Museum: During nomal times the Museum is open for eleven months of the year, only closing in January for updating the displays. Entran to the Museum is free. For Town events, like the Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival, we extent our opening times to cover the event. lthere possible we also put on a relevant display e.g display regarding Thomas Hardy, William Barnes and Robert Young for the Literary Festival. We also host"Finds Days. where the County Finds Officer comes to identrfy objects found by members of the wblic. This ye8r12020 to 2021) the Museum was closed to the public until the end of May, having been closed since mid March 2020. sin re-opening there have been a steady flow of visitors, although numbers are lower than for the same period in 2019. We have extended our weekday opening hours by one hour, closing at 40 pm instead of &OO pm, to provide more of an opportunity for, among others, visitors after school hours. As a new venture we have set up an area in the Museum where members of the public can browse, under supervision, through our large photographic archive and documents relating to family history, such as census records. A computer and desk for this was financed by a grant. We have also restarted our evening talks. the first one was in September, although the frequency will be somewhat less than previous. Summary ol the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects Ilnclude withln this section the Statutory declaration that tru$tee$ have had regard to the guidance issued by th• Charlty Commission on publi¢ benefit) Mlll: During nomial times the Mill is open from April to the end of September from 11-00 a.m. to 54)0 p.m. There is an admission charge for the Mill but this also includes an optional guided tour. We hosl various events for the public and for members and volunteers at the Mill, including being a venue for the "Honky Tonk Festival" Due10 Covid the Mill was closed throughoul 2020.

Since closing at the end of September, scaffolding has been erected at the Mill so that repaifs to the Mill can commence. This is a joint venture between the Trust, the Town Council and the Mill owners, the Pitt-Rivers Estate. TAR March 2012
Additional details of ob"ectives and activities ional inforniation Our volunteers are very important to us and in the past we have held a special event to thank them and allow them to purchase items from our shop at a discounl during a special late opening of the Museum.

We have also been abl8 to take part in the Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival by extending our opening hours at the Museum to include all day Saturday and Sunday, the Mill is normally open on both days and this year was no exception. For the Sturminsler Newton Literary Festival we had a dedicated display at the Museum covering the three authorslpoets. Thomas Hardy, Robert Young and William Barnes. Once again we extended our opening hours to cover both Saturday and Sunday. We h8ve also obtained 8 grant to finance the purchase of a computer so that members of the public can access, under supervision, our large photographic archive as well as other documents re18ting to family history We have set aside 8 dedicated area for this activity.

This will provide fvnding for unexpected opportunities and Cover for risks of unexpected expenditure or loss of income. Brlef statement of the charity, policy on reserves Details of any funds materially In deficit Furtherfinanclal review details (Optional infomiation) We survived 2020 thanks to 8 £10,Cm coronavirus grant from the govemment. We are eligible for these grants as our shops are classed as businesses and we pay business rates for the hvo buildings we o(£upy and maintain. We were required to cease trading whilst in lockdown. This situation continued into 2021 and we received further coronavirus grants totalling over £12,OCMJ. Further grants from Dorset County council and other organisations and benefactors lifted this income to over £30,000. We resumed trading18ter in the year and made signrficant profits from the Mill & Museum. These incr8ases from the previous y8ar can be seen on the Receipts area of the account sheet. Our total income for the year rose to £43,726. Unfortunately, our payments rose but not as dramatic as our income. With the years profits were able to replace our ageing and uneconomic heating system in the Museum. The payment for this has been spread over 2 years and totals nearly £10,CNJO. This investment will last 20 years or more.
