- Chairman's Report In last year's Report a nd Accou nts, l emphasised the perilous nature of The Percival Guildhouse's fin8nces. AttheAGM in December2024,1 gave notice ofa possible Special General Meeting in January 2025to agree closure if funding could not be achieved to cover the projected def icit. The very good news is that many supporters of the Guildhouse demonstrated their tremendous commitment by donating an incredible £29,322 in response to our Appeal. Additionally, we obtained £11,500 in grants from three bodies that have long supported us- RugbyGroup Benevolent Fund, the Sir Edward Boughton Long Lawford Charityand the Westham House Fund. We are so grateful to all. The impact of this is that ourdefiGitforthe yearwas significantly reduced-tojust under £131<. Fundswere still needed to keep the Guildhouse goingforthe 2025-26 academic year commencingAugust 2025. The second piece ofgood news is th8tthe Westham House Fu nd gave us an interest-f ree loan of £30k repayable only on the sale of our premises. Rugbyschoolthen supplemented this with a one-off loan of£10k on the same basis. The report ofthe Executive Committee sets out the areas of focus in the 2024-25 ac8demic year and continuing into this year. This includes: Ongoing marketing, includingthe appointment of a marketing support company, rebranding, the launch of a newwebsite and increased social media activity. Development ofthe curriculum, with new courses, earlyeveningcourses, more workshops. Wewelcome any ideas for new courses and contact bypotential tutors. An outreach to local companiesto see ifthey are interested in promotingthe Guildhouseto their employees. The primary route tothe Guildhouse becomingviable on an ongoing basis isto increase the number of students in each class to 10-11. This would cover both the tutor costs. staff costs and all other overheads. A Five-year Strategic Plan has been subject to several iterations in 2025. The Pla n shows the value that the Guildhouse provides to Rugby and sets out the actions designed to increase student enrolments. If we can achieve the targets in the Plan, we would have a further deficit lof c. £30kl in 2025-26, butwould be generating surpluses from then onwards. The Plan has been circulated to a number of possible sources of grants as we need around £30k funds to give us a suff icient balance to continue into the 2026-27 financialyear. We may need to seek Bankfunding, butthe cost of interestwill be an additional drain on our f inances. It is well understood thatthe Guildhouse needs to provide an online booking and payment f8cility, but this is a major challenge as the Guild house's database software cannot support this. Accord i ngiy, focus is on identityi ng a st8 ndalone online platform that can meet most of our functional needs. We know that currently we do not have the
f unds for this project. We either have to find a specif ic grant or we need to f inance this in futureyears as we move to surpluses. In Ihe meantime, the newwebsite provides an onli ne booking request form that can be sent to st8ff for them to follow up. During 2025 the Centenary Committee led byTrustee David Dove organised many events to celebratethe 100, anniversaryofthe founding of the Guildhouse in September 1925. The events both increased the profile of the Guildhouse and generated funds. The celebration culminated in a celebratory event ki ndly hosted by Rugbyschool. I wish to express mythanks to the committee forallthey did. An Archives team led by Liz Pichon was successful in attracting a signif ic8nt grant f rom the National Lottery Heritage Fund to preservethe Guildhouse's considerable collection. Where possible, digital records are being created. These have been put on display, with further presentations planned. I would like to express my thanks to all of our staff for their good work. The team of Sarah, Fiona, Lorraine, Tatjana and Joe shows great commitmentto the Guildhouse. l am also very grateful to the small number of my fellow Trustees - David Dove, Peter Reaney, David Thomson and Clare Turnbull- who have stayed committed to the Guildhouse and take on many responsibilities. In myview, it is not sustainable to continue withth8 current low numberof Trustees-five plus one potentialTrusteewho has been co-opted until being putforward for election at the AGM in January2026.

Centenary Committee Chairman's Report A diverse programme of centenary events ran successfully in 2025, culminating in a special celebratory evening, held in Rugby School, on the 8Ctual anniversary, 29, September. The committee's objectives in developingthis programme were-_ to increase the number of students by increasingthe awareness of the Percival Guildhouse in Rugbyand surrounding areas,. to celebrate 100 years of lifelong lea rning. to create a fun, friendly programme of events which recognised people who have, and continue to, make an impact atthe Guildhouse; to be at minimum cost neutral and potentially income generating. I can say with confidence that each of the above objectives was fully met. Significant media coverage, both online and in print, accompanied each event. Students and tutors, past and present, enjoyed social events celebrating the cultures of France and Italy, and a 'Thank you, tea party was very well attended. An Art & Crafts exhibition and Archives displaywere held in the RugbyArt Gallery& Museum whose support and assistance we greatly appreciate. We also participated in the National Heritage Weekend with a stunningdisplayof fashions through the ages curated bysheila Winterton and a furtherdisplay of ourarchives. Both garnered glowing praise f rom appreciative visitors over the two days. In addition, a writing competition involvi nE pupils from several local secondary schools, organised by committee member Andy Roughton, ran throughout the summer months. hopefully inspiringa next generation of Guildhouse students. To date the centenary programme hasgenerated in excess of £1.6ktowards Guildhouse funds with potentially more to come f rom the sale of writing competition booklets and prints and cards featuringan illustration of the Guildhouse byloc81 artist, Jim Watson. In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to my colleagues on the Centenary Com mittee who collectively, and individually, made it all happen- and so successfully. David Dove

