OVERVIEW 2024-2025 h&s been a year of change for the Trust but one which has proved to be a positive and succe&sful one. Following the retirement of Lesley Denton as the General Manager, after over 15 Y￿rS of working to rescue the estate from the parlous stat¢ into which it had fallen and heading up the Trust's management team. Her successor, Rachel Halley was appointed as the Estate Director, taking up position in De¢ember 2024. Ra¢h¢l brought with her 7 years of estate management experience following 13 years with Shell in various roles. culminating in creating and implementing Shell"s real estate strategy in the Middle Bast and then a one year career break to obtain an MBA from CrJnfield University. In addition to Rachel's arrival, our gardening team has seen significani change with our ¢xis¢iD8 Head Gardener moving on and one of the other two full time members of the gardening team going on maternity leave. We Ivere very lucky to have Oliver Forrest join us as Head Gardener from a Cambridgeshire eslate. bringing with him 20 plus years of experience: including as head gardener, and to find an excellent junior gardener as maternity cover. Together K4th the other two members of the gardening team and the outstanding band of garden voluntttrs, the gardens have not only been maintained but have been improved and have provided an oulstandin8 backdrop to many of our weddings. The Trust continued to s¢¢ an incre&%e in visitor number& wedding4 and events at Kelmarsh. which resulted in both th¢ Trust's dii'ect income and that generated by KeIma￿h Events exceeding their respective budgets. Nortethele￿ the Trust's expenditure also exceeded budge¢ which resulted in greater than budgeted consolidated deficiL The Trust succeeded in increasing its educational activities including holdlng severnl lecture series and garden related floral workshops.

THE KELMARSH TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Maintenance, repAlr and preservation of the Hall aDd E5tste Buildings The programme of heritage and related maintenance of the Hall and surrounding buildings continues to be given high prioi'ity and is ongoing. Repairs have included significant work to the extemal are&s of the Hall with work undertaken on external painting and mainlenance, clearing guttering and downpipes. Significant restordtion has been completed on the North Lodge Walls, accompanied by the implementation of protective me&sures to address water emsion along the banks. The Vinery has had a much-needed refresh and maintenance work undertaken. Internally, Ihe estates 0￿1CcS have recently benefited from e&8ential upgrades, including redecoration and new flooring. Additional improvements include ftre alam) enhancements. ongoing maintenance of the Oi'angery and Boat House. and repairs to the inlemal lift. ensuring continued accessibility throughout the Hall. The Coachman's Cottage has been refurbished to make the property suitable for use and habitation. Chattels This season, we have continued our "Book of the Month" feature in the library. Each month: a Ix)ok is selected by the research volunleers and promtnently displayed along with an infornlative swnmary. We also have avideo showing the upstairs rooms in the Yellow Room for any visitors who cannot access the Upstai￿ room& The research and archive volunteers have UFthted our chattels folders for ¢ach room, with a brief history on each object, which visitors can have a look through to see if they have a particular interest in any of the paintings or obje¢ts around the rooms. In addition. work continues to document every iÉ¢m in the storage rooms.

The aim going forward is kj re-create a neiy room each season where possible. We have also been loaned a superb Van Dyck portrait of Henry Rich, l Earl of Holland: me&suring over 2 metres high by l - metres wide. It hangs in the Dinin8 Room and is a magnificent addition to ow wllection of pictures. Gardens and Estate Throughout the year. new planting projects were completed in the gardens, alongside the renewal of path surfaces to enhance the photography opportunities in particular for the wedding bookings. The gardens have received considerable appreciation and positive feedback and on analysing the visitor numbers it is evident that rnany regular visitors come just to see the gardens. In October 2024: our Head Gardener departed. resulting in a tI￿si￿on period during which the gaTdens were expertly maintained by our dedicated gardens team and volunteers. Their efforts were particularly notable during the winter months. as they undeitook 518nificant woi'k to prepare the gardens for reopening. We have since appointed a new Head Gardener, who has already made a notable and positive impact with the support of the team and volunteers. The gardens continue to be well car¢d for. Hedgerows continue to be improved by laying sections and replanling y)me ar￿ where there ivere gaps. Hedge cutting is in line with countryside care, allowing for food for birds during the Mqnter months and safe nesting in the spring. The trees in the QLLeen's Copse planted for Qveen EIizAbeth II Platinum Jubileecontinueto flourish and a 30-metre mixedh¢d8erow was also planted on the fence line of the copse. These are&5 continue to do well. Page 3

