## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **AIMS OF THE TRUST** 

To: Provide, furnish, maintain and administer at Hospitalfield House, Arbroath, an Institute for the study and practice of the arts, which would function for such part of the year as the Trustees regard practical within the limits of the finances available and of the facilities of the Trust. 

HOSPITALFIELD - An Artist’s House - a place where time and space for new ideas is the highest priority. 

A place for art production; we run an international programme of residencies for artists; rooted in the visual arts yet working across art form …. we commission new work, summer schools; events; talks; festivals; conferences & more… 

Hospitalfield is one of Scotland’s most fascinating Victorian Arts & Crafts houses with a history that connects Arbroath’s dynamic medieval history with the legacy of a 19th century artist. This is a beautiful place to visit, learn about and enjoy. 

Hospitalfield is a place of research and development for artists and at the core of the programme is a series of nationally and internationally significant residency programmes for artists, curators and writers which are accommodated within the house and purpose built studios. Over the last year we have made great strides in developing new commissions for our public programme, so growing the audience for Hospitalfield. 

A current priority is to develop a greater audience focused programme through opening the house frequently to the public, platforming new work, developing productive international links that will help us to support artists working locally and evolving strong strategic partnerships with schools and other local and regional agencies. 

The context within which this programme is evolving is a valuable historic one - in 1890 Patrick AllanFraser left his house and estate of Hospitalfield in trust. The principle of the bequest has been interpreted loyally over the years and, since the early part of the 20th century Hospitalfield has hosted and facilitated, through residency programmes; artists, students, educators, writers, curators, and others working within the broad themes of contemporary art, design and cultural ideas. As a result, Hospitalfield has had a central role in the arts ecology of Scotland for a long time and will continue to facilitate the development of artists and designers at all stages of their careers.

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Trustees’ report** 

The House itself is one of Scotland's most important Arts & Crafts houses with a significant history. As a hospital established in the 12th century the site was linked to the early years of Arbroath Abbey then as a monastery and much later was the inspiration behind Walter Scott’s novel The Antiquary. It is however the mid-19th century architecture, and the early arts and crafts style that influenced the vision of Patrick Allan-Fraser, that we experience today. Alongside the vivid Victorian collections and exceptional early arts and crafts interiors experienced in combination with the surrounding landscape, this is an impressive place to visit and outstanding resource for the arts in Scotland and beyond. Hospitalfield has been an artist’s house since the mid-19[th] century and we continue to interpret this vision by supporting artists and learning in the arts through the prism of contemporary art and ideas. 

The aims as set out in the current business plan: - 

- To conserve and care for the outstanding heritage of Hospitalfield. 

- To provide a dynamic research and production environment that will be a valuable and creative catalyst in the working lives of artists and arts professionals. 

- Further establish the public facing, porous cultural resource for a broad range of audiences across Scotland 

- Ensure that learning is central to, and effective within, all programming strands. 

- Engage our participants through a variety of access points, from contemporary art programming to the range of historical narratives. 

- To prioritise local concerns and opportunities equally to the development of international partnerships and networks which will contribute much to the quality and impact of our programmes. 

- To ensure that Hospitalfield has an economically sustainable future achieved through strong partnerships, collaborations, and a clear strategy for earned income. 

## **Review of Activities** 

## **HOSPITALFIELD’S FUTURE PLAN** 

The Trust is nearing completion of the restoration of the historic studios and the development of the new 21[st] century digital studio. This is a £3.5m investment with funds from Creative Scotland, Tay City Deall Historic Environment Scotland and other supporters. 

The buildings were handed back post completion in March 2024 with a 12 month defects period. 

In this year the Trust received permission to start the design phase for the next phase of works to the historic house and the development of the collections study centre. This is estimated to be a further £4.9m investment in to the important heritage property and the development of a new building to hold the archives and collections. The development period brought us to RIBA stage 3 and enabled us to clear the required permissions for the development. The funding applications are now submitted and we are wating for a September 2025 deadline for a decision from NLHF which will trigger the other funding stakeholders to confirm their funding. 

## **Working with Artists in our Public Programme** 

In this year we took an overarching loose theme – All About Grian. We worked in partnership with the Travelling Gallery

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Trustees’ report** 

We delivered the first Grow Up Festival which emerged as a summer school but programmed for those interested in horticulture. The focus on the garden and our horticulture programme is becoming more established. 

We commissioned the artist Frieda Ford to give vision to the annual children’s procession – a project which is a collaboration between Hospitalfield and two local primary schools, Muirfield Primary and Timmergreens Primary School. This is the first of the seven years that this project has been running where the artist has worked with the school to make an animated film. 

