THE BXNfjHAM HALL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025 PZNANCIAL REVIEW Flnancijl p051tion Income from other tradlng artlvltles In 2025 remalned very conslstent wlth last year wlth an Increase of 2.78%; Income from the stock ol resldentlal let propertles Increased by 13.40/9, de5plte several propertles beln9 vacant and refurbished in the year. Hall Income de¢ased by 17% as the Trust contlnued to develop the proposltion of the upgraded Hall Expendlture dropped markedly In the year due In part to the flnal payments for the upgraded èudlo and Ilghtlng systems wlthln the Hall. Hall repair expenditure dropped by 54% and, due to close management of the resldenllal refurblshment costs, SIdentIal property paIr cost5 also¥ reduced by 47%. Overall expenditure on repairs therefore dropped by 49.5%, 0 very pleasing sUIt Sn thls current economlc ellmate. Total expendlture for the year reflected a reductlon of 15Wo on 2024, Thls Is due to a number of factors, not least the ongolng acllve revlews conducted by the Flnan¢e Committee and Trustees. Overall, when all thlng5 are consldered, a solld year of actlvlty agaln5t a currently challenglng economlc cllmate. The projects achleved to date have resulted In a more marketable Hall venue for more high-profile events; propertles belng refurblshed to a hlgh standard have reflected an Increase In the rental incorne. All these projects have been costed and flnanced wlthln the Trust'5 resources, without the need to ralse any external fundlng to achleve thls. There are obvltsusly, a number of current and future challenges out the for the Trust to be mIndl of.. the current unpredlctable eeonomlc envlronment leads to Increased cost5 above the board almost all well beyond the stated rate of inflatlon,. the dlsposable Income of an Indlvldual 15 reduced and thu5 has reflected In a number of events beln9 cancelled, or les5 well attended. the ever Increaslng demands belng placed on the Trust In respect of admlnlstratlon, compllance, health and safety to name but three. All of these are a constant ¢hallengel Xnvastment pollcy and obJe¢tlve8 Under the Trust Deed, the Trust has the power to make any Investment whlch the trustees see fit. The Trustees have considered the most approprlate pollcy for Investlng funds and have found that COIF ICh3ritles Offlclal Investment Fund), Natlonal Savlngs, short term Ilxed rate bank Investments and bulldln9 50ciety investment accounts generally meet the qUIreMentS of both Income and capltal growth. Thls strategy allows for ac¢ess to funds an immedlate basls as well as the opportunlty to ttract a fair return on mr>nles Invested In the short term. The trustees conslder the a¢cesslblllty of funds and return on Investments to be 5at15factory, glven the contlnued cllmate of low Interest rates. Pa9e 2
THE BINGHAM HALL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025 FXNANCIAL REVXEW Reserves pollcy The Blnghatn Hall Trust derlves Income frorn two maln sources,. the lettlng of the 23 propertles owned by the Trust and the hlrlng out of the Hall and a550ciated rooms. Whllsl the rental Sncome from propertles 55 guaranteed L*P to a polnt, the Income from Hall hlrlng Is le55 50. It 15 therefore lrnportant to ensure there are sufficient funds £vallable to tlde the Trust In the event of a temporary gap In Income, If exlstlng stsurtss af Income are lost The oblettlve of the Hall, a5 Qulllned in the orlglnal indenture, Is to provlde accesslble space lor the local communlty and surroundlng parlshe5 for the furtherance of lelsure actlvltSes, Includbng the malntenance of a rlfle range. Income for these a¢tlvltle5 15 to be raised through the hiring of the Hall and letting of the sld&ntial propertles. The incorne derived from the residentlal propertles are on tenancy agreèments and provlde èn amount of certalnty. The Trustees are mlndfvl that cash should be kept In reserve for specific rea50n5 and that cash balances should not be only Invested. However, the de55re to fund major projects wlthout external fundlng Is key to the Trustees thlnklng thls Is achleved through sensSble plannlng by the FlnanTr and Bulldlngs Commlttees for known event5 as well as unexpected requlrements. Pactors tak•n Into consldÈratlon The challenge facing the Tru5tee5 Is a akln to a set of balance scales on the one slde there Is a need to ensure the fabrlc of all the Trust's premlses a malnt<in¢d tp an acceptable standard wlth the ablllty to upgradelmodernlse as opportunltles arlse. On the countÈr 5Sde, the Trustees are requlred to ensure there Is sufflclent inEome 9enerated to ensure that these obJ"ectlves can be met as well as ensurlng there Is robust reserves pollcy to mltlgate any unforeseen events. Income is generated from all resldentlal propertles and the Hall and It's assoclated space. The Income Fmm resldentlal lettlng5 can be seen as regular Income, wlth the occupancy rate remalnlng conslstently very high. Income from Hall and assoclated space hSrlng 15 le55 guaranteed. Pollcv The Finance Cornmittee have considered all of the sallent facts and conslder It approprlate to ensure that flgure equlvalent to an average of 6 months expendlture be retained In reserve to ensure that the main operations of the Trust can contlnue. However, should thls level of reserve be temporarlly brought under pressure by a slgnlflcant palr project, the Flnance Commlttee wlll ensure an approprlate plan is 1nstlgaled to replenlsh the balance to the agreed level no later than slx months of thls balance belng reduced. This policy is reviewed annually by the Flnance Commlttee to conslder Its sultablllty taklng Into account any changes to the Trust's buslness or Infrastructure or prevalling market condltion5. Golng con¢¢rn The Trustees have consldered the forthcoming period and are happy that due to the level of reserves I the charlty and the tenancy èoreements they have In place In regards to the sIdentIal propertles the golng concern princlple remalns approprlate.

THE BINGHAM HALL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2025 FUTURE PLANS A5 part of the ongolng Governance struttu of the Trust, the Bv)rd of Trustees continually review and asses9 the core objectlves of the Blngham Hall Trust, to ensure they both remaln allgned wlth the vlslons of our benefacttsr, D8nlel Bingham and contlnue to be able to adapt to the ever-changing wortd. The hallenges and expenses of compllance, malntenance, prornotion, a rapldly unpredictable and changing cllmate and general cost of Ilvlng are today far more compllcated and dlfferent to those of the 1910.5 when the Hall and resldentlal propertSes We ctsnstructed and flrst put to Use. 2025, Ilke prevlous year5, provlded the Trust with challenges several major refurblshments resldential propertles We very successfully completed., however, wlth each refurbishment the costs associated continued to Increase, monlh on month but the end result wlll hopefully ensure no Major works wlll be requlred on these propertles for the fOseeable future. The prgmotlon of the Hall and new technical infrastructure of Ilghtlng and acoustScs reaped dlvldend In th& year wlth some natlonal named perf0rrne graclng the stage. In addltlon, support contbnued for locally based events such as the annual paniomlme as well as hostlng several events for the local Hi5torlcal Soclety. The new technology, Without doubt, elevated the events markedly and Lhe plan for the upcomlng year Ss to contlnue to Invest and develop the Hall venue for more such events. Effectlvelyi 2026 vvlll be another year of gradual, solld progress of these two maln )rea$ - but of ¢¢urse, one 15 always ready for the regular unplanned" challenges that crop up. But wlth the support and sound governance of the Board of Trustees I am confident that another year of challenges will be met full on ènd 5ucce55 In many areas wlll be achleved.
