It is learly understood that Armed Fores hildren who experiene frequent moving of home, shool and ommunities do not perform as well in shools as non-armed Fores hildren. Mobility, deployment or absene of a serving parent, whih an often be for long periods at a time, an lead to under ahievement at shool. There are exeptions, but many of the families that we support are experiening finanial hardship. Many of those that the Trust helps are living in some of the most deprived ommunities in Sotland and /or living with post-traumati stress disorder, disability or other health issues leaving family members unable to work following ative servie. The Trust has two major areas of ativity: 1. We urrently make between 250 and 300 individual grants a year to the hildren of Sots who are serving or have served in the Armed Fores. 2. We also work through our Eduation Programme in Sotland with shools, loal authorities, Armed Fores harities and the military and military ommunities on initiatives to support Armed Fores hildren, their teahers and their families in the shool environment, espeially in relation to hildren's emotional well-being.

Two grants were made to individual shools in Sotland, both in the Edinburgh area.

The other shool reeived a transitional grant allowing the ontinued employment of a play therapist who has been working with those Armed Fores pupils enrolled at the shool and having issues that affet their performane at shool. The transitional grant provided the shool with time to seek longer term funding for the play therapist role.

C1 Review of inome The Trust is not finanially dependent on any speifi individual or orporation as its inome is primarily derived from its investment portfolios. The balane of inome omes from donations and grants from a wide range of individuals, Sottish lubs and soieties, trusts and orporations. During 2014 the Trust was also re-imbursed by the Assoiation of Diretors of Eduation in Sotland (ADES) for the salary and expenses of the Trust's Eduation Programme Manager who was seonded to that organisation in the year.

The estimated ommitment for grants awarded rose from 377,492 at 31July2013 to 475,931 at 31 July 2014 resulted in a hange to the Statement of Finanial Ativities in the year.
