The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity seeks the promotion for public benefit of good physical and mental health and the prevention and/or relief of poor physical and/or mental ill health and suffering, by such charitable means as the trustees may think fit from time to time, including but not limited to:

Providing, or assisting in the provision of, services or support related to suicide prevention and bereavement support such as (but not limited to) advice and counselling services; and/or

the provision of grants and/or any other forms of assistance and support to such charities and for such charitable projects, services and activities as the trustees may regard as appropriate from time to time.

The Rose Paterson Trust is a non-partisan organisation and does not seek to inculcate or promote a particular point of view.

It was established by the Paterson family following the death of Rose Paterson in June 2020 and seeks to raise and distribute funds to support organisations who work to prevent suicide.

During the period ended 31 December 2024, the charity received donations of £291,414 (2023: £202,097) .

Significant activities

The charity was established in 2020 following the death of Rose Paterson in June of that year. Our mission is to support the organisations and individuals combatting the suicide epidemic. If we can help save just one family from the tragedy of suicide, this initiative will have been worth it.

The Rose Paterson Trust has been born out of the immense pride Rose's family have in her and the depth of their despair at facing life without her.

It is a privilege to present our fourth annual report. The Rose Paterson Trust has now completed three rounds of Grant making following several years of successful fundraising. It is wonderful to honour and remember Rose in this way, by helping to save many lives across the country.

The Rose Paterson Trust works with the CSJ Foundation to seek out some of the best suicide prevention charities and administer a programme of Grants to support their work. Each year we identify and longlist prospective grantees and carry these applications through to payment of grants and progress reporting.

During 2022 we supported seven suicide prevention charities with grants totalling £131,000. Our reporting showed that we helped these charities reach 850,000 people through innovative technology and a further 8,164 people in person. It was reported that 7,388 lives had been changed, and at least 231 lives directly saved. We were delighted to share this Progress Report during 2023, which has been published on our website.

During 2023 we nearly doubled our giving following successful fundraising initiatives. We distributed grants totalling £216,500 to twelve suicide prevention charities, five of whom were Grantees continued from 2022. Our Chairman, Owen Paterson, has committed time to visit each of these Grantees across the country and has witnessed their life saving work firsthand.

During 2024 we again increased our grant programme, determined to provide support for our outstanding grantees who are fighting suicide. We distributed a total of £280,000 to eighteen suicide prevention charities. All twelve grantees from our 2023 programme received continued support, with five of these now in their third year of funding. Six new grantees were added. Owen Paterson continues to visit their leadership teams across the country and all Trustees are inspired by the incredible work taking place on the frontlines, saving lives every day.

Towards the end of each reporting period, grantees are asked to complete a Progress Report. The document which reports on the grants made in 2024 will be released toward the end of 2025. At the time of writing, the grantees are still in the reporting period. We are eagerly awaiting what we expect to be increased impact with more people being reached, lives being changed, and lives being saved. We never cease to be amazed by the incredible work of our grantees.

Using only the results from the 2023 and 2022 rounds of grants, the Trustees are delighted to report cumulative figures of an incredible 2 million people reached, over 81,000 lives touched (low impact interventions), over 21,000 lives changed (high impact interventions) and 1,298 lives saved. It is likely these totals, particularly lives saved, is significantly higher, but gathering and quantifying this data is complex. Based on this information we are fulfilling our mission and saving many families from the tragedy of suicide.

This work is a credit to the fantastic dedication and commitment of our Grantees, small but mighty charities spread across the country, deeply embedded in communities, and tirelessly saving lives. From all of us at The Rose Paterson Trust, thank you.

The Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank the hard work of the charities and thank the generous support of our donors. Without the compassion of our donors and the dedication of the frontline charities the above results would not be possible. Hundreds of wives, husbands, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters would not be alive today, and thousands more would be suffering.

