Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To advance the education of the public by the establishment and maintenance of a museum for items of historical and archaeological interest, archives, photographs, flora and fauna, arts and crafts especially those relating to Combe Martin and the surrounding area.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The museum is manned by volunteers and at present opening hours are Monday 10.30 to 1.30pm, Tuesday to Friday 11 to 2pm. These hours have been in place since the Covid Pandemic and plans are in hand to try to increase these through the summer as we recruit more volunteers. The museum has been run solely by volunteers since April 2024. School visits, Seashore Safaris, Child Art & Crafts, Workshops, & Coffee Mornings have all now been re-instated.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The Trustees report that the public access to the museum has continued throughout the year apart from a period from November to mid February when it was felt that the footfall did not warrant opening up.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The museum is now run and manned by volunteers. The regular activities that took place pre-Covid have now been fully re-instated and there is a committee who regularly meet to arrange new activities to socially benefit the surrounding communities along with helping to raise much needed funds in order to meet the expenses involved with keeping the museum open. Recruitment of volunteers continues on with new volunteer numbers gradually increasing.
