STATEMENT OF CHAIR OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024

The British Army distillation of the principles of war denotes selection and maintenance of the aim as the master principle. Echoing this entreaty Cumbria's Museum of Military Life's (CMoML) vision continues to drive actions. The vision informs the actions of the CMoML community including the trustees, staff, volunteers, friends and other informal supporters, numbering close to 200 overall. The community is continuing to fulfil the vision and this report illustrates that.

Over this last year we have shared the collection with over 40,000 visitors in real life, and a growing number through our digital activities. The trustees think it fair to say that the museum is locally and regionally renowned, enjoying the positive support of regional media, government, educational organisations and the military. The detail is set out within this report, as trustees we highlight that the Museum is:

o A Hub of vibrant communities of interest. These range from veterans, through work with a local Afghan refugee organisation, 30 schools, a leading light within the Northern group of military museums, and a key part of the local museum network.

o A focal point for visitors to Carlisle and Cumbria. Our strong visitor numbers (40k+) are supported by hundreds of positive reviews online, in person, by letter. Many identify CMoML as being the strongest element of interest within Carlisle Castle.

o A strong support to the military community, with a focus on the current and antecedent regiments. Our healthy Friends of the Museum organisation, volunteer programme, programme of veterans events (10 lunches and two weekend events) together with a wide range of informal interactions evidence the importance of the museum to the military community.

2023 was another strong year for the Museum. Although this is the result of myriad efforts the board recognise that the museum team are at the heart of our success. The tireless hard work and dedication of the Museum team is exemplary. Their enthusiasm hard work and adaptability are superb. The trustees are very grateful for all their efforts.,

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Statement of Purpose:

Our mission is: Through diligent stewardship of its collections, Cumbria's Museum of Military Life tells the story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, enriching people's lives in our local, regional, international specialist and military communities of interest.

Our Core Values , as Trustees, Staff, Volunteers and Friends we share these values for the Museum:

People - our visitors, donors, military community and local and regional community are why we exist - to enrich their lives > Stewardship - we are the current custodians of the collection, we value it for now and the future, and we endeavour to ensure it is cared for to the best possible standard so that it remains available to fulfil our mission

Learning - we value learning ourselves and continually seek to enhance our knowledge and try to help others learn in formal and informal settings.

Curiosity - We take a strong interest in our collection and enhancing it, and the communities we serve - we want to know more about them, this underpins our learning and helps us to create exhibitions and events which stimulate curiosity in others to enable them to understand the meaning and relevance of the military experience.

Our underpinning values: As people we will behave with

Integrity and accountability

Commitment and loyalty to the Museum and

We will serve our community with respect for each other and all our visitors.

Our vision is:

By sharing a locally and regionally renowned collection of military history the museum becomes:

A Hub of vibrant communities of interest

A focal point for visitors to Carlisle and Cumbria.

A strong support to the military community, with a focus on the current and antecedent regiments

The Organisation:

The Museum was originally established within Carlisle Castle in 1932 by Officers of the Border Regiment to house the military collections of the local infantry regiment 'The Border Regiment', to promote its traditions and showcase its history. As the collections grew, the Museum relocated within the Castle, and on 8 May 1976, the King's Own Royal Border Regiment Museum Trust was established. The Museum was granted Accredited Status in September 2019 and is recognised as an Accredited Museum by Arts Council England (No. 435).

Operating as Cumbria's Museum of Military Life (CMoML), the Museum is still situated within Carlisle Castle, a scheduled ancient monument which houses the former barrack buildings of the Border Regiment Depot. The Museum is currently located in Alma Block, the former Regimental Institute, moving to its present location in 2014 with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Museum building is occupied under the terms of a lease held by the Museum Trustees from Historic England/English Heritage, who manage Carlisle Castle as a visitor attraction and as a monument in care. The Museum opens to the public every day from April to November, and weekends from November to February. From February to Easter the Museum opens six days a week excluding Friday.

The Museum has a ground floor exhibition space of 278 square metres with a permanent display showcasing the history of the County Infantry Regiment and its soldiers past and present. There is a small shop and a café (operated by John Watts & Sons from Easter to the end of October). A flexible first floor space of 80 square metres enables the museum to install temporary exhibitions, deliver education workshops and host events.

A part-time Learning Assistant funded by the Heritage Fund resigned in January 2023. The MoD also fund certain utility costs within the Museum. All other operational costs are funded by the Charity.

Our 2019 Museum Forward plan established six main objectives in support of achieving our vision. These remain our guide for all activities, and we monitor and evaluate performance in each.

  1. Provide a broad and varied engagement programme.

  2. Manage and care for the Museum Collections

  3. Provide high quality user services.

  4. Become resilient and sustainable.

  5. Develop the capability of the Board of Trustees, staff and volunteers.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

1. Provide a Broad and Varied Engagement Programme (Mar 23 - Feb 24):

Our engagement programme connects with local schools, communities, and audiences throughout this period. Our regular schools' workshops saw 30 schools visit to learn about the First and Second World Wars, and Remembrance. In total, 1,147 pupils attended school sessions at the Museum.

