STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Quaker Tapestry Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, governed by its Articles of Association which were revised and approved by Companies House and the Charity Commission in May 2012.

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

Trustees are appointed by the Annual General Meeting each June on the nomination of a specially appointed Search Group. Trustees serve for up to three years which may be renewed once, and exceptionally for longer.

GENERAL BACKGROUND

The Quaker Tapestry began in 1981 in Somerset and over 4,000 people in 15 countries were involved in making the 77 wool embroidered panels which portray the insights and experiences of Quakers since the founding of the Quaker movement in 1652.

In 1992 the Quaker Tapestry at Kendal Appeal Fund was set up for the purpose of raising funds to provide for the housing and exhibition of the Quaker Tapestry. Monies from this appeal fund were used to finance initial set-up costs prior to incorporation. The Quaker Tapestry Exhibition was established in 1994 at Kendal Friends Meeting House and this continues to be its permanent base.

A separate charity, the Quaker Tapestry Collection Trust (Registration Number 295268) is the owner of the embroidered panels and other museum objects and artefacts. Quaker Tapestry Limited leases them, free of rent, so that they can be displayed for public benefit.

Kendal Friends Meeting House is leased from Friends Trusts Limited, acting as Landlords on behalf of Kendal & Sedbergh Area Meeting of The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

The Friends Meeting House is a Grade 2* Listed Building completed in 1816.

OBJECTIVES

a) to advance education for public benefit by displaying, maintaining and protecting embroidered hangings depicting Quakers, their worship and work in the world;

b) to advance the education of the public by teaching arts and crafts and in particular embroidery and allied skills.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

2020 has been an unusual year for Quaker Tapestry, to say the least! During the first two months of the year the staff continued their usual winter preparations expecting to re-open the museum at the beginning of March.

The closure of Kendal Meeting House by Government Covidrelated orders from late March until July and again in November, meant that the Museum was effectively only open from late August to end of October. Even when allowed, visitor activity in Kendal and the Lake District was much lower than usual. Some limited shop sales were possible when the museum was open, and staff managed to keep mail order going throughout the year. Clients hiring rooms cancelled bookings as Covid prevented their usual gatherings.

We have relied heavily on the Government furlough scheme to enable us to retain our small team of skilled staff. Until this scheme was made part-time, all staff were furloughed except our General Manager.

We are very grateful to Bridget, for coping single-handed, for part of the year, with publicity, mail-order, financial management, servicing committees and keeping in touch with staff, volunteers, trustees, members and local museum and business networks.

An anthology of poetry and prose inspired by the Quaker Tapestry was published early in 2020, arising from the 2019 series of creative writing workshops facilitated by Geraldine Green, our local writer in residence.

Three new embroidery kits went into production and were made available via our online shop. These proved to be perfectly timed for some customers’ mindful creativity at home during periods of lockdown.

A virtual tour of the museum, containing short films about the exhibits went on our website during the first lockdown.

Before reopening at the end of August the staff compiled Covid risk assessments and developed new procedures for preparing the museum for our visitors to return.

Acrylic screens were made to shield staff and visitors at reception and a large floor standing screen was erected to house our volunteer embroiderers - a ‘living’ exhibit to interact safely with our visitors!

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - continued

Thanks to Covid-19 Recovery funding, from ArtFund via Museums Development North West, we were able to repackage some museum activities. Easy to clean boxes and contents offer a selection of age-appropriate toys and dressing up outfits. Once played with by a family, the boxes and contents are easily quarantined and cleaned.

In October, a new online ticketing system went live to help visitors and staff while Covid restrictions are in place. This guarantees safe entry, assists with data collection for track and trace and ensures that the museum is not overcrowded.

Most courses were postponed, but one embroidery workshop did run in October, socially distanced and with a special screen for the tutor to work more closely and safely with students. A planned further round of creative writing workshops were all postponed.

The use of the flat through Airbnb, a new venture early in 2019, continued when permitted. Initially bookings had to be cancelled and fees refunded, but bookings were possible from July. During the second lockdown in November, a booking by a construction worker visiting Kendal for an extended period during the winter was allowed under Covid rules and was very helpful financially.

Our usual June Annual General Meeting was delayed and eventually held in October 2020 with over forty members attending by Zoom. Attendees were delighted by the illustrated presentations and positive news and business. With this success in mind, we are to invest in equipment to facilitate blended meetings. We hope this will encourage room hire clients to return safely using our community rooms for socially distanced meetings and training sessions in 2021. Meetings of our Trustees and committees will also benefit.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit published on 14 February 2014. The principal activity of the charitable company is the display and promotion of the Quaker Tapestry to the public. This fulfils the charitable objectives and achieves public benefit by use of the art and embroidery of the tapestry panels to make known the work and witness of Quakerism.

The trustees and staff regularly review ways of making the tapestries available to the widest audience. The level of entry fees to the exhibition have been set bearing in mind the ability of people to pay. The staff can reduce, or waive, fees for those who would otherwise be unable to benefit from the Quaker Tapestry.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As described above, all Quaker Tapestry activities were severely affected by Covidrelated restrictions in 2020. This situation continues as we compile this report in spring 2021, when re-opening of the museum is unlikely before mid-May.

