DERBYSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Purpose as set out in the governing document

The objects of the Society shall be the study of the archaeology and history of the County of Derby and allied subjects, the publication of original papers and documents, and the holding of meetings of an educational nature to disseminate information about those subjects.

Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit

The Trustees believe that in undertaking these activities they have taken due regard of the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. The society is entirely run by volunteers.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Public lectures

2022 represented a return to something approaching normality following two years of severely curtailed activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and we were able to run a full programme of lectures and hold our Annual General Meeting in a traditional in-person format.

Experience of online lectures using Zoom during the restricted period has demonstrated the appetite for this format from members and the wider public, and we now aim to hold most of our Winter Programme lectures as ‘hybrid’ events. The numbers attending in-person grew and online participation declined during the course of the year as restrictions were relaxed, but the online numbers remain substantial, making the overall attendance significantly higher than pre-Covid. The offer of online places to the general public via the Eventbrite online booking platform continues to improve our public profile and has attracted new members. Where possible we also record the lectures and make them available online for a limited period as a ‘catch up’ facility for anyone who missed the live event.

The number and diversity of the topics during the year reflect the range of interests and the efforts that our volunteer organisers put into securing speakers:

DAS Annual Report 2022: page 2 of 6

Visits and other activities

We were also able to run a full Summer Programme of 13 events this year. We introduced online booking for the first time, and this enabled us to make a public offering of any places that were not taken up by members.

Library

The society’s library at the Strutts Centre in Belper opened twice a month throughout the year. The footfall has been steady on the normal opening days and when these days have been busy then there is a good ‘feel’ in the room. Linking the library opening with talks in a room opposite the library has been helpful and has made it easy for people to drop in, with lots of positive comments about the size and range of the collection. During the year 166 books and journals have been out on loan. 84 new items have been added to the collection of which 25 have been bought and the rest by donation. A quarterly PDF newsletter highlights opening times, a selection of new books and articles by members about books in the collection.

Research and restoration grants

During the year a contribution of £447.11 was made towards the restoration of the sundial on the Etwall Almshouses. This was an award from the Monica Pilling Fund. Members of the Society may apply for a grant of up to £2000 to assist in research or for a project aligned to the objects of the Society.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position at the year end

Income from donations, grants, subscriptions etc £29,889 Expenses for charitable activities, support and governance costs £39,419 Net incoming resources £(9,530)

Reserves policy and amount of reserves held

It is the policy of the trustees to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity to a level which will equate to a minimum of 6 months unrestricted expenditure. This is designed to provide sufficient funds to cover ongoing administration costs of the charity. As shown in the balance sheet, unrestricted reserves at £148,834 are well in excess of this policy.

DAS Annual Report 2022: page 4 of 6

Details of any fund materially in deficit

No fund was in material deficit at end of the year,

Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern

The Trustees are satisfied that the society remains a going concern in terms of membership and finance, but during the year a review of the governance, management and activities of the society was initiated to determine a strategy for the future.
