THE DRUMMOND TRUST

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31 December 2024

Scottish Charity No. SC011077

Current Trustees

Contact address

Hill & Robb Limited, Solicitors, 3 Pitt Terrace, Stirling, FK8 2EY.

History, Governing Document and Charitable Purposes

The Drummond Trust was created by Peter Drummond, Seedsman in Stirling, by Trust Disposition dated 21 August 1863 and registered in the Books of Council and Session on 16 July 1877 and subsequent Codicils.

The Trust which started in the lifetime of Peter Drummond and continued after his death on 9 July 1877 was involved principally with the printing and distribution of tracts in Stirling and further afield to observe Sunday as the Lord’s Day and to spread His Word.

Before 1977 the Trust (then commonly known as Stirling Tract Enterprise and Drummond’s Tract Enterprise) employed its own staff and had its own printing works where tracts and other Christian publications were printed.

In 1977 financial constraints and difficulties caused the Trust to scale down its operation and it now exists purely to make grants available to assist in the publication of works of sound Christian doctrine and outreach. Assistance may be given to computer software, music CD’s etc. fulfilling the trust purposes.

The Trustees prepare accounts on an annual basis to 31 December in each year.

All administrative, financial and legal matters including preparation of annual accounts are handled through its Secretaries. Hill & Robb Limited, Solicitors, 3 Pitt Terrace, Stirling to whom all correspondence for the Trust should be addressed.

Since around 1975, the Trust operated a partnership with the University of Stirling to hold a series of lectures once every two years which gave an opportunity to advance the Trust purposes and to further spread the name of Peter Drummond and the Drummond Trust and also Peter Drummond’s more celebrated nephew Henry Drummond. The arrangement is now at an end, 2007 being the last of the formal Lectures series. The Trustees consider supporting Lectures and Talks on an ad hoc basis and did so in 2010, 2012 and 2021. They organised a highly successful Mission Conference in March 2017.

The Trustees meet twice a year in March and September to consider the financial and other administration of the Trust and also to consider applications for grant assistance for publications. Grants are paid upon publication.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The Trustees are self appointing to a maximum of 9. The quorum is 3. The current Trustees have a broad range of knowledge covering expertise in religion to financial expertise.

Main Activities and Achievements in the financial year

Grants totalling £17,501.98 were awarded during the year to assist publications. Grants previously awarded totalling £11,915.87 were paid upon publication of various works applied for.

The Trust’s financial position remains sound. The accounts are self-explanatory. There are no particular changes contemplated as to development or other activities of the Trust.

No other information is relevant for proper appreciation of the financial position. There are no bodies connected with the Trust.

There are no transactions between connected bodies.

Policy on Expenditure and Reserves

Expenditure allocated for each subsequent year’s grant allocation is calculated from the most recent annual accounts. In the calculation administration costs and trustees expenses are attributed as appropriate between capital and revenue. The proportion of the costs attributed to revenue is deducted from the total annual income as shown in the accounts. From that sum 10% is deducted. Thereafter any funds allocated in previous years and not claimed within 1 year from date of award are added back to give the total for the year ahead.

The 10% deduction is designed as a prudent measure to preserve some Trust assets based on its historical experience.

Trustees Remuneration and expenses

The trustees do not receive any remuneration.

STIRLING,

On behalf of the Trustees of the Drummond Trust, we hereby approve the terms of the foregoing Report.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DRUMMOND TRUST

Independent Examiner’s Report

I report on the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on pages 1 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10 (1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiners Statement

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 seeks 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1.which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

have not been met, or

2.to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
