The organisation and decision-making processes of OCC are described in documented Rules which
were approved at a general meeting of Members on 12 December 2014. There is a Management
Committee comprised of at least five and not more than nine people. each elected for è three year
term at a general meeting of Member5, which 15 responsible for the overall direction and
management of OCC. The Head Conservator, who is an ex officio member of the Management

accounts are reviewed by Members at general meetings.

managing the risks due to coronavirus. ensuring business continuity and provision of services to
Members, and safety of staff members.
Objects, Objectives and Principal activities

Achievements and Performance
In the period under review OCC continued to provide collection care expertise and advice to
Members. This included preservation activities such as environmental monitoring and control,
rehousing collections, providing digital surrogates of fragile and heavily consulted material, and
giving advice on exhibition loans, pest monitoring, and the interpretation of 5tandard5 relating to
heritage collections. Programmes of ongoing remedial conservation treatment, Dn single and
multiple items, were agreed between curators and the Head Conservator. Over the year, OCC then
worked to treat and 5tabilise collection materials so they could be consulted, exhibited,
photographed for users, and preserved for the future. We continued to support Members in their
collection care activities, including raising the profile of heritage conservation and historic librarv
and archive collettions through publications, blogposts, visits. fundraising activities, conference
papers and webinar talks. We h05ted studio tours for our Members, conservation students. and
members of the public, and organized training and information sessions for our Members.
In 2020121, OCC began to Supply conservation and preservation services to the Oxford Centre for
Islamic Studies IOCISI, via an external contract. OCIS is an Oxford-based centre for the advanced
study of Islam and Muslim societies and a registered educational charity. OCIS has an important
collection of manuscripts and archival materials requiring conservation treatment, advice, and care.
OCC maintsins the Chantry Library and its collertion of technical conservation literature. The
Library is normally open for consultation by anyone with an interest in conservation, but this access
was severely disrupted due to Covid-19. The Librèry was closed to readers in March 2020. and the
Librarian continued to work part-time from home on cataloguing. During closure due to lockdown,
the Head of Conservation responded to a small number of inquiries and operated the scan and
send service. In Feb 2021. the Librarian's contratt was not renewed, and from then we outsourced
cataloguing to the Assistant Librarian of one of the OCC members. The outside inquires decreased
but the collection continued to be used by the OCC conservation team in their daily studio work
and during lockdown for research. The Library received small donations of books from deceased
and retired conservators, other small professional conservation libraries which had closed, and
individuals who left the conservation field.
Our major achievements for 20121 were to have continued to provide a full range of services to our
members,. to have supported our staff as they returned to full-time work on site,. to have supported
our members with their queries about Covid-19, quarantining material, and reader requests,. and to
have ensured business continuity during a challenging time.

activities of the Chantry Library and a surplus of £43,225 from its charitable activities. before
transfer5 between funds. Unrestricted reserves stood at £249,902 on 31 July 2021. The policy of
the CIO is to accumulate unrestricted reserves of approximately £200,000 (the equivalent of
approximately six months expenditure) for the purposes of continuing services and meeting its
obliRations.
Future plans
OCC will continue to improve its services to members, build relationships and share knowledge,
and develop the ski115 of its conservation team. Our aim is to improve the utility, useful life, visual
and educational impact of heritage objerts in our members, collections. In 20121 the Chantry
bequest which had supporred the Library since 2016 when OCC took over ownership from the
Institute of Conservation, was exhausted. In 21122 we will discuss the future direction of the
Chantry Library and plan for its f1nancial support and a part-time librarian. The Chantry Library 15 an
important source of information about technical conservation, heritage, and the development of
the conservation profession in the UK, ènd OCC will continue its efforts to support this.

Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
OCC is a public benefit entity. The financial statements have been prepared under the
historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021, and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the
charity. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest pound.
Income
All Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on 3 receivable basis.
Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under
appropriate expenditure heading5. Expenditure on equipment with a c05t under £2.000
is expensed in the year of purchase.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees
in furtherance of the general objective5 of the Charity. Restricted Funds are limited to
supporting the operating costs of the Chantry Librarv.
Pensions
Pension costs, which consist of contributions to a multi-employer defined benefit
scheme and Nest are accounted for in the period they fall due.
Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate
and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast Significant doubt on
the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern, including the impact of the on-
going COVI D-19 emergency. The Charity has prepared forecasts, taking into account the
potential pressures on income, which confirm the Charity will have sufficient liquidity to
operate for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these financial
statements. The Charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing its financial statements.
