Turn End Trust
Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2021
The Turn End Trust is constituted by Deed of Trust and is a registered charity, No. 1162076. The address is Sadlers Barn, Long Wittenham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14 4QW. The Charity Trustees at the end of the year to 31 December were:
Mr Gary Collins (Chair) Mr Julian Gitsham (Secretary) Mrs Margaret Aldington Mr Peter Aldington Dr Kaye Lillycrop Mr Neil Warnock-Smith
In addition, Mr Philip Roberts acts as Treasurer in a non-Trustee capacity.
There were three changes to the Board of Trustees during the year with Karen Fitzsimon, Jane Lillystone and Mark Sharratt resigning from their positions.
The Trust was set up to (i) conserve and maintain the Turn End estate; (ii) help the advancement of education and scholarship in the art of building and garden design and seek to foster the integration of these two disciplines; and (iii) promote public knowledge and understanding of architecture, planning, landscape architecture and other creative arts. Until such time as the Turn End estate is gifted to the Trust, it is unable to fulfil the first of these requirements other than to fully understand the construction of the three listed buildings and the administration of the estate. The Trust has therefore concentrated its activities on the other two by each year holding a number of public events including house and garden open days, workshops and lectures. With the exception of 2020 due to Covid restrictions, these events have been well attended by the general public, and many student and professional architects and landscape architects from around the world have taken the opportunity to visit Turn End at Trust events to appreciate the architecture and garden, and to experience and understand how building and garden design can be integrated in practice.
With the gradual lifting of Covid restrictions, the Trust found 2021 a much more positive year. Almost all its planned events went ahead albeit with restricted numbers and pre-booking in place for garden and house visits. The Trust continued to receive welcome income from the sales of its book, ‘A Garden and Three Houses’ from its website and by its book distributor, sales of the Turn End DVD and improved uptake of its Friends scheme. With the support of grant funding, the Trust have also began to develop an enhanced digital offer of short films and livestream events to reach a wider audience. The Trust was also successful in an application for Heritage Compass training and support to provide assistance with strategic planning and governance. No commercial fundraisers were used by the Trust.
The total income the Trust received in the 2021 year was approximately £30,400. £15,000 of this is restricted funds from grants and donations for strategic and digital development projects. Costs were almost £14,000 which includes expenditure on the digital project and in addition, a laptop was purchased at a cost of £1,848. At the end of the year, the Trust’s bank balance now stands at just over £28,400 inclusive of a ring-fenced £9,697 restricted funds
The disappointing 2020 year, helped make the Trust realise that it needs to look further into the future with its development plans. A Trust Strategy Group was formed in 2020 and with Heritage Compass support, has been actively looking at the Trust operational delivery structure, funding, audience development, sustainability and the future management of the Turn End Estate.
The positive results for 2021 give the Trust confidence that 2022 will be equally successful, with an increased number of physical events planned and the launch of a new digital event programme.