The Museum continued to engage with veterans and our monthly Veterans Lunch provided a welcoming venue for ex-service personnel to come together in an informal setting, subsidised by local supermarkets and charitable donations. 418 veterans attended 12 lunches between March and February. Museum staff attended Association meetings ensuring a direct connection to veterans' organisations within Cumbria an important network to support our vision.

Our monthly Tuesday talks programme hosted a variety of speakers bringing a range of military-related topics to the area. The Tuesday talks held between March and February saw an attendance of 326.

Throughout the school holidays, the Museum delivered 12 free creative workshops with a varied programme of activity including engaging with over 330 attendees with a varied make your own medal and designing your own toy soldier. The Museum also worked with Cumberland Council to provide a Winter-themed event for local refugee families with over 55 attendees.

The Museum organised its second Military Festival in 2023, with a military encampment in the Castle grounds, family activities, as well as hosting the Army Cadets, 4LANCS, The Royal British Legion and the Carlisle branch of the Regimental Association. Over 570 visitors attended the event throughout the weekend.

2. Manage and care for the Museum Collections:

The Museum continues to care for its collections Over 24,000 items are recorded on the MODES database including photographs, archives, books, and artefacts. Volunteers continue to support staff inputting data into MODES. All acquisitions fall within the scope of the Museum's Acquisitions and Disposals Policy.

Staff and volunteers look after our collections, regularly checking and maintaining them. During 2023, we held a temporary exhibition Commanding Images showcasing paintings and pictures from the stores, some on display to the public for the first time. The exhibition also saw the redisplay of Protais' 1861 oil painting of the Soldiers of the 34th Playing Skittles before Sebastapol recently returned from the Lancashire Conservation Studios.

The Museum also loaned The Milton Shield to Ambleside's Armitt Museum for display in their temporary exhibition Running Int' Fells.

3. Provide high quality user services:

The Museum welcomed 44,502 visitors to Alma Block during this period. Our Front desk staff provide a high level of customer service to enhance the visitor experience. We continue to work with English Heritage to provide a site-wide offer and operate a successful joint admission ticket to enable visitors to view both Carlisle Castle and the Museum. The Museum promoted activity and events through the local newspapers, local radio and staff were interviewed on Border TV. This included coverage of our annual Veterans' Christmas Lunch.

The Museum continues to offer a research service for family history enquiries. 18 paid enquiries were completed during this period.

4. Become resilient and sustainable:

The Museum continues to deliver a National Lottery Heritage Fund project to make it more sustainable. 'Resilient Alma' runs to 2025 and funding this year has enabled us work with consultants to review our retail offer, refresh the Museum leaflet and begin to overhaul our website.

During this period, the Museum team have worked with a variety of partners including Cumberland Council and Carlisle Refugee Advisory Group (CRAG) on a project involving Afghan refugees. The team have also worked with Helping Hands on developing volunteering opportunities at the Museum. We also worked with English Heritage, Carlisle Cathedral and Tullie Museum on a city-wide Heritage Open Day initiative.

5. Develop the capability of the Board of Trustees, staff, and volunteers:

Page 6

THE KING'S OWN ROYAL BORDER REGIMENT MUSEUM FUND

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 FEBRUARY 2024

Funding from the Heritage Fund enabled a staff member to continue a part-time AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting course. Over the past 12 months, staff have undertaken Collections-related training, Introduction to Museum Learning, Museum interpretation training and the Welcome Host course.

Volunteers continue to play an important part in the Museum undertaking a variety of tasks including general maintenance, reception duties, data input, holiday workshops, veterans' lunches, collections care, exhibition and event support. 17 Volunteers have given over 400 hours of their time between March 2023 and February 2024.

6. Enhance our digital presence:

With the assistance of the Heritage Fund, we have worked with locally based consultants to review our website and social media. Over 12500 people visited our website during this period. We regularly interact on social media, and Museum staff have shared collection stories and promoted activities though our social media accounts with 42813 visitors to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Digital engagement remains a priority objective in our Forward Plan.

RISK

Our forward plan includes a risk register. This is actively reviewed by the trustees during board meetings, measures to control risk and prepare to mitigate impacts are discussed. The most significant risks to the museum relate to generating income and gaining funding from other sources. Consistent effort over the last 3 years since Covid sees the museum in a sustainable position, and able to reconstitute a reserve. In addition, the Army has selected the museum for continued funding beyond 2030. The trustees and staff remain energetic in pursuit of resources to enable us to fulfil our vision.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

2022-2023 is the first full financial year that has been: clear of Covid closures; under the new management structure including café arrangements; using revised ticketing arrangements with English heritage; and the implementation of Xero bookkeeping for financial control. All of these changes have bedded in and are reflected in a much stronger financial situation. Museum activities are now sustainably supported by income generated from: visitors; retail activities; grants; and donor support. In FY2023/2024 the trustees will re-establish a formal reserve based on a revised strategic risk assessment. Improvements in financial control will continue through staff training and improvements in financial governance through a dashboard approach.

The overall responsibility for the accounts is dealt with by Mr Luke tattersall of Tattersall Bailey Chartered Accountants.

The attached accounts comply with the current statutory requirements and with the requirements of the charity's governing instrument.
