Horllago Page 003 Who we are and what we do The 'Architectural Heritage Fund IAHFI 15 a registered charity, founded in 1976 to promote the conservation and sustainable reuse of historic buildings for the benefit of communities across the UK, particularly in economically dlsadvantaged areas. Purpose The AHF exist5 to help communltSes flnd enterprSslng ways to revitalise the old buildings they love. We help them with advices grants and loans. Our sUPPOrt acts as a catalyst for puttlng sUStaSnable heritage at the heart of vlbrant lotal economies. For nearly 50 years, we've been the leadln8 soclal Investor in creatin8 new futures for historic buildings.
AHF Transformlng Heiitage Page 004 Chairfs introdurtlon As Chair, l am constantly amazed by and proud of the impact that the AHF achieve5 around the UK. The best way to understand that impact is to visit the place5 we are working, especially those where we are working most extensively. The towns in which our Heritage Development Trusts are located are examples of such places. and so in February the AHF Board went to find out more about the work of Luton Culture Trust, a vlsit that provided a perfect case study of the impact thal we are aiming to foster throughout the UK. Luton Culture Trust ILCTI is one of our current cohort of Heritage Development Trust5- specialist heritage and culture-led regeneration social enterprises - and is particularly seeking to have impact within Luton's former Hat District, within the town centre. We were lucky to be joined by a number of our partners, including Eilish McGuiness, CEO of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and Nlck Temple, CEO of the Social Investment Busines5. We heard from LCT about how they are taking forward a number of ambitious projects that speak to Luton's history as a place of manufacture but which will bring the heritage assets and uses up to date, and meet a range of community, cultural and economic needs. Understanding the work of the other Heritage Development Trust5 has been a real highlight of the year. and we are looking forward to how we can further develop and extend this programme in future years. l also visited Northern Ireland and was able to meet the Communities Minister. Gordon Lyons, in Belfast. A5 well as discussing the progress of the Village Catalyst scheme5, we were able to outline the potential for more investment in vacant market town properties that could help meet local demand for homes. Historic buildings offer great potential to be reused for housing, and l am pleased to see us funding organisations like East 8elfast Mission that have plans to redevelop a building into affordable housing and social enterprise retail unit. Good governante requires us to refresh our Board members, although that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to some longstanding and highly regarded trustees. So it is with Ereat sadness we sald goodbye to Roy Hodson, our long-serving Chair of the Audit and Risk Commlttee. Roy has been a hugely influential member of the Board for the past nine years. and his sage, calm advice will be greatly missed. We also said goodbye to Suzanne Snowden, who has been part of both the Audit and Risk Committee and founder member of the AHF'S communications committee. She has been incredibly helpful in the earlv preparations for our SO anniversary next year. We have been very lucky to recruit a high calibre new Trustee for Wale5.' Alan Francis, a hiBhly respected architect who is a former Chair of the Design Commission for Wales and is the incoming President of the Royal Society of Architects in Wales. We know he will be an excellent champion for our work in Wales, and he has also joined our Grants Panel. We are looking forward to 2026 and the celebration of our 50, Anniversary This will be a key moment as we celebrate projects past and present but also look forward to the future role of the charity in supporting communitie5 acros5 the UK to transform their heritage for new uses. Please do keep an eye out for the various activities we have planned for next year, which promise to be exciting.
AHF Tr8n3fornilng Herltago Page 005 Chief Executive's highlights from the year One of the highllghts of the year for me was, undoubtedly, the openln8 of the Buttermarket project In Redruth. This was a project funded under the Transforming Places through Heritage programme, our town centre regeneration focused fund. and was driven by one of our Heritage Development Trusts, Redruth Revival CIC. The Buttermarket is an exemplar for how a IonB-vacant historic building in the centre of deprived town can lead wider revitalisation efforts. It's also a reminder of the impact a social enterprise developer can have in places like this. The result is a beautifully reimagined food hall and events space, along with a variety of busine55 units, including co-working spaces. It is the type of asset that in other parts of the country might have been realised by the prlvate sector, but whlch here has requlred the work of this enterprising and highly imaginatlve not-for.profit. In Wale5 we saw the reopening of Cardigan Market Hall, following conseNation and adaptation works led by Cardlgan Bulldlng Preservatlon Trust and assisted by loan Investment from our Heritage Impact Fund. The Grade Il, market has been in continuous use since it opened in 1860 and is believed to be the flrst municipal building in Britain to follow the principles set out in John Ruskin's The Stones of Venice. It is part of the now thriving town centre of Cardlgan, a place where the reuse of historic buildings, often involving projec15 led by Social enterprises, charlties and local SMES, has been central to regeneratlon efforts over the past decade. We know the potential of projects like Buttermarket and Cardigan Market Hall to play a greater role In the revival of other town centres, and we have continued our5trategicfocus on raising more funding, both loan and grant Investment, for these types of projects across the UK. Towards the end of the financial year, we were incredlbly pleased to be awarded a three-year fundln8 settlement with Historic Environment Scotland. This long-term settlement wlll enable us to contSnue our early-stage support to charitles and social enterprises, along with a neWed focus on asSlSting or8anisations to develop projects that will be both energy efficient and have a p051tive impatt on climate change. Addre551ng climate change through bulldlng reuse and helping organlsations to manage energy use and costs, and to become more su5talnable, remain5 a crltical focus for the AHF, and durlng the year we joined the Soclal Investment Business-led partnership that 15 delivering the 'blended' (loan and 8rantl Energy Resilience Fund. We also negotlated a new one-year funding agreement with the Department for Culture Medla and Sport and Hlstoric England, which led to the creation of the £5 million Heritage Revival Fund. This will be delSvered durln8 2025126 and will focus on developingthe community ownership of town centre heritage assets, partlcularly In deprlved places. As Ros has highlighted, we had a very fruitful meetin8 With the Northern Ireland Communitles Minister Gordon Lyons, which led to the commlssioning of a research project currently underway looking at the potential for a hoLSSillg and heritage regeneration fund, Sncludlng investigating potential project5 in towns across the country. . We're looking forward to the final report and hopefully movlng forward with a number of pilot schemes in the next flnancial year. As 2026 appears on the horizon, we are really looklng forward to our 50th anniversary. This will be a unique opportunity to celebrate five decades of the work of the charlty, from our early days in supporting the work of ploneering building preservation trusts, to our more recent focus on social, community and heritage impact delivering alon85ide each other. As ever. this year's impart is down to the ded5Cation of the communities we work with and the AHF'5 amazingly talented and hard-working team and Board.

