TRU5TEES' ANNUAL RÉPORT for the year ended 31 Mèrth 2022
CHAIR'S REPORT
We have seen a year of conts'nued significant disruption to activity from the COVID-19 pandemic. In
Ihe first quarter we were still operating under full lockdown. This started to be relaxed in May 2021,
but we had very limited activity at Bristol Beacon IBBI until June/July 2021 with some rehearsals
and workshops at Beacon Musie Centre IBMCI By September we were seeing more external venue
cOn￿rtS and artistic and commercial activity in BB with some staff starting to return to work in our
buildings. We held our first all staff meeLing at the end of Soptember, and this marked our real
'return to life,. There was another shorter .'ockdown in December 2021 but by the end of January
2022. BB commercial and artistic activity Iboth in the building and in external venuesl had really
started to get back to normal. The same is true at BMC where ensemble rehe3rsaLs and other
teaching has b*n fully re-established face to face. We have continued a flexible approach to staff
working in the buiLdiros and this seems to be working well with most staff coming in 2 or 3 days
per week.
We have taken the opportunity of limited activity in the buildings for the last 9 months of the year
to pursue various maintenance and development projects. We started a foyer upgrade project in
oarly 2022 to assess what we need to do to re-model the box office area and upgrade the other
foyer areas to match the redeveloped facilities. This will help us to me@l our ambition5 to be
accessible and welcoming to all our community. A lighting upgrade Is 3190 being undertaken in
parallel to this. At BMC we havè mado significant improvement5 to internal roorn access to make
the facilits'es more suitable for activities for special needs groups.
Despite the challenges. we have had a number of notable highbghts this year. We were able to
livestream two concerts by the London Symphony Orchestra ILSOI under Sir Simon Rattle to care
homes around the country thanks to ihe generous support of Geoff Crocker of Bri.qtol Care Homes.
We embedded our name change through a new brand across ihe business developed in
partnership with Saboteur and Rising Arts Agency and launched in September 2021. We were
excited to secure an award-winning live broadcast of Channel 4 News from our foyer to mark Back
to Black day. We have worked hard to continue to support the National Open Youth Orchestra
throuqh tho year culminaling in a performance of the orchestra at st Georges in Bristol, at thé
Barbican, The Lighthouse and SAGE Gateshead.
The refurbishment of Bristol Beacon is progresslng quickly now with change vi5ibt@ on a weekly
basis as the ffit-out p@riod progresses. COV.'D-Ig has had a significant effect on the works, but the
major structural work Is complete and now we are on track for the autumn 2023 opening. We will
continue our successful capital fundraising campaign for the project which has now achieved over
96/è of targèt to end May 2022.
We finished the financial year in a positive position with a small surplus a5 planned. mainly as a
result of the Su￿ssfuL funding bid toArts Council Ellgiand for COVID-19 support. This ha.q enabled
us to make a subskntial £300k ¢ontribution to rebuilding our reserves. We very much hope that
we are at the end of COVID-19 restrictions and the consequent major business ehallenge and
uncertainty. DespitÈ the problems of the last two years, our general reserves and trustee
designated reserves exceed Elm. This puts us in a good position for 2022/23, our build-up year to

re-opening in September 2023. We expect to know about our ACE revenue funding 3-year
settLement in October 2022. We will then complete the planneé implementation of our new staff
structures together with our business operating systems and procedures ready for the
announcement of the autumn 2023 opaning season of cowerts and activities.
We are grateful for the support of Bristol City Council, Arts Council England, Nètsonal Lottery
Heritage Fund, West OF England Combined Authority. HM Treasury and of course the many
individuals. organisations and trusts and foundations who have given so gen8rou51y to SUPPOrt our
edU￿tIon work, music promotions and capital campaign.
We are fa¢ing the future in a positive fashion as we rebuild the business and tho building. We are
planning an exceptional program of events to celebrate all that is so wonderful about Iwe music.
None of this would be possible without the most remarkable team at Bristol Music Trust lad by
Louise Mitchell. It 15 their dedication and hard work that h35 brought to reality a vision fI￿t put
forward some eleven years ago whén the Trust was established. Without each and every member
of the I rusL's staff none of this would be possible and we are even more grateful for thei", amazing
support and dedication through all the disruption caused by COVID-19.

