- During our fourth year of running, our operations were significantly curtailed due the COVID pandemic.  For the first three months we operated in a similar fashion to the previous year.  However, at the end of February 2020, we closed the building to all visitors and volunteers to comply with government advice and regulations.  The building has very few opening windows and a re-circulating air conditioning system thus it was not a COVID secure location.  This meant that the The Radio Communication Museum of Great Britain is a traditionbuilding nd hence the museum, ceased to **a** l museum focused on the science and equioperate hysically **p** ment of radio communication.

**Section E Financial review** This is our fourth year of operation.  We knew at the outset that **Brief statement of the** we would be reliant for our first few years on corporate and **charity’s policy on** personal donations and loans.  We had planned to operate **reserves** broadly with a small loss for the first three years, a break even in years four and five and to start to create operational reserves from year six onwards.  COVID has put back this plan by two years. 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

The museum has been very lucky during this difficult year, to attract a corporate donation of £23,000 from the Alerter Group plc. 

Also the Museum benefitted from a £25,000 grant from the Derby City Council relating to the COVID pandemic and a waiver of the rates that would have been chargeable on the museum’s building.