New lending decisions slowed somewhat during 2024125, and the number of new loan offers declined from the hi8hs of several years ago. However, sustainably managing the portfolio is always a critical part of the work of the Investment Team, and we celebrated a number of significant repayments during the year. Organisations redeeming their loans included Hastings Commons, which utilised a Heritage Impact Fund loan for the development of the Observer Building, and South London Theatre, which invested an £80,000 loan in refurbishing their thrivinB space within the Grade 11-listed former West Notwood Fire Station. By the end of the financial year. we had 66% of ourfunds committed against a target of 80%. We aim to increase loan offers during the forthcoming year.
AHF Translomkng Heritage Page 009 Increasing investments into energy efficiency 5UPPOrt ha5 Mained a priority throughout the year. This year, we supported Delapre Abbey in Northampton to successfully apply for Energy Resilience Fund (managed by Key FL*nd and the Social Investment Business) investment. This project also benefitted from the Thrive Together Fund, also managed by Social Investment Bu5ine55. Being part of these funds enables us to lever in new finance to support historic building reuse projects and complements our direct loan and grant funding. We also invested £50,000 in Penryn Art Centre, supporting them to install energy efficiencv measures in two previously redundant Grade 11-listed heritage assets that are now batk in active community Use. In Wale5, our strong partnership with Cadw continued and our budget of £375, 000 for early-stage 8rants enabled us to support a slgnificant number of projects. These Included a grant of £20,000 towards the redevelopment of Canolfan Owain Glyndwr, the Senedd-dl (Parllament House) of Glyndwrfs parllament of 1404. This historically significant building delivers a programme of activities sharing the history of Welsh ndependence hero Owain Glyndwr. We also provided capital works grants to two Heritage Development Trusts, Haverfordwest Heritage and Galerl Caernarfon, whlch wlll support two town centre projects. In Scotland, it was the flnal year of our Hlstorlc Envlronment Scotland agreement. We invested £325.0(KJ in early-stage grants thanks to ihis partnership, alongside £IOO.000 from ihe Wllliam Grant FoundatSon. In Aberdeen5hire, we funded the Friend5 of Tarlair Cornmunity Group to work up plan5 for Phase 3 of their efforts to revltallse a hlstoric outdoor pool, thought to be one of only three outdoor swimming pools in Scotland. We 8150 funded the latest Stage of Scottish Historlc BuSldln85 Trust's ISHBTI regeneration of the Category A Custom House in Leith. After early-stage development and consultation with the local community, SHBT plans to bring the Custom House back into full use as a multi-purpose Community and Creatlve Hub. At the end of the fin4ncial year, we were dellghted to receive the news that we had been awarded almost £2 million from the Historic Environment Scotland Partnership Fund. Th15 wlll enable us to enhance the dellvery of our core grants and project support programme In Scotland. In England, our grants budget WO5 lower than in previous years, but we were stlll able to allocate £315,000 of grants durlng the financial year, thanks to our partnership with Historic England and the PSlgrlm Trust. A grant of £15,000 was made to St Ives Community Land Trust for St Peter Street Studio and their proposals to convert the chapel to create eight individual affordable studio areas. We also made a grant of £15,000 to Bailiff8ate Museum & Gallery to further their plans to relocate from their smaller exlsting edge-of-town locatlon Snto Northumberland Hall in the centre of Alnwick. Demand for grants in England far outstrlpped supply during the year, 50 It was particularly welcome to successfully negotiate a new £5 million fund with the Department for Culture Media and Sport for launching in the new financial year.

