**BEXHILL MUSEUM** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. 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** 

The stated objectives of the charity are to provide a museum in order to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public for their benefit, particularly by the presentation of exhibitions, lectures and other means of study relating to the display of local history, archaeology, history of costume, technology and engineering, the arts, ethnography, geology and social history. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have confirmed that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in their opinion the foregoing report on the achievements and performance demonstrates that they have complied therewith.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

The first steps were taken to 'bring home' Bexhill's original Merryweather firefighters' pump (1895) and place it on display in the Museum. The crews at Bexhill Community Fire Station are very supportive, and keen to start a campaign to fundraise for its restoration in 2022-23. 

The Museum partnered with the educational services charity Sussex Music, local artist Vicky Craggs and the De la Warr Pavilion to run Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) projects for schoolchildren eligible for free school meals. The government sponsored scheme was the inspiration of footballer Marcus Rashford, and now operates across the country to support children from low-income families or with special needs. 

Our patron Eddie Izzard's latest film Six Minutes to Midnight was released on 29 March 2021, marked by a flurry of public and media interest in the Museum, Eddie's popular model railways and our display of costumes from the film, designed by Lucinda Wright, loaned by the costumiers Angels, with production photos by Amanda Searle. Much of the interest focused on the history of the town's notorious finishing school for daughters of the Nazi elite, the Augusta Victoria College in Dorset Road, and Eddie's remarkable video interview with the late Mollie Hickie, who worked at the college as an au pair before the it closed on the outbreak of WWII. 

A second special exhibition showcased the collections' national and folk costumes from around the world. Called Common Threads, it looked at shared materials and techniques in clothing design between different cultures. Temporary exhibitions such as these will become more frequent at the Museum in coming years in response to the Trustees' support for a policy of Dynamic Collections. This will create more opportunities to bring rare artefacts out of the stores to be displayed in ways that encourage visitors to make new connections between aspects of the collection and the district's history. 

Artist Colin Heminway's Insight to Culture project restarted after being suspended due to COVID restrictions in 2020. InSight to Culture is an Arts Council England funded project, engaging members of the local community who are living with impaired vision. An interactive display for the Sargent Gallery was designed and installed by Colin with the needs of the visually impaired and blind held foremost. The project will continue for a period after the end of its funding with the support of volunteer Angela Hart, and a kind donation by Bexhill charity group Homecall, a home visiting scheme for the visually impaired. 

A report by Judi Wilkinson of the Design & Access group considered ten areas for action to improve access for disabled people to the Museum. The most substantive list of options involved support for visitors with sight and or hearing loss. There were also recommendations relating to evacuation of disabled people in an emergency. The report added a specific recommendation to the County Council, asking that it add disabled parking bays, a safe stop and drop off no-waiting bay outside the Museum, and add no parking lines by the drop kerb leading to the Museum wheelchair access ramp. 

The Education Team, led by Anne Lucarotti and Lesley Wilde, supported by Anne Stacey, have had an excellent year. Adapting quickly to the changes required by Covid, more loan boxes were created, and a system of safe quarantining put in place. As restrictions were lifted, schools could gradually start returning to formal in-person visits and continued loan box hires. In the year under review 747 children visited the Museum in person in 27 separate visits, and another 1,123 children made use of our boxes in their classes in 21 loans. The programme aims to expand in 2022-23, as we extend our outreach to schools further away, working with Hastings Museum as part of the Arts Council funded Museums & Schools development scheme. 

At the very end of the financial year, Bexhill Museum took in an extensive collection of historical artefacts and high-quality replicas from the former Sussex Libraries & Museum Service (SLAMS). Nearly all were carefully boxed, designed for safe transport out on loan to local schools. The 200+ items range from dolls and models to actual Greek and Roman jewellery and kitchenware. The items will allow a substantial expansion in our loan box and general education programming. 

