TRUSTEES' REPORT

The trustees present their combined trustees report and directors report and accounts for the year ended 31 July 2023

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the charity in the year under review was the operation of an industrial museum .

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity's objectives are to advance the education of the public by the maintenance of a museum containing a unique collection of working steam and diesel engines as well as examples of textile and transport technologies and exhibits reflecting the local industries of Nottinghamshire such as mining, railways, bicycles, motorcycles, lace, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, tobacco and printing. In shaping the objectives for the year and planning the activities, the Board has considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The Museum provides public benefit through a range of activities. The board wishes to thank all our volunteers for their support, without their continued support, the museum would be unable to function as a resource available to the public.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Nottingham Industrial Museum (NIM) is operated on an arm's length basis from Nottingham City Council by volunteers. The Charity NIM has operated as a company Limited by Guarantee since 31st May 2016 (Company number 09679802), registered in England and Wales. The Registered office of the Charity is The Courtyard, Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, Nottinghamshire, NG8 2AE. (Charity Number 1167388). The museum continues to be open to members of the public, in line with the Licence and Management agreement with Nottingham City Council. The museum has retained many existing volunteers and attracted new ones. Finances remain stable.

The board implemented many changes to improve local awareness of the museum, through social media and websites. We have introduced several initiatives and events to engage with the public and enhance their experience. The publication of a Museum Guidebook and Victorian Recipe book continues to be well received by Visitors.

During the year the museum welcomed 10,557 visitors and our volunteers worked for 12,731 hours.

The engineering team have continued to make good progress in repairing and maintaining the steam generator and pressure system. The Beam Engine has been overhauled and work has continued renovating the Barn Engine exhibits. Live Steaming days continue to attract significant numbers of visitors.

Extensive effort has been made by the Volunteers running the bric-a-brac charity shop which has again resulted in a significant increase in income.

The marketing team has worked extremely hard to increase the profile of the Industrial Museum through social media. We have vibrant Facebook and Instagram pages. We continue to receive positive feedback from the public on TripAdvisor, placing Nottingham Industrial Museum 2nd in the TripAdvisor list of things to do in Nottingham.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As at 31st July 2023, the Charity had £51,365 (2022 - £32,190) in the unrestricted fund, this increase arose due to a surplus being made during the year. £5,000 (2022 - £5,000) of unrestricted funds has been designated for future contingencies, see reserves policy. The charity's income from all sources amounted to £55,679 (2022 - £47,848), of this £nil (2022 - £nil) was in the form of restricted grants. A surplus of £19,175 (2022 - £9,076) was achieved. £6,667 (2022 - £17,000) of the current year's donations are in respect of the fair value of facilities provided by Nottingham City Council, this is mirrored by a charge in the accounts.

Reserves policy and going concern

The Trustees have examined the charity's requirement for reserves in light of the main risks to the charity. Trustees are committed to generating sufficient funds to support the current activities to meet the requirements of the charity, which include, providing a financial cushion against risk and future uncertainties.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NOTTINGHAM INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 July 2023 .

This report is made solely to the trustees as a body, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :

1d. Incoming Resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable that the charity will receive the income, and the value to the charity can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Donated goods are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. Where it is not practical to measure the value of the resource with sufficient reliability, the income is included in the financial period when the resource is sold. Donated facilities and services that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense, when they can be measured reliably on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. The value of the contribution made by volunteers is not included in the accounts.

Donated goods which are capitalised as tangible fixed assets are measured on their fair value where the fair value can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

1e. Resources Expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

page 10

1j. Corporation Tax

1k. Government Grants

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1m. Financial Instruments

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at settlement value.

page 11

Nottingham Industrial Museum

1n. Judgements And Key Sources Of Estimation Uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors 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 the current and future periods.

1o. Heritage Assets

Heritage assets are tangible or intangible assets which have historical, artisitc, scientific, technological, geological or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge or culture. Heritage assets are initally recognised at their fair value where practicable.

Fair value can often be estimated by reference to recent market transactions in identical assets or in assets that are substantially the same as the asset being measured. Fair value may be determined by the appraisal of market-based evidence by trustees or staff who have relevant skills, knowledge and experience or by a professionally qualified valuer. Where no market-based evidence exists, depreciated replacement cost may be used to estimate the fair value of certain properties held as heritage assets. If a reliable estimate cannot be made of the asset's fair value or the cost of valuation is likely to exceed the benefits provided by the information, the asset is not recognised in the accounts.