FundThising Gi?nts and fundin8 are an important and essential [￿rt of the preservation of the Hall, gardens, and wider estate, and i supporting the Trust's objectives. We will continue lo fundraise and seek support for special and larger capital projects, specifically those relating to iyork on Heritage Assets, including the repair of one of the i¥alls to the Walled Garden where we a150 have a vision of including a sensory gardeTh for thos¢ with sight and Tnobility issues. A special mention and thanks go to the Heritage Fund lor their continued SUp￿rt over recerLt years. We continue to ensure that maintenance of our Basement and Laundry project isreviewed each year to ensure that it ¢ontinues to offer an excellent learning experi¢n¢e and visitor attraction. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Trust continues to face financial pressures as a result of the wider wnomic picture, with continued cost and price increases and pressures on household income impacting the Trust and Events business. Despite this, through sound fiTJancial management. plannin8 and supervision, along with the earlier support of grant funding and the wmmitment of key management: we have achieved a positive outcome for ihe year. Throughout this perioiL we have laken a prudent and loiv risk approach to budgeting and risk management to ensure sustainability and future viability.

Income from freehold investment properties and f8rn) tenancies Investmetit income Donations and grants Vlsitor admissions income Commercial trading operations (received via Kelmarsh Events) Income from the windfa Investment Policy Financial inveslmen¢s We pursue a policy that provides a reasonable income for our ￿rrent purp)ses and enhanees income and capital growth over the longer temi, thereby enabling us to meet our CUTrent and fvture objectives. It is the Trustees, policy to use the income derived from these inv¢stments and not to dispose of them unless a better return can be generated from investing the proceeds of sale in other assets. A specialist UK investment manager oversees the investment portfolios. The Tnjstees require the investment manager to pay attention to the standard investment criteri4 namely the suitability of the class of investment and the need for diversification insofar as it is appropriate to the circumstances of the Tn￿t. Our approach to responsible investments, extends to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) specifications adopted by the investment manager with specific exclusions. The Trustees monitor these investments by receiving quarterly slatements from the inve51ment manager showing the movement in capital value and the income received from investments under management 88 well as an annual update from the investment manager given at a meeting with them.

THE KELMARSH TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Invesimenlproperlies The Trustees employ PD)fessional farm and pn)perty rnanagemenl ag￿ts to oversee maintenance and ensure the best returns from farn) and let property rents. The Trust is actively undertsking repairs and upgrades where it can to the let residential pmperties to ensure compliance ￿'1th approved EPC guidelines, including intrmal insulation and roof restordtion. Although substantial pro8ress has been achieved, these improvements involve significant expenditure and are further complicated by existing tenancies. The Estate fortunately has a limited turnover of tenants, but this restricts the Trust's ability to improve the let properties which are below th¢ EPC guidelines, as pn)perties generally have to beeome vacant in order for the necessary MDrk to be carried out. This programme is expected to continue over the coming years. Reserves Policy The key reserves policy of the Trustees is to relain a level of reserves which will provide a stable base for the Trust's continuing activities and to enable the Trusl to adjust to any significant change to resources through Ix)th known and unplanned events, whilst ensuring that excessive funds are not accumulated. The nature of th¢ assets of the Trust are such that high levels of expenditure can be incurred in both the short terni and long temi which necessitates having ac¢e5S to liquid funds to cover eventualities. Therefore. the Trustees aim to identify, and set aside &s designated fwids. a level of funds to meet specific pmjects (including the ongoing EPC requirements on let properties) and for essential maint¢nan¢e of Heritage Assets within the foreseeable future. The Trustees have establishd a tx)licy whereby the unrestricted funds not designated for specific purp)ses or invested in tangible fixed assets should be betweerj three and six months of the total expenditure on raising funds and essential charitable activities and governance costs ("running costs.). At 31 March 2025 these reserves amounted to £227.575 which repTesents just over three months, expenditure on the running costs. The Trustees consider that this meets the reserves p)licy outlined above. Rlsk Management The Trustees regularly identify and review the major risks to which the TNst could be exwised: and procedures have been established to manage those risks. In particular the T￿￿te¢S have adopted arisk management policy.. which addresses the major governanc4 operdtional. financial, reputational, legal and regulatory risks which might impa¢t upon the core purposes and key objectives of the Trust. This builds on and complements existing risk management procedures in many aspects of the Trust's work in such areas as financial management. health and s&fety, fire and security and disaster planning a￿angements to protect pmpety, staff and visitors. It is forma]ised in a risk register which is reviewed annually by the Trustees and monitored by the management team, this is circulated at each Trustw. meeting. More specifically there is a fomlal contract with our appointed Health & Safety consultsnt lo provide advice (including regular visits) on health and safety issues covering the Hall. Gardens, and wider Estste. There are also maint¢nance/service contracts coveiing not only plant and machinery but also fire extinguishers, fire and intruder alanns. Where neceswy staff are updated on these issues and reF¥)rts made to the Trustees by the General Manager l Estate Director. The Trustees are conscious of the need to keep up to date on Charity Commission and other legal and regulatory developments and changes in order to protect the Trust. Page 6

