The trust was established by the late Bernard Brodie in 1989. The trust does not actively fundraise and maintains a careful stewardship of its existing resources. The trust deed provides for a minimum of three trustees and a maximum of seven trustees. The power of appointing new or additional trustees is exercisable by the trustees. The trustees meet at such intervals as they consider appropriate. The charity has no full time or part time employees or volunteers to assist in the running of the charity; the daily administration being carried out by the trustees themselves. THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST 2 ## TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (Continued) ## Risk Management The trustees have reviewed the major and financial risks that impact on the work of the trust. The systems that have been established enable the trustees to review and take necessary steps to lessen these risks. ## Objectives and Activities The object of the trust is to apply the capital and income of the trust fund for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit. The policies adopted by the trustees in achieving these aims are to make grants to suitable organisations themselves charitable in nature. ## Public Benefit The trustees have complied with section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act, having due regard for the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives, when setting the grant making policy and in making awards. ## Grant Making Policy The trustees consider all grant applications on an individual basis and will make donations to approved applications, when funds are available. ## Achievement and Performance During the year, 48 grants totalling £71,010 were approved and made to 39 charitable organisations compared with 18 grants totalling £54,591 and made to 16 charitable organisations last year. The trustees consider that these represent an appropriate exercise of their discretionary powers. ## Financial Review During the year the charity received a legacy of £100,000 from the Estate of Mrs M E Brodie. This income and the income derived from the Capital expendable endowment fund, together with the trustees' power to convert the capital to income and distribute at their discretion to charitable causes, resulted in a surplus of income for the year of £27,445 (2020: deficit of £55,606). ## Investment Policy and Performance There are no restrictions on the trust's power to invest and the current policy is to invest short term funds with the trust's bankers. ## Reserves Policy The trustees' aim is to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level that will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover support and governance costs. The level of reserves at 31 March 2021 was £117,575. ## Plans for the Future The trustees have no immediate plans to modify or radically change any of the objects, activities or policies described above.

P M Brodie Trustee THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST 8 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 ## 1 Accounting policies ## Charity information The Brodie Charitable Trust is a Charitable Trust established under a Trust Deed dated 11 December 1989. ## 1.1 Accounting convention The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## 1.2 Going concern At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. ## 1.3 Charitable funds All funds are unrestricted. Both the capital and income of the charity can therefore be applied at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charitable objectives of the trust. The capital-expendable endowment fund comprises the capital fund established to provide income for the charity grants in accordance with the objectives of the Trust and arose from an intial £500,000 donation received on 15 November 2000. A further £200,000 donation was received into this fund on 24 March 2010. No restrictions have been placed on the capital balance, enabling the trustees if they wish to convert the capital to income and distribute at their discretion to charitable causes where the need arises. ## 1.4 Income recognition All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt (so it is probable that the income will be received) and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. ## 1.5 Expenditure recognition Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the trust. The grants are accounted for where either the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition and the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant, or any condition attaching to the grant is outside the control of the trust. THE BRODIE CHARITABLE TRUST 9 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (Continued) ## 1 Accounting policies (continued) ## 1.6 Irrecoverable VAT Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. ## 1.7 Charitable activities The expenditure on charitable activities includes grants and governance costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice, including all management and administrative costs. ## 1.8 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. ## 1.9 Financial instruments The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. ## 2 Donations and legacies On 25 September 2020, the charity received a legacy of £100,000 from the Estate of Mrs M E Brodie, the trustees' late mother.
