|Summary of <br>achievements|the main<br>ofthe charity|A key activity and source of revenue has been that from paying<br>visitors. 'The open'ing ofthe museum<br>depends<br>very heavily on a|
|---|---|---|
|during the year||signNcant<br>input from voiunte'ers'.<br>A rota is organised<br>and every|
|||effort is made to ensure that the museum<br>is properly<br>staffed during|
|||the season which<br>normally<br>stretches<br>from Easter to the end of|
|||October but which was curtailed<br>in 2020-21.A key tactic to<br>increase footfall to improve<br>ahd develop our presence on social|
|||media has b'een crucial to this aim'and<br>the website for the museum|
|||has been enhanced.<br>We have also improved<br>the range of leaflet|
|||distribution.<br>'|
|||The decision was taken to open the museum<br>from July 21 to<br>September 29.This was done subject to Covid restrictions<br>which|
|||inclitded a one way system through the museum,<br>Perspex screens|
|||in the shop area, visitors and volunteers<br>wearing face masks and|
|||visitors being shown<br>round<br>in small groups. This put extra strain on|
|||volunteers<br>and so the decision was taken to close at the end of|
|||September,<br>but was rewarded<br>by a good footfall which proved|
|||financially<br>beneficial.|
|||Feedback reviews from users including<br>schools, U3A, Old Comwall|
|||Society and other organised<br>groups show a high level of|
|||satisfaction<br>with the quality ofthe visitor experience<br>delivered<br>by<br>our team ofshop workers and guides, as does our visitor book.|
|||Feedback on TripAdvisor<br>has been consistently<br>positive<br>with|
|||visitors showing<br>appreciation<br>ofthe quality ofwhat we are offering.|
|||Income generation<br>from the visitors and cafh was good considering|
|||the late opening<br>and the decision,<br>not easily taken, to open for the|
|||summer<br>proved to be successful.|
|||During the year the operation<br>ofthe shop has been managed<br>by<br>experienced<br>volunteers.<br>The shop offers a wide range ofgoods|
|||often locally made and a formal system ofstock control and|
|||financial<br>management<br>is in use. Shop staff are fully trained<br>in the|
|||operation ofthe till and card machine<br>and the use ofcontactless|
|||payment.|
|||The Croust Hut with which we maintain a good and mutually|
|||cooperative<br>relationship<br>has also received good feedback for its|
|||ambience<br>and the quality of its food. We have endeavoured<br>to|
|||work more closely with them and a representative<br>is invited to join|
|||our monthly<br>board meetings<br>for the purpose ofdiscussing<br>areas of|
|||joint interest. They also have suffered<br>from closure during the|
|||pandemic<br>but have maintained<br>a successful take away service|
|||during that time.|
|||Bankers Automated<br>Clearing Services (BAGS) is used<br>in|
|||preference to cheques.<br>All transactions<br>require the|
|||countersignature<br>ofanother trustee. We continue to use the|
|||accounting<br>system, Xero, along with a contract with an accounting|
|||firm to handle our accounts and give accounting<br>advice.|
|||Whilst school visits have been curtailed<br>compared<br>to previous|
|||ears, the feedback we have had from them has been<br>ositive.|





|Wa have a continued<br>dialogue<br>and cooperation<br>with the Cambome|
|---|
|School of Mines and some students<br>have taken an interest<br>in our|
|.activities and volunteered,<br>to help.|
|Volunteer<br>involvement<br>has been encouraged<br>in a number ofways.|
|Regular bulletins<br>have been issued to update everyone<br>on|
|developments.<br>Qur usual quarterly<br>volunteers'<br>evenings<br>and|
|annual<br>dinner for volunteers<br>and their partners<br>have had to be|
|abandoned<br>for this year but we hope to return<br>to those activities as|
|the pandemic<br>recedes.|
|The possibility ofgaining<br>museum<br>accreditation<br>was considered|
|during the year but due to the amount ofwork involved<br>itwas|
|decided to delay this until a more opportune<br>time.|
|Extensive wprk has been done on the site by work experience|
|students<br>at Cornwall<br>College. This has included<br>an ambitious<br>tree|
|planting<br>exercise and the clearance ofa great deal ofgorse along|
|with clearance ofareas for easier access ofvisitors.|
|The Lecture room is now fully renovated<br>with redecoration,<br>new|
|heating<br>and a new projector.<br>It is hoped to encourage<br>wider|
|community<br>use ofthis facility in the coming months as lockdown|
|eases.|
