14 South Street, Great Torrington, Devon, EX38 8AA Tel: 01805 938008 email:enquiries@torringtonmuseum.org.uk ## Chair Of Trustees’ Annual Report 2025 Our key presentations this year revolved around VE Day. We offered visitors of all ages a chance to try on original wartime clothing and uniform, and sounded our air raid siren in the town square to mark the beginning and end of the two minutes’ silence. New research around the anniversary led to some significant new knowledge about Torrington’s three Home Guard units and a local war hero. In September we were part of the national Heritage Open Days and presented a display based around the award-winning Torrington Castle archaeology project. The trustees note that the heritage sector has been significantly impacted by rising costs and that volunteerism has also been impacted. There have been a number of days when it has been impossible to open because of a lack of available volunteers. David Gibbons MInstLM, MA, BA(Hons) Chair of Trustees. Great Torrington Heritage Museum and Archive is a Community Interest Organisation registered at the Charity Commission #1166793 ## **Precept Summaries** |**2023**|**-**|**2024**|**Opening Balance**|£89,691.94|**2023 -2024 Income**|£6,529.84| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**2023**|**-**|**2024**|**Closing Balance**|£85,025.09|**2023-2024 Expenditure**|£10,243.85| |||||||| ||||**Diference:**|£4,666.85|**Net:**|-£3,714.01| |||||||| |**2024**|**-**|**2025**|**Opening Balance**|£85,025.09|**2024 -2025 Income**|£1,574.88| |**2024**|**-**|**2025**|**Closing Balance**|£61,050.01|**2024-2025 Expenditure**|£25,423.46| |||||||| ||||**Diference:**|£23,975.08|**Net:**|-£23,848.58| |||||||| £952.84 £126.50 **Year 2021-2022** |Utlites
