Patch roof repairs have been part of an annual cycle undertaken by our maintenance team to resolve water ingress. The general build quality of the buildings, the curtilage, and M&E infrastructure have required year on year investment to address the deteriorating conditions of the entire site. In 2023 the Trustees provided significant funds for the commission of specialist contractors and professionals to support the Charity in its submission of an application for a replacement roof from the Museum Estate and Development Fund administered by Arts Council England. The application is to replace and insulate the roofs of the museum building. The Expression of Interest was SLJbmitted 21 April 2023 and the full Application on 18th August 2023. A decision to award funding will be announced in March 2024. ill Refurbishment of Garden Fern House Work on the fernery took place over the winter with help f rom Kent County Council Adult Services service users, who helped sand and oil wood and paint metalwork, as well as painting the interior5. iiil Garden back area, bothvs and polytunnel Major work took place to landscape the area at the back of the historSc walled garden.

The Powell-cotton Trust Trustee's Annual Report For year ended 31 March 2023 bl Conservatlon, storage and malntenance of the collettions tj The Collections Storage Project The whole collection was adversely affected due to COVID and the long-term closure of the site. With a building that is not environmentally stable and is impacted by external weather conditions the lack of airflow and staff presence to check the collection regularly led to several outbreak5 of mould and damp, especially in the gallery storage areas. The new ConseNator developed and began implementation of a programme of object cleaning to break the mould cycle but determined the size and scope of the problem and the fact that it is escalating meant that little progress was being made. The Collectlons Store Prolert began in January 2023 when the Board of Trustees released £IOO,000 in extra funds to address this collection care crisis. The project focuses on the two areas of the collection judged to be at greatest risk, horned skeletons from Store A where there is a carpet ljeetle infestation,. and the ethnographic artefacts stored in cupboards in the galleries 5,7, and 8 that are suffering from mould. The skulls are being labelled and bagged, then removed from store A into an industrial freezer hired for the purpose. They are frozen for 72 hours and then taken to the new store where they are put into thelr permanent locations. The second phase will focus on the ethnographic material that has mould. These will he frozen and then cleaned before being taken to the new store. Some preparatory work has been done for this phase including the construction of a cleaning area, refitting a shed as a documentation station, and purchasing of suitable PPE. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 11 Review of actlvities a) Implementatlon of our Decolonisation Strategy il Namibian Narratives Funded by Arts Council England.

