The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 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 published in October 2019. Page 2 ## **Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives, aims and significant activities** Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust (BMHT) was formed and registered as a Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 18 November 2015. It was founded as a fundraising charity to help preserve, enhance and champion the South Yorkshire town's Heritage for the future. The Trust is managed by a voluntary independent board of community champions as trustees. It aims to generate funds and support from individuals, businesses and organisations to safeguard the future of Barnsley's museums, as a source of learning, curiosity, inspiration and enjoyment for all. The Trust raises funds and support for five free-entry visitor attractions in South Yorkshire: Experience Barnsley, Cannon Hall Museum Park & Gardens, Worsbrough Mill and Country Park, The Cooper Gallery, and Elsecar Heritage Centre. These attractions are managed by Barnsley Museums Arts and Heritage team within Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. Together the attractions welcomed 1.2 million visitors in this accounting period. ## **Measuring success** Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust has enjoyed another successful year of fundraising, generating funds of more than £200,000 to help further the great works of Barnsley Museums. We have continued to make the securing of Trusts and Foundations the focus of our fundraising but have further developed other funding schemes as well. ## **Achievement and Performance/What have we supported** ## Trusts and Foundations This has been another successful year for the Trust, having secured funding from Trusts and Foundations of £90,546. This reflects a period of reassessment and planning by Barnsley Museums after a change in the senior leadership team. Some of these applications were made on behalf of Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, so the funds were paid directly to them. An Arts Council bid on behalf of Barnsley Children's Services for £65,046 was successful. This was to fund the Fusion Festival of Joy, inspiring primary school children to be creative. Next Big Thing creative sessions with young adults with intersectional barriers to education issues and creative and mindfulness sessions with the Mindful Connections groups of older people continued throughout the year thanks to ongoing funding of £2,200 per group from Creative Minds. . £20,000 was awarded to the Learning Team thanks to a grant from Garfield Weston to assist with core costs. A Shawlands Trust grant of £1,000 (applied for on behalf of The Cooper Trustees) was awarded for the conservation of 'Still Life, Flowers in Vases' by Val Robinson and a further one of £850 applied for as BMHT for the conservation of 'Girl in a Dressing Gown' by Rose Hilton. Additional funding of £10,000 was received from Historic England to carry out further activity in the Know Your Neighbourhood project to reduce loneliness and isolation. The Asda Foundation granted £2,000 for tools, materials and equipment for use by the Opening Doors volunteer group at Worsbrough. £1,500 from Cash for Kids provided toys and costumes at Experience Barnsley which enhanced the Stories of Childhood exhibition. ## **Fund Matching** Fund matching amounts were awarded for the following projects: £5,000 for the Arts Council Fusion application through Barnsley Children's Services, £5,000 for the National Lottery Heritage Fund Building Bridges project at Elsecar and £6,250 for the National Lottery Heritage Fund Millennium of Milling project at Worsbrough Mill. ## **Corporate Support** Page 3 ## **Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** The partnership between the Trust and Barnsley College continues to thrive and we worked closely with them to ensure that as many college students as possible gained the opportunity of working alongside Museum staff. This partnership is worth £5,000 each year to the Trust. ## **Collections Fund** The Collections Fund set up by the Trust has continued to provide valuable assistance to the museum service with acquisitions and conservation. The Trust has made available monies from the Collections Fund to enable the following items to be purchased: - an opportunity to represent more recent history with an Iraq War medal awarded to Pte Spivey of Barnsley, complete with original box. - A colourised drawing depicting England's worst ever mining disaster, the Barnsley Oaks disaster. - an original 1980's tour poster of the Barnsley based heavy metal band, Saxon. ## **Conservation** £13,250 has been made available to conserve items in the museum collection, including a painting of Cawthorne Church, Departure for the Chase by Schellinks, portraits of Lord and Lady Goodworth (donated by Caroline McIntyre), some plaster mouldings from Woodhouse Hall Farm and a fairground horse on display in Experience Barnsley. It also provided a new display case for Little John's Bow at Cannon Hall, research into the Cooper collection and some condition surveys for paintings in the Cooper collection. Other donations We have continued to support the Fusion partnership in Barnsley which aims to bring the best of local arts and culture to all children and young people in the borough with a donation of £7,500 towards the Artsmart scheme which aims to embed arts, culture and creativity into the school curriculum, and £4,500 to fund a further Takeover Day at Cannon Hall for a different primary school. £4,000 was made available to fund the volunteer co-ordinator at Cannon Hall whilst we awaited the decision for a funding bid. ## **Other Fundraising Streams** A fundraising campaign to raise funds to fix the mill shaft at Worsbrough was extremely successful, securing £46,618. On-site donations increased, totalling £26,397 for the year, providing valuable unrestricted income