2023-2024 ANNUAL REPORT- THE PERCIVAL GUILDHOUSE l. Chairman's Statement The Percival Guildhouse has struggled financially due to COVID-19 and the resulting change in people's behaviour. For the year to end July 2024 we had a net financial deficit of rnore than £30k. This was an improvement against the deficit of £44k in the previous year, but only because of a donation of £15k. The cumulative loss has depleted our cash balances to a very worrying level. Our current projections are that we will run out of cash before the end of the Summer term 2025. This will mean that The Percival Guildhouse would close for business in its Centenary year. The ultimate salvation ft)r the Guildhouse can only come from an appreciable increase in student numbers and classes. We must increase the number of students per class in 50 % of cases and restore the number of courses we run per term, These have dropped by 40010. The impact on our botiom line of decline in both cases has been devastating. In the Summer of 2024, we deployed new methods of promoting courses and trying to increase awareness of the Guildhouse. We have offered new classes, including introducing early evening sessions for the first time. In the coming Spring term, we are going to offer more classes, some running for fewer weeks and more Saturday workshops which, we believe, can be valuable tasters for our full-term courses. We urgently need all students and tutors to promote the courses offered at the Guildhouse. Word of mouth is far and away our most effective means of boosting numbers and spreading the word is an endeavour in which each and every student can share. The path to rebuilding numbers to sustainable pre-pandemic levels involves connecting with a range of different organisations, reassessing the market in which we operate, taking stock of changing WDrking and retirement patterns and more. The Trustees are actively engaged in all of this work. At the same time, it has always been the case that Guildhouse activities have been underpinned by grant support, We are grateful to the Westham House Fund, for example, for its continued backing which enables us to offer subsidised courses to those on means-tested benefits. We are constantly looking for and applying to different grant providers, supporting these applications wlth our much-revised Strategic Plan which lays bare our circumstances but also demonstrates the unique offering of the Guildhouse. I am grateful to the Trustees who have shown great commitment to the Guildhouse in the past and perhaps particularly during the pandemic. Trustees have had to be fairly hands on in support of the Centre Manager and her team. Mowever, Trustee numbers have fallen for a variety of reasons. There is a particular need for help with fiJndraising and developing the curriculum, We woljld very much welcome students and tutors with experien in these areas to provide help, either as Trustees or as active members of a team working on the*.

- Centenary Committee Chairman's Report The Centenary Committee is only too aware of the fraglle nature of the Guildhouse's finance5 and that everyone's focus has to be on its survival. Against that background the committee has been working towards developing a programme of modest, but appropriate, events to be held in 2025, culminating in a celebratory event on the actual IOOth anniversary, 29th September, 2025. Proposed events include:_ a local schools creative writing competition inspired by the theme, The Time Machine, _ 100 years of the Guildhouse. an Arts & Crafts exhibition and Guildhouse Archives display to be held 2nd_16lh June in Rugby Art Gallery & Museu a celebratory Tea Paty to be held in the Guildhouse in the summer a number of social evenings celebrating the cultures of France, Italy and Germany with appropriate food and muslc participation In the National Heritage Weekend in September displaying, amongst other artefacts, items from our recenuy-collated archives. Whilst this programme vvill be cost neutral and potentially generating income, its taking place wi11 depend entirely on the financial situation of the Guildhouse at the time. David Dove
- Report of the Executive Committee The Executive Committee (EC) is comprised of those Trustees elected at the AGM plus any others co-opted throughout the year and with the Centre Manager as an ex-officio member. The EC is primarily responsible for the good governance of the Charity, its strategic direction, its financial sustainability, the maintenance of the building and the safety of all of its users. The EC met throughout the year continuing to manage the financial situation, support the Centre Manager and progress plans for the Guildhouse to be a sustainable going concern. 3.1 Review of the Year People are the driving force and lifeblood of The Percival Guildhouse in every part of the organisation. The overwhelming support, loyalty and passion evident at the last AGM served as a boost and a challenge Lo Trustees, then mid-way through the year being reviewed here. The Trustees, who were already confronting the reality of the Guildhouse's post-pandemic position, have been fully focused on strntegic actions to secure its future. This has included development and implementation of new strategic and marketing plans. Fielationships with Rugby Borough Council have grown with meetings with key councillors following the May elections and with senior officers, including those with staff responsibility with a view to them encouraging council employees to join courses.