Fundraising efforts were ongoing throughout 2024. Felix Paterson, Rose's eldest son, completed a 48mile run in 48hours, raising approximately £25,000 and greatly increasing suicide awareness. During 2024, Ned Paterson, Rose's younger son, completed an incredible 11mile swim raising £50,000, very much keeping the spotlight on the important issue of suicide prevention. The Trust widely promoted Ned's mission with our supporters and across social media channels.

Other activities throughout 2024 included the promotion of the grantee results, with the incredible outcomes shared widely across multiple platforms. The Trust also hosted several events, which included an auction and several private dinners. We are very grateful to our hosts, offering your time and effort to help advance our crucial work. The Trustees would also like to share a special thanks to Matt Ridley, Rose's brother, for providing a wonderful dinner with friends and stakeholders, many of whom went on to support the Trust with generous donations.

Plans are in place for further fundraising activity throughout 2025, particularly focusing on the publication of the 2024 results. The Trustees are committed to keep spreading the fantastic work of our grantees, keep supporting the sector, and keep promoting the Trust's mission to prevent suicide.

Public benefit

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and when planning for future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievements and performance

Charitable activities

During the year, donations were received of £291,414. The trustees consider that the overall result for the period is in line with expectations.

Financial review

Financial position

The charity relies on donations, investment income, and bank interest for income. The Statement of Financial Activities is set out on page 11. Total incoming resources for the period amounted to £304,103 (2023: £210,983). After administrative expenses and charitable expenditure of £311,579 (2023: £248,506) and a loss on investments of £20,715, (2023 £39,040) the net deficit for the period amounted to £28,191 (2023 £76,563). Reserves at 31 December 2024 total £452,931 (2023: £481,122).

The trustees have appointed investment management company Ruffer LLP ( Weatherbys post year-end) to acquire and dispose of investments, as the trustees require. The investments are held to generate income which is to be applied to meet the charity's objects.

The trustees have weighed up the cash requirements of the Trust for the next 12 months prior to making investments. They have adopted a policy of holding a minimum of £40,000 as cash at bank to cover annual running costs plus budgeted amounts to be distributed as part of its grant making strategy.

Investment policy and objectives

The Rose Paterson Trust's investment policy is to preserve the capital value of funds which have been retained for future distribution. The Trustees have appointed Weatherbys to manage investments on behalf of the Trust on a discretionary basis, transferring management from Ruffer LLP (March 2025). This mandate prioritises capital preservation. A secondary objective is capital growth to maintain the real value of investments and, where suitable, increase the capital available for future distributions.

The overall attitude toward investment risk is medium to low, best described as balanced to cautious. Invested funds are designated for future grants, therefore the Trustees will not take unnecessary capital risk. Decisions will be made in accordance with professional guidance, which will consider the mandate and requirements of the Trust and the prevailing market conditions. All investments held are diversified to mitigate specific risk.

Future plans

Looking ahead to 2025 the Trustees are focused on keeping the momentum of The Rose Paterson Trust. For three consecutive years the Trust has delivered successful grant programmes, and this will continue into the fourth year. Relationships with grantees are strong, with several grantees now multiyear partners with the Trust in the fight against suicide. The CSJ Foundation continues to manage the Trust on behalf of Trustees, with Chairman Owen Paterson visiting and spending time with our grantees on an ongoing basis.

The Trustees are immensely proud of all grantees over the several years of grant making. The Paterson Family are committed to maintain the presence and delivery of the Trust, furthering the support directed toward small, frontline charity champions. The problem of suicide remains entrenched, and there is plenty more to be done in the fight against suicide. Many lives have been saved, but there are many people still lost, and the lives of loved ones blighted, by this tragedy.

As with previous years, the Trust will longlist brilliant charities and conduct an invitation only application process. Many of these will include our existing grantees, with interviews used to determine suitability relative to the Trust's resources, with funding decisions taking place towards the end of 2025. Grants will continue to be made on an unrestricted basis, unless in exceptional circumstances. The only criteria placed on grantees will be to focus on suicide prevention work and to complete a Progress Report once a six-month period has been completed.

