HISTORIC COVENTRY TRUST CHAIRMAN'S REI>ORT for the year end8d 31 October 2023 This has been an intense year of activity during whith the Twst has continued to red fo¢us on delivery of restorattin projects and direct its attentKJn to the managenEnl of rts ¢unpleted prc4.ects to ensure the financial ¥u$tainabilty of organlsation. The highlight of the year was undoubtedly the completion of the Charterhouse project and the official openirYJ by our Prosidenls, the Lord Lieutenant and the Lord Mayor, on 30th March 2023. The saving of this excepts'onal building, founded by Richard 11 in 1385, was the core reason for the founding of the charity in 2011. Over 11 year later and al an overall cost in excess of £10m, the doors could finally be opened, and we were ready to welcome the public. The reslor81ion of Charterhou5e has not been easy and on behaff of the Trusle8s. I would like lo thank the many people that hav8 worked on the project and supported us throughout the years. In particular I would lika lo thank National Lottery Heritage Fund and Coventry Cty Cwn¢il foT their solid support throughout project but particularfy in response lo the challenges of the pandemic and constructiorb CO81 infialion. short before the start of the year we welcomed our new Executive Director, Anne Cranston. Anne led a btg effort that involved all the staff lo prepare Charterhouse for opening. The TnJ5t had nèvèr Intended to run the Charterhouse diredly and looking back now ff wa¥ a challenging task for a learn with little experience of setting up a new visitor attraction. 11 was h¢eVed $ucce¥sfv1ty, btrt il 8180 diverted staff from other prioriUe3 lar the six months before and after opening. Whilst the primary fru8 during the year was on setting up and opèrating our completed buildings. we did 8180 deliver the fabric resloralion of important buildings with Support from Historic Eng18nd and Architectural Heritage Fund. Grade 2. Listed Vvhrtefnars Gale, was built in the late 13008 as the gate lo Covenlry's Carmelite Monastery. Thi8 much-loved buikling was for many years the city's Toy Museum and bizarrely made the national pies8 in 2014 when Someone noticed rts nnnY r¢$emblance lo comedian Alan Carr. The other buikJing was the Nonconfomiist Chapel in London Rd Cemetery which is also Grade 2. Li31ed and was designed by Joseph Paxton. This neoclassical chapel is a major feature of the Grade 1 Listed cemetery, which is one of the lop five in the country. The Trust already owns the Anglican Chapel which f( operalos as a c¢)mmunty venue for hire. We al80 run an activity and volunteering programrne in the cemetery supported by the Herrtage Fund. The in4eplh Search of our volunteers into the lives of those buried in the cemetery has uncovered fascinating and forgotten 5torie8 of the past. The restoration ol both buildings was limited lo the external envelop8 only, wlh further funding required for the Trust lo bring these buildlngs back into U8e. The buildings remain in the ownership of Coventry Cty Council but are intended lo be transfetyed to the Trust once funding for 5usl8inable reuse Is yecured. Just after the year end, we also started work on the 8ecorKi phase of the Loop Line wotsJl8nd cycling ar walking path fundeil by Sevorn Trènt Communty Fund. Work completed in June 2024 on Ihls 300m 8ectlon. with the final phase now being worked up wrth the Council and our Herrtage Park partner, John Muir Trust. We were very pleased lo develop our partnership wrth John Muir Trust during the year and welcome the subslanlial expertise and resource that they bring lo our plans lo improving community acce8s lo this wildlrfe rich area. When cnPleted the full 1km L¢)Dp Line will eonnect the Heritage Park wi(h the surrounding communrties and Provide aleisure 0dlaThd walk forvisitor3 to Chart8thouse. 0ratIOnal Chall6ng68 In the latter part ol Ihg year and in the Gubsequenl months, the Trust has taken action lo stem operating e and boost revenue to achieve financial sustainability. The combinalKJn of extemal factor8, such as the pandemic, Ma1 conslrudion cost inflation and the rise in utility costs have made this a challenging lime for all organisations. In this diffult clirnate and resuking from the Conntration of project delivery for Cty of Gullure 2021. the Trust has in effect been starting up new business on muKiple siles over a short period of li. Yel meanwhile the generous grant $4JPPOrt that we had ¥e1Ved as a Start-up Heritage Deveknpment Trust for wre central staff has expired. At c*Jr tsvo major public bulldings, Drapers. Hall and Charterhouse. the operating Gosts wwe higher than expected éue to inflation, and particularty Ihe increase in energy costs. Effective business planning and management ot expenditure ha5 been incwdibly difficult due to overbilling on new accounts by the utilty companies and the almost impossible exercise of raty'onalising their accounts and securing credtts back foT overpayments. Meanwhile inccme from hires and paying visitors ha$ l)een kmer than budgeted refiecting the drfficutties in the leisure sector. P4e1
