## Lyn & Exmoor Museum, Charity No; 1186098 

## Period 01/01/2023to 31/12/2023. 

## The governing document is that of the CIO. 

Charitable objects: The charity’s objects are to advance the education of the public by the establishment and maintenance of a museum and educational facility for items of historical interest, archives, images, arts and crafts especially those with relevance to the villages of Lynton and Lynmouth and the surrounding area. 

The main activities are the provision and maintenance of the historic museum building, providing access to the public to the collection of artifacts in the possession of the trustees, and to aid the understanding and interpretation of the exhibits. The trustees also have the responsibility of ensuring the financial soundness of the museum, which is mostly provided by collecting admission fees from the visiting public. 

The trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

The trustees have also been preparing plans for a “Big project” to safeguard and improve the museum, improve access and reorganise  the displays to make them more interesting and accessible. Grant funding  for this is being sought from the Arts Council England. 

Membership of the trustees is not limited by proscription and is usually by invitation following an expression of interest by the applicant. Such membership is granted by the approval of the existing trustees and is not willfully withheld.
