DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM
(A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directorsltrustees present their report and financial statements for the period ended 31
December 2021.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The objects of the DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM are specifically
restricted to being for the public benefit, to establish and maintain a museum in Deal for the
exhibition of artefacts and displays illustrating the history of Deal, Walmer. and district.
It delivers this through-
The extension, enhancement. preservation, maintenance and storage of the museum's
collections.
The fostering of an environment where visitors of all ages are able to explore, and be
inspired by. the history of the local area.
The provision of opportunities for research and leaming relating to the museum's
collections.
The facilitation of the on-going recording of the history of Deal, Walmer, and district.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
As in 2020. much of the traditional work of the Museum in 2021 was affected by the ongoing
measures around the COVID-19 pandemic. The enforced closure gave the Trustees and
volunteers the opportunity to carry out much-needed changes and improvements within the
Museum, with a decision made to use some of our reserves to improve safety within the
Museum and improve the visitor experience:
A new fire alarm system, with associated wiring upgrade, has been fitted within the
Museum, following a report and advice by East Kenl Fire Service.
A substantial programme of rationalisation and reorganising- with storytelling and visitor
engagement at its heart- has been completed, including:
The Local History Gallery has been re-floored and rewired, and plans have been
made for replacement windows. Artefacts have been assessed to ensure
relevance to Deal, displays updated and propedy labelled. Selected artefacts,
including 'Ratty', the Museum's mascot, have been sent away for conservation.
o Thanks to the donalion of some large, lighted display cabinets, the Maritime
Gallery space now has a new Lifeboat exhibition, tracking the long history of
lifeboats in Deal. Tender Too, a small Little Ship, has been moved into the
courtyard (with appropriate covering).
The former Offi￿ has been re-sited in the accessioning room in the Stable building,
freeing up space for the Museum Archive to be properly housed, organised, recorded,
and indexed, and placed within archive-standard storage. This has increased the
capacity for the Museum to provide a researth service to the community.
Tiny Tag humidity monitors have been installed throughout the Museum to measure how
artefacts are reacting to changes in humidity and temperature.
The Trench Exhibition, sited in a temporary building: marking the 100th anniversary of
WWI has been dismantled. providing much needed storage Spa￿ for the Museum.

Trustees decided that the Museum should open for three days a week from July to October.
This met with mixed Suc￿sS due to drfficulty getting volunteers due to illness and COVID
issues. The Trustees made the decision to suspend entrance fees and ask for donations
instead.
Other revenue raising initiatives included:
The Museum Shop has been revamped and stocked with several new items including
Museum playing cards, Deal Town tea lights, coasters, bunting, mugs, postcards and a
variety of publications covering local history. and a￿Ork from local artists, furthering our
local connections in Deal.
The sale of electronic copies of historic photographs of Deal from the Basil Kidd archive.
Our Archive Team has carried out over 40 research commissions into properties and
other local history issues, in return for a donation to Museum funds.
The new till system has been very useful, ensuring accurate record keeping and
stocktaking.
Effective governance of the Museum continued throughout the year with Trustees meeting
regularly, initially through Zoom and then, from August, in a suitably socially distanced
manner at the Museum premises.
The Truslees completed the application prO￿sS for Accredited Museum Status from the Arts
Council, which included a thorough review and revision of all the Museum's operational
policies.
Finally, during the year two long-serving Trustees stepped down, as they had planned. three
resigned because of other outside commitments they had. but four new Trustees joined the
Board.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees of the Charity are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year
which give a true and fair view of the state of financial affairs of the Charity at the end of the
year and of its financial activities during the year then ended. In preparing those financial
statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
state whether applicable standards and slatement of recommended practice have
been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the
financial statements, and
prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the project will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose at any
time the financial position of the Charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets
of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud
and other irregularities.

DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM
REPORT OF THE CHAIR AND TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results of the year's operation are set out in the attached financial statements.
The net movement in funds for the year amounted to + £2,119. The retained reserves as at
31 December 2021, amounted to £32,804.
The Trustees have been aware of the need to comply with good practice guidelines on free
reseNes and DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM policy is included in the
notes to the accounts.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have examined the major risks which DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL
HISTORY MUSEUM faces and believe that maintaining free reserves at a reasonable level,
combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems will provide
sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.
The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which the Charity
faces and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
RESERVES POLICY
The Museum's reserves policy has been drawn up in accordance with the Arts Council's
Guidance of 2019 regarding reseNes in Arts and Cultural Organisations.
The Museum benefits from being the freehold owner of its building. having been gifted it
specifically for the purpose, hence its value is reflected in Restricted Funds. However. this.
along with the fact that the Museum is run on a largely voluntary basis, means that annual
overheads are relatively low, and fundraising is regularly undertaken for specific activities
and projects, so these again are accounted for on a Reslricted Funding basis.
On 31st December 2021, Unrestricted Fund balan￿S totalled £40.793; however, in
consideration of the charity's role as Museum and laking account of potential risks to the
charity and its activities, Trustees have agreed that it is ne￿SSary to designate the following
sums from Unrestricted balances to both protect and develop the important collection for
which they are responsible-
£10,000 - For upkeep and maintenance of building and displays.
£10,000 - For acquisition of artefacts of historical irnportan￿ to enhance the
collection.
The Trustees also recognise that, should the Museum have to close, it would likely take at
least 12 to 18 months to dispose of the collection and the building in a manner to ensure this
can be done in accordance with requirements of the Museum's charitable status and
purpose. Therefore, the organisation needs to maintain levels of reserves that amount to 18
months running costs which totals £20,437 at 2021 levels.
Therefore, at the start of 2022, Trustees were looking to increase their levels of unrestricted
income to help provide adequately for any potential scenario that might reasonably be
anticipated.

This Reserves Policy is kept under regular review. to reflect changing activities of the
Museum, it's outreach into the local communities and beyond. and the future ambitions of
both the Trustees and the Museum's clients and visitors.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
The Charities fixed assets fall into 3 main categories as follows=
Museum Buildin
The Charity s primary asset is its building which was gifted by
Miss Nora Oppitz specifically for the purpose. In 2021 Trustees recognised the
importance of recording the va5ue of the building within its annual accounts, to provide
a clearer picture of the financial status of the organisation. Local estate agents Bright
and Bright gave a valuation of £550.000 which is now reflected in the 2021 Balance
Sheet. The 2020 Balance Sheet has also been adjusted to reflect this, and the
Restricted Funds balances updated accordingly.
Museum Fixtures and Fittin
- The Charity has existed for 50 years and has
inherited its fixtures, fittings, display cases, etc. from many local people and local
businesses, all gifted. As there was no cost to the Charity of acquiring these items,
they do not bear a value in the annual accounts; should specialist fittings need to be
purchased with a longer-tem value, these wll be reflected in the accounts and
deprecialed in value over their useful lrfe.
Museum Exhibits - The Charity is regularly gifted new exhibits by area residents,
and local tradespeople, and it is an ongoing exercise to catalogue these to provide a
transparent record of their heritage value. As there was no cost to the Charity of
acquiring these items to date, they do not bear a value in the annual accounts.
However, there is always the potential for importanl local artefacts lo become
available and which would greally enhance the collection if purchased by Trustees for
the Museum. Should such purchases occur, they will be reflected in the accounts at
cost.
FUNDS AVAILABLE
The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the Charity operations
for the short to medium term, and the trustees consider the financial position of the Charity to
be satisfactory.
VOLUNTEERS
DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM recognises the vital roles played by its
many volunteers, and the importance of their contributions to ensuring the success of the
Charity, and the opportunities created for future expansion of its work and its reach.

DEAL MARITIME AND LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM
(A Charitable Incorporated Organisation)
REQUIREMENT FOR INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION OF ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the charity, we are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in
accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act-).
Where required, it is the role of an Independent Examiner to undertake an examination of the
Trust's accounts in accordance with section 145 of the 2011 Act, following applicable
Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Purpose of an Independent Examiner's statement
The Independent Examiner's role is to ensure that no material matters have come to
their attention in connection with the examination which gives them cause to believe
that in. any material respect-.
the accounting records were not kept in accordants with section130 of the Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records. or
the accounts did 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 requirements that the accounts give a 'true and
fair, view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
Ideally. they will report to the Trustees to confirm they have no such concerns and
have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which
attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts io be reached.
The Requirements for Independent Examination or Audit
All charities with an annual income above £25,000 are required to have either
an independent examination of accounts or an audit. All charities with an annual
income above £1 m (or with an income over £250,000 and assets above £3.26m)
are required to have an audit.
The type of scrutiny required can also depend on a charity's legal structure, level of
income, and the wording in its conslitution (for example for unincorporated charities,
for Charitable Incorporated Organisations, or for charitable companies). For charities
with an income above £250.000 the examiner must have a professional qualification
or be a member of a body specified in the Charrties Act 2006,
Further detailed explanations can be found at Chari
re
ortin
and accounts
Resource Centre
including requirements for Annual Reporting to the Charity
Commission.
With an income of close to £16,000 in 2021. the Trustees are satisfied that there is no
requirement for either Independent Examination or Audit. This is kept under annual review.
