Objectives and activities
In the year ended 30 June 2013, the Trustees carried out a review of the Trust purposes as set out in the original Trust Deeds of 1871-1887 in order to adapt them to the changed circumstances of the twenty-first century. They agreed that the objectives of the Trust were as follows:
-
To aid by grants certain specified institutions as may from time to time be selected by the Trustees in their sole discretion;
-
To found and endow or assist in founding and endowing Bursaries and Scholarships in connection with the University of Glasgow as the Trustees may from time to time fix and determine;
-
To found and endow or assist in founding and endowing Educational Institutions, Professorships or Masterships in Glasgow or within five miles thereof to support scientific and technical instruction;
-
To build or assist in building and to enlarge or renew in connection with any of the Protestant Evangelical denominations in Scotland Churches or places of religious worship and any Schools or Halls attached in Glasgow or within five miles thereof and to support or assist in supporting the Clergymen of such Churches; and
-
To aid by grants of money any Charitable Institutions, Trusts or Associations in addition to those specifically named for the relief of poverty and disease or Institutions, Trusts or Associations for the promotion of Protestant and Evangelical religion or of Education in Glasgow or within five miles thereof, which the Trustees may select.
Following Counsel's advice the five mile radius is based on the Glasgow City boundaries applicable as at 15 May 1975, prior to local government reorganisation at that time.
Grant making policy
Grant requests are discussed and authorised by the Trustees at their regular meetings. Requests which are within the means of the Charity and in line with the objects of the Charity are generally accepted.
The Trustees reserve the right to decline an application which is not in line with the objects of the Charity; applications from charities which are, in their opinion, already sufficiently funded; or where the applicant has already received assistance within the past two years.
Achievements and performance
During the year ended 30 June 2025 the Trustees continued to fulfil the aims and objectives of The Bellahouston Bequest Fund, awarding charitable grants amounting to £177,000 (2024: £178,250) as detailed in note 8 of the accounts.

Bellahouston Bequest Fund Trustees' Annual Report (continuea)
Year ended 30 June 2025
Financial review
The Trust is reliant on the income from its investments, which amounted to £142,441 in the year (2024: £141,377). Excluding gains/losses from sales and revaluations of investments, the deficit for the year was £(104,252) (2024: Deficit of £(104,329)).
Investment policy and performance
In accordance with the Trust Deed, the Trustees have the power to invest in such stocks, shares, investments and property in the UK as they think fit. After consideration the Trustees agreed that a medium-high risk strategy, as defined by their Investment Advisers, is appropriate, as this is in keeping with the spread of investments that the Trust holds currently, and would consider in future. During the current year the market value of investments increased by approximately 0.7% (2024: increase of of 10.18%). The assets are invested to generate a total return from a combination of both income and capital growth. The objective is to grow the long-term value of the endowment in line with inflation for a 4% annual drawdown over the reporting year. The current income yield is 2.6% and thus the drawdown represents both income generated and the drawdown of capital gain through time.
Risk management
The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charitable trust is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
Ethical investment policy
The Fund's assets should be invested in line with its requirements to make monetary payments and periodic gifts to successful applicants for assistance.
The trustees expect that the appointed Investment Manager will within the investment section process: 1 Be aware of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations; and
2 Exercise discretion and avoid any investment which might be considered inappropriate.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have, in discussion with the investment manager, agreed a strategy whereby they look to protect the long-term capital value of the Fund against inflation and draw down a sustainable amount on an annual basis from a combination of income and capital to support beneficiaries. Capital gain is locked in through time to support this and the level of the drawdown is reviewed annually and adjusted if necessary to reflect prevailing market conditions.
Total Endowment reserves at 30 June 2025 amounted to £6,061,688 (2024: £6,074,011). Total unrestricted reserves at 30 June 2025 amounted to £42,975 (2023: £24,131).
Trustees’ responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.

Trustee
Bellahouston Bequest Fund
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Bellahouston Bequest Fund
Year ended 30 June 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Bellahouston Bequest Fund (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes, 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 charity's affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
° have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Basis for 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 charity 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 trustees' 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 charity'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.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
° the information given in the trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements, or
-
° adequate accounting records have not been kept; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns: 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Bellahouston Bequest Fund
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Bellahouston Bequest Fund (continued)
Year ended 30 June 2025
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances 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 is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the charity, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations and the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated managements’ incentives and opportunities for the fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements, including the risk of override of controls. Based on our assessment we adopted a substantive approach to our audit testing. Audit procedures performed included:
Testing a sample of transactions to source documentation. We select sample sizes having regard to the inherent risk (specific and general), the quality of the internal controls and the risk that our testing might not detect possible misstatements.
Making enquiries of management, those charged with governance and the entity's solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims. Identifying legislation of particular relevance to the entity and obtaining audit evidence regarding compliance with that legislation.
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example forgery or concealment.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
e Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
¢ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

-
° Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
° Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
° Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance 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.
Use of our report

Bellahouston Bequest Fund Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 30 June 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in Scotland and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is George House, 36 North Hanover Street, Glasgow, G1 2AD, Scotland.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charity Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern. With respect to the next reporting period, 2025-26, the most significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the Trust are the level of investment return and the performance of investment markets (see the investment policy and performance and risk management sections of the trustees’ annual report for more information).
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

- Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Endowment funds. The expendable endowment fund was created by a gift from Miss Elizabeth Steven and Miss Grace Steven. The terms of the endowment allow the capital of the fund to be spent if the trustees so determine.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any
financial activities to which it relates:
-
° expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of ail fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
e other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Bellahouston Bequest Fund Notes to the Financial Statements (continuea)

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Trust does not acquire share options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
