The Alexandra Palace and Park Board meeting scheduled for Thursday 11 June 2026 was set to cover a range of strategic and operational matters concerning the Alexandra Park and Palace. Key discussions were anticipated to revolve around the adoption of a new ten-year Strategic Plan, appointments to various committees, and the recruitment of a Co-opted Development Trustee.

Strategic Plan 2035

A significant portion of the meeting was scheduled to focus on the Strategic Plan 2035 ¹. This comprehensive ten-year plan outlines how the Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust (APPCT) intends to deliver a step change in its vision and goals. The plan details six strategic objectives, including upgrading infrastructure, enhancing the site as a year-round destination, establishing a creative campus, progressing heritage conservation and skills training, improving environmental sustainability, and strengthening strategic partnerships. The report pack indicated that the plan had been developed over 18 months with extensive consultation and research, and it would guide fundraising, conservation, operations, and audience growth. The board was expected to note the background of the plan's development and for the Chair to approve the foreword prior to publication.

Appointments to Committees

The board was scheduled to consider Appointments to Committees ², a report detailing the proposed memberships for various committees and boards. This included appointments to the Finance, Risk, Resource and Audit Committee (FRRAC), the Alexandra Palace Trading Limited (APTL) Board, and the Capital Programme Board. Recommendations were to be made regarding the appointment of Trustee Board members to these bodies, including the selection of chairs for FRRAC and APTL. The report also noted the existing memberships of the Statutory Advisory Committee and the Consultative Committee.

Co-opted Development Trustee Recruitment

Another key item on the agenda was the Co-opted Development Trustee Report ³. This report provided background on the recruitment process for a Co-opted Development Trustee, a non-voting member who would advise the board on the Development Strategy and chair a working group of volunteer advocates. The recruitment process was set to begin in June, with the expectation that a recommendation for appointment would be presented to a future board meeting. The role description had been revised to reflect the charity's new vision, goals, fundraising strategy, and strategic plan.

Feedback from Advisory and Consultative Committees

The meeting was also set to receive Feedback from the Advisory Committee & Consultative Committee ⁴ on a verbal basis. This would provide an opportunity for the board to hear updates and consider any recommendations from these associated committees.