Overall, 95% rated vents hi8hlv. Because community ownership of herltage assets is one of the AHF'S most important aims, we ask all projects at the end of their Brant or loan period whether they own their buildings at that date: 61%1691 of Exlt Survey respondents reported they owned or held a lonB lease125+ yearsl on thelr buildin8. According to our 2024125 Longitudinal Survey* this figure rises to 72% five years after receiving funding and to 88% after ten years, demonstratinB the lastlng value of our early support. We also ask what role our funding and advice played In brSn8ing bulldin85 into community ownershlp. Of the project5 that reported they owned or held a lon8 lease on their building at Exit Survey stage, 59%1411 had already controlled their building before their AHF Erant or loan, but 33% 1231 reported that AHF fundlng and support dlrectly enabled them to achieve ownershlp durln8 their grant or loan perlod. This means that one-in-five projects we supported were directly enabled to take ownership of their building thanks to our SL¢PPOrt during the perlod of their grant or loan. A similar trend can be seen in our Lon8ltudinal Survey. We asked or8ani5ations if the work funded by the AHF enabled them to take ownership of or secure a long lease on thelr buildings. Of projects that did not already have ownershipla long lease prior to their AHF grant or loan.. 18% of projects from ten years ago reported AHF support enabling them to take ownership. 50% of projects funded five years a80 reported AHF support enabled them to take ownership of their building Post-award.

Round 4 of the Fund, whlch was the flnal round, led to unprecedented sutce5s fol heritage projects 5UPPOrted by the AHF. The last awards meant that, in total, 409 projects across the UK received support from the COF: 76 lor 19%) of these also benefitted from the AHF'S early-stage advice and support. Projects supported In the final COF round included Age Concern Southend's project The Haven, which we have supported with grants and a loan to develop their plans for the Art Deco former department store. a focal part of this part of the town's high street. Although thi5 was the final roLtnd of the current Community Ownership Fund, we continue to make the case to 8overnment, In all four parts of the UK, for the need for funding for communities who wish to take control of local heritage assets. Maklng thls case for further funding will remain a priority for the AHF over the comin8 twelve months. The Heritage Development Trust programme continued its 5UPPOrt to twelve trusts across the UK as they developed and delivered their plans for taking ownership of heritage assets for the benefit of theSr local communities. In Scotland, North East Scotland Preservation Trust INESPTI was gifted an unprecedented six building5 in Port50y harbour, to be looked after by the Trust in perpetuity. These Include the John Adam designed Category A-listed Marble Warehouse, and the Category B-listed Marble Workshop, whlch will be redeveloped to Support the local economy through the creatlve industries.

