REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
This is a deliberately much reduced report, partly owing to Covid affecting most of the year. A more detailed and compete report covering events in the reporting year and post balance sheet issues will be included in our next report. |
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). |
COVID-19 |
This report is once again written to cover the shortened report last year caused by the ramifications surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in March 2020 and ended in February 2022. The House Mill Trust (HMT) was able to start activities once again and a slow recovery is taking place. |
HMT remains committed to its plans towards the major restoration project, within its overall future strategy but also as an education and intelligence sharing resource, with a range of other heritage projects. Fundraising during this year has proved very difficult during the compulsory closed periods, even though emergency sources of funding were identified and, in several instances, applied for. As HMT was holding funds it had raised through building sale, and ringfenced for the early restoration works, the Trust was therefore deemed not to be in need of the emergency funding, and sadly therefore its applications were unsuccessful. |
House Mill bookings have started again we are slowly working back towards re-opening in every sense, although new business opportunities will need to be identified, in view of the continued working from home strategy resulting in less meeting room hire. |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Public benefit |
The public benefits of the project have been reviewed and whilst the primary benefit remains the preservation of the Grade 1 listed House Mill and its restoration to a working mill, the peripheral benefits have been redefined. |
Since our last report the Trust has continued developing its objectives and planning future activities in line with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefits. A full programme of Activities, Exhibitions and Meetings is slowly developing beyond the financial year end with Open House and Open Heritage are back on the schedule, which are both very busy times for House Mill and usually an important income stream for the café, which has also reopened. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Progress |
The Trust has continued to undertake some smaller works that were previously part of the original scheme which will mean slight variations on any whole-restoration project resubmission, but they do demonstrate the Trust's ability to deliver. The specialist volunteer work on replacement of some floorboards within the ground floor of House Mill with appropriately sourced reclaimed timber has continued when lockdown permitted. |
Archive digitization has also progressed a little, and other works around improving the archive further have recommenced. Works to the Archive itself continue with volunteer and trustee research ongoing. This too has been curtailed as the main source of our current research is Hackney Archive, which also had to close throughout the pandemic. Some of the previously sourced material will be used towards the creation of short films, to enhance the visitor offer and the digital presence, going forward. A new archive room has been established for public access. |
As described in last year's Report, a detailed survey of refurbishment works to the exterior of the buildings has been prepared and talks held with Historic England. The detail of these works will be included in the fuller report referred to above. |
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 caused by the rising tide levels. This appears to be as a result of changes to the configurations to the tidal River Lea. This, we understand, is further added to by some of the local developments, where permissions have been given, in isolation, to extend into parts of what was the riverbed. On site meetings have been re-established and joint meeting with all appropriate agencies are planned. |
Education |
Our relationship with the Building Crafts College continues, but once again the site visits by their students have resumed. |
The Trust has offered various local charitable organizations complimentary use of the classroom for a variety of training activities. These have included environmental projects, local residents and other community and education groups. |
General |
For the 2021 - 2022 Season, House Mill had arranged a full programme of Tours, Events, Exhibitions and Special openings. However, with the three lengthy lockdowns during the pandemic everything had to be cancelled, or postponed until such time opening for large numbers will once again be possible |
Visitor numbers are the following: |
Art Gallery | 265 |
Classroom | 628 |
Meeting Rooms/Events | 4598 |
Cafe | 1778 |
Guided Tours, special openings only | 515 |
Total Visitors numbers | 7784 |
(excluding digital visitors, and cafe takeaway clients) |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
The financial results for the year to 30 June 2022 are shown in the attached financial statements (pages 9 to 11). |
Total income increased from £22,343 to £36,026 and total expenditure decreased from £57,192 to £52,182 in comparison with the previous period. This is largely because of the pandemic, and resultant closure of activities. |
The expenses increased because of the additional maintenance items, pilot replacement window, continuing floorboard replacement, fire alarm upgrade and digitalisation of the Trust's archive. |
There was a net decrease in funds of £16,156 (2021 - net decrease £34,849) with total unrestricted funds (excluding the designated funds) carried forward of -£9,955 (2021- £6,201). |
Reserves and Investment Policy and Risk Review |
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equates to at least three months unrestricted expenditure. As at 30 June 2022 the required level was £13,000. This provides sufficient funds to cover administration and support costs on an ongoing basis. Unrestricted funds were maintained above this level throughout the year. |
