## **Annual Report & Accounts for 2020-21 for Carisbrooke Castle Museum CIO Charity Number 1188568.** 

- Carisbrooke Castle Museum CIO was established on 16[th] March 2020 on the advice of the National Museums Accreditation Scheme. 

- It is intended to replace the existing Carisbrooke Castle Museum Trust (Charity Number 310002) as a more appropriate legal vehicle for the Trust’s ongoing activities. 

- It shares the same Charitable Objects and Trustees of the original Trust. 

- As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, however, the Museum was closed, and all staff largely furloughed during the majority of March 2020 - April 2021 and so no progress was made in transferring the assets of the original Trust to the new CIO. 

- It is anticipated that this activity will now take place during the Financial Year April 2021 - March 2022. 

- As a result, it should be noted that the new CIO **undertook no activity, financial or otherwise, during the period 2020-21.**
