March 2023. OBJECtIVES ANDAcnvmES Following her death on 4th February 2003. Mrs Ella Chewett left Reveley Lodge together with its contents, properties. consisting of cottages and a field (the Paddock), and also investments to the Bushey Museum Trust. The trustees of the Bushey Museum Trust decided that it would te most appropriate to establish a separate and independent trust. the Bushey Museum PropertyTrust Limited, to hold all the assets as the expertise QUIred to run a museum was not necessarily the same as that required in the restorètion and operation of an historic property and garden. The property was registered in the name of the BLsshey Museum Property Trust Limited in April 21J)4 with the Trustrs objective being to safe8uard and maintain the house and gardens so that it may be used as an art and educational resource in Busheyforthe trnefit3nd enjoymentof the local community and beyond in line with the wishes of Mrs Chewett and to encourage and enhance the activities of the Bushey Museum. The Trust was renamed the Reveley Lge Trust in December 2017 and the Memorandum of Association updated. In preparingthis reportdue reeard has been given to the guidance published bythe Charity Commission in regard to public benefit. ACHIEVEMEprf5 AND PERFORMANCE In effect, 2022123 was a ar of much PreParat)n but with completion and resolution to follow in 23124. As in 2V22. we had a goryj year in terms of serving the community in charitsble activities, but financially, although we made a slight profiL income was down substsntially by 16% from last year. We were affected by tenants leaving from two of our unmojernised cottages leaving them empty for the whole year, which not only reduced our rental income. but incurred the runnin8 costs of rates and services. The Trust had to carefully consider whether to renovate the cottages or sell one, as we had insufficient capital reserve to fund the rertt)vation of both the empty properties. They were in such a condition that their existing kitchen and bathroom extensions had to be demolished and re-built. We decided to tske out one or more intere5t-free PLACE loans from Hert5mere Council. supplemented by a mortgage from the CAF Bank which specialises in loans to charities. Planning permission to replace them was granted in late 2022, and work started to renovate one ofthe cottages with a £25,(XX) PCE loan and fundingfrom our reserves. Thisworkwascompleted in July 2023. Financingdekys has delayed work on the other propertyto 23124. The year saw the comet10n of repairs to the inside of the house funded by an insurance claim. Ground movement over manyyears had led to large cracks to the interior. particularly in the site-managers flat making it unattrdctive to our staff. The year also saw the completion of the removal of a sub-station transformer, electrical equipment and asbestos lining from a room in the stables, a project that started in 2018. Thi5 has allowed us to free up a room in the Hayloftand rent it to the tenant who occupies the rest of the Hayloft area, increasing our future irOMe. Our two main employees have continued to deNElop well in their roles by increasing their skills. Lesley Powell, our Head Gardener, has taken firm control of the garden which is k)oking increasingly well- tended. New fruit cagesand rose arches have been installed and better planting5 in new indu5trial-style

Lesley has achieved her spraying qualification, attended an advanced course on lawns h35 improved her networkinB With other head gardeners. She has publicized the garden via her Insta8ram account which now has over I8 folk)wers, and has given talks to several garden societies. Gary Walton, our site manager. has tsken on more respons4.11t1eS in mana8ing the estate. and has improved his maintenance skills, including attending some training courses. This has benefited the estste as he has restored and decorated manyareas of the front of the main house. The cafes have continued in operation throughout the year providing rentsl income. and hire charges for functions. The Garden Café started operation in the Stsble Gallery in April 2022 and has opened S days a week providing a modest but useful inco.

However, tsken together. incorne frLvn the catering operations exceeds pre-covid level5. In order to prOVe sufFicient funds to maintsin and irnprove the fabric and grounds of Reveley Lodge, the Trusvs strategy is trjcontain current account Costs, improve income in both the shortand longterm by investing in our cottages. and improve usage by the communtty. In line wrth thi5. in 2022123 the Trust has= Re-decorated and replaced the carpets on one of the cottages on 3 change of tenant, and achieved a higher rental income of £1,4(M) per month 8ross. up from £1,225. ncreased the rents on cottages as their tenancy agreements mature, in line with market rates. Replaced the canopy in front of the Stsble Gallery to provide a mre attrdctive environment for clients of the Garden Café. Rented out rooms in the house for the filming of a BBC docudrama. Continued with our programme of monthty art exhibitKin5 in the Stable Gallery, which combined wrth private viewing events and increased charges have improved sales and interest. These are in addition to the Artist Challenge. an annual event held as part of the Bushey Festival, during which artists are challenged to paint a rIe in the garden against the clock. Held a number of popular events - an Easter Egg Hunt for children- a lunch to mark the Platinum anniversaryof the late Queen Elizabeth11- a Halloween e¥entfor chitdren with suitsbly spooky attractions and craft5: and a Christrnas Market. FINANCIAL REVIEW Unrestricted income was reduced during the year with the total income amounting to £130,988 12021122 - £156.7621 due to the absence of Covid grants from the UK Government compared to 2021122. and because two of our cottage5 were un-tenanted for the most part of the year. This was partially offset by increased income from visitors from popular events. filming fees and functions. There were modest repairs to the main house during the year, but costs were incurred in both the refurbishment of one of the cottages on a change of tenant. and the first payments for the renovation of one of the vacant cottages. Expenditure was significantly lower at £128,0161202V22 - £164,247) because repairs and maintenaTr to the house and garden were reduced. and because the previous vear had significant legal costs assockited with a tenanvs dispute. Detsils of the expenditure is shown in note 3 tothe accounts.