Our popular walks continued. This is a programme that has sustained since covid and included in the year a bat walk, the super moon walk with the story teller Erin Farley. 

We developed a new model, our study days – the first of the three was programmed with Ufuoma Essi, the second on the voice, with Adam Benmaklouf and the third – the Artist House Study Day - brought speakers from across Europe to speak about the development of their projects which have at their centre the house of an artist left for the benefit of others. 

With the new studio available the residency programme was an important focus for development after not having had on-site studios for 2.5 years. 

A number of other public events focussing on families and young people were also developed. 

## **Engagement & Learning** 

Over 12,000 individuals engaged with our learning programme including over 700 children and young people. We have continued to grow our long-standing developmental partnerships with Angus schools and key third sector organisations such as Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust, Angus Carers, Angus Community Mental Health Team, Glen Isla & Glen Clova Women’s Charity and Voluntary Action Angus. Volunteers In 2023 we worked with a team of over 45 volunteers. These are individuals who give their time to specific activity at Hospitalfield. Volunteers are an essential part of the Hospitalfield team, they are engaged across our garden and horticulture programme, house tours, events and work on the collections. 

We have continued to run the New Scriptorium with the Arbroath 2020 committee at Arbroath Abbey.

## **Trustees’ report** 

## **INCOME GENERATION AND HOSPITALFIELD TRADING** 

The café continues to develop and we now have a stable and excellent staff team running the hospitality. The other business is gradually in recovery from covid. We are grateful to our Directors of the Trading Arm for all their help and support through this setting up period. 

## **STAFFING** 

## **Hospitalfield Trust** 

The Trust employs eleven members of staff. 

The Hospitality Development Manager is employed by the Trust to drive the business forward for the Trading arm. We have made a conscious decision for this role to be covered by the Trust as it is vital that the Trust is able to directly guide the work of the Trading arm so that it aligns with the profile of the Trust. 

## **Hospitalfield Trading** 

The trading arm employs the part time café staff, chefs and this year we moved the housekeeping staff in to the trading arm. 

## **VOLUNTEERS** 

The volunteer cohort at Hospitalfield is currently around 50 people. Some are focussed on working in the grounds and the garden, others with the collection care. This is an increasingly committed group of people that we rely on significantly as they run the tours of the house. 

## **COLLECTION CARE** 

We had funding from the National Lottery heritage fund to have a 12 month full time post for someone to focus on developing the systems around the collection. left in August 20204 after the period was complete. 

## **Financial review** 

## **GOING CONCERN** 

The trust continued to progress with the ongoing capital project with the support of the capital funders. After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. 

## **RESTRICTED RESERVES** 

Hospitalfield is holding considerable reserves currently as this is funding that is restricted to capital development. Some trusts give their funding in advance of the project taking place. Once the capital funds have been spent the depreciation of the project will be offset against the relevant funds. Depreciation is only applied to phases as they are complete and fully operational. Moving forward the Trustees want to pay particular attention to the tracking of restricted funds to operating budgets.

## **Trustees’ report** 

## **INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE** 

Under its Constitution, the charity has power to make any investment that the Trustees deem appropriate. The Trustees objectives are to invest the funds with a view to the generation of income and capital growth from the portfolio of the company's investments. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **GOVERNING DOCUMENT** 

The Trust in its present form was set up by a Statutory Instrument 1980 No. 2037 (S. 183) [Education, Scotland] and is governed by its constitution. The organisation is unincorporated and a new constitution was approved on 27 April 2010 following the constitution of 23 December 1980. 

Following the 2010 constitution, the governing body shall consist of a maximum of 11 Trustees. The appointed Trustees shall hold office for a period of three years. Trustees shall be eligible for appointment for a maximum of two terms, thereafter vacating office for one year before becoming eligible to serve for a maximum of two further terms. 

The Trustees are responsible for the overall strategy of the charity. Lucy Byatt was appointed in September 2012 as the Director of Hospitalfield, to form the vision and to take this forward. 

## **POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees ensure that a skills audit is maintained and where there are clear gaps in the skills and knowledge required by Hospitalfield at board level, the Director and Chair of the Trust work together to gain applications from individuals who can bring these skills to the organisation. 

The Chair will invite interested individuals to follow their preferred application process. A potential Governor will often be invited to observe a Governor’s Meeting and will be formally invited to become a Trustee if all parties are in agreement. 

When each Governor joins the board they are presented with a pack which includes a range of papers relating to the Trust. Within these papers there is a guide to the roles and responsibilities of a trustee published by OSCR. The Trustees attend an away day annually with the staff. Part of the programme for these days will include training and an update on the roles and responsibility of a Governor of a charitable trust. 

