Plans for the Fulure In accordance wlth the objett5 of the charity. and in spite of ongoing uncertainties affectlng the global outlook, the Trust fully intends to continue trxjth the development of its visitor programme and the music scholarships. The latter will, it is hoped, include a new conductlng fellowship at the Royal College of Muslc to be named after the Founder, from the 2027-28 academlc yearonwards. Alongside these, establlshment of the Hawklns Special Fund already in 2025 will provide additional small grants for students, early-career researchers and muslcians. Extensfve repalrs to the tenanted basement fiat at Holty Terra will be undertaken during 2026 at a slgnrficant cost but this is not expected to affect the Trusys programme of charitable activlties during the year or In future.

As indicated in the Trustees. Report, and in addrtion to such cash 8r8nts. a primary objective of the charity is the provislon of accommodation to Students. This supplementary note provides an indicatlon of the value of such provision. referred to below as a subsidy. The fomiat that Is required in these financial statements does not enable thls value readlty to be Identified, nor for a corresponding comparlson to be made wlth the previou5 year. This 15 partly because the costs associated with this provision cannot easily be separated from those costs incurred on the mairitenance of the chariWs properties as a whole. which include costs a150 13
attrlbutable to the generation of rental tncome. In this context, it is not considered that attemptlng such a cost allocation would erther be justified or helpful. The whole of this expendilure is accor(lingly disclosed, in the Statement of Financial Activrties, within the cost of rai5in8 funds. Indeed, gNen the fluctuatlons in expenditure on property repairs from one year to another. a valuation of the provision of accommodation based simply on annual costs Incurred would be like to prove misleading. With the above in mind, this rbote summarise5 an3tys undertaken based on the rental opportuntties foregone arising from the deSnatIOn of rooms within each property as available for students rather than lo be let to generate income for the trnst. The maln assumptlons adopted for thls anatysis are: The basement flat at each property, bein8 self<ontained and pemianently let solety to provlde Income. is exduded from th analysis. The rentsl values reflected, comparable with those charged to 5tudent5 at London University ha115 of resldence, are for larger rooms £842 pm12024- É7831 and for smaller rooms £775 pm 12024- £7211. In those Instances where rooms are made available to Student5 at a conce551onary charge, the actual rent char8ed15 netted off the above rates in alr18 at the value of the related subsldy. The maxlmum annual subsldy thereby derived Is not attenuated In respect of the student visitor season beglnnln8 in April and c105ing at the end of November, work necessarily bein8 undertaken from December to March belng regarded as integral to the ¢harltWs provlslon of thls accommodation. Nonetheless. some 08n[tIOn is desirable to illustrate the impact ot the actual occupancy achleved as a proportlon, where relevant, of the len8th of the visitor Season. Such proportlon wlll be 100% as regards a room occupied by a long-terni student thmughout the year. The actual annual subsidy is thus the maximum annual subsidy multiplied by the occupancv percentage. The results of th15 anatysls are summarbed thus: 2025 2024 Maxlmum Annual Sub51dy £42.329 £40,596 Occupancy (%) 72% Actual Annual Subsldy £30.401 £36,227 While the increase in the maximum subsidy reflects the expected rise in market rents for thls type of accommodation in London. the reduction in both the occupancy and attual subsldy, as compared with 2024. refleds the reassvdnment of atcommodation during 2025. 14
