Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Appointment of trustees

The appointment of trustees is governed by provisions contained within the company's Articles of Association. These are as follows:
(i) At each annual general meeting one third of the members of the Board of Trustees must retire and, if desired, stand for re -
election. The trustees to retire are those longest in office since their last election.
(ii) The company, at the annual general meeting, may fill the positions vacated by the retiring trustees by electing any persons
thereto, or by re - electing the retiring members.
(iii) The Board of Trustees has the power to appoint any person to be a trustee either to fill a casual vacancy or in order to increase
the number of trustees. Any trustee appointed in this way must retire at the following annual general meeting and stand for re -
election, if desired, at that meeting.
(iv) Any member of the company, qualified to attend and vote at the annual general meeting, is entitled to propose the appointment of
a person to act as a trustee.
Trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are required to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the
company as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that year. In preparing those accounts the
trustees are required to:
a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c) follow applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that this basis applies. The
trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial
position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with all relevant legislation. They are also responsible
for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities

The report was prepared in accordance with the special provisions within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 24/11/2025
