Total unrestricted incoming resources for the Trust reached £54,671 (2023: £551,897) this included a trading donation from PRCLT Company of Nil (2023: £215,787).

The Trust's general expenses continue to be closely monitored to ensure that sufficient funds will be available for general revenue expenses. 

## **Chairman's Statement** 

During the year the Trustees have devoted time to manage and resolve a range of legacy issues, some practical, some financial. This work will continue into 2025 and be completed in 2026. The Trust engaged a fulltime time curator in December 2024 and is now reviewing all the policies, aims, and aspirations, in preparation for formal Re Accreditation as an accredited museum at a date to be advised by the Museums Council.

During the year work has commenced in the design of an extension to the West Shed Library, and the new Terminus Park adjacent to The West Shed. These projects will only progress if grant aid is available.

b) Repaint the welltrol wagon c) Re arrange the main exhibits in the Museum d) Get the Wheeldrop operational e) Complete the bottom end work on 6233 frames 

f) Build engineers office inside West Shed

**Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

During the year the company was in receipt of relief in respect of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The income is recorded based on the claim periods made relating the financial year. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Buildings - 5% on cost Plant and machinery - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost 

## **Heritage assets** 

There is no depreciation charge on heritage assets because it has been estimated that the assets have a useful life of such length that any depreciation charge would be negligible and can be ignored on the basis of materiality. 

This is contrary to Generally Accepted Accounting principles. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the note 16.