## **Membership** 

Membership levels remain steady despite a falloff in renewals during the Covid lockdown months. Since a degree of normality has returned, the numbers of new and renewed memberships have begun to climb with 96 new members signing up during 2021-22. There were 320 members in total at time of writing.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

The Management Team apologises for missed or delayed deliveries of the Members' Newsletter since the end of lockdown. Again, at time of writing, the next edition, number 131, is due to be published in August, and the issue after that, in November. 

## **Trustees** 

Due to expanding family and work commitments, Leah Fusco has asked to step down as a trustee. Two new trustees were chosen by the board for formal nomination and endorsement by the membership in October 2022. Dan Scales, a fundraiser at the De La Warr Pavilion since 2018, experienced in arts, heritage, community, and medical third sector organisations, and Professor Martin Bell, former Professor of Archaeological Science at Reading University and president of the Sussex Archaeological Society. 

Dan told trustees that he was interested in discussing fundraising options for the Museum and helping to make better use of survey market data and other performance metrics. Martin said he looked forward to supporting the Museum's future work with the Hastings-Bexhill bypass finds, which may provide unique evidence of the effect of climate change on the local area during the Mesolithic period - a long time subject interest of his. 

Possible additional trustees were being identified, including one with educational services expertise. Based on the findings of a Trustees 'Skills Audit' carried out by Natalie Tilbury, other trustees may be sought covering gaps in the capacity of the trustees to address financial and building management; environmental sustainability; business planning and HR policy management. 

Vice-Chair Anne Stacey was honoured among 15 others by Rother Voluntary Action for her volunteer work at the Museum. The RVA said the award had been given not only for her many years of service, but also for her efforts to expand the Museum's services to a broader section of the Bexhill and Rother visitor base to include children, the disabled, special needs groups, and the elderly. Anne said that she had accepted the award on behalf of all the Museum's volunteers. 

## **Volunteers** 

Bexhill Museum is volunteer-run and is completely dependent on their active contributions to keep us open and running smoothly. Volunteer Coordinator Gordon Smith runs the daily teams, with Angela Johnson and Beryl Feakins stepping in where necessary. There is healthy competition between the daily teams, with a weekly update on daily visitor figures and a challenge to see which team has the visitor from the 'furthest-flung' home base. The current record holders count a visitor from Christchurch New Zealand, 11,805 miles from Bexhill. 

The Museum shop team of Beryl Feakins, Terri Pierce and Chris Waterfield worked hard to source interesting items and to enable the shop, once again, to perform well above targets set by sector experts for a museum of our size and type. Front of House regulars Karen Smith and Peter Booth remain stalwarts on the door, maintenance volunteer Brian Perry soldiers on, Julian Porter, Mari Edwards, Karen Smith maintain our popular social media presence and Jenny Snape keeps an eye on membership matters. There is also a strong team supporting the curator in documenting and caring for the collection led by Mary Bywater, Stella Hales-Morris, Mary Hart, Stuart Pemberton, Peter Rawles and others, including Cathy Pemberton, our natural history expert. 

Maureen Newport has stepped back from the running of the St Augustine's Church Hall talks - to be succeeded by Jan Burton, who has programmed a new series of talks to begin (at time of writing) on 5 October 2022. Maureen has however taken over documentation in the costumes collection from Pam Malpass, who is moving to Scotland. 

Maureen's late husband John Newport, who did so much to digitise the Museum's paper archives, wrote a book about the histories of soldiers of both World Wars, commemorated by war memorials in Hooe. It was published after his death and can be bought in the Museum shop. The Bexhill Museum Local History Study Group also published a book, editing and design led by Paul Wright and Alexis Markwick. On This Day in Bexhill-on-Sea is a calendar of local history events, packed with fascinating titbits of information. It too is also available in the Museum shop. 

Led by trustee Peggy Goodberry, the fundraising & events volunteer teams began to return to action post Covid. Events included talks online and at St Augustine's, and the return of the popular monthly coffee mornings. Together these raised £2,144 after expenses for the Museum, including £644 raised by the November 2021 Curry Night at the Shiplu Restaurant, supported by fellow trustee Sally Hemmings.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

Our much-valued District Curator, Julian Porter, has contributed another year of dedication, knowledge, and never-ending enthusiasm, and will, we are sure, be certain to continue to do so as a full and active contributor to the Management Team's week-by-week operations. 

