## **Annual Report Preliminary:**
The Executive Board of the Trustees presents its report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, which have been independently examined by Azets Chartered Accountants.
In preparing the report the Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing Trust aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The Trustees are committed to providing the cultural services of the Trust to the public at as low a charge as possible in order to comply with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The Trust currently leases the site of Torfaen Museum at Park Buildings on a long term lease from Torfaen County Borough Council (to September 2039).
## **The Trust’s Mission Statement:**
_'To preserve, interpret, disseminate and celebrate local culture and bring the culture of other communities to the communities of Torfaen and beyond'_ .
The collections that Torfaen Museum Trust collect, safeguard and make accessible are the material culture and associated ephemera and information relating to the history, archaeology, geology, social and industrial histories, art, craft and ecology of the County Borough of Torfaen and adjacent districts, from early prehistory to contemporary times.
## **Curator’s Report 2020-2021**
**(23 March) 1 April – 11 July 2020 – full lockdown#1 / all museum closed to public:** Although at the start of the year the whole country was in lockdown, the museum building and the collections within still needed monitoring and maintaining.
All volunteers stayed at home and all staff were furloughed from March 23rd 2020 except the Curator (Debbie) and Maintenance Technician (Peter). The Curator monitored the building & museum each morning Tues-Fri and worked on Projects from home in the afternoon. The Maintenance Technician monitored the museum Sat-Mon and carried out any urgent maintenance and painting.
Paid staff who were furloughed were not allowed to work for the museum in any way so the Curator, with assistance from some of the library volunteers (from home), carried on with Social Media articles and competitions, Special Projects and Archive Items as well as the weekly Nostalgia column for the Free Press.
During this first Lockdown, Facebook & Twitter weekly articles and histories had a 175,375 reach and 59,142 further engagements including the Torfaen School Memories Project which had many hundreds of responses with photographs and memories posted online and sent in the post and they are now kept in the museum’s Dobell-Moseley Library & Archive. The Nostalgia items in the Free Press every week had a potential reach of 19,400 as that is the sale of copies per week.
Prior to the March lockdown, the AIM funded Co-Ordinator had started her Membership campaign by post and during the first lockdown over 150 Members (re)paid their annual subs to the Trust via BACs or post.
By June 2020 the museum was needing more help with processing Membership, cleaning and maintenance of the collections in store and on display and all staff were de-furloughed and a rota set up of no more than 3 workers (or 5 if spread around the stores) in the building at any one time. A schedule of cleaning & re-displaying was set up ready before any end to lockdown.

Also the museum set up cleansing stations, staff mask & visor stations, PPE areas and a system of social distancing throughout the museum – in public areas and working areas.
During this (and subsequent) lockdowns the Curator updated the Trustees / Directors every week on a Friday afternoon via email and post, with all news, queries, grant updates and any monitoring problems. Staff and volunteers were also updated every fortnight.
From June, a Site Assistant manned the telephone lines and emails 2 mornings per week for processing any purchasing from our online shops or by ‘phone and post. Some acquisitions were still donated via the post or promised for when the museum re-opened.
## **11 July – 11 August – Shop / Reception open:**
From 11 July 2020, the Reception and shop was able to re-open and was manned every morning for enquiries, processing post, Membership subs, shop, China Bazaar and online shop sales.
The museum also had a fundraising ‘Win a Painting’ Competition – which was a raffle to win donated artworks by local artists and raised several £100s for the museum and people could drop in to buy tickets or buy over the ‘phone.
The cleaning of galleries, displays and items in store carried on to keep up standards and ready for re-opening.
## **11 August – 24 October – all museum open:**
From 11 August all the museum re-opened except the library & archive (which was however available for email or postal enquiries – just not research in person) and the Tearoom – it was decided to suspend for the time being due to space and facilities.
The Cafe Art displayed works by Alys Lynch and Mike Organ’s ‘Multiple Memories’ show was in the Oriel Barker Gallery.
## **25 October – 9 November– firebreak lockdown/ museum closed:**
The planned half-term and Welsh Museums Festival Week’s ‘Dragon Hunt’ was changed from a planned trail through the museum to a short quiz on a healthy walk around the Park (with all answers available online). As well, children were asked to enter online or through the post with a dragon picture or story. All entries were displayed after lockdown and entrants invited to come in to claim a small treat after lockdown ended.
The Reception and shop was manned Tuesday & Thursday mornings for enquiries, processing post, shop, China Bazaar and online shop sales.
Facebook problems were ongoing but through social media uploads via personal facebook accounts, the Free Press articles and other sources, the museum managed to stay busy and involved with our community, outreaching to 1,000s of people.
## **10 November – 17 December – fully open again:**
With the museum fully reopened the Trust met its legal obligation to hold an annual AGM on Wed 13 December with the Government recommended amount of attendees.
Some grant funding helped to pay for the reprint of the popular ‘Story of Torfaen’ booklet from 2008. 500 copies were ordered and it will hopefully raise £4,000 for the Trust when all the copies are sold.
Partnering with TCBC Fusion, Congress Theatre & Able Radio it was hoped to have Michael Sheen talk to the Youth of Torfaen via zoom links and to be shown in Kids in Museums week. However, with all his commitments and catching COVID-19, this has been postponed until 2021.

