Section C Objectives and activities
| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The aim of the Association is to advance the education of the public in the County of Suffolk by the support and assistance of public museums and art galleries and their development. |
|---|---|
| The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and have strived to ensure that the Charity’s activities reflect this. For the public benefit, AFSMworked with 53 museums and associate members with related interests to help make Suffolk an attractive place to live, work and visit. The organisation worked in four main areas: 1. Provide support for museums in Suffolk The role of the Association continued to be vital in supporting museums in Suffolk to recover from the impact of ongoing Covid-19 restrictions. AFSM did not need to significantly adjust its financial or business planning, but it did need to listen carefully to the needs of its members and respond quickly to provide support where it was needed in ongoing extraordinary circumstances. 2. Act as a representative and advocate for museums in Suffolk AFSM worked closely with SHARE Museums East, National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and Arts Council England (ACE) in 2021-22 to ensure that funding was invested where it was needed most. Museum operations were restricted by ongoing Covid regulations. This has continued to have an impact on their ability to generate earned income through admissions, retail, catering, and events. 3. Attract and manage resources for the benefit of members The AFSM was directly awarded£127,032of external funding in 2021-22 to support a range of projects that meet its aims. 4.

| in 2021-22. Next steps grants helped museums recover from the Covid- 19 pandemic. Other grants also supported several museums in making improvements to their governance, secure new acquisitions, and support recruitment and retention of volunteers. Suffolk County Council awarded£84,409to 6 museums through the Covid Continuity Fund for Culture. The economic impact of visitors to Suffolk Museums was estimated to be at least £1,432,359 in 2019-20 (2021-22 Annual Museums Survey figures still to be compiled). This is a reduction of 88 percent on the previous year, demonstrating significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on museums and the need for AFSM support museums to rebuild their visitors and ensure they are again able to be a vital part of a vibrant, mixed economy. AFSM Full Members and Members were offered the opportunity to pay a £20 supplement on their membership fee to have their profile included in the Suffolk Museumsleaflet andwebsite.The leaflet was redesigned and reissued to support museums as the started to rebuild visitor numbers following closures due to the global pandemic. AFSM supports a range of joint promotional and advertising campaigns to encourage more people to visit museums. In 2021-22 AFSM placed Suffolk museums advertising features in Families Suffolk Magazine, East Suffolk Living Magazine, Celebrate Suffolk, Kingfisher Visitor Guides, Hospital Radio and Community Magazine, and Raring2Go Magazine. Editorials featured in the East Anglian Daily Times, Celebrate Framlingham, and Let’s Talk Magazine. AFSM created apromotional film with Archant to welcome people back to museums following the loosening of restrictions during the Covid pandemic. The promotional film was filmed across a selection of Suffolk Museums including Felixstowe Museum, Ipswich Transport Museum, Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum, National Horseracing Museum, Little Hall Lavenham, and The Long Shop Museum. The film can be viewed on the Suffolk Museums website homepage. 3.

| Ipswich Borough Council £ 2,000 Mid Suffolk District Council £ 1,500 Suffolk County Council £ 2,000 West Suffolk Council £ 2,000 Patricia and Llewela were commissioned by AfSM to work on a freelance basis to help deliver Suffolk Museum Partnership projects while the Suffolk Museum Project Officer post was vacant. Lucy joined as the new Museum Project Officer in February 2022. Lucy is employed on behalf of the partnership by Suffolk County Council, thanks to the £33,000 grant from SHARE Museums East. The Suffolk Museums Partnership has sustained the level of commitment to it from most partners as we move forward into 2022/23. There will be a £2,000 reduction in the grant from SHARE Museums East but the impact of this has been slightly eased by a one-year increase of £500 from Mid Suffolk District Council. This core support enables AfSM to develop partnerships, draw in additional inward investment to Suffolk from external sources for collaborative museum projects. 3.2 Lowestoft Museum Development –AFSM supported the volunteers at Lowestoft Museum to secure£243,281from the Government’s Cultural Investment Fund. Awarded by Arts Council England through the Museums Estate and Development Fund (MEND) with DCMS, it is one of only 31 organisations nationally to receive a share of £18m total investment. Lowestoft Museum will use the grant to make urgent and vital repairs to the fabric of Grade II-listed Broad House, a local landmark in Nicholas Everitt Park in Oulton Broad. The repairs will safeguard the historically important collections of Lowestoft Museum for future generations, including the Somerleyton bronzes on loan from The British Museum, and enable Lowestoft Museum to plan with confidence for future exhibitions and welcome visitors for many years to come. The grant includes £35,000 to appoint a Relationship Manager that will take up the role previously carried out by the Lowestoft Museum Development Officer, Patricia Day in supporting the museum to deliver this project. 4. Increase access and learning in museums for people in Suffolk 4.1 Transforming People to Transform Museums –Transforming People to Transform Museums (TPTM) is a Skills for the Future programme funded by theNational Lottery Heritage Fund from 2018- 2022.AFSM supported this project led by Colchester + Ipswich Museums together with the Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket, The Long Shop Museum in Leiston, National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket. The project created 27 traineeships in four museums across the county to develop both core heritage and transferable business skills. Working closely with local community groups to recruit young adults from lower socio-economic backgrounds, the project aimed to develop and support a more representative and resilient workforce at each museum. Trainees also took up placements at other museums across the county to broaden their experience. The trainees have made a real difference to their local communities by |