Finally, we acknowledge the informed and generous contributions of chair Natalie Tilbury and vice-Chair Anne Stacey; their fellow trustees; Stella Hales-Morris and Gordon Smith in their roles as Management Team members; and business support officer and Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Rohan Jayasekera. 

We also mourn the loss of two long-time supporters of the Museum. Pauline Bullock, chair of the Museum of Costume and Social History at Manor Barn in the Old Town in the run up to its merger with Bexhill Museum, who passed away this year, and Hazel Pratt, a former volunteer at Bexhill Museum. Hazel also left a generous legacy gift in her will for the Museum's work.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

We are pleased to report that the Museum has come out of the Covid-19 years relatively unscathed in financial terms. 

The total funds carried forward - the broad 'value' of the charity at the end of the year - has fallen slightly on last year overall, from £222k to £218.5k. But as a business, the Museum has bounced back, with income from admissions, shop, and café in 2021-22 totalling £42 647 - compared to the previous year's Covid afflicted total of a little over £11k. Our figures for 2021-22 were better than predicted - our target figure for the year was £35,600, per our Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Rother District Council, and we surpassed that target by just over £7k. 

As reported last year the Museum recorded a cash surplus of nearly £15,000 at the end of 2020-21, thanks to special donations, so we have dipped into that to cover an extra £3,550 worth of spending over income this year. As a result, all the internal investment planned for 2021-22 has been completed - surveys, shop fittings, new display cases, etc. From now on any new capital expenditure will be drawn from restricted income from grants. Project funding - such as that granted to the Insight to Culture project - was down by half this year, to £13.5k, but we hope to improve on this. 

However, a look at the underlying data comparing 2021-22 to 2019-20 - essentially before and after Covid - shows that we have a way to go before we are properly out of the lockdown experience. Before Covid the Museum was comfortably over-performing on our visitor and audience targets - Museum visitors including schools, and outreach events. Reopening on May 18 after Covid, we have struggled to meet audience target figures set by our service agreement with Rother District Council. We had set a target of 15,220 visitors for 2021-22, but by the year's end had fallen short of that by 3,789. 

In general, comparing per and post Covid performance, audiences have not yet returned to normal numbers. Only school visits and Tourist Information Point users have returned to pre-Covid levels. Pretty much all categories of visitors are a third down on pre-Covid figures, and some groups - the disabled and member visitors - are down by more than half. Thanks to the shop's continued success, the Museum's business income has increased by 8.4% comparing pre- and post-Covid numbers, as noted earlier. But visitor numbers are essential guides to long-term planning. We can raise all kinds of funds for projects and capital works, but the day-to-day costs of running the Museum must come from business income. 

It will cost around £75k to run the Museum day-to-day during 2022-23 - self-funding schools activities and one-off projects aside. Apart from the £8.5k currently granted annually by Rother, this amount must be raised from admissions, shop sales and our fundraising volunteers. We can do this, but we will need more unrestricted income to secure stability and sustainability, and if doesn't come from audiences, it will have to come from new sources of public and private funding. This will come with conditions on how the Museum is operated, specifically that we work to attract a wider and more diverse audience base, and that we address some of the professional museum sector's new methodologies of collection care and management, and its concern that artefacts be better understood and comprehensively contextualised. 

The Museum presses on with plans to add an extra education room with a park facing entrance. This will facilitate outdoor park events for children, improve the neglected open space between the boating pond and the Museum, and increase options for partnerships with other organisations, including those working with special needs groups. Parallel works on the rest of the ground floor will tackle the temperature, insect and humidity issues in the basement Museum stores and make them accessible. We plan to draw on second rounds of Arts Council and government DCMS funding, and possibly parts of future S.106 funding earmarked for Bexhill Museum from the Barnhorn Road, Worsham Farm & Pebsham developments, or funds allocated from the County Council's archaeological studies budget attached to the Hastings-Bexhill bypass works. Plans for works to better insulate the Sargent Gallery and replace the Museum's gas boilers with heat source pumps after 2023 are also in hand.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **Expenditure** 

