Do¢AJslgn Envelope ID.. 0238D513-01694920-8CF>58044EOECF21 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S REPORT At the end of the 23124 financial year, the KPMF team and trustees are confident and optimistic about the future. Now, fflore than ever, society needs the life changing benefits of music and spoken word, and artists need to feel valued and championed. Throughout the last year we have provided a platform for new and diverse voices to be head and appreciated. Working in partnership with ourartistic collaborators, and providing space for smaller charities and our community, we've offered a home for creativity and a welcoming environment for all. We have remained at the forefront of sound technology, thanks to our partnershipwith d&b audio, and continue to champion innovation across our programme. We consider fair treatment and opportunity forall in everythingwedo,and our EDI workhasreachedawhole new level thanks to our new partnership with Black Lives in Music, who have also moved Into our shared off ice space. Kings Place was founded with strong environmental principles at its heart with everything from a zero to landfill waste management system to bug hotelsand bat boxeson the roof.Ourcommitment is reflected in the work of our Sustainability Working Group who ensure that the venue makes ethical and environmentally-sound decisions in all lacets of the business and encourages others to follow the same processes. All of this is possible thanks to the hard work of our team, the artists who pertorm on our stages, and our many partners across the community, It has been an excellent year for quality and impact of prc¥Jramming and associated ticket sales. Significant increases were seen across tickets sold, revenue generated and sold capacity. 'It was breathtaklng1ywrtuos￿. Yetit was alsoan invigoratingreminder.. that, as we dwellincreasinglyin the virtualspaces ofthe internet, in its Zoom rooms andonstre8mingpl8tforms, seeking evermore wsceralsensory eXper￿nCeS from ourpersonal tech. nothing canmatch the shock andawe, the terrorand tenderness, of liveperformancein a sharedspace." Times Literarysupplement, Flora Wiltson, May2023 The year brought unexpected challenges. but through strategic refocusing and organisational restructure we are already seeing progress in formerly underperforming areas of income generation. Our Artistic & Executive Director. Hden Wallace, left the organisation at the end of January 2024, leaving an extraordinary artistic legacy and a flourishing, internationally renowned programme. With her departure, the organisation completed a restructure, creating two key leadership roles (an Artistic Directorand an Executive Director) working in partnership alongside an expanded senior team and new and redesigned roles throughout the team. Having a broader range of ski115 and experience at Director level allows us to support the whole team more eflectively. Helen's departure marks the end of an era at Kings Place. and the recruitment of her repla￿rnent the start of an exciting new one.

We began 23124 with the expectatM?n that programme and conferencing activity would return to pre-pandemic capacity. We were able to capitalise on our successes and have learnt and adapted through our challenges. Programming outperformed ourexpectations and exceeded budget, demonstrating the enduring power of our artistic output. Corporate event sales had a challenging year, but we focused on working closely with our partners in the Event Sales team to support the conference business and have already seen marked improvements. Fundraising faced difficullies after our Head of Development left the organisation in March 2023, however the appointment of her replacement helped continue to grow this area of our work in the second half of the period. We were unable to meet Private Hire targetswithout a dedicated member of the team focused on securing that income, but since creating a dedicated Private Hire role this area of the business is growing exponentially. Income from the rental of desks in our shared off ice space remained steady throughout the year and costs were tightly controlled. Our priorities going into 23124 were longer-term and strategic. including developing a strategic artistic and commercial relationship with d&b audio, diversifying our partnerships, and improving venue sustainability and access provision. Many of those goals were achieved, but with Helen s resignation in November 23 and the financial challenges of many of our key income streams, we pivoted our focus in the later part of the year to creating and implementing a new structure whilst maintaining team stability, alongside cost saving and revenue generation. At the start of 24125 we have recruited a new Artistic Director. created and recruited for a new Development Director role to work alongside our existing Head of Development, and created and internally filled a role devoted to Private Hires. Since these changes have been put into operation we have already seen a dramatic increase in Private Hire income and are creating long-temi strategic plans to build our fundraised income. The programming team, led by our new Artistic Director, are overseeing a programme that continues to go from strength to strength. Ticket sales are up 22% on last year. with Folk, Jazz, Contemporary and Comedy performing particularlywell. 22123 was a challenging year, full of growth and change and many achievements. As we look to the future, we are f(￿used on long term strategy for the next three years and beyond. Crealivity, collaboration. innovation, equality. diversity. inclusion, and sustainability are at the heart ol these plans. We have begun the work of strategically diversifying our income streams, including significantly growing our fundraising activities. Going forward the trustees and KPMF team are united in their common purpose, a sustainable future for the charity. TrusteesReport including Directors. Report and Strategic Report.

While we hosted several large events, including the return of C21's Content London, and income from hire and technical packages was up on the previous year, we ended the financial year with a £288K shortfall in conference income vs budget. £116K of this came in the final quarter and was the impetus lor us changing strategy to focus on income generation, cost saving and supporting our partner company, Kings Place Events IKPE), doing everything we can to assist with event sales. Our initial actions to better support KPE include.. teambuilding between our organisations. repainting Hall Two, fixing panels, refurbishing lecterns, supporting show rounds technically, presentation and appearance of our spaces, and offering marketing support to the conference business. We are working with KPE to better understand the current conferencing market and how V￿ can more effectively forecast and guarantee income. Private Hires Though Private hires struggled throughout the early part of 2023124, towards the end of the year the decision was made to assign our Event Coordinator to monitor the inbox and respond to enquiries. She showed an aptitude lor sales and delivery. and we saw an immediate uptick in confirmed private hires. On this basis, we took the decision to focus all the Event Coordinator's attention on hires, changing their title to Private Hire Coordinator and backfilling her previous duties with a new part-time role. Since the creation of this new role. Private Hires are flourishing, beating budget every month and generating more income in the first three months of 24125 than was achieved in the whole of 23124. We see the Private Hire business asa key part of our income model in the future. Musi¢ Baw Rental• With the continued popularity of flexible and hybrid working the market for desk rentals has been particularly challenging. Through the efforts of our Office & HR Manager we have maintained a loyal community of tenants who appreciate our unique offer. An inclusive office solution, with ample storage, staffed reception and a welcoming arts environment is still very appealing to those seeking a London base, particularly those with ties to music and culture. Throughout 23124 we achieved consistent levels of occupancy and income and welcomed new tenants including Black Lives in Music. Ground Floor Offices In February 2023we entered into the third year of a five-year let of the Ground Floor Offices to an external company.

Reserves Pollcyand Going Concern The trustees will continue to apply the unrestricted fund to the Foundation's objectives. The Foundation has restricted funds of £9.5k. Unrestricted funds at year-end increased by £53.5k to £503k.

The threshold is reviewed quarterly at a minimum, along with the principal risks and uncertainties facing the charity. At year-end, free reserves are in deficit by-£54k. The trustees are conscious of the gap between current free reserves and the reserves target.