and Gift Aid donations. Easyfundraising is promoted to our followers as a way to raise funds as they shop, and we continue to sell animal adoption packs, often as gifts. New tenants for Cannon Hall cottages were secured and took up residence in December 2024. The rental income received is a vital resource for conservation at Cannon Hall. The Celebration Tree at Cannon Hall continues to provide regular monthly income, with 28 pears on the tree at the end of this financial year, generating an annual income of £3,360. Two memorial trees were planted at Worsbrough, raising £190 for the Trust. ## **Private viewing** BMHT hosted the private viewing of the high-profile Costumes from the Classics exhibition at Cannon Hall in May 2024. This provided the opportunity to both thank existing supporters and donors and the opportunity to raise the profile of the Trust and encourage further donations. ## **FUTURE PLANS** We are looking forward to 25/26 which will be the 10th anniversary year of the Trust, and we plan to host celebratory events to mark the occasion as well as producing an impact report highlighting what we have achieved in that time. Page 4 ## **Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** We will continue to manage our existing volunteer projects, whilst actively seeking out new funding opportunities to continue volunteer activities, particularly for the Opening Doors group at Worsbrough Mill and for indoor volunteering throughout winter at Cannon Hall. With further funding from Historic England, we will continue to run our Know Your Neighbourhood programme of events to help those who are lonely and isolated. Our Collections fund will continue to support the acquisition of new items for the collection and the conservation of those items already in the collection. We want to develop individual giving further by installing new contactless machines at the museum sites and to refresh the fundraising training for the VSA's. We would also like to develop our corporate giving. All these means will give us the vital unrestricted income that we need. ## **David Exley, Chair of Trustees** said: 'Despite the challenges presented by changes of personnel, both at Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust and Barnsley Museums, we have had another successful year of fundraising. This has been achieved by continuing with the grant application programme which has been supplemented by the additional fundraising activities that have been developed. Whilst the staffing changes at the museum have resulted in a period of reassessment, we continue to give valuable support to both the Museums Service and to the people of Barnsley and are grateful to our supporters, donors, patrons, Trustees and volunteers who make it all possible. This ensures that our work can continue, thereby safeguarding Barnsley's heritage for generations to come. We are very much looking forward to our 10th Anniversary year in 2025, which will give us the opportunity to reflect upon and celebrate what we have achieved since 2015.' ## **Public benefit** The charity trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** From 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 the Trust recorded income totalling £126,953 and costs totalling £141,381. Closing reserves are £210,080, of which £124,959 are restricted. The reserves policy has been altered to reduce the amount of minimum funds held in reserve to £5,000 which will continue to be reviewed as necessary. Page 5 ## **Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The Trustees and BMHT patrons have been actively championing heritage in Barnsley throughout the year.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 20 January 2026 and signed on its behalf by: ................................................................. Mr D Exley - Trustee Page 6 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn. We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. In connection with my examination, no other matter except that referred to in the previous paragraph has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Mr D Exley - Trustee The notes form part of these financial statements Page 9 ## **Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** The presentation and functional currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective from 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. The financial statements have been prepared to give a true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following Account and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective from 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. ## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** No significant judgements or estimates have had to be made by the trustees in preparing these financial statements other than as described in the following accounting policies. ## **Income and debtors** All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Membership subscriptions received are for an annual subscription in advance. The subscription income is recognised the Statement of Financial Activities on a monthly straight line basis, and subscription amounts apportioned to the following year are shown within accruals and deferred income in the balance sheet. Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. Donations are recognised on a receivable basis where receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid relating to prior years at the balance sheet date. ## **Expenditure and liabilities** Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. Page 10 continued... ## **Barnsley Museums and Heritage Trust** ## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** ## **Fund accounting and reserves policy** Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. ## **Going concern** The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, this they continue to adopt the going concern basis of account in preparing the financial statements. ## **2.
