## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## _**Accommodation**_ 

LAMK is still located in two separate rooms at MK Museum: the Training Centre for volunteers and adult learners; and an office for administration and research.  We have  a three-year agreement with MK Museum to use its store. Despite a continuing issue with storage, LAMK has maintained its full work output. 

_Discover Milton Keynes_ has continued in MK Central Library. 

LAMK has continued to benefit from the goodwill and support of MK Museum colleagues, staff and volunteers and LAMK continues to look forward to creating mutually beneficial projects to serve the people of Milton Keynes . 

## _**Staff**_ 

- _Melanie Jeavons_ continued as General Manager. 

- _Rachel Chapman_ continued as Administrator 

- _Herbert Booth_ continued as Archive and Volunteer Officer 

Other members of staff were appointed as project officers funded by the grant providers of a specified project. 

## _**Projects**_ 

This year has been overshadowed by the Covid 19 pandemic.  In spite of that LAMK has carried out a number of successful projects. 

- _Heritage Open Days:_ Now in its eighth year under LAMK management, this borough-wide project followed last year’s highly successful operation with a festival in September 2020.  In spite of Covid 19 restrictions there were more than 3500 visitors 96 events. 

- _Lockdown Lives:_ More than 80 remote video interviews were conducted with a wide variety of people throughout Milton Keynes recounting their lockdown experiences.  Some of the material was used in a collaborative project with MK Arts Centre called _Ephemeral Lives._ Extracts from some interviews were edited into a 30 minute film which formed part of an exhibition at the MK Gallery's Project Space. 

- _Sir Henry-Aubrey-Fletcher tribute:_ to mark the retirement of the Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, LAMK was commissioned to produce a book and film. 

- _VE Day project:_ Terri Howey of Act Out was employed to work with young people on this HLF funded project using LAMK's 2nd World War archive to create a performance and songs to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day.  Covid 19 restrictions hampered the progress of this project and original plans for a performance were changed to the production of a film which will be premiered in late 2021. 

- _Saxon Court memories:_ LAMK was commissioned by the developers of the Saxon Court project to produce a short film of people's memories of working in and visiting Saxon Court. 

- _Homeworld '81 anniversary:_ LAMK was commissioned to produce a 45 minute film to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the ground-breaking housing exhibition.  Interviews were carried out with some of the key people involved in planning and creating the exhibition.  It was premiered online in May 2021. 

- _Open University collaboration_ to collect stories of the census. 

- _MK Trails App:_ Three more trails was added to this LAMK app. 

- _Website development:_ This continued with Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo and You-Tube enhanced with volunteer contributions. 

- _Sales:_ A steady flow of sales both online and at events have supplied some profit. 

- _LAMK Volunteers_ - who include the members of the Board, continued to work to deliver what is the essence of our work - 'Everybody has a story to tell' - so that we can support community cohesion in neighbourhoods across the Borough of Milton Keynes and protect a more precious commodity - its heritage and pride of place. 

- Normally the busiest days at MK Museum site are Tuesdays and Thursdays, when volunteers scan images, research for current projects and transcribe oral history and interviews.  Covid 19 restrictions obviously meant that these sessions could not take place, but volunteers have been very active from home, especially in the transcription of oral history interviews and in cataloguing and expanding the online digital archive.

The results for the year are set out on page 7. 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure.

This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

The trustees, who are also the directors of The Living Archive Project for the purpose of company law,  are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LIVING ARCHIVE PROJECT** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Living Archive Project (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination,  I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- 4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **THE LIVING ARCHIVE PROJECT** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

The Living Archive Project is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Milton Keynes Museum, McConnell Drive, Wolverton, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK12 5EL. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document],  the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity.  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees  continue  to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to expenditure.  All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised in the period to which it relates.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Plant and equipment 

25% reducing balance 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.9 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.10 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **1.11 Leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases,  including any lease incentives received, are charged  as an expense  on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
