FROM THE PROVOST<br />

Dr Claire Craig<br />

Over the past five years our Old Members and Friends<br />

have helped us create a community that is as well<br />

positioned as possible to support our students and<br />

researchers of today, and those of tomorrow. It is a<br />

pleasure to now be able to share and celebrate with<br />

you just some of the many successes that occurred<br />

in the first phase of our development programme,<br />

Access All Areas.<br />

Our students and<br />

researchers have had much<br />

to celebrate and be grateful<br />

for thanks to our donors<br />

Access All Areas was launched in the academic year<br />

2016–17 to build on the success of the College’s<br />

transformative New Library project. With the creation<br />

of this latest new and valuable space befitting a worldclass<br />

academic institution, the College decided to<br />

focus its next set of fundraising efforts on providing<br />

for those who make the Queen’s community the<br />

dynamic, vibrant and enriching home that it is –<br />

its people.<br />

Our students and researchers have had much to<br />

celebrate and be grateful for thanks to our donors<br />

during this five-year journey, and in this report we are<br />

excited to show you the reasons why.<br />

We have also illustrated the College’s finances and<br />

demonstrated how our endowment is called upon<br />

to support nearly all aspects of life at Queen’s –<br />

something our Old Members indicated in the 2020<br />

summer survey that they would like to know more<br />

about. During the first phase of Access All Areas our<br />

donors continued to provide the College with muchneeded<br />

financial flexibility and resilience – donating<br />

over £3.5M in unrestricted endowment to support<br />

the College’s Greatest Area of Need.<br />

gifts is complex, but to help shed some light on why<br />

this part of the College is so vital, we have included<br />

a visual explanation of how the endowment provides<br />

the lifeblood of Queen’s. In that explanation you<br />

will see more about how, each year, the College’s<br />

endowment is called upon to improve the Queen’s<br />

experience and environment for those currently in<br />

residence, while also ensuring that our community<br />

continues to exist and thrive for those who will one<br />

day join us.<br />

As we complete the first phase of Access All Areas,<br />

we are extremely grateful for all that our donors have<br />

helped Queen’s accomplish over these past five<br />

years. These strong foundations will underpin the<br />

second phase, which will continue to strengthen<br />

and develop the Queen’s community, help sustain<br />

Queen’s strong academic traditions, and instil a<br />

sense of confidence that we are all looking after the<br />

College as best we can for those who will follow.<br />

On behalf of the College’s students, staff, and<br />

Governing Body, thank you again to all of those<br />

who have chosen to support us in our life-changing<br />

mission.<br />

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT<br />

Dr Justin B. Jacobs<br />

Thank you to the over 1,600 Old Members and<br />

Friends who have made a gift to Queen’s over the<br />

first five years of Access All Areas. The impact and<br />

results on the College community during this first<br />

phase have been significant and we are pleased to<br />

be able to share them with you in this year’s extended<br />

<strong>Development</strong> <strong>Report</strong>.<br />

When Access All Areas was launched in 2016-17 it<br />

was with the intention that the College’s fundraising<br />

should shift away from the built environment and<br />

start to focus specifically on those who make<br />

Queen’s the dynamic and life-changing place that<br />

it is: its students and academics. Coming after the<br />

successful completion of the New Library Campaign,<br />

Access All Areas has sought to highlight where the<br />

support of Old Members and Friends can make a real<br />

The £23M donated has<br />

provided significantly and<br />

substantially to those who<br />

call Queen’s their home<br />

and tangible difference within<br />

the areas of Student Support,<br />

Academic Excellence and Access and<br />

Outreach.<br />

Fast forward to 2020-21 and the over £23M donated<br />

has provided significantly and substantially to many of<br />

those who call Queen’s their home. These successes<br />

also show that the willingness of Old Members and<br />

Friends to support the life and work of our community<br />

continues to be a significant feature of the College’s<br />

long history: starting with Queen Philippa and<br />

Robert de Eglesfield and continuing through others<br />

such as Joseph Williamson, Elizabeth Hastings, and<br />

Henry Laming.<br />

As we celebrate our 680th anniversary and the<br />

successful conclusion of the first phase of Access<br />

All Areas in 2021, I would like to extend our sincere<br />

thanks to each of our donors who have joined this<br />

long line of Benefactors and contributors to Queen’s.<br />

Thanks to your generosity, the Queen’s community<br />

will continue to grow and be able to position itself for<br />

even greater successes in the years to come.<br />

