STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
with
Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those 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; - prepare 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 which 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 and The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Ward Family Charitable Trust Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Ward Family Charitable Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, 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 (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 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Auditors' 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or - proper accounting records have not been kept; or - 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 oftrustees |
|---|
| As explained more fully in the Statement ofTrustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of |
| the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is |
| necessary to enable the preparation offinancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud |
| or error. |
| Inpreparing 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. |
| Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| We have been appointed as auditors under Section 44(1)(c) ofthe Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 |
| and report inaccordance with the Act and relevant regulations made orhaving effect thereunder. |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from |
| material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue a Report ofthe Independent Auditors that includes our |
| opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, 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 ofusers taken on the basis ofthese financial statements. |
| The extent to which ourprocedures are capable ofdetecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| 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 ourprocedures are capable ofdetecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| We obtained an understanding ofthe legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity, focusing on provisions |
| ofthose laws and regulations which could havea direct effect on the determination ofmaterial amounts and disclosures |
| in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included Scottish charity |
| legislation andUK tax legislation. |
| We assess the susceptibility of the entity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might |
| occur, as part ofour preliminary procedures. This is continually reassessed throughout the audit process to ensure all |
| risks identified are addressed, and involves a detailed review ofthe controls in place and the environment in which the |
| charity operates. |
| We also undertake procedures designed to identify those laws and regulations which are most relevant to the entity and |
| its ability to continue. This includes documenting our understanding ofthe entity and discussions with management on |
| those laws and regulations crucial to its ongoing operations. In undertaking this process we are able to document areas |
| where irregularities wouldbe most likely to occur. |
| Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to detect circumstances in which irregularities could |
| result in material misstatement and to identify irregularities which may have occurred. Our procedures included: journal |
| entry testing; enquiries ofthose charged with governance; review of specific transactions and documentation; analytical |
| procedures; and reviewofthe presentation and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| We communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members |
| and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
| Because ofthe inherent limitations ofan audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those |
| leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements ornon-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 ofinstances ofnon-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding |
| irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, |
| omission or misrepresentation. |
| A further description ofourresponsibilities for the audit ofthe financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting |
| Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the |
| Independent Auditors. |

- PRESENTATION CURRENCY
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. Going concern The charity is exposed to any fluctuation in the listed investments market performance though it has taken steps to mitigate this by holding a significant level of cash funds on longer term deposits. The value of investments in hand means that it can continue for some considerable time to meet expenditure at current levels. The trustees have no concerns over the charities ability to continue to finance good causes.
The trustees are confident the charity will be in a position to continue operating along existing levels for the longer term. The trustees therefore believe it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis. Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’:
- — the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
