Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

The charity was incorporated as a SCIO with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator on 15 September 2022 and commenced operations on 1 January 2023. The assets of The Royal Scots Museum Trust (SC005163) were transferred to the SCIO on 1 Nov 2023, recognised 1 January 2024, so although this is the second year of operating as a SCIO, it is the first year that includes the Museum. The final accounts for the Museum were prepared to 31 March 2023 and the funds transferred include all activity up to the date of transfer. Additionally The Royal Scots Association, previously an unincorporated association, has been included in the SCIO. This completes the re-structuring to combine those three previously separate entities into one SCIO.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

Objectives

The main aim of the SCIO is to preserve the history and traditions of The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) ("the Regiment") and maintain contact between former members of the Regiment and members and former members of its successor Regiment, The Royal Regiment of Scotland. The charitable purposes of the SCIO are:

  1. The prevention or relief of poverty and the provision of recreational facilities and in furtherance of these purposes, the SCIO will carry out, amongst other things, the following activities:

  2. Providing financial assistance, or assisting with the provision of financial assistance by others, to former members of the Regiment who are in necessitous circumstances and to their spouses, civil partners, widows, widowers, children and other dependants in such circumstances.

  3. The SCIO will also assist former members of the Regiment by providing advice and guidance to members who are in search of employment outwith the Regiment.

  4. The SCIO will also promote the advancement of education, the arts, heritage culture and maintain the esprit de corps of the Regiment and its successor Regiment and their respective former members and members by, amongst other things:-

  5. Maintaining the Collection which consists of objects and artefacts of significance to the Regiment and people associated with the Regiment which will be made available to the public through display or other appropriate location.

  6. Liaising with schools, via an outreach programme, and any other interested parties in an attempt to promote the history of the Regiment more widely which will include facilitating access to the Museum or Museums where the Collection will be maintained.

Activities

The Trust provides welfare support to former members of the Regiment and their families, including assistance with the relief of financial hardship. It maintains and promotes the history and heritage of the Regiment through the display of our Collection in the Museum, maintenance of monuments and memorials, engaging with local communities through temporary exhibitions. It provides a focus for all former members of the Regiment and their families through social events and activities in order to foster comradeship.

The Trust maintains strong links with The Royal Regiment of Scotland (SCOTS), the successor regiment. It also supports 1st Battalion The Ranger Regiment (1 RANGER), which was re-designated from 1 SCOTS, which itself had been formed from 1st Battalion The Royal Scots and 1st Battalion The King's Own Scottish Borderers.

Report of the Trustees

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

During the year to December 2024 £8,297 (2023: £10,442) was disbursed in grants to assist with 32 (2023: 49) welfare cases, £3,604 of which was brought forward from the prior year. The administration of this activity was undertaken by Regimental Headquarters (RHQ) SCOTS, successor regiment to The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment). The criteria for award of grants are stipulated in a Memorandum of Understanding; the process is monitored by the Regimental Secretary on behalf of the Trustees and funds are transferred when required. In addition to the monies disbursed by RHQ SCOTS, they still retain £806 that has been allocated, but not yet used at the year end.

A successful Museum outreach exhibition was conducted in July 2024 to promote the Regiment's history, engage with local communities and provide education opportunities. This was event built on the success of the previous year and again attracted significant interest, raised the profile of the Regiment and the Trust, and provided an opportunity for local people to research the service of their ancestors. The Museum has run a successful programme with schools to offer educational opportunities and promote links with local communities. Other outreach activities have focused on including local communities in memorial events to commemorate those who served the country in times of peace and conflict.

Several social and sporting activities has been conducted by Branches of the Regimental Association across the UK and the wider Regimental family, fostering comradeship and providing a network to support all former members of the Regiment and their families.