The Kasbah is a Conservation Area recognised for it5 fishing heritage, and is home to a cluster of historic srnokehouse5, shops, factories, and warehouses associated with the fishing industry. Peterson's Smokehouse on Henderson Street originally functioned as a kipper house, however. by 2017, it had been
AHF Transfornilng Herltage Page 015 out of use for some time and much of it was inaccessible. Sitting directly opposite on Wharncliffe Road is Building 89, which is likely to have originally operated as a shop and was in dire need of modernisation. Great Grimsby Ite Factory Trust IGGIFTI was founded in 2010, with an initial aim of preserving the Ice Factory at Grimsby Docks. It has since widened its scope to look at the refurbishment and reuse of buildings acr05S the Ka5bah. The Peterson's Project was developed jointly by GGIFT. Associated British Ports, and North East Lincolnshire Council, and led to Great Grimsby becoming a Historic England Heritage Action Zone in 2018. Through the project, Peterson's Smokehouse has been restored for use as a fully functioning fish processing and smoking factory. while Building 89 has been brought back to life for a mix of uses, providing flexible room5 suitable for office, community, retail or café space. The AHF has supported the Peterson's Project with a series of grants and loan investment. In 2018, two early-stage Erants funded a viability appraisal, includin8 the development of an outline business plan and research to identify 5U5tainable end uses, as well as a development appraisal and the creation of an activitv and fundraising plan. In 2020, a Transformational Project Grant was awarded to support a programme of capital works. Heritage Impact Fund loan investment was subsequently provided as match fundin8 towards the full repair and refurbishment of the two historic buildin8S. With the Peterson's Prolect now complete, GGIFT is currently seeking tenants to take on Peterson's Smokehouse and Building 89. Having both buildings back in active use will boost the local economy through the creation of jobs and apprenticeships and add to the revitalisatlon of the Kasbah.

The year-on-year decrease of £2.9 mi11Son was primarily due to the National Lottery Heritage Fund funding for the non-recurring £2.3 million Heritage Development Trust revenue grant5,' these are multi-year grants but were awarded, and recognised in the accounts, in 2023124. The decrease was also due to other non.recurring income in 2023124, includin8 £508,000 from Historic England, for the extension of the Transforming Places through Heritage programme, and £250,000 additional funding from Cadw, including an additional £IOO,000 contrlbution to the Heritage Impact Fynd.

Grants expenditure was particularly high last year, due to the £2.3 Million Heritage Development Trust revenue Brants and si8nificant additional grant funding in England and Wales. Our reduced grant expenditure this year was offset by some Increases in staff and overhead costs, partly due to intreased headcount, and this is reflected in higher Spend across ljoth charitable activities and raising funds. There wo5 also a much smaller, beneficial reduction in the bad debt provislon, compared to last year. During the year we took the declsion to write off a debi which had been fully provided for in a prior year.

