This report has been prepared for informative purposes to catalogue the work undertaken by the Margate Museums Trust (MMT) during the year 2022 to 2023. ## Reference and Administrative Details. Registered Name of Charity: Margate Museums Trust Charity Registration Number: 1173031 Registered Office Address: Margate Museum Market Place MARGATE Kent CT9 1ER Charitable Trustees: Robin Haddon Adrian Hughes Frederick Smith Felicity Stafford Amy Waterman ## **. Structure, Governance and Management** The Margate Museums Trust was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in May 2017. We are governed by a “Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation” with voting members other than its charity trustees (‘Association ‘ Model Constitution) dated September 2016. ## **Objectives and Activities.** The objectives of the CIO To benefit the residents and visitors to, the town of Margate by: - 1 Establishing and maintaining the Margate Museums; 2 Advancing education for the public benefit by: - (a) organising, preserving and conserving the collection of historic - artefacts and - (b) developing a greater knowledge and understanding of Margate’s heritage through displays, exhibitions and education activities. Margate Museums Trust Annual Report 2022 to 2023 Page 3 of 21 ## **VISION STATEMENT: PRESERVE INSPIRE EDUCATE** The trust is the custodian of an extensive collection of historical artefacts of the town of Margate dating back to the Bronze Age on behalf of Thanet District Council. Its primary aim and justification of public benefit is to enable, the general public, schools, colleges and universities, access to the town’s past by opening the Museums, displaying artefacts, mounting specific exhibitions based on local history and heritage, giving talks, arranging educational visits, and assisting students, bodies and individuals with research into the town of Margate. Alongside this, we also have an ongoing programme of auditing and archiving the collection. This has been done by our volunteers in line with Arts Council Accreditation standards. Following the retirement of our archivists, a programme of recruitment of volunteers has been put into place with the hope of replacing the Archive Team. An application to the Arts Council for Accreditation was put on hold during the lockdown and the time limit for application passed. This is still on the priority list for the MMT. ## **Achievements and Performance.** Re-opening: Margate Museum and the Tudor House re-opened in July 2021. In the first few months there were some Covid restrictions still in place. Fortunately, thanks to the loyalty and hard work of the volunteers, the Museum continues to be opened on a regular basis. Opening Times: Opening days for both the Museum (and the Tudor House when available) have been restricted to Saturday and Sunday and Bank Holidays only. Opening times have also been restricted to between 11 and 3 pm with last entry at 2.15 pm. Prices have been kept to pre-Covid levels. Tudor House: Unfortunately, MMT has been unable to open the Tudor House since February 2022. A major storm caused some damage to the building. This was followed a few weeks later by vandalism. The damage has been assessed by the Council but the Trust still awaits the starting of any repairs. The Trust has heard nothing, yet, as to when repairs are likely to start. The closure has affected the income of the Trust considerably. There have been one or two examples of sink holes in the gardens behind the House. Repairs were undertaken to fill in the holes but there are still concerns. The Volunteer gardeners continue to maintain the grounds. Margate Museums Trust Annual Report 2022 to 2023 Page 4 of 21 Enhancing protocols: The Trustees have continued, where necessary, to take the opportunity to re-visit documents in order to enhance internal protocols and processes. As an example, work has been undertaken on reviewing the documentation relating to volunteers. MMT continue to take every opportunity to pursue discussions about formalising agreements and the way forward. Accreditation: An application to the Arts Council for Accreditation was put on hold during the lockdown and the time limit for application passed. This is still on the priority list for the MMT. New Website: in 2022 – 2023 the Trust invested in a new website and associated social media. The Work of the Museums: This has included: - Open Heritage Days: The Museums continued to take part in the Open Heritage Days scheme in September 2022 and will continue to do in 2023. - Platinum Jubilee Exhibition: The Museum celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with an exhibition dedicated to some of the royal visits to Margate during the 19[th] and 20[th] centuries. - Cliftonville Voices: The Museum hosted the exhibition from the Cliftonville Cultural Space