Achievements and perfonnance
2021 has been a year of limited activity for the museum due to the COVTD 19 pandemic.
The museum closed its dcors to the public in early March 2020 and did not reopen until 31
July 2021. Despite the closure we were able to provide a limited service by:
(a) Maintaining an active presence on social media and the museum's website.
(b) Continuing to provide loan boxes to local schools"
(c) Answaring queries from the public on lo(21 history"
(d) Acquiring new exhibils for the museum's ￿)llectiOn.
The Executive Cofflmittee was also very busy in carying out a detailed review of the
collection with a view to rationalisation. This has also involved updating the museum's
catalogue system.
Financial review
The charity's financial statements and position have been scrutinised by an external
examiner and the details are set out on pages 4 to 8 below. The Tru5tee5 would like to

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 reCu￿1n9 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. The charity's registered number
is 1182604. As a result. all activities in 2020 and 2021 have been conducted through the
new organisation. By the end of 2021 all remaining balan￿S in the Trust were transferred
to the CIO and the Tnjst's two bank accounts are now closed.
The CIO operates in accordance with its constitution which has been approved and
adopted by the CIO Trustees. Policy decisions are taken by the Board of Trustees while

The charity's trustees are responsible for the prePa￿tiOn of the ac(x)unts. The th8rtty'$
trustees cr)nsider Ihal an audit is not wuired for Ihis year under section 144{2} of the
Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) 2nd that an independent examination is needed. It is my
responsibility to=
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Acl
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
commission under section 14515Mb) of the 2011 Act
to state Nvhether partI￿lar matters have ¢))me to my attention
Basls of independent examlnetrs report
My examinalion was ￿rried out in aC(X)rdan￿ wtlh the general Directions given by the
Charity.Cornrriwssin.. An examination indudes a *view of th￿cCounting records kept by
the charity anei a comparison of the accounts presented wFth those records.¥t also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disdosures in the accounts, and seeknng
explanations from you as twstees ￿nI￿rnIng any such matter5. The prO￿dureS
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audtt and
Gonsequently no opinion is given as to whether the aoxunts present a Irue and fair view.
and the report is limf(&J to those matter5 set ¢JJt in the next statemenL
Independent examineVs statsment
In connection with my examination. no matter has come lo my attention..

and
b. to prepare accounts which ac(J)rd with the ac(￿unting records and comply
