PEMBROKE TOWN WALLS TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Early in 2020 the Trust was progressing well with developing its plans for the restoration of the north walls, beginning with the gun platform. Funding had been secured from Pembrokeshire County Council's Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant, and a grant had been approved by Cad subject to our going out to tender to appoint a contractor. With their agreement, an expression of interest had been submitted to the National Lottery Fund for Heritage for a development grant of up to £250,000.
Seven construction students at Pembrokeshire College had completed a short one-term course in heritage stone masonry run by the Typw Centre, funded by PTWT. We were looking forward to being able to provide them with work experience with the contractor working on the gun platform.
Regrettably the National Lowdown due to the Covin 19 pandemic in March caused the cancellation of the AGM and halted the delivery of the north walls project and our ability to provide work experience for the students.
In April an application was submitted to the WCVA Third Sector Resilience Fund for £7,000 of funding to help us continue our activities through the Lowdown. A grant of £5,250 was approved in June, together with an interest free loan of £1,750. This was a great help to us continuing with our work and covering our overheads while maintaining sufficient reserves. We were unable to raise funds through the usual events but in December established a Pledge a Stone scheme for funding to continue the work on the gun platform in 2021.
Dorian Phillips & Co. was selected as the Stonemasonry Contractor as an outcome of the tender process and work eventually commenced in September on the gun platform to repair a major and dangerous crack, following the approval of a test patch by Cadw. Through contact with Cyfle, an organisation that obtains placements for apprentices and work experience for students, a student from Monkton was taken on for work experience and then as an apprentice by a contractor. The front gable wall of the gun platform was completed by the end of the year despite dreadful weather and Covid 19 interrupting progress.
Further work was done on developing the project plan to lease walls and land from the owners and communication with owners continues. Trustees met online and, when possible, onsite with Angela Burns MS for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire; Cllr Aaron Carey County Councillor for Pembroke St Mary South and Matt Pyart, the Historic Building Conservation Officer with Pembrokeshire County Council. All gave their approval and support for our work and plans.
Three trustees recruited in 2019 all resigned for various understandable personal reasons over the year. The National Lottery Fund for Heritage rejected an expression of interest on the grounds that they could not fund privately owned property.
The Heritage Forum, an outcome of the successful Pilot Project, became more extensive than just Pembroke and so was handed to PLANED, a county wide organisation, to manage and is now running well as the Pembrokeshire Heritage Forum.
A new website was completed ready to launch in the New Year. The contract was awarded to a graduate of the Tanyard Youth Club Postcards and Podcasts Project mentored by the PTWT. The young lady decided to set-up in business as a Web Developer because of her experience in the Project.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the operational free reserves of the charity, at a level that provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and to support occasional unforeseen items of expenditure.

FUTURE PLANS
The Trust is continuing to develop its plans to work with owners to lease their boundary walls and up to 10m of land inside their walls to enable us to secure funding as a leaseholder.
The Trust plans to secure funding to run a pilot scheme with six owners that can be used to encourage all owners to work with us in the future.
Pembrokeshire Built Heritage Community Interest Company has been set up with four Directors to manage activities on the walls and buildings going forward.
In 2021 we will establish a Community Benefit Scheme to complete the basis of an effective and sustainable charitable structure.
