Wheal Martyn Trust Trustees Group Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2024 Chairman's Introductlon l am pleased to introduce our Annual Report for 2023124, which details the achievements of our charity during the last 12 months towards preserving and sharing the important heritage of Cornwall's china clay industry, helping to inspire and inform our communities, visitors to the area, and those who engage with Wheal Martyn remotely. In the face of challenges presented by the economy, which impact on our audiences as well as our own activities, we have still engaged more people and broadened our reach as we work to achieve our vision - Confident Communities Inspiring Others. With the continued support of Cornwall Council through their Culture and Creative Investment Programme and renewed funding from Arts Council England through investment via the new mc7 Consortia we are able to offer more opportunities for our local communities across the clay and wider St. Austell area, many of which face challenges arising from high levels of known deprivation. Our wonderful team of volunteers remain invaluable to our work the knowledge, experience, skills, enthusiasm and dedication they bring enables visitors to gain so much more from their time at Wheal Martyn as well as bigger steps to be made with preserving and making our collections increasingly accessible. Specific mention must go to our China Clay History Society volunteers who have continued the lengthy task of repackaging the archive, ensuring this vital documentary record of the industry is in a safer and more secure condition for the future. Over the last year we have implemented new initiatives such as a programme of music events and new fundraising activity, both of which attracting new audiences and supporting income generation. Funding from The Woltson Foundation enabled the installation of more efficient lighting and heating whilst Cultivator Cornwall (European Social Funds, Arts Council England and Cornwall Council investment) and Cornwall Community Foundation grants funded the purchase of a kiln, enabling new creative workshops to be offered. As we continue to face the challenges arising from the financial climate, we remain adaptable and I know that our team will tackle these head on and build on previous successes whilst also finding new ways to provide affordable opportunities for our communicates to enjoy and benefit from Wheal Martyn. In the year ahead we look forward to commencing our project Readying Wheal Martyn forthe Future, with support of funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which will see us progress plans to benefit the historic buildings, visitor experience and expand volunteering. I hope you enjoy reading of our progress and are inspired to join us in realising our ambitious plans at Wheal Martyn, whilst also contributing to the delivery of broader strategies such as Cornwall Council's Creative Manifesto and Arts Council England's Let's Create, to meet the needs of our existing and new audiences. We remain positive about the future and by working with OLJr partners and supporters know that we can tackle the challenges that lie ahead with optimism. Thank you to all those individual donors, Friends, funding bodies, volunteers and staff who have contributed to the success and impact Whea5 Martyn has achieved over the last year - your help has enabled more opportunities for people within our communities to gain from cultural experiences rooted in their heritage.

