herst Herita eTr ist8red num 362306 Re forthe Y ort ofth T stees d 30 March 202 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities As with FY 2023-2024, 1 am pl8ased to say that the Fort Amhérst Heritsge Trust has come to the end of FY 2024-2025 maintaining a sound financAal base on which to tske fO￿ard its daily operations and plans for th8 future. The Trusfs investment fijnds continue to deliver positlvèly despite fluctualions in the finanrial markets. Once agaln. the efforts of the Trust Secretary and ts accountancy team ar8 deserving of praise for th6 attention they give to our finandal affairs. The newly appointsd (Aug 20231 General Manager has continued to make a positive impac* on the TrusV8 operations. Many new activities have been inlrcKluced Ihat have attracted a wider cross-section of visitors to the ForL For the 2024 season paid Tunnel Guides were introduced. This enabled us to offer scheduled tunnel tours seven-days a week. Although this entailed an extra expense, thé décision h8s been justified by th8 additional income generated. The Introduction of paid guides was another step in our ambition to èstablish the tunnels as a recogniséd mainstream tourist destination. Dudng the Wnter 2024 and Sprlng of 2025 the project to Sntroduca enhanced displays into the tunnels took some major steps forward. The ￿2 Medway Group Control was refurbishèd, and a number of completely new dlsplays were Introduced at key locations, thus enllvenlng the visitor exFerienc@. Thls work continues wth the next stsp being the Installation of special sound effects. The speclal event programrne continues to make a huge contribution to the Trust. both financially and In establishing the fortres5 as a valued community asset. The third season of the Summer Prom8 Concerts was a success as was Ihe celebrated Hallowegn Horrors. 2024 also saw the return of the Napoleonlc Association to present a largesse military garrison event. One downside to our operatlon has been the axtended slrike in the American film industy whlch had a sizeable knock-on effect In the UK. Although there were some location enquldes, none of these led to productions wsittng Fort Amherst. Our Park Rangers Team continues to make a positlve impact in all aspects of the fortress activities. Wort<ing hand-in-hand with grounds conlr8Ctors and our volunteers they hav8 enabled us to present well maintained parkland at both Fort Amherst and at The Lower Lines Park. In my previous Annual Report, I made mention of the Museum, Archives and Collectlons Team toward8 achieving Accredited Museum Ststus from the Arts Council England. It is with undisguised pride that I can confimi that Ihis sought aft8r accolade has been achieved. This accreditatlon élevates the Tru81 to the upper ethelons of museum operations and importantty opéns up additional fvnding sources for future projects. As th8 saylng g088, 'Rome wasny built in a dal, and th1818 the case for t￿0 opportunities the Trust has been pursulng for some timè. One is the acquisllion of the Spur Batt8ry Ditches from the MOD, and the other is the transfer to Trust ownership of the Chateau Barracks Ordnance Stores Bullding from th8 barr8ck8 developers. Both of these wportuniti8S remain fimily in our sites. Although the Trust has been able to expand its pa￿ for staff, il Is the volunteer teams that contlnue to underpin much of whal we do. Bè it as visitor guides. grass cutting, working In the erthives, delivering the annual Hallowéert Horrors spectacular, or giving addrtional supp)rt to the growing events programme, the valued Inpul of volunteers cannot be 8pprecl8ted hlghly enough. Their input underscores all th8t we asplre to. I cannot end this reFQrt without mentlon of a group of voluntsers who make 811 thlngs at Fort Amherst and the Lower Lines possible - my fellow Trustees. Each of them brings a certain skill or experien￿ to the Trust. Wrthout thelr input I am sure we would not be in such a buoyant POSltion of Gonfidence as we take the Trust forward. Page 2

From Ime to tNne fundlng has certain restrictlons whlch means that by18w It must be held as re8tiicted reserves untll it 18 spent In line with th8 fvnding agreement. 8. From ￿me to time fundlng is designated by the truste88 for 8P8dfic projects which are then contracted for. These contracts have to be 88Niced. Fort Amher8t Herltage Trust fundlng. The charity ts Gurrently funded by three wholty owned 8ubsidiarles who gift aid their profits up to the charlty. The great majority of this funding hag been provided by the g8n8ral public when visitiro the charity's pr8m18es and facilities. Other smaller restiicted fundlng b provided for renovation prl8cts undertaken by the tharfty. The charity also seeks Lottery Grant funds for larger renovation projects.

Furthermore, were the charity to dosè, the organisation would Incur a number of incidental costs includlng vAndlng up ¢osts, particularly staff redundande5.
