TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Achievements and performance
2020 was set to be a turning point in the regeneration of Wentworth Woodhouse. Visitor numbers were rising, and an annual programme of events was well-
roof was soon to come to an end, protecting some of the most vulnerable areas of the building. But just three years into our mission to prevent the site from financial and physical collapse an unexpected and very serious challenge tested us to our core. As the financial year 19-20 came to a close we had become aware of a virus called COVID-19 that had started to spread across the globe. By April 2020, the start of this reporting period, the immediate effects of that pandemic had started to hit in the UK, and Wentworth Woodhouse was closed to the staff and public for the first time since the Trust took ownership of the site. Little did we know of the extraordinary events that were about to unfold and to change the way we live, possibly forever.
The Chair and CEO of WWPT had met with staff in March 2020 when it first became apparent that the site would temporarily close. Tours and e abrupt halt. By 20[th] of that month, all staff and volunteers took to the safety of their homes as we awaited Government announcements. immediately into furlough, income dropped overnight, and the business plan became redundant. For the Trust there were three key priorities: keeping the staff safe and informed, retaining jobs and maintaining the capital works programme.
Regeneration capital works
As the first lockdown hit in March 2020, the Phase 2 capital works had to close. This was a devastating blow to the project, the financial implications of which could easily have tipped the Trust over the edge. Scaffold hire costs alone at £30,000 per month meant that any delay to the programme would result in an extensive hike in the costs and we would have run out of money before we completed the project.
Our main contractors the Woodhead Group set about finding solutions; Stonemasons took their work home with them, setting up their own temporary workstations in their gardens so that they could continue with their skilled carving. Site Manager Andy Stamford worked closely with the health and safety advisors to create safe systems of working across the scaffolded site, and on 5[th] May the workforce of roofers and stone masons returned. Incredibly, there was little impact to the overall programme and when the project came to an end recently it still managed to come in just under budget.
Much of the damage done in the past was due to water ingress as a result of poor maintenance, mainly caused by a lack of safe access to the roofs. Today the roof works to the main block of the East Front are all complete, and new interventions have been made to make the on-going maintenance of the roofs, hoppers and gutters much more accessible in future including wider lead reservoirs to collect and hold the increased rainfall.
In October 2020, we were informed that a bid we had submitted as part of a consortium bid from the Historic Houses Association had been successful and that a grant from Historic England of £331,200 had been awarded from the Heritage .57bn Culture Recovery Fund for Heritage. The Trust was able to install a temporary heating system and forge ahead with enabling works which will allow us to introduce a ground-source heat pump system in the future. The heating system, fired by gas, meant that at last the mansion could be warm again after many cold and damp months. Installing it was no easy task but was actually made easier by the fact the site was closed and the contractors were not having to work around visitors. This principle applied to the other repairs made as part of

this project including urgent repairs to underground drainage, a new water mains connection and the removal of asbestos
In November, a further £811,000 was awarded by Historic England as part set aside to restart heritage construction and maintenance projects hit by the pandemic and save jobs in the sector. It is paying for further vital roof repairs at each end of the East Front - on the North Pavilion, North and South Quadrants, the sustainability and support jobs in construction and traditional crafts. The work to the North Pavilion, involves restoring the roof, stonework repairs, meticulous conservation to the two clock faces, cornices, weathervane and repairs to the guttering. We are very grateful for these grants and to those who helped us to raise the match funding of £129,595 required.
Barnsley-based clock restoration specialist Andrew Bates, of Bygone Times, who is freely giving us his expertise and is painstakingly restoring the clock mechanisms and hands to their former glory. Scaffolding, a now familiar site at Wentworth Woodhouse, encases the North Pavilion and is, in itself, another feat of engineering. It is designed to work around the existing buildings without impacting on historic fabric. Approximately 150 tonnes of scaffolding towers 22m into the sky to facilitate the repairs, laid end to end it would stretch 12km. In addition to working with the physical restrictions of adjacent structures, no holes can be made in the walls of the listed building to fix the scaffolding in place. Instead, friction ties are used, whereby the scaffold rests against the building on friction pads. The project shows the continued investment in protecting Wentworth Woodhouse for generations to come.
The team celebrated a key milestone on 17[th] February 2021 as the 400kg weathervane was carefully removed by crane for conservation. The North Pavilion repairs are expected to take in the region of six months to complete.
The 20-year Masterplan to rescue Wentworth Woodhouse is broken down into manageable phases, based on urgency of repair, ability of the new use to generate income to be self-sustaining, and the ability to attract funding. In January 2021 the Architect and QS were appointed to commence the design of the next major phase of regeneration work, for, the Camellia House, a new car park and the South Stables development.
Engagement
The Flock
to contribute to its future.
One of the greatest achievements of the year involved thousands of local people in the creation of The Flock, an art installation to mark the effects of COVID-19 - positive and negative - on the community. The installation saw 10,000 small wooden birds, hand-
engage with the arts, culture and heritage on their doorstep during the pandemic. Their moving and thought-provoking display, a golden land-art tree which acted as a roost to the birds, attracted people from across the region, thousands of whom decorated a bird with words, collages and images expressing the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic had on them and their memories or thoughts on Wentworth Woodhouse.

