GROMVVELL MUSEUM TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
On 1 March 2020 the Cromwell Museum reopened after a £170,000 refurbishment, the fir51 major overhaul of its
perrnanent displays in over 30 years, to great acclaim. Within week5 we were then forced lo close again as the
UK shut down under the impact ol the Covid-19 Pandemic. This created an imrnediate fi'nancial challenge for the
Museum Trust after being closèd for sevèral rnnnth4 %q well as hugé disappointment that visitors wgrg unable to
benefit from all the hard work that had gone into the new displays as the country went into lockdown.
In many respects the remtsindcr of tho ycor proved equelly frustrating, with the Museum being only opeii foi LIT¥
equivalent of 4 rnonlhs over the year due to further lockdown5 restricting in-person visitor access lo our displays,
and Covid-precaulioii& liiiiitiiiy Vibltor nuThbe15 anoj Ilve engagemenr a¢iiwiies. In oiners. It proved to be
something ol a revelation, fostering Increased fundra.'sing, new ways of working and ac¢eleralino online activity
ano ￿lgItal engagement. 11 therefore turned out lo be a year that generated some very different successes,
which be best illustrated by three different case studies.
Surviving the Pendemie- Fundraising
The Museum closed for refurbishment at the end of Septernber 2019, and although some a¢tivilies continued
and a small tèrnporary display was maintained in Huntingdon Town Hall, income was considerably down
compared to norm81. This had been accepted by the Trust, with the expe¢tation that there would be a surge in
visitors when the Museum reopened in the Spring of 2020.
Tne Museum reopenè¢ In March. but then had to close just over 2 weeks later when the first national lockdown
look effect from 17 March. This created a huge challenge for the Trust in regarding incomp GpngrAlly. 8nd Cash
ffow particularly. as the final payments for the refurbishment were being processed, and the usual sources of
visitor ineorne dried up ttv>might
To car•fully manago thè tsituation, regarding finHnce8 but also to the uncertain situation rnore generally, ¢iiid lu
provide support in this stressful lime to the Trust's single member o15taff, an Exe¢Lrtive Committee of Trustees
was created that could ￿SpOnd quiikly tu rjlly bilualion and rnake key oecisions. This provea io De Inv8lu8ble for
all conGerned and ensured that cash-flow never reached a crisis point, as well as overseeing fundraising and
looking forward towards reopening the Museum safely once circumstances allowed. A 1Secision was taken earty
on not to furlough the Curator, which would have been contractually diffscull given the payroll arrangements with
Huntingdon Town Council, bul also would have removed the capaeity for applw'ng for grants and financial
8UPPOrt. This made us very responsive to the changing situation, and able to fundraise much more effectively.
The funiys we raised, details of which Can be found about under our objectives. have not only allowed the
Museum lo survive these unique and testing circumstances. but to look ahead with more confidence.
Cromwell Onlinfj- Going Digital During Covid
A5 for rnany peoplv, LJiyil¢il terhnology. Ihe abllty to ¢ornrnunicate oniifte Mas been a lifesaver during the
pandernic. It has also let to a step change in our abilty to engage more widely with much larger and wider
auoiences, somerhing we had planned lo do but had lo accelerate due lo the clrcurnstsn￿s.
Our initial Concern was to ulilize video conferencing internally. lo allow staff an(J Iiustees to meet during
lockdown and manage that very difficult situation. It 81so enabled us to keep in communication with our
volunteers, SUPPOrt them during lockdown and involve them in planning for reopening. The reopening strategies
were so successful that W8 were asked to share them digitally by the Association of
Independent Museurns with other museurns across the UK digitally. as an exemplar of how to manag6 the
situation effectively.
Once we had stabilised our situation intemally, our next priority wa5 to continue lo engage with our aUdIen￿S.
Initially this was done through our existing social media channe15 Wlth additional content and posts through
Facebook and Twitter. The purchase ot improved technology thanks lo the ini1181 Art Council grant enabled us lo
start ¢rtsaling video conlenl for a new YouTube ch2nnp.l The.se includéd videog on asp•cts of Crornwell'È life,
features on objects from the Museum'5 collections and interviews with noted hisl¢ri8ns recorded via Zoorn. By

Lorraine M. Visfcor, TripAdvisor Review
With the Covid-19 restrictions in pla￿ throughout 2020-21 and with being only open for 4 months. we were only
able lo stsge 1 lernporary exhibition in this financial year. to commemorste the Battle of Hijntingdnn in Aiigust
1645. This ran through the opening period July- O¢tober in the Museum.
The use ol Zoom also 811owed us to provide online talks and lectures. Initially these ￿questS came from loul
groups, clubs and 60¢ietie- whieh wished to continue their u•ual pro9ramtne5 online during Iliv Pdiid¥[iii￿, with
our curator delivering sessions to 13 different groups or organisations. These were not just in the locality but
included a talk on Cromwell's contioversi81 campaign in Ireland for an Irish communty heritage organization wth
attendees from across Eire. The use of this technology also enabled us to deliver our winter lecture progr8mrre3
online. with 4 speakers in different Parts of the UK, wfih over 700 attendees across them all from across Britain,
Ireland, Europe. the USA and even Australia. This allowed us a rnuch greater reach and doubled the level of
income from this prograrnrne, a rnodel we will continue.

away, lirniting their visrts into the town purely lo their shopping. M051 visitors were theielore UK-wide tourists who
were taking the opportunity lo have a 'staycation' over the sumrner.
