REVIEW OF CHARABLE ACTIVITIE8 UNDERTAKEN Tho American Museum and Gardens is an educational in81itution that serves the regional communlly of the UK and a small rnumr of vi51tors from the EU, Its focus is on the edu(*tion of the British public about the culture and decoratlve arts of the Unlled Slates. As such, all of Its activities in some Way support Ihls mission - whether it is the improv8m&nl of th& physlcal plant, Increased educallonal programmlng, or b8tl8r exhiblllons. The following list reflects 80mo of the acllvllles of the Musgum durlng 2024. Major activities In 2024: The Museum held two t8mporary exhlbllions. Ihe first featuring "The American Road trip" and the second focused on "Animals b8havlng badly" and was designed to allract the younger families to the Museum. The Museum held a number of holiday evenl8 includlng Easter, Juty and Halloween in October, whlch wer8 Vèry well attended. The footfall of the Museum achleved Just und8r 62,000. Th18 was 14Yo lower than our highest footfall in 2023 of 72,000. This reflected the wlder industry 8xperl&nc8 In 2024, as a sUIt of the cosl-of-llvlng crtsls. Th8 Musaum has undertaken soine large capital projects, Includin9 the rebuilding of the retainlng wall, which leads up lo Ihg Coach housg, th6 start of th8 Susan Gulllla Cultural Centre in the Coach house and the woodland walk sponsored by B8tty Suchar.

In pursuit of It8 mlsslon, Iha Museum supports tho local community, provldes work experlence, learning opporlunilies arKI engages almost 200 volunteers. FINANCIAL REVIEW Res8rv8s policy. The charity has unrestricted reserves of approximately £4.08 milllon. predominantly in the form of investments. The investments generate income Ihat helps to compensate for the operalional doficit of Ihe Musèum. It is th& Truste9s' view that it is prudent to ensure that there are sufficlent reserves to provide financial fl8xibility for the future. Factors outslde the Charltws control Flucluations in the exchange rate between the UK and Ihe US continued to have a mild effect on budgetlng. The unrealised gain or loss on foreign exchang8 is shown in the financial statement and notos. Principal funding sourcas The primary sources of fundlng came from tlckèt sales charged to visitors to the Museum during normal op8ning and for special events and membership sales, together wlth any reclaimed Gil Aid. The secondary sources of funding are private and corporate hire, major donatlons from a number of sources Includlng vla the Halcyon Foundation, interest earned from endowments invested with UK & USA professional fund managers, Increasingly, Eh8 S8condary sources of Income Include the American Deli and reta51 operalion. In addition, gifts, donation5. and grants made a contribution to the year's total income. Invostment policy and objectlves The main fund is managod on a total return basis. It 18 invested through th& New Court Fund which has approxlmately 65Yo invested in return-seeking assets and 35ts/0 invasted in diversifying assets The restricted funds are Invested In the Targeted Income Shares of the New Court Fund which aims to distributa dividend incom8 Of 30% per annum.
In addition, nomine8s of the Deutsche Bank (Hamlin) hold certaln Investments in the United States of America. Funds held by Deuische Bank have b8en given a balanced (capital and income) oblectlve. During 2025. it is the inl&ntion of the Board to move £1.8m of the endowment funds into a higher revenue yleldlng fund run by Namura. Investment powers Any trust monies from tim8 to time in Ihe hands of the Trust89S that are not subject to express dlrections as to Investmenl, may, in their dlscrellon, b6 Invesled in th8 purchase of such stocks, funds, shares, securities or other Investments or propety of whatsoever nature and whatsoever as the Trustees shall in their absolut8 dlscretion Ihink fit. Reslrlctod funds The Museum has approximately £O.825 mllllon worth of monles held In 22 active restricted funds. The restricted funds include exhibltlon and conservation projects, and more recently funding for publicatlons, educational outreach and gard8n redevelopment. Further detail on each restrlcted fund is giv@n in tha Notas to th8sa financial statem8nts. RISK ASSESSMENT The Trustees have examined the major risks to which the Museum is exposed and have devel¢)ped a detailed Risk R8gister, whlch Identlfies the major risks to which the Museum and the Trust68s are exposed. This register is a live document and is considered by Ihe Trustees at every Board meeting (four tlmes a year). The table below sets out the key financial risks, whlch have been idenlified: KEY RISKS IDENTIFIED Inabllity to raise funds for the redevelopment of the exhibition ga116ry and the Manor House. RISK MITIGATION The Museum board have appointed a fund iser in the USA to make contact with major US funders 8nd Foundations. Greater u86 of internal resources In the development of the family attraclions and holida events Tha new chalrm8n and tmstees wlll be working on radical structural changes In 2025 so that expendlture can be reduced, and th Museum remaln within ts fundln envelo Senior team will modify admlssion and membership rates accordlngly. Thls review wlll also include the modification of retail rlces. Management will make contingency plans and @nsurg there is a reasonably long notlce time with Grayson's. 2. Current planned attractions do not attract Ihe requlred footfall to support the outgolng ex enditure for th8 Museum as a whole 3. Due to cash flow, drawdowns deplete the Investment portfollo, so dlvldends received decrease 4. Prices risè more than the predicted rise in admlsslon and membershlp rates, leading to a roduction In proflts. 5. The outsourcing of th8 catering function In th& dell, does not continue, leading to a transfer back to the Museum management, wlth the conse uent disru tion of seNices. FUTURE PLANS The following are consldered to be significant future plans for tho Museum: The Museum will be capitalising on the recent refurbishments of the retalnlng wall and Coach-house lo maximise the weddings and private hire offer. The American Garden deli will be run by the catering company Grayson's from February 2025.
