2. The advancement of education;

3. The advancement of health (including the prevention or relief of sickness, disease or human suffering);

The charity plans to achieve this by working with the communities attached to the coffee-growing co-operatives in Rwanda - a country whose people and amazing spirit greatly moved David when he visited there in 2007 - to alleviate poverty and assist in the improvement of health and welfare.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

On 9th March 2009 The David Williamson Rwanda Foundation (DWRF) was incorporated. The charity came into existence as a memorial to the life of David Williamson, owner and Managing Director of Glasgow-based coffee roasters, Matthew Algie.

The directors maintained its social media campaign maintaining links with stakeholders supporting the DWRF mission in Rwanda.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources have been via voluntary donations and it is expected that this will continue to be the charities main form of future income.

For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Unrestricted funds represent the free resources of the charity and are available to be used as the directors decide in pursuance of the stated aims and objectives of the charity. The charity recognises the need to have reserves which will enable it to cope with unexpected fluctuations in income and expenditure and to take advantage at short notice of development opportunities that might otherwise cause cash flow problems. It is therefore the policy of the charity to work towards increasing unrestricted reserves to have such amounts as are necessary to cover anticipated, planned or possible expenditure.

FUTURE PLANS

A review of strategy was concluded during the year, and the organisation was renamed as the David Williamson Foundation. This change underpinned the strategic change to support projects locally in Scotland while maintaining alignment with the Company's objectives which remain unchanged. The priorities for the future include raising the profile of the charity via the charity's website, carrying out further fundraising events and utilising the funds raised to meet the aims and objectives of the charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The appointment of directors is carried out in accordance with the procedures laid down in the memorandum and articles of association of the charity. The number of directors shall be not less than three and not subject to any maximum number. Directors must submit themselves for appointment every 3 years with the exceptions of M Williamson. Directors, with the exception of M Williamson, may serve for two consecutive three year terms, if re-appointed, and are not then eligible for re-appointment as a director for a period of one year.

Induction and training of new trustees

All new directors are inducted into the charity by way of a board meeting. Only indivduals who are considered to have adequate experience, knowledge and understanding of the charities objectives and aims are eligible to act as directors.

E W Reid - Trustee

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of

David Williamson Foundation

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages five to ten.

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 :

(1) | which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements

- | to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and

- | to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations

have not been met; or

(2) | to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