held in 2022. - Pop-up Exhibitions: The big tables in the magistrate’s court have been used to house two pop-up exhibitions. The first pop-up re-visited the Battle of Margate which took place in 1387. The current one commemorates the Incorporation of Margate as a Borough in 1857. - Artefact of the Month: Starting in February 2022 the Museum has highlighted a different artefact from the Museum collection each month. These have included: the Sunbeam Donkeys, Flint, Coal, the Margate Bellman and the Royal Sea Bathing Hospital Dolls. Information booklets have been produced for visitors to buy for a small sum. - Working with the Community: One of the aims of the MMT is build closer links with the Community. The MMT now has a spot in the Margate Civic Society Newsletter which gives details of what the Museum is doing. - The Trust has worked with The Thanet Volunteer Hub project which is aimed at extending the number of volunteers in local attractions. This has involved working with The Tourist Information Centre, Margate Caves, East Kent College and the Dickens Museum to promote volunteering. This has been a positive. Not only has it given MMT new volunteers It has also allowed for the updating of the volunteer information pack in line with other attractions. - The Trust has worked with the Cliftonville Voices which is part of the Cliftonville Cultural Space group. The group is dedicated to renewing the old synagogue in Cliftonville and re-opening it as a community hub. In October and November 2022, they hosted an exhibition on what Cliftonville was like in words, voices and pictures. At the end of its run, part of this exhibition transferred to the Museum. Margate Museums Trust Annual Report 2022 to 2023 Page 5 of 21 - Information Seekers **:** The Museum also fields questions from outside parties seeking information. We have also supported students most recently one looking for information about Victorian Margate - **“** Wheels of Time”: Just before lockdown the Museum applied for and was accepted as a member of the “Wheels of Time” group. This is a badge collecting scheme which encourages the exploration of Kent Heritage sites for those aged 5 -11. This links us with other museums in the area. - Association of Independent Museums **:** The Trust continues to be a member of AIM. ## **Financial Summary.** The finalisation of the accounts for 2022 was delayed due to Trustee illness and the closure of the Museum for a month following water damage after heavy rain. The Tudor House has been closed for most of the year for maintenance and repair due to storm damage and vandalism. This has had an effect on the combined takings for the two museums. Takings have dropped from £5,900 in the previous year to £4,216 for the current year. Expenditure saw an increase to £7,198 from the previous figure of £5,631. The MMT currently holds a balance in the bank of £29,680 which is held in reserve for exhibitions and development plans. ## The Year Ahead. ## Future Exhibitions: One exhibition that is being planned for 2023 will focus on the Great Storms that have hit Margate from 1703 to 1987. An exhibition of posters relating to The Winter Gardens. This was one of the major tourist attractions in pre-war and post war Margate. ## Artefacts of the Month: Ideas for future artefacts include: Original Edmunds Map of Margate of 1821 Original 1920’s chairs from The Winter Gardens. ## Priorities: One of the first priorities will be to return to the Arts Council Accreditation scheme which was put on hold during lockdown. Margate Museums Trust Annual Report 2022 to 2023 Page 6 of 21 The Trust will continue to work with other groups in the Community such as the Volunteer Project, Cliftonville Voices, educational and other groups. The continued recruitment of volunteers remains a priority. The Trust will continue to re-visit and update all the main documentation for Trustees and Volunteers and look to expand the Board of Trustees and Volunteer Group. Other priorities include reviewing any Conservation Assessments with regard to the collections and ensure that they are kept securely and in good condition. Most crucially, we will be seeking to increase our visitor numbers, enhance our public profile and increase our income by all possible means to help fund improvements to the Museum and Tudor House. We will be looking at obtaining grant funding both short term and long term to enhance the work of the Museums. We will be looking at the operation of the Museums’ website and use of social media plus traditional methods of publicity. The Trustees thank the Volunteer Secretary, Treasurer and Executive, as well as the Volunteers for all their hard work and support over the past year from the day-to-day manning and archiving to the cleaning and care behind the scenes. The Museums could not continue to run without them.