It was free to take part, but people who could afford to make much needed donations to help carry the Trust through the pandemic. The birds were distributed by staff and volunteers at sites in the local community and in the gardens of Wentworth Woodhouse, where we staged regular craft workshops over the summer. (Government guidelines on social distancing rules and safety were carefully followed throughout).
The project was so successful that a similar scheme is currently being rolled out this year where supporters are being asked to get crafty and pen their best ideas on a hand-made camellia flower or carriage horse. Garden workshops, making paper blooms and horses are some of the imaginative ways for the public to express their hopes for the site. Ideas from the public and enjoy new experiences. These will run alongside future regeneration projects at the Camellia House, Stables and Riding School. Thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NHLF), Activity Planning Consultant Dr Suzanne Carter has been commissioned to carry out engagement and consultation work and develop ideas for a four-year programme of activities. A plan for events, community projects and engagement will second-round of grants later this year.
Supporters were also urged to get creative during Lockdown by creating their own masterpieces as the Trust launched a Lockdown Art Contest the winner of which saw their design loud and proud on the front of Wentworth Woodhouse er fundraising T-shirt. Entries came from near and as far away as Australia - paintings, sketches, models and even a pavement chalk picture depicting the life and times of the Big House were created by supporters aged from two to 75. The top entry - which -ever fundraising T-shirt - had been gathering dust in an attic for 13 years! Rawmarsh mum Zoe Rowbottom created the stylish graphic as a 20-yearNorton College. Now a business analyst at Irwin Mitchell in Sheffield she remembered her design when she heard about the contest and it proved to be a winner!
- the Trust plan to use it on a new product range for the gift shop. It is a first commission for Ellie, who has just completed her studies at Leeds University. Her intricate repeat-print features scenes from the house and grounds. Bury artist Glenn Jones, 48, won first prize in the over 18s group with his digitally created image of the Marble Saloon floor. Ellen Stockdale, aged 16, from The Brecks, Rotherham, took first prize in the 13-year-old Lucy Redfern, of Wiltshire, was another winner. Lucy, whose grandparents live in Brampton Bierlow, created a huge model of the house from cardboard. Reggie Small, aged four, from Mexborough, spent four days perfecting his winning painting of the house.
Opportunities
Fundraising
Fundraising is key to everything we do and over the course of the year a number of activities took place and funding bids were submitted in order to progress the development of the site.
During the period from April 2020 to March 2021 the Trust attracted £304,945 through fundraising activities of which £254,948 was restricted.
The Trust is not currently part of a voluntary scheme for regulating but as we expand our fundraising activities, we will look to join a scheme. We have not received any complaints with regards to our fundraising.

