## **The Milverton & District Archive** (Registered Charity no 1200287) 

## **Annual Report of the Trustees 2025-26** 

Since the last AGM in September 2025, the MDA has successfully launched a new litewebsite which has provided a platform for information, news updates, and an increase in enquiries for the MDA to respond. 

A significant advance in the Audit of Accessions has been made with volunteers joining the Trustees in a weekly two-hour project running for eight weeks over the Summer months, facilitated by the award earlier this year of a £200 grant from the Milverton Parish Council. 

Much of the Archive remains in a temporary location and efforts are being made to relocate as necessary. The Trustees now run a Friends of MDA and a separate fund-raising project which has the potential to generate significant and welcome income. 

On behalf of the board, _Guy Hannaford_ Chairman of Trustees
