the financial stalemenls of the charity for the year ended 31 st March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of
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
Objectives and aims
Its objectives are lo preserve for the benefit ol the townspeople of what was Ihe Borough of Wellingborough, and of the
nation al large, whatever of historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in and around the old
Borough of Wellingborough. The primary means of delivering this is by providing a museurnlheritage centre in which lo
display collections of artefacts.
The Trustees have decided that, in the Current economic climate we should be careful of taking new inilialives. We have
healthy bank balance and we do not seek funding from the local Council or anywhere else. Wellingborough is now in a
unitary authority with Corby, Kettering and E8St Northanls ("North Northamptonshire"
NNCI. There is also a
'Wellingborough Town Council, which, like a parish council. has unpaid councillors. It has Ihree salaried officers and has
taken over many of the town activities from the NNL - to Wellingborough's advantage.
We depend on profits from our shop, cafè. and room letting. We are now in the samè position financially and for
visitors -as before Covid. We are fortunate in allracling very able volunteers - some from before we moved lo Dulley's
Baths In 2007, and the friendly atmosphere in the building is reflected in our visitor revlews on TripAdvisor.
We Issue a monthly newsletter which we email out, now to over 1800 customers. This advertises the many activities we
hold in the museum, mainly in the school holidays, and we try to maintain these as free admission, being aware of the
financial difficulties of some families.
We musl not forget that our primary purpose is as a museum and we are working on the renewal of our Museum
Accreditation. The Museum collection is calalogued and photographed in the computer program Modes for Windows
and theie is no backlog.
Public benefit
Winifred Wharton Trust has made reference to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public
Benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and planning its future aclivilies. In particular, Ihe Iruslees consider how
planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set for the organisation, thus ensuring public
benefit conlinues lo be delivered.
ACtrtIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
On TripAdvisor,.we are the number 1 attraction in the Borough of Wellingborough.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Flnancial position
Our shop trading company. Dulley's Baths Ltd. contlnues to donate all its profits to the Trust. The Trustees were
concerned for the future of Wellingborough a5 a shopping town and this has proved to be the case - however we are
bucking Ihe trend and must be the best toylsouvenir shop in the town. And there is free parking in the town.
Inve8tment pollcy and objectlves
8ank interest rates have improved but we are securing the future of the museum by not taking any chances financially.
Reserves policy
The trustees believe they need to ensure the future of the charity by making sure that it has sufficient reserves to meet
running costs. We are aware that the Charity Commission does not like charities to hold large cash reseprfes, but this
has proved prudent in view of the increases in the cost of energy.
FUTURE PLANS
Our future plan is to 'keep going,. Our policy of rur)ning an excellent shop and letting out meeting rooms, rather than
seeking grants which can so easily be cut off has proved successful in these difficult limes and we see no reason to
change.
