NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 
1 March 2023 
North Ayrshire Council 
Title:    Revenue Estimates 2023/24 – Common Good Funds and
Trusts 
Purpose:  To advise Council of the anticipated annual income and
expenditure of the Common Good Funds and Trusts
administered by North Ayrshire Council and seek approval for
the level of funding to be made available for disbursement
during 2023/24. 
Recommendation:  That Council: 
(a) approves the 2023/24 revenue estimates for the Common
Good Funds and registered Charitable Trusts detailed in
Appendix 1; 
(b)  approves the carry forward of funds from Irvine Common
Good Fund to meet the costs of essential works required at
Seagate Castle, as noted at paragraph 2.2; 
(c)  approves the amounts available for disbursement noted at
paragraphs 2.12 and 2.13;
(d)  agrees to capital spend from the dormant and low value
Trusts and the Irvine, Largs and Saltcoats Common Good
Funds, and instructs officers to seek approval from the Office
of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) prior to the
disbursement of any grant which would result in the winding
up of a Trust;
(e) notes that OSCR has approved changes to the constitutions
and trustees’ powers for the James Dyer Simpson Fund, H
Watt Trust  and J H Watt Trust, held within North Ayrshire
Charitable Trust, to allow the disbursement of the remaining
capital and the winding up of the Trusts, where this is
considered the most appropriate way of achieving the Trusts’
purposes; and 
(f) confirm that the remaining capital in the James Dyer Simpson
Fund, H Watt Trust  and J H Watt Trust should now be
disbursed for the Trusts’ purposes and approve the winding
up of these 3 Trusts once all funds have been expended.

1. Executive Summary 
1.1 The Council is the custodian of the Common Good Funds for the former burghs of
Ardrossan, Irvine, Largs, Millport, Saltcoats and Stevenston and a number of
charitable Trusts, which are largely composed of bequests made many years ago. 
1.2 This report provides Members with an overview of the financial position of each
Common Good Fund and Charitable Trust and recommends the level of expenditure
which can be disbursed from each for 2023/24. 
1.3 Following delays in previous financial years, previously approved essential works at
Seagate Castle have not yet been completed and Council is asked to approve the
carry forward of this budget to allow the completion of these works during 2023/24.
Should cost projections exceed estimates, a further report will be presented to
Council. 
1.4 The Common Good Funds and Trusts make annual disbursements of grants to
groups and individuals. The level of funding available for these grants is normally set
at the net annual income of each Fund or Trust after meeting their expenditure
commitments. Where the expenditure commitments exceed the annual income, the
recommended budget for grant disbursement reflects the level of disbursements in
previous years. 
1.5 In order to encourage the utilisation of funds across communities, in particular where
the Trusts have been dormant or have low levels of income, it is recommended that,
with the exception of those Trusts with significant balances, the full balance of the
Trusts are approved as available for disbursement. Any disbursement which utilises
the full capital balance will result in closure and will require the approval of OSCR.
During 2023/24, the funds within Douglas Sellers Trust and Anderson Park Trust will
be exhausted. Approval will be sought from OSCR for the disbursement of any
remaining capital and winding up of these Trusts. 
1.6   Following proposals submitted by North Ayrshire Council, OSCR has approved
amendments to the constitution of and/or the trustees’ powers in relation to the James
Dyer Simpson Fund, H Watt Trust and J H Watt Trust, held within the North Ayrshire
Charitable Trust. These amendments will allow the disbursement of the remaining
capital, where this is considered the most appropriate way of achieving the Trusts’
purposes, and the winding up of the trusts fund, with the approval of OSCR. 
2. Background 
Common Good Funds 
2.1 The Council is the custodian of the Common Good Funds for the former burghs of
Ardrossan, Irvine, Largs, Millport, Saltcoats and Stevenston. The purpose of the
Common Good Funds is to benefit the general population within the defined areas of
each of their respective towns.