The Bursar<br />

INCOME VS EXPENDITURE<br />

Financial Year, 2020 – 2021<br />

Total: £4,680 (000s)<br />

The College’s endowment principally consists of<br />

the capital gifts made to the College throughout<br />

its lifetime. The endowment provides income to<br />

the College which helps to fund almost all areas of<br />

College life: without it the College could not possibly<br />

operate at its current level.<br />

When we say that something is endowed we generally<br />

mean that there is a capital gift that provides income<br />

to support a specific activity (for example, a Fellowship<br />

in History). Once the gift has grown (through further<br />

gifts and/or investment growth) to the level at which<br />

it provides enough income to fund the entirety of<br />

the specific activity, we consider that activity to be<br />

permanently endowed in perpetuity.<br />

The endowment is invested principally in public<br />

equity and property. The target allocation is roughly<br />

65% equity and 35% property (itself split roughly 40:60<br />

between agricultural and commercial investments).<br />

We try to keep things simple and to minimise fees,<br />

transactions, and the involvement of intermediaries.<br />

Thus, almost all of the equity funds in which we invest<br />

are passively managed, and all of our property is<br />

directly owned.<br />

The goal is that the endowment grows in real terms<br />

while also generating an inflation-protected income<br />

stream for the College. To that end we target an<br />

annual real return of at least 5.5%, of which 2% is left<br />

unspent (reflecting our planning assumption that our<br />

costs rise roughly 2% ahead of consumer inflation),<br />

thus leaving us with a 3.5% sustainable drawdown.<br />

(The College draws income on a total-return basis,<br />

so the actual cash yield of the investments is ignored.)<br />

The drawdown is calculated by applying this formula<br />

to a five-year trailing average value of the endowment,<br />

thus smoothing the rises and falls in markets.<br />

This stops the College over-expanding in good times<br />

and then having to cut its activities when markets fall;<br />

while conservative, this approach has been extremely<br />

successful in the past 15 years, and has enabled us<br />

to weather major crises without needing to shrink the<br />

College’s activities.<br />

ENDOWMENT PERFORMANCE, 2020 – 2021<br />

Investment performance in 2020–21 was mixed.<br />

Our equity investments tracked the generally robust<br />

performance of global stock markets, generating<br />

a total return of 22% (our performance reflects our<br />

strategic underweighting of the US and overweighting<br />

of the UK, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets).<br />

Our agricultural property saw modest rises in capital<br />

values, reflecting the fact that land values have<br />

held up well. The situation was rather different with<br />

respect to commercial property, however, where the<br />

College’s predominantly retail investments suffered a<br />

very difficult year, with several tenants struggling to<br />

clear arrears or to put forward viable recovery plans.<br />

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE<br />

Access All Areas Phase One<br />

As Senior Tutor I help to ensure that Queen’s<br />

provides its students with the best possible<br />

academic environment and experience. Thanks to<br />

the Old Members and Friends who have supported<br />

our students as part of Access All Areas, we can<br />

be confident that our undergraduate and graduate<br />

students can remain focused on getting the most<br />

out of their studies and time here in Oxford.<br />

The College is proud of its long and recognised<br />

tradition of being one of the premier academic<br />

colleges in Oxford. While our placing third in the most<br />

recent Norrington Table is notable, it’s particularly<br />

impressive because our students produced such<br />

successful exam results in the middle of a pandemic:<br />

a testament to their resilience and to the support<br />

they receive from the College.<br />

As tutors, we strive to unlock the<br />

potential of all those who come to study<br />

with us, and we feel a strong sense of satisfaction<br />

when the skills and experiences gained here are<br />

applied in lives and careers after graduation.<br />

The time spent at Queen’s is short, precious, and<br />

important. On behalf of all the tutors in College, I wish<br />

to thank you for playing such an important part in<br />

helping us create such a welcoming and supportive<br />

environment for today’s students and tomorrow’s<br />

Old Members.<br />

ACCESS AND OUTREACH<br />

Access All Areas Phase One<br />

The past five years has seen a great enhancement<br />

of our Access and Outreach work at Queen’s.<br />

Many outreach programmes were well established<br />

within the College when I took up the role of<br />

Schools Liaison, Outreach and Recruitment Officer<br />

in May 2019. A partnership with The Ambassador<br />

Platform had been in place since 2018, with this<br />

online platform (accessible via the Queen’s website)<br />

allowing prospective applicants to chat to current<br />