Wheal Martyn Trust Trustees Group Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2024 including equality and diversity, welcoming visitors, collections, health and safety, carbon literacy, First Aid and many more. Several specific instances of training have been referred to earlier in this report. FINANCIAL REVIEW The net deficit on unrestricted funds in the year for the group of £599 before transfers to restricted funds and tax, is much better than anticipated. This is mainly due to higher than expected visitor numbers, resulting in an increase in admissions income for the TrLfSt and Café sales for the trading subsidiary. Wheal Martyn Trust generated an unrestricted deficit for the year of £670, which is after a small contribution to two projects, the Creative Investment fund and the Wolfson's Sustainability fund, of £71. Wheal Martyn Enterprises Limited made a profit of £17,504 before interest payable and payment of 2023 taxable profit of £21,948 to the Trust. The taxable profit in 2023124 of £17,724 will be gift aided to the Trust in 2024. There is a net surplus of £69,864 in the year on total funds. This is due to restricted income from funders being recognised in the year in which the charity is legally entitled to the funds, but expenditure will be incurred in future years. The net surplus for the prior year has been restated to account for a grant funding from Woltson's Sustainability Fund of £15,800 which was awarded near the end of 2022123 at which point the charity was legally entitled to the funds and should have been recognised in the 2022123 accounts. The total reserves held at 31 January 2024 increased to £1,688,212 <2023, £1,618,348 Restated) which comprised of £147,788 (2023: £148,458) unrestricted funds and £1,540,424 (2023- £1,469,890 Restated) restricted funds. Reserves policy The Trustees review the reserves policy annually. The review takes into account the need for the charity to hold reserves to cover the major financial risks to the income and costs of the charity. The Trustees have agreed to maintain the reserves target at £100,000. This is in response to the continued economic concerns affecting the tourism industry in Cornwall and the significant roadworks occurring in year which may have a detrimental impact on visitor numbers. These reserves will cover core operating costs for at least four months, lease commitments and an allowance for unbudgeted costs or a downturn in income. The reserves target relates to the unrestricted free reserves only and excludes fixed assets. Free reseNes for the group as at 31 January 2024 were £117,221 (2023,. £128,494) after accounting for tangible assets of £30,567 (see note 21 }. This is above our current target of £100,000. The excess funds will be used to cover the anticipated losses for forthcoming year as a consequence of the increase in costs due to inflationary pressures and the challenges of increasing our income during a cost of living crisis. Principal Funding Sources The charity's principal income comes from museum admission charges and trading income from Café and Gift Shop. Low key fundraising activity during the year included a series of music nights; a joint fundraising shanty event working with Mevagissey Shanty Festival,. two second hand 'cloths swap, evenings,. and 2 Wine and Wisdom event supported by Santander bank through their match donation scheme. Projects to further the work and reach of the charity are reliant on external funding - the most significant of our Restricted Funds in the year includes funds awarded from Arts Council England through the mc7 Consortia (see page 5). These funds have been recognised in full in this current year but will be applied evenly over three years to 31 March 2026. Funds were also granted by The Wolfson Foundation

Wheal Martyn Trust Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wheal Martyn Trust Year ended 31 January 2024 Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement ofthe other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribad by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the trustees, report, (which includes the directors, report prepared for the purposes of company law> for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and the directors, report included within the trustees, report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Wheal Martyn Trust Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wheal Martyn Trust Year ended 31 January 2024 Responsibilities of the trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities set out on page 16, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting un less the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the Charity and the sector within which it operates to identify the key laws and regulations affecting it. As part of this the process, we reviewed the Charity's website for indication of any regulations and certification in place and discussed these with the relevant individuals responsible for compliance. The key regulations we identified were Charity legislation, health and safety regulations, food hygiene regulations, alcohol licence, and breaches of The General Data Protection Regulation {"GDPR"l. The Charity is also registered with the Fundraising Regulator. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct irnpact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and tax legislation. We discussed with management how the compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored and discussed the policies and procedures in place. We also identified the individuals who have responsibility for ensuring that the Charity Complies with relevant laws and regulations and deals with reporting any issues if they arise. As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non compliance with laws and regulations on the Company's ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following.. Enquiries of management regarding their knowledge of any non compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements, of which there were none. Reviewed filings with the Charity Commission and Companies House. Discussed with the health and safety officer whether any incidents have been reported during the year under The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 ("RIDDOR"). Review of the Company's GDPR policy and enquiries to the Data Protection Officer as to the occurrence and outcome of any reportable breaches. 19

Wheal Martyn Trust Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Wheal Martyn Trust Year ended 31 January 2024 Reviewed legal and professional costs lo identify any possible non-compliance or legal costs in respect of non-compliance. Reviewed food hygiene certification and premises licence. Reviewed Board minutes. We assessed the susceptibility ofthe financial statements to material misslatement through management override or fraud, including in relation lo cash income and expenditure. We considered the primary sources of cash income, being admissions income, catering income from the museum's cafe and income from the museums gift shop and obtained an understanding of the controls in place to mitigate the risk of cash fraud. We also discussed with management whether there had been any instances of known or alleged fraud, of which there were none. Based on our understanding we designed and conducted audit procedures including.. Assessing the design and implementation of controls over cash receipts and obtaining evidence as regards the completeness of cash income., Audited the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale for of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, of which there were none. Reviewed estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumplions used by management in making the estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. The risk increases the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements as we are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment. collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This descriplion forms part of our auditor's report. Use of our Report This report is made solely to the Charily's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.