The swift arrival of £240,900 from an emergency funding pot in 9 July 2020, granted by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, gave the Trust three months of vital breathing space. It kept the wolf from the door, paying running costs from June to September 2020. It also allowed a very limited number of staff to return to work, monitoring the capital works as they restarted and creating an emergency fundraising plan. This included the development of an on-line shop in addition to a stand in the garden from which volunteers could attract donations for a selection of items. These comprised of wonderful prints and canvases of Wentworth Woodhouse by Sheffield based artist Joe Scarborough, the original of which was commissioned by Chair Dame Julie Kenny and is to place on long-term loan within the house, the prints kindly donated by her, original boxed Westmorland slates removed from the East Front roof during the repair programme, t-shirts emblazed with Zoe Ro new guidebooks, and photographs taken by our very own resident photographer David Sowter. Over the course of the year staff and volunteers managed to raise a whopping £62,417 from fundraising activities, helping to ensure that the Trust could continue its work providing opportunities for the people of South Yorkshire. The Flock is once again playing an important role in fundraising for
hand-selected and given a new lease of life as utterly unique, hand-crafted artworks. The now transformed framed, wallmountable images or individual, freestanding displays are now being sold to raise further funds.

Reach New Audiences
The Gardens
The team swiftly realised a COVID55-acre garden was to become our salvation over the course of 2020.
By the summer, the woodland copses, wildflower meadows and rambling lawns - once beautified by famed Georgian landscape gardener Sir Humphrey Repton - had been thrown open to paying visitors for the first time. This attracted a whole new family audience to the site and over the course of the year 35,832 people visited. That is more than all of our house tour visitors in the previous three years put together.
The mansion was open for just a few weeks over the summer holidays, but the gardens opened for much of the year and will continue to open to the public post pandemic. The gardens brought income, but also gave people a beautiful, relaxing place to exercise and unwind during such a difficult time. We were able to provide outdoor catering with food trailers stocked up with food and drink, outdoor toilets and hand-washing stations and lawn games. The WWPT team follows a thorough COVID-19 safety protocol, disinfecting equipment and facilities throughout the day and visitors are asked to pay attention to safety signage and one-way systems during their stay.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
As the pandemic continued to affect the way we all live, a further funding round was announced by the Government, the Culture Recovery Fund. A grant, distributed by the National Lottery Heritage Fund of £468,282 was awarded in October 2020 to help the Trust survive and thrive in the run up to winter from November 2020 to March 2021. This, along with a Government Bounce Back Loan, allowed us to rethink our strategy and focus on diversifying the business to really encompass the outdoor offer and to launch a new digital department.
Two new food trailers were purchased, the first to provide drinks and snacks for visitors to the garden and the second to provide a take-out service on the East Front. A further round of funding the Culture Recovery Fund 21, provided a further grant through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, allowing us to build on this, purchasing a mobile classroom for the realised that people needed to feel safe and protected and staff and volunteers soon adapted by using new PPE, creating new methods of working and safe visitor routes. Although the house remained closed for much of the year, we were able to continue to safely welcome visitors and generate income from new activities based outdoors.
Professionalism
Though we were closed for many months of the year and could only deliver a very restricted indoor offer when guidelines were relaxed over the summer, we became very determined to take our new diversified business plan and build on it, bringing in some new roles and expertise to support this.
Three new posts were created, utilising the Culture Recovery Funding including a COO, Head of Hospitality and a Digital Programme Manager. Chief Operating Officer Paula Kaye, is an accomplished hospitality and retail director who made her mark with world-class food brands Betty's Tea Rooms and Taylor's of Harrogate at both strategic and operational levels.

