Re

F r The Year Ended 31st Marc
2025
The trustees who are also direclors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with
the financaal slalements of the charity for the year ended 31 st Marth 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practi￿ applicable lo charities preparing their
accounts in accordan￿ 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 Ihe benefrt of the townspeople of what was Ihe Borough of Wellingborough, and of Ihe
nation at large, whatever of historical, architectural and constructional heritage that may exist in and around the old
Borough of Wellingborough. The primary means of delivering ihis is by providing a museumlherilage centre in which to
display collections of artefacts.
The Trustees have decided that, in the current economic dimate we should be (2refvl of taking new iniliatnies. We have
a healthy bank balance and we do not seek tunding from Ihe local Council or anywhere else. Wellingboiough is now in a
unitary authority wilh Corby, Kettering arKJ East Northants C'North Northamptonshire"
NNC). There is also a
Wellingborough Town Council, which, like a parish council, has unpaid COUn￿lI0r$. It has Ihree salaried officers and has
taken over many of the town activities from the NNC - lo Wellingborough's advantage.
We depend on profits from our shop. café, and room letting. We are now in the same position
financially and for
visitors -as before Covid. We are fortunate in attracting very able volunteers some from belore we moved to Dulley's
Baths in 2007, and the friendly almosphere in the building is reflected u) our visitor reviews 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, atyl we try to maintain these as free admission, being aware of the
financial difFicullies of some families.
We must not forgel that our primary purpose is as a museum and we are wojfting on the renewal of our Museum
Accredilalion. The Museum collection is catalogued and photographed in the computer program Modes for Windows
and there is no backlog.
Publlc beneflt
Winifred Vvharton Trust has rnade reference to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidan￿ on Public
Benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and planning its future activities. In particular, Ihe tnjstees consider how
planned activities will conlfibute to the airns and objecbves they have sel for the organisation, thus ensuring public
benefft continues to be delivered.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
On TripAdvisor, we are the number 1 attraction in the Borough of Wellingborough.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Our shop trading company, Dulley's Baths Ltd. continues to donate all tls profits to Ihe Trusl. The Trustees were
concemed for the future of Wellingborough as a shopping town and this has proved to be the case - however we are
bucking the trend and must be the best loylsouvenir shop in the town. And there is free parking in the town.
Invesknent policy and objectives
Bank interest rates have improved but we are securing the fulure of Ihe museum by not taking any chances financially.
Reserves policy
The Iruslees believe they need to ensure the future of the charity by making sure that it has suffiaent reserves to meet
running costs. We are aware that the Charlty Commission does not like charities to hold large cash reseNes. but this
has proved prudent in view of the increases in the cost of energy.
FUTURE PLANS
Our future plan is lo 'keep going,. Our policy of running an ex￿lIent shop and letting out meeling rooms, rather than
seeking grants which can so easily be cut off has proved suc£essful in these dtfficult times and we see no reason lo
change.
