Trustees' Annual Report and accounts
The period of this account is still dominated by Covid restrictions which has resulted in a suspension of archaeological activities as no field work was possible. However, negotiations have started to find a permanent home for the tapestry within another ancient charitable foundation in York.
During the lull in fieldwork, many reports have been prepared on the work already undertaken and are in the process of being published. This has promoted interest within the academic community which resulted in some experiments and that in turn led to an invitation to apply for significant funding to continue the work, which has been successful. Such work is not being undertaken by the charity but is using material collected and some resources owned by the charity. It does not therefore result in income or expenditure for the charity.
A programme of online talks and even two public events were successful, one organised by English Heritage. So the charitable purposes have nevertheless been maintained and plans laid to assist two new groups as well as to carry out further work. Once again these activities did not result in any income or expenditure by the charity.
One project that remains the focus of the Charity’s activity which is to provide an interpretive trail for the public although the early proposals were not adopted, another meeting by the local authority has been scheduled by them.
None of this has involved the raising or spending of charitable funds despite all of the activity. Rather than producing a complex income and expenditure statement this simple expression is provided. None of the limited assets of the charity have been sold. (The store was broken into but nothing was taken.)
