Nid( Bibby. The Trust remains In good hèahh and Cominues. through ils granl-m8kiny, lo support a diverse group of lalented people lo realise academic opportunities l)eyond Scotland. The Trust's ability lo continue doing Ihi5 for the longer term, however. will require an injection of new capital to SU8tain and, we ho￿, increase the pace and 8cale of grant-making. The Trust has enjoyed a period of re-invuoration this year, as il has focusse(l on the need to build up ils capital for the benefit of the many talented individuals il seeks to support in future. The planned reliral of several trustees, while representing a loss of valuable experience. nevertheless (Yealed an opportunity lo energise the Trust by appointing cohort of new Iruslees with an impressive range of expertise and thovAedge direcly re￿¥sn1 lo major fundraising Èttorts.
