2023 Annual Report Museum of Architecture Illl

MoA’s Mission

Throughout MoA’s 18 years, we have curated and produced over 1,000 talks, conferences, exhibitions and events and workshops. Our ticketed attendance to our programming is now over 130,000+ people and our public space installations and exhibitions have been seen by over 500,000 people. Our family programme, School for Creative Thinkers, is based around biomimicry and nature based solutions. We have worked with institutions such as the V&A, Somerset House, RGB Kew Gardens, Cadogan, Grosvenor, South Kensington Estates, Design Museum and RIBA to host our exhibitions.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and Performance for Oct 2022 - Sept 2023

The Museum of Architecture continued its annual programming and on-going projects as well as creating new opportunities by expanding programming internationally.

The Gingerbread City®

The Gingerbread City® was once again held in Belgravia with the support of Grosvenor. This year’s theme was around eco-systems.

The exhibition had wide media coverage including multiple news stations, key stories in printed press. The total press outreach from the 20222023 edition was a minimum of 1.18 million press and 815K social media views.

GBC brought in over 20,000 visitors for the exhibition and over 1,500 people attended the gingerbread house making workshops.

We had continued sponsorship from Finsa for the wood materials and Phos for lighting which helped make the event possible. The master planning was done by Tibbalds and Madeleine Kessler Architects.

Audience

Attracting audiences young and old, GBC has attracted more than 100,000 visitors since it started in 2016.

Workshops

In addition to the exhibition, the MoA runs a series of family workshops. The Gingerbread housemaking workshops target families and engaged with over 4500 families over the past five years.

Press 2022-2023

The exhibition receives wide press coverage in the UK and internationally including the US, China, Japan, France and many more. The UK highlights include online articles in The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Time Out.

The exhibition aired on the BBC and ITV news and the founder Melissa Woolford gave an interview on BBC Radio’s Robert Elms Show, with over half a million listeners a week as well as appearing on Sunday Brunch.

Achievements and Performance for Oct 2022 - Sept 2023 cont’d

School for Creative Thinkers

School for Creative Thinkers, MoA’s Family programming, further developed it’s Nature’s Architects kits bringing 7 fully finished kits to market that include, Bee, Bird, Bear, Cactus, Mushroom, Raccoon, and Coral Reef.

Each of these kits is available on www. schoolforcreativethinkers.com.

The kits teach about a specific animal, plant or insect that, through biomimicry, can influence or help us better understand the built environment.

There are 4 more kits that have been developed that need finalising when funding is in place.

These kits are very exciting and we are now looking for partners to sell them in shops, use them in workshops and make them as accessible as possible to a wide audience.

The kits are sold at The Gingerbread City exhibition pop-ups and have been well received.

Achievements and Performance for Oct 2022 - Sept 2023 cont’d

Treehouses at Kew

Treehouses was made live again and participating architects were asked to refine their designs through RIBA Stage 4 while working with Arup to look at ways of making them easier to build to bring down the cost.

MoA managed this new stage of work with Kew’s interim Programme Director and project team.

MoA continued to seek in-kind funding, and project sponsors while also working on various parts of the project including the book, products, and more.

At the end of the financial year, the Treehouse stage 4 work was on-going by the architects and Arup and was to be reviewed by a QS to better understand the viability of the project after this stage.

The plan for Treehouses was to open in 2025 if the costs came back and were in budget.

Future Planning Oct 2022 - Sept 2023 cont’d

Planning was underway for The Gingerbread City 2023 in both New York City and London.

The theme for the 2023-2024 year would be Water in Cities to correspond to the environmental crises taking place across the world involving water such as flooding, droughts and forest fires.

The New York version would take place at The Seaport in downtown NYC and include New York based architects. Contact was being made with New York architecture practices to discuss their involvement.

The London version would take place at Westfield Mall, the largest mall in Europe, and be the largest venue that GBC has ever been showcased in. The White City location was chosen to attract a new, diverse audience who would not have been exposed to GBC before.

Overall Summary

The team worked incredibly hard this year to continue on-going projects such as GBC London and Treehouses, as well as develop new opportunities abroad to maintain the charity’s sustainability in the UK’s continued economic upheaval.

MoA’s audience remains strong, partners engaged, supporters steadfast, and sponsors growing.

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Financial review

Total income for the year has decreased to £348,819 (2022: £383,035). Total expenditure for the year was £344,334 (2022: £373,033).

The overall result is a surplus for the year of £4,485 (2022: £10,002). Total reserves now stand at £14,795 (2022: £10,310).

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

In 2021, reserves were affected by a significant decrease in income as a result of Covid. The charity is planning to build the reserves back up over the next year or two.

