THE GUARDS MUSEUM TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the 1 January 2020 to �1 December 2020�

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 U� and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)�

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The objects of the charity as set out in the trust deed are�

�Educating the public including members of the Household Division in the traditions of the Division and the memorialisation of its deeds��

The Guards Museum exists to tell the story of the development of the five Regiments of Her Majesty�s Foot Guards� It collects and preserves artefacts that represent these Regiments� rich history since 1642 to the present day�

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

The Museum in Central London is open daily and receives many visitors� Children are admitted free of charge and the museum welcomes many school groups� The Trustees aim to make the Museum accessible to everyone to learn about, enjoy and be inspired by the Foot Guards� The Museum is registered with Arts Council England (ACE) and received accreditation in 2008 and was successfully re accredited in 2012 and again in 2017�

c. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance �Public benefit� running a charity (PB2)��

The charity undertakes various activities in order to raise funds for the work of the Museum� Many of these are now undertaken in a wholly owned trading subsidiary which donates all of its profits to the Trust�

THE GUARDS MUSEUM TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Achievements and performance

a. Key performance indicators

The accounts show a surplus, excluding restricted funds, of �8,725 (2019 - ���,782)� After allowing for unrealised gains and losses on the investments, the overall net movement on funds was a current year deficit of �4,918 (2019 - �118,844 surplus)�

In addition funds of �1,61� (2019 - �57) were received for the Flanders Fields Memorial Garden project� As the project has now concluded the trustees have decided to release any remaining restricted funds balance to the unrestricted reserves�

During the period the Charity was gift aided �1,859 (2019� �101) by its 100� trading subsidiary�

The Trust�s reserves have historically been accumulated slowly over the years as unrestricted funds� The unrestricted reserves are held to maintain continuity and financial stability for the Museum and to provide funds for the purchase of artefacts as additions to the collection�

The charity�s reserves at �1 December 2020 were �989,611 (2019 - �994,529)� The reserves are principally held as investments with a further amount held as working capital for the trading activities and are considered adequate by the trustees�

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future� For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements�

The trustees are mindful of the severe impact of the Global pandemic� To mitigate the effects of this unprecedented phenomenon the museum has taken full advantage of the government�s financial assistance in the form of the staff furlough scheme and the subsequent job security scheme� We have also suspended all project work and have reduced our operating costs to the absolute minimum� Every care and attention is being paid to the wellbeing of our staff and the security and care of the collection during the enforced closure of the museum� Through historic prudence in our financial management we have funds in place to see the museum through this period of uncertainty�

b. Reserves policy

�ur current reserves would provide for at least three years of trading without any revenue�

The deliberate policy to build up the trust fund as our �rainy day fund� has been prudent in that the Global pandemic has certainly proved to be calamitous for the heritage sector� The museum will continue to keep sufficient funds in place to allow for at least two years of trading without revenue going forward�

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Guards Museum Trust is a registered charity, number 278181, and is constituted under a Trust deed�

THE GUARDS MUSEUM TRUST

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Guards Museum Trust ('the Group')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the consolidated accounts of the Group comprising the The Guards Museum Trust (�the parent charity�) and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended �1 December 2020�

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the parent charity you are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated accounts of the Group in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (�the 2011 Act�) and you have chosen to prepare consolidated accounts for the Group� �ou are satisfied that the accounts of both parent charity and the Group are not required by charity law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination�

I report in respect of my examination of the consolidated accounts carried out under section 152 of the Charities Act (�the 2011 Act�)� In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 152(5)(b) of the 2011 Act�

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the accounts� The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide� Consequently I express no option as to whether the consolidated accounts present a �true and fair� view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner�s statement�

THE GUARDS MUSEUM TRUST

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Independent examiner's statement

�our attention is drawn to the fact that the Group has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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 U� and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities� Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn�

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015�

I have completed my examination� I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe�

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached�

This report is made solely to the charity�s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011� My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity�s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner�s report and for no other purpose� To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the parent charity and the charity�s Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report�

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1. General information

The Guards Museum Trust is a charity, registered in England and Wales� The charity�s registered office address is Household Division Funds, Horse Guards, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2A��

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities S�RP (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 U� and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the U� and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011�

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 Charities S�RP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities� Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn�

The Guards Museum Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102� Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy�

The Consolidated statement of financial activities (S�FA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking� The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis�

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably�

Grants are included in the Consolidated statement of financial activities on a receivable basis� The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet� Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income� Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued�

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable�

The premises in which the museum operates out of are donated by the Ministry of Defence� As the premises would not be rented out for any other activity other than that of the museum it is not possible to attach a market rate to the transaction�

THE GUARDS MUSEUM TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity� The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity� Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity� Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources� Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset�s use�

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading�

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group�s objectives, as well as any associated support costs�

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT�

2.� Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Consolidated statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned� �ther grants are credited to the Consolidated statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred�

2.� Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group� this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited�

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost� After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses� All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost�

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, �

Depreciation is provided on the following bases�

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment� Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as �Gains�(Losses) on investments� in the Consolidated statement of financial activities�

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment�

2.8 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks� Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads�

2.� Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered� Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due�

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account�

2.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably�

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide�

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation� Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability� The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost�

2.12 Financial instruments

The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments� Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method�

2.13 Pensions

The Group contributes into a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year�
