THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE MUSEUM TRUST (Limited by guarantee) Trustees, Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 Se tember 2024 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE This past year the team have worked hard to attrart an increase in visitors and to achieve successes for the museum, exceeding targets in all areas. The largest project this year has been the development and installation of a new changing exhibition programme- In focus. This space will be transformed twice a year to allow us to explore different subjects connected to Florence Nightingale and her legacy. This year we marked the 80th anniversary of D Day by exploring the brave work of the Flying Nightingale's. This exhibition has allowed us to develop a new handling box for visitors to explore and online talks which have attracted a wider audience to the museum, including an international reach. During this year we worked in partnership with The Arkwright Society to develop and install a new temporary exhibition at Cromford Mills, Derbyshire. This exhibition allowed the Florence Nightingale Museum IFNMI to diversify our audiences and tell new stories outside of London. We used FNM reserves to fund this exhibition. The exhibition was not a success financially. A review of the outcomes has helped to clarify the thinking of the FNMT (the Florence Ni8htingale Museum Trust), specifically that the focus of any relocation plans in the future would be limited physically to London whilst recognising that there is scope for educational pro8rammes to have both national and international reach. Throughout the year we have strengthened our partnership with King's College London and the Nightingale Academy and continue to work with the colleagues in the London Museums of Health and Medicine network and The Nightingale Fellowship. The museum is now open six days per week which will support our plans to grow visitor numbers and increase on site spend. We have continued to improve and expand our retail offer. New products have been developed to expand the range to appeal to visitors who do not have a nursing or healthcare background resultin8 in a higher income from the retail offer across the year both onsite and online. Our accreditation submission was completed in March 2025, due to this we have given much time to reviewing and improving our collection management systems and ensuring our policies and procedures for our collections are up to date. We continue to work with volunteers who support our learning and engagement pro8ramme. We are hugely grateful for their commitment and time. We have developed a marketing action plan to help us to reach a much wider and diverse audience. This has included a monthly e-newsletter. Structured online marketing and partnership promotions. We are pleased to report that school engagement figures have exceeded pre-pandemic levels and are continuing to rise, in part due to the increase in Mary Seacole sessions but also the continued increasing demand for zoom sessions. which has enabled us to have a greater geographic reach to school5 across the country. We continue to be a popular destination for group visits frorn all over the world.

A¢countln8 Policle5 Basis of preparation of flnancial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice 3pplicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 Icharities SORP IFRS 10211, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. Florence Nightingale Museum Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical c05t or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policv. Company Status The charity 15 a company limited by guarantee reBlStered in England and Wales, company number 02246583. Its registered office address is Gassiot House, 2 Lambeth Palace Road, London, SEI 7EW, which is also its princlpal place of operation. The principal activity of the charity remains that of runnlng a museum. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page l. In the event of the charity bein8 wound up. the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The presentallon currency is GBP and all amounts have been rounded to the nearest £. Golng Concern The financial statements are prepared on a goin8 concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. During the year. the charitv achieved nel income of £107,49312023.. net income of £61.4911. This is after taking into account unrealised gains of £160,06012023'. unrealised 8ains of E60,2061, before which the deficit would have amounted to £52.56712023'. surplus £1,285). Due to the unrealised nature of the gains and10sses on the charity's investment portfolio. the tru5tee5 consider the latter figure as key to understanding the financial performance of the charity. The trustees have reviewed the financial forecasts taking these factors into account for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These show that the charity has a realistic expectation of meeting its liabilities as they fall due and the trustees are sat15fied that the assumptions on which they are based are reasonable. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements. 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. 13
THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE MUSEUM TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 l. Accountlng Policles Icontinuedl Empendlture Expenditure is recogni5ed once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it 15 probable that a transfer of economic benefit5 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 ènd shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Sh3red cost5 which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activitie5 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. Support cost5 (museum governance) are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitv. Expenditure on charitable activities are cosis incurred on the charity's educational operatlons, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activlties. Tan8lble Ilxed assets and depreclatlon All assets Costing more than £5,000 are capitalised. Flxtures and fitilngs lower of the remaining lease term or 10 years on a straight-line basi5 Office equipment 4 years on a strai8ht.line basis Herltage assets-capita15sed Heritage assets that 3re capitalised comprise Florence Nightingale's owl and a series of paintin85 acquired at cost in 2013. Her5tage assets- not Capltallsed Heritage a55ets that are not capitalised comprise the Trust's collection5 of 'Nightingalia' and associated artefacls, including letters. documents. personal effects, uniforms. artworks and other items which were largely collected by Dame Alicia Lloyd.Stil. former Matron of St Thomas, Hospital. Further details concernlng the nature and extent of the collection are provided on the Museum's website. No value is attributed to the collections as reliable historical cost information is not available and due to the uniqueness of much of the collection. conventional valuation techniques are either not appropriate or cannot be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit that might be derived by users of the accounts. Therefore the trustees have adopted a non-recognition approach as permitted by FRS 102. Expenditure on preservation and restoration of the collection is written off in the Statement of Financial Activities as it is incurred. 14
