Treasurer’s Report 2025 

## These are the items of significance for the year: 

## Income 

- Donations rose from £2,352 to £2,503, 58% of that being donated digitally. The bee infestation near the start of the season will have had a negative impact on donations, so the end result was surprisingly good. Gift aid rose accordingly, to £718. 

- Subscription income fell from £445 to £388, 

- Book sales rose from £357 to £550. 

## Expenditure 

- Website costs rose from £144 to £457 because an invoice covering 2026 costs was presented towards the end of 2025. 

- Equipment costs fell from £1,346 to £216 - this type of expenditure doesn’t have a regular pattern. 

- Event costs were up from £103 to £818; again, such costs are irregular. 

- We have not received any claim from English Heritage in the last year towards alarm call out costs (£220 in 2024). 

## Conclusion 

In the year, we made a small surplus of £208 (£458 in 2024), so the Museum continues to be self-supporting. 

Year end funds are £3,220 (Current account) and £19,279 (Savings) 

## Legacy 

During 2025 we received correspondence from a local solicitor indicating that the Museum had been named as one beneficiary amongst others in a personal will.  The distribution will likely happen later in 2026, at which point we will confirm details of the donor and amount.