applying their new skills to bring about relevant and creative programmes and help secure the future resilience of each museum. More information can be found here. The final evaluation of the TPTM programme been completed and is available on request. 4.2 Kickstart – AFSM has supported the development, delivery, and evaluation of the Suffolk museums Kickstart programme led by the Museum of East Anglian Life. The government’s Kickstart scheme aims to provide quality work experience to individuals at risk of long-term unemployment in the 16-24year-old age group. It achieves this by assisting organisations to offer sixmonth placements which support young people to make the successful transition into long term employment, giving them the confidence and competence to succeed. The museums programme started with nine partners. It increased to 11 partners in Nov 2021 following a successful additional application to the DWP. A total of 122 placements were offered in total between April 2021 and March 2022. This includes 81 original placements, and 41 additional placements. A total of 50 percent of those recruited had a disability. The programme also supported the mental health of participants and was quotes as being both ‘life saving’ and ‘transformational’. Videos and case studies are available to view on the Suffolk Museums website: https://suffolkmuseums.org/projects/kickstart/ In addition to the intended jobs, skills, and employment outcomes. Kickstart placements have also had some significant unexpected health outcomes. Case studies are therefore also featured as part of the Suffolk Public Health Annual Report 2021: https://sway.office.com/EAu141QgqxzYNhU3?ref=Link 4.3 Holiday Activity and Food Programme – The Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme is a DfE funded programme that offers support to families who receive free school meals. The programme aims to offer high quality, enriching activity and nutritional, school standard food during the school holidays. AfSM is a partner organisation in the Suffolk Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme. More about the main Suffolk HAF Programme can be found here . The HAF programme is largely delivered by sports providers. AfSM piloted a cultural offer, established with support from Suffolk County Council. It focused on two museums, West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village, and the Museum of East Anglian Life (MEAL). Both worked with outside partners to provide the food and some of the activity. They also provided a commercial offer to sit alongside the offer of free places for those in receipt of free school meals. Schools supported promotion of the programme. It was also featured in the Jul/Aug edition of Families Suffolk Magazine (page11): Families Suffolk Magazine: Issue 60 - July/August 2021 by Families Magazine - Issuu MEAL provided eight days of holiday provision to 248 children who receive free school meals, and 36 children purchased a place.

organisations made good connections with local primary schools and parents, as well as partner businesses and organisations that delivered some of the activities. The museums were also able to purchase equipment and build resources that will enable more cost-efficient provision of similar programmes in future

