We help achieve this by protecting our green capital and informing the public of the tremendou5 history attached to London's gardens and park5. This rn1s5ion directly connects to the founding charitable objects of the Lond( Historic Parks & Gardens Tnjst (the Charity) In 2019 the Charity launched a new Strategic Direction for the following 3 to 5 years. During Covid, the Charity took the opportunity to rebrand itself for trading purwses a5 London Park5 & Gardens, as this is easier for x)cial media with a shorter acronym and where all characters used count. Charity at the same tin developed a strapline 'Protecting our Green Capital. to reflect it5 core charitable purkK>5e. Three airns for the Charity WTth impact measures were Set out in the StrategTC DTrectTon. For the fi.rst time the Charity, used quantifiable outputs to denThJnstrate the activity undertaken. 2023 is the last year of this framework and a review of Strategy and how the Charity will measure its outcomes 15 now underway. In the meantime, in 2023 LPG achieved the following: c1Mplon by influencing through robust research, revealing their 5isnificance, our unique planning role and media presence,. to help protect them from threats ond decline.

Our Winter lecture series delivered 9 talks on a wide variety of topics. Two of the lectures were hybrid (simultaneously online and in person) held at Francis Holland School, Sloane Square, and the remaining ones online- leading to sales of over 650 tickets for the whole season. We added 5 new sites to the LPG Inventory htt 5.. 1 Ilondon ardenstru5t.or Iconservationlinvento /), through original archival research and a further 89 Inventory records were updated.

Membership Arrangements In September 2022 LPG launched a new rrembership programme. with three tr.ers of conth"bution: Supporter. Friend or Benefactor. During 2023, the Charity transitioned as many members from their old membership types to their new membership leve15. LPG was assisted in this task until March 2023 by a Membership and Fundraising contractor who had been recruited as part of the National Heritage Lottery Fund {NLHFI Resilience project. Although that project completed in 2022 we chose to keep the contractor on until March 2023 to complete the work.
LONDON HisfoRIC PARKS AND GARDENS TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 During the course of 2023. Charity was delighted to welcorre 12 Benefactors giving at least £250 each, for the first time. LPG also Iked at ways behind the scenes to tTMwe the record keeping to a new system and preparations were made to transfer records and rnake online direct debit VIng easier for members With a view to that happening early in 2024, freeing the Office MAnager to SUPFX)rt other vital administration worf(, including volunteer coordination. Adrninistration There ha5 been a lot of change thi5 year. The office asststant left in early March. The team of Staff comprised the Director, an Office Manager {from end of February), an Events Assistant Ifrom end of February until end of July). and a Landscape Engagement Planning Coordinator Ifrorn March) wst funded through an Historic England Capacity Grant. An interim Communications contractor was brought in to cover the period from October to December providing e- new51etters and Social media output, and in Decernber a new Marketing and Fundraising As515tant was brought in. Thi5 averaged a full time equivalent of 2.4 people over the year. An Events Producer and PR contractor were also commi55ioned separately to 5UPPOrt London Open Garden5 (L(} weekend. Crucial volunteers continue to tK)Ister all the administration work, in particular. volunteer IT manager, Colin Wing, SUPFX)rted regularly by Frank warnk. and LPG'S volunteer KeeFtr of the Inventory, Sally Williams, who oversees ongoing maintenance of our Inventory and inputting into GLHER. LPG Director, Helen Monger, secured an invaluable grant-funded training programme through the School of Social Enterprise. With their assistance she was taken through the steps involved in thinking in a nK)re sustainable way about running the Charity and was able to successfully launch 2 raffles with varied marketing to rrL)nitor different approaches. The raffles brought in much needed additional contributions to the LPG administrative budget. London Open Gardens. Outreach. research and publications London Open Gardens pr(Keeded in 2023 without a SFK>nsor in place which represented a risk for the Charity. A5 a result LPG paired back the tmjdget and fortunately the weather over the weekend was hot and dry resulting in good ticket sales from April and particularly in the week leading up to the celebratory weekend. As a result the endeavour delivered a helpful profit for LPG to wt back to its charitable work. However, wth the loss of a lead sponsor to underpin the funds. LPG was sadly not able to pass back as much to gardens compared to 2022. Trustees hoped to secure a sp)nsor for London Open Gardens 2024 but had not been able to achieve this by the end of the year- this is an area of work under review. The Research Working Group, led by volunteer Richard Cattwell continued to wEet quarterly during 2023 to pursue research work, supported by Joan Pateman as volunteer Secretary of the group. Committed volunteer, Barbara Deason is leading the ongoing project about the influence of migration on London's landscaFes. However, the group has struggled to regain its pr&pandemic momentum, although LPG is grateful for the assistance from The Gardens Trust ITGT} Volunteer Coordinator, Frankn"e Taylor. helping to approach UCL students in ' Fre5her's week, to give them a training programme in garden history research with a wew to their longer-term involvement. Todd Longtaff&Gowan, assisted by Sally Williams, edited the 27th edition of the Charity's annual journal, The London Gardener made possible through the generosity of Nicholas and Judith G(x)di50n's Charitable Settlement. London Landscapes, LPG'S published members. magane, continued to be edited by volunteer Rachel Huckvale. It is published three times a year with design and distribution handled by Hall-mccartney. Planning and Conservation LPG advised and commented on planning and listed tIlding applications affecting historic parks and gardens, using information contained in the Trust's Inventory, in conjunction with TGT'S weekly list. LPG was notified of 3441249 in 20221 planning applications for proFK)sals going to planning in 32 London Boroughs129 in 20221 for a variety of purposes, including Local Plan Consultations. In March 2023, LPG succesfully recruited for a Landscat* Engagement Planning CcNJrdinator- a revised role funded with the assistance of Historic England. In December 2023, TGT announced due to a radical rewew of their funding that they would be stopping their regular lists and mving to a system operated by the Joint Committee for National Arrnity knieties IJCNASI. This resulted in LPG experimenting with a new volunteer 'seeker' role and uncovered a significant number of cases that were not being notified to either
