4 Constitution
The Hockey Museum was registered by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (registered Charity No 1170979) as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 4 January 2017. It was registered with the intention that it would take over the assets and operations of National Hockey Museum, a Charitable Trust constituted by a Trust Deed dated 11 July 2012, which was registered by the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 9 October 2012.
The operations and all of the assets of the Charitable Trust were transferred to the Charity, and the Charitable Trust wound up and deregistered as a charity.
5 Objects and Public Benefit
The objects of the Charity are advancing the education of the public in the history and development of hockey and its antecedents, in particular by establishing or maintaining a museum for the permanent exhibition and preservation of items of education and/or historic value.
The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and consider that the Charity has complied with this guidance.
6 Partnership with England Hockey
The Charity had a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with England Hockey, which formalises the collaboration between the Charity and England Hockey. Under this MoU, the Charity receives an annual grant of £25,000. The MoU was renewed with effect from 1 September 2021.
7 Achievements and Activities
The Charity has maintained its full Accreditation as a museum, which was awarded by Arts Council England in 2018.
In January 2019, the Charity was awarded a Resilience Heritage grant of up to £81,500 by the National Heritage Lottery Fund. This grant enabled the Charity to obtain professional external advice in order to lay the foundations for the next stage in its development, as a result of which the Charity approved a new Strategic Action Plan (SAP) on 11 December 2019. The SAP sets out priorities for the Charity from 2020 to 2024.
The Covid 19 pandemic led to the closure of the museum to visitors for part of 2021, and restricted the attendance of staff and volunteers working in the museum. However, the staff and volunteers continued to be active, working remotely when necessary, and good progress was made in those areas of the SAP which it was possible to address.
In addition to the annual grant from England Hockey referred to in Section 6 above, during the year the Charity was awarded Covid-19 related grants totalling £28,143, details of which are set out in the Financial Review in Section 9 below. During 2020, the Charity was awarded a place on the Digital Heritage Lab (The Lab), which is a National Lottery Heritage Fund project run by the Arts Marketing Association. The Lab offers expert and bespoke support to trustees, staff and volunteers which will help the Charity to develop the digital skills and strategy which it needs to deliver its SAP. The Lab commenced in 2020 and was completed in 2021.
Trustees are grateful to those bodies which have awarded grants and acknowledge the significant beneficial impact on the Charity of each of these awards.
THM is preparing itself as an organisation to better represent the wider hockey family. We recognise that in order to achieve this, THM must demonstrate equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in all areas of activity. THM are committed to be better positioned to work with England Hockey in all areas of EDI in the future.
8 Trustees and Related Parties
No trustee received remuneration or expenses from the Charity. Trustees made donations to the Charity totalling £7,310.
N Pink is the Chief Executive of England Hockey, from which a grant of £25,000 was received under the terms of the Charity’s MoU with England Hockey.
9 Risk Management
The trustees have considered the principal strategic, operational and financial risks and uncertainties to which the charity is exposed and have put in place plans and strategies for managing those risks.
10 Financial Review
The annual grant of £25,000 was received from England Hockey.
Unrestricted Covid-19 closure grants totalling £14,143 and Covid-19 restart grants totalling £14,100 were received from Woking BC, paid out of funds provided by Central Government and administered by local Councils.
A grant of £15,000 was awarded by the Arts Council in 2020 to finance a feasibility study, carried out by external consultants, for the Charity to create a mobile exhibition. The first instalment of this grant, £13,500, was received in 2020 and the final tranche of £1,500 was received during 2021. The consultants concluded their work in 2021 and their report has been carefully considered by the Board of Trustees.
Donations of £80,009 were received during the year which, together with the grants described above, helped to increase the cash balance held at the year end from £107,590 to £154,241. The trustees are most grateful to everyone who has supported the Charity in this way.
The trustees have applied part of this cash balance in 2022 to enhance its staffing levels and to address the priorities in the SAP, whilst retaining sufficient cash in reserves in order to ensure the Charity’s sustainability and to enable the Charity to make satisfactory progress towards achieving its Objects.
