Sadly, I have to repeat what I said last year a￿ut the general baCkgr￿nd. The in the Ukraine continues. The dreadful events in the near east that w￿re triggered Octotkar 7th last year have split vL)rld opinion and are shaking previously firm alliances. There are a record numÈer of electi(MS CLYning up this year that may lead to imFQrtant changes in p)licy. Oddly. the stock markets have discounted this barrage of F()litical uncertainty. Last year's economic nevts was the sharp rise in inflation. So far in the current year, inflation y￿rldWIde has teen cc¥ning dovm. Central banks seem to be Laming the Lra5t withwt driving econcxnies into recession. This Is good for the Trust, LEing a capital fund that ha5 substantially recovered the value lost in 2022. One wonikrs vthether it will last. We will focus on Investment for the long tenn t￿)Ugh the ride may te rocky. The Cathedral has risen to the chaltenge of difficult finances by a combination of careful cost management and increased activity to bring in new people. A first was staging of a Passion Play in Lent. It VRS staged by The Revd Canon James Pacey, the relatively recently appointed can¢￿ ChancelLc<. The Dean played Annas. a challenging role given Annas. antipathy towards Jesus. There is c(￿Stant activity there and there will be renev￿d focus on taking that the Cathedral does so well out of the building and into ￿ Di(Kese and bey￿d. What we do is world class and the Y￿r1d must have acce55. The choir is a v40nder. They recently Ferfonned Bach's Christmas Oratorfo and the St. John Passion quite SUFerbly. The carol services vEre packed. They continue to do the daily round of moming and evening seNices. The number of girls in the choir growing and ￿￿ are all thrilled that we have taken this step. The organ, my particular passion, never emits a wrong note. Recruitment for the choir is a challenge. Financial constraints have meant that the bursary that can offered has had to be cut. Thls means that recwitment is [￿t as inde￿ndent of parental ￿an$ as V￿ hvuld like. We V+ill need to at least double the SI￿ of the Trust's capital to make a difference to this problem. Last year, I said that we were revwAing the split in resp(￿sibility for fund raising betwEen the Trust and Chapter. A Head of Development - Emma l*laggs - and a Bid-writer - Julia Smith - have been recruited. They are working very closely with Georgina Miller, Executive Director of the Trust who stepFed into Glyn hb)rgan's shoes. They are all working together both to raise funds for immediate use by Chapter reporting to the Dean. and long-temi funds for the Trust with a dotted reportinq line to the Trust's chair. The Trust wlll f¢xu5 on its Charitable Objectives as emihxlled fn its name "Per￿tual, These are set clearly in the Trustee rep)rt. Much of tlxk grant is made unrestricted so that the Chapter may use it to fund the general running of the Cathedral. Some of the grant is made specifically to support the music and, ￿parateLY, the education wogramnE. The ultimate goal is to create a fund large enough to provide investment income that vKxJld cover the cost of the v￿nderful music and education programmes so guarantee their future in perpetuity. This V￿ULd release other funds within Chapter to cover the general running expenses. Tuming to the FtrformatKe during the year, the foliowTng ts￿e S￿nManSes the financial perf0m￿nCe of the Trust.

Page 4 The Hereford catI￿dra1 Per tual Trust rt of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 OPERATIONS The Trust fulfils its charitable objective by the wovisicfft of funding and services to the Cathedral Chapter. The Cathedral Chapter is the Legal entity vthich own and are restxmsibie the Cathedral and aSS￿lated proFerties. Their charitable objective is to prcÉlaim the Gospel of Christ in t￿ City and Diocese of Hereford and in the wider V￿r1d, by serving and inspiring all those who enc￿nter the Cathedral and its community. The Trust provides funding and *rvices in following ways: The TTUSt is building a long-term investment fund {the-Capital Fund) income frcffi which will provide a stable income to the Trust. This wll contribjte to a reVenl￿ surplu5 that can k granted to the Cathedral Chapter. Additions to tIR% Capital Fund c(Mne mainly from legacies and gifts. The exact nature of the Capital Fund will deF*nd on the wishes of the donor. For example, tFpy may wish their g'ft to l)e u*d for a srecific purFo*. They may wish the gift to be treated as an endov4Tnent. The Trust is flexible to accc4nmodate a ￿￿de range of donor requirements as long as it can (k) so efficiently. The Trust is very grateful to its regular donors. It seeks to increase the numter of and ensure that donors are properly Infomed on how tIKklr d￿atIOn is used and feel part of the cad￿dra1 community. The Trust holds events to raise rn￿eY for the revenue accounL It also provides assistantr to Chapter for its own fundraising. The Trust also helps to raise the profile of the Catl*draL and its works to the wider community, both nationally and internationally. As a result. Hereford cat￿dra[ has suprKrters all around the world. The Trust provides other assistan￿ to Chapter including SUFV)rting project developrnent, crafting projects suitable for extemal funding and in prc¥noting the Chapterfs activities and own programrnes through Out of the Cloisters. The Trust continues to maintain close relations with other cathedrals, nati(￿al btsjies involved in the management of cathedrals, heritage organisalion, governnEnl, Vlhltehall and various Royal Households. The Trust, in partnership with Chapter, agrees an annual funding plan. This includes revenue support of the Choral Foundation and Education Department, along with unrestrKted funding in supFK>rt of staff and core revenue costs, with the goal of maintaining, if not increasing, this SUFP)rt in the future. The Trust also finds funding for Cathedral events. In general. these will be smaller sum5 {iess than £10,1)Xi) and the entlre sum, other than clearly identifiable costs, is passed onto the Chapter. Such a case is the grant from the W A Cadt￿Jry Charitable Trust in suptyjrt of the annual Holy Week perfonnance of one of J S Bach's Passions, though in 2023 this independent grant was incorF(Jrated into the main choral grant viith an expEctation of a Holy Week 2023 perforniance or an appropriate variati(m deFEnding on the then regulations.