Queen’s students in a safe online space. This has<br />

proved to be really useful for students in getting<br />

application advice and reassurance about the<br />

university experience here. Also already established<br />

was the North-West Science Programme, which<br />

gives scientifically-minded students from our North-<br />

West link areas the opportunity to visit Queen’s for an<br />

academically-focused residential during their Easter<br />

holidays; and we had also developed a strong working<br />

relationship with Lewisham Council and Gonville and<br />

Caius College, Cambridge, with whom we deliver<br />

the Lewisham University Challenge Programme,<br />

The past five years has seen<br />

a great enhancement of our<br />

Access and Outreach work<br />

at Queen’s<br />

‘In 2021, the College<br />

took significant steps to<br />

reconnect with its northern<br />

roots. We are proud of our<br />

commitment to our four partner<br />

schools in Cumbria and Darwen and look forward<br />

to working closely with them and TAP to inspire<br />

and prepare a cohort of talented students for the<br />

life-changing opportunities a university education<br />

can provide. The journey from the North to Oxford<br />

has been part of Queen’s DNA since the fourteenth<br />

century and we are excited to be able to revitalise it<br />

for future generations.’<br />

Professor Lindsay Turnbull<br />

Fellow in Plant Sciences and Michel Fellow; Tutor<br />

for Outreach and Access<br />

a sustained contact<br />

programme for highachieving<br />

students in the<br />

borough. I have enjoyed<br />

developing these activities and<br />

meeting the challenges of adapting<br />

them to an online format throughout the course of<br />

the pandemic - alongside creating new initiatives<br />

such as our International Book Club for Schools and<br />

our Re-Viewing the World Project with the Queen’s<br />

Translation Exchange, to encourage young people<br />

to engage with modern foreign languages. We have<br />

seen many participants from these schemes go on<br />

to take up places at Oxford, Cambridge, and other<br />

top universities and have been delighted to see them<br />

doing so well now as undergraduates. As the world<br />

moves towards normality in <strong>2022</strong>, outreach work<br />

has been able to return to face-to-face events and<br />

prospective applicants will be welcomed back to<br />

Queen’s for visits and residentials this year.<br />

We will be launching the in-person element of our<br />

new partnership with The Access Project later on in<br />

<strong>2022</strong>. Through this work we will be able to provide<br />

increased support through a sustained contact<br />

programme with four North-West schools. We hope<br />

that by working directly within these schools we<br />

will be able to make a more tangible impact on<br />

the lives of young people from backgrounds that<br />

are currently underrepresented in highly-selective<br />

higher education institutions. Our partnership with<br />

The Access Project will initially be for a three-year<br />

period. However, we hope that in years to come we<br />

will be able to extend the partnership and with it the<br />

educational support that we can offer within these<br />

communities to other schools throughout Blackburn<br />

with Darwen, Blackpool, Cumbria, and Lancashire.<br />

Thank you to all our Old Members and Friends who<br />

have supported our outreach work over the years –<br />

we greatly appreciate your involvement, kindness,<br />

and generosity. We look forward to working with<br />

you to continue enhancing these exciting initiatives<br />

in <strong>2022</strong> and beyond.<br />

STUDENT SUPPORT<br />

Access All Areas Phase One<br />

Over the past five years, Queen’s graduate students<br />

have benefitted tremendously from the generosity<br />

of our Old Members and Friends. Your support has<br />

helped create both general and subject-specific<br />

scholarships that have allowed our graduate<br />

community to pursue research across a range of<br />

topics. As the Tutor for Graduate Studies, and on<br />

behalf of the MCR, I want to thank you again for<br />

your support.<br />

LEGACY GIVING:<br />

ACCESS ALL AREAS PHASE ONE<br />

Legacy gifts have always been vital to the Queen’s<br />

College, protecting and enhancing our academic<br />

excellence and nurturing generations of students.<br />

Over the past five years, Old Members and Friends<br />

have given legacy gifts totalling over £6 million. Thanks<br />

to this enormous generosity, Queen’s has created<br />

new academic Fellowships, provided additional library<br />

resources and offered an outstanding education and<br />

experience to our students.<br />

Old Members and Friends who pledge a gift in<br />

their wills are investing in the future of Queen’s and<br />

the potential of the next generation of students.<br />

To recognise the importance of these gifts, anyone<br />

who pledges a legacy gift is invited to join the<br />

Taberdars’ Society and to attend a special<br />

annual lunch. If you would like to know more<br />

about supporting Queen’s in this way or joining the<br />

Taberdars’ Society, please contact our Legacy Giving<br />

Officer, Catherine House.<br />
