TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019".

The legal and administrative information page forms part of this report.

Objectives and activities

The Society’s objects are to educate the public in the interests of Science, the Humanities and Literature by the provision of a Museum, a Library and Archives and by such charitable means as may be practicable.

In pursuit of that overall objective, the Society continues to maintain and develop the Museum, which continues to attract visitors from all parts of the UK and overseas, including a number of educational visits from school parties. It is staffed by a team of volunteers, including the sectional curators, supported by paid part-time staff comprising a documentation officer, a Museum manager and three museum assistants.

The Library and Archives, amassed over the Society’s life, amount to over 7,500 volumes covering a wide range of topics of local interest and at least as many archives. The Museum also has some 15,000 photographs, pictures and prints, and roughly 600 maps. Stewardship of the photographs, pictures and maps is shared with the Library and Archive. The Museum, Library and Archive has approximately 90,000 artefacts in total.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the AGM was conducted via Zoom on 28 th February 2021. At the AGM, it was proposed and agreed by the membership, that Sarah Booth be re-elected as Honorary Chair for a one year extension to her current term.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Museum closed in October 2020 and re-opened in May 2021 on reduced hours and limited capacity. In mid-July 2021 it increased the days when the Museum was open to 6 days per week from the four days per week it had operated previously. As a result, our admission figures were greatly reduced, as was our income. Our losses due to Covid-19 for this financial year have been mitigated by grants received and government support via the Furlough scheme. Work is continuing to review all aspects of the Charity’s operation and to take what action we reasonably can to mitigate predicted losses for 2021/22.

During the closure our social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram was increased with regular postings to raise the Museum’s profile. Visitors to our website and other social media outlets continue to rise.

In June 2021 we were able to open a temporary exhibition entitled A Vision of Whitby about the life and work of a local photographer, whose centenary occurs in December 2021, which has proved to be very popular.

The Museum Supporters Scheme was established at the end of 2017 continues to attract new Museum Patrons. The scheme now has 28 Patrons. Further Patrons are being sought and an increase in membership actively promoted.

Training

The Trustees remain aware of the importance of training and take advantage of opportunities as they occur. Several training courses have been attended by staff and volunteers covering a number of topics such as: Case design and Interpretation; Family Friendly Approaches; Audience Development; Income Generation; Emergency Planning and First Aid Training. The majority have occurred online through Zoom or equivalent platforms. .

Financial review

During the year income received was £134,355 (2020: £293,183) and £170,732 was spent (2020: £177,608). This resulted in a deficit of £36,377 (2020: surplus £115,575). Gains on Investments of £32,867 (2020: £172) leaves a deficit of £3,510 (2020: Surplus £115,747).

We are grateful to the Thomas William Varley Roe Deceased Charity for continuously supporting us.

The free reserves at 30 September 2021 were £532,590 (2020: £516,505).

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

A Forward Plan is under continuous review to take account of the unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Continuing conservation work is planned in the coming year to preserve the collections for future generations. Private funding is enabling us to continue to upgrade specific facilities and functions to improve certain aspects of the Museum and its operation.

Staff regularly attend regional meetings with other museums, currently on line. Training opportunities will continue to be sought in the coming year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies are consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which is expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the funder or when funds are raised for a specific purpose.

1.4 Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Donations and legacies are received by way of grants, donations and gifts and are included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.

Raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations and legacies. The costs of trading for fundraising purposes includes the charity’s shop.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity on the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Expenditure on fixed assets costing more than £1,000 is capitalised. Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis as follows:-

Leasehold improvements 25 years
Fixtures 20 years
Furniture and equipment 8 years
Computer equipment 4 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Stocks

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks .

1.10 Leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged in the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
