PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The T rustees 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 31 March 202 2 . The T rustees 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 201 9 ).
Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
Petersfield Museum is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. It is an independent, accredited museum and currently receives no statutory or government funding beyond a small, annual, grant from Petersfield Town Council. All running costs, including staff salaries and collections care costs are met from income it raises from admissions, interest on investments and other fundraising activities.
The charity's objects are to advance the education of the public by the establishment and maintenance of a museum for items of historical and archaeological interest, archives , photographs , flora and fauna together with arts and crafts especially those relating to the town of Petersfield and the surrounding area.
The charity measures its success against the above objectives by its level of engagement with the public either by the number of visitors to the museum or attendees at its outreach events .
In all but name we are a new museum following the redevelopment and refurbishment of the whole site and, as such, do not have comparative figures available against which to measure progress. Engagement following our opening to the public on 9 June 2021 has been further tempered by the ongoing Covid pandemic, which we expect to blight visitor numbers for another couple of years.
We are nevertheless pleased to have welcomed 4,274 paying visitors between 9 June 2021 and 31 March 2022, with a further 2,324 taking part in some form of other engagement, whether that be through taking part in educational activity or outreach or attendance at one of our many events.
The museum café is operated on our behalf by a subsidiary of a local catering business, Chinwags, on a concession basis, and we estimate 7,344 individuals have visited the café – not all of whom will have been paying museum visitors.
We are now in a position where we have benchmark figures for measuring future performance against objectives.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake .

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Significant activities
2021 was the year in which we were finally able to open our Museum to the public.
In early March 2021 we moved all our collections and all our racking back from the Town Hall, and thanks to the excellent work of our curator, Sophie Yaniw, and the work by a number of volunteers some months earlier, in boxing up many items, everything was soon situated in its designated place. The move from our Dragon Street shop was completed soon afterwards, and it was great to have all our staff on site once again. April and May were spent installing all the artefacts into the cases, and also preparing the shop, and so, by May, we were able to start training both staff and volunteers on the various systems. The final refurbished museum looked absolutely fantastic. We opened to the public on Wednesday 9 June 2021, with a very positive public response. We found a local company, Chinwags, to run the museum café, which, we had decided not to run in-house for the present time. The café has attracted a regular clientele, though is not as busy as we would like, especially over the winter months – something we need to improve in the future.
The official opening of the Museum by Gyles Brandreth took place on Tuesday 12 October 2021, and was a great success, with many invited guests present, and with more guests for the reception in the evening.
In the Flora Twort Gallery we started with a presentation of many Flora Twort paintings, and this was followed in November by a presentation of Don Eades photographs, with an excellent booklet, which put the photographs into context. In March the display changed to an international theme, with a display of some of the works of the renowned artist Paula Rego, again accompanied with an excellent booklet.
In the Standfield Gallery we displayed items from George Marston, who was a Petersfield resident and the artist on the Shackleton expedition.
The Don Eades photographic archive has been given funding by the Hampshire Archives Trust, to enable us to store the items correctly, and teams of volunteers have been hard at work on that task, which we hope to complete in the next financial year.
The Edward Thomas Study Centre, with its library of some 2,500 books by and about the poet and writer Edward Thomas, opened initially on one day a week, staffed by volunteers from the Edward Thomas Fellowship. This wide-ranging collection also includes manuscript letters, a gallery display of prints, photographs and original art, together with works of contemporary poetry as it spreads its reach and interest. From March it has been open two days a week with volunteers from the museum team working alongside those from the Fellowship.
The engagement side of the Museum has been most successful, and we have all been amazed at the variety of offerings, from theatre, films, lectures, hands- on activities and walks that are now on offer and very well supported by the public.
We are pleased to say that the ‘Friends’ scheme has made a very good start, thanks in part to some ‘behind the scenes’ organised tours of the building. Most of those on each tour became a ‘Friend’, and we hope to expand this in the future.
The Board wishes to thank all the volunteers for their support in various roles, they have done an amazing job during the year. Without their continued help the Museum could not function as a resource available to the public.
We would like to thank the Board for their tremendous support during the year, and the way that they have all helped to give the museum a flying start. It has not helped that all our meetings this year have had to be held online, and we hope that we shall soon be back to face to face meetings on the museum premises.
Since the year-end, our Curator, Sophie Yaniw has left the Museum and moved north with her husband to be nearer her family. We are most grateful to Sophie for her hard work and great effort on the curatorial and interpretation side of the Museum activities, which made a significant contribution to the delivery of the successful Pathways project.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
In her place, we are delighted to welcome Louise Weller, who joins us from Pallant House Gallery where she curated many successful and high profile Art Exhibitions over the last eight years. Louise has taken on the new title of ‘Head of Collections and Exhibitions’ as the Museum moves towards highlighting the Exhibitions side of its offerings, particularly those in the Flora Twort Art Gallery.
Going forward, for marketing purposes, the organisation will be known as Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery whilst retaining the registered name of Petersfield Museum Limited.
Thanks
The Trustees are grateful to everyone who has supported our work during the year, in particular our staff, volunteers and other supporters whose commitment, enthusiasm and many skills have been indispensable.
Strategic Review
The description under the headings “Achievement and performance” and “Financial review” meet the company law requirements for the trustees to present a strategic report.
Public benefit
In shaping the objectives for the year and planning the activities, the Board has considered carefully the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
The museum provides public benefit through a range of activities, including providing educational activities, by its contribution to historical research regarding the town of Petersfield and the surrounding area and preservation of historical artefacts relating to the local area. The trustees believe that the charity fulfils its objectives and provides public benefit by:
-
opening the museum to the public and providing a good visitor experience.
-
caring for the collections in accordance with proper professional standards.
-
providing educational activities for schools, colleges and the general public.
-
facilitating activities for special interest groups.
-
working to emphasise the importance of the study of the history and archaeology of Petersfield and the surrounding area.
-
making exhibitions of art and other objects with national and international interest accessible to residents of the town and surrounding areas, as well as those who do not live locally.
-
providing access, either by appointment or on public open days, to the Edward Thomas Study Centre.
The cost of entry to the museum is set at a level which compares well with other local museums and the charges for activities are considered to offer good value for money.
Achievements and performance
Fundraising activities
During the year the f undraising activities have been underpinned by the work of our Finance Trustee , Jeremy Mitchell and another Museum Trustee, Peter Taylor , who has considerable experience in this field . Both undertake work on funding applications and reporting in a voluntary capacity.
Most of the activity this year has again been monitoring and reporting on the Pathways into the Past project , and ensuring reports are submitted in a timely manner in order to draw funds in a manner that optimises cashflow. This work is now drawing to a close and future focus will move to diversifying income streams, working on an application to join Art Council England’s National Portfolio Investment Programme for 2023 – 2026 and developing fundraising capability within the museum workforce.
As always , the Trustees are grateful to the Petersfield Town Council for their perennial grant of £2 , 500 towards the museum’s general running costs.
The charity does not use professional fundraisers. Our approach to fundraising relies on grants awarded from various providers. We organise exhibitions and events to attract the public and increase museum admissions. To ensure compliance with various regulations and laws impacting the fundraising activities and donations, the Charity has adopted a comprehensive policy in this regard. In 2022 no complaints about Petersfield Museum Ltd fundraising practices or activities were received by the fundraising regulator.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Financial review
Reserves policy
The trustees remain committed to a policy of professional curatorial direction to achieve the development of the museum and have mainta i ned the policy of designating part of the capital as a curatorial fund . This policy was temporarily amended to assist with the cost of redeveloping the enlarged site, and this amendment has been extended following the impact on reserves following the Pandemic and, more latterly, the war in Ukraine and its effect on global stock markets.
During the year the charity's main reserve fund held with Charles Stanley showed little movement , however, during the year the sum of £100 , 000 previously held as cash to support cashflow for the Pathways into the Past project , pending quarterly reimbursement from the NLHF, was returned to the investment portfolio. In addition, the sum of £ 700 ,000 has been designated by the Trustees to generate an income to pay the Curator’s salary and associated curatorial-related costs. Overall , the trustees remain satisfied that these funds are returning a reasonable rate of return over the long term .
The policy in respect of undesignated reserves is to aim to hold approximately 6 months' running costs, currently estimated at £150,000. At the year end our free reserves amounted to £398,497 and it is the Trustees aim to build the free reserve to this level over the next three to five years through fundraising and income-generating activities.
Future plans
Our future plans revolve very much around improving income generally and diversifying those sources.
It is going to take time for public confidence in visiting museums and the like and the summer of 2022 is likely to see many people playing ‘catch up’ and taking holidays postponed from 2020 and 2021. There is also the impact of the war in Ukraine and the rapidly increasing cost of living to be considered when looking at future plans, at least in the shorter-term.
We will seek to maintain our current pricing structure for at least one more fiscal year, whilst growing public engagement with our other events and activities that are not necessarily those generally associated with a museum. The cost of entry is set at a level which compares well with other local, independent museums.
We will also seek to reach out to a wider, regional if not national, audience with ‘high quality’ art exhibitions – such as the Paula Rego exhibition in place over the year-end and running into the summer. This effort will be supported by increased marketing activity to attract those visitors from further afield.
Additionally, now that the Museum is open, we shall be developing our annual ‘Friends’ offer to recruit more members to this annual membership scheme, providing users with unlimited annual access to all exhibitions and the museum with a steady income.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees (who are also the directors of Petersfield Museum Limited (a company limited by guarantee) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Petersfield Museum Limited ( the charitable company ) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) .
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company' s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' r eport, which includes the d irectors ' r eport prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the d irectors ' r eport included within the trustees' r eport has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the d irectors ' r eport included within the trustees' r eport.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies ' exemptions in preparing the trustees' r eport and from the requirement to prepare a s trategic r eport.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the s tatement of trustees' r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company ’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance , but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or, misrepresentations.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-forauditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees , as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the C ompanies Act 2006 . Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to t he charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

PETERSFIELD MUSEUM LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Petersfield Museum Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Old Courthouse, St. Peters Road, Petersfield, Hampshire, GU32 3HX, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charitable company . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Income
Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Income from general donations is recognised on receipt or once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount .
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. It includes dividends and interest. Income from fixed interest investments is recognised when received. Dividend income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
Annual membership and life membership subscriptions are recognised in full on receipt as this income is in the nature of a gift. No accrual is included for the cost of providing annual or life members with future publications as, whilst the Trustees expect to continue to provide this service, they believe there is no contractual requirement or expectation to do so.
Admissions and gift shop income is recognised at the time of the receipt.
Government grants are accounted for when receivable and any conditions attached to the grant have been met.