## **PAY POLICY FOR SENIOR STAFF** 

The pay policy for senior staff is reviewed annually. 

## **ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING** 

A scheme of delegation is in place and during the year the day to day responsibility for the provision of service rested with the executive director, Lucy Byatt. The executive director is responsible for forming the vision for the Trust and overseeing the management of both the Trust and the Trading arm this includes supervision of the staff team and management of the finances.

## **Trustees’ report** 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees are working to ensure that they have a system in place that offers a good level of knowledge of the running of the organisation. 

The Trustees delegate their responsibility for health and safety management and other risk to the staff team. They then request reporting of all the management protocols. 

The main risk over the coming three to five years will relate to the capital development. There are key fundraising targets and if these are not met the Trustees must consider the position before commencing the next capital phase. The Trust has established a Development Sub Committee which allows for very close scrutiny of the fundraising. To mitigate the risk of an over large capital commitment, the Trustees have made the decision to phase the capital investment project to ensure that work can take place yet on a manageable scale. 

In 2017 Hospitalfield established a trading arm, Hospitalfield Trading. This has been done to ensure that increased business use of the site can benefit the Trust in terms of revenue income and in preparation for running the site after the capital investment. Work is underway to improve the reporting between staff and Trustees to ensure the financial and organisational risk is low. 

## **REVIEW OF RESULTS AND RESERVES POLICY** 

The consolidated financial statements show a deficit in unrestricted reserves of £34,932 at the year-end (2023 - deficit £91,768). In the individual charity financial statements the charity have unrestricted reserves of £27,348 (2023 – deficit of £57,369). During the year the decision was taken by the trustees to amalgamate the endowment fund which had no restrictions with the unrestricted reserves. This has been shown in the financial statements as a transfer between the funds. 

The Trust has considered the level of reserves required to meet current and future liabilities. The Trustees’ policy is to gradually build up unrestricted reserves, given the financial requirements of the day to day operation of the Trust, as well as maximizing restricted funds acquired to invest in the capital infrastructure, in the collection, and in specific activities of the Trust. The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves to cover between three and six months expenditure. Whilst the Trust has substantial unencumbered assets, unrestricted liquid resources available for general operational activities are currently limited, and a focus of the capital development plans is therefore to invest in a manner that reduces ongoing operational costs and increases income generating potential. The aim is to build up £135,000 of unrestricted reserves by generating operating and trading surpluses. 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

This focusses on the future plan and its impact. In 2025 we will be operating the new facilities for artists and working on the next design phase of the Future Plan.

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust (the “parent charity”) and its subsidiary (“the group”) for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, Trust and group balance sheets, Trust and group cash flow statements and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

## In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s and group’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its income and expenditure for the period then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) 

## **Basis of opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Trust and group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or 

- proper accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable organisation’s and group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Trust and group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instance of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations is detailed below. 

The audit team has the appropriate skills and expertise required and through discussions with management and trustees and knowledge of the sector to ensure any non compliance is recognised and all necessary disclosures are made. The controls in place help the charity mitigate the risk of fraud and also aids them in highlighting any instances of fraud that might have occurred. 

We assess the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement including obtaining an understanding of how fraud and non compliance with laws and regulations may occur. 

- Making enquiries of management & Trustees about any known or suspected instances of non compliance with laws and regulations, including GDPR, health and safety, employment law and fraud. 

- Enquires of management & Trustees as to where they consider there is a susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of how actual, suspected and alleged fraud might occur. 

- Review of any correspondence with regulators including OSCR & HMRC. 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates – depreciation and allocation of funds and support costs as accounting estimates during the audit. 

- Auditing the risk of management override controls, including through testing of journal entries and other judgments for appropriateness. 

- Review of any areas where there is potential of management bias, large & unusual transactions and the risk of undisclosed related parties. 

- Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual transactions. 

Because of the field in which the client operates we identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements; 

Direct Impact on Financial Statements 

- The Charities Accounts (Scotland) regulations 2006 

- SORP - FRS 102 

- Charities & Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 

Indirect Impact on Financial Statements 

- GDPR 

- Employment Laws 

- Health & safety at work Act 

- Charities Constitution 

12 



**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Trustees of The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance, trustees regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity its Trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Notes to the consolidated financial statements** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 - effective 1 January 2019 & Charities SORP - FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 

The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 and is a registered charity in Scotland (charity number SC009987). 

The financial statements are presented in Sterling £. 

