Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors report) for the year ended 31 March 2021

The Museum has been closed over the financial period due to Covid restrictions, the staff have been placed on furlough although their salaries were not reduced.

The fact that we were awarded government grants and ABC continued their financial support has allowed the Museum to remain in a favourable financial position.

||

We also thank ABC for continuing with their plans to modify the front entrance to comply with DDA regulations as well a building a new toilet block. The work commenced in late 2020 and was almost completed by the end of the financial year.

We look forward to resuming normal activities in the 2021/2022 period.