Major risks

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

Planning was underway for The Gingerbread City 2023 in both New York City and London.

The theme for the 2023-2024 year would be Water in Cities to correspond to the environmental crises taking place across the world involving water such as flooding, droughts and forest fires.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Museum of Architecture is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Flat 5, 11 Rutland Gate, London, SW7 1BH.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Income is deferred to the extent that it relates to future periods.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at the recoverable amount.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amount payable.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

19 Contingent Liability

The main contractor (management) has not received their full fees in order to support the development of the charity. The contractor has provided written confirmation to the charity that the liability will only become due if there are unrestricted reserves and making payment would not create financial difficulty for the charity. The potential liability is therefore contingent on the availability of free reserves. The amount owed at 30 September 2023 is £129,959 (2022: £136,959).

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

The Museum of Architecture continued its annual programming and on-going projects as well as creating new opportunities by expanding programming internationally.

The Gingerbread City®

The Gingerbread City® was once again held in Belgravia with the support of Grosvenor. This year’s theme was around eco-systems.

The exhibition had wide media coverage including multiple news stations, key stories in printed press. The total press outreach from the 2022- 2023 edition was a minimum of 1.18 million press and 815K social media views.

GBC brought in over 20,000 visitors for the exhibition and over 1,500 people attended the gingerbread house making workshops.

We had continued sponsorship from Finsa for the wood materials and Phos for lighting which helped make the event possible. The master planning was done by Tibbalds and Madeleine Kessler Architects.

Audience

Attracting audiences young and old, GBC has attracted more than 100,000 visitors since it started in 2016.

Workshops

In addition to the exhibition, the MoA runs a series of family workshops. The Gingerbread house- making workshops target families and engaged with over 4500 families over the past five years.

Press 2022-2023

The exhibition receives wide press coverage in the UK and internationally including the US, China, Japan, France and many more. The UK highlights include online articles in The Guardian, The Evening Standard, Time Out.

The exhibition aired on the BBC and ITV news and the founder Melissa Woolford gave an interview on BBC Radio’s Robert Elms Show, with over half a million listeners a week as well as appearing on Sunday Brunch.

Treehouses at Kew

Treehouses was made live again and participating architects were asked to refine their designs through RIBA Stage 4 while working with Arup to look at ways of making them easier to build to bring down the cost.

MoA managed this new stage of work with Kew’s interim Programme Director and project team.

MoA continued to seek in-kind funding, and project sponsors while also working on various parts of the project including the book, products, and more.

At the end of the financial year, the Treehouse stage 4 work was on-going by the architects and Arup and was to be reviewed by a QS to better understand the viability of the project after this stage.

The plan for Treehouses was to open in 2025 if the costs came back and were in budget.

MUSEUM OF ARCHITECTURE

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Financial review

Total income for the year has decreased to £348,819 (2022: £383,035). Total expenditure for the year was £344,334 (2022: £373,033).

The overall result is a surplus for the year of £4,485 (2022: £10,002). Total reserves now stand at £14,795 (2022: £10,310).

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

In 2021, reserves were affected by a significant decrease in income as a result of Covid. The charity is planning to build the reserves back up over the next year or two.

Major risks

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Plans for future periods

Planning was underway for The Gingerbread City 2023 in both New York City and London.

The theme for the 2023-2024 year would be Water in Cities to correspond to the environmental crises taking place across the world involving water such as flooding, droughts and forest fires.

The New York version would take place at The Seaport in downtown NYC and include New York based architects. Contact was being made with New York architecture practices to discuss their involvement.

The London version would take place at Westfield Mall, the largest mall in Europe, and be the largest venue that GBC has ever been showcased in.

The White City location was chosen to attract a new, diverse audience who would not have been exposed to GBC before.

Overall Summary

The team worked incredibly hard this year to continue on-going projects such as GBC London and Treehouses, as well as develop new opportunities abroad to maintain the charity’s sustainability in the UK’s continued economic upheaval.

MoA’s audience remains strong, partners engaged, supporters steadfast, and sponsors growing.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Museum of Architecture is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Flat 5, 11 Rutland Gate, London, SW7 1BH.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Income is deferred to the extent that it relates to future periods.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at the recoverable amount.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently carried at amount payable.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The director was also reimbursed expenses of £1,063 (2022: £1,083).

18 Subsidiaries

These financial statements are separate charity financial statements for the Museum of architecture.

19 Contingent Liability

The main contractor (management) has not received their full fees in order to support the development of the charity. The contractor has provided written confirmation to the charity that the liability will only become due if there are unrestricted reserves and making payment would not create financial difficulty for the charity. The potential liability is therefore contingent on the availability of free reserves. The amount owed at 30 September 2023 is £129,959 (2022: £136,959).
