## **MALDON MUSEUM IN THE PARK** 47 Mill Road, Maldon, Essex CM9 5HX Telephone: 01621 842688 Email: enquiries@maldonmuseum.org.uk Registered Charity 1185595 Patron: The Right Honourable John WhiMngdale, OBE, MP ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDING JANUARY 2022** The Trustees present their annual report and audited accounts for the year ending January 2022 and confirm that they comply with the requirements of the Charity Commissioners. The Museum operates as a Charitable Incorporated OrganisaUon (CIO), registered with the Charity Commission and Companies House in 2019 but, because of the pandemic, did not become operaUonal unUl July 2021. when the assets of Maldon District Museum AssociaUon were formally transferred at the final AGM. MDMA was subsequently wound up in 2022, once new banking arrangements had been set up. ## **OUR AIMS** To advance the educaUon of the public by the provision of a museum To advance the educaUon of the public in the history of Maldon and the local district by providing and maintaining a museum and by protecUng, conserving and displaying artefacts and items from the collecUons held by the museum. ## **OUR OBJECTIVES** Our vision is to develop Maldon Museum in the Park into a hub for diverse and integrated community acUvity and a visitor experience that adds value to the town as a tourist desUnaUon. Entry to the museum is free for all, although we do ask for donaUons if visitors enjoy their visit. The trustees see making the museum welcoming and inclusive as an important part of our objecUves. ## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS** The museum has a board of five trustees and is run by a management commi]ee consisUng at present of ten members. Trustees and commi]ee members are all volunteers. There are no paid staff. We are established in a building owned by the local council, which we occupy rent free and approximately one/third of our collecUon is on loan from Maldon District Council, which we display, store and care for on their behalf. ## OPENING The museum is usually open from Easter unUl the end of October but in 2021 did not open unUl mid-May because of Covid-19 restricUons. We remained open for the November halfterm. Opening hours are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1.00 - 4.00pm. Each session is staffed by at least two volunteers. We welcome a variety of groups by special arrangement, which in 2021 included groups from local special schools and visiUng tourists from further afield. ## ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN These include a quiz to take them around the museum and a fossil hunt in the courtyard. Special art and crag acUviUes are offered during school holidays and are supported by the local branch of the Arts Society. A volunteer also runs fossil tours at nearby Creaksea during the summer. ## DISPLAYS AND EXHIBITIONS Apart from the permanent displays we run a programme of temporary exhibiUons. In 2021 these included a presentaUon on Maldon and District women, which included the first black mid-wife in Maldon. A second exhibiUon was composed of pictures from our archives, paired with photographs of the same view today, taken by local arUsts and photographers. Permanent displays are being reviewed and raUonalised to more clearly reflect life in the community, past and present. **OUR FINANCES.** The financial statement shows net income as £ 7652. The usual principle source of income is donaUons - £5877 AddiUon income comes from shop sales and from grant funding. Maldon District Council makes a contribuUon towards insuring the cost of our collecUon. We do not pay business rates but are not able to reclaim VAT on purchases . Local authority and government funding in 2020 and 2021 enabled us to cover our costs during periods when we were unable to open during Covid-restricUons and to make our premises safe for the public when restricUons were liged. We have a small conUngency fund to future-proof any further emergencies.
