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 />

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 />
