Structure, governance and management
Registered as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).
The name of the organisation is "Kirsty Maxwell Killed Abroad
Holistic Support Charity".
The organisation's purposes are the advancement of health and
Wellbeing, and the relief of those in need by reason of age. ill-health.
Disability. financial hardship or other disadvantage. by providing
Support and assistance to those primarily from Scotland but also those
From other parts of the UK who suffer a bereavement in respect of a
Death that occurred out with the UK.
Trustee recruitrnent and appointment
All trustees on board are volunteers who have been by brought on board by
inviiation as people who have the relevant skills both practical and
theoretical to ensure we have the necessary skills to help run the charity on
behalf of those requiring our services.

Achievements and performance
We have continued to be available 2417 to assisl support and listen to
people who come to us with hope to help triem get the answers they
seek.
We have managed to sign post, advise those in need what their next
steps could be to further their cause.
We have a great network to tap into including tran¢lators and case
reviewers.
We have been thanked for our courteous and understanding but most
of all our sincertty and conndenii¢lity in dealirbg with what is
distressing circumStan￿s.
We have managed to become part of and have a substantial input
into the recently released Scottish Government MOU Scotland
guidance on Deaths abroad.
push and exert pressure on relevant bodies and to give leverage to
those left abandoned by authorities wtth nowhere else to turn.
Our volunteers give up their own free lime to help and assist
whenever they can.

Our I rustees and Volunteers at.Fend events to enable the public to our
chancy and its cause and assistance we can offer.
Flnancial review
We have like othei charities suffe,"ed from the lasting financial issues from
Covid. I hese are challenging times whpre people do noi readily carry or
have cash to spare dorlations and cop..￿lbUllon5.

However we have been meeting our goal of helping and 8SSlSting others to
get the services and help they seek. We also are gearing ourselves up to
meet the policy on ensuring those we assist remaTn confidential.
Statement of the charity's policy on reserves
We intend to use all monies within the account to assist families as per our
organisation's charitable purposes.
We shall ring fence an amount of £1000.00 for emergency use.
This we feel is a minimum amount we must maintain in order to enable the
charity to function as a Support charttable organisation to help and assist in
fighting for families and other victims of loved ones killed abroad.
Future plans
We will remain active in seeking to address the imbalance that resides
between the Legal systems within the United Kingdom.
We are in continued consul:IiV£s ialks withe the COPFS. Scottish Govement
and VSS on a MOU document lo assist those from Scotland with a loved
on8 killed abroad.
The mitigating differences between the COPFS system in Scotland and the
Coroner system in England and Wales has shown that those families from
Scotland are perhaps at a disadvantage from the onset.
In our opinion more should be done in all UK legal systems to help those
families get more help and assistance when dealing wilh a loved one who
has been killed abroad.
Additional inforniation
We have been humbled and surprised ai the enquiries we have received
from families all over ihe UK seeking out our help and assistance.
Post pandemic, people still need support and help.

Sadly we have experience in dealing wtth a suspicious unexplalned death
abroad of a loved one and we waD.t to use this pain￿llY gained experience
in helping, assisting and supporting others who find themselves in a similar
position.
We have been fortunate to have people raise funds to enable us to act
when an enquiry is received, to access services that may help people in
their quests. to sign post and generally just be there if people want to talk.
We have formed a netsvork with others to collaborate arid suprx)rt those in
need, but as volunteers we do this in our ovjn time, no one is paid and all
donations raised go to the b=nefil oi those we are aiding.
We don't have an ambassador but li someone is willing to step forward and
help us highlight and put a spotlight on the lack of formal and mandatory
help there is from UK govemments to the inadequaCi85 of legal jurisdictions
abroad ihell please do.
