Introduction from the Chair

potential, reaching beyond 70,000 visitors
for the first time in its history, positioning
itself on the international stage.
IL began o period of strategic development after reaching pre-covid visitor
figures the year prior and the implementotion of a new business plan -
Remedies, Rights and Renewal- which is ot the heart of the Museum's
commitments as an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisotion.
Building on the investment made in Thackroy's redevelopment from 2019-21,
and its transformation from a locally-known hidden gem to a museum of
national ond international standing. From now until 2027 the Thackray will

April 2023 begon with a successful Easter Holiday period focussing on eye
sight. outperforming income ond footfall expectation5 and set a trend for the
remoinder of the year. Thi5 Positivity was underlined in May 2023 when the
Museum attended the European Museum of the Year awards in Barcelona -
it was the only UK museum to reach the final and came away as one of the
eleven award-winners with a special commendation. The judges praised the
Thackray forcreoting 'meaningful connections and promoting social inclusion,,
and being a 'tronsformative force for bringing together people of diverse
backgrounds. ond helped cementthe Museum's new found position.
The museum's summer exhibition - On the Bench - focussed on medicine
in sport and sport5 injury and we were delighted to workwith a diverse
community of co-curators, including former Leed5 Rhinos captain Stevie Ward,
ex-professional bosketball player and now local coach Norman Francis,
and player5 from the Leeds Roller Derby Club. With a family-focus and
multi-generational opportunities to engage, it proved extremely popular.
Summer holiday activities saw a pilot project featuring our in-house
'Thockray Boffins,, presenting semi-theatrical 45-minute shows oimed at
bullding medical capital in a fun, engaging way to all ages. Linked directly
to On the Bench, it focussed on what happens during a sports impact injury
and the physics of breoking bones. The summer season gove the museum
a substontial visitor boost, with 0 92% increase on the previous year.
The museum's annual Visit Englond Attractions QualityAssessment was
corried out in July. leading to it being a recipient of a coveted Gold Award,
something only given to around 20 organisations every year and of which
the Thackray's teams are rightly very proud.
As we moved towards Autumn, some significont grant opplicotions came
to successful fruition, The first from Foyle Foundation which supported the
museum with 0 £30,000 gront towards its learning progrommes, followed
in the New Year by the Notionol Lottery Heritage Fund who have o long

the Museum's redevelopment, and their belief in us was reaffirmed in Januory
2024 with a project grant of É228,901 to support the museum's ambition5
to develop its resilience and sustoinobility, bolstered with match-funding of
£12,500 from the Thackray Medical Research Trust.
Our relationship with the Uniiiersity of Leeds Medical School'has always
been close, and this continues to grow through ourjoint commitment to the
annual Monty Loswosky Memorial Lectures in Octoberwhich invites three
students to compete for a career-building award by glving a lecture on a
specialist topic. We remain grateful to One Medical Group and to Thackray
Medical Research Trust for supporting these inspired young professionals.
In the run-up to our Christmos season, December sawthe final event in our
Leeds 2023 partnership. Culture Club, come to an end. This brilliant programme
aimed at local 13- to 20-yeor-olds engoged them notjU5t in the museum ond
it5 collection, but in learning new creative skills and uncovering social and
political topics relevant to society today in newways.
In February, a new exhibition- Fragile Microbiomes- with Anna Dumitriu
launched bringing the fascinating worlds of art, history ond Science together
through multi-faceted works utilising several differenttypes of media including
sculpture, textiles, 3D-printing ond dyeing. receiving wide media coverage.
With layered storytelling throughout each work, the exhibition proved highly-
engaging for our audiences.
Throughoue the year, school bookings have been steady but have still to recover
to pre-covid levels - o familiar picture across the sector. As schools contin ue to
struggle with funding, trips are becoming increasingly inaccessible for some.
We continue to build our learning programme and also offer outreach
opportunities to best support the curriculum.
Our digital transformation hos also made considerable steps forwards,
including fully embracing flexible working by moving to cloud-based services,
improved security ond providing better IT resources for our staff, thanks in
F)Ort to o significont gift of equipment from Redcentric.
The museum's ambitions could not be achieved without the commitment
of its supporters - Arts Council Englond, Thockray Medical Research Trust,
Notional Lottery Heritoge Fund, Wellcome, Foyle Foundation, Thackray Friends
and Potrons ond of course our visitors - forwhich we remain particularly
grateful.
The trustees and I look forward to on exciting yeor ohead, as the museum
continues on itsjourney to becoming recognised as the UK'S leading medical
museum by 2030.