PrOlp31 fiindlry sour As mentioned above the principal funding sources are income from the Trusfs investments. including rents reIved from cottages that formed part of the bequest that was reived from Mrs Chewetvs estate, augmented by rentsl income from the Hayloft. Income from visitors improved further from events and we benefitted from one-off fjlm location fees. Investment Fdicv The Investment policy continues to be investment in the tottages to maximise rentsl income, and in the house and garden to generate event and hire income. Ilisks affectin8 the charfty The trustees have continued to work toward5 a position where ar by year the income generated covers the costs of maintaining the house and garden. Our income stream. when all the cottages a let, is now more than Sufficient to cover our running COS However, our capit31 reserves are now sufficient only to cover some repair costs such as a roof problem. They are insufficient to pay for the renovation of the hvo empty. unmodernised cottages. A mortgage and a local authority loan will fill this gap but the repayments will reduce our funding Surplus over the next few year5. As a consequence. a major repair cost such as the replacement of the entire roof would te more drfficult to finance at short notice. The trustees make every effort to entify this and other risks with periodic reviews of the condition of the buildings and structures. The day-to-day management of the Trust is LArgely left to the Trustees.This results in a heavy workload that in the longer term is unsustsinable as the Trustees become older, and the pool of potential replacements able to have the time to carry out this work shrinks due to societsl changes. The solution Is to employ a manager. This could be afftirde<i rf capital could be l$ed by selling the Paddock. Reserves poli The trustees maintain a general rK)Iy to provide a fund sufficient for the long term preservation of Reveley Lodge and gardens. Nevertheless. the trustees have determined that in recent years there has been an overriding need to carry out necessary works to renovate the house, gardens and adjoining buitdings with the costs covered. where necessary. from the Trusys serveS where the is insufficient income for the purpose. Although fve out of the eight cottages have been fully moderni5ed and therefore provide a resilient income, the three that iemain wi51 be expensive to renovate. Two of the three were empty during 2022/23 but towards the end of the year, work started on the moderrbisation of one of the empty cottages. The Trustees have discussed whether. in order to increase the availability of capiLIl to improve the house and the cottages we should sell one of the cottages, but we have determined that we should keep all of the cottages and raise a mortgage to fill the capital funding gap. We have also decided to breach our reserves policy to provide short terni funding for the renovation of this single cottage. in ordei to reduce costs (empty cottages attract double Council tax and higher insurance) and improve income. However, should circuMstanS arise that the cash reserves are insufficient to fund some major problem with the house. the Trustees wukl still. in extrewni5. sell one ofthe cottages. Plans forfirture r*rfoth The Trust will continue to upErade the cottages, if possie, on the change of tenant. to gradually bring them up to a stsndard that attracts the full market rent for such proFtrties. The Stable Gallery will continueto be used as both a cafe and an art ealleryfulfilling tN)th ourcharitable objectives and bringing
REVELEY LODGE TRUST A Company limited bv guarantee {Company number 04772191 Charity registration 10999351 in addittonal income. We expect the Hayloft to te rented out for a hjrther year at least and the tenant has aBreed an increased rent in 23124 when theyare able to (Kcupy an additional room. The additional rental income from the cottages, the hayloft and the art, the café and the and exhibition space of the stables will add to our income stream to suPrt the slow improvement in the maintenance of the main house. Funds raised from events and tours together with appeals for fijnding from outside bodies will be used to improve facilities and renovate parts of the estste. The Trust will continue to build on the events that have proved successful and expand them to include historical. cultural and art exhibitions. lectures, talks. concerts and film showings. Thi5 will eenerate income. but pefhaps more imrKJrtantly, increase the number and expand the demographics of visitors to Reveley. The Trust is explorin8the use of the house and garden for 5rnall weddings to bring in additional income. The Trustees believe these actrons will enable the Twst to maintain and improve visitor facilities and expand the artistic and cultural heritage a¢Xiated wrth the Chewett family for the benefit of all visitors, including local sch¢x)I partie5. To secure the long-term sustainabiltty of the charity, we will seek to raise fund5 from the sale of part of the Paddock and we are in discussion with a developer. srRUCTURE GOVERNAN AND MANAGEME Governln8 d(xuments The Reveley Lodge Trust 1.the Trust"l is a charitsble company limited by guarantee.

The Trust is supported by an inCa$lnE nrnr of volunteers who regularly assist in maintaining the house and garden, in running events and in supporting educational actNities at Reveley Lodge.