Head of Hospitality, Darren Procter, joined Wentworth from Sheffield Hallam University, where as Executive Chef he developed the campus food offer and oversaw all catering operations. Darren previously ran his own restaurant in Cornwall and brings a passion for sustainability and supporting local producers to the menus at Wentworth.
Olympic Park and English Heritage sites Dover Castle and Osborne House to the WWPT events programme.
In addition to the new permanent staff positions, a number of new consultants positions were commissioned during the year. Dr Suzanne Carter joined as the Activity Planner, Sheila McGregor as Evaluator, Access4All to provide accessibility advice, Sally Prothero and Johnnie Phibbs as Garden and Landscape Masterplanners and Winster Marsh as Branding Consultants. All of these commissions are being funded through the development phase of the Camellia House project.
Apprenticeships
The Trust employs two apprentices within the administration function and our main contractor and sub-contractors have also hosted two apprentices throughout the contract works programme. Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust remains fully committed to training and professional development of staff and volunteers.
Volunteering
Due to the national lockdown, no volunteering could be delivered until July 2020, and then another lockdown and further restrictions followed in November 2020 until March 2021. Which meant that volunteering at Wentworth was seriously limited over the course of the year. The volunteer team came together exceptionally well to support each other and the business throughout an extremely very difficult time and we are extremely grateful for their loyalty.
Despite the restrictions Between July 2020 and March 2021, volunteers contributed 11,094 hours to the business.
On 4[th] July 2020 the gardens were opened to the public for the first time on a free-flow advance booking basis and a team of volunteers was needed to support this new venture. The volunteer coordinator returned to work from furlough to facilitate the opening of the gardens with the Open Gardens Support Team (OGST). Open Gardens Support Team - contributed over 2,500 hours to the running of the open gardens.
In October the house finally reopened but on an advance booking free-flow basis. This new way of seeing the house interiors (previously we had only offered tours) required volunteer room stewards training was held, and the Open House Support Team contributed 732.5 hours to opening the house during October and early November. Despite the restrictions 354 hours of training were completed over the year including access for all, customer service, OGST and room steward training.

As the usual quarterly update and social meetings were unable to be held this year, communications with our volunteers became a real challenge but before being furloughed, the volunteer coordinator contacted all the volunteers and sought responded and were sent a weekly lightopen. The missives ran to 31 editions, 37,500 words, innumerable photos and 107 sides of A4. Our thanks go to Alison Constantine, our very devoted Volunteer Co-ordinator for her dedication to friendships and for keeping everybody engaged and positive during this time.
Fundraising was more important than ever, and our fantastic volunteers contributed 766 hours of their time to helping the Trust raise much needed income by selling our bespoke items such as roof slates and canvas prints, as well as giving time Likewise, the retail volunteers continued to come into work when it was safe to do so and contributed 165 hours to making a success of the shop.
The Garden became one of the few areas where volunteers were able to return reasonably early on in the pandemic. The gardening teams contributed a total of 2440 hours, including 457 hours in March to install the new paths which look splendid.
Maintenance volunteers contributed 1461.5 hours and this year their focus extended to making bespoke items for the gardens such as bin housings, as well as maintenance within the house.
As part of our plans to diversify our business model a new digital programme was established at the end of 2020 and two new Digital Production teams of volunteers created and trained to use specialist equipment, lighting, filming and editing suites so that WWPT could start to document the progress of the restoration and the work of the Trust by way of film documentaries. As most of the training took place at home it has not been possible to track the number of hours volunteers dedicated to the task but our thanks go to them all and particularly Steve Ash, who led the programme and himself gave over 700 hours of his time to ensuring its success.
Many other hours were given across tours, events, housekeeping, research, car parking, and buggy driving. We aim to recruit further members from all across society to help us continue with our extraordinary journey to the future of a selfsustaining Wentworth Woodhouse. The work of the Trust simply would not be possible without our army of volunteers and our thanks goes to each and every one of them.
Caring for the Environment
Redeveloping the Grade II* listed Camellia House into a daytime cafe and evening events venue is Wentworth Woodhouse phase of the project this year thanks to grant funding awarded from a number of grant givers including the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Architectural Heritage Fund, the Pilgrim Trust, the Fitzwilliam Wentworth Amenities Trust, Ian Addison Charitable Trust, Historic England and the Garfield Weston Foundation. The project includes plans to take the building back to its original use - in 1738 it was an orangery with a tearoom created for Lady Rockingham, wife of the 1st Marquess, to entertain her guests. It became home to camellias when the 2nd Marquess became one of the earliest English collectors of the rare blooms being brought from China and Japan in Georgian times.
Though now a shell, the building still houses some of the oldest and rarest camellias in the Western World. They will have pride of place in the new cafe and will be carefully protected during building work, which it is hoped will begin next year

In addition to the development phase of works at the Camellia House and Stables, footpaths created 200 years ago were restored in the gardens over the course of the year. Visitors can now follow the paths to t guests of the Marquess of Rockingham would once have done. The formal walking routes were likely created around the , in the early 1790s.