CARING FOR OUR COLLECTIONS
*r
The Thackray's collection of historic objects, books
and archives comprises the principal heritage osset of
the museum through which it can meet its charitable
objectives and mission. The museum's collection contains
over 50,000 objects, and some 28,000 written works
covering a wide range of medical specialities ond
healthcare themes.
The Collections Development Policy introduced o
programme of contemporary collecting in 2020, whereas
the focus had previously always been around collecting
historic material. This change is part of the museum's
brooder aim to include and represent a wide range
of contemporary communities and health practices.
Contemporary collecting priorities ore set annually and
often coincide with programme plonning,
The key collections strengths are in medicol supplies,
surgical equipment, disability equipment and aids, and
apothecary and pharmacy trades. Notable nationally and
internotionally significant collections include the archives
of the Charles F Thackray Medical Supplies Company and
a number of other medical organi5ations, as well as the
principal national collection of med ical trades catalogues,
prosthetics, audiology, surgical equipment and apothecary
tokens and jars. Items range in size from micro-implunts
to x-ray machines and, while the focus is on the United
Kingdom (particularly the North of England), medical
traditions represented in the collection range from early
roman medicine to medieval Arab apothecaries and
ontemporary Chinese acupuncture.
Collections ore managed within the Arts Council England
Stondords forAccredited Museums and the Museums
Association Code of Ethics for Museums (2015) covering
oll ospects of collection ocquisltion, dispos01, care,
conservation, documentotion and access. Acquisition ond
disposal of objects ore corefully controlled. Disposal of
individual items can only be done under strictly controlled
circumstances ond the use of ony monies generoted
through dispos01 is highly restricted.
In the opinion of the Board of Trustees, due to the historic
and unique nature of the collection land principal heritage
osset) concerned, conventional valuation approaches lack
sufficient reliability. Furthermore. disclosure of specific
voluations is deemed contrary to the Museum's purpose of
sofeguording the security of the collections ond promoting
their historic importonce. As o consequence, the volue
of herltage assets has not been included in the finonciol
stotements. Additions to the collection Idi5closed in note

financial value.
The Wilkinson Collection of17- to 18th-century apothecory
jars held by the museum 15 of particular note - recognised
as containing the single most important and extensive
collection of English delftware apothecoryjars in the world
ond complemented by a range of drug jars from Europe to

