CYNON VALLEY MUSEUM TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects and aims

The objectives and activities are enshrined in the charitable objectives

“To advance the education of the public in the local history and heritage, preservation of buildings of historic and/or architectural importance and the industrial heritage of the Cynon Valley and elsewhere by the provision and maintenance of a museum and gallery in Aberdare”

The CVMT achieves this by running a programme of exhibitions across two galleries, a programme of events, digital engagement and the opening of the museum, free to the general public.

The objectives and activities for year are directly related to the continued objectives and activities of the Trust. The achievement of the objectives and activities can be seen in section 4. Achievements and Performance.

The museum works with a wide range partners to achieve these aims from local community groups and artists to nationally profiled artists and bodies bringing them into the Cynon Valley to the benefit of the local community.

Public benefit

The Cynon Valley Museum Trust provide an accessible, interactive and sustainable space to share and celebrate the heritage, arts and culture of the Cynon Valley, the community we represent.

During the accounting period CVMT continues to build on our established position within the community by providing a physical and digital centre for heritage, arts and culture in a space that is accessible to the entire Cynon community physically and digitally. This can be seen in the work to provide two exhibition spaces and a digital gallery, rooms for community use, a permanent historical gallery and online digital space for Cynon history, use of the museum for CVMT and external events and dedicated and well-resourced website. The museum further supports the local economy and cultural sector supporting volunteers, local artists, artisans and crafts people to sell, provide a space to exhibit and a vibrant cultural attraction to benefit of Aberdare and the wider environs of the Cynon Valley.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievement and Performance

Working in Partnership

The CVMT works closely with a number of local organisations and embeds community participation across its activities.

Cynon Valley Museum Online

In the previous financial year, we reported that CVM’s online engagement had risen by 628% as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. With the success of our online presence, we have continued to build on this making our digital presence a cornerstone in our offer to the public.

The museum still offers two main streams for digital engagement:

Digital Donations

CVMT has installed a contactless card-payments “donation box” within our reception area, offering an alternative to cash donations.

Grant funding was also received in the year as follows:

Interlink RCT “Small Grant” - £500

RCT CBC “Neighbourhood Network Fund” - £1,000

Welsh Government “Cost of Living” - £10,000

RCT CBC “Shared Propsperity Fund – Round 1” - £13,643

Financial Review

Policy on reserves

CVMT’s Reserves Policy has been established to guide CVMT on the continued maintenance of a reserve that is equal or more than 6 months of operating costs. The minimum of £33,700.

This policy is intended to outline the use of reserves – in two significant cases (below) they must be utilised. Other uses of reserves can be decided by the Board of Trustees on an ad hoc basis.

1. Unanticipated expenditure or loss of income

If the CVMT finds itself losing a significant income stream, e.g. closure of the café, temporary closure of galleries, reserves can be utilised to allow the Museum to operate until the situation is resolved, or other sources of income can be identified.

2. Winding up of the charity

In the case where the CVMT decides to wind up and close the charity, reserves should be used to ensure debts are paid, including staff. In these circumstances, the Museum Manager would take a central role in the winding up.

3. Other uses of reserves

Use of reserves which fall outside of these circumstances, for example, investment in capital, or match funding for a grant application, are permitted but must be made at a Full Board meeting and clear steps should be outlined about how the CVMT will reimburse the reserves following the expenditure. At no point in time should 100% of the reserves held be used for functions other than the two outlined above.

Plans for future periods

Recognising that there was a pressing need to secure long-term funding, the Board commissioned the services of Headland Design. To work with a special projects task force on securing the Pen Y Cymoedd bid. This task force is made up of 3 Trustees and representatives from the consultancy. It has become apparent over time that CVM’s boiler system is failing rapidly so an application is being made to the Welsh Governments Transformation Grant.

The Museum facilitator had been able to source a series of small grants to allow individual projects to be run throughout the forthcoming financial year. This will help to ensure that CVM offers a fresh and up to date service to the community.

The Museum plans to continue using the accrual system of accounting and intends to continue using the financial monitoring procedures to report on grant spending and income increasing the museums financial management capacity.

