## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The charity is established to provide for the advancement of public education by the provision of the museum comprising the existing collection together with such other exhibits or items as may from time to time be comprised within the museum assets and to preserve the same as a collection. 

## **ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO ITS OBJECTS** 

## **Visitors and Opening** 

The Museum continues to be open to the public for five days a week, Tuesday through to Saturday and has welcomed thousands of visitors during this period. In March 2025, East Suffolk Council engaged a consultant as part of a heritage initiative to visit the Museum to talk to volunteers and, as a result of this meeting and of surveys carried out online with visitors and volunteers, the Museum received a report aimed at improving the visitor experience. The Museum will also receive some funding to support some of the recommended improvements. 

## **Displays** 

The Museum introduced new displays throughout the period. Our coin exhibition supported work on the theme of “Treasure” which we carried out with local primary school children from Halesworth and Holton in preparation for the INK Festival in April 2024 showcasing new playwriting talent. In March 2025, we launched a new exhibition on the theme of sustenance in Halesworth over the centuries. This exhibition was visited by local school children in March in preparation for their involvement in the 2025 INK Festival. 

Additional Iron Age gold coins from the Blythburgh Hoard were purchased from the British Museum and these were arranged in a new drawer display. 

## **Talks** 

The Museum provided four well-attended public talks during this time: 

“Fool’s Gold”: Changing the Law of Treasure- April 2024 Characters from the history of Walpole Old Chapel- May 2024 Halesworth Witches and Matthew Hopkins- September 2024 Halesworth’s First World War Dead- November 2024 

In addition to these public talks, Museum volunteers gave talks to the other local history groups and societies throughout the period.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO ITS OBJECTS** 

## **Partnership Work** 

The joint partnership of Halesworth and District Museum and Walpole Old Chapel has progressed with a series of activities including oral history gathering involving those connected with Walpole Old Chapel and through this partnership, with UEA MA history course. Various members of the local U3A History Group have used the Local History Room’s resources for their researches and the U3A History Group meet at the Museum. The Walpole Old Chapel Discovery Project committee also meet at the Museum. 

In July 2024, the historical research that the Museum had carried out for the Town Council culminated in the erection of various Wayfaring Signs around the town, linking the routes from the Railway Station through to the Market Place. Volunteers had provided historical background which was included in the signs. As a result of this work, the Town Council made a donation the the Museum. 

## **Contribution to scholastic research** 

We work with the UEA as part of the Walpole Old Chapel Discovery Project and are assisting the University of Cambridge as part of their analysis of the Wissett Hoard.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HALESWORTH AND DISTRICT MUSEUM CIO** 

**Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Halesworth and District Museum CIO ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Fixtures and fittings -  10% on reducing balance 

## **Heritage assets** 

The Museum accounts for objects in its collection as non-operational heritage assets. Capitalised heritage assets are not depreciated as they are deemed to have indefinite lives but are subject to impairment reviews where damage or deterioration is reported. 

The Wissett hoard purchased in 2012 for £4,300 and previously written off, has been capitalised and introduced under other trading activities income. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The charity is established to provide for the advancement of public education by the provision of the museum comprising the existing collection together with such other exhibits or items as may from time to time be comprised within the museum assets and to preserve the same as a collection. 

## **ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO ITS OBJECTS** 

## **Visitors and Opening** 

The Museum continues to be open to the public for five days a week, Tuesday through to Saturday and has welcomed thousands of visitors during this period. In March 2025, East Suffolk Council engaged a consultant as part of a heritage initiative to visit the Museum to talk to volunteers and, as a result of this meeting and of surveys carried out online with visitors and volunteers, the Museum received a report aimed at improving the visitor experience. The Museum will also receive some funding to support some of the recommended improvements. 

## **Displays** 

The Museum introduced new displays throughout the period. Our coin exhibition supported work on the theme of “Treasure” which we carried out with local primary school children from Halesworth and Holton in preparation for the INK Festival in April 2024 showcasing new playwriting talent. In March 2025, we launched a new exhibition on the theme of sustenance in Halesworth over the centuries. This exhibition was visited by local school children in March in preparation for their involvement in the 2025 INK Festival. 

Additional Iron Age gold coins from the Blythburgh Hoard were purchased from the British Museum and these were arranged in a new drawer display. 

## **Talks** 

The Museum provided four well-attended public talks during this time: 

“Fool’s Gold”: Changing the Law of Treasure- April 2024 Characters from the history of Walpole Old Chapel- May 2024 Halesworth Witches and Matthew Hopkins- September 2024 Halesworth’s First World War Dead- November 2024 

In addition to these public talks, Museum volunteers gave talks to the other local history groups and societies throughout the period.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO ITS OBJECTS** 

## **Partnership Work** 

The joint partnership of Halesworth and District Museum and Walpole Old Chapel has progressed with a series of activities including oral history gathering involving those connected with Walpole Old Chapel and through this partnership, with UEA MA history course. Various members of the local U3A History Group have used the Local History Room’s resources for their researches and the U3A History Group meet at the Museum. The Walpole Old Chapel Discovery Project committee also meet at the Museum. 

In July 2024, the historical research that the Museum had carried out for the Town Council culminated in the erection of various Wayfaring Signs around the town, linking the routes from the Railway Station through to the Market Place. Volunteers had provided historical background which was included in the signs. As a result of this work, the Town Council made a donation the the Museum. 

## **Contribution to scholastic research** 

We work with the UEA as part of the Walpole Old Chapel Discovery Project and are assisting the University of Cambridge as part of their analysis of the Wissett Hoard.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HALESWORTH AND DISTRICT MUSEUM CIO** 

**Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Halesworth and District Museum CIO ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, and it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Fixtures and fittings -  10% on reducing balance 

## **Heritage assets** 

The Museum accounts for objects in its collection as non-operational heritage assets. Capitalised heritage assets are not depreciated as they are deemed to have indefinite lives but are subject to impairment reviews where damage or deterioration is reported. 

The Wissett hoard purchased in 2012 for £4,300 and previously written off, has been capitalised and introduced under other trading activities income. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