Reserves The AHF'S reseThes policy 15 designed to ensure that we continue to have an appropriate level of free reseNes li.e. excluding restricted and designated reserves) to safeguard our operations and achieve our strategic objectives. The level of reserves reflects the underlying risks facing the charity and is reviewed at least annually and whenever there is a significant change in the financial risks we face, which are
Pa9e 031 monitored on an ongoing ba51S. To determine the appropriate level of re5eryes- We revlew projected financial performance including cash requirements. The AHF'S busines5 model rneans that income and expenditure can be forecast with reasonable accuracy in the Short term. However, there are uncertainties, including.. timing as to when loans will be drawn, the availability of funding in the medium term, and the economic environment. We consider how we WO1 continue to opefate if there was a sustained and significant reduction in loan-related Income or capital funds to lend, or if successor funding was not secured at the end of our current programmes. We estimate the potential financial impact of other Significant short to medium term risk5, as identified in the AHF'5 Risk Register, and their likelihood. In all cases, we consider existing mitigations including the bad debt provision, insurance policies, and the Designated Lending Fund reserve. Followlng thls revlew, the Trustees have determined that the mlnimum required level of free reserves Ss between £491,0(]O and £586,000 at 31 March 2025,. the actual free reserve5 are £586,¢X)O. The Board of Trustees revlew the underlylng factors and the level of reseNes annually and Immediatelv following any sl8nificant change in the charitV'5 actlvitles, size or risk profile.

Golng concern The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basls is appropriate and have considered Possible events or condltlons that mlght cast slgnSflcant doubt on the ability of the charily to continue as a going concern. The Trustee5 have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. A5 part of the going concern review, the Trustees reviewed detailed budgets and cash flow forecasts to 31 March 2027, taking into account the current challenges of heightened interest rates, inflation, and energv costs, all of which will continue to affert the organisations we support, at least in the Short to medium term- however, based on these forecasts and the level of reserves available, the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the goinE concern basis in preparing its financial statements a5 they do not corisider there to be any material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

That, In turn, will give us further Steers about how we work with projects to look at how they address thls prlorlty wlthln their organisatlons. Prlnclpal rlsks and uncertaintles The Board 15 responsible for ensuring that there are effective and adequate risk management and internal control 5V5tems in place to rnanage the major risk5 to which the AHF is exposed. Our Trustees discharge this responsibility through their review of the effectiveness of the AHF'S risk management framework. This framework is deslgned to support informed decision-making regardin8 the risks that affect the AHF'S performance and its abilityto achieve r(s objectives. The framework also provides for a consistent approach to identifying. assessing and dealin8 Wlth the risks facing the AHF so a5 to ensure that they do not exceed the level of risk the Board is willing to assume. The AHF operates in a risk environment that Is complex and which includes offering loan finance to organisations that cannot raise funds from elsewhere. Therefore, the framework is designed to manage, rather than to eliminate. the risks to the AHF'S objectives and to provide reasonable, but not absolute. assurance against material rnisstatement or105s. We aim to manage risk by anticipation and avoidance, rather than by handling the consequence after the risk has cry5talli5ed. The total value of the Heritage Impact Fund and AHF Endowment Fund can be affected by the failure of some of the AHF'S borrowers to repay their loan in part or in full. Bad debts are to be expected given the
Tran810Mn9 Page 035 risks involved in the AHF'S loan investment5, although the AHF seeks to minimise its potential exposure to loan losses as far as possible through its assessment and loan monitoring processes. Provision for bad debt is rnade in the AHF'S forward financial planning. and one of our objectives is to replenish and increase the value of the endowment fund through fundraising. Risk Management Process It should be noted that processes in place regarding risk management and internal control include the following: A comprehensive rlsk management framework including a risk management polity and guidance and risk register- which addresses the Charity Commission's guidance. This consists of dlffefent stages, from understandingthe risk environment through rlsk identifScation, analysis and evaluation to risk treatmenl. The rnaintenance of a risk regSster. which is reviewed regularly by the Senior Management Tearn and twlce a year by the Audit & Rlsk Committee. The risk-management strategy forms part of the plannin8 process, against whlch the Board revlews progress formally every year. The or8anisation also maintalns risk registers for any significant externally funded pro8rammes; this currently Includes the Herltage Impact Fund. As well as the rlsk reglster, the organSsatlon also undertakes a PESTLE IPolitital, Economic, Soclal, Technological, Legal and Economlcl analysis of the longer-term rlsks facing the or8anI5ation, to enable the Audit and Risk Commlttee and the Trustees to foresee and assess risk throu8h a wlder contextual framework.
