METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s articles are known as members of the charity.
All Trustees are appointed for a four year term, with the exception of the initial Trustees where half of their number were appointed for an initial two year term, and on stepping down after that initial four or two year term (as appropriate) were eligible for reappointment. That reappointment will be for a maximum period of a further four years. On stepping down after that further four year term each Trustee will be eligible for reappointment. That reappointment will be for a maximum period of a further four years.
POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES
The induction pack for new Trustees includes the following: organisational information, who TWAM is, what TWAM do, why TWAM do it, outcomes; role and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees; individual responsibilities as board members; information on charities and fund-raising and a schedule of delegation.
In September 2021, two one day induction sessions were held, which included visits to all 9 of TWAM’s and involved members, trustees and directors from the Strategic Board, TWAM Development Trust, TWAM Enterprises and Audit Committee. Regular strategic updates are provided at all meetings and all members receive a regular email from the Director.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
The Board meets four times a year to review progress and update the operational plans. A scheme of delegation was agreed by the Trustees at their first meeting which sets out roles and responsibilities of the Board, Trustees and officers of TWAM. If required, subcommittees may be convened to examine some areas in more detail and report back to the Board.
RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIPS
To ensure that formal procedures are in place Trustees declare their actual or potential conflicting interests with a "conflicts of interests disclosure form" annually and, at each Board meeting, if appropriate, the Trustees discuss their interests with a formal minute recorded of the interests declared and any action agreed.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that there are effective and adequate risk management and internal control systems in place to manage the strategic and operational risks the Trust has and could be exposed to.
Processes in place regarding risk management and internal controls include the following:
- A risk management framework;

Specific risk management procedures are put in place for all major projects and significant partnerships.
The Strategic Risk Register contains the most significant risks to the Trust’s objectives and highlights risk priorities as perceived at present and further actions required to manage, reduce or mitigate these risks. A risk radar is reviewed at each Trustee meeting.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
Trustees refer to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s objectives and in planning future activities.

The Trust recognises that volunteers are essential to the work that we do. Volunteers help to ensure that all of the museums and galleries are innovative, imaginative, creative, totally inclusive, secure and sustainable.
TWAM operates an extensive volunteer programme. Volunteers are engaged across many areas of its operation, from collections research and maintenance to visitor welcome. Volunteer roles are advertised via the TWAM website. In 2021/22 TWAM had 174 volunteers who contributed a total 12,646 hours (2020/21 138 volunteers and 7,302 hours).
REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR AND PUBLIC BENEFIT
Following the announcement by the Prime Minister that museums and galleries were able to reopen indoors from 17 May, TWAM venues re-opened as follows:
-
17 May – Arbeia, Discovery Museum, Great North Museum: Hancock, Laing Art Gallery, Segedunum Roman Fort, South Shields Museum & Art Gallery
-
18 May - Shipley Art Gallery
-
23 May - Stephenson Steam Railway (Sundays only / Sundays and Thursdays in May half term holidays)
-
5 June – Hatton Gallery
-
8 June - Tyne & Wear Archives (Search room)
Between Venues re-opening in May 2021 and 31 March 2022, overall in-person visits were 459,007. This meant we ended the financial year 32% above projected target and approximately 40-50% of a normal year.
We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from businesses, grant making bodies and individuals. As we recover from the impact of the pandemic, we need support to help us to care for our region’s heritage, and deliver programmes to entertain, engage and inspire our visitors and communities. This year fundraising activity has included:
Trusts and Foundations
Despite the pressures brought by the pandemic our venues and programmes have received significant funding from Trusts and Foundations who have supported our work with communities, children and young people and museum collections. In total 17 organisations supported our work in 2021/22, an increase of 54% on the previous year.
Individual Giving
In December we took part in The Big Give Christmas appeal to support rurally isolated schools to have access to cultural activities and exceeded our £10,000 target. Thanks to our

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust: Report for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022
supporters five schools in rural Gateshead and Northumberland will receive an Anglo-Saxon Box of Delight to use in their classroom which will be followed by a visit to the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery. In March we released tickets for the forthcoming Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition and were delighted to sell nearly 500 donation tickets in just 10 days raising nearly £1000 in that time. Regular giving also continued to grow and by the end of 2021/22 we had 80 people providing monthly or annual donations.
Further details, including how TWAM’s work fulfils the public benefit requirement are available in TWAM’s Impact Report https://www.twmuseums.org.uk/files/461283-impact-report-2021-22-web-final.pdf
Providing archive and museum activities that are available to the widest possible audience and give people new experiences and perspectives, and the resulting positive effect on their lives, is the motivation for the Trust’s work. The Trustees are pleased that the achievements and performance of the Trust in securing funds for TWAM’s work.
In total, the Trust raised £470,074 during 2021/22 to support TWAM programmes and activity. This funding will be allocated to TWAM to fund programmes and activities as required.

LOOKING FORWARD
The TWAM Development Trust will continue to fund raise to support the work of TWAM.
2022 is set to be an exciting year. TWAM will host the Lindisfarne Gospels exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery in March 2022 and the Hadrian’s Wall 1900 festival marking the anniversary of the building of the wall was launched in December. It is fantastic to be putting the spotlight on North East culture with these must-see events.
TWAM’s programme will continue to reflect the communities it serves and maintain its commitment to the creative case for diversity. Communities work will focus on health and wellbeing, older people and communities who otherwise would not have access to culture. This work is a major focus in Gateshead where Shipley Art Gallery acts as a hub for this.
The Multaka project, funded by Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, offers opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers to volunteer in TWAM’s venues.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND OBJECTIVES
The Trustees keep all reserves in cash which is readily available for use. The Trustees regularly review both this approach and their reserves policy and concluded that this approach still met their current needs and requirements.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees feel that it is appropriate to hold a reserve with funds to finance the administration and governance fees and will earmark the use of interest earned on investments for this purpose until the level of reserves is sufficient to meet the estimated costs of these fees for the following three years approximately £13,000. As at 31 March 2022, the general reserve element for governance costs is £12,973.
The charity is currently carrying surplus reserves and will make payments to TWAM as and when requests from TWAM are received. The additional funds carried by the charity principally represent the timing difference of monies received by the charity prior to them being paid to TWAM. Funds received by the charity which are allocated to general reserves are public monies collected via donation made at each venue.
At 31 March 2022, overall Trust unrestricted reserves are £102,775.
FUNDRAISING DISCLOSURES
The Trust is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. TWAM Development Trust does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised direct from the public follow all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission, the Code of Fundraising Practice and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all donors.

ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also directors of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company and charity 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 these financial statements the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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 preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 7 December 2022 and signed on their behalf, by:

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the Trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: Discovery Museum, Blandford Square, Newcastle, Tyne & Wear, NE1 4JA
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust 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 notes.
The functional currency of the charitable company is sterling.
Going concern
The charity’s forecasts and projections for the next twelve months show that the charity should be able to continue in operational existence for that period, taking into account reasonable possible changes in trading performance. The charity has strong positive cash balances and is forecasting for this to continue to be the case. The Trustees have stress tested their forecasts, taking into account various scenarios, and remain confident that the uncertainties do not cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
18
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Estimation uncertainty and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.
Management have approved prepayments, accruals and other cut-off adjustments. Whilst management believe that these estimates and judgements are accurate, there is every likelihood that they will not be exact.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Grant provisions
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
19
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and Trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