Report of the Executive Committee The Executive Committee IECI is comprised of those Trustees elected at the AGM plus any others co-opted throughout the year a nd with the Centre Manager as an ex-officio rnem ber. The EC is primarily responsible for the good governance of the Charity, its strategic direction, its financialsustainability, the maintenance of the buildingand the safety of 811 users. The EC metthroughout the yearcontinuingto manage thefin8ncialsituation, support the Centre Managerand progress plansforthe Guildhouse to be a sustainable going concern. Duringthe academic year being reviewed heretherewere changes to Trustees with three departures and one new co-opted member (full details atAppendix11. These are separate to changes advised in lastyear'sAnnual Report & Accounts butwhich occurred after end July 2024. We currently have five very committed Trustees and one co-opted Trustee but need more. 3.La2yjLw oftb.e Year Two key factors gave the academic year August 2024-luly 2025 an increased sense of urgency, focus and momentum. The ongoingfinancialchallenge facingthe Guildhouse det8iled in the Chairman and Treasurer narratives-and the Centenary-detailed in the Centenarychairman's Report. Trustees, mindful of comments made 8t recent previous AGMS, have tried to harness offers of volunteer help, embraced the challenge of progressing online booking and payment, addressed the need to improve marketingand reviewed the curriculum offer. Narketing has been led by Trustee Clare Turnbull. After talking to several individ ual marketi ng specialists, includi ng volunteers, and i nterviewi ng two local companies, Trustees engaged strategic marketi ng specialists LvJfq Marketing in the late Spring of 2025 on a fixed-term basis. We have immediately experienced the benefit ofthis investment with a better planned, more structured approach to all activity. With LWM'S help we have rebranded the Guildhouse introducing8 new logo and, more importantly. a different way of talking aboutwhatwe offer betterto appealto potential new generations of students. In late June it became apparentthat applying changes to ourwebsite would require an entirely new site that conformed to all latest requirements and was capable of accepting all software updates. We are grateful both to LWM for the speed withwhich theydesigned and builtthe newsite for us and to the staff and trusteeswho devoted so much time duringthe summer holiday shutdown to ensure that the site was capable of goi ng live in time for the launch of the Autumn 2025 term in mid-August.
The new narrative pages on the website have greatly enhanced online visi bility of the Guildhouse. This is now complemented by social media campaigns managed by LWM, driving traff ic to the website and course bookings. The otherdedicated areas of focus fortrustees have been curriculum and sponsorship. A small team comprising trustees David Dove and Peter Reaney, assisted by volunteer Jill Dwyer8nd recentlyjoined by Sue Maguire has been progressingourcorporate Engagement with companies locally seekingto open conversations, demornstrate how involvement would benef it their employees and explore opportunities for sponsorshi p. The curriculum remains under constant review. Our Centre Manager, Sarah Gall, is regularly talking to potential new tutors, explori ng oppo rtunities to add to the tull-term or day courses that we can offer. We are grateful to our existing tutors whose high standards and supportfoster loyalty amongstudents. Their understandingand flexibility in helpingus chartthesefinancially perilous times is greatly appreciated. Our engagement with external organisations a nd participation in Borough events has helped to forge strong relationships and increase visibility. We are grateful to Rugby Firstfor its support in ourparticipation in Autumn and Spring Food & Drink Festivals and in the Rugby Literary Festival. We are also grateful to Rugby Borough Council- both councillors and officers-fortheir advice and supportwhich is ongoing. We are delighted to welcome CouncillorTimWillis, who has been appointed bythe Council as ourliaison councillor. Centenary events have provided a great platform for regula r publicity. Our than l<s to the editors of the Rugby Advertiser, Rugby Observer and many village newsletters for their coverage and to the Borough Council via The RugbyTown website and Rugby First via its website for helping to keep us f ront of mind with readers and followers. Elsewhere in this Report you will read about the great success that is our Arch ives Project. It has reminded us o* our proud past and inspired thoughts and passionsforthe future. Ourthanks toformertrustee, Liz Pichon, and her smallteam of assistants, notably Steve Becker and Peter Harris. Finally. the biggest thank you goes to our students, past and present, and to long-term regular donors and supporters. Their response to our appeal in December2024 in particularwas astounding and humbling (see Chairman's report). We also remain very gratefulto the Westham House Fund, RugbyGroup Benevolent Fund and Sir Edward Boughton Long Lavrford Charity, each of which has Steadfastly supported the Guildhouse over manyyears and responded yet againto special appeals.
ctives and Policies The Charity's objective is the adva ncement of the education of adults in the Rugby area. This objective is achieved principally bythe provision of.. A centre of activity l<nown as The Percival Gu ildhouse Adult education cou rses ru n by self-employed tutors in a wide range of subjects in our own and other premises and online. Our policy is to comply with all relevant legislation and regulations and to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. 3.L.2 PuLlic Benefit TheTrustees have read and understood the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. They consider that The Percival Guildhouse, whose charitable purpose is the advancement of education of adults in the Rugby area bythe provision ofan adult education centre, demonstrates public benefit by providingcourses includingthe arts, languages, h istory, exercise and crafts which are available to all adults. It also provides public benefit as it is more than just a centre of education. It is a communityof people who meet and make newfriends in a warm, welcoming, safe and supportive environment so helpi ng to reduce loneliness and social isolation. 3.2 Centre Manager's Report In the pastyearwe have seen gradual incremental improvement in student enrolments butthe Guildhouse continuesto sufferfrom the impact ofthe COVID-19 pandemic. Overall enrolments are still only 60¥0 of pre-pa ndemic numbers. We have significantly increased our marketing activities to raise public awareness ofall opportunities to learn something new in a safe and welcomingenvironment. We are gratefulforthe support we receive from volunteers who helpto distribute ourterm brochures far and wide and to the editors of a host ofvillage and parish newsletters for carrying regulararticles about our courses and events.