THE KELMARSH TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES AND DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 PLANS FOR THE FUTURE The Trustees and management team are always alert to changing markets and 2024 saw a continued increase in interest particularly from potential corporate clients. However, we are aware that we opeTate in a very competitive market and continue to revise our offerings to accommodate clients and visitors. A5 a charitable Trust relying on outsourced commodities such &8 catering, we must select our service providers carefully to compete in the event business. The Kelrnarsh Events board meets quarterly and together with a very capabl¢ management team who are continually aware of the changing markets, review new possibilities and are keen to ty a variety of events and activities which will keep Kelmarsh in public focus as an interesting venue- for events and for heritsgelrecreation visitors. The wedding and co[￿)rate event market is making a steady recovery, and we have taken on SEO to intensify our social media. We have suc¢eed¢d in holding our own by marketing Kelmarsh as a beautiful and flexible venue which listens to what clients want to ensure a successful event and we will continue to do this. Kelmarsh has evolved into 8 venue that knows what it is good at. We have considered variou5 Qptions relating to the wedding rn￿"ket by research and listening to what clients want. This ha5 given us the confidence to focus on our strong wints whilst being ever detemiined not to undermine our key Toles of access. conservation, and education. Our future plans continue to promo appreciation and enjoyment of the heritsge of the Ha]1 and Gardens. As we move forward Trustees are aware of the prassures outside of this historic propety. World affairs at)d wars together with national and local even15 have had a significant impact on to how people choose to spend their free time and money. Nevertheless, we believe we have all the right pern)nnel. including Twstee& staff and an ever-increasing number of supportive volunteers to enhance the experience and tncr&qsed number of Visito￿ and clients. One of the key challenges is to ensure that the Tru h85 the fi]nding needed to achieve the recently adopted vision, including generating additional sources of income to provide certainty of funding on a year-on-year basis to enable ihe Trust to focus on achieving other parts of the vision.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE KILMARSH TRUST MAtters on which Ive are required to report by eiception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and ol the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audiL we have not identified material miss(at￿nents in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to rew>rt in respect of the following matters where the Companie5 Act 2006 requires us to report to you if. in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept or relurns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not Vi5jted by us. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. or certain disclosures of trustees, remunerdtion specified by law are not mad< or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audiL Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees. R￿ponsIbIlitIe% the trustees (who are also the directors of thecharitable company for the purFK)ses of company law) are resw)n5ible for the prq)aration of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they giv¢ a true and fair view, and lor such inlernal control as the trustees deterniine is nece￿ary to enable the preparation orfmancial stalements that are free from material misslatemenL whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statement& the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group'5 and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern: disclosing. &8 applicabl4 matters related to going concern and using the goin8 COti¢ern basis of accounting unless the tNstees either inlend to liquidate the charitable company or to ¢ease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit ofthe financial stgtements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aiN)ut whether the fjnancial statements as a whole are free from material misstatemen¢ whether due lo fraud ¢)r error. and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guardntee that an audit conducted in accordance ivith ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in ihe aggregate, they could rewnably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial ststements. Irregularitie& including fraud. are instances of nonrycornpliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined aknve. to detect material misstatements in respe¢l of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that materi31 misstatements in the financial ￿alements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with ISA'S (UK). The extent to which our procedur¢5 are capable of detecting Irregulariti￿ including frou(L is detailed below. We obtained an understsnding of the legal and regulatory frdmeworks applicable to the group and io the parent charitable company and the sector in wthich it operates ihrough our generdl commercial experience and existing knowledge of the charitsble sector. We delemiined that the following laws and regulations i¥ere most significant= Charities SORP (FRS 102), FRS 102. Companies Act 2006 and the relevant t&x compliance regulations in the UK. In addition, we concluded that there are certain laws and regulations that may have an impact in the detennination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial sla(ements such &8 health and safety and employee relat&J matters. We enquired of management concerning the group's and parent charitable company's policies and ptt)cedures relating to: The identifi¢ation and compliance with laws and regulations The detection and response to the risks of fraud The internal controls within the charitsble (y)mpany to mitigate fraud risk and non compliance to laws and regulations We enquired of managemenL whether they were aware of any instance of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDEKf AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE KELMARSH TRUST We communicated relevant laivs and regulations and w)tential areas of fraud to all audit team members including the potential for fraud in revenue recognition. We remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audiL We have detennined that the principa] risk areas ivhere material irregularities could occur were related to posting manual journal enlries to manipulate finaneial perfomiance, revenue recognition and significant one- off or unusual transactions. Our audit procedures were designed to respond in particular to these identified risks (including non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud). Our audit procedures included but were not limited to-.