Exhibition and programmed activity continued to build
on the success of our first18 months since redevelopment.
Whereos that period wos about consolidation, this year
we increosed our ambition and quality, opening two major
exhibition5 Qnd launching our adult lates programme.
The exhibition programme begon in the summer with on
exhibition aimed at families - On the Bench. Curated in
partnerships with three Leeds sporting superstars,
On the Bench explored what happens when players 9et
injured and who helps them recover. This was followed in
February by Fragile Microbiomes, an exhibition of artworks
by internationally renowned bio-artist Anna Dumitriu.
19 artworks were on display, including three new pieces made
in collaboration with microbiologisL DrJane Freeman from
the University of Leed5.
The period Saw widely positive growth in the museum's
general admissions throughout the year, building on the
previous year's success of exceeding pre-covid visitor levels
and bucking the nationol trend. In particular, the potential
for increased engogement during school holidoy periods
was moximised with odditional programmed offers -
both bookable lot little cost), value-added and exhibition-
based activities.
There was also steady growth during term-time, both from
a slight increase of adult visitors on weekdays and greater
engagement from parents or corers with under-5s, and
good weekend ottendance throughout the year.
Growing our adult attending audience remains essential
to growth. with better opportunities and programming
for Group Bookings being a key development areo. The
Museum's Insight lecture Series saw consistent growth
during the period, as did exhibition attendance, and
diversifying our offer to include evening events is part of
current trajectory.
Outside the temporary exhibitions progromme. two
galleries were also updated. Murol artist Melody
Sutherland was commissioned to transform an unused
room off Disease Detectives into a space for under-5s.
Melody worked with two local nurseries, using their
understanding of whot germs looked like, to create a
mural and soft play furnishings. On the first floor, we olso
added o new disploy ond film obout disability and foshion.
These were created as port our work with the Curating
for Change project alongside a disabled poet. a model
and on onimotor.
Plans ore in place (detailed on poge 23) to put significont
efforts into researching both our ottending ond non-
attending oudiences, to help refine our offer whilst
remaining occessible and supportive of our community.

we hove seen consistent growth of regular cofé custom
independent of museum footfall, chiefly through stoff
and patients from the neighbouring hospital site. This
has allowed café income. in the main, to consistently
exceed weekly targets regardless of the footfall pattern of
museum visitors across the year. Café income during the
period wa5 £125,514 {2023: £81,254).
The team have now turned their ottention to the
development of our retail offef, Wlth o full review of the
scale and range of lines on offer, with the buying process
being far more closely tied to vlsitor trends. A small
restructure in the engogement teom has also seen a

merchandising trends and up-selling. At the end of the year
this was starting to have a positive effect on both
in-per50n and online shop soles. Retail income during
the period was £62,204 (2023: £57,060>.
As of 31 March 2024, café and shop stock was valued
at £18,517 (2023= £18,561).
2023/24 morked the first year since re-opening the
museum where our full conference focilities were available
for short term hire (following the contracted end of a
long-term hire of approximotely 50 /0 of our facilities
by the Leeds Teaching Hospitols Trust for Covid-reloted

ond inevitoble need to rebuild marketing and stoffing
resources alongside an exponded offer, we have seen
o predicted decrease in income from overall hires, with
income of £109,904 {2023: £246,249). However, this figure
is made up completely of short-term hires and cssocioted

largely hidden from mainstream view, which is something
the Museum wants to chonge.
The Thackray continues to actively engoge in wider

Audit response to risks identified
Use of our report
We considered the extent of compliance with these lows
and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the
related financiol statement items including a review of
financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the parent
charitable company'5 records of breaches of law5 and
regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence
with relevant authorities to identify potentiol materiol
misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charitable
company's policies and procedures for complionce with
laws and regulations with members of management
responsible for compliance.
This report is mode solely to the parent choritoble
company's members, as a body, in accordance with
Chopter 3 of Port 16 of the Componies Act 2006. Our audit
work hos been undertoken so thot we might state to the
parent charitable company's members.those motters we
ore required to state to them in on ouditor's report and
for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by
low, we do not occept or ossume responsibility to onyone
other thon the porent choritoble compony ond the parent
choritable company's members os a body, for our audit
work, for this report, or forthe opinions we have formed.
During the planning meeting with the audit team, the
engagement partner drew attention to the key areas
which might involve non-compliance with laws and
regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether
they were aware of any instance5 Of non-compliance
with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actuol,
suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud
through management override of controls by testing the
appropriateness ofjournal entries and identifying ony
significant transactions thot were unusual or outside
the normal course of business. We assessed whether
judgements made in making accounting estimotes gave
rise to a possible indicotion of management bias. At the
completion stage of the oudi( the engagement partner's
review included ensuring thot the team had approached
their work with oppropriote professional scepticism and
thus the capocity to identify non-compliance with lows
