Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 1 Nov 2023 Period start date To 31 Oct 2024 Period end date

Charity name: The Bentley Priory Mansion House Operational Endowment Fund Charity registration number: 1138628

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The trustees must apply the income of the Charity in furthering the following objects: to provide financial support to the operation of a museum at Bentley Priory which advances the education of the public in the history of the mansion house site and in the history and development of aviation, science and engineering, the history of the Battle of Britain and the preservation of part of Bentley Priory as a memorial to those who served in the RAF and in particular (but not exclusively) during the Battle of Britain.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The financial support from the Endowment Trust forms a fundamental part of the Museum Trust’s business plan. The Trustees of the Endowment Trust seek to fulfil the objective of “providing financial support to the operation of a museum at Bentley Priory” to the greatest level of support permitted.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The Trust’s public benefit it vested in ensuring that the museum can stay open to the public and accessible to a broad audience. It is very difficult to raise funds to meet the costs of the routine activity that is essential when running a facility open to the public. Without funding from the Endowment Trust the Museum would have to charge vast entrance fees, which would mean that the important stories of Bentley Priory and the Battle of Britain would only be open to the wealthy. Alternatively, the museum would be unable to operate as a sustainable ongoing concern and would have to close. Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The endowment funds of £2.6M were given to the Trust in Sep 2012. Following a comprehensive competitive process and professional advice the funds since then have been split between 2 investment fund managers. Following meetings with both investment managers (Hambro and Close), during this reporting period the Trustees merged the funds. The combined fund is now managed by Close. This has reduced overall investment management charges and simplified the reporting process to Trustees. The investment risk to the fund and growth and income objectives have not been changed. Despite continued market volatility during the reporting period, the Trust has made available £116,000 to support the Museum Trust in its work. Visitor Engagement and Audience Development

Admissions and School Visits In 2024, the Museum welcomed a total of 10,554 visitors – the 3[rd] highest number of visitors since the Museum opened in 2013. Of these, 8,784 were general admissions (adults, concessions and children as part of family visits) and 1,760 were students visiting as part of School groups to participate in facilitated workshops and gallery tours. The number of students visiting took the total number of students visiting the Museum since its doors opened in 2013 to over 10,000. Projects Our National Lottery Heritage Fund project ‘Clerk, Special Duties’ was completed in 2024 with the creation of the ‘Day in the Battle’ interactive timeline and Bentley Priory WAAF database, displayed in the permanent Operations Room gallery. The project included an oral history recording of WAAF Clerk Special Duties veteran Kate Orchard and the creation of new resources for Brownies. The Museum also commemorated the bicentenary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) with an RNLI 200 . Remembering the Rescue of The Few project funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund, on display from July 2024 until March 2025. Project volunteers researched and co-curated a temporary exhibition with the Museum’s Collection Manager, families co-curated a temporary Stained Glass window and participated in family activities during the Easter and Summer Holidays and new resources for Air & Sea Cadets were created. The 80[th] Anniversary of D-Day in June was marked by Tonic Choir’s ‘Operation Nep’tune’ concert and a temporary exhibition which highlighted the important role Bentley Priory played in the planning of all air operations for D-Day as the HQ Allied Air Expeditionary Force and HQ Air Defence of Great Britain. The exhibition included the chairs King George VI and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sat on to watch the progress of D-Day on 6 June 1944 at RAF Bentley Priory’s Bunker. £86,420 has been secured from the National Lottery Fund to commemorate the Royal Observer Corps and 100 years since they were formed in 1925. The project launched in December 2024 with the recruitment of 20 project volunteers, to undertake oral history film and audio