The charity is unincorporated and is a recognised Scottish charity (charity number SC009987). Details of its principal office are noted on page 1. 

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line-by-line basis. 

## **Basis of accounting and assessment of going concern** 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and included the results of the operations of the Trust as indicated in the Trustees' Report. The financial statements incorporate the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Trust in the preparation of the financial statements. 

## **Group financial statements** 

These financial statements consolidate the results of the Trust and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hospitalfield Trading Limited on a line-by-line basis.

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Notes to the Consolidated financial statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Going concern** 

The Trust continues to receive restricted and unrestricted funding for its ongoing activities including the development of the property and running of the site. Excluding restricted funds, the Trust must manage its operating activities within a limited and stretched budget. A significant uplift in public funding from Creative Scotland has been secured for the coming three years. Year one of this funding is less than required, but this has been addressed by a reduction in the expense budget in year one, including delayed hirings. The investment in a trading subsidiary, whilst still in its early days, is now diversified and making a solid contribution to overheads. The Trustees are confident that with its focus on the more profitable revenue streams, together with the rising popularity of the trading offer, the Trading Company will become increasingly profitable. The ongoing capital project is also designed to boost income generating opportunities for the Trust in addition to safeguarding and enhancing the assets. Hospitalfield is currently in a development phase where many of the planned recurring savings in annual expenditure and boosts to regular income are yet to be realized, so cashflow remains tight. Nevertheless, the Trust has considerable tangible heritable assets, including land and buildings and collections of significant worth, most of which are not valued in the balance sheet. Whilst the Trust continues to preserve and enhance these assets in delivering the mission of the organisation, they are unencumbered, and Trustees may liquidate assets as appropriate to ensure the long term health of Hospitalfield’s operations. Having considered expected future funding and income streams and the strong asset profile, the Trustees consider that there are no materiel uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern.

**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Individual items costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost unless funded by restricted grants. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: 

Heritable property - Not depreciated Fittings & Equipment - 5 – 25% of cost Arts Collection - Not depreciated Property’ improvements - 10% of cost (older improvements) 2% of capital development, once in use 1980 scheme expenditure - 3% of cost 

No depreciation is provided in respect of land and buildings under construction. 

The historical cost of Land, Buildings and the Art collection owned by the Trust have not been reflected in the accounts up to 21 April 1994, and the Trustees consider it would be impracticable to now include these items. For this reason, reference to Heritable Property and the Art Collection in these accounts relates to expenditure incurred since 22 April 1994. 

Heritable property is not depreciated as this cost reflects additional costs attributed to the heritage asset which have not been included in the accounts as information relating to the cost of value is not available. The Trustees believe however that the property will appreciate in value over the coming years. 

## **Heritage assets** 

Heritage assets measured under the cost model are recognised initially recorded at acquisition cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Where information on the cost or value of an asset is not available and cannot be obtained at a cost which is commensurate with the benefits to users of the financial statements, the asset shall not be recognised in the statement of financial position. 

## **Investments** 

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading 'Gains/(losses) on investments' in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

(i) Subsidiary undertakings 

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment. 

23 



**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Trust; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and cash held in a deposit or similar account. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Trust has a presented obligation resulting from a post event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party, and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The Trust only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial investments. Basic financial investments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Funds** 

In the Statement of Financial Activities funds are classified as either restricted funds or unrestricted funds, defined as follows: 

_**Unrestricted funds**_ are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the Trust without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. _**Restricted funds**_ are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure, which meets these criteria, is charged to the fund together with a fair allocation of management and support costs. 

_**Endowment funds**_ are monies held in an investment portfolio which provides dividend income to the charity. 

A transfer is made from unrestricted funds to restricted funds to compensate fully all restricted funds which would otherwise be in deficit at the accounting date. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognisable when the Trust and group have entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. 

24 



**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Grants** 

Government and other grants in respect of capital expenditure are included in the income and expenditure and depreciation of the capital costs is offset against the grants over the estimated useful lift of the relevant fixed asset. These grants are included within restricted funds. Any grants shown in the balance sheet represent the total grants receivable to date less the amount so far credited to the income and expenditure account. 

Government and other grants relating to revenue are recognised when the Trust has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. All other income is included when the Trust and group are entitled to the income, it is probable the income will be received and when it can be reliable measured. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings. 

- Raising funds are those incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

- Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the charitable objects of the Trust and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities as well as the governance of the Trust and group. 

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across cost categories based on an estimate of the proportion of hours spent on these activities. 

## **Irrecoverable VAT** 

All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. 

## **Pensions** 

The Trust operates a defined contribution pension scheme, and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Trust to the fund in respect of the year. 