Our relationships with Rugby School have deepened Sin Dr Neil Hampton, CEO of Rugby School Global Group, chaired the last AGM. He was impressed and affected by the strength of feeling demonstrated at that meeting, He has visited us since and has held meetings with the Chairman and Secretary of Trustees. In tandem, senior staff from the School have provided pr()fessional advice and assistance ranging from helplng us organise our extensive archives (more later) to discussions around marketing and event opportunities. Rugby First has helped us ensure that we embrace all opportunities to raise our profile by participating in town events. We continue to forge separate relationships with businesses equally committed to reviving the town centre. For varying personal reasons, Trustees Ralph de la Croix, Steve Becker and our then chairman, Carin Jackson resigned during the year. Each played a distinct part in promoting the survival of the Guildhouse. They have our thanks for their unselfish contributions. The Trustees welcomed to the EC Rachel Doughty, a multi-disciplinary artist and tutor at the Guildhouse who also run5 her own Community Interest Company focused on working with disadvantaged individuals and groups, and marketing specialist Tracey Saunders, who has Sin resigned (October 2024). With sadness we mark the paIng of one of our vice presidents, Anne Lewis-jones. Anne's association with the Guildhouse went back to the 1950s. She had been an EC member and Social Club Secretary, a tutor of history and craft courses, and Presented us at the Education Centres Association, a national body promoting lifelong learning. Stalwart SUPPOrter, Herbert"Roy" Barnes, also died during the year leaving the Guildhouse a generous £15,000 legacy. A memorial bench is to be installed in the inner Guildhouse garden area with a plaque recording his support and that of others, Front-of-house'fixture" Prabha Mistry retired in November 2023 after 26 years with us. No visitor to the Guildhouse will have escaped her good~humoured determination to raise funds either via the prize draw, plant sale or other event. She has the thanks of all Trustees for her years of service. In her stead, we have welcomed Lorraine Rosser to the admin team. With eyes fixed firmly on the future, we've been inspired by the history thavs been uncovered during the exploration and categorisation of our extensive archives, Led by Trustee, Liz Pichon, our archives, recognised as of national significance, are gradually being turned into a resour capable of display and use as an education tool. Our aim is to have them in shape ft)r the Centenary. Elsewhere in this report you will read about volunteer-led fundralsing events, with tutors and students banding together of the Aspinall Lounge refurbishment, 90D/o of which was achieved by Trustee and volunteer efft)rt, of long~term supporters donating regularly or leaving precious financial legacies. Every action exemplifie5 the dedication of individua15 and their importance to the life of the Guildhouse.
3.1.1 Ob ectives and Pollcies The Charity'5 objective is the advancement of the education of adults in the Rugby area. This objective is achieved principally by the provision of:. A centre of activity known as The Percival Guildhouse Adult education courses run by self-employed tutors in a wide range of subjects in our own, other premises and online. Our policy is to comply with all relevant legislation and regulations and to provide a welcoTning and incluslve environment for all. 3.1.2 Public Benefit The Trustees have resd and understood the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. They consider that The Percival Guildhouse, whose charitable purpose is the advanment of education of adults in the Rugby area by the provision of an adult education centre, demonstrates public benefit by providing courses including the arts, languages, history, exercise and cr4fts which are available to all adults. It also provides public benefit as it is more than just a tre of education. It is a community of people who meet and make new fllends in a warm, welcoming and safe environment so reducing loneliness and social isolation. 3.2 Centre Manager's Report The Guildhouse continues to suffer from the impart of the COVID-19 pandemlc. Enrolments are still only 60Wo of pre-pandemic numbers. We have significantly increased our marketing artivities to raise our public profile including direct leafleting to target I 1,000 homes in the town and surrounding villages, leaflet placement in public access points within a 20-mile radius of Rugby and, for example, a 30-minute interview on Rugby Hospital Radio - a very captive audience. During this year we havc expanded our provision holding courses in West Haddon, in Northamptonshire, delivering weekly watercolour classes and Saturday Workshops. We are also grateful to the editors of a host of village and parish newsletters for their support in carrying regular articles about Guildhouse courses. In September 2023, as part of National Heritage Day, we were visited by the Mayor of Rugby, Councillor Maggie O'Rourke. She was taken on a guided tour of the Guildhouse and briefcd on our history and the wide range courses and dayschools we offer today. Afterwards, she commented. Heritage Open Day shone a light for me on all the treasure5 we have in Rugby, places such as the Guildhouse which have a fa5anating past but also remain a very active and vibrant part of Rugby's story today." Now part of the ruling group on Rugby Borough Council, Councillor O'Rourke has continued to promote the Guildhouse, as has the new MP for Ru9byi John Slinger. We are grateful for their public affirmation. We were delighted to unveil our newly-refurbished lounge completed thanks to volunteer labour, chiefly that of then Trustee Steve Becker, and funded by a grant from Hinckley and Rugby Building Society, whose Rugby Branch Manager, Simon Terry, carne to the launch.
3.2.1 Enrolments This graph clearly shows the devastatin9 effect of COVID-19 on student numbers. To remain viable, we need an increase of at least 400/0 in enrolments.

