Chairman’s Report** **2025** marked the completion of my first full year in office. I have been able to learn much about the running of a small museum and have enjoyed the experience. This, in part, is due to the enthusiasm and professional capabilities I have witnessed amongst the other trustees and volunteers. We have continued to enjoy strong support from the ‘Friends of Portland Museum’ under the watchful eye of Angela Scott. ## **Staffing Arrangements** We have been very pleased with the performance of our paid member of staff, Chloe Taylor, and have therefore renewed her contract until 31[st] December 2027. We have also increased her wages by 4%. Although this adds to our expenditure, her contribution to the day-to-day running of the museum remains essential. - Her responsibilities include coordinating volunteers, banking takings, ordering shop stock, and monitoring alarms. - She produces a detailed bi-monthly Operations Report for each Trustees’ meeting, summarising the museum’s day-to-day operations. - Chloe works six days a week during the opening season, from April to September, and two days a week during the closed season. - It is important to recognise the invaluable contribution made by our volunteers, who now number more than 60. Their support covers a wide range of activities, including behind-the-scenes accession work and cataloguing, keeping the museum tidy, welcoming visitors, and caring for our garden. Without their commitment, it would be impossible to run the museum effectively. ## **Financial pressures** Two of our most significant financial pressures are electricity costs (more than £2,000) and insurance (£5,108). Both are unavoidable. During the colder months, we must maintain stable temperature and humidity levels to protect delicate artefacts, despite the challenges presented by buildings that were not designed for modern museum conservation. ## **Banking arrangements** - The Trustees decided to explore alternative banking arrangements after Santander increased its standard charges. Although the move to CAF Bank involved considerable administrative difficulty and a good deal of red tape, the transition has now been completed successfully. New accounts are in place, and the new banking arrangements, including direct debits, are operating smoothly. ## **Lease renewal** - Another major concern in 2025 was the short length of time remaining on our Full Repairing Lease with Dorset Council. With only six years left, we were unable to apply for capital grants from organisations such as the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England. Negotiations with the Council to secure a new 49-year lease began in 2024 and continued throughout 2025. I am pleased to report that these discussions reached a successful conclusion in August 2025, and the renewed lease will now run until August 2074. 2 ## **Roof repairs** As previously reported, part of the Museum is housed in two 17[th] century cottages with thatched roofs. One of the most important tasks in 2025 was a major repair to the ridge thatch on the roof of the Marie Stopes Cottage. We obtained three quotations for the work, ranging from £9,000 to £13,000, and were satisfied that the lower quote would still deliver a competent standard of workmanship. The work was therefore commissioned at the end of the season and was successfully completed in November, just before the onset of the worst winter weather. ## **Visitors and financial outlook** Visitor numbers in 2025 were broadly in line with 2024, with a modest increase of 2.9%. While attendance remained steady, the Trustees continued to focus closely on the museum’s overall financial position. - Shop sales remained stable. - The museum ended the financial year with a deficit of £6,284. - To protect the museum’s limited reserves, Trustees continue to monitor expenditure carefully throughout the year. ## **Revenue support grant** In 2021, the museum was awarded £5,000 per year for three years (2021–2023) through Dorset Council’s Organisational Revenue Support Fund. For the next funding round, covering 2024–2026, the museum submitted a more ambitious application and was delighted to secure £15,000 per year. As 2026 will be the final year of this grant, a key priority will be to begin discussions with Dorset Council about future support. This revenue funding remains essential to the museum’s financial stability. Looking ahead to the 2026 season, the Trust will continue working to strengthen the museum’s financial resilience and safeguard its long-term future. Tony Flux MSc 19[th] June 2026 ## **2. About the Trust** Portland Museum Trust is a 'Not for Profit Company Limited by Guarantee', registered in June 2007, operating as an independent charitable trust. The Trust took over the ownership of the museum collection and the management and operational responsibility for Portland Museum from Weymouth & Portland Borough Council in March 2008, under the terms of a 25-year full repairing and insuring lease. A s s t a t e d , this lease had only 6 years remaining and needed to be renewed. 