support the artistic programme and audience development objectives.
On I September ?013, thp 8ri%tol Arts and Music Service IBAMSI was formally IransFcrrcd from BCC
lo become an integral part of Bristol Music Trust as the Music Education Hub for the City of Bristol
run by our CLE team. The aim is to deliver an exciting and coherent music educational programme
that spans both formal and non-formal mus'.c éducation across the city. The team is based both at
Bristol Beacon and al the music centre ill sout.￿Mead. whiGh is leased io 8ri5tol Music Trust from
BCC for a peppercorn rent. The visioN of CLE is lo work with Strateg￿ hub partners to mako Bristol
the UK Capitsl of Young People's Music and ensure that every young porson has access to music
learning activities and a platform for rnusical expression and participation.
The concert hall is at the beating heart of culture arid music in BristoL The building has been part of
the Bristol styline for 150 years and home to iconic performances by some of the world's leading
artists, including The Beatles. EILa Fitzgerald, Bob Oylan. David Bowie and Yehudi Menuhin, leaving
Lasting momorios that live on in p&ople's minds. The first Hall opened to the public on 20 Seotember
1867, butthé main auditorium was destroyed by fire in 1898. A secorKI reconfigured hall opened on
the slte in 1901 and was bought from the CoL5ton Hall Company in 1919 by Bristol Corporation for
£65.000. and the building has b￿￿ the property of BNstol Cily Council over since. In 1935 the hall
was c105ed for remodelling with a Ihird hall opening in December 1936. but a further fire in 1945
robbed F3rislol of its concert hall onc? more. The fourth incarnation of the hall. which exists today.
was opened in 1951 to mart< the Festival of Britain. Funding constraints have mèant that Ilmited
investment has been made in the building since then.
By around 2005. it was clear to BCC that the hall needed substantial investment if it were to be
able as a 21st century concert and events hall. A project was therefore in tiated to create a new
foyer building and to refurbish the historic bailding. It was recognised thatthis projectwould require
signif1cant funding investment and so the decision was mace to split the project into two phases.1n

there wa5 a need for p.qase 2 to complotcly refurbish the old building. In 2015-16 8CC and Bristol
MUSIG Trust IBMTI iNvested in an extensive. joint investigation and feasibility study which resulted
in four redeveiopmenloptions being presented by Levitt Bernstein. The partnershipwas formalised

Bristol Beacon Artistic F¥ogramme
The pandemic continued lo have an impact on the programme through much of 2021 and into
2022 with a significant llu.￿ber of shows being rescheduled as they were in 20/21. However. in
21/22 we saw more shows cancelled Ic301 rather than rescheduled due to tours becoming
unviable for artists due to COVID-19 and travel restrictions, which led to our programme
becoming lighter through the Spring and Summer and shifting our focu5 to other impactful
opportunities
These included a large art exhibition in our Foyer Space - Super Cool Drawng Machine - created
by numerous relatively high-profile musicians who had created visual art during the lockdown
period. We ais0 ¢o-commissioned a new promenade piece called Smoosh witn the Paraorchestra
for two outdoor performances in Filwood in South Bristol in September 2021. The piece was led
by Charles Hazèlwood and who Paraorchestra with over forty community musicians and dancers
playinq a'jukebox of hits through the streets of Filwood. The project was made possible by
partnering with FilW0￿ Community Centre who played a leading role in galvanising local interest
and support.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions on venues we also focussed our attention on an ambitious online
project called Intermission with Brislol band Scatyng and digital/visual artists Limb￿ Cffnema. This
involved creating a fifteen-minute interactive film of the 8ristol geacon'Jnder construction with a
soundtrack created by Scalping and featurin9 the band ￿ moving images/avatars within the film
itself. The resulting interactive filrn led directly to Limbic cir.ema receiving a'On@s to Watch

