HOUSE MILL TR TERED N 1928896 REPORT OF THE TR for the ear ended 30 June 2023 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Progress The Trust had continued to undertake some small¢r works that were previously part of the Original scheme which will tnean s1i8ht variattons on any whole-restoration project resubmission. but they do detnonstrate the Trust's ability to deliver. The speciali51 volunteer work ot) replacemellt of me floorixiards within the ground floor of House Mill with approptiately sourced reclaimed timber has continued, in addition to the instaIlation of bespoke metal grilles a]lowing more efficient ¢gTess of the tidal water. Listed building consent was obtained for these works. Archive digitization has also progre55ed a little, and other works around improvin¥ the archive fllrther have Tecorntnenced. Works to the Archive itself continue with both volunteer and trustee research ongoin8. 'I'his loo had been curtailed &s t]ie main source of our Current research is Hackney Atrhive. which also had to close throughout the pandemic. It is planned that sonie of the previously sourced mateTial will be used towards the creation of shon films. to cnliance the visitor offer and the digit21 pre5¢nce, goiiig forward. A new archive room has been established for public access. A new publication "Gin Crazy" was writtcn and published by the Trust during lockdown. and this is proving a best seller with our vi51tors, it is a collection of historical f8cts, anecdotes and even cocktail recipes. An important addition lo th¢ Trust's more academic range of publications. A5 described in last yeaT'S Report. a detatled survey of refiirbishmenl works to the exlerior of the building5 had been prepajyd And talks held with Historic England. An exciting initiative, and the main focus during the year wa5 the commencement tsf those works Yd the lelling of a Contract, after due diligthce and fomial iendering. to refurbish the souih elevations of the House Mill and Millerfs House. This was financed by a section 106 award, the work undertaken by Fullers Builders, an experienced. listed buklding, coniracior and the works were supervised by Trustees themselves.This is a major step forward for the Trust. In conjunction with the UCL team. we are gaining better knowledge of the condition of the ground floor of House Mill, and we have more detailed measurements and photographic evidence of the ongoing damage ¢au5¢d by the rising tide levels. This appcars to be as a resuli of ¢hang¢s to the configurdlions lo the tidal River Lea. Thi5, we understand, is furthtr added to by some of the local developrnents, where pertnission5 have been given, In i501ation, to extend into parts of what was the riverbed. UCL are now monitoring the tidal range as part of a Tnuch wider scheme. In addition to the annual inspection and reports, Iwo besk¢ Sensors have been illstalled, iniernally and externally by the UCL E&st London campug a5 part of a wider tide tnonitoring scheme.

Exhibitions and Special openings. However, with the three lengthy lockdowns durin¥ the pandetnic, like other venues, we have had to sthrt once again from ihe bottotn up, and this is proving to be slower than had been hoped. Clearly the major ev¢nts need to have long lead In times and there ar¢ some exciting exhibitions and tours in the planning 51ages, However, in addition to the weekly public guided tollrs, li been possible to deliver a selection of events, to includc a wide range of private group lollrs, gin ttill8S, a wedding, several exhibitions in the gallery, and we delighted with their success. Furthemore, MilleT'5 House hosts a weekly coffee morning for a welllg Walk. a Friday youth club. and is the independent venue for Sunday 5erviees for Christ¢hurch at Thrtt Mills. Page 2

Total income in¢reased frotn £36.036 to £43,692 and total expenditure decreased from £52,182 to £39,869 in comparison with the previous period. This is largely b#ause of the pandemic, artd resultant Closu of activitie5.

Reserves And Investent Policy and Risk Review It is ihe pc>licy of the charity lo maintain unreslrtcted funds at a level which equates to at least three mot)Ihs unrestricted expenditu. As at 30 June 2023 the reqiiired level ivas £9.970. This provide5 sufficient funds to cover adtninistration and SUPPK)rt costs on an ongoing basis. Unrestricted funds were maintained aLK)ve this level throughou¢ the year. At the year tnd the ¢haTity had negative reserves of £{6.132112022 £19.9551.