3 The Council remained the owner of the Museum until April 2019 when a Dorset-wide reorganization of local councils saw the abolition of Weymouth & Portland Borough Council, and the creation of the new Dorset Council. Portland Museum became an asset of Dorset Council, initially for an interim year but was then confirmed as a final arrangement The Trust is a Registered Charity (No.1132576), and its operation is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Its objects are – _"The objects for which the Trust is formed are (but only in so far as the same are charitable): the advancement of the education of the public by providing and maintaining a museum of artefacts and specimens relating to the natural sciences, natural history, archaeology, literature, music, the fine and decorative arts, antiquities and local history relating in particular to the Island of Portland"_ **The Board of Trustees** , as of 31[st] December 2025 we had 9 Trustees Members are ably assisted by our independent Chartered Accountant, Adele Russell of AR Accounting. We are sad to report the death of one of our most loyal and long-standing Trustees, Michael Osmond, who passed away in March 2026. - Tony Flux (Chair) - Andrea Frankham-Hughes (Company Secretary /Archaeologist) - David Carter (Maritime Collection & Buildings) - Nance Grace (Collection Care) - Amanda Wallwork (link with b-side) - Stella New (Environmental Monitoring & Collection Care) - Rob Hughes Dorset Councillor - Jamie Ashwanden (Finance) - James Barker (Buildings and maintenance) We hope to recruit one more person for the Board during 2026. ## **3. Links to other Organisations** The Trust works with many other organisations and is pleased to be associated with: Arts Council England Nautical Archaeology Society Association of Independent Museums Nothe Fort b-side Portland Bill Lighthouse Budmouth Academy, Weymouth Portland Town Council [PTC] Dorset Council Receiver of Wreck Dorset Museum Royal Museums Greenwich Dorset Museums Association Shire Hall, Dorchester Historic England St George’s Church Modes St Georges Heritage Study Centre, Portland MSDS Marine St Georges School, Portland SW Museum Association Weymouth LUNAR Society National Lottery Heritage Fund Weymouth & Portland Heritage Group 4 ## **4. Events and displays held in 2025, projects and awards** ## **A. Key Events** ## **(Core Annual Events)** Our established annual programme continued to perform strongly, with **Dino Day** , **Pirate Day** , and the **Festival of Archaeology** remaining some of our most popular family events. ## **What’s All This Bunny Business? – Talk by Sophie Fretwell — 27th March** A creative exploration of Portland folklore blended with Japanese mythology, led by local artist Sophie Fretwell. - Highlighted community storytelling and cross-cultural connections. - Continued the museum’s support for local creatives. ## **Danes in Dorset – Illustrated Talk — 1st May** A historical overview delivered by Jack Durie, exploring 300 years of Viking activity in Britain with a focus on Dorset. - Supported the museum’s educational aims and broadened historical programming. ## **Community Quarry & Stone Sessions (Free Events)** Exploring Portland’s quarrying heritage through shared memories, stories, and poetry. - Sessions were held on 30th April, 28th May, 16th July, and 13 th August. ## **Museum Open Day & Portland Poetry Reading — 7th June** Our first Open Day welcomed new visitors, strengthened community links, and encouraged relaxed exploration of the museum and grounds. ## **Highlights:** - Strong engagement for a first-time event. - Poetry readings added a reflective cultural element and broadened appeal. - Many first-time visitors who had “always meant to visit”. - Built new relationships with local creatives and community groups. ## **Dorset Songs of Stone – Poetry Festival — 26[th] July** The Dorset Songs of Stone Poetry Festival formed the culmination of our summer poetry programme. The event brought together museum volunteers, local residents, and guest community readers to share new poetry and nature-writing created in response to our earlier open-day readings of the Portland Poets. Throughout June and July, visitors were invited to take part in a creative challenge inspired by Skylark Durston, Bob Woollage, George Davey, and Boy Male, supported by a leaflet of prompts developed for the museum. The festival showcased these new community responses alongside original work by the Portland Poets (shared with kind permission from their families). The afternoon created a reflective, intergenerational space for celebrating Portland’s landscape, memory, and creative heritage, further strengthening the museum’s role as a hub for local arts and storytelling. 5 This project was also recognised externally: the Weymouth Civic Society selected Dorset Songs of Stone for their 2026 Heritage Award, acknowledging the museum’s contribution to cultural life in Weymouth and Portland and the impact of this community-centered creative programme. (See also Section 4c) ## **Portland’s Quirky Railways – Illustrated Talk by John New — 23rd October** Held at C2000 Hall as part of the national **Rail 200** celebrations. Explored 200 years of Portland’s railway history, including the Merchants Railway anniversary and 60 years since the last passenger train. ## **Highlights:** - Strong audience interest in local transport heritage. - Illustrated format brought Portland’s unusual railway history to life. - Reinforced the museum’s role in national heritage moments. ## **Frank’s Christmas Film Fundraiser — 11th December** A festive community event featuring h1ome-film footage from the Frank Marshall archive, with commentary from former quarrymen Trev McColm and Rab Stone. - Offered rare glimpses of 1960s Portland life. - Combined nostalgia, storytelling, and local voices. ## **B.

