## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and Activities, achievements and performance**
London Historic Parks and Gardens, commonly known as London Parks and Gardens, believes everyone should be able to access and appreciate London’s historic green spaces. We help achieve this by protecting our green capital and informing the public of the tremendous history attached to London’s gardens and parks. This mission directly connects to the founding charitable objects of the London Historic Parks & Gardens Trust (the Charity)
## **2025 TO 2035 STRATEGY**
In 2024, we created a new Strategy for 2025 to take us through to 2035.
## **Our Vision**
Green spaces have always made London liveable. Our vision is that green spaces in London, old and new, can be enjoyed by everyone and are protected.
## **Our Mission**
To ensure London’s green spaces are protected, so everyone can enjoy them.
This new strategy mirrors our founding charitable objects but applies them to the new challenges posed by the societal, climate, and economic conditions of our times.
Using the lens of our **Vision** and **Mission** , we worked through all our work strands to ensure they deliver our goals through our **Theory of Change** .
## **Theory of Change**
We believe the best means of achieving our mission is to build sufficient active public support for our vision; in effect, a mobilised public pushing for our vision.
We believe The best means of achieving our mission is to mobilise the public to support our vision, we will be better equipped to help minimise any loss of London’s green spaces and maximise the public’s opportunities to enjoy them.
We believe we can deliver this theory of change _if_ we also achieve six real world outcomes, namely:
1. Enough people form an emotional connection to or vision and as a result feel motivated to amplify our mission and help us gain greater protection.
2. Enough people are persuaded of the value of our vision.
3. Enough people trust us as a credible actor and enjoy working with us.
4. Enough people either as individuals or as communities feel and are empowered to act for our cause.
5. Enough other partners share our vision and amplify our message.
6. We apply the lessons learnt by others in various sectors about how to build an impactful public movement.
We have three main work strands, which are:
1. Events and activities
2. Planning 3. Research
## **LONDON HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS TRUST**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
All of our work across these three strands is supported by volunteers and our small team of three staff on part-time contracts, and a variety of contractors.
Funding comes from our events and activities, grants, legacies, and supporter donations.
## **2024 Delivery**
In 2024, we ran our established annual event, **London Open Gardens** [LOG], across the first full weekend of June. The event emphasises the indispensable social, cultural, and emotional value of green space, alongside its more widely promoted values for biodiversity, climate mitigation, and public health.
LOG gives access to more than a hundred gardens or green spaces in central London not normally accessible to the public. Affluent garden and culture lovers from the UK and beyond gather to explore hidden gems, relax, and socialize. All proceeds support London Parks and Gardens’ charity work, with profits benefiting community gardens.
In 2024, 43,000 people visited participating gardens over the weekend. Exit surveys show guests feel more confident visiting London, with **70%** seeing the city as more positive and inclusive as a result of their experience with us.
The event was supported and advertised by partner organisations such as the Royal Horticultural Society and Gardens Illustrated magazine, and the listings publication TimeOut.
LOG24 brought in almost £130,000.
We also run an annual **Winter Season lecture series** of six presentations delivered from October through to March. In 2024, we secured a new venue for “in-person” presentations at the Garden Museum in Lambeth, having previously used the basement gallery at Cowcross Street in Shoreditch. This move enabled us to “livecast” the presentations to online subscribers. We had three “in-person” events and three “on-line only” events all shared via Zoom.
The Lecture series brought in a profit a little over **£** 4,100.
Our **Planning and Conservation** work continued to be funded through a Historic England Grant, enabling us to employ a part-time member of staff to respond to planning applications impacting Grade II Heritage listed sites. This work is coordinated with the Gardens Trust, a statutory planning body, which covers Grade I and Grade II* listed sites. This staff member also coordinates our team of planning volunteers who help review and check planning applications with us to protect historic parks and gardens.
## **LONDON HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS TRUST**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
Our Planning Officer resigned mid-year, and it took us a few months to secure a new team member. This meant we struggled to maintain our planning casework for the last half of 2024. We negotiated an extension to the Historic England delivery timeframe to ensure we meet the agreed terms and conditions of the grant agreement.
Our volunteer **researchers** continued to feed into our **Inventory** of the history, people, and cultures of London’s green spaces. This freely accessible online resource informs our activities by providing a range of engaging stories and historic facts; which we can also call upon when responding to planning enquiries.
Todd Longtaffe-Gowan, LPG’s President, assisted by long-term volunteer Sally Williams, edited the 28th edition of the Charity’s annual journal, The London Gardener. This is made possible through the generosity of donors.
Publication of London Landscapes, LPG’s published magazine for subscribers, ceased at the end of 2024 following the loss of its volunteer Editor and a decline in advertising revenue. This combination meant it was no longer viable to continue production. Subscribers and volunteers continue to receive regular updates through emailed newsletters.
2024 also saw some major changes in the staff and board. Our first paid staff member, Director Helen Monger stood down to pursue new ambitions after successfully delivering LOG24. Former board member Tim Webb has stepped in to the role. Chair Sharon Turner, took-up a new full-time paid role in Europe so relinquished her position as she felt unable to give it the focus it requires. Vice chair Nathan Oley took up the Chair role at the end of 2024. Work pressures also increased for Treasurer Natasha Dos Passos and her role is now being covered on an interim basis by Trustee Cosmo Elms.
This churn in Trustees sparked a skills audit and fresh recruitment drive for new Trustees with more focus on expectations and responsibilities to address the workload issues cited; ensuring better retention and engagement going forwards.
London Parks and Gardens financial reserves are unusually healthy. A large proportion of this money is to revitalise our website and improve our digital offer. The process is proving complex, so delivery has been delayed while we thoroughly assess our options to ensure change delivers a future proofed system able to sustain growth and simplify many administrative tasks while presenting a more user-friendly interface with the charity.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LONDON HISTORIC PARKS AND GARDENS TRUST**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of London Historic Parks and Gardens Trust ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
