Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 9 April 2022

Cecil Higgins Art Gallery

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 9 April 2022. 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 principal objective of the Charity is to be a Museum of Art (including decorative and applied as well as fine art) for the benefit, interest and education of the inhabitants of and visitors to Bedford. The Trustees have power to apply the income of the Trust Fund towards this objective including the purchase of works for the collections.

The assets are held for the purposes set out in the Codicil. The current value of the collections is very substantially more than the book cost shown in the note to the accounts.

Significant activities

Visitor numbers in 2021/22 were 16,939, with recovery in audience levels gradually taking place following the Covid-19 pandemic. The Museum opened in full following the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in May 2021, with measures continuing to be in place to help ensure the safety of visitors, volunteers and staff, including reduced capacity and advance booking, before the gradual removal of all remaining restrictions. Exhibition, engagement and learning programmes resumed in full through a service-recovery plan implemented across the year.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives for the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The Charity generated income of £111,337 compared to £97,742 in 2020/21.

Investment managers charges, the cost of generating funds, amount to £14,705 (2020: £13,357). Governance costs increased from £11,982 (2021) to £24,998.

Investment policy and objectives

The Trustees’ Investment Advisors (Rathbones Investment Management Limited) are instructed to invest to endeavour to maintain both income and capital, in a medium risk investment portfolio.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have maintained sufficient free reserves of their unrestricted funds to provide for the future commitments referred to above.

FUTURE PLANS

The Trustees expect to continue to be involved in the conservation and insurance of the Museum exhibits and the acquisition of new exhibits.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The governing document of the Charity is the Codicil (“The Codicil”) dated 11 January 1938 to the Will of even date of Cecil Charles Norman Colburne Higgins (“Mr Higgins”) who died on 9 April 1941. By his Will, Mr Higgins left selected articles from his collections and the whole of the residue of his Estate upon the trusts declared in the Codicil for the purpose of assisting in the foundation of a Museum of Art ("the Museum") in his native town of Bedford.

i) The “First and Guiding Principle” of the Museum is to be a Museum of Art (including decorative and applied, as well as fine art) for the benefit, interest and education of the inhabitants of and visitors to Bedford.

ii) The Collections Development Policy was updated in 2015 as part of the Museum's Museum Accreditation Scheme return.

iii) The Museum was successful in securing full Accredited status under the Arts Council England Museum Accreditation Scheme in 2015.

iv) In accordance with the Codicil the Museum Collections are in the custody of Bedford Borough Council (“the Council”) for display in the Museum Building which is owned by the Council. The Art Gallery Board is required to consent to certain matters specified in the Codicil.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The power of appointment of new trustees is vested in the Trustees at their discretion.

Organisational structure

The Charity's affairs are conducted by the Trustees, with the consent of the Art Gallery Board for matters specified in the Codicil, with regular meetings generally at quarterly intervals. The Trustees consider investment, reserves, purchases and risk management policies.

The relationship with the Council is set out in the Codicil.

Decision making

The financial management of the Charity is controlled by the Trustees and the Charity’s Solicitors – Underwood Solicitors LLP.

Induction and training of new trustees

The Charity does not have a formal programme for the induction and training of new trustees.

Related parties

Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Cecil Higgins Art Gallery

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Cecil Higgins Art Gallery (the 'charity') for the year ended 9 April 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Page 5

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Cecil Higgins Art Gallery

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 6

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Cecil Higgins Art Gallery

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charity, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations and considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to achieve desired financial results and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included, but were not limited to:

-- enquiries with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;

-- understanding and evaluating the design and implementation of management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;

-- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;

-- identifying and testing journal entries;

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 9 April 2022

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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the 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.

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.

Where incoming resources have related expenditure the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Grants and donations are only included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Donated services and facilities are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

Investment income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Investment gains and losses includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 9 April 2022

1. Accounting policies - continued

Governance costs

Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated between those involved in persuing charitable activities and other support costs depending on their nature.

Heritage assets

The museum's collection of art (including decorative and applied as well as fine art) is reported in the balance sheet at cost. It is the museum's policy to maintain the collection to a high standard. The various pieces of art are deemed to have indeterminate lives and the trustees do not therefore consider it appropriate to charge depreciation. All acquisitions and disposals within the collection are subject to the approval of the trustees and of the Art Gallery Board. Acquisitions are made by purchase or donation. Purchases are recorded at cost and donations are recorded at current value, ascertained where possible with reference to commercial markets. Disposals are very rare and both acquisitions and disposals are subject to the Acquisition and Disposal Policy approved by the Art Gallery Board.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

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. They will only be created after the Trustees have voted to accept a restricted gift along with any stipulations placed on that gift by the donor. Restricted funds will only be used for the specified purpose unless the donor grants permission in writing to use it in another way. Restricted funds are shown in the accounts according to their nature, restricted income funds which must be spent to further some particular object of the charity; or restricted capital funds, where the assets must be invested or retained for actual use. All other funds are classified as unrestricted.

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