Rugby Borough Council mai ntains the Guildhouse gardens as a pleasant, green oasis in this built-up corner of the town. We have taken part in community activities to raise awareness, including a stall in Rugby Central, promotion of our courses in the library and attending the Rugby Food
& Drink Festivals. We also attended the Rugby Place Branding Masterclass at the Council. We have strengthened our relationshi p with Rugby First and the Community Developmentworkers organisation. Duringthis year we held a series of eventsto celebrate our Centenaryyear. These events resulted in a significant increase in our exposure in local print and online media and raised our prof i le significantly. We believe this contributed to an increase in student enrolments inthe SummerTerm. We continue to printand distribute brochures e8ch term, in addition to promoting all courses via ourwebsite, social media channels and the wider media. In this year 8 total of 3,500 printed brochures were issued. We supplemented this with printed flyers. We are grateful to all outlets who display our brochures and to the volunteers who distribute them. We also produced newsletters each term emailed to all current students and posted on our website promoting upcoming events in the term and workshops. Our social mediafollowingcontinues to grow butwe really need 8llsupporters and students with a social media account both to follow us on Facebook and Instagram and to share Guildhouse posts. This could amplifyouroutput exponentially and help us to reach important newaudiences. Sarah Gall

In common with the last four years these income levels have still not recovered to those of earlieryears priorto the COVID-19 pandemic. On the expense side, tutors, fees and class expenses increased from £77,579 to £78,576. The overallfinancial resultfortheGuildhouse has been a deficitfortheyearof £5.340. However, this includes £6,921 net income for the Archives, which means that the underlying def icit was £12,261 , compared with £30,679 for the previous year. This improvement is largely due to generous donations and grants as stated in the attached accounts. Be assured that our Trustees have been striving to improve our ongoi ng f inances, but above all an increase in class enrolments and attendances is vital. 4.1.1 Grants We received total grants i n the year of £11,500 compared with £5.000 in the previous year.

- The Percival Guildhouse Archive Project In March 2024, we were pleased to be informed that our National Lottery Heritage Fund bid to assist the preservation of the Percival Guildhouse arch ives had been successful. The project has two overlapping aims.. to catalogue, conserve and digitise the Percival Guildhouse archives and to create a public accesswebsite. allwith the aim of preserving the archive for posterity,. and, using items from the archive, to enhance public engagement through a variety of activities ce ntring on the history of the Percival Guildhouse and its widercontributions tothe heritage of Rugbyand surrounding districts in its Centenary year11925-20251- Experts trom the National Archives and from Warwickshire County Records Off ice, which will be stori ng originals of the Guildhouse materi81, testify to the importance of the archives. "The Percival Guildhouse archive holds significant importance as 8 compreh8nsive record of the institution s activities Rugby over the last 700 years. Itprovides a unique
insightinto the lives and experiences of the working-class community, particu18rlyin the realm ofeducation. The documents within this archive are a testament to the efforts of individuals who sought to improve theircircumstances through learningancl those who offered them a Lvay to do it. As custodi8ns of W8nNickshire s historic81 records, we recognise the immense value of preservingsuch records. The Percival Guildhouse archive will not onlyenrich our existing Gollections but also serve 8s a vital resource forresearchers, historians, and the generalpublic. It will help to illuminate a lesser-known aspect ofthe historyofworking- class education and contribute to 8 br08der understanding of social dyn8mics in Rugby." Richard Lewis, Heritage and culture Service Manager (Collections), Warwickshire CountyRecord Office. In lune 2025, a public exhibition of the archiveswas held at RugbyArt Gallery and Museum. It drew on digitised a rchive photos and expla natory text to create a timeline of the historyof the PercivalGuildhouse, and significantthemes, people and milestones otthe organisation. Feedbackfrom the exhibition was overwhelmingly positive. A further series of public events is planned, including six Heritage Forums on specific themes relatingto the historyof the Percival Guildhouse. The project completes in September2026.
