THE SIDMOUTH TOY AND MODEL MUSEUM
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026
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 111 days (111 days in 2024-25) and the average attendance per day was 41 (39.5 in 2024-25). The museum did not open during December as originally planned.
We continue to engage with local schools and undertook one visit to a school, and five school visits were made to the museum.
Talks were also given to the following organisations throughout the year:
-
Sidmouth Hospice at Home
-
Sidmouth Memory Café
-
Young at Hearts Club
-
Sidmouth Volunteer Service
-
Whimple History Society
We continue to receive donations and old toys and models, although given capacity issues we do not take all items offered to us.
We continue to extensively rely on our volunteers who do a great job in supporting the museum throughout the year. We have increased our active volunteer pool to 17.
In September 2025 the museum sponsored the Sidmouth Chamber of Commerce Classic Car Show and in return was given a pitch to market the museum. This was a successful event as the museum was also open on the same day, allowing members of the public to attend both events.
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 in the summer providing an income of £1,020.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026
Plans for 2026-27
The budget for 2026-27 is similar to that of the previous year. We continue to monitor overheads closely but do expect some significant expenditure on maintaining the building. We plan to open for 113 days during the year and will be closed from 30 October 2026 to 21 March 2027.
The trustees decided not to increase the admission fee this year and expect rising costs to be met by increased visitor numbers.
We plan to rent out the cottage again throughout the year and have set a budget of £800.
We are pleased that James Gregory BA MA has joined the trustees. James has worked in the charity sector for over four years and brings a current knowledge of the sector to the trust. This meets our succession plans for the immediate future, but we continue to look for local trustees to join us.
Financial review
The Charity received donations, grants and other income worth £23,728 (£21,645 in 2025) in the year. As at 28 February 2026, the Charity carried forward a positive bank balance of £47,843 (£38,610 in 2025).
In accordance with SORP 2019, costs have been allocated between direct charitable activities and support costs. In summary, direct charitable activities totalled £633 (£93 in 2025) and support costs totalled £13,988 (£13,308 in 2025).

THE SIDMOUTH TOY AND MODEL MUSEUM
TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026
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:
-
The trustees being responsible for the strategic direction of the Charity and, subject to any prudent delegation to advisers, and agents, make all substantive decisions in relation to the Charity. The trustees are not remunerated;
-
Regular consideration by the Board of Trustees of financial results and non-financial indicator reviews;
-
Prudent delegation of authority and segregation of duties;
-
• Identification and management of risks.
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.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026
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 continue to be 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 uneven floor, yellow and black tape at the edge of steps and monitoring of visitor activity by volunteers. The trustees undertake informal ad hoc reviews to confirm that the mitigating controls remain in place. The trustees also have a Public Liability Insurance of £5 million.
The trustees have reviewed and confirmed that appropriate controls exist 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 £46,642 at the year-end (£37,535 in 2025). 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 28 FEBRUARY 2026
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 28 FEBRUARY 2026
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 was 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 28 February 2026 was that the Freehold Property was uplifted to its current valuation of £575,000 in line with the Trustees’ best estimate of the current fair value. Please see Note 4 for further details.

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.
