## **Turn End Trust** ## **Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024** Turn End Trust is constituted by Deed of Trust and is a registered charity, No. 1162076. Its 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 Stone (nee Blagden), Sophie Collins, Gary (Secretary) Gitsham, Julian (Chair) Farmer, Lynda Lillycrop, Kaye (resigned 14[th] July 2024) Laura London (appointed 14[th] May 2024) Warnock-Smith, Neil 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 Properties and Garden; (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 seek fully to understand the construction of the three listed buildings and manner in which they are administered. The Trust therefore continues to concentrate its activities on (ii) and (iii) by holding public events such as house and garden open days, workshops and lectures attended by the general public, student and professional architects and landscape architects. Trust events at Turn End continue to attract attendees from near and far who have 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 2024 a steady year despite events being impacted because access to the garden was restricted for necessary maintenance. There was some reduction in income from planned events and ticket sales for the Open House and Garden events but sales of ‘A Garden and Three Houses’ increased. Further funds advanced by the Rothschild Foundation enabled completion of a report on future fundraising and endowment and allowed the Trust to commence an organizational development project called Towards Turn End 2045: Building the Future. The total income the Trust received in the 2024 year was about £48,418. Some £19,707 of this was restricted funds from grants and donations for strategic and other projects. Costs were £29,386 including expenditure on consultants dealing with the fundraising and endowment report and the organizational development project. The costs incurred by events decreased. At the end of the year, the Trust’s cash funds stood at about £ 55,871 inclusive of ring-fenced, restricted funds of £20,219. The Trust has confidence that 2025 will also be successful with additional grant funding for a community engagement officer. The Trust will also continue to seek to increase the number of trustees with specific skills aligned with and supporting the Trust’s future planning.
