What the accounts disclose
“During the year, the Trust received a gift of shares from a close family member of the Trustees. The value of these shares was ENil (2024: £52,159). As the trustees have the power to spend the income in accordance with the Trust's charitable objectives, this has been accounted for as an expendable endowment fund.” — page 15