The local HQ of TC Harrison JCB, one of the largest JCB specialists in the UK, kindly loaned an eco-friendly E-Tech 1.5 tonne digger which delicately peeled back years of leaf mulch and mud. Path edges were manually cut by the garden volunteers, then 58 tonnes of Scottish red granite gravel were laid and levelled. Original paths would have featured -redcolliery spoil, a mining by-product available in abundance from an estate built on coal. But the material is no longer recommended as it is high in sulphate.
Diversity
The development of our 4 year Activity Plan got underway this year and is themed around Diversity and Inclusivity. Dr Suzanne Carter, who is leading the project, has been working hard to engage the diverse mix of community groups from the Rotherham area.

The chapel became the backdrop for exhibitions in 2020 when the Preservation Trust linked with Rotherham Open Arts Renaissance project (ROAR).
ROAR is an Arts Council funded National Portfolio Organisation which helps emerging local talent to find an audience and the chapel exhibitions are funded by WE Great Place project.
The chapel at Wentworth Woodhouse welcomed a thoughtwhich ended abruptly during the pandemic last year but has returned to the site more recently. Called The Suitcase, it marks the monumental life change of the first generation of Pakistani women who came to Rotherham in the 1960s, telling their stories through the memories they carried with them in hearts and luggage.
The exhibition ran briefly before the UK went into its second national lockdown on November 4, forcing the mansion to close. It captures the sight, smell, and feel of the Pakistani home through stories, poetry, visual images and video. Everyday objects the women brought with them will be on display; prayer mats, clay pots, bracelets and henna and photos of the family left behind, plus the letters that arrived from home as they navigated a new life. Thrilled to show their art work, Zanib Rasool MBE, a Rotherham writer and poet, who makes up the Zanib Collective works with Shaheen Shah, a visual artist, and oral historian Mariam Shah. Poems by famous Pakistani poets Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Mohammed Iqbal also feature.
The Suitcase h
communities feel a sense of pride and connection. With support from Rotherham Ethnic Alliance, we organised group visits share their thoughts about how we can encourage a wider range of people to visit in the future.
Innovation
We embraced the world of Digital!
Using the first emergency grant we received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, a digital audit of the site was carried out in October 2020, to help us understand what might be possible and what more might be more challenging when looking to embrace digital technology, not a straightforward exercise when dealing with an historic building. The findings of the report encouraged us to take a leap and to apply for funding from the Culture Recovery Fund, to support the purchase of mobile film studio equipment. The funding also provided training for 2 groups of volunteers to train as film production teams learning how to deliver sound, lighting, camera and scriptwriting. The teams have now made an astonishing number of behind the scenes films, over 50 to date, which can now be seen on the internal screens in reception and in the café, as well as on our new YouTube channel which will be formally launched later this year. It is hoped that the channel will bring in much needed advertising revenue. The production teams will be filming events later this year including lectures which will allow us to grow our pay as you go on-line offer. Our thanks goes to the team at Captive North who managed to redesign the training package they delivered for our volunteers so that it could taught on line rather than in person. No easy feat!
The funding from the Culture Recovery 21 grant further added to our digital expansion and allowed us to commission a new website which will go live later this year, digital games, virtual tours and a digital asset management system.

