TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024


Mission

The main objective of the charity is to provide information to educate visitors to the museum about historical toys and models. The charity also provides the opportunity for members of the public to donate or loan toys and models of historical interest to the museum for display.

Review of Activities

The museum was open for 117 days (102 days in 2022-23) and the average attendance per day was 39 (35 in 2022-23). As the museum becomes established, numbers are expected to further increase. In addition, there was an increase in school visits and visits by various clubs and societies which increased the overall visitor numbers for the year to just under 5,000.

In 2023-24 we offered to undertake visits to schools with a selection of exhibits from the museum and this has been well received with three such visits being made. A total of 9 school visits were made to the museum, although 5 of these were not charged as it was part of the collaboration with Sidmouth Folk Week.

We continue to receive donations of old toys and models and consequently the arrangement of exhibits varies during the year, making the displays of interest to returning visitors.

The number of volunteers has increased with a core group of 10. The use of volunteers continues to be key in the running of the museum and their time and effort is very much appreciated.

In September 2023 the museum sponsored the Sidmouth Chamber of Commerce Classic Car Show and in return was given a pitch to market the museum. This was very successful as two pedal cars were also displayed, which attracted a lot of attention and generated further interest in the museum.

The car park income remains stable and there continues to be a long waiting list for spaces. In addition, the cottage attached to the museum was rented out for part of the year thus achieving an unbudgeted income of £2,840.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024


Plans for 2024-25

The budget for museum income has been slightly increased for 2024-25 reflecting the expected increase in visitor numbers. As noted above, we will continue to focus on school visits and seek to engage with local clubs and societies to make visits to the museum.

The trustees agreed not to increase the admission fee this year, for the third year in a row and will rely instead on increased visitor numbers to meet rising costs.

We plan to repeat the sponsorship of the Sidmouth Classic Car Show and plan to open the museum on the same day as there are likely to be visitors to the town who would like to visit both events.

We do not expect the cottage to be rented this year and consequently no budget has been set for this. Car parking spaces have been increased by one, so the budget has been increased to reflect this. We do not plan to increase the costs per parking space this year.

No major change to the museum is planned for the year, however we are looking to increase the number of trustees to provide a viable succession plan.

Financial review

The Charity received donations, grants and other income worth £24,659 (£19,769 in 2023) in the year. As at 29 February 2024, the Charity carried forward a positive bank balance of £30,017 (£19,167 in 2023).

In accordance with SORP 2019, costs have been allocated between direct charitable activities and support costs. In summary, direct charitable activities totaled £540 (£55 in 2023) and support costs totaled £12,966 (£21,394 in 2023).

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024


Public Benefit

As a charity, The Sidmouth Toy and Model Museum must be able to demonstrate that its objects and activities are for the public benefit as required by the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees have all reviewed the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and have ensured that the Sidmouth Toy and Model Museum’s objects and activities comply with this statutory requirement. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

This report explains our main activities and achievements in carrying out our aims.

Governance and internal control

The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:

Day-to-day decisions continue to be taken by two trustees. All items of expenditure required the approval of two trustees before payment is made. The bank account is reconciled monthly and management accounts are reviewed by the trustees on a regular basis.

Risk management

The Board of Trustees are fully aware of the need to assess the risks faced by the charity and to minimise those risks. These are events/outcomes that may have a severe impact on operational performance, achievement of aims and objectives or reputation. During the fiscal year the Trustees have discussed such Risks and continue to maintain and update the Risk Register.

The main risk facing the charity is physical damage to a member of the public when visiting the museum. This risk continues to be mitigated by securing all exhibits appropriately, providing signage about the uneven floor, yellow and black tape at the edge of steps and monitoring of visitor activity by the volunteers. The trustees undertake informal ad hoc reviews to confirm that the mitigating controls remain in place. The trustees also have Public Liability Insurance.

The trustees have reviewed and confirmed that controls that exist to mitigate against possible financial loss.

Reserves policy

Trustees are committed to generating sufficient reserves to support current charitable activities to meet the following requirements:

Safeguard the charity’s service commitment in the event of delays in receipt of grants or other income. Providing a financial cushion against risk and future uncertainties. Resourcing the research and development of services and initiatives.

Free Reserves (Unrestricted funds less fixed assets) amounted to £29,291 at the year-end (£18,138 in 2023). The charity’s Reserves Target continues to be set at £5,000.