1.4 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All the costs, including support costs, incurred by the charity are treated as expenses of the charitable activities of the company.
1.5 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
No depreciation is provided on the buildings on the Police Station and Court House in year following the completion and subsequent opening of the museum. For financial year 2023, the trustees will obtain a valuation of the entire museum complex and determine an appropriate policy of either revaluation or depreciation going forward.
Individual fixed assets costing more than £500 have been capitalised, unless covered by specific grant or donation income.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Freehold land | not provided |
|---|---|
| Frehold Property | not provided |
| Plant and Machinery | 25% on cost |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.6 Heritage assets
Over many years the charity has been given or has acquired the artifacts on display at the Petersfield Museum, including items previously displayed in the Flora Twort Gallery.
Artifacts are acquired when there is a connection to Petersfield and the surrounding area and the trustees feel that the acquisition of such items will enhance the collection.
The charity has a clear duty of care for these assets and to make them available for the enjoyment and education of the public as far as possible, commensurate with their long term care and preservation. The highest possible standards of collection management are applied by the charity.
The trustees policy is to include heritage assets in the accounts at their insurance value. The valuation in the accounts therefore represents the insurance valuation at the latest renewal date together with the value of any additional heritage assets acquired between this date and the financial year end.
A register of heritage assets is maintained by the curatorial staff. It is intended that this will be updated when the collection returns to the museum site.
The museum also acquires a number of heritage assets through donation which are of a relatively minor value. Where the value of each item is considered by the curatorial staff of the museum to be less than £ 500 these items are not included in the accounts. The trustees consider that such items will have a minor impact on the overall value of the charity's heritage assets.
With the reopening of the museum to the public, as much of the collection as is commensurate with the care and preservation of the artifacts will be put on public display. Where a request is made for more detailed access to an item for the purpose of research, each such request will be considered on its individual merits.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
1.9 Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items .
1.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less .

1.11 Financial instruments
The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company 's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.12 Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
1.13 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.14 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.15 Fund accounting
Where funds are received for a specific purpose set out by the donor or implied by the terms of appeal, these are shown as restricted income in the Statement of Financial Activities. Funds donated to be held as capital are shown as Endowment Funds. Expenditure for the purpose specified is applied against the income and any amount unexpended at the balance sheet date is shown within Restricted F unds.
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the T rustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
The Trustees, at their discretion, may set aside funds to cover specific future costs. Such funds are shown as designated funds within Unrestricted funds. Where the T rustees decide such funds are no longer required for the purposes intended, they may be released by transfer to general Unrestricted funds.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
- Valuation of fixed assets including heritage assets (see note 1.6).

22 Restricted funds
(Continued)
The restricted funds Blackrock and M&G Investments were all passed to Hampshire County Council under the will of Flora Twort and were subsequently transferred to the charity. The Blackrock and M&G Investments funds represent a trust fund the income from which can only be used on the Flora Twort gallery building or collections.
The Flora Twort fund represents its share of the police station purchased partly with the disposal proceeds of the gallery building itself.
The restricted fund Pathways project (previously described as the Capital Project) represents funds received principally from the Heritage Lottery Fund but also from trusts, foundations and individual donors towards the redevelopment of the enlarged site and the provision of public engagement activities. These funds are only recognised once all the requirements to receive the funds have been fully satisfied.
The Edward Thomas Study Centre represents Heritage Assets and the value of the books loaned by the Edward Thomas Fellowship to Petersfield Museum for display in the Edward Thomas Study Centre. They are insured by Petersfield Museum.
The Don Eades fund represents a project to conserve and preserve the negatives within the collection. The work is to be carried out during the exhibition period November 2021 to May 2022.
The School for Social Entrepreneurs fund was earmarked to fund the Digital Ticketing System as part of the Pathways Project which was successfully delivered in the year, therefore a transfer between funds has been made.
The Flora Twort Gallery fund is a capital project with the purpose of constructing a purpose built art and temporary exhibition gallery to government indemnity scheme standard, known as the Flora Twort Gallery (formerly the South East Gallery (SEG)) and work commenced and finished at the same time as that on the capital elements of Pathways into the Past. It was financed largely through a donation of £375,000 from the HB Allen Charitable Trust, with two or three smaller grants to meet the expected capital cost of £385,000
The other restricted funds represent the income from grants and donations made to the charity for specific projects and associated expenses.