Partnerships
We simply would not have survived the year without the support of our partners. Our thanks goes to all who supported us, including funders, donors, contractors, visitors, neighbours, friends, staff and volunteers. Our special thanks must go to the National Trust for on-going support of our operations, Historic England for Heritage Stimulus grant funding and expert advice, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their support by way of the Culture Recovery Funding without which we simply would not have survived. We would also like to recognise the fantastic work carried out by Woodhead Group, particularly Andy Stamford, Captive North for the digital training, and Craig Dixon And apprentices for exquisite plaster re
Financial matters
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have considered the ongoing recovery from COVIDas well as the wider economy. Whilst it is not considered practical to accurately assess the duration and extent of the any continued disruption, the trustees are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any financial losses and cash deficits that may arise. They will continue to monitor the impact on income and take appropriate action as necessary.
The trustees do however recognise that uncertainty continues to exists around the duration and impact of COVID-19 and hence there is risk regarding the success and sustainability of these plans. However, the trustees have concluded that the charity remains a going concern whilst such viable options are available to it. The trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation for these financial statements.
b. Financial review
The charity continues to satisfy its objectives and is presently financially secure.
Total income amounted to £3,925,404 (2020: £4,479,366). Total expenditure was £4,981,601 (2020: £4,417,337) resulting in net expenditure of £1,056,197 (2020: net income of £62,029). It should be noted that of the net expenditure includes expenditure on the capital works programme.
As at 31 March 2021 funds totalled £9,454,335 (2020: £10,510,532) of which £373,649 (2020: £262,207) were unrestricted funds, £1,314,996 (2020: £2,482,635) were restricted funds and £7,765,690 (2020: £7,765,690) were endowment funds.

c. Principal risks and uncertainties
-
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
A monthly review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the Trust and the subsidiary Wentworth Woodhouse Trading Ltd face. These risks are presented in the form of 2 risk registers; Corporate Risk and Capital Works Risks. The establishment of policies, and systems to mitigate those risks identified.
-
The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Trust should these risks materialise.
Key financial risks are detailed below. Attention is also focussed on non financial risks arising from fire, health and safety, legal claims, and damage to the reputation of the Trust. These are managed by ensuring we are fully compliant with legislation, we have robust policies and procedures in place and that regular awareness training is provided for staff and volunteers working in these operational areas.
Risk 1
Insufficient income is obtained to support ongoing revenue required to maintain and manage Wentworth Woodhouse. Charity support and commercial income is not received or sufficiently generated to meet expectations.
Remedial action
Risks to revenue have arisen because of the impact of COVID-19, however, the mix of commitments from charitable sources and commercial income from several on going and proven streams, for which conservative assumptions have been made, provide a robust basis and substantially mitigate the risk.
We continue to seek charitable donations, engage the public, charities and seek to develop an active local fundraising committee.
Each departmental head is now working to a business plan and budget so as to maximise opportunities for income generation. Revenue has been secured from the National Trust to support core costs. New Government funding streams including the Heritage Stimulus Fund and Culture Recovery 3 have recently been announced. Financial reporting improvements have been made and monitoring of the financials are now being carried out by the Finance, Staffing and Audit Committee.
Risk 2
Fundraising to support revenue costs as detailed in the fundraising strategy fails to achieve targets required. Fundraising committee fails, costs cannot be met, Wentworth Woodhouse fails and closes.
Remedial Action
An experienced fundraising CEO and an influential Board of Trustees are in place. The Trust has good existing relationships with funders. A high number of volunteers are included in fundraising activities. Advantage has been taken of the Government Furlough Scheme which significantly mitigated staffing costs over the year covered in this report and continues to support some of the staff costs in 2021.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
A Fundraising Committee meets regularly. The Trust ensures donations can be easily received by way of onsite donation boxes which are now in place and social media Just Giving. The fundraising committee has a number of campaigns planned.
Risk 3
Inadequate reserves and cash flow problems. Falling income, poor financial management and accounting, lack of adequate information and profligate spending. Wentworth Woodhouse cannot meet its commitments and ceases to be a going concern.
Remedial Action
The Trust has implemented a reserves policy and monthly management accounts produced. The Trust has a strong mix of trustees with commercial, heritage and banking background. The financial Trustee plans to carry out a complete financial policies and procedures review. A new full time staff member has recently been appointed to provide further resource to the Finance Department.
Risk 4
Loss of capital due to theft or fraud. Inadequate financial controls. Reputational risk, potential for further sanctions, less resources to deliver charitable objectives.
Remedial Action
The Trust has implemented stringent financial controls and procedures. Thresholds have been introduced for all payments, and all payments require two signatures. An Anti money laundering policy has been introduced and client identification required for all transactions over £10k in value. Bank mandate and financial controls are reviewed annually.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Risk 5
The impact of COVID-19 limits visitor numbers. Lack of destination support, parking facilities etc. Poor visitor numbers equate to lower visitor spend and therefore income to sustain the House as a visitor attraction.
Remedial Action
Funding obtained from the NLHF, The Art Fund and Arts Council England has allowed the Trust to introduce new tour offerings, a digital offer and a number of new resources to encourage spend in the gardens.
d. Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the reserves held by the Trust as at 31 March 2021. The Trust needs reserves to enable it to develop its long term aims as well as ensuring the continuation of current activities. As at 31 March 2021 the Trust held reserves totalling £9,454,335, of which £7,765,690 were held in endowment funds, £1,314,996 were held in restricted funds and £373,649 were held in unrestricted funds. Free reserves as at 31 March 2021 totalled £295,089 (2020: £176,418 reserves in cash or in grant offers awarded but not yet received which will be sufficient to cover six months of its unrestricted operating costs, which currently equate to £306,633. The t are working towards achieving the free reserves target in the coming year.
e. Plans for future periods
Moving forward now that the Phase Two works have reached practical completion the Trust has clear objectives with regards to the physical development of the site: we must complete the HE funded Phase 2E works to the North Pavilion, Long Gallery Roof, and North and South Quadrants which are on schedule and which should finish before the end of the summer. This will ensure that more (although by no means all) of the most urgent roof repair and replacement works will have been delivered and some of the issues with water ingress, dry rot and the rapid deterioration of roofs will be halted.
development phase of MP1 (The Camellia House) and MP3a (the southern range of the Stables including the Riding School) must be completed and a round 2 bid submitted for consideration by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in November 2021. It is now envisaged that the delivery phase of the Camellia House will begin in mid 2022 and the Stables in 2024.
Expression of Interest brochures will be prepared for new projects covering The State Rooms, the Community Workshop at the Stables and the Bastion Wall. A viability appraisal is planned for Bedlam.
The trading company will focus on building the visitor offer particularly with reference to hospitality, retail and the garden activity trailer purchased with Culture Recovery Funding. The new Garden Cabins available for day hire are expected to bring in new income to the business.