There were two major capital purchases during 2021-22. The first was the purchase of two wall mounted dehumidifiers for the Costume and Sargent stores, the costs of which were covered by a one-off grant from the Pilgrim Trust, with the support of the Association of Independent Museums. The second was the installation of a long-planned secure glass display cabinet made to measure to fit the corridor space between the Sargent and Costume Galleries. The Museum also invested in detailed surveys to support our plans to repair the basement stores. These surveys will in time to come, enable steps towards extending the Museum - a long held ambition of the district curator - and give it a park-facing public entrance and activities space - a proposal inspired by our patron Eddie Izzard. 

## **Reserves policy** 

At the end of March 2021, the General Unrestricted Fund, which represents the funds available for the day-to-day operation of the Museum had been nearly doubled, to £45,496. This left the Museum in a good place to handle the unknowns of the post-COVID months to come and the expected ancillary costs of preparing renovation work on the lower ground floor stores. However, these costs proved more manageable than feared. At end March 2022, the General Unrestricted Fund had been reduced to £39,243, a moderate fall under the circumstances - and well above the March 2020 figure of just £22,239. Of that £39,243, the rough equivalent of three months' turnover or £23,400 is put aside in a deposit account, to be held 'in the event of an emergency'. The term 'emergency' is simply defined as the enforced closure of the Museum, when the collection would have to be relocated, offered to other museums, or ethically disposed of, and any liabilities such as legal fees or redundancies covered. 

The probability of such a scenario is extremely remote. Arguably, holding this level of cash reserves unnecessarily ties up funds that might be more constructively applied to the Museum's charitable & education works. The addition of several saleable high value replicas and collectibles to the education collection has added to the overall reserves' base value, meaning that the amount of reserves held in actual cash could be reduced, and the balance added to general investments in the Museum. One of the early objectives of the newly founded Trustees' Finance & Development Sub-Committee will be to redraft our reserves policy to take these changes into account, for approval by the trustees. An up-to-date reserves policy is also a requirement of the Museum's accreditation review, due in 2022. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The Company's governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 9 October 2003 and amended by written resolution dated 10 February 2004 and special resolutions dated 3 October 2012 and 20 October 2021.Copies of these documents are available by request. The company is limited by guarantee. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The power of appointing new or additional Trustees is vested in the Trustees. Prior to appointment, new Trustees would be introduced to the workings of the charity, given a role description and advised of their responsibilities. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Management Team is appointed by the Trustees and meet weekly to review activities and manage the museum on a day-to-day basis. The group is made up of the volunteer coordinator, Gordon Smith, the Business Support Officer, Rohan Jayasekera, a representative of the Collections Care team, Stella Hales-Morris, and the Curator Julian Porter. 

There is currently only one formal staff employee of the Museum, housekeeper Toni Neville, employed part-time for housekeeping duties. Rother District Curator Julian Porter MA is seconded by Rother District Council as Curator to Bexhill Museum. Rohan Jayasekera MSc MA is contracted by the Museum month-by-month on a part-time freelance basis as Business Support Officer. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have reviewed and identified the risks to which the charity is exposed and have ensured that appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees have updated the existing Child Protection Policy to take account of changes in practice regarding the Safeguarding of vulnerable adults.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bexhill Museum ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2022.

## **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:

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **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. 

## **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. 

|Display cases and shelving|- 5% on cost|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|- 5% on cost|
|Interactive displays|- 20% on cost|
|Computer equipment|- 33% on cost|



## **Heritage assets** 

Acquisitions for the collection since 1st April 2010, whether donated or purchased, are capitalised and recognised in the balance sheet at the cost or value of the acquisition, where such cost or valuation is reasonably obtainable and reliable. Items donated or bequeathed to the Museum's collection are valued by internal valuers if an external valuation for the items is not available. Such items are not depreciated or revalued. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

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

## **Fund accounting**