FiJtURE PLANS
We are pleased that our pLans for the financial year 2021/22 have mainly been achieved with the
rebuilding of all areas of Ihe business post COVlD-19 from September 202L We continued to
work with around 30 exlernal venues to promote 130 concerts acr055 the city. having had to
cancel around 30 completely. Whilst we are still seeing slower ticket sales Wlth many people
bogking at the last moment or on the door, we are sèeing audiences Teturn in line with industry
expectations. Our commercial hire business is experiencing the same pattern and s seeing a very
high level of tast-minute enquiries for space which we are working hard to convert to sales. Our
@ducation work has come back strongly with a lot of demand for lessons and projects. Our
challenge in this area is finding sufficient b.igh quality teaching staff. The net result is thal we have
been ablo to deliver a small Surplus with no need to draw on any of our designated reserves for
music education or artistic prograrnrning this yoar.
This puts us in a good position with free or unrestricted fund5 lincluding Fixpd ￿Set$} of £lm to
plan the build-up of the business in 2022/23 ready for opening In &.ptember 2023 During the
next financial year, we will need lo invest significantly in our staff team to ensure thoy are ready
and fully trained for opening. We also plan to invest in a modest but importanl upgrade to the
foyer building to ensure it rnatehes the refurbished auditoria. We have alraady allO￿ted funding
for this from previous unused provlslons for the renaMing/b￿ndlng project.
We have modeLied different financial scenarios for 2022/23 and for a full 12 Months fonNard and
are confident that even if the Least advantageous scenario o¢cJrs. the busiiess can continue
operating towards readiness for opening. The next 12-month period will cover the announcem8nt
of the next 3-year settlement of ACE Tevenue funding In Octobor 2022 and the planncd and
agreed reduction In BCC revenue funding in 2023/24. Our 4-year business plan financial model
to 2025/26 takes the BCC agreement into account and presents 2 possible scenarios for the ACE
setllemenL The first is a standstill budget wbere we maintain ACE funding at standstill existirig
leveLs. the second is an upllft budget where we are awarded additional funding ol
£350k/£325k/£300k over the 3-years. We hope to achieve the standstill level of funding and
potentially some up-knft. but we atso have plans in place if t￿1$ is not the case. This will largely
mean eilher having to build our investmenl ir, the staff leam more gracually over the period with a
commensurate slowor build of the artistic and lettings programme.. or trustees deciding to invest
from reserves Lo support key areas.
We have decided to Outsour￿ the food & beverage and events catering requirements of the
business from re-owning and have appointed Graysons Ltd as preferred supplier on a
commission-based contracL They wrill run all 6 bars in tho refurbished venue as well as the new
r8Stauranl, the Pairons lounge and all event catoring. Bristol Loaf will continue to run the foyer

Café for a further 5 year5. Graysons are a very experianced contract catering operator and we
have fLJlly tested their ineome budgets against their current businass as COVID-1g has re¢edod.
Their expectation of incomé from the eontfftct exceeds the leveLs of revenue we woro achieving
In-house and those we had previously bLJdgeted to achieve on re-opening. We are confident that
Graysons will achievo thoir budgets because they are specialist providers with a strong track
record and have a central salcs team who will support our events busine55. This income stream
will compensate for the plannod reduction in BCC SLA payments.
Our business ptan scenarios for 2022/23 and 2023/24 for both standstill funding and uplift
funding aLso address the current infLab'onary pressures in the economy. We have fixed pri￿ uti￿lY
contracts ill place to 2023 and have budgeted for increased costs thereafter. In January 2021 we
carrièd out a saLary review across the business resulting in saLary adjustments to one-third of our
roles. Trustees have also awarded a 5% inflationary increase to the remaining stsff in 2022/23.
Further inflationary increases are allowed thereafter in the budgets. In this way we expect to keep
our current high performing team and be able to attract additional staff as we progress towards
reopening.
We have invested during the closure period in a number of business irrprovement projects to
increase productivity through increased operational and integration efficienciès. These will all be
completed prior to opening and are expècted to deliver significant improvements in tha way wo
work, ernab￿ng us to deliver more events than previously.
We are well networked in the city to identify any new competitive threats. For several years we
have been anticipating the opening of a new Arena in Filton on the Brabazon site. This is
expected to bé around 5,000 capacity and to be open in 2023/24. We do not anticipatg this
affecting our business in a major way since the programme will be larger arsna rock and pop
bands.
The refurbishment project is continuing as planned and w8 are confident t￿t we will open for a full
opening season in autumn 2023. A5 part of the strategy for delivering the transformation project
we will continue to focus on adv¢xacy, communication. and the development of key stakeho.'der

return to normal business post COVlD-1g from Septernber 2021. For the CLE business", the main
Arts Council Englarid grant for the provision of music education services is confirmed for the year.
For the fotlowing financial year 2023/24. the budg@t and cashliow have been prepartd for a
slandstill and uplift position relating to the core ACE revenLJe grant They are basod on the
assumptions of continued growth and building the bu9néss throughout Ihe year towards re-
opéning in September 2023. with tight control on overheads as previoLJsly delivered. The budget
has been subjecl to sensitiwty analysis by the Senior Management Team and has been drawn on a
conservative basis with contingoncy bLJiIt in. Both siandstill and uplift scenarios show a smati
surplus.
