OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Museum
The museum continues with its stated objective to establish and maintain a museum in England and Wales for computing and its history for the benefit of the public; thereby to collect, hold, preserve, maintain, arrange, restore, conserve, interpret, protect, present and develop artefacts and other material relating to computing; to promote the study and practice of computing and its history and to advance knowledge and education of computing for the benefit of the public; to develop and sustain activities to stimulate interest in computing and its history; such other charitable purposes beneficial to the public consistent with the objective as the Trustees shall determine. ‘Computing’ includes all matters concerned with the history and furtherance of computer science and technology and the design and development of computing systems and applications; and embraces any form of computing system.
The year 2020/21 was blighted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The museum was required to close from late March 2020 through to the end of the financial year and beyond with only brief windows during which visitors could be physically welcomed to the museum. To provide a safe environment for visitors, staff and volunteers when we were able to open, the museum arranged for enhanced ventilation (leaving doors and windows open to the greatest extent possible), installation of screens where appropriate, provision of hand sanitisation points, wearing of masks and visors by staff and volunteers, enhanced cleaning, and pre-booked timed tickets. With long periods of closure and restricted visitors, visitor numbers fell dramatically to just 1,621 in comparison to 14,239 visitors in 2019/20.
We also had to abandon our onsite education programme both for reasons of practicality and a rapid decline in demand from schools and colleges, which in 2019/20 had contributed an additional 5,609 visitors. For the same reasons we were able to host only a few corporate event / visit days. In consequence, we lost a very large part of our regular income.
To remain connected with our audiences, and to develop new audiences, we launched a significant number of online activities, including a 3D virtual tour which we offered in both self-guided and hosted versions, online lectures, “ask the experts” online discussions, increased our presence on social media and put our shop online. All these measures helped in part to establish new revenue streams, although not sufficient to replace the normal visitor-driven revenues. We are grateful to the staff and volunteers who gave of their time to develop these new ways to experience our museum. In total we offered 8 online events, 24 public guided tours (100 attendees), 10 private guided tours (650 attendees) and 22 online lectures.
During periods when we could not open to the public, but in which our staff and volunteers could come into the museum, we undertook a programme of refurbishment and redecoration and refreshed a number of exhibits. Again, we are grateful to the staff and volunteers who undertook these tasks.
Despite space limitations, the overall collection of hardware, software and publications continues to grow and the off-site storage facility is proving invaluable.
Throughout the year, media attention was high with several high-profile stories and a steady stream of film, television and radio crews telling the story of the development of computing. For example, in December 2019 the museum provided machine demonstrations and interviews for a BBC Scotland documentary “Silicon Glen: From Ships to Microchips” which was broadcast in May 2020 and made available on BBC iPlayer.

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Finances
The formal accounts reflect the activities in this director’s report.
For the Trustees, financial management became the highest priority and a significant challenge, with the uncertainties surrounding the progress of the pandemic and ever-changing government restrictions on what we could do.
Our Museum Director succeeded well at securing funding from donors and sponsors to offset the shortfall in ticket, event and corporate event hosting.
Importantly, we secured two “Covid-19 Recovery Fund” grants worth around £100, 000 from the Arts Council, and our Museum Director raised a comparable sum from crowd-funding, donations from industry and individuals, and local authority grants.
We were also able to use the government’s Job Retention Scheme (“Furlough”) to retain staff for whom we had no work when closed – fortunately this allowed such staff to volunteer for other duties than their work role and we are grateful for those that did so.
The museum once again submitted a claim to HMRC for Gallery tax relief and received approximately £60,000.
In addition, our landlord, The Bletchley Park Trust, allowed us to defer our rent for H Block for much of the financial year, which also helped cash flow, but leaves us with an obligation to pay back the deferred rent by instalments during 2021/22.
We were able to reduce expenditure on utilities, office supplies and cleaning while the museum building was unoccupied. We did however have to put in place some additional security to avoid the risk of vandalism.
Overall, through all these measures we generated slightly more income £496,617 than in 2019/20 £464,225 and reduced costs from £394,336 to £303,964. At the close of the financial year our reserves stood at a healthy £314,972. But the future remains uncertain as Covid-19 restrictions mean the museum remains closed and is unlikely to be able to re-open until the summer of 2021, and we anticipate that as an indoor venue we will see fewer visitors that in normal times and so this reserve will have to help us navigate through ongoing difficulties until at least summer 2022 when we might hope for a return to previous visitor levels.
Staffing
In the previous year the position of Museum Director had been partly funded by Bletchley Park Capital Partners (BPCP), but the company ceased trading during the year so Ms Garrad moved to becoming fully an employee of the museum and dedicated to the Museum Director role. Ms Garrad has broad responsibility for the operations and fund-raising aspects of the museum, supported, in principle, by a small and dedicated staff team of Office Manager, Events and Marketing Manager and Learning Manager. However, the Office Manager and Events / Marketing Manager positions were open at the start of the Covid closure period and have been kept open, with the hope of recruiting new post holders in the next financial year. The Trustees also hope to recruit a new Senior Curator / Head of Collections role in the same timescale.