The HAF programme had some significant health outcomes. Case studies are therefore also featured as part of the Suffolk Public Health Annual Report 2021: https://sway.office.com/EAu141QgqxzYNhU3?ref=Link
We aim to build on this in 2022 by increasing the number of museums taking part in the programme and reaching more young people across the county.
4.4 Summer in Suffolk Museums – Summer in Suffolk Museum is promotional initiative showcasing all the events, activities and workshops taking place in Suffolk Museums during the school holidays. It ran for the fifth time in 2021. The initiative was supported with dedicated social media coverage and print media throughout the summer period, which successfully trafficked considerable interest to the Suffolk Museums website.
4.5 Suffolk Museums Inspire, Learn & Engage (SMILE) Network – The SMILE Network aims to enable best practice in education, learning and engagement in Suffolk Museums by working collaboratively and sharing knowledge locally, regionally, and nationally. Membership is open to all learning leads from the Association for Suffolk Museums member museums. Meetings take place on a quarterly basis at varied locations. The network supports the development and delivery of AFSM education, learning and engagement projects.
In 2021-2022 SMILE Network played a key role in generating interest in the Holiday Activity and Food Programme among museums. Similarly, it generated interest among museum partners in the Power of Stories touring exhibition.
4.6 Special Delivery – AFSM supported this project led by Suffolk Artlink. It is an intergenerational project that is exploring the art of communication through letters and other documents held in Suffolk Record Offices and museums.
Children at primary schools in Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft and Halesworth have worked with artists and archives to create letters and artwork about their lives, inspired by the Lincoln Letters at Halesworth Museum. These have been shared with residents of care homes who have responded in kind.
A key outcome of the projects is the creation of a legacy of digital interpretation for use in Suffolk Archives and museums and a literacy resource for use in schools.
4.7 CPP MarketPlace – MarketPlace is the Creative People and Places (CPP) programme funded by Arts Council England to run in Fenland and Forest Heath from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2025. It aims to grow a sustainable arts infrastructure in Fenland and Forest Heath which

supports and nurtures the growth of local audiences and participation in arts and cultural activity. More information can be found here. AfSM is working as part of a Consortium that supports and challenges Babylon ARTS in its leadership and delivery of MarketPlace. The Consortium’s role is to ensure the vision and ambitions of MarketPlace and the wider Creative People and Places programme are met. AfSM has joined the MarketPlace Consortium in the third and final phase of a ten-year CPP commitment to audience development in Fenland and Forest Heath. 4.8 Power of Stories - Power of Stories started as an exhibition at Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich. It brought together three costumes from Marvel’s Black Panther movie, along with historic museum objects and local stories to create a display exploring storytelling and identity. More information about the exhibition can be found here: https://www.powerofstories.co.uk/about-the-exhibition/ From this developed a group of black community members and leaders who felt it important to make the most of the profile of the iconic film costumes being displayed in Power of Stories for the benefit of the community. They approached AFSM for support to develop the Power of Stories programme. Together with Aspire Black Suffolk and Colchester & Ipswich Museums (IBC), AFSM approached Marvel to ask for an extension of the loan of the Marvel Black Panther costumes. Marvel agreed to the idea of touring the costumes across museums in Suffolk. The following museums have agreed to be part of the tour: Moyse’s Hall Museum (WSC), Bury St Edmunds, Feb to Apr 2022 Abbots Hall (Museum of East Anglian Life), Stowmarket, Jul to Sep 2022 Snape Maltings (The Red House), Aldeburgh – Oct 2022 to Jan 2023 The next stage of the programme will be to develop a research, display, and activity programme to align with the exhibition tour and activity pack. At least 12 museums have expressed an interest in taking part. They have identified many black histories that could be better researched, interpreted, and integrated into activities, displays, and publications. Working in partnership with Aspire Black Suffolk, we aim to support those museums with training and resources that will enable them to do this in partnership with their local communities. 4.9 Arts, Libraries, and Museums Mental Health Programme - AFSM is working in partnership with the Food Museum, the Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Suffolk Libraries, and Suffolk Artlink to deliver pilot creative arts and heritage courses that support people with mental health issues. This project is building on AFSM’s Creative Heritage in Mind programme. A Project Officer, Sally Dix who is based at the Food Museum is support the development of the programme and coordinating wider museum involvement. She has recruited Ipswich Transport Museum so that courses can be delivered in Ipswich and Stowmarket. Six artists have been commissioned to co-curate the course content with people with lived experience of mental ill health. The artists will lead the delivery of the courses with support from individuals with lived

Section E Financial review
The Trustees continue to consider relevant guidance, including that Brief statement of the provided by the Charity Commission in CC19 "Charity Reserves: Building charity’s policy on reserves Resilience". The continuing review examines potential risks and assesses these risks against costs to determine an appropriate and prudent level of reserves, together with an appropriate management framework.
AFSM does not currently have a reserves policy. This is an action that will be carried forward into 2022-23 and should reflect the paragraph above.

Going Concern
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
Total funds on 31 March 2022 stand at £148,564. The trustees have considered the impact of the Covid-9 pandemic on the going concern basis for the financial statements. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from the date of authorising these financial statements and consider the charity will still have sufficient access to cash resources to operate in that period. The trustees therefore have a reasonable expectation that the charity can continue in operation for the next 12 months and it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