During the financial year CVM worked with Mari Arthur Marketing, commissioning them to create a new 5 year business plan. The Board of Trustees are working on finalising this 5 year plan with the intention that it will be adopted in early 2023; this plan will be a robust working document and will be operational for the following 5 years.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) and is controlled by its constitution dated 5 September 2014.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Trustees are recruited through word of mouth and advertising when a skills gap or vacancy arises.Training is reviewed periodically and courses sourced where appropriate, trustee training is monitored as part of regular governance reviews by CVMT officers.

Each prospective trustee meets two new trustees and the manager to talk about the trust and their reasoning behind joining; subsequently the prospective trustee’s CV are provided to each current board member for consideration at the next board meeting.

Once that is approved the prospective trustee is invited to come to a board meeting to observe, should that trustee then accept the offer to join the board they will receive an induction pack containing forms and policies and procedures. This pack will also contain all the relevant Service Level Agreements, Grant forms and Licences with third parties.

Organisational structure

The charity is governed by an established constitution which is supplemented by a five-year business plan. This plan is currently being reviewed by the Board of Trustees. Its mission statement is to: provide an accessible, interactive and sustainable space to share and celebrate the heritage, arts and culture of the Cynon Valley.

The Cynon Valley Museum is managed by a board of Trustees, this trustee board has two officers (a Chairperson and Secretary) these are appointed at our Annual General Meeting. The CVMT continued through the financial year with the core team unchanging composed of the Museum Manager, Museum Co-ordinator, Fundraising Officer and Museum Assistant. Since restrictions have been lifted post-COVID the volunteer numbers have increased to somewhere around where they were pre-pandemic.

The board currently operates with two sub-committees; Operational Sub-Committee deals with all aspects of the operation of the museum, from staff to structural issues. Finance sub-committee is responsible for overseeing the finances for the trust, this includes grant funding and income from other sources. Ad hoc sub committees and task and finish groups are sometimes used where a particular need arises, in these instances records are kept of meetings and decisions made.

The trustees have a risk register in place which is monitored on a regular basis. These risks are reviewed by a designated trustee and are acted upon. Systems are put in place to mitigate these risks.

Strategic decisions are made by the board of trustees at a monthly meeting, these meetings are minuted and recorded for future reference. The Chair has some delegated responsibility to make major decisions that are time sensitive, these decisions must be fed back to the board at the earliest opportunity.

Staff members have operational decision-making powers with latitude to carry out all day-to-day decisions in order for the museum to be fully operational. This is managed within the framework of CVMT policies demonstrating the situations where staff are able to make decisions and where decisions must be deferred to the board of trustees.

CYNON VALLEY MUSEUM TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT

The trust has built a strong bond within not only the local community but also in the historic and third sector community. Our work has been used as case studies for best practice and heralded as positive and ambitious, for example case studies of the museums work to build partnerships and utilise the space for local communities.

CVMT has maintained a good relationship with our funders including Pen Y Cymoedd, Welsh Museums Federation, Association of Independent Museums and MALD.

Relationships with related parties

• CVMT has a Memorandum of Understanding with other local organisations, including the Cynon Linc Project and St Elvan’s Community Heritage Project, focussed on marketing and shared room hire.

• CVMT works with a number of partnerships with other local museums, such as:

• Pontypridd Museum and the Welsh Mining Experience at Rhondda Heritage Park, to organise joint events or signpost to each other’s organisations.

Major risks and management of those risks

CYNON VALLEY MUSEUM TRUST

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Cynon Valley Museum Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Changes in accounting policy

The accounting policy of the accruals basis has been adopted for these accounts and the comparatives recalculated from the cash basis.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Page 11

CYNON VALLEY MUSEUM TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. Government grants Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £150.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Property Improvements Over the term of the lease 10 Years
Computer and office Equipment 3 years S/L and 5 years S/L
Fixtures & Fittings 3 years S/L

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Page 12

CYNON VALLEY MUSEUM TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Trade creditors

are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. They are recognised initially at the transaction price.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
