The results for the year are set out in the attached financial ststements, which have been prepared In
accordance with the accountin8 policies set out on pages 9 and 10 and comply with the charity'strust deed
and applicable law.

The income and expenditure of the general fund 15 set out on page 7. Income amounted to £87.18312024:
£272,970), while expenditure amounted to £119.24112024: £162.3671.

While property out8oir8s in 2025 exceeded rental income by just over £3,(KM)12024.' c.£55.(KJOI, ￿ Is
expected that a more substantial shortfall will arise durin8 2026. This is because of the requirement to
undertake a major refurbishment of the basement tenanted flat at the Highgate property. Although a
Survey report has already been commissioned to set out the detailed recommendations for the work
invofved, it is too earfy for any reliable estlmate to be gfven of the IIke￿ overall tosts. Accordingly. no
provlslon has been Included in the 2025 accounts. However, the Trustees remain confident that thls wlll
remain well within funds available including from the listed investments.
The Ilsted Investment portfolio. on the other hand. has seen a significant improvement in overall returns,
whlch nei of fees amounted to £83.76912024: £47,950, see note 7 on page 121. of whlch £50,(DJ was

Geopolltlcal uncertainty was an ever-pre5ent feature durlng 2025, whlch has contlnued Into 2026.
However, despbte thls, risk assets had a stmng year. The al￿￿e return ts lowerthan Indlcated by the upllft

Whlle markets In the earty part of 2026 have remained large￿ sanguine about the US-Iran war, the
medlum-term outlook 15 expected to reflect how lon8 this conflict will take to be resolved and the
consequent Smpact on the global economy and interest rates. A4ainst thls backdrop. broad diversification
Is seen as the most resllbent way to manage market volatiity.

Rlsk Management
The Trustees take this area seriously and have considered the risks faced by the Trust. These include the
risk of fraud and error, catastrophe, and reputational risks amon8St others. Regular review and updatin8
by the Trustees of the relevant procedures and processes already in place are desi8ned to mitigate these
risks,
In the opinion of the Trustees. the key riskto the Trust continues to be ensuring that sufficient Income can
be generated to Sustain a capability to meet property maintenantr costs a5 and when required.

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.

VALUATION OF ACCOMMODATION BENEFIT
These financial statements are required to ￿flert the charfvs contractual rlghts and obllgatlons
as well as the grants made to beneficiaries from its financial resources. 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 deS￿natIOn 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 alr￿1￿8 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.
