THE W W WINTER HERITAGE TRUST
The trustees present this report, together with the accounts for the year ended 30[th] April 2022.
AIMS, OBJECTS AND HISTORY
The constitution of the Charity was approved on 27[th] July 2017 and became a registered charity on 31[st] August 2017.
The objects of the Charity are for the public benefit to advance the education of the public in the history of photography and in particular that relating to W W Winter Ltd., the city of Derby and the East Midlands, in all its aspects by any means as the trustees see fit, including through: the presentation of public meetings and lectures; the dissemination of knowledge through appropriate publications; financial and volunteer support for the W W Winter Collection Trust and support to manage, car for, make accessible and develop the collection.
The trustees are aware of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission with regard to public benefit and believe that this requirement is met through public lectures, exhibitions and the opening of the studio premises to the public on designated Heritage Days and by appointment at other times.
CHAIR’S REPORT AND STATEMENT OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The year 2021-22 has been overshadowed by the effects of COVID-19.
The volunteering programme resumed, albeit on a limited basis. A strict series of cleaning and isolation protocols enabled volunteers to return, but in restricted numbers. Not all volunteers felt comfortable returning to the office, although one new volunteer joined the team. One lecture was given to a local history society, when restrictions relaxed, however Heritage Open Days, the lecture programme and Tours remained in abeyance, in line with NHS guidelines.
Progress continued with research into the company history, much of it undertaken ‘remotely’ and the Trust continued to support the research being undertaken by the PhD student, working with the collection. An MA student was also supported in her research. Collaboration with a proposed city-wide project with both Museum, Arts and Community Group partners involved considerable research and preparation from both volunteers and staff. The project was ultimately deferred, but will be picked up either in 2022-3 or beyond. Joint working with Derby Arboretum Trust enabled W W Winter to have an active presence and small exhibition in the Arboretum as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June. Display materials were designed to be retained for future use.
The Trustees continued to work behind the scenes, undertaking online meetings to plan and submit a bid to the NHLF for funds to enable them to appoint a lead consultant to undertake a Feasibility Study as the first element of a 5-7 year programme to restore the building and secure the long-term future of the Trust and the business.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees are still happy that there is not a requirement for them to have a formal reserves policy save that when grants are received, they will be set aside in restricted funds to enable proper accountability for project expenditure. At present all reserves are General Reserves.
