note the negative impact of the Covid pandemic on the receipts of the museum. As a result of the closure of the museum from March 2020 the recsipts from donations are reduced. Similady talks and events were cancelled resutting in reduced levels of receipts. Conversely payments could not be reduced due to the number of reCu1n9 annual payments such as insurance premiums. However, given the level of reserves tt7e CIO'S financial position is stable. With regard to reserves the Trustees have retained the split of funds established for the Trust i.e. a General Fund and the designated Acquisition and Children's Funds structure, governance and management On 6 March 2019 a new organisation, The Cuckfield Museum Charitable In(x)rporated Organisation (the CIO) was registered with the Chartty Commission to take over the running of the museum from the Cuckfield Museum Trust.