## **Taxation** 

The Trust has been registered by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) as a charity. The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. 

25 



**The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued)** 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits 

## **Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

## **Critical Judgements** 

## **Depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over a period to reflect their estimated useful lives. The applicability of the assumed lives is reviewed annually, considering factors such as physical condition, maintenance and obsolescence. 

Fixed assets are also assessed as to whether there are indicators of impairment. This assessment involves consideration of the economic viability of the purpose of which the asset is used. 

## **Overhead allocation** 

Overheads are allocated against restricted funds on an actual basis as are direct costs. Wages and salaries are also allocated on an actual basis. Remaining overheads are allocated on an agreed percentage in line with any grant awards. 

## **Stock** 

Stock has been estimated at values from around the year end. This is considered adequate as only a low level of stock held and there was minimal purchases around the year end.

## **Investment Risks** 

FRS 102 requires the disclosure of information in relation to certain investment risks. These risks are set out by FRS 102 as follows: 

Credit risk: this is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. 

Market risk: this comprises of currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. 

- Currency risk: this is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

## **The Patrick Allan-Fraser of Hospitalfield Trust** 

**Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)** 

## **13 Fixed asset investments (continued)** 

- Interest rate risk: this is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. 

- Other price risk: this is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial asset will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market. 

The Trust has exposure to these risks because of the investments it makes to implement its investment strategy. The Trustees manage investment risks, including credit risk and market risk, within agreed risk limits which are set taking into account the Trust’s strategic investment objectives. These investment objectives and risk limits are implemented through the investment manager agreements in place with the Trust’s investment managers and monitored by the Trustees by regular review of investment portfolios. 

## **Credit risk** 

The Trust invests in pooled investment vehicles and is therefore directly exposed to credit risk in relation to the instruments it holds in the pooled investment vehicles and is indirectly exposed to credit risks arising on the financial instruments held by the pooled investment vehicles. 

## **Analysis of direct credit risk** 

Direct credit risk arising from pooled investment vehicles is mitigated by the underlying assets of the pooled arrangements being ring-fenced from the pooled manager, the regulatory environments in which the pooled managers operate and diversification of investments amongst a number of pooled arrangements. The Trustees carry out due diligence checks on the appointment of new pooled investment managers and on an ongoing basis monitor any changes to the regulatory and operating environment of the pooled manager. 

Pooled investment arrangements used by the Trust comprise authorised unit trusts. 

Indirect credit risk arises in relation to underlying investments held in the bond pooled investment vehicles. This risk is mitigated by only investing in pooled funds which invest in at least investment grade credit rated securities. 

## **Currency risk** 

The Trust is subject to currency risk because some of the Trust’s investments are held in overseas market, via the pooled investment vehicles. At the year end, the Trust’s exposure to funds investing in overseas securities was 31.3% (2023 – 22.67%) of overall investment. 

## **Interest rate risk** 

The Trust is subject to interest rate risk through investments comprising of bonds. At the year end the Trust’s exposure to funds investing in bonds was 16.58 % (2023 – 17.05%) of overall investment. 

## **Other price risk** 

Other price risk arises principally in relation to equities held in pooled vehicles. The Trust manages this exposure to other price risk by constructing a diverse portfolio of investments across various markets.

## **Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)** 

**Capital Building Project** – Hospitalfield is holding considerable reserves currently as this is funding that has been raised specifically for the capital development. Some trusts give their funding in advance of the project taking place. This funding will be held until we have completed the relevant stages of the capital development and subsequent depreciation will be offset. 

**Arts  Programme** –  relates  to  funding  received  for  specific  arts  programmes  to  be  carried  out. 

**Place Partnership** – to strengthen a programme of activity across the region and is designed to encourage participation in the arts, support artists and celebrate the rich culture of the region by working alongside Angus Council, Angus Alive, Brechin 2020 and Arbroath 2020. 

**Paolozzi Foundation –** monies received for the transport/restoration of the Paolozzi Sculpture to be installed with the grounds of the charity. 

**Angus Remembers** – working with artists as part of the place partnership programme to create with communities across Angus memorials to remember the complexity and impact of the COVID pandemic. 

**Heritage Fund –** funding towards the conservation of the portrait of John Phillip by Patrick Allan of Hospitalfield Trust 

**Endowment Fund** – represented monies held in an investment portfolio which provides dividend income to the charity however there is no legally ringfenced fund or evidence of any restriction on the use of either the income or capital. The fund just " represents monies in an investment portfolio" and, the trustees have decided to transfer the investments into the unrestricted funds in the current year.