At the year end the charity had surplus reserves of -£9,955 (2021 - 6,201). In calculating the reserves, the trustees have excluded from total funds, the value of fixed assets less related loan obligations. |
The trustees are extensively reviewing the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the assets including operations and finances of the charity. We need to be satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to any major risks. This is particularly relevant at this time of pandemic and the Trust's activities (and resultant income streams) having to be almost entirely closed for the duration. |
The House Mill and The Miller's House have been valued for insurance purposes at £12,193,842 and £2,009,499 respectively. These are rebuilding valuations. |
Business Plan |
The Trust's Business Plan contains full details of the restoration project, the Trust's operation, and income and expenditure projections for five years post restoration. The Plan is robust and a living document. . The business case proposes that with the employment of key staff, supported by the volunteer team, the House Mill itself will be open for at least 5 days a week, with some seasonal variations. The café will be open 7 days a week also with seasonal variations. It includes a full range of Events, corporate hire, meeting room hire, gin tastings and weddings. Successful 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, events, corporate hire, weddings, enhanced café and shop and hydro-electricity. There is further income from tenants and potential for income from an evening/weekend bar, but these have not been included into the Plan, at this stage. |
The Trust had planned to extend its activities, to challenge both the Activity Plan and the Business Plan, and to continue financial sustainability in advance of the restoration project. However, this has not been possible. As above, the Trust is working to establish new business models and income streams as income from meeting room hire is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels because of the introduction of remote meeting possibilities using Teams/Zoom etc. |
The café was open only when lockdowns permitted, and mostly as takeaway service only. It is clearly hoped that some of the postponed events will return, but unrealistic that they all shall. HMT retains contact with its booked clients, artists and of course the volunteer team. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
HMT is licensed by the LB Newham as a an approved Premises for Marriages in Pursuance of Section 26(1) of The Marriage Act 1949 and as a Venue for Civil Partnerships in Pursuance of Section 6(3a)(A) of The Civil Partnership Act 2004. Only one wedding was possible during this year. |
The third-floor room continues to be rented to another charitable organisation, Chain Reaction Theatre Company. They are a small charity, which has been working for more than 25 years; delivering education and inspiring young people to make positive choices about issues that affect their day to day lives. During the pandemic Chain Reaction continued to pay their rent throughout lockdown, although their staff were either furloughed or working from home. We thank them for this, and for their general support of House Mill Trust. |
Prospects |
Three Mills Island remains in a period of regeneration, with several local major regeneration projects underway or proposed. The House Mill is on the cusp of all of them but not directly included in any, although the Trust is in discussion with the main developers and the planning authorities, and in particular, the LLDC there is, as yet, nothing positive to report. The developments, in the main, a mixture of residential and business use, give the Trust the possibility of Sec 106 benefits. These developments are constantly monitored by one of our advisors who is in regular contact with the relevant Planning Authorities and developers. |
LLDC is the designated planning authority for the Three Mills area, and in June 2013 it began a public consultation process for plans to regenerate the Bromley by Bow area. This is of enormous importance to the House Mill restoration project. We have previously quoted on the LLDC literature regarding the regeneration of Bromley by Bow and the new conservation area. |
The core of the Legacy Corporation's role, as defined by the Mayor of London, is "to promote and deliver physical, social, economic and environmental regeneration in the Olympic Park and surrounding area". The Southern Olympic Fringe comprises Pudding Mill Lane, Sugar House Lane, Three Mills, and Bromley by Bow. The area was incorporated within the LLDC's boundary for inter alia the following reasons: |
- It has a huge regeneration potential given its strategic location, extensive areas of unused or underused industrial land and unique waterway and heritage setting. |
- The prospects of successful regeneration are assisted by the Legacy Corporation as a single regeneration organisation. |
- Securing the delivery of the regeneration of Bromley by Bow, in particular the connectivity improvements, is key to unlocking the potential of the Three Mills site.". |
As previously reported, the Trust is always encouraged and motivated by these kinds of statements. The Trust contributed to the LDDC consultation document regarding the Bromley by Bow SPD Masterplan and Public Realm Strategy in November 2016. More recently the Trust has contributed to the 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 106 gains. |
The Trust continues its relationship with Historic England and pre-lockdown was in talks around the planned refurbishment works to the buildings' exteriors. We understand that House Mill is one of their priority projects for restoration. |
