The Costume Society

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objects of the Society are to promote, for the benefit of the public, education in dress throughout the ages and to encourage conservation of historic examples of dress together with relevant source material.

The Society furthers its charitable purposes through its grants and awards, together with its annual conference, study days and visits, its peer reviewed journal "Costume" published twice a year and its members newsletters as well as its website and social media activities.

The Trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when considering all of the Society's activities.

Grants and Awards

The Society has established a number of grants and awards, many of which have been made possible by generous bequests to the Society.

The Elizabeth Hammond Conservation Grant, created with a bequest from the estate of Elizabeth Hammond, a founder member and former trustee of the the Society, promotes museum conservation and display of clothing and clothing related textiles of all periods, styles and places of origin, held in the permanent collection of Accredited Museums in the UK with an annual turnover of up to and around £750,000. Preference is given to museums with dress and associated textile objects of local or national significance but with limited or no in-house conservation resources.

Student Grants and Awards

The Museum Work Experience Grant is intended to support students seeking work experience with a clothing / fashion / dress / costume collection and to help UK museums accomplish projects essential to the care, knowledge and interpretation of these types of collections.

The Yarwood Research Grant commemorates the work of dress historian and former chair of the Society, Doreen Yarwood. This grant helps an MA student enrolled at a British institution, engaged in high quality research in to the history of dress and / or textiles, with expenditure relating to the completion of their dissertation.

The Patterns of Fashion Award honours the work of dress historian, Janet Arnold, a founder member of the Society. This competitive award is open to students studying on costume and fashion-related education courses that involve the design and realisation of costume. Participants produce a reconstructed garment from a pattern in one of Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion book series or C17th Women's Dress Patterns books 1 & 2 edited by Susan North & Jenny Tiramani.

The Patterns for Performance Award - launched in 2019, this award encourages students to design a period garment for a character in a performance. Like the Patterns of Fashion this is a competitive award and is open to students studying at second-year undergraduate level and above, including post-graduate students.The starting point for the design should be a Janet Arnold period pattern from the Patterns of Fashion book series.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

2021 was another challenging year, but once again the publication of the Society's journal "Costume" continued, with two further editions including a range of articles showcasing research by both UK-based and international researchers. The Society's website was given a complete overhaul and refresh which has been very popular and made "behind the scenes" access much easier for the committee. The website continues to be kept up to date with regular blog posts by the Society's Ambassadors who are part of our ongoing programme to encourage students and emerging fashion historians with the opportunity to reach a wide audience via blog posts and help to promote the Society across all of its social media platforms. Our members newsletter has been re-branded as a twice yearly members magazine "The Thread" with the first edition published in December 2021 with its greater focus on members' contributions very well received. We are pleased to continue to receive a number of strong applications for all our student grants and awards, and though the ongoing pandemic has meant some continued delays in work placements all recipients of 2020 and 2021 awards have now completed their placements. As a result of the disruption to the work of museums caused by the pandemic, the Society received no applications for the Elizabeth Hammond Conservation Grant during the year; the available funding has been carried forward for future applications and we are actively promoting this grant. In-person events were not possible in 2021 but the online reading group sessions with previous "costume" journal authors continued. We also held a successful online event celebrating the life and dress collection of the later Peter Farrer. The Society's Annual conference on the theme of "Clothing on Paper" moved online. Held over 4 sessions on Saturday afternoons and Wednesday evenings in June and July, the conference was a great success and the 4 session format worked well. An online conference achieves more affordable ticket pricing and enables us to reach a wider and more diverse audience both in the UK and internationally, so this format will be continued in future years.In 2021 we were also able to incorporate an additional session in the conference programme to celebrate the Patterns of Fashion and Patterns for Performance Awards and all the finalists so that their work could be appreciated by a wider audience.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Review and Investment Policy

In 2021 the Society was fortunate that the pandemic did not adversely affect our finances. Events moved online, the conference was a great success and our investments achieved strong capital growth enabling the continued funding of the Society grants and awards. In December 2021 the society received the major part of a substantial bequest from the estate of long-standing member Anne Thomas; £200,000 was paid to us just before the end of the year, with a further amount of around £52,500 expected in 2022 and also reported in these accounts. Anne's will did not restrict the spending of her bequest in any way. The Trustees, supported by the wider Executive Committee, are currently working through a range of ideas as to how best to use these funds in furtherance of the Charity's aims.

It is pleasing to note that we continue to increase the number of individual society members which is reflected in the increased income from members subscriptions. These increased subscriptions, the overall surplus on our conference and events together with the continued cost savings from holding Committee and Trustee meetings online meant that the Society achieved a small surplus for the year on the general unrestricted fund (before the receipt of the Anne Thomas bequest).

We are pleased that the ideas implemented in 2020 and 2021, moving the conference online, updating the website and re-branding our members magazine as well as reviewing and updating our social media, have made the Society more accessible to a wider and more diverse audience. Equality, diversity and inclusivity is now considered in every aspect of the Society's work.

The Society's annual conference and events programme are expected to break even across the whole year. Our various publications, website and ongoing administration costs are met by members annual subscriptions and royalties form the journal. The Society's student grants and awards, subsidised under 27 and student attendance at the annual conference together with the Elizabeth Hammond Conservation Grant are all supported by the Society's Managed Investment Funds. Our investment advisors, Attivo Financial Planning, work with LGT Vestra who administer two separate Managed Investment Funds on the Society's behalf. They are instructed to maximise the total return within the constraints of a low to medium risk investment portfolio. Our grants and awards are funded by a combination of income and capital growth.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves

The Trustees periodically review the Society's general reserves to consider sums required for current and future liabilities. The Trustees continued aim is to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to between six and twelve months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. At 31.12.21, the Society held £286,738 in its general unrestricted reserves. This unusually high level of unrestricted funds was a direct result of the bequest of £252,500. The Trustees, supported by the wider Executive Committee, are currently working through a range of ideas as to how best to use these funds to support the charity's work.The Society's restricted funds totalled £395,507, made up of £201,114 in the Conservation Grant fund which supports the Society's annual Conservation Award and £194,393 in the Jubilee Grants & Awards fund which funds the Society's various student grants and awards.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Costume Society

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

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 the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Raising funds

The costs of generating funds consist of investment management costs.

Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities include grants and awards made together with all directly attributable costs of other charitable activities.

Governance costs

Governance costs are the costs incurred by the charity in meeting its legal and statutory obligations.

Intangible fixed assets

Amortisation is provided at the following rate in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Website 20% straight line basis

At each balance sheet date, the charity reviews the carrying amount of its intangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the charity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31st December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Fixed asset investments

Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains / (losses) on investments' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.

Debtors and Creditors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