Structure, governance and management
The Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust is a Building Preservation Trust and a company limited by guarantee. Wentworth Woodhouse Trading Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trust. At present the Trust is managed by its Trustee body, the Board of Trustees. This body usually meets bi monthly and currently has 12 members.
The responsibility for recommending the appointment of trustees to the Board rests with the Board of Trustees. Trustees are appointed on the basis of an analysis of the current skills on the Board and the need to strengthen its ability to direct the affairs of the Trust, and the individual ability of any nominee to meet the perceived gap in skills and other qualities that they may bring to the Trust.
All trustees receive a copy of the Constitution, the latest guidance from the Charity Commission on the role of an effective trustee and an organigram detailing the executive structure of both the Trust and the trading company. They all attend tours of the house and gardens and meet with the CEO in advance of their formal appointment.
Within the Board of Trustees there are two sub committees: the Finance, Staffing and Audit Committee and the Capital Works Project Steering Group (which has Trustee representation within its membership).
Key management personnel remuneration policy
The trustees delegate the day to day management of the charity to the key management personnel. Remuneration for key management personnel is determined by the Board of Trustees. Levels are established from a review of the objectives of the charity, the tasks to be achieved, the responsibility of the role and breath of skills required. In addition, levels are benchmarked within the locality and within the heritage sector.
Third party indemnity provisions
Insurance for trustees against liabilities in relation to the company, as permitted by the Companies Act 2006, is maintained under a policy held by Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust.

WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST IA company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF WENTWORTH WOODHOUSE PRESERVATION TRUST ICONTINUEDI Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statèments We have appointed auditor under the Cornpanies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report with those Act5. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material mi55tatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 155ue an auditor's report that include5 our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of user5 taken on the ba515 of these financial Statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or rectsgnise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations., we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charitable cornpany through disCU55ion5 Wlth directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experiences of the charity's sector,. we focussed on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charitable company, including Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, employment and health and safety legi51ation,' we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence throughout,. identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-cornpliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by,. making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-cornpliance with laws and regulation5 to enquiry of the director'5 and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