To all of our supporters and donors, to all of our past grantees, to all of our grantees currently in receipt of funding, and to all of the exceptional projects, charities, and people combatting suicide across the UK; thank you from The Rose Paterson Trust. To anyone struggling with suicide ideation and mental health problems, know you are not alone and help is out there.

The Trust's mission is to support organisations and individuals combatting the suicide epidemic. The Trustees have always said, if we can help save just one family from the tragedy of suicide, this initiative will have been worth it. We believe we are achieving our mission, and we look forward to continuing this mission for many years to come.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity was established by a Memorandum and Articles incorporated 21 December 2020 as amended by certificate of incorporation on change of name dated 05 February 2021. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission, number 1193191. The charity constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Founding members have the power to appoint new trustees and to remove and replace trustees. Trustees who are not founding members are appointed for a fixed term and retire at the end of that term unless re-appointed by the founding members. A new trustee or trustees may be appointed at any time but so that the total number of trustees shall at no time exceed seven. Any new trustee or trustees would be appointed by reference to their abilities to operate a charity of this nature and the existing trustees would ensure at all times that they were thus competent.

The charity is operated by its board of Trustees who are responsible for all decisions undertaken.

Decision making

The board of trustees meets four times yearly to administer the charity. The charity's management, finances, and operations are supported by the CSJ Foundation (company number 13382551).

Risk management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The Trustees have assessed the risks to which the charity is or may be exposed, particularly those which relate to the operations and financing of the charity. They are satisfied that the existing systems which are in place to protect against risk are adequate to mitigate the charity's exposure, if any. Such systems are reviewed at least annually.

Operational risk is managed through the Charity's management service. The services provided by the CSJ Foundation are robust and in accordance with their internal procedures. Research and due diligence regarding potential grantees is thorough, as is the handling of all financial information and efforts to identify any irregularities or potential fraud.

Investment risk is managed through the appointed investment company. The services provided by Ruffer LLP are professional and fully regulated. The mandate (as discussed in 'Investment Policy') prioritises capital preservation alongside growth opportunities. The level of risk is best described as 'balanced to cautious' and underlying investments are fully diversified. The Trustees will continue to follow professional guidance with respect to any investment decisions.

The principal risk faced by the Trustees concerns a decrease in funds raised from fundraising activities. Fundraising strategy and the long-term sustainability of the Charity is regularly discussed. A range of activities are used to maximise donation-based income each year. The Trustees consider the risk of reduced income to be sufficiently managed.

The charitable company is entitled to exemption from audit under Section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for

(a)	ensuring that the charitable company keeps accounting records that comply with Sections 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and

(b)

preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the end of each financial year and of its surplus or deficit for each financial year in accordance with the requirements of Sections 394 and 395 and which otherwise comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 relating to financial statements, so far as applicable to the charitable company.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to charitable companies subject to the small companies regime.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees and authorised for issue on 25 September 2025 and were signed on its behalf by:

F C Paterson - Trustee

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and

settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of

performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the

control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Donated services are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

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 grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they

will receive the one-year or multi-year grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling

performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any

remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the charity.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the

recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES

Expenditure on charitable activities includes governance costs and an apportionment

of support costs.

ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake

charitable activities. Support costs include administration, finance and governance costs which support the charity's activities. The basis on which support costs have been allocated is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

DEBTORS

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount

offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short

maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar

account.

CREDITORS

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial

instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the Balance Sheet date using the market value. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations throughout the year.

SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The following judgments have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

- Apportionment of support and governance costs across raising funds and charitable activities (grant making).

The Charity initially identifies the costs of its support functions. It then identifies those costs which relate to the governance function. Having identified its governance costs, the remaining support costs together with the governance costs are apportioned between the activities undertaken. In the year to 31 December 2024, which was the third year of the charity's operations, the focus was split evenly between raising funds to support the charity's activities and the programme of grant making that was underway.