3.2.3 Fee Remission In furtherance of our charitable objertives fee remission was again available to students who are in receipt of certain means-tested benefits. During 2023-2024 the discount was set at 60 % of the full fee. As a result, the cost was £3,567 (58 remissions) which was covered in part by the grant of £3,000 from the Westham House Fund. We are extremely grateful to the Fund for its continued support. 3.2.4 Clubs and Grou This year the Bridge Club, the Knitting Group and the Gardeners Guild continued to meet in the Guildhouse. 3.2.5 Friends of PGH In June we introduced a new fundraising initiative 'The Friends of The Percival Guildhouse,. For an 3nnual fee the 'Friend' is entitled to priority booking for courses in the Autumn term, three free drink5 and access to the WI-FI code. The amount raised was £1,320 which equates to 88'Friends'. We contlnue to add to the benefits offered under this scheme. 3.2.6 Communi Links Both our students and the people of Rugby are extremely fortunate that in exchange for allowing public access, the Borough Council maintains the Guildhouse gardens as a pleasant, green oasis in this built-up corner of the town, The Strategic group ft)cusing on growing student numbers has had several meetings with stakeholders at Rugby Borough Counal, the Community Development Groupi Rugby First and representatives at Rugby Art Gallery and Museum. 3.2.7 Communications We continue to print and distribute brochures each tertn, in addition to promoting all courses via our website, all social media channels and the wider media. In this year a total of 3,000 printed brochures were issued. We have increased our social media activity, purchasing the scheduling technologyi 'Hootsuite', to enable LJS to co-ordinate our output via Facebook, Instagram and X and schedule posts to go Dut at times when potential students are m05t likely to see them. Our following is building but we really need all supporters and students with a social media account both to follow and to share Guildhouse posts. This would amplify our output and help us reach important new audiences. We have also registered our building on Venue Finder for our Room Hire offering and as a possible film location. Sarah Gall
- Treasurerfs Report 4.1 Review of the Financial Year 2023-2024 A statement of Financial Activitie5 is appended to this report. The principal continuing sources of income are cla55 fees and room rentals. Income from these sources for the year was £148,475 compared with £145,492 for the previous year. In common with the last three years these incorne levels have still not yet recovered to those of earlier years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. On the expense side, tutors, fees and class expenses reduced from £85,352 to £77,579. The overall financial result for the Guildhouse has been another substantial deficit for the year of £30,679, despite the efforts made to secure some grants and donations, as noted below. On the face of it this might appear to be a reduction of the deficit for the previous year but we were fortunate in receiving an unexpected legacy of £15,000 which means that the core deficit was, in reality, again over £40,000. It cannot be stressed too strongly that thls sitsjation cannot continue and has put the Guildhouse in a dire situation going into the current year ending 31 July 2025. Be assured, however, that our Trustees have been striving to improve our ongoing finances, but above all an increase in class attendances is vital. 4.1.1 Grants We reiVed total grants of £5,000 compared with £11,360 in the previous year. These consisted of £3,000 from the Westham House Fund, which enabled us to offer fee remissions, and £2,000 from the Sir Edward Boughton Long Lawford Charity. All grants received are set out in note 3 of the Statement of Finanaal Activities.
- 1.2 Donations and Fundraisin Generous donations from a number of individuals and the proceeds of fundraising activities have been used to help with the cost of operating and malntaining the Guildhouse. For a self-financing organisation this makes a tremendous difference, especially so in recent years. A summary of these items can be found in notes 2 & 6 attached to the Statement of Financial Artivities. The Percival Guildhouse raises funds from donations and, in normal circumstances, from fundraising events, such as the Christmas Fair. The GuildhoL¢se is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and does not outsource fundraising to external organisations. The Charity ha5 no other fundraising requiring disclosure under s162A of the Charities Act 2011.
4.1.3 Investments We have cash of £34,761 in a saving5 accoun¢ albeit paying a low rate of interest. The Trustees kept the investment policy under review throughout the year. 4,2 Fundraisin Events The money ralsed from our fundraising events during this year made an important contribution to our general funds once again. Our thanks go to all of our Membe who continued to support our efforts so generously. 4.2.1 The Christmas Fair Our Christmas Fair in 2023 produced an outstanding result of £2,545.52. 4.2.2 The Prize Club The Prize Club generated income of £1,320 ft)r the Guildhouse. 4,2.3 The Annual Plant Sale The Plant Sale raised £530, plus £77.50 gifted by one of our students for proceeds from their tomato plants. 4.2.4 Book Sales During the year we continued to sell donated books and raised £453.31. 4.2.5 Miscellaneous Fundraisin During this year our studcnts became more inventive and started selling homemade jams which proved very popular. We also held two enjoyable events - a Literary Afternoon and an Italian Evening. These event5 were very popular and together raised £1,140 towards our general funds. David Thomson 5. Our Peo Staff Our small team of part-time staff continue5 to be committed, flexible and hardworking. They contribute to the Guildhouse being a friendly and pleasant environment for Students and tutors alike. We are very grateful to all our staff, administration and caretaking, for their much-valued contribution. During the year Prabha Mistry, one of our administrators retired after 26 years of service. We marked the occasion with an enjoyable, very well attended retirement party which gave us all an opportunity to thank Prabha for her hard work and contribution to the Guildhouse. Prabha stayed on until she could hand over the reins to our new administrator, Lorraine Rosser, who has embraced her new role with us.
utors We have a loyal, commltted, and professional team of tutors who are a huge and essential part of our SLJccessful programme. We are always looking for new subjects and new tutors to enable us to continue to expand, refresh and maintain variety In our programme. Volunteers As a charity we rely on our volunteers, be they trustees, evening stewards, fundraisers or brochure deliverers. Their support helps us keep our costs down. They also make a very real contribution to, and are at the heart of, the success of the Guildhouse. We can never have too much of such support. 6.
