RICHMONDSHIRE MUSEUM
Report – year ended 31 March 2021
There was a surplus of £7,008 for the year, thanks largely to donations of £28,570, enabling us to pay for the upgrading and improvement of the Wenham Gallery, and grants of £14,677 to finance necessary maintenance of the premises.
We were forced to remain closed for the whole of the year due to the Coronavirus resulting in the loss of all admission charges.
Our bank balances at the year-end were at the healthy level of £47,110, but are expected to fall to about £36,000 by the next April.
We have finally been able to reopen on 19 July this year and look forward to an improvement in our activities, having lost almost 4 months’ income. This will result in a deficit for the current year and our reserves fortunately are sufficient to cover us for some time in the future assuming we can remain open for the spring and summer seasons.
Alan Young, Hon. Director of Finance.
