-
a Councillor nominated by the London Borough of Harrow
-
a current Councillor of the London Borough of Harrow
Director Induction and Training
There are three formal directors’ meetings each year with a number of ad hoc meetings where necessary to review and progress matters. In principle the directors learn on
2
the job with formal training as required. All newly appointed trustees are encouraged to attend external trustee & governance training courses. Those directors who are members of the Management Board meet (in person or via Zoom) monthly and informally more frequently.
Risk Management
The directors have implemented a risk management strategy which comprises: -
reviewing the operations of the trust
the establishment of procedures to mitigate any risks identified:
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the charity should any of those risks materialise
financial transactions require at least one director’s signature and that of one other officer for all payments: and
employees have limited delegation to commit funds on behalf of the Trust.
Organisational Structure
The company currently has 11 directors, 2 volunteer managers, one full time plus five part-time employees. The directors reach strategic decisions amongst themselves which are then implemented. All major decisions are recorded. Operational decisions are taken at monthly Management Board Meetings and recorded.
Related Parties
The board of directors currently includes a councillor nominated by the London Borough of Harrow (the Trust’s
3
landlord) and one other councillor. Geraldine Beare and Peter Higginson are trustees of The William Heath Robinson Trust.
Objectives
The Charity’s primary objective is to preserve West House, West End Lane, Pinner in the following ways; - as a community and learning facility
to create and maintain a shrine within West House as a war memorial and to house the Pinner Books of Remembrance
to operate a Museum as a permanent home for the William Heath Robinson Trust’s Collection of illustrations and other artefacts.
3. Achievements and Performance
Visitors to the museum at 4537 were 36% above the previous year, still below pre-Covid levels. Shop sales of £31512 were 14% higher than a year earlier. Operation of the Verden Gallery (now re-named Verden Event Rooms) generated £10800 (46% higher) while learning activities including school visits, while sharing the same facilities, grew by 7% to £29632.
Volunteer curator, Geoffrey Beare, supported by Assistant Curator, Hannah Whyte, presented the following exhibitions in 2024:
Apr-Jun Modernist Magazine Illustration Jun-Sep Michael Rosen – The Illustrators Sep-Jan Sidney Sime – Master of Fantasy
Our new curator, Christopher Westbrook joined us in April 2024 and has produced a number of stimulating and innovative exhibitions including “Remixology” at the
4
beginning of 2025 with local artist Ketna Patel followed by “Inkling” with Ralph Steadman in Feb/March.
With the support of a Learning Assistant, our Learning Officer for Children & Young People has achieved a significant increase in the number of classes and other events held. 191 were on-site and 40 off-site and involved over 6500 children and adults.
The Museum Operations Assistant has extended her responsibilities to include that of registrar. All staff posts are now funded entirely from the Trust’s own resources. A part-time Finance Manager has been employed throughout the year.
West House & the museum continue to provide a focal point in Pinner Memorial Park. The café, Daisy’s in the Park, continues its popularity with an enlarged kitchen and glass conservatory. West House Dental continues to thrive with successful new services. These tenancies provide an income stream to support the objectives of the Trust. Daisy’s in the Park continues to operate the Quiet Room as part of the café. The Shrine and Books of Remembrance are retained within a semi-enclosed glass screened area allowing continued access by the public.
A Remembrance Day service was held on 11/11/24. The Friends of Heath Robinson Museum, initially established to offer special access to exhibitions and other Museum events to those who had made significant donations, continues to thrive with over 200 members providing social events and valuable support to the Trust.
Although the Heath Robinson Museum was opened in October 2016, practical completion of the building was achieved in September 2017. This is the major part of the Heritage Lottery Funded project which was completed in December 2018.
4. Financial Review
Total income for the year was £235,006 - almost the same as 2023/4.
5
A £19K decline in legacies and grants offset by £19K more interest, dividend and retail sales.
Charitable activities revenue was almost the same as 2023/4 at £49429 driven by strong Learning activity and increased museum visitor numbers. Offsetting these were lack of loan fees and royalties (£6K).
