| Summary of achievements |
the main ofthe charity |
A key activity and source of revenue has been that from paying visitors. 'The open'ing ofthe museum depends very heavily on a |
|---|---|---|
| during the year | signNcant input from voiunte'ers'. A rota is organised and every |
|
| effort is made to ensure that the museum is properly staffed during |
||
| the season which normally stretches from Easter to the end of |
||
| October but which was curtailed in 2020-21.A key tactic to increase footfall to improve ahd develop our presence on social |
||
| media has b'een crucial to this aim'and the website for the museum |
||
| has been enhanced. We have also improved the range of leaflet |
||
| distribution. ' |
||
| The decision was taken to open the museum from July 21 to September 29.This was done subject to Covid restrictions which |
||
| inclitded a one way system through the museum, Perspex screens |
||
| in the shop area, visitors and volunteers wearing face masks and |
||
| visitors being shown round in small groups. This put extra strain on |
||
| volunteers and so the decision was taken to close at the end of |
||
| September, but was rewarded by a good footfall which proved |
||
| financially beneficial. |
||
| Feedback reviews from users including schools, U3A, Old Comwall |
||
| Society and other organised groups show a high level of |
||
| satisfaction with the quality ofthe visitor experience delivered by our team ofshop workers and guides, as does our visitor book. |
||
| Feedback on TripAdvisor has been consistently positive with |
||
| visitors showing appreciation ofthe quality ofwhat we are offering. |
||
| Income generation from the visitors and cafh was good considering |
||
| the late opening and the decision, not easily taken, to open for the |
||
| summer proved to be successful. |
||
| During the year the operation ofthe shop has been managed by experienced volunteers. The shop offers a wide range ofgoods |
||
| often locally made and a formal system ofstock control and | ||
| financial management is in use. Shop staff are fully trained in the |
||
| operation ofthe till and card machine and the use ofcontactless |
||
| payment. | ||
| The Croust Hut with which we maintain a good and mutually | ||
| cooperative relationship has also received good feedback for its |
||
| ambience and the quality of its food. We have endeavoured to |
||
| work more closely with them and a representative is invited to join |
||
| our monthly board meetings for the purpose ofdiscussing areas of |
||
| joint interest. They also have suffered from closure during the |
||
| pandemic but have maintained a successful take away service |
||
| during that time. | ||
| Bankers Automated Clearing Services (BAGS) is used in |
||
| preference to cheques. All transactions require the |
||
| countersignature ofanother trustee. We continue to use the |
||
| accounting system, Xero, along with a contract with an accounting |
||
| firm to handle our accounts and give accounting advice. |
||
| Whilst school visits have been curtailed compared to previous |
||
| ears, the feedback we have had from them has been ositive. |
| Wa have a continued dialogue and cooperation with the Cambome |
|---|
| School of Mines and some students have taken an interest in our |
| .activities and volunteered, to help. |
| Volunteer involvement has been encouraged in a number ofways. |
| Regular bulletins have been issued to update everyone on |
| developments. Qur usual quarterly volunteers' evenings and |
| annual dinner for volunteers and their partners have had to be |
| abandoned for this year but we hope to return to those activities as |
| the pandemic recedes. |
| The possibility ofgaining museum accreditation was considered |
| during the year but due to the amount ofwork involved itwas |
| decided to delay this until a more opportune time. |
| Extensive wprk has been done on the site by work experience |
| students at Cornwall College. This has included an ambitious tree |
| planting exercise and the clearance ofa great deal ofgorse along |
| with clearance ofareas for easier access ofvisitors. |
| The Lecture room is now fully renovated with redecoration, new |
| heating and a new projector. It is hoped to encourage wider |
| community use ofthis facility in the coming months as lockdown |
| eases. |