The Trust raises funds from investments, donations, and fundraising activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

A review of the provision of financial services to the Trust was conducted during the year ended 31 December 2024, particularly focusing on the Investment Manager and the Treasurer. Brewin Dolphin (latterly RBC Brewin Dolphin) had provided investment management services for many years; after a rigorous interview process, where 8 other managers were compared, Evelyn Investment Management Services Limited (Evelyn Partners) were selected on 28 May 2024. The majority of investments were transferred to Evelyn Partners in December 2024, but the process was not completed until January 2025. The performance below is reflective of RBC Brewin Dolphin's management of our funds to the 31 December 2024. Accountancy services were also reviewed; these, along with the role of Treasurer, had been provided by Henderson Loggie, while MHA had acted as the Independent Examiner. Following a similarly thorough selection process, Cowan and Partners have been appointed to provide accountancy services and conduct the independent examination, while the role of treasurer has been brought in-house. These changes have been made to provide improved coherence in financial management and greater rigour in accounting processes.

The statement of financial activities for the year is set out on page 7 of the financial statements. A summary of the financial results is given below.

The income for the year to 31 December 2024 was £111,594 (2023: £85,817). Principal funding sources were largely investment income together with some income from social functions and retail sales. Expenditure for the year to December was £163,295 (2023: £122,720) and this produced an excess of expenditure over income of £51,701 (2023: £36,903).

Investment income in the year has seen income of £52,561 (2023: £54,511) from dividends. There has been a gain in investment value in the year of £276,977(2023: £122,959).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy and objectives

The investment portfolio is monitored regularly by the Trustees in conjunction with discretionary management from the investment advisers. The impact of geo-political uncertainties, particularly the war in Ukraine and the Israeli /Palestinian conflict, have also been carefully considered.

The change of investment manager provided an opportunity to review the Investment Policy. This was conducted during 2024 with the updated statement being implemented in February 2025. Prevailing market conditions continue to support the total return mandate and as a result, the Investment Policy remains broadly unchanged. This continued approach is also recommended by the investment manager.

The investment objective is to obtain a mix of capital growth and income from a diversified risk portfolio. The total return mandate has offered increased diversification and enabled the manager to consider a wider range of companies to choose from. The were no specific investment restrictions.

Trustees are resolute in ensuring the Investment Policy remains appropriate to meet the Trust's objectives against the current geo-political backdrop. Ongoing and continued monitoring of the portfolio ensures this is achieved. All investments are held for the Trustees by a nominee company of Evelyn Partners.

The total increase on the Trust's investment portfolio of 8.77% above inflation (CPI) over the year compares against an increase in the Brewin Dolphin Risk Index of 12.3%. The Trust operates with a Risk Level of 7 out of 10 which represents moderate to high risk.

Reserves policy

The Trustees aim to maintain sufficient cash deposits via ad hoc quarterly withdrawals from the investment portfolio so that both the ongoing costs of running the Trust and the payment of grants may continue to be made. The reserves policy is therefore to maintain an investment portfolio that generates real growth in capital and income over the long term to allow this policy to continue. There are no restricted or designated funds. All funds may be applied at the discretion of the Trustees. The total amount of reserves held at 31 December 2024 was £2,798,915.

Generating sufficient income to cover expenditure is an ongoing challenge due to the dividend restrictions in the aftermath of the pandemic and time anticipated for dividends to fully recover. The aim of the total return mandate is to offer greater growth potential which can be accessed via ad hoc quarterly withdrawals and offset the reduced levels of anticipated income due to depressed yields. The positive experience gained during 2024 has supported the continued adoption of the total return mandate. Ongoing Grant Funding is being explored along with measured portfolio withdrawals to support the budget. In setting the policy for the use of reserves Trustees were mindful of the need to meet the objectives of the Trust but recognise that over time there will be fewer former members of the Regiment and fewer dependents requiring assistance. In the light of this, a modest use of the reserves to supplement income each year is acceptable but is closely managed by careful budgeting to ensure that the needs of current and future beneficiaries can be met and so far as possible capital value of the funds maintained.

