## **TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MAY 2024**_
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 May 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's memorandum and articles of assocoiation, 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)".
## **Objectives and activities**
The objects of the charitable company are to provide an educational centre for the general public (in particular students and school children) in the South East of England to promote the awareness of national aviation history. This is to be achieved by the establishment of a working aviation museum to restore, preserve, maintain and display historic and classic aircraft and associated memorabilia to the public and to provide a venue for lectures, seminars and practical workshops on aviation history and development.
## **Public benefit**
The Charity's Trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, they have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## **Achievements and performance**
This past year has been another excellent year for the Gatwick Aviation Museum, thanks to the tireless efforts of the Volunteers and Staff, without which the Museum could not function.
Visitor Numbers have been increasing year on year, allowing the museum to invest in new equipment and exhibits to further enhance the museum’s appeal to the public.
The museum has added a new aircraft to its collection of Cold War Jet Fighters with the acquisition of a Sepecat Jaguar, which is now fully assembled and enclosed in the main hangar.
In addition, we have now completed our Gatwick Room showcasing the history of Gatwick Airport and its association with the local area. We now have a Shackleton experience, with a dedicated room and rolling video explaining the historic role of the
Shackleton Marine reconnaissance aircraft we have on display.
Other additions include new simulator experiences with an RAF Typhoon ride experience, and soon to be completed Cockpit Flight Simulator.
The next 12 months are also promising to be equally exciting with more events and exhibits in the pipeline
## **Financial review**
During the year the charity has had net outgoing resources of £1,688 (2023 - Net outgoing resources: £2,785) as shown on the statement of financial activities on page 4 of the accounts.
Our reserves policy of 3 months of operating costs has proven to be sound and will continue.
## **Risk Management Policy**
The Trustees have established a practice of reviewing a risk management matrix at each and every quarterly Trustee meeting to ensure that all financial, reputations and safety related risks are monitored, reviewed and addressed.
Trustees are currently engaged in determining a revised five-year plan focusing on a capital investment programme, enhancement in conferencing and encouraging a training route into aviation generally. We continue to have the goal of becoming an Accredited Museum which involves us having to demonstrate a high standard of administration and curatorial practices. The value of accreditation, among other things, is that accredited museums are first in line to receive, free of charge, high value disposals from other museums.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF GATWICK AVIATION MUSEUM**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Gatwick Aviation Museum (the Charity) for the year ended 30 May 2024.
## **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.
