## **James McCord Charity** 

## **Charity Commission No 100877** 

## **Annual Reporting Period to 5[th] April 2026** 

## **Trustees Report** 

After a protracted period of delay due to the Trust’s banking being withdrawn, replacement facilities were put in place with Danske Bank in September 2025 and final balances transferred from previous bankers in early February 2026. 

This period of time caused a delay in practical work of the trust and while activities are now in plan during 2026, resulted in a lack of activity in line with the Trust’s aims and objectives by financial year end. 

The Charity’s investment fund continued to grow in the reporting year under the mandate with professional investment advisers. The total fund and cash balance at 5[th] April 2026 was £154k and satisfactory to Trustees.