Income earned from museum admission fees and associated Gift Aid, shop sales, workshops and room hire reduced dramatically during 2020. There was some compensation from increased mail order sales and from the Airbnb letting of the flat when possible.

Quaker Tapestry is in a difficult situation as over 65% of income is usually earned from activities. This is a welcome high percentage for a museum in normal times, but it means that we are more at risk when unable to be open. Quaker Tapestry also has no major ongoing revenue grant funding.

The staff retention furlough and the business support grants received through the local rating system have been very important. It has been agreed that the rates related grants will be used for forthcoming building major repairs.

The Revive, Survive & Thrive Appeal was launched in June to seek immediate support but also looking ahead to the likely continuing effects of Covid in future years. The appeal asked directly for core costs support, which previously has generally only been sought as part of special projects funding. We are very thankful for the many contributions, large and small, received to date from trusts, Quaker Meetings and individuals.

A claim for Business Interruption losses due to Covid under our insurance with Hiscox will be assessed in 2021, but it is difficult to predict how much, if anything, is likely to be received.

An appeal in February relating to the major re-roofing of the Meeting House was unfortunately immediately overshadowed by the pandemic, but nonetheless about £17,000 of earmarked funds were raised in 2020. The Appeal continues and it is hoped to undertake the work in autumn 2021.

An unexpected gift from the will of a Friend in Ireland has been invested in COIF units enabling reserves to be rebuilt and reducing cash-flow concerns.

The 2020 full year outturn income of £219,814 includes limited earned income, furlough support, donated income and grants towards core costs and special projects. Expenditure was £144,404. The surplus was thus £75,420 (2019: - £13,807) much of which is restricted or designated for specific purposes.

With Government support including staff furlough, swift action to launch the appeal in June 2020 and the fortuitous receipt of the legacy gift, Quaker Tapestry Ltd has come through the year in a much better position than seemed likely in March 2020.

Looking ahead, we hope by continued careful management of finances to maintain and develop Quaker Tapestry, despite the effects of Covid.

Organisations and trusts which supported Quaker Tapestry in 2020

We are grateful for the support of the following trusts and organisations:

MAJOR RISKS

The risks facing the charity are summarised in a risk register and subject to rigorous review.

The highest risk factors are financial and relate to our need to generate adequate income through income earning activities or from charitable sources, including raising funds for property maintenance. Inadequate funds to manage cash-flow and limited reserves are related risks. Maintaining adequate capacity of staff and volunteers to meet operational needs is also a risk, which has a bearing on the financial factors.

The pandemic has presented the most serious risk to core income that Quaker Tapestry has faced in its 26 years of operating from Kendal since 1994. To review and manage the situation, our Planning and Finance Committee met more frequently during 2020, nearly monthly by Zoom.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees annually re-assess the need for reserves after considering current risk factors and Charity Commission guidance.

Our policy is that unrestricted funds should be held to provide sufficient cash-flow to sustain the operation through seasonal and other fluctuations in earned income, grants and donations, to front-fund purchase of shop stock and production of publications, to cope with emergency maintenance, maintain a small building major repairs fund and to support a period of six months without income in the event of needing to close the exhibition.

Estimated core expenditure in 2021 is £160,000. Based on this and other factors above, an estimated minimum reserve of £125,000 has been calculated. At the beginning of 2020, unrestricted funds, not including tangible assets, of £92,500, were well below the policy minimum. At the end of 2020, the unrestricted funds held, not including tangible assets, were £160,000, of which about £122,000 is held in COIF investment units. This level of reserves, above the policy minimum, is considered entirely reasonable given donated income received during the year and the unpredictable current and future circumstances.

DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Directors and Trustees are required to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing the accounts, the Directors and Trustees are required to:

a) select suitable accounting policies, apply them consistently and state them in the accounts;

b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

c) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any

material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;

d) prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and to indicate where they are not prepared on that basis;

The Directors and Trustees are responsible for keeping proper books of account with respect to the company’s transactions and its assets and liabilities and for maintaining a satisfactory system of control over the company’s books of account and transactions. The Directors and Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

An element of unrestricted funds are held in the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund. The holding forms a basic reserve in line with Charity Commission guidance and the organisation's reserve policy (see Trustees' Report).

These units include part of the original core reserves established when the Charity became based in Kendal in 1994. It has been possible to add to these reserves in 2020.

11. STOCKS

Goods for Resale 11,965 18,906

Stocks include cost of goods for sale in the shop, via mail order and at external events. Perhaps unusually compared to other museums, Quaker Tapestry is also a publishing body, so stocks include the cost of high quality publications, such as the Stitch Guild, Pictorial Guide and greetings cards which are produced in quantities and sold over several years.

Quaker Tapestry also creates its own embroidery kits and other related products involving bespoke fabrics and yarns. Older stock is usually sold at reduced prices in the shop or online, rather than being written off. The reserves need to be adequate to front fund these publications and purchases.