## **18 December 2020 – 31 March 2021 (June 2021) – full lockdown #3 / all museum closed:**
From early January, the Reception and shop was manned every Tuesday & Thursday morning for enquiries, processing post, Membership subs, shop, China Bazaar and online shop sales. The fundraising book ‘The Story of Torfaen’ could be ordered online or over the ‘phone and posted out.
Very sadly, the museum’s Maintenance Technician, Peter Sweeting, who had kept the museum going during previous lockdowns (alongside the Curator) passed away from COVID in February. Everyone who knew him was devastated and he is very much missed.
Once it was realised the proposed Spring Show would have to be postponed from February for a year, the museum started a (virtual) Spring Festival 2021. Artists, authors & poets have been invited to enter their stories, poems or artworks (digitally) with the theme of ‘Spring’ until winners will be announced in June 21. All entries will be shown on social media and archived.
3 March also saw the 2021 Membership drive, paying by bacs, post, or over the ‘phone and there was also a ‘Win a framed local photographs from our collections’ raffle too.
Staff and volunteers continued to undertake training and seminars from home via Teams or Zoom and included those provided by Museums Association, SAGE, Gwent Archives, WCVA and others.
## **Museum Grants received 2020-21:**
Federation of Museums & Galleries of Wales (new IT equipment etc…) £ 9,600
Art-fund (items for DMLA and marketing leaflets) £ 1,000
WG Cultural Resilience grant (COVID-19 signage, cleaning etc…) £ 2,970
WG Cultural Recovery grant (costs, salaries non-furloughed staff, new digital learning packages, new website) £37,600
Association of Independent Museums (AIM) (to extend Hallmarks Project) £ 720
## _**Thanks:**_
_Very special thanks are due this year to Victoria Rogers and Chris Delaney at the Federation of Museums & Galleries of Wales and Joanne Taylor and her staff at our accountants, Azets – both teams have kept us informed, speedily and efficiently, of all grants, accounts, VAT, furlough, payroll and other aspects of COVID-19 regulations and changes and helped us through all the processes. They were absolutely brilliant and we would have been lost without their readily available, professional help._

## **Annual Museum Services Users 2020-2021:**
Last year proved difficult with COVID-19 closures and restrictions. We have many older members and visitors who were shielding and nervous about social interaction. We did in fact have 1,546 visitors and general enquiries to the museum including general admissions and member visits.
In order to offset the negative effects of COVID-19 we focussed on boosting our on-line presence including our Website, Facebook, Twitter, Free Press and our On-line shop. Our website numbers peaked in August at 84,242 and Facebook in May with 59,326 hits. Our total engagement figures including all interactions are listed below and demonstrate a good level of interest which we will look to further enhance going forward with the launch of our new Website in 2021.
|April 2020:|228,801|October 2020:|189,854|
|---|---|---|---|
|May 2020:|224,140|November 2020:|176,374|
|June 2020:|219,525|December 2020:|176,273|

|September 2020:|177,846|March 2021:|595,399|
The coffee shop was closed all year and we were unable to organise events. Despite this we kept interest in the museum very much alive and look forward to welcoming increasing numbers as the restrictions start to reduce.

## **Annual Report of the Trustees**
The Trustees present their report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The Trust wishes to thank the many individuals and organisations who have made financial and other donations, to grant funding bodies AIM (Association of Independent Museums), The Federation of Museums & Galleries of Wales and the Welsh Government for their support (professional advice and financial support