|Summary|ofthe||main|||
|achievements
ofthe charity
during the year||||Over the last year there has seen some excellent work from our
volunteers
to recover from the COVID —19pandemics.
The recovery of||
|||||our presence
within the community
has continued
even though
it has to||
|||||been hard with a number ofprocedures
in place to continue
offering a||
|||||safe environment
for our visitors and volunteers
alike. We continue to||
|||||maintain
a number ofmeasures
including
sanitisation
stations
and||
|||||availability
of masks as some vulnerable
individuals
still require the||
|||||option to have those amenities
in place.||
|||||I would
like to concentrate
upon and highlight
what
I, as Chair of||
|||||Trustees, believe to be the biggest strength
and achievement
that any||
|||||organisation,
wholly
run by volunteers,
could have had over the past year||
|||||ofthis report.||
|||||Although
the lockdowns
have been removed
it is our volunteers
that have||
|||||worked
hard to continue to prepare
plans, procedures
and preparations||
|||||for the time we can re-open eventually
to our pre pandemic
level. The||
|||||consideration
ofthe effect oflockdown
on the condition ofour archives,||
|||||exhibits and c1350building
that houses our collection of Rayleigh||
|||||artifacts has not been easy.
Without the volunteers
we would
not have||
|||||carried out lots of our preparations
for the days, weeks and months
when||
|||||eventually
we could welcome our community
back into our museum.||
|||||We were pleased to welcome to the museum
the Rochford Tapestries,||
|||||an excellent series ofembroidered
panels that represented
all ofthe||
|||||districts within
Rochford.
This exhibition
drew
in a large number of||
|||||visitors and went towards
raising our profile within the community.||
|||||We had been preparing
over the last year our application
for eligibility to||
|||||apply for accreditation.
With a Iot ofhard work we achieved the ability for||
|||||us as a museum
to now be 'Working
towards accreditation.
With||
|||||accreditation
it would give us the opportunity
to be allowed to borrow||
|||||displays
and artifacts from other accredited
museums
so enhancing
our||
|||||ability to bring differing
exhibitions
and displays to our community||
|||||Unfortunately,
we have lost some vital fundraising
activities
but are||
|||||working to introduce a changing
programme
for the future incorporating|a|
|||||wide range oftalks and heritage events.||
|||||In summary
For a small museum
totally operated
by an excellent and||
|||||dedicated
group ofvolunteers
the last year has been our greatest||
|||||challenge
and achievement.||
|||||Finance Reserves Policy||
|Briefstatement|||ofthe|As part of our on-going
financial
sustainability,
we have a||
|charity's|policy||on reserves|contingency/reserve
fund.
We aim to maintain