interviews of former ROC personnel and incorporate into a temporary exhibition. The ROC 100 project will be completed in November 2025. Family Engagement The Museum continued to engage families through trails, backpacks, Saturday ‘Scramble Club’ and activities during the school holidays. During 2024, the following themed activities were offered to families during the School holidays: February Half-Term: WAAF Trail & Decorate Filter Counter Biscuits Easter: RNLI 200 Stained Glass Window May Half-Term: Intelligence & Invasion Stripes. Summer Holidays: Guinea Pig Trail & RNLI activities October ‘Which Witch’ Trail December: Meet Father Christmas Bentley Priory is committed to making the Museum welcoming and accessible to young people. Visitor feedback in October 2024 highlights the success of the Museum and its staff and volunteer team in achieving this: Young children are not always the most welcome at museums: they are loud; they like to run about where they can; they can’t stay in one place too long; sometimes I feel people wish they weren’t there. But I didn’t feel that for a second at your museum! Every employee there spoke to my children like they were important, like they and their time mattered too - and my boys loved it! So I wanted to say thank you so much for giving us a brilliant morning, but also for valuing children and the part they play in keeping history alive. We will be back soon! Visitor, October 2024 Temporary Exhibitions The Museum’s temporary exhibition gallery hosted 2 exhibitions in 2024. Paul Joyce’s Remembrances of War (November 2023 – June 2024) showcased a selection of his painting, in a style reminiscent of Paul Nash. RNLI 200. Remembering The Rescue of The Few (July 2024 – March 2025) was cocurated by project volunteers and Museum staff and highlighted the significance of the RNLI during the Battle of Britain in rescuing aircrew during the Battle of Britain before the development of the RAF’s Air Sea Rescue later in the war. The exhibition was supported by a ‘Guinea Pig’ trail for children, inspired by an RNLI rescue story from Dunkirk, bringing back a French

soldier and his Guinea Pig. Battle of Britain Commemoration The Battle of Britain commemorative period was marked by a visit of 53 Officer Cadets from The Royal Air Force Officer Training Academy at RAF Cranwell who participated in a Plotting Workshop and helped tidy the Italian Gardens and Bunker area. Our annual Battle of Britain commemorative day in September welcomed nearly 200 visitors and was supported by Airfix, Harrow Radio Society, Harrow Apollo Male Choir and reenactors, and volunteers doing pop-up talks. Talks Programme Our Friday Morning Talks Programme continues to be well received by visitors, with 14 talks in 2024. Our second Dowding System Day in July welcomed Air Marshal Cliff Spink RAF (Rtd), Sharon Ward and Anthony Inglis as speakers. Due to the success of volunteer ‘Pop-Up Talks’ on special commemorative days, ‘Pop-Up Talks’ have been introduced on general admission days. Collections Management The Museum’s collection has been developed through the loan of a marquette of the Battle of Britain Monument by artist Paul Day, depicting aircrew scrambling and St Paul’s Cathedral. This striking marquette is now on display next to the Battle of Britain Lace Panel, also depicting The Few and St Paul’s Cathedral. 501 Squadron have loaned 7 original portraits of Battle of Britain aircrew. Funding will be sought to add conservation glass to them to enable their display for the 85[th] Anniversary of the Battle of Britain in 2025.

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41


Investment performance against objectives	Para 1.41	The investment objectives set by the Trustees and which form the basis of the instructions to the two fund managers are:  Preservation of the initial capital  Generation of sufficient income and capital growth to meet the planned transfer to the Museum Trust  Sufficient additional growth in the underlying capital to ensure the long-term viability of the Trust The first of these two objectives were met with the original capital transfer preserved and the majority of the planned transfer to the Museum Trust achieved. The underlying aim of growing the capital by CPI, has continued to be adopted as a measure by the Trustees, over the period of the report, however, there still remains a shortfall over the life of the Trust and it remains the Trustees long-term objective to fully achieve this objective.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	At the end of the period of this report the Trust retained a sound financial position with a proven investment policy which has permitted it to fully support the Museum Trust whilst also meeting its capital retention requirements. It is intended to continue with these policies in order to permit its objectives to be met in the forthcoming period.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	In accordance with the Trust’s deed Trustees must not spend any of the original capital from the endowment, However, in line with the approved Total Return Policy dated 12 February 2014 they may use both income and capital growth to support the Museum. The Trust has continued to closely monitor the return on the initial investments and has ensured that appropriate measures are taken to protect the initial capital and to ensure that the Trust is able to fulfil its obligations in the future. During the period of this report the return on the investments was a gain of £111,022 and £116,000 was provided to the Museum Trust to support its activities. Management costs for the investments were £25,336. Bank charges totalled £60 and governance costs were £675. The total return therefore contributes to meeting the objective of increasing the value of the funds invested in line with the Consumer Price Index, thus contributing to the long-term viability of the Trust. The Trustees will continue to pursue this objective in order to protect the long-term viability of the endowment to meet its objectives.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	0
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	The Trust maintains a capital with a value of circa £2.6M so reserves are not required.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24

