## _Achievements and Performance_
_Following the closure at the end of October 2025 of the pop-up museum which was operated in conjunction with ther National Trust at Blickling Hall, the whole of the collection is currently stored in a storage facility at Fransham Farm while a search continues to find a permanent property._

_* - make good use of volunteers’ skills and reinforce/renew relationships built over many years at the John Jarrold Printing Museum_
- _- begin the process of in-house training for trainers – the next generation of printers, compositors and bookbinders to take the skills forward into the future_
- _- display and make good use of a selection of hand-operated machinery in the public domain_
- _- gain insight into the viability of future courses and events_
- _- increase NPM’s membership and volunteer database._
- _- subject to agreement with the National Trust, to generate sales from printed merchandise through a small shop area, and also the restoration of old and damaged books_

**NORWICH PRINTING MUSEUM Year ended 31 October 2025**
## **Independent Examiner’s report**
I report on the accounts of the Norwich Printing Museum for the year ended 31 October 2025 which are set out on the preceding pages.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Basis of the Independent Examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- (3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in conjunction 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.
