## **CHAIR’S REPORT** 

## **Mary Compton-Rickett** 

At the beginning of our year both sites were still operating under Covid restrictions, limiting numbers of visitors and therefore events, and the Refectory at the Priory remained closed. By the end of our year rules had relaxed sufficiently to allow many events to occur both at the Williamson and at the Priory and regular much loved annual events, such as the Oxton Artists’ winter weekend, had taken place at the Williamson. The very popular Ladybird Exhibition and Emma Rodgers’ wonderful Wunderkammer exhibition gave a buzz to the galleries during the summer months. This had been preceded by the fascinating exhibition over two sites, Williamson and Birkenhead Library, about Birkenhead’s Argyle Theatre. This was the inspiration of and curated by Cathy Warren, who has played such a big part in the life of the Williamson over many years. Well done Cathy, another triumph. 

The summer also marked the formal retirement of Colin Simpson, our much loved Director and Curator for nearly 40 years. His request for a departure without fanfare was entirely ignored by staff and Friends and thanks to the huge generosity of individual Friends, we were able to give Colin a piece of sculpture made especially for him by Emma Rodgers. 

We continued to send out a monthly newsletter to Friends and were able obtain a good discount in the café; it has been good to see the numbers of café customers rise again. 

Funds held by Friends paid for Emma Rodgers’ sculpture now placed in the Green Gallery and we were able to help Niall Hodson, our new Curator, make an important purchase of Della Robbia pottery for the gallery. Jane, our treasurer, and her team have continued to care for the Green Gallery garden. Through his interest in Della Robbia pottery, we were lucky enough to be introduced to Steve Groves. He agreed to take on the role of membership secretary and has brought an enthusiasm and fresh eye to the role.

The other activities of the Friends have been slower to restart. Our outside trips proved harder to re-instate. Coach travel remained unattractive to some and too expensive on low numbers. The Sunday Serenades, once a staple in the Williamson summer programme, could not take place. The Williamson remained closed on Sunday, as it still does, and discussions have taken place about other options, such as evening concerts. Our year ended without resolution on this topic, but discussions are still ongoing and include the possibility of some taking place at the Priory. It is good that smaller music events have taken place regularly, especially on Fridays and in the Green Gallery. 


The Williamson has put on art classes and workshops for children over the years. This has proved increasingly harder to fund as the tightening of purse strings restricts the ancillary activities of the gallery’s main business. The Friends were asked to help out when funding dried up and we agreed to fund the regular workshops for a while. Towards the end of our

year, it was felt that this was not sustainable long term and the decision was taken not to renew the agreement with the gallery and instead we offered to support the artist in any funding applications. This offer was accepted and applications are currently being made with our help and support. I am aware that some members have been unhappy that this has resulted in a gap in the provision of these workshops and have expressed those views, some more vociferously than others. I understand this disappointment and I think it is important to remember that the Friends do not exist to independently run activities and provide services at either the Williamson or the Priory, but principally to support the Museum Service. I am hoping that creative solutions can be found. 



**5** 

Whilst it is true that children’s activities at the Williamson are currently limited outside the school parties, it is important and heartening to note that some excellent children’s workshops and courses have taken place at the Priory. Anyone who attends the public events such as the fairs there, are likely to see children gathered round a table engaged in the act of creating and having fun.

## **TREASURER’S REPORT** 

## **Jane Horton** 

All our income last year came from membership subscriptions and donations to the Gallery and to the Priory. 

The bank now charges £15 per month to maintain our accounts. They also charge 40p per cheque deposited and 0.4% of cash deposited. We can minimise our cost of banking by using lower cost electronic transactions e.g. card acceptance, electronic payments and mobile cheque deposits. We are currently pursuing these. 

This year we provided for drop-in workshops and we now provide free wine for all the first night previews. 

The Priory volunteers replenished the stock for the shop and continued to maintain the Priory gardens. 

We were able to contribute to the purchase of the Della Robbia plate and to provide the sculpture in the Green Gallery Garden. Thanks to generous donations from the friends we also were able to purchase the sculpture for Colin’s retirement gift. 

We very much appreciate the ongoing commitment of Friends which enables us to stay financially viable and to offer help to the gallery to provide workshops and community events. 

The following table shows a summary of the accounts. If you would like a copy of the full report please request one from the treasurer at friends@williamsonartgallery.org

## **MEMBERSHIP** 

## **Steve Groves** 

The Friends had 447 members at the end of 2022, raising £4320 in membership fees. Approximately 85 of these were new members, offsetting the 45 members from 2021 who did not renew their membership. 

281 members (63%) paid by bank transfer, the rest with cash or by cheque. 

391 members (87%) registered email addresses with us. 

75 members (17%) gave a donation on top of their membership fee. Many thanks to those members who thereby raised an additional £1,250, giving a total of £5,570 raised from membership fees and donations. 

Overall membership remains down on 2019 pre-pandemic numbers, when 550 members raised a total of around £6,400 in membership fees and donations. However, the number of members paying by bank transfer has increased since then (from around 45%), as has the number of members registering emails (from around 75%). 

