Pagè 2 ## **Allander Youth Activities Charitable Trust Trustees' Annual Report (cont) Year ended 31st December 2024** ## **Investment Policy** Evelyn Partners (Previously Smith & Williamson Investment Management) operate as the Trust's investment advisors and have discretionary powers. A medium risk policy is being adopted with a view to achieving a balance of income and capital growth. ## **Trustee remuneration and expenses** The Trustees did not receive any remuneration. No out of pocket expenses were reimbursed. Page 3 ## **Allander Youth Activities Charitable Trust Trustees' Annual Report (cont) Year ended 31st December 2024** ## **Plans for the Future** The Trustees continue to encourage grant applications particularly from voluntary youth organisations in the West of Scotland. 2025 has seen an encouraging start, with the value of grants awarded by the end of July over £100,000. The costs of activities continue to be hit by inflationary pressures, this being reflected in many grant applications. As a consequence of this the trustees expect that the Grants to be awarded for 2025 will significantly exceed projected dividend income for the year. To date 81 grants amounting to just over £118,000 and benefiting over 2,600 young people have been approved. Approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) 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 Examiner's statement** My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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 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 - (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended) and - (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended) 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.