Expenditure totalled £340,529 (27% more than the prior year) which included £167,754 on staff costs (+23%) and £45,100 on Marketing Services. Facilities costs were 28% higher at £62,928 due to the refurbishment of the public toilets in West House. Exhibition costs were reduced from £14,040 to £1591.
The result of the above, including an unrealised loss on investment of £1500 is an excess of expenditure over income for the year of £107,022.
Investment Policy
We continue to hold 6000 donated shares in James Latham plc.
Reserves Policy
To maintain sufficient reserves to cover known future liabilities. In addition: six months running costs of approx. £125,000.
5. Plans for Future Periods
Visitor numbers are still below pre-Covid levels at approx. 4500 p.a. compared with 6000 p.a. and we are making financial losses on a monthly basis in 2024/5. This has caused us to review our strategy in all areas of West House and museum operations. We intend to engage fund raising consultants to assist with applications to grant giving bodies. This work will only show results in 2025/26 or later.
6
We intend to take advantage of any government support that may be available in terms of Business Rate relief and support towards energy costs. Energy costs are particularly significant for the museum (£1000 per month) as the galleries have to be maintained at a constant temperature and humidity at all times.
The exhibitions planned for 2025 are: May-Jul Ways of Seeing Jul-Oct Contraptions & Connections Nov-Feb 26 Sublime Space Mar-Jun Life in a Line
The operation of the Heath Robinson Museum continues as our major priority along with our programme of educational activities for children, young people and adults.
We will make applications to appropriate grant giving bodies and use some of our reserves to strengthen our curatorial and learning capabilities. The aim being to increase the capacity of our staff and volunteers to better manage the heritage of which we are guardians in the long term.
6. Responsibilities of the Board of Directors
The directors are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the company at the date of the balance sheet and of its incoming resources and application of resources including income and expenditure for the financial year. In preparing the financial statements the directors will ensure that they: -
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
7
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis. The directors have reviewed the financial and operational situation of the Trust and have concluded that it continues to be a going concern and is unlikely to become insolvent within the next twelve months.
Up to 31.3.23 the Trust expended £1,733,534 on the construction of the Heath Robinson Museum. The Trust has a 125 year lease on the land on which the museum stands. The freeholder of the land is the London Borough of Harrow. Should the Trust be unable to meet its commitments, including the purpose for which the building is used under the lease, it reverts to the freeholder and the National Heritage Lottery Fund automatically and therefore has no commercial value to the Trust. As a result of these constraints the Trustees have decided not to show the museum building as a fixed asset on the Balance Sheet as at 31.3.25. This decision has the concurrence of our Independent Examiner.
The directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. Management Accounts are produced monthly and reviewed at the Management Board meeting and at Trustees Meetings. The directors 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.
The directors who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 2 of this report.
Operational decision making has increasingly been delegated to the Management Board which was created as a result of the Governance Review concluded in December
8
- The Management Board reviews all policies and procedures on a rolling basis resulting in a review of each of them within two years.
7. Independent Examiner
Under the Charities Act 2006 the directors have appointed Pytronot as Independent Examiners who have carried out an Independent Examination of the company’s books.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting under the Charities Act and also taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of Section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
Approved on 18 January 2026 on behalf of the directors by

| Recognition of income 2.2 INCOME Donated goods In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Donated services and facilities Contractual income and performance related grants There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; • it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). Government grants Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Legacies Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Income from interest, The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Offsetting Grants and donations Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can |

| Grants with performance conditions 2.4 ASSETS The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Investments Investment gains and losses Settlement of insurance claims Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Note 29 Additional Disclosures
The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.
The Trust has a 125 year lease on the land on which the West House and Heath Robinson Museum buildings stand. The freeholder of the land is the London Borough of Harrow. Should the Trust be unable to meet its commitments, including the purposes for which the buildings are used under the lease, it reverts to the freeholder and the National Heritage Lottery Fund automatically and therefore the buildings would have no commercial value to the Trust. As a result of these constraints the Trustees have decided not to show the buildings as an asset on the Balance Sheet and all costs of the build have been treated as cost.