Volunteers and Supporters
As part of working towards Arts Council Accreditation the Trustees commissioned a reform of the governance of the Volunteer Supporters’ Association and the Members’ Club. The last two are now renamed “Volunteers’ Association” and “Supporters’ Club” respectively, each with their own constitution and a well-defined relationship towards and in support of the Charity.

OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Volunteers and Supporters (continued)
Volunteers help with all aspects of exhibit curation, operations, including guiding and stewarding, serving in the shop, maintenance and administration. The association has approximately 80 active members, although we fear we may lose some who have found other activities during Covid or are unable to return while the pandemic remains a source of concern, particularly to those who are more elderly or have medical conditions. The museum would not be able to operate without the support of the Volunteers and the Trustees gratefully acknowledge their contribution.
Importantly the charity trustees may appoint a Volunteer Trustee to the Board of Trustees and we are pleased that Mr Steven Kay, one-time chairman of the Volunteers’ Association, fulfils that role. This has led to much better communication and closer cooperation between the Trustees and the Volunteers than had been the case in the past, and a positive contribution to the morale and commitment of the Volunteers.
The Supporters’ Club contributes to the museum through both a membership fee and additional support during fund-raising campaigns. Sadly, it has been unable to meet during the pandemic, but we have remained in touch with the members through newsletters and invitations to events, and they have continued to be generous towards our fund-raising.
Projects
Restoration and reconstruction projects depend on the skill and enthusiasm of the Museum's dedicated and highly skilled group of technical Volunteers. These activities have necessarily been reduced due to Covid, although many Volunteers have worked on projects at home to maintain progress. The EDSAC reconstruction project has not been able to advance significantly as the ongoing work of commissioning requires the EDSAC team to be physically in attendance, but they have been able to make some progress during short windows of opportunity. Other working exhibits have been regularly run and maintained by the Volunteers to ensure they remain in good condition and will be available when we can re-open.
A significant new project is that of taking into our archive the papers of the late Mr Tony Sale and Mrs Margaret Sale, both founders of the museum and critical to its early survival and development. The papers were generously donated by their family following the sad death of Margaret Sale in March 2020 after a period of illness. A memorial to Margaret was posted on the Museum’s web site. These papers are believed to relate to the early history of the museum and Tony’s work on the reconstruction of the wartime Colossus machines and will be an important addition to our collection.
Education
We continue to operate a very highly regarded and popular education programme, but necessarily in an online form due to Covid-19. Our Learning Manager developed new content and provided online education activities throughout the year and has planned for a refreshed onsite programme to start in Autumn 2021.
Awards
Brian Randell, Professor of Computing Science at Newcastle University, was appointed as Honorary Fellow.
Other museums
We continue to develop links with other museums. We have a good working relationship with the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, UK. We are represented by a Trustee, Mr Murrell on the committee of The British Computer Society’s Computer Conservation Society.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Arts Council accreditation
Work continues in earnest on the revised Arts Council accreditation scheme. In addition to achieving the status of accreditation, the programme of work is helping the museum bring its standards of governance, and its curatorial and operating policies, plans and procedures to a much higher professional status.
FUTURE PLANS
Our top priority is, as circumstances permit, to return the museum to being fully open every day to the public and to grow visitor numbers back to, and hopefully above, the levels we experienced before the pandemic. While restrictions remain in place, we have to manage our income and reserves carefully to ensure our long-term financial security.
Space remains a significant issue – all our galleries are full and storage likewise. We need to rationalize what we hold in our reserve collection and consider how we rotate items between display and storage to keep our offering fresh.
We also need to improve our signage, displays and visitor narrative to make our exhibits more accessible to a non-technical audience.
Achieving Arts Council Accreditation remains a key priority to improve our standing in the museum world and enable us to collaborate with other major national museums, such as The Science Museum.
Reserves policy
The policy of the directors is to maintain a level of reserves that will provide a stable base from which to fund its future activity whilst ensuring that excessive funds are not accumulated. The trustees are satisfied with the current surplus in unrestricted funds, reported on page 19 of these accounts. The introduction of new exhibits and events as mentioned above is expected to encourage an increase in donations and the trustees feel that the charity is now in a firm financial state.
Investment policy
The trustees are responsible for the safekeeping of all the assets of the charity and may invest funds as they see fit.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
I report on the accounts of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) have not been met: or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of group financial statements
The group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charitable company and its subsidiary undertaking made up to 31 March 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' (SORP March 2015).
The National Museum of Computing meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.
Going Concern
The trustees have considered the consequences of COVID-19 and other events and conditions, and it has determined that they do not create a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the charities’ ability to continue as a going concern.
The impact of COVID-19 on future performance and therefore on the measurement of some assets and liabilities or on liquidity might be significant and might therefore require disclosure in the financial statements, but the trustees have determined that they do not create a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt upon the charities ability to continue as a going concern.
Cash Flow Statement
The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in SORP bulletin 1, published in February 2016, which exempts small charities from preparing a cash flow statement.
Income
Income comprises donations together with the net trading income of the subsidiary.
Fund accounting
The charitable company's unrestricted funds consist of funds which the charitable company may use for its purposes at its discretion.
The charitable company's restricted funds are those where the donor requires the sum to be expended for a specific purpose.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category.
Expenditure on raising funds is detailed in note 4, and comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and any fundraising events.
Expenditure on charitable activities is detailed in notes 5 and 6, and comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature to support them.