The Trust also acknowledges the encouragement and support of numerous bodies, and it will continue to build on those relationships in the interests of the Mill and its environs. |
Our risk assessment process continues to be reviewed and maintained. We are working towards further improving our website, and our other social media, to become our main information points. This will enable House Mill to become more visible even when the building is physically closed, and to ensure that both the heritage of the building, and the ongoing and future activities, are widely publicized. |
We remain convinced that the Trust has a unique and magnificent project in the House Mill. We believe the Trust can go forward with confidence, moving towards successful fundraising in the future enabling the restoration to take place and saving the largest remaining tidal mill in the world for generations to come. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |
HOUSE MILL TRUST LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01928896) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees have approved Articles of Association that represent the Trusts current objects, and which have been filed with Companies House and the Charity Commission. |
The Code of Governance prepared as part of the development and restructuring of the management of the restoration project and the Trust continues to be significant, well managed and undergoes regular review. |
Additionally, the recent plethora of Codes of Practice, Guidelines, GDPR and changes in legislation place further pressures on trustees and volunteers alike. The trust is conscious of the need to comply, to these policies, and will endeavour to do so. Governance covers a broad spectrum of requirements. The Governance Working Group is drawing up new guidance, in line with the NCVO guidance for micro charities, but with particular relevance to House Mill Trust, and these will ensure that The Trust has correct procedures in place covering all aspects of our activities. |
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees |
The Articles of Association stipulate that there must be a minimum of three trustees and there is no maximum number of trustees. Additional trustees may be appointed by the existing trustees at any time, either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing trustees. Any trustees so appointed will hold office only until the next Annual General Meeting and will then be eligible for re-election. |
Potential trustees are invited to informally attend trustee meetings prior to appointment and a comprehensive induction programme is available. Additionally, individual trustees may undertake external training in a particular area of their role on the Governing Body. |
Induction and Training of new trustees |
The charitable entity strives to ensure equal opportunities and diversity in the employment of staff and trustee appointments. Selection criteria and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. |
Organisational Structure |
The company was once again managed and run during the year by volunteers. Strategic, financial, and technical management is exercised by the appropriate directors. Operational management is mostly undertaken by two of the directors, who both have involvement with volunteers, operations and events. The need for operational staff is identified and it is hoped that once the pandemic has passed that funding will become available towards this. |
The Trust remains conscious of the need to maintain its trustee numbers and expertise, going forward. |
Working Groups |
Each group is chaired by a Trustee with each working group deciding its own agenda, meeting regularly, and reporting actions directly to the board. The members consist of Trustees, Advisors and key partners, reporting back to the main board. |
For much of this year the working groups have either met largely by zoom or been put on hold. |
All directors of the company are also trustees of the charity and there are no other trustees. At each Annual General Meeting, one-third of the directors (the longest serving) are obliged to retire from office. Each director so retiring is eligible for re-election. The Board has the power to appoint additional directors; any director co-opted during the year must stand for election at the next annual general meeting. Trustees with relevant experience or expertise are sought through canvassing and advertising and newly appointed trustees are provided with relevant training and induction. |
HOUSE MILL TRUST LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01928896) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 30 June 2022 |
Going forward we also hope to attract more of the immediately local communities, and young people. Once the 2023 Season is up and running we will host some "meet the neighbours" initiatives to introduce them to this site, and also to encourage new and existing residents to join us on the journey. |
Once again, much credit must be given to the greater involvement of our volunteers who have continued to embrace the new and wide ranging opportunities, we have brought to House Mill during the last few years. Our volunteers ensure we remain open for the public on our regular published openings, - albeit very limited this year. We thank them all for their continued support without which the Trust could not operate. |
Induction and training of new trustees |
The charitable entity strives to ensure equal opportunities and diversity in the employment of staff and trustee appointments. Selection criteria and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities. |
Risk management |
The trustees have reviewed the risks to which the charity is exposed and ensures appropriate controls are in place. The Trust has re-valued its properties for insurance purposes. |
The risk register is being rewritten to reflect the working group definitions. Each of the working groups will identify the risks to assets within their responsibilities and ensure the treatment of those risks is managed effectively. |