2.2 At its meeting on 5 March 2020, Council approved the allocation of £0.250m from
Irvine Common Good Fund to meet the costs of urgent and essential works required
at Seagate Castle. Following delays in the completion of these works during previous
financial years, Council is asked to approve the carry forward of the £0.210m balance
to allow the completion of the works during 2023/24. As noted in the previous report to
Council, working on a structure as historic as this may flag up further works which
may need to be addressed at the same time. Should cost projections exceed
estimates, a further report will be presented to Council. 
2.3 The Common Good Funds make annual disbursements to groups and individuals
based on approved criteria. The levels of grant available for disbursement is
determined after all expenditure commitments and projected income from assets has
been assessed. Current practice has been for the remaining surplus to be made
available for trustees to disburse, ensuring that capital balances are left intact, with
the disbursement of funds from the capital balance requiring Council approval. It is
recommended that this practice continues for those Common Good Funds with
sufficient net income. 
2.4 In the case of Irvine, Largs and Saltcoats Common Good Funds the level of
expenditure exceeds the level of income. In order to maximise the benefits to the
community, it is proposed that the budgets for grant disbursement are set at a level
which reflects previous years’ disbursements, with a minimum level for each of
£1,000. 
Charitable Trusts 
2.5 The Council also administers a number of Trusts which are largely composed of
bequests made many years ago. Of these Trusts, there are only two which accrue
significant levels of income; the Spier’s Trust and the Margaret Archibald Trust. The
Spier's Trust was founded in 1936 for the administration of Spier's School, Beith and
for the provision of certain educational grants and bursaries with the local area of
benefit comprising the parishes of Beith, Dalry, Dunlop, Kilbirnie, Lochwinnoch and
Neilston. The purpose of the Margaret Archibald Trust is "to apply the capital and
income from time to time, at the discretion of the Council, for the charitable purpose of
persons in need who have attained sixty five years of age, living in the Parish of Dalry,
Ayrshire". 
2.6 The remaining Trusts comprise four town Trusts, covering Dalry, Kilbirnie &
Glengarnock, Kilwinning and Largs, which provide assistance to persons in need
within the defined area of each fund; the North Ayrshire Council Trust, which
incorporates a further seven smaller funds; two minor Trusts and a number of sundry
bequests listed on Appendix 2.

2.7  Historically a number of Trusts have experienced periods of dormancy where no
grants have been disbursed. OSCR is keen that charities fulfil their charitable
purposes and the Council’s external auditors have previously expressed concern
about continued lack of activity in these Trusts. If no other action is taken, the annual
external audit fee and administrative charges will eventually exhaust these Trusts. As
such, the utilisation of available funds through a particular project which complies with
the Trust’s purposes should be considered. It is, therefore, recommended that, with
the exception of those Trusts with significant balances, the full balances of the town
and minor Trusts are made available for disbursement. It should be noted that any
disbursement which would result in the winding up of a registered Trust must be
approved by OSCR before the relevant Locality Partnership agrees the grant. For
those Trusts with significant balances, it is proposed that the budgets for grant
disbursement are set at a level which reflects previous years’ disbursements. 
2.8  During 2023/24, the funds within Douglas Sellers Trust and Anderson Park Trust will
be exhausted. Approval will be sought from OSCR for the disbursement of the
remaining capital and winding up of these Trusts. 
2.9 As previously reported to Council in March 2021, it had been identified that some of
the smaller Trusts have constitutions and trustees’ powers which limit the utilisation of
the capital held by Trusts and their subsequent winding up. The Trusts in question
form part of the North Ayrshire Charitable Trust, including: 
• the James Dyer Simpson Fund, current balance £195.86 (21/22: £196.60); 
• the H Watt Trust, current balance £14.51 (21/22: £14.49); and 
• the J H Watt Trust, current balance £1,080.94 (21/22: £1,111.48). 
2.10 Following approval by Council, proposals to amend the constitutions and trustees’
powers in relation to these Trusts were submitted to OSCR for approval. OSCR has
approved the proposed amendments and the Council’s Legal Services team have
now amended the trust deeds. 
2.11 In order to use the balance of these 3 Trusts in an effective manner, the Trustees are
asked to approve expenditure of the remaining funds, including the capital, for the
Trust purposes of each fund and the winding up of these 3 Trusts.

2.12 The following table summarises the anticipated income and expenditure for each
Common Good Fund and Trusts and the proposed budget for grant disbursement for
each: 
2.13 The remaining smaller trusts administered by the Council are listed in Appendix 2.
Projected income for 2023/24 is £325 and during 2022/23 thus far there have been no
disbursements. Therefore, the full balance 0f £13,383 is available for disbursement
during 2023/24.
