Section D                      Achievements and performance 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The trustees held 5 virtual meetings during the year 2019/2020, via online video conferencing, to conduct the general business of the charity, to receive reports and to supervise the activities of the HSMP’s Fund Raising Committee. Work was started in early 2020 but had to stop due to Covid-19. When it re-started after the first lockdown, another bat survey was required where a roosting bat was found. This threatened to hold up the project but our architectural consultants managed to agree to a mitigation scheme being put in place with AMPA. Since restarting: The mezzanine has been built in the north chamber. Unsafe shelving has been removed from the south chamber and new shelving erected. Scheduled Monument consent has been requested regarding a new door for the gatehouse. Several assessments of the stones have been undertaken as it is important that the best stones of each type are kept for display. The remains of the coffin found whilst assessing the stones (thought to be that of Geoffrey de Clinton) is of National significance and worth Heritage notice.  The trustees have contacted various departments to inform them. Discussions are ongoing as to where the coffin will be displayed and who will rebuild it. Significant funds were raised from our annual Christmas Card sale and funding was requested and donated from Kenilworth Town Council and local groups. 

No fund raising events were held this year due to Covid-19.
