To safeguard and maintain the property and gardens at Reveley Lodge, Bushey Herts, so that it can be used as an arts and educational resource and recreation for local schools and community activities and also to encourage and enhance the activities of the Bushey Museum, a separate charitable institution, as well as related community organisations.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted income increased marginally to £179,015 while total expenditure rose to £170,702, resulting in a modest profit of £8,313. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £5,328,057, which the trustees note have recovered from a low of £50,000 in March 2024 due to recent renovation spending.
