Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

This year started under the dark clouds of Covid-19 restrictions. We were able to run a small table top event but all other planned events were cancelled. The museum site was closed to all visitors and only a single selected volunteer was allowed on site to ensure security and safety. After a period of time, and some relaxation of government restrictions we were able to return to the site in a very controlled manner. This allowed us to make plans to best use the ‘down time’ for maintenance and improvements. Thankfully our Friends Group members continued to support us with various donations which helped to keep the lights on. Offsite Committee meetings were held via Skype so that communications were maintained and plans for the future could be laid down. The Friends Group Newsletter continued to be produced and distributed to ensure members were kept up to date. The museum continued to receive donations of items from around the country. Much of these were not suitable for display or were duplicates of items we already held so were stored until we would be able to dispose of them for museum funds. A lot of time has been spent on the exhibits in way of preservation and restoration. Some re-arrangement of the exhibits has been achieved in this quite period that would not have been possible when open for visitors. A sizeable bequest was received from the estate of one of our museum friends who visited us on a regular basis. He indicated that this money should be spent on securing the future of the museum and its collection and to expand the exhibition facilities. With this in mind, the Trustees and committee were engaged in the matter of what to best do with the bequest. After many discussions some ideas were investigated in detail. The final decision was to purchase the freehold of the existing museum site and extra land adjoining the museum site to further expand into. To invest in new buildings and infrastructure to allow us to increase our capability of providing educational facilities. Some of this has been completed but Covid-19 has meant that this has taken a great deal longer than we first expected and some of these plans are still waiting on legal transactions to complete, However progress is continuing and tangible changes and improvements can be seen. We look forward to the next year where we expect to achieve the completion of our current plans and expect a better year for museum events.