Going Concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charities forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

THE SIDMOUTH TOY AND MODEL MUSEUM

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accountings in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effect from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in Charities SORP FRS102 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charity.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b) Going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of going concern is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

The charity starts the year with a healthy bank balance and has prepared a budget for the forthcoming year which clearly shows that income is forecast to exceed expenses. It is thought that the charity is well placed to achieve another successful year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024


c) Critical accounting judgements and estimates

No significant judgements, accounting policies or assumptions have been made by management in applying the Charity’s accounting policies.

d) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

e) Debtors

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

f) Creditors and provisions

Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

g) Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objective of the charitable company.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes.

h) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are valued on the Balance Sheet date using the Trustees’ best estimate of the fair value at the Balance Sheet date. No depreciation is provided due to immateriality. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

There has been a change of accounting policy to the Revaluation model during the year ended 29 February 2024. This will provide a more reliable and appropriate valuation of the freehold property, with regular valuations completed.

The impact of the above in the accounts for the year ended 29 February 2024 is that the Freehold Property has been uplifted to its current valuation of £400,000 in line with the Trustees’ best estimate of the current fair value. Please see Note 4 for further details.

An adjustment has been carried out in the year ended 29 February 2024 to reflect the fact that the £24,000 of depreciation previously accounted for should not have been posted as a result of using the Revaluation model. Please see Note 9 for further details.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024


i) Investment Property

Investment property consists of the cottage and is valued on the Balance Sheet date using the Trustees’ best estimate of the fair value at the Balance Sheet date. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

j) Income

Income is accounted for as unrestricted unless restrictions exist under the terms on which they are received or solicited. Voluntary income, Cottage rental income and donations are accounted for on an accruals basis. Car park income is accounted for on a receivables basis. income in the Statement of Financial Activities is shown gross of the associated costs and is accounted for where there is entitlement to the income, it is probable that the benefits associated with it will flow to the charity and it can be reliably measured.

Donations, including donations from individuals, corporate donations, and donations from trusts and foundations are recognised when the charity is entitled to the income, subject to any conditions attached to the donation.

There were no unfulfilled conditions or contingencies in respect of any of the above donations.

k) Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of resources.

l) Heritage Assets

The Museum consist of a collection of vintage toys and models. The items from the collection are on display to the public in the museum. The charity manages these assets by way of an internal register and regularly reviews them to ensure they are adequately safeguarded and preserved.

The items are managed and inspected regularly by staff. New acquisitions take place only if the Trustees deem the item of significant value to the collection.

Heritage assets are not included on the Balance Sheet as information on their cost or valuation is not readily available and such information cannot be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit to the users of the accounts and to the charity.

m) Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Fixed assets are recorded at depreciated historical cost. All other assets and liabilities are recorded at cost which is their fair value.

9. PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT

A prior year adjustment has been made to reflect the Invesment Property correctly within the accounts. It was previously understood that the Investment Property was included within the original Freehold Property valuation of £400,000. When it was transferred from Freehold Property to Investment Property in the 2023 accounts, the Net Book Value of the Cottage was £144,000. Therefore, in the original 2023 accounts, an amount of £144,000 was removed from Freehold Property and put into Investment Property. This resulted in a figure of £144,000 being shown on the Balance Sheet for Investment Property and £235,000 for Freehold Property (being the cost carried forward of £250,000 less the depreciation carried forward of £15,000).

However, as the cottage did not form part of the initial £400,000 valuation of Freehold Property, this should not have been removed from Tangible Fixed Assets in the 2023 accounts but rather it should have been introduced separately as a donation at its valuation of £150,000 when it was donated to the charity in 2021.

Therefore, a prior year adjustment has been carried out to correct the position. The impact of this on the Balance Sheet is that the restated 2023 figures show a Tangible Assets amount of £376,000 and an Investment Property amount of £150,000 being its original valuation when it was donated to the charity. The impact of this is that the Funds Carried Forward amount as at 28 February 2023 has increased by £147,000 as reflected on the Prior Year Adjustment line of the Statement of Financial Activities. The £3,000 difference between the figures above relates to the additional depreciation that should have been charged on the Freehold Property in the 2023 accounts had the cost been carried forward at its correct value of £400,000. The funds carried forward as at 28 February 2023 should therefore have been £544,138. This is also outlined in the table below.

Furthermore, a further adjustment of £24,000 has been made in the current year to reflect the change in accounting policy of Freehold Property from a Cost Model to a Revaluation Model. This reflects the fact that depreciation should not have been provided for on Freehold Property in prior years. This is also reflected on the Prior Year Adjustment line of the Statement of Financial Activities and increases the total funds carried forward as at 29 February 2024 by £24,000. Please see Accounting Policy h) for further information.
