Trustees’ Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and financial statements for the Year Ended 5th April 2025.

Status of Charity and Governing Document

The Neil and Pauline Pettefar Charitable Trust (“the Trust”) was established by Deed of Trust dated 8 October 2004. The Trust is a Scottish charity (number SC036157).

Trustees

The Trustees who served during the year and to the date of this report were as follows:

Appointment and induction of Trustees

The Trustees have power to assume additional Trustees. New Trustees undergo an induction process which helps them to understand the charity's purposes, financial position and facing the charity's current issues

Administration

The management of the Trust is the responsibility of the Trustees who are listed above. The Trustees administer the Trust’s affairs at meetings arranged as necessary, but at least one meeting is held each year, at which finances are reviewed and decisions made on the recipients of grants. The day to day running of the Trust is undertaken by Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP.

Statement on Risk

The Trustees review periodically the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and the systems which are in place to mitigate those risks.

The Trust has no long term commitments and accordingly regards any risk as being low, minimal and easily contained.

Charitable objectives

The objective of the charity is to benefit such recognised or registered charities, particularly but not exclusively those concerned with wildlife and based in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland (particularly the Isle of Skye), or for other purposes charitable in law as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion think fit to support or establish.

Trustees’ Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 (Cont'd)

Achievements and Performance

The Trustees are pleased to have made grants to charitable orgniasations during the year totalling £25,000. The trustees continue to seek suitable projects to support.

Financial Review

The financial statements for the year are set out on pages 7 to 11. The Statement of Financial Activities on page 7 reflects net incoming resources for the year of £157 (2024 - incoming resources of £3,077). The Statement of Financial Activities also reflects a total decrease in funds for the year of £8,904 (2024 - increase of £62,434). Net assets at 5 April 2025 were £1,134,504 (2024 - £1,143,408).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with current statutory requirements and the Trust deed whose provisions have been observed in the investment of the Trust funds.

Reserves policy

The Trustees’ policy is to hold a level of reserves sufficient to generate income required to meet commitments foreseen in the short to medium term. Unrestricted funds were maintained above this level throughout the year.

Investment policy

The Trustees have engaged Wright Johnston & Mackenzie LLP as investment advisors, and have instructed them to invest in a balanced portfolio of investments taking a low medium risk approach overall, seeking to achieve a balance between generating income to fund grant giving, and growing the capital.

Bank account

The Trustees have considered OSCR’s recommendation that the charity holds a bank or building society account in the name of the charity. The Trustees have discussed and agreed that holding an account through their solicitors provides the Trust with additional safeguards such as cover from the Client Protection Fund which is administered and maintained by the Law Society of Scotland which can compensate clients against loss. Additionally, all clients accounts held by a solicitor must comply with the Law Society of Scotland Accounts Rules which regulate and monitor the funds held by law firms. Finally, it is very difficult for Charitable Trusts to open and operate accounts through High Street or Specialist banks. Operation of such accounts would create additional administrative costs without the safeguards and benefits offered when operating the account through the Trust’s solicitors. Accordingly, the Trustees have agreed to maintain the existing banking arrangements.

Grant Making Policy

The Trust makes grants to organisations that are involved in activities which comply with the objectives of the Trust Deed and which have obtained charitable status, and the trustees consider any applications receied on their merits.

Taxation

The Trust is a charity and is recognised as such by HM Revenue and Customs for taxation purposes. As a result there is no liability to taxation on any of its income.

Trustees’ Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 (Cont'd)

Plans for Future Periods

As mentioned above, the Trustees continue to seek suitable organisations which they can support from the trust funds in line with the trust objectives.

Trustees’ responsibilities

The Charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and 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.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

e observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;

e state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

eprepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charity 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 taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