## **Postcode distribution of members** 

|**Postcode distributon of members**||
|---|---|
|CH41, CH42 & CH43 - Local to the Gallery & Priory|48%|
|CH60 & CH48 - Deeside of the Wirral|14%|
|CH44 & CH45 - New Brighton & Wallasey|11%|



The remainder of members were spread across other Wirral postcodes. 6% were registered from outside the Wirral. 

## **Look ahead to 2023** 

In 2023, we are working to enable members to register and renew on-line, while retaining the paper / cash / cheque route for those members who prefer. We will also be making changes to the cost, structure and duration of Friends membership, to be outlined at the 2023 AGM. 

Finally, thanks must go to Jules Foster, at the Williamson, for administering the Friends membership over much of 2022, between the previous Membership Secretary and the current.

## **GREEN GALLERY** 

## **David Ainsley and Jane Horton** 


The Green Gallery Garden continues to mature and become an essential element of the Williamson. A group of volunteers from the Friends meets regularly to maintain the garden, weeding and replacing plants damaged by frost. The splendid sculpture by Emma Rodgers, funded by the Friends, has been installed. Together with some smaller sculptures tucked amongst the plants, this further enhances the concept of the courtyard as an outdoor gallery. Some outdoor musical performances took place and it is hoped that more will continue this year, and that the courtyard will continue to provide a quiet outdoor space within the Williamson. 

## **VISITS** 

## **Mike Studley** 

Visits to other galleries and visitor attractions were again suspended due to the aftermath of the pandemic and the lockdowns. However, the intention is to renew the trips in 2023 with visits to Port Sunlight, Norton Priory and Capesthorne Hall.

## **BIRKENHEAD PRIORY** 

## **Elaine Heritage** 


During the pandemic lockdown Birkenhead Priory waited serenely, having witnessed many plagues and wars during the last nine centuries. The Priory’s sandstone structure glistened in sunshine or rain, patiently awaiting the return of good friends and curious visitors. As doors and gates were re- 

opened, birdsong was replaced with enthusiastic members of the public, who understood how visitor numbers in various rooms had to be restricted to meet Covid safety regulations. They all said they would be back as soon as restrictions were removed. 

Slowly numbers of visitors returned to pre-pandemic levels, and more! The staff at the Priory had posted a photo-a-day with commentary to the Birkenhead Priory website and Facebook, keeping the public and friends in the Priory loop. 

By Easter ’22 families were flocking to the site to hunt eggs and complete a quiz which included wildlife and historic observation and enquiry. Parents were delighted by these activities and children engaged readily. Entrance is free to Birkenhead Priory, but donation boxes are available and people appreciated and contributed generously. 

Most visitors are struck by the peaceful atmosphere of this Scheduled Monument. Its quiet humility reflecting the lives of the Benedictine monks who built with bare hands and simple tools. The robust Norman arches inspiring awe in the Chapter House and amazement in the Undercroft Museum. 



**11** 

Queen Elizabeth II reigned for 70 years and her Jubilee was enthusiastically celebrated at the Priory with music, dance, arts and crafts enjoyed by thousands of visitors who picnicked on the lawns. The staff and volunteers were kept very busy, not least by answering questions about the history of the place. The stones watched on reflecting on the visits of kings and clergy through the centuries. 


The Conway Association opened its museum as often as volunteers could make it and council staff opened the Conway room upon special request from the public. The Conway Association had sent a letter of condolence to the Queen after the death of Prince Phillip and were honored with a reply from Buckingham Palace, which took pride of place. 

Many detailed plans and preparations went ahead for the “Nourish” fair. The weather intervened, and very high winds and rain wiped it out. The Priory stood firm, as did the staff and volunteers. 

Visitors from all over the world came 

_Image: Samantha Higgins_ 

specifically to see this Priory of St James & St Mary, while some Wirral residents discovered it for the first time, always promising to return now they have found this hidden gem. Staff and volunteers alike took organized groups or individuals on guided tours. Many have left wonderful comments in the visitor’s book. 

The staff worked hard to re-open the Priory. They have gradually added many other activities from “Crafternoons” for adults and children, to open-air yoga, and every opportunity is taken to bring music and art into this special place. They are ably assisted by a small team of knowledgeable and dedicated volunteers. 

The Priory is a Grade I listed building which puts it into the top 2.5% of historic monuments in the country! And it remains free to visit…

## **Financial review** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure.

This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

The charity members have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

## **WILLIAMSON AND PRIORY FRIENDS** 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE CHARITY MEMBERS OF WILLIAMSON AND PRIORY FRIENDS** 

I report to the charity members on my examination of the financial statements of Williamson and Priory Friends (the charity) for the year ended 31 October 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity members of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared 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 now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

**WILLIAMSON AND PRIORY FRIENDS** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Williamson and Priory Friends is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document],  the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements 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 the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the charity members have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the charity members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the charity members in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **WILLIAMSON AND PRIORY FRIENDS** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Resources expended during the year are categorised depending on the charitable activity for which they are incurred. These resources ensure the charity's continuous activity and can be subcategorised further between staffing costs and cost of materials, which are the most prominent resources expended. 

## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.7 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the charity members are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