For the year ending the 31 December 2024, the Trust investment portfolio had an annual gross income of £56,278 (source: Brewin Dolphin) compared to estimated income in the year to 31 December 2023 of £54,901. The Trustees believe this to be a realistic level of income to be anticipated from the portfolio given the agreed investment mandate. While dividend income is expected to continue to be challenged, the growth potential of companies in which the Trust holds investments should help to compensate. The Trustees are satisfied given the level of reserves to proceed with a budget that shows expenditure in excess of income.

FUTURE PLANS

The Trustees will continue their activities to maintain and promote the history and heritage of the Regiment in accordance with the Objectives. A particular emphasis will be placed on outreach activity, principally through temporary museum exhibitions at external locations to engage with local communities and make the history and heritage more accessible. Work will continue to achieve greater coherence with The Royal Scots Club, founded by the Regiment as a war memorial. This will be articulated in an updated Regimental Strategy that will provide a vision of an enduring Royal Scots legacy from 2040 and beyond.

Report of the Trustees

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is governed by its Constitution dated 20 May 2022 which was registered by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator on 15 September 2022.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The Trustees have the power to appoint new trustees. The Trustees listed were the first appointees on incorporation of the SCIO. Each Trustee can remain in post for an initial term of 5 years and can be appointed for a second term of 3 years. Exceptionally a third term of 2 years may be approved. On completion of their tenure Trustees will relinquish their position for at least 2 years before being eligible for re-appointment. One trustee, Lt Col GJ Rae, has resigned in the year of reporting.

Management

Organisation

The Trustees determine the policy and agree the principal distributions to be made during the year. The management is carried out by the Regimental Secretary, supported by the Executive Committee, which has delegated powers of decision making. Activities of the Trust are divided into three areas: Welfare and Benevolence, the Regimental Association, and Museum and Heritage. Welfare and Benevolence is administered on behalf of the Trust by RHQ SCOTS in accordance with the MoU and this activity is monitored by the Regimental Secretary. Activities of the Regimental Association are organised by a committee of Office Bearers, the President and Chairman of which are Trustees. Museum and Heritage activities are directed by the Museum and Heritage Committee of which the Chair and one other member are Trustees, and supported by a curator. The Regimental Secretary provides coherence across all aspects of the Trust's activities.

Risk management

The Trustees review the risks faced by the organisation routinely at the bi-annual Trustee meetings and as required by exception. Risks are recorded in a Risk Register and appropriate action is taken to mitigate risks where necessary.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 23 May 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Royal Scots Regimental Trust SCIO

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on pages seven to fifteen.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's 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 the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. 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.

The accounts are presented in sterling which is the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.

The Trustees consider that the financial statements should be drawn up on a going concern basis as the investments generate funds sufficient to cover the grants paid and other expenditure. The transfer of the activities of the Association and Museum to the SCIO has no impact on their continuing operations.

Income

Income is recognised in the financial statements when there is legal entitlement to the income, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and when receipt is probable.

Donations, legacies and similar incoming resources are included in the year in which they are receivable, which is when the charity becomes entitled to the resource.

Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grant have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donated facilities are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably, and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity.

Income from charitable activities comprises income from regimental gatherings and social functions and is recognised in the year in which the event takes place, which is when the charity becomes entitled to the income.

Income from trading activities comprises proceeds from the sale of items through the shop, which is recognised when the sale is complete, and the charity becomes entitled to the income.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Dividends are recognised once the dividends have been declared and notification has been received of the amount due.

Expenditure

Expenditure on raising funds includes costs associated with generating income for the charity through its investment portfolio or through its shop. Charitable expenditure comprises both the direct costs of grant making and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the charity. In the case of an unconditional grant offer, this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the award. This notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant.

All expenditure is accounted for an on accruals basis when there is a legal or constructive obligation which can be measured reliably. After careful consideration it was decided that the expenditure from regimental gatherings and social functions were charitable expenditure rather than fundraising activities. Support costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the closing market price. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are charged or credited in the statement of financial activities and are allocated to the endowment fund. The charity has no complex financial instruments. The main form of financial risk faced by the Trust is that of volatility in the investment markets due to wider economic conditions.
