For the year ended 19 August 2025 (Contd)
Financial Review (Contd):
Investment Policy: In accordance with the trust instrument and statutory provision, the trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares and investments in the United Kingdom or overseas as they in their sole discretion think fit. The trustees have retained Rathbones Investment Management Limited as investment manager. The trustees' investment policy is geared towards a balanced return between capital and income from a medium/high risk perspective and this policy is reviewed on a regular basis. Reserves Policy: The trustees wish to preserve the investments in the Endowment Fund, subject to market fluctuations, as the income is important to fund payments to the charity beneficiaries. Risk Management: The trustees have assessed the risks to which the trust is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate those risks. The most significant areas of uncertainty are the level of investment return and overall performance over time of the mix of assets in the portfolio in volatile markets. These areas are regularly reviewed by both the investment manager and the trustees. Related Parties: s a Partner of Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP. Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP provide administration, legal and accounting services to the trust for which fees are charged. In the accounting year ended 19 August 2025 Shepherd and Wedderburn fees amounted to £8,400.00 (2024; £8,400.00). Fees of £nil (2024; £1,740.00) are outstanding at close of period.

Trustee Tenure: On the basis of trustee appointment, there is no predefined period. As specified by the trust instrument, at no time shall the number of trustees exceed nine or be fewer than five. A new trustee may be appointed by Deed of Assumption and Conveyance. At trustee meetings the trustees review the control functions of the trust and consider the merits of appointing new trustees who can add value to the management of the charity, and who are known to the trustees.

A new trustee should receive a copy of the previous year's account and also an extract from the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 relating to the duties and responsibilities of running a charity.

As such, the trustees must ensure the circumstances and operations of the trust continue to meet the charity test and the trustees are required to comply with their statutory duty to supply information to the Scottish Charity Regulator, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator.

Trustees’ Report (Contd)
For the year ended 19 August 2025 (Contd)
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Trust Deed, The Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report To The Trustees
| report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 19 August 2025, set out on pages6 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
As described in the Trustee's Report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirements of Regulation 10 (1) (a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under 44 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In the course of my examination, no other matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements;
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended); and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended);
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts
For the year ended 19 August 2025
1 Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Assessment of Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of fixed asset investments at fair value (market value), and are in accordance the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Income Recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies are recognised when the trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. This is normally upon notification by our investment manager.
Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including governance costs and support costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
Charitable payments are payments made in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the trust. In the case of an unconditional payment this is accrued once the payment has been made or the recipient has been notified of the award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive funds. Awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the trustees.

UK domiciled securities are held on the trust’s behalf by Rathbones Investment Management Limited and registered in their nominee name. Overseas domiciled securities are held on the trust's behalf by a subcustodian appointed by Rathbones Investment Management Limited and registered in the name of the subcustodian's nominee. As at 19 August 2025 the market value of the UK domiciled securities was £2,033,676 and the market value of the overseas domiciled securities was £601,018.
Investments are all traded in quoted public markets. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value). The main form of financial risk faced by the trust is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of the investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors and sub sectors, particularly as the trust is reliant on the dividend yield in part to finance its work. The trust has managed the investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges. The trust does not make use of derivatives and other similar complex financial instruments.
