Achievements and performance

Review of activities

TWAM, through its Strategic Board and its officers, delivers programmes which support its five priorities. These are aligned with the aims of TWAM’s key funding stakeholders. For reporting purposes in 2023/24 TWAM reports against the five Arts Council goals. These are:

In 2023/24, overall in-person visits were 778,630, 12% above 2022/23. Further details are available in TWAM’s Impact Report.

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:

Grants, Trusts and Foundations

We raised funding from 23 Trusts and Foundations who supported our work with communities, children and young people, and museum collections.

Examples of support for our Learning and Community programmes include: funding from the North of Tyne Combined Authority to support our Teacher CPD programme; funding over three years from the Community Foundation, Platten Family Fund for Stephenson Steam Railway’s Young Volunteers programme; and support from NESTA/Art Fund for early years activity with disadvantaged communities at the Great North Museum: Hancock and Discovery Museum.

We received funds to support our ambitious exhibition programmes, including contributions towards the development and delivery of the Turner: Art, Industry & Nostalgia exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery from the Foyle Foundation, the Barbour Foundation and the Friends of the Laing Art Gallery.

The Steam to Green exhibition and STEM learning programme in development at Discovery Museum also received its first pledge of support from the Reece Foundation.

We also benefited from funding for maintenance and improvements to our buildings including support from the Sir James Knott Trust for a new under 5s space at Discovery Museum.

Achievements and performance (continued)

Individual Giving

Individual giving totalled over £200,000 generated through visitor donations in our venues, support from our Friends groups, fundraising appeals and our new Supporters’ programme.

Donations in venues were £134k , -6% of the annual target. We ran a crowdfunder appeal to raise funds for a pond and educational resources for the Woodland Walk at Stephenson Steam Railway raising £7.1k, surpassing our target by an incredible 185%.

In this year’s Big Give Christmas appeal, we raised £11.2k (including gift aid and a £1,000 donation from Brewin Dolphin Foundation) against our target of £10,000 to support our programmes for children and young people. This made our appeal total for the year £18.3k.

To improve our regular giving offer we launched our new Supporters’ programme in August. By the end of the financial year, we had 89 Supporters and generated £9.8k income from regular giving.

Further details, including how TWAM’s work fulfils the public benefit requirement are available in TWAM’s Impact Report

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 £569,374 during 2023/24 to support TWAM programmes and activity. This funding will be allocated to TWAM to fund programmes and activities as required.

Fundraising activities and income generation

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.

Investment policy and performance

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.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Financial review

Overview

The charity's incoming resources for the year decreased from £616,859 to £569,346 and the charity's total expenditure decreased from £537,414 to £521,402. This resulted in net incoming resources for the year of £47,944 (2023: £79,445).

Total funds carried forward increased from £726,133 to £774,077 including restricted funds of £624,854 (2023: £557,501). A full breakdown of the charity's funds can be found in note 13 to the financial statements.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

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 of approximately £13,000. As at 31 March 2024, the general reserve element for governance costs is £14,599.

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 2024, overall Trust unrestricted reserves are £149,223.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

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:

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.

Methods 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.

That reappointment will be for a maximum period of a further four years.

Organisational structure and decision-making policies

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, sub- committees may be convened to examine some areas in more detail and report back to the Board. During 2023/24 meetings were held in a hybrid format enabling members to join in-person or remotely.

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 2023, an induction and refresher session was held, and involved members, trustees and directors from the TWAM Strategic Board, TWAM Development Trust, TWAM Enterprises and the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.

Regular strategic updates are provided at all meetings.

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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Development Trust ('the charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the charity (and its Directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

TYNE & WEAR ARCHIVES & MUSEUMS DEVELOPMENT TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. General information

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

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

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.

The financial statements are presented in pounds Sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

2.2 Income

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 income receivable can be measured reliably.

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 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:

TYNE & WEAR ARCHIVES & MUSEUMS DEVELOPMENT TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 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 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.

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.

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 include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and Trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.

2.4 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.

2.5 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.6 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.8 Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.9 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
