**DEAN HERITAGE MUSEUM TRUST** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

**Dean Heritage Centre A company limited by guarantee** 


## **Summary** 

The Dean Heritage Centre (DHC) is an accredited museum located in the historic Forest of Dean, but we are far more than just a museum.  The building itself has had more than six different uses over a 400-year period, beginning life as an iron forge to support the iron ore mining activity which has been a part of the area since 500BC.  It now houses a collection of over 20,000 items, all relating to the rich cultural history of the area. 

In 1979 Forest of Dean Rotary Club instigated the formation of the Dean Heritage Museum Trust, in recognition that the unique cultural heritage of the area was being lost.  In 1983 the building at Camp Mill was entrusted to the local council for use by the Trust to open a museum to house the collection and provide information and enjoyment to visitors wishing to understand more about the area.  The stated aims of the Charity are to provide a local museum with articles and stories from the local area and provide education about all aspects of the Forest of Dean, it’s history, geology flora and fauna.  We also now house a local area reference library housing thousands of maps, pamphlets and pictures and are the depositary for local archaeological finds. 

In addition to welcoming 20,000 visitors each year, the DHC also hosts a number of school groups (2,000 children) through a programme of interactive learning days which are linked to different aspects of the National Curriculum.  Through the school holidays children can take part in practical activities and workshops covering a wide variety of topics. Our chainsaw carvers operate at one end of the site – rather unique skills to watch. 

Since 2018 the onsite Café has been taken in house and now runs directly for the benefit of the DHC. 

## **The Dean Heritage Centre provides** 

- An in-door museum experience telling the story of the Forest’s geology and archaeology from the ice-age to the present day, the medieval hunting forest, and its mining, industrial and engineering history, and the people who have lived and worked here through the ages. 

- The Dennis Potter collection of manuscripts and a reconstructed living room from his childhood home in the Forest of Dean. 

- A Victorian school-room brought to life by lessons given by a Victorian school mistress 

- A traditional Forester’s cottage and cottage garden. 

- A five-acre site with outdoor exhibits and woodland trails specifically designed for children, such as our Gruffalo trail featuring larger-than-life carved wooden Gruffalos, foxes, owls and snakes. 

- WW1 trenches used to bring war experiences to life, especially for historical education days for schools. 

- A children’s playground. 

- A working mill waterwheel demonstrating eco-generation of electric power. 

- An annual three-day traditional charcoal burn in our charcoal burners’ camp. 

- Demonstrations of chainsaw carving. 

- A café and a shop which includes space where local artisans can sell their work. 


- Enjoyment of the DHC’s beautiful forest location

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** 

Throughout 2024, the Trustees and Members of the Dean Heritage Museum Trust Centre, and staff of the Dean Heritage Centre (DHC) have worked to make the organisation financially stable and develop the museum as an asset for the local area. Like many other local tourist venues, it has been a challenge to return the visitor numbers to pre-pandemic levels, however, a number of new initiatives have been introduced, including a retail project, called Inspired by the Forest, which engages with local artists in designing and marketing products that can be sold at retail outlets throughout the region. 

The Coffee Shop continues to be our main source of income and the team has successfully introduced a variety of imaginative events to attract new customers. The shop sales have increased, with a much more coherent and targeted range of items, that showcase the Forest of Dean and its authors and artists. Schools, both local and regional, continue to bring groups to the DHC, where the children can learn about the local nature, history and culture. 

In December 2024, we received information that the DHC had received a significant grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) that will provide the financial support to research new business opportunities; carry out investigations on the site for future new construction work; carry out audience development surveys and work with local schools on trial educational projects. The results of this work will allow us to make a larger NLHF grant application in order to carry out major development work on DHC. 

This year, our Collections Officer was a part of a team, led by the University of Gloucestershire, who were successful in receiving a grant to fund a literary project, called the Forest of Dean Writers’ Collection. The project has been successful in locating, collecting and cataloguing original documents from the families of some of the Forest of Dean’s notable writers and poets, so that they would be available to the wider public for research. The number of donated items has far exceeded expectations and the project manager has used some of the donations to work on literary projects with local schools. 

A committee to research the installation of solar panels on the Coffee Shop/Library roof was formed. It was hoped that we could obtain a grant to reduce the cost of this installation. This will not only reduce electricity costs, but also demonstrate to visitors how renewable energy can be used to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. 

The Trustees have a range of experiences and knowledge that they use to support the dedicated staff and volunteers in their work, as well as formulate strategies and explore business models that will ensure a sustainable financial future.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DEAN HERITAGE MUSEUM TRUST** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dean Heritage Museum Trust ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property -  2% on cost Plant and machinery -  25% on cost Fixtures and fittings -  10% on cost
