TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Trust Deed, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects are established in its Constitution, and these are: such charitable purposes as the Trustees may determine at their sole discretion.
To these ends, the Charity awards grants to eligible beneficiaries ranging from £15 to £1,500 (exceptionally the Charity may award a greater sum). The grants are intended to provide tangible benefits to such beneficiary groups as the Trustees may deem appropriate. The Trustees are guided by the Settlor in determining donations and are mindful that donations can be of particular value to many smaller charities which are less well known than larger charitable bodies and which do not benefit from widespread publicity.
To sustain the Charity's activities, the Trustees maintain an Endowment Fund, the income from which is used to finance the Charity's grant-making activities.
Achievements and performance
In this reporting period, the Charity awarded grants to twenty eight institutions worth a total of £14,268 (2024: £11,335 to thirty eight). The grants were awarded to finance such activities as those institutions receiving funds deemed appropriate.
Financial review
The financial statement, presented overleaf, show that the Charity's gross income, excluding funds released from the Endowment Fund, amounted to £18,808 in this reporting period (2024: £18,672). The Charity's main source of income is the gift aid donations received from William and Elizabeth Berry, which this year amounted to £13,000 (2024: £13,000). In addition, investment income generated by the Charity's Endowment Fund amounted to £5,406 (2024: £5,269). Other sources of income together amounted to £402 (2024: £403).
Gross expenditure in Unrestricted Funds amounted to £16,680 (2024: £13,303).
The value of the Charity's Endowment Fund stood at £123,307 at the end of this reporting period (2024: £120,420).
Investment management costs chargeable to the Charity's Endowment Fund amounted to £476 in this reporting period (2024: £562).
Reserves Policy
The Charity's reserves at the end of this reporting period stood at £37,465 (2024: £35,337). The Trustees generally seek to apply the whole free income of the Charity, making reasonable provision for professional fees and outlays where appropriate.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Investment Policy
The Trustees have instructed Investec Wealth & Investments UK Ltd, a subsidiary of Rathbones Group with effect from 21 September 2023 to manage the Charity's investment funds on a discretionary basis. Rathbones Investment Management Limited acquired Investec Wealth & Investments UK Ltd on 21 September 2023 with full integration on 12 April 2025. The Trustees have advised that they are prepared to accept a medium level of risk. Investec Wealth & Investments UK Ltd are instructed to seek a balanced return between both capital growth and income.
Risk Management
The Trustees monitor the performance of each institution supported by the Charity. Where appropriate, the Charity may require institutions that receive grants to provide a copy of their Annual Report and Accounts to facilitate the consideration of support in future years.
The Trustees have considered the risks to which the Charity is exposed. These relate in the main to investment management and have been ameliorated by the employment of an investment manager. Another risk to which the Charity is exposed is fraud. However, the Trustees consider the low level of donation made by the Trust reduces the risk. In addition, at least one of the Trustees will have some knowledge of any chosen charitable body to which a donation is made.
Plans for the Future
The Trustees plan to continue to award grants, provided sufficient funding is available.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity is an unincorporated Trust constituted by Deed of Trust by William Berry dated 14 May 1971 and registered in the Books of Council and Session on 25 June 1971.
The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: William Berry W.S. (Deceased 25 June 2025)
Mrs Elizabeth Margery Berry
Hugh Patrick Younger W.S.
Trustees are assumed by the existing Trustees, and resign, under Section 3 of the Trusts (Scotland) Act 1921.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF TAYFIELD FOUNDATION
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) | to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
-
(ii) to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations;
-
have not been met or
-
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
1 Accounting policies
- 1.1. Accounting convention
The Endowment Fund represents the principal sum settled to the Trust, which the Trustees have invested in accordance with the powers conferred on them by the Trust Deed for the benefit of future beneficiaries; the Trust Deed confers on the Trustees the power to apply such funds for charitable purposes at any time and may do so at their sole discretion. The Trustees apply the unrestricted income of the Trust for the benefit of the beneficiaries in accordance with their policy for donations.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
1.4 Incoming resources
Investment Income is included in the Account in the year in which it is received.
1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised in full in the year in which it is paid.