Trustees confirm that they have referred to guidance contained in the Charity

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning the award of grants to the Bentley Priory Battle of Britain Trust. The Trust was established under planning obligations laid down by the LB Harrow in a Planning Obligation document (S106) in Sep 2014 to ensure sustainability of the Bentley Priory Museum. The Museum is located within a Grade II* listed building known as Bentley Priory. The Museum Trust holds a 60-year lease on the historically significant part of the building. The S106 also contained provision for the developer of the overall Bentley Priory site to provide, on the signing of the lease, the sum of £2,600,000 to establish a “Heritage Facility Fund” to assist the trustees of the Bentley Priory Battle of Britain Trust (The Museum Trust) to fulfil its objectives to create and maintain the Museum. The S106 stipulates that this sum of money is to be “disbursed on the basis that the income only will be made available to the nominated operator [of the museum] and will be used solely towards the operating costs of the heritage facility”. The S106 further stipulates that the Heritage Facility Fund remains attached to the building itself and does move with the museum operator. The responsibility for managing this fund lies with this charity known as ‘The Bentley Priory Mansion House Operational Endowment Trust’. The funds were transferred to the Endowment Trust on 8 September 2012. The financial support from the Endowment Trust forms a fundamental part of the Museum Trust’s business plan. The Trustees of the Endowment Trust seek to fulfil the objective of “providing financial support to the operation of a museum at Bentley Priory” to the greatest level of support permitted. Trustees have worked to ensure best possible investments to support the work of the museum whilst ensuring capital is preserved and grows with inflation and to ensure that the provisions of the Charity Commission Order dated 12 February 2014 are observed. The financial support given to the Museum is essential to the day-to-day operations of the museum. The planned support of a

		minimum of £100 000 per annum is approximately 50% of the museum’s regular annual income. The donation from the Trust is used to pay museum staff and for routine costs such as utility and maintenance contracts.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46	The endowment funds of £2.6M were given to the Trust in Sep 2012. Following a comprehensive competitive process and professional advice the funds were split between 2 investment fund managers (Hambro and Close). Following meetings with both investment managers, during this reporting period the Trustees merged the funds. The combined fund is now managed by Close. This has reduced overall investment management charges and simplified the reporting process to Trustees. This change has not altered the Trust investment risk or objectives. Currently the Trustees discuss Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) with the Investment Manager. The Trustees have not adopted a formal SRI exclusions policy.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Investment Objectives and Risk The Trustees must apply the income of the Fund in furthering the following objectives (“the Objectives”): to provide financial support to the operation of a museum at Bentley Priory which advances the education of the public in the history of the Mansion House site and in the history and development of aviation, science and engineering, the history of the Battle of Britain and the preservation of part of Bentley Priory as a memorial to those who served in the Royal Air Force and in particular (but not exclusively) during the Battle of Britain. The Trustees will not spend any of the Capital of the Fund in furthering these Objectives. The asset strategy should seek to maintain the principle capital of the Fund using appropriate investment vehicles. Additional investment objectives are to: Preserve capital; Invest prudently; Maximise investment return; Mitigate inflation The Trustees delegate the day-to-day management of its assets to professional investment advisers.

Income from interest, This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can royalties and dividends be measured reliably. Income from membership Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations subscriptions and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. Settlement of insurance Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition claims criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and Investment gains and losses any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the Liability recognition obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. costs Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments

Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value.

Stocks and work in progress

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial Debtors recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit Current asset investments and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
