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
Y￿d 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 bes￿￿k¢ Sensors
have been illstalled, iniernally and externally by the UCL E&st London campug a5 part of a wider tide tnonitoring scheme.
Trust is grateful for thi5 collaborniion.
Educatio
Education &t the 51te 15 delivered by partner organisalions. such as Chain Reaction. University College London, The Line art trdil.
and various local schools. We are building a closer ff lationsliip with the Harris Science Academy (previously E￿t London Science
Sch¢)oll, located in Clock Mill, and increasing use ofthe building5 15 planned in the year ahead, across a range of subjects.
The Twsi has offered various local charitable organizations complimentary use of the classroom for a varidy of training and
educational activities. These have included environmeiital projects, local r¢5ident5 and other comtnunity and education groups.ln
particular, we were pleased to host weekly sessions for a Dementia Group, led by The Line, and the cltenls usd iK)th the classriK)m

General
We are delighted thai House Mill Trust has been able to re-open following the pandemic and resultsnt loss of vi5itor5. in¢om¢ and
volunieets 9￿d we are aware that many other small indus¢rial h¢Tita8e 51tes have no¢ been so fortunate, having either to close or lo be
'moiliballed"
House Mill is working on reinslaling the full progratllme of Tours, Events. 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 t￿till8S, a wedding, several exhibitions in the gallery, and
we delighted with their success. Furthemore, MilleT'5 House hosts a weekly coffee morning for a well￿l￿g Walk. a Friday
youth club. and is the independent venue for Sunday 5erviees for Christ¢hurch at Thrtt Mills.

srEES
for the

The Millerfs House is the sile for iwo major artworks on The Line art trail. and we have just given pern)ission to extend these for a
further three years. Madge Gill "Uniiiled" print on the redr of first floor, overlooking the garden and th¢ walkway up to Three
Mills GTeen. and the "Juniper. weathervane on the third floor balcony, overlooking Three Mills Larte. These are important
additions, and enjoyed by walker5 and visiiors to the buildillgs. Inside the Millerfs House, cafe area there 15 currently an exhibit of
works by Madge Gill, provtded by LB Newham heritage. This is the largest of the LBN exhibitions within the knrough, and links
nicely with the other Madge Gill works currenily showing along the route of The Line.
House Mill was featured in The Wharfpublicatitsn in March 2023, wjd thi5 did rdise interest in the buildings from the Canary Wharf
mmunity, with resultan¢ visitor inCre￿e when we opened forthe Season in April.
A "big lunch" and community Street party w&s held for the Coronation in 2023, and this wa5 a hiige su¢¢ess ftir local residents and
communities, and was attended by the MayoT of Newham.
The one ar¢a where we have not been able lo return to pre-pand¢mi¢ number5 is the hire and catering for the meeting rooms. which
was a rnajor source of income. With the working frorn hotne. and meetings beinB held by ZLK)m and ieams for kn5tance. it is unlikely

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Finan¢i#l position
The fJnallcia] Jysults for the year to 30 Jwie 2023 are shown in the attached financial statem¢nt5 {pa8¢s 10 to 12).
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.
These expenses included additional maintenanc¢ i¢ems pilot replacement window. continuing flLX)rboard replacement. fire alami
upgrade and digitalisation of the Trust's archave.
There was a net incr￿Se in fiinds of £3.823 {2022 net decrease £16.1561 with total unrestricted funds (excluding the designated
furtds) carried folward of £(6,132)12022- £{9,955).
Reserves And Invest￿ent 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. In e4l¢ulaiing the reserves, the (wstees have
excluded from itstal fund5. the value of fixed &85ets les5 relaied loatt oblL8ations.
The triisiees have always reviewed the major risks to whi¢h the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the &55et5 including
OP¢Tations and finan¢es of the cliarity, the pandemic was an obvious one and the eoniinued and increased problem of flooding 15
another. However, during the reporting period unexpe¢ied risk5 were exros¢d whi¢h impacted on ollr finan¢es.
The House Mill and Th¢ MilleT'S House have been valued for insurance purpose5 at £12.193,842 and £2,009,499 respectively.
These are rebuilding valuation5.
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 le￿1 5 day5 a week. with some
S￿0[￿1 variations. The cafe will be open up to 7 days a week {dtpending upon me￿ured 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
pa￿demic, as staled elsewhere above.HoweveT. the Trust is W0￿1ng to establish new busine55 tnodels and previous iD¢ome streams
in some are&% are unlikely to return to pre-pandemi¢ levels.

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 Co￿oratIOn,$ 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 a￿d magnificent project in the House Mill. We believe the Trust can go forward
with confidence, moving towards successful fundraising in the fu￿re enabling the restoration to take place and saving ihe largest
remaining tidal mill in the world for generdiions to corlle.
