Trustees continued to advocate for the preservation of the building which included meetings with local Councillors to lobby for planning enforcement action by the Local Planning Authority. 

We also met with a wide variety of local stakeholders to gain support and advice on how best to preserve the building from further decay. We also explored options on how the Trust could best be able to return the building to community ownership. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

In shaping our objectives and planning our activities, the trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

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

The Trust successfully appointed four new Trustees who significantly expanded our collective skills and experience base. We are also confident that the Trust now has much improved community representation. 

Trustees were also instrumental in ensuring that a Conservation Management Plan was both commissioned and then made public, after being funded by public bodies. 

This brings a much needed up to date assessment of the building as well as making clear the important historic place the building has in the town. 

The included Condition Report will be an essential document in applying for grants to restore the fabric of the building. 

We also provided a considerable level of scrutiny to the actions of local public authorities in relation to the building, such as planning enforcement. 

We raised public awareness by issuing press releases, which resulted in a number of articles.
