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 has 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.
7 Achievements and Activities
The Charity has maintained its full Accreditation as a museum, which was awarded by Arts Council England in 2018.
The Charity approved a new Strategic Action Plan (SAP) on 11 December 2019, which sets out priorities for the Charity from 2020 to 2024. The Charity considers that it has made good progress during the year implementing key elements of the SAP.
The Charity has received a number of grants during the year, details of which are set out in the financial review below. Trustees are grateful to those bodies which have awarded grants and acknowledge the significant beneficial impact on the Charity of each of these awards.
The Charity is preparing itself as an organisation to better represent the wider hockey family. We recognise that in order to achieve this, the Charity must demonstrate equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in all areas of activity. The Charity is committed to be better positioned to work with England Hockey in all areas of EDI in the future. A project grant of £2,000, details of which are set out in the financial review below, was received which financed an EDI training day in February 2023 which was attended by 15 trustees, staff and volunteers.

England Hockey has also made donations to the Charity of £8,280 to pay for Great Britain (GB) commemorative caps presented to men and women who have played for GB.
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

An unrestricted Covid Omicron grants of £4,000 was received from Woking BC, paid out of funds provided by Central Government and administered by local Councils. An IT Covid recovery grant of £2,672 was received from Royal Pavilion and Museums Trust.

Donations of £67,014 were received during the year which, together with the grants described above, helped to increase the cash balance held at the year end from £154,241 to £156,389. The trustees are most grateful to everyone who has supported the Charity in this way.
The trustees will apply part of this cash balance in 2023 to maintain 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.
