## Turn End Trust ## Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023 The Turn End Trust is constituted by Deed of Trust and is a registered charity, No. 1162076. The address is 2 Kindleton, Great Linford, Milton Keynes, MK14 5EA. The Charity Trustees at the end of the year to 31 December were: Aldington, Margaret Aldington, Peter Beagrie, Neil – appointed 22nd August 2023 Blagden, Sophie – appointed 25th May 2023 Collins, Gary (Secretary) Gitsham, Julian (Chair) Farmer, Lynda – appointed 28[th] August 2023 Lillycrop, Kaye Warnock-Smith, Neil Additions to the Board of Trustees during 2023 are noted above. In addition, Philip Roberts acts as Treasurer in a non-trustee capacity. 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 therefore continues to concentrate its activities on the other two requirements by each year holding a number of public events including house and garden open days, workshops and lectures. These events are well attended by the general public, student and professional architects and landscape architects. Attendees from around the world have visited Turn End at Trust events and have had the opportunity to appreciate the architecture and garden, and to experience and understand how building and garden design can be integrated in practice. The Trust found 2023 a steady year. Income from the planned events programmed ticket sales for the Open House and Garden events was maintained and sales of ‘A Garden and Three Houses’ continued once the reprint became available. Funds advanced by the Rothschild Foundation enabled the Trust to engage the services of a professional fundraiser to assist with further grant applications to support its education and outreach ambition. The total income the Trust received in the 2023 year was about £43,863. Some £16,497 of this was restricted funds from grants and donations for strategic and digital development projects. Costs were £42,840 including expenditure on the consultant fundraiser and the digital programme. The costs incurred by events also increased. At the end of the year, the Trust’s cash funds stood at about £36,839 inclusive of a ring-fenced £13,345 restricted funds The Trust has confidence that 2024 will also be successful with grant funding enabling the Trust to continue its strategic work. The Trust will also be seeking to increase the number of trustees with specific skills aligned with and supporting the Trust’s future planning.