Projects and Awards** ## **The Big Portland History Project** During summer 2025, Portland Museum worked in partnership with St George’s Primary School to design and deliver _The Big Portland History Project_ . The project aimed to give every pupil the opportunity to explore the history of the island and develop a stronger connection with Portland’s heritage. Funding from the Chesil Local Alliance Group (LAG) enabled the school to release a member of staff for one day a week to manage the project. Over two full terms, each year group focused on a different aspect of local history, supported by practical workshops delivered by the museum. ## **Topics covered included:** - Portland’s railway history, studied by the reception class. - Portland’s role during the Second World War, studied by Year 6. - Fossils and shipwrecks, explored by other year groups. See: htps://www. stgeorgesportland.co.uk/ At the Weymouth and Portland Civic Society Awards ceremony on 18[th] June 2026, Portland Museum was awarded the prestigious ‘Heritage’ award for our work in providing community events ( _Songs of Stone’_ ) that celebrated the poetry of Portland and encouraged local people to contribute to that rich and colourful heritage. ## **5.

Friends of Portland Museum [FoPM]** ## **Membership and overall position** 2025 was another successful year for the Friends of Portland Museum, although membership was slightly lower than in 2024, when there were 54 members. ## **Member visits and activities** The out-of-hours visit to the museum was offered again in July. A small group of Friends took up the opportunity and enjoyed a relaxed tour of the museum, followed by time to talk together in the museum garden. In September, 25 Friends, Trustees and Volunteers visited the Nothe Fort in Weymouth, where they received an excellent guided tour from the Fort’s volunteers. The monthly talks at C2000 are now well established, and a further eight well-attended talks were held during the year. Two were particularly popular: one on the Battle of Britain and one on Portland railways. ## **Membership fees and support** Membership fees were kept at the same level as in 2024: £10 for a single membership and £15 for a couple. These contributions continue to support the museum’s general fund. _Information provided by Angela Scott_ ## **9. Acknowledgements** ## **Reflections on the year** As I completed my second year as Chair of the Trustees, I am increasingly aware of the responsibilities involved in running a small museum. The financial pressures are significant, particularly with a full repairing lease and a group of historic buildings to maintain. ## **Community support** Those buildings, however, are central to what makes Portland Museum distinctive. The dedication of our volunteers and the continued support of the local community make the effort worthwhile. Portland has a long tradition of looking after its own, and that spirit is reflected in the support the Museum receives. It is deeply encouraging to see how much the Museum is valued by the people of Portland, and I remain confident in its future. ## **Thanks** Finally, I would like to thank the staff and Trustees for their unwavering support, both to me personally and to the Museum throughout the year. ## **Tony Flux MSc** **Chair of the Trustees** 24[th] June 2026 Registered number 06292060 PORTLAND MUSEUM TRUST DIRECTORS.