They met with each of the specialist maker5, discussed the M u5eum'5 historic collection and asked each of the women how they would like to see their community and work represented in the Powell-cotton Museum. Each of the women was interviewed on film, and these films form part of a new permanent display that showcases contemporary culture and experiences from the African continent for the first time in decades. ill Headley Fellowship and Collections Trust Award Funded by the ArtFund'5 Headley Fellowship, freelancer Kathleen Lawther worked with the museum to research and catalogue a collection of photographs taken in Somala in 1934 to 1935 with the aim of making the collection more acce55ible. The project provided suggestions and case studies for how museums might approach people- centered cataloguing. This project won the 2022 'Collections Trust Award, recognising the achievements of those who manage the collections at the heart of all museums. The resulting exhibition 'Llving Llneages.. Bajuni Ilves in the Powell-cotton Museum photographic archive, is co-curated by Abira Hussein, Faiz Shee and Kathleen Lawther. It shows images of Bajuni people that lived off the coast of Somalia and northern Kenya
The Powell-cotton Trust Trustee's Annual Report For year ended 31 March 2023 and explores how a team of researchers traced the origin5 of Bajuni people from the 1930s, offering new ways of interpreting Britain's colonial archives. It will be on display at the museum throughout 2023. iiil Staff Training The Charity has developed a training programme for all staff that looks at unconscious bias, racism within museum practice and the collecting process, and how museums can be active spaces and voices in telling everyone's storie5, better. All staff - regardless of whether they work with visitors or not- will receive the same training. We hope our Staff will feel more confident in talking to visitors about sensitive and compllcated issues, and we hope visitor5 will experience a more open and honest museum experience. b) Afflliated/collaborative research projects il From Feed the Birds to Do Not Feed the Animals This UK-wlde collaboration takes a deep-time, cross-cultural perspective on the roots of animal feeding, to establish the benef its and risk to humans, animals, and the environment. This project is funded by the Wellcome Trust and brings together the unlversities of Exeter, Roehampton, and Reading alongside National Museum5 Scotland. Funded by Exeter University and Roehampton University, this project uses museum collections and live zoological collections to examine the history of animal feeding in captive and wild population5. The Powell-cotton Museum is a small partner organisation through its big cat collection, which is of interest because of its historical data, as a counterpolnt to live captive animal populations. Curator of Natural History, Rachel Jennings is a member of the research network for the project. Outputs include a 3D scan of the dioramas on slte here at the Museum by staff from Exeter University. The project will benefit the Charity in the next year with a 12 month post-doc support to do some collections cataloguing. ill Horn Heritage Project htt www.hornherita e.or Horn Heritage Foundation is a non-profit, apolitical organisation dedicated at preserving the cultural heritage of the Horn of Africa, with focus on the Somali speaking-region.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 11 Key financlal performance indicatois The Powell-cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens is transitioning through a complex period of change and growth as a result of the museum becoming entitled to a substantial legacy in the form of a fifty percent share in the Powell-cotton Settled Estate. This will enable substantial growth and expansion of the charity. A new strategic departmental plan has been devised by the Trustees in collaboration with staff, volunteers and stakeholders. As a result of the new income stream from the legacy, combined with operational changes, the long- standing operating deficit of the Charity will end. The settlement of the estate is yet to be resolved. In December 2022 the administrators of the e5t8te, together with the beneficiaries attended a Court hearing which provided a determination on how the estate should be vested. However, an appeal was lodged by the other beneficiary and leave for appeal was granted, an appeal hearing will happen in due course. We continue to deliver on our stated objective5 Uslng a combination of our reserves, limited income from the Quex Estate and some limited funds that the administrators have released, 21 Statement of financial actlvlties The Trustees have taken the strategic decision to support the transformational change process through investment from charity reserves. This has included the following key decisions.. al Investment from charity reserves in preparing for the vesting of the former Powell-cotton Settled Estate, including taking independent profe55ional legal and accountancy advice, appointment of Strutt & Parkers land agents to provide due diligence report, management advice and to improve management practice. These works have been commissioned by the Trustees to ensure that they are ready forvesting, to improve the quality of the management of the former Powell-cotton Settled Estate to understand and fulfil their fiduciary duties and to mitigate any identif led risks associated with their inheritance of the undivided half share of the former Settled Estate. bl Investment into Museum House and Gardens by way of a structured cyclical maintenance programme following years of underinvestment.

At 31 March 2023, Unrestricted Fund5 amounted to £4,894,018 including £210,282 cash and Investments £2,300,791. The level of reserve5 was 5ub5tantially enhanced due to some of the liquid assets of the estate, which are not subject to the appeal, being distributed by the administrators. Three months ongoing operating cost is approximately £350k and is well within the reserves held by the charity. Under ordinary circumstances the trustees would look to release a significant proportion of the reserves to deliver the charitable objectives, however given the current situation regarding the outcome of the settlement of the estate inheritance, the trustees are holding and using the reserves to maintain the charity until the estate has been vested and it is in a posltion to become self-sustaining. 61 Going concern After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustee5 have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further deta115 regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the AccountinE Policies. The Trustees are of the oplnion that sufficient funds are available to meet future obligations,

Explanatlon a5 to what extent the audlt was considered capable of delectlng Irregularities, includlng fraud IrregularilFes, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, oullined above, lo delecl material misslalements in resp1 of irregularities, inGluding fraud. The exlenl lo which our procedures are capable of delecling ilregularilies, including fraud is detailed below. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are., lo identify and assess the risks of material misslalemenl of the financial slalemenls due lo fraud., lo obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misslalement due to fraud, through designing and implemtrnling 8ppropiiale responses lo those assessed iisks,. and to respond approprial8ly lo instanS of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud res15 with both management and those Gharged with governance ol the charitable company. Our approach was as follows.. We obtained an understanding ol the legal and regulatory requirements applicable lo the charitable company and considered that the most signifi¢anl are the Companies Act 2008, the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with goVernall. We assessed the rlsk of material misslalemenl of the financial slalemenls, including the risk of matérial misslateFnenl due lo fraud and how il might occur. by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance. We inquired of management and those charged with governan as lo any known inslanc8s of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this understanding, we deslgned specific appropriate audit procedures lo identify instances of non-complian with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of 12
management and those charged with governan and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described al)ove. We are less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that ale nol closely related lo events and Iransa¢lions reflected in tha financial slalemenls. Also, the risk of not delecling a material rnisstatemenl due to fraud is higher than Ihe risk of not delecling one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresenlalions, or through collusion.
