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 institutions and individuals ranging from £100 to £10,000 (exceptionally the charity may award a greater sum). The grants are generally intended to further one of the following three charitable objectives:-
-
grants to institutions for general charitable purposes;
-
¢ provision of financial assistance to elderly individuals living in or in the vicinity of the Glennapp estate; and
-
promotion of education by funding scholarships at specific educational institutions.
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. Where material sums are involved, individual beneficiaries may also be obliged to demonstrate progress against agreed objectives to facilitate further support.
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 125 institutions (2024: 135) wortha total of £211,033 (2024: £213,167). The grants were generally awarded to finance such activities as those institutions receiving funds deemed appropriate.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Financial review
The financial statements, presented overleaf, show that the charity's gross income in the unrestricted fund amounted to £250,821 in this reporting period (2024: £237,225), which was wholly composed of investment income generated by the expendable endowment fund.
Gross expenditure from unrestricted funds amounted to £260,427 (2024: £269,186) in this accounting period.
The value of the charity's endowment fund stood at £5,718,571 at the end of this reporting period (2024: £5,916,807). This includes two motor vehicles at a cost of £10,990 to be used by beneficiaries.
The cost of managing the expendable endowment fund amounted to £14,092 in this reporting period (2024: £9,881) and were wholly composed of investment management costs and custody charges.
Reserves Policy
The charity's unrestricted reserves at the end of this reporting period stood at £84,897 (2024: £94,503).
The Trustees generally seek to apply the whole free income of the charity, making reasonable provision for professional fees and outlays where appropriate.
The Trustees retain unrestricted funds at a level to manage cashflow requirements of the charity. Endowment funds are held in order to provide a return for future grant making.
The Trustees keep under review the key risks to which the charity is subject to including investment performance for which a professional advisor has been appointed.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have instructed Investec Wealth & Investments UK Ltd to manage the charity's investment funds on an advisory basis. Investec Wealth & Investments UK Ltd, a subsidiary of Rathbones Group from 21 September 2023, transferred the portfolio into Rathbones Investment Management on 12 April 2025. The Trustees have advised that they are prepared to accept a medium level of risk and their investment objectives is a balanced return between capital growth and income with a bias towards income.
The Trustees have considered the risks to which the charity is exposed. These relate in the main to investment management and therefore the Trustees have employed an investment manager to advise them. Another risk to which the charity is exposed is fraud. However, the Trustees consider that the process of application for donations made by the Trust reduces this risk.
The Trustees protect against the risk of financial mismanagement by the appointment of Solicitors, who are bound by the Law Society of Scotland Solicitors’ Accounts Rules in relation to their client monies, to carry out the day to day administration of the Trust in compliance with regulations governing charities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
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 Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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 year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Inchcape Foundation (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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 5 April 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
: have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
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.
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 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.

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. or a material misstatement of the other information.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

- 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 set out on page 4, 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.

THE INCHCAPE FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE INCHCAPE FOUNDATION
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 under that Act.
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:
- enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and
regulations and fraud;
- reviewing available board minutes; - inquiring and reviewing any available correspondence with regulators including OSCR, and - auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
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 and misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http:// www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-fi/description-of-theauditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

13 ‘Fixed asset investments
(Continued)
All investments are carried at their fair value. Investments in equities and fixed interest securities are all traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. Securities listed on recognised Stock Exchanges are valued at their closing mid-market price on the last business day of the reporting Period. Unit Trust and Open-Ended Investment Companies (OEIC) holdings are valued at their bid price or, where appropriate, the single quoted price. Gilt Edged securities are valued excluding accrued interest. Where an investment trades or prices infrequently, the actual realisation value may be materially different to the market value indicated.
The significance of financial instruments to the ongoing financial sustainability of the Trust is considered in the financial review and investment policy and performance sections of the Trustees’ Annual Report.
The primary risks to the value of the Trust’s investments and the income they produce lies in the prospect of potential recessions or inflationary effects in the major global economies as the United States introduces tariffs on imports at significantly higher levels that previously experienced. Uncertainty prevails in the global economy as prices rises ripple through affected economies, whilst Europe fears the dumping of cheap goods may push the region back into deflation. Central Banks are now in loosening mode as they seek to maintain economic growth as the global economy cools. Concern regarding regional conflicts remain, as the Ukraine war grinds on and conflict in the Middle East escalates. The second main risk lies in the retention of a large position in a single equity by the Trust which represents a higher-than-average stock specific risk for the portfolio. The Trustees regularly review this position and have instructed that this position is reduced over time. To counter these risks the Trust holds a well-diversified portfolio of assets including Fixed Income funds, direct UK equities, collective investments exposed to overseas markets and collective investments exposed to ‘alternative’ areas such as infrastructure, gold and absolute return mandates.
Liquidity risk is considered to be relatively low as all the direct equities are large or mid-sized companies and are constituents of the FTSE 350 index. The Unit Trusts and OEICs held by the Trust are invested primarily in liquid underlying assets, mostly stock market shares traded daily on global exchanges, illiquid assets such as property or infrastructure are held in closed ended funds which will not be required to liquidate underlying assets to meet redemptions. None of the Trust’s holdings are subject to trading restrictions.
The Trust manages these risks by the appointment of Rathbones Group, who are professional investment managers. The Trustees review the investment managers’ performance and transactions by meeting with them and receiving reports from them on a regular basis.