HISTORIC COVENTRY TRUST CHAIRMAN'S REPORT for the year ended 31 October 2023 At Drapers, Hall. since ¢ompbtion of the restorati works, we have been operating the building ours*s as muKi-purpos8 venue, alongsido Coventry Music Semce Ipart of the Councill as our eore occupvér. The lease to CMS is inclusive of the building's running costs and utilities. with this indusive rent not covering the costs. Meanwhile their use from Monday to Wednesday has severely hampered corporate btsokings on these key workdays. Agreement ha9 been reached for the lease to be lemiinaled in Juty 2024, which will stem the losses. Thls allows 8 relaunch later in 2024 with a new external specidist venue management partner with the expertise to grow the business over a longer lem. Al Charter$e, as Is Common many herit&ae attracticffls we dosed the building for the winter in November 2023 and scalèd back on staffing to cut costs. Meanwhile we have been continuing conversattons with major national heritage partners lo tske on the operation of the building, reverting lo our onginal plan. The Trust believes that the draw of a national organisation will bring in sufficient visrtors to make the Charterhouse site sustainable. Discussions aftef the year end seem likety lo reach a positive conclusion in the Autumn cl 2024. In the interim the reduced team have concentrated on volunteering and events, with redwd op8ning at weekend5 since Easter 2024. There has been a positive change loo in the management of the visrtof accommodation at Swanswell Gate and 34 Priory Row. During the year we agreed an early lemiination of the operating 8greemenl with our foThner partner that was prcxlucing Ios8e8 r8lher Ih8n net revenue to the Trust. In March 2023 we entered into new agwmenl with fixed ren181 payments that ncw produce a signrficant net Tevenue to the Trust. The hifing of these attractive properties for visf(or short stays is doing well and adds considerabty lo the cty'$ visitor offer. Simi18rly on Drar5, 88r, the forner man8gernenl agreeffEnt with the Iralning restaurant, whKh was not generating any revenue, was leminaled just after the year end. This prominent unil w88 immedialety relet lo The Yard, th8 city's premier LGBTQ+ venue 0rator, on a fixed rental arrangement and again is addlng styJnificantly to the cashfflow. We are pleased that this resour¢g for the communty can now successfvlty continue after demolition of their previous premise8 lorthe Cty Centre South d¢v6lopmenl. The core revenue generating properties at the Burges and Hales Street continue to perform well, reflecting the $ignifitsnl improvement to the area following the fade improvements undertaken by the Trust as part of the High Street Hgrilag8 Action Zone programme which completed in 2022. Rental income has increased through active management and wherè possible lease6 are being restructured lo include service charge prowsions, ensuring funding for futur8 m81nten8nce. The final elomenl of thè Burps HSHAZ programm, fvnded by Historic EnglarKI, involves the d&culverting of the River Shert>oume in Palmer Lane lo create a new public square. Th8 plans to improve one of tho cty'8 old¢sl str¢èts has been a community aim for over 30 years. This forgotten backland are8 was a focu8 for anti.socLal behaviour and will be Iransfonned as a new public space where people for the first lime can connect wrth th8 city's river. The Trust has plans lo capitalise on this inveslrnent wrth the creation of ngw café units when funding has bagn secured. The £2.4m public realm works are being undertaken by the Council In partnership with the Trust. Thé project had been signfficanlly delayed. but l am pleased lo report that the rks aro now well underway with completion in the latter months of 2024. Tre operation of our completed project8 Is key lo the Trusfs long-lerm suslalnabilty, with the need to g8nerale gnough revenue to cover both overhead costs and also lo build up re5erve8 for future buihging maintenance. The Trust als0 aims to gwe our buildings a real purpose for the community, to engog8 people th their heritage and lo add lo the city's efforts lo )0$1 the visitor Konomy. The target has aayS been lo achieve a balance betsyeen financial sustsinabilty and community purpose. wtth 80me buiKlings working financially harder than others. During the year the Trust has faced financial challenge5 t operating ils completed buildings. We have reacted swrftly lo C costs and have reduced our core staffing with the work being undertaken by the volunteer trustees. Wrth this lower o)sl basg and with the substsnlial pr¢yJress made in re5truciuring the management of the individual bLJildings during the year and after the year etNJ, l am pleased lo say that the Trust is well on the road lo long temi sustainability. lan Harrabin MBE MRICS Chairnwn Page 2