Bu$ine55 Plan The Tmsl's Business Plan contains full det*uls of ihe restoration pn)je¢t, the Trust'5 operatton, and in¢om¢ and expenditu projection5 for fjve yvdrs tx)51 reslor&lion. The Plan is robust and a living document.The business case prorK)ses ihat with the employment of key stafT, supported by the volunteer team, the House Mill itself will be open for at le1 5 day5 a week. with some S0[1 variations. The cafe will be open up to 7 days a week {dtpending upon meured footfall) and also with seasonal varj2tions. It includes a full range of Events, corpornte hire. meeting r(N)m hire. gill tastings and weddings. Succe5sfvI pilots have been held of all planned new activities. The Plan indicates that the Trust will be financially sustainable. with income from education, entrance fees, event5, corporate hire, weddings, enhanced café and shop and hydro-eleciricity. There is fufther income from tenants and potential for income from an eveninglweekend bar, but these have not been included into the Plan. at this stage. Disappointingly. a5 part of their financial cutbacks to the south of the park, the annual grdllt of £3,000 fJDm Lee Valley Regional Park Authority has been withdrawn. The Trust had planned to extend its activities. to challenge both the Activity Plan and th¢ Business Plan, and to continue financial sustainability in advance of the restoration projea. However. this has noi been tX755ible in the Iighi of the n¢8ative outcomes of the pademic, as staled elsewhere above.HoweveT. the Trust is W01ng to establish new busine55 tnodels and previous iD¢ome streams in some are&% are unlikely to return to pre-pandemi¢ levels.

They are a sall chaTity. which has been working for rn0 than 25 years- d¢livering education and inspiring young people to make positive choices about issue5 that atTecl their day to day lives. Chain Reaction also uses other parts of the buildiiig for educatton 2nd it5 own IM)ard meeting5. Prospects Three Mills Island remains in a period of regeneration. with several local major regeneTation projects undeti¥ay or prowsed. The House Mill is on the cusp of all of iheTn but not directly included in any, although the Tnjsi is in discussion with the main developers and the planning authorities, and in particular, the LLDC there is, as yet, nothing posltive lo repL>rt. The developments. in the main, a mixture of residential and business use, give the Trust the ssibility of Sec 106 benefits. These developments are constantly monitored by orte of our advisors who is in regular contaci with the rclevant Planning Authorities and developers. LLDC rs curntly the designated planning authority for the Three Mills are4 and in June 2013 it began a public consultation Process for plans to regenerdle the BroTnley by Bow area. This is of enomiou5 importance to ihe House Mill restordtion project. We have previously quoted on the LLDC literature re8arding the regenerdlion of Bromley by Bow and th¢ new conservation area. The core of ihe Legacy CooratIOn,$ role, as defincd by the Mayor of London. is "to promote and deliver physical, social, economic and environmental regeneration in the Olympic Park and SUTrounding area" The Southem Olympic Fringe comprises Pudding Mill Lane, Sugar House Lane, Three Mills, and Bro¥nley by Bow. The ed w&s incorrM)rated within the LLDC'S boundary for inter alia the folloiving rea90n5'. li has a huge regeneration PDtentÈal given i¢s stfdtegic location, extensive areas of unused Or underused industrial land and unique waterway and heritage setting. - The prospects of successful Tegenerdtion aJY as51St¢d by the Legacy Corporation as a single regenerdtion organisation. Secllring the delivery of the regen¢Tation of Bromley by Bow, in particular the connectivity improvements, is key to unlocking the rx)tential of the Three Mills site. As previously rerM)rted, the Trust is always encouraged and motivated by these kinds of Statements. The Trust contributed to the LDDC consultation docutnenl regarding the Bromley by Bow SPD MasieTplan and Public Realtn Strategy in November 2016. More recently the Trnst ha5 wntribuled to th¢ Consultation on the new LLDC Three Mills Conservation Area. Within this we are seeking to retain our existing section 106 parking facility and obtaining further section IQ6 gains. The Trust contlTiue5 Its r¢l*ionship with Histori¢ England and pre-lo¢kdown was in talks around the planned refurbishment WOTks to the buildings. exteriors. We undetsland that House Mill is one of their priority PTojects for restoration. The Trust also acknowledges the encourdgement and SUp)rt of numeTOU5 bodies, and it will continue to build on those relationships in the interests of the Mill and lis environ5. Our risk assessment process continues to be reviewed and maintained. We are working towards further iTllpToving our website, and our other social medta, be¢ome our main infomiation points. This will enable House Mill to become more visible even when the building 15 physically closed. and to ensurr that both the heritage of the bllildin& and the ongoing and future activities. are widely publicized. We remain convinced that the TTUSt has a unique ad magnificent project in the House Mill. We believe the Trust can go forward with confidence, moving towards successful fundraising in the fure enabling the restoration to take place and saving ihe largest remaining tidal mill in the world for generdiions to corlle. This report h&s been prepwrd in accordan¢e with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. Page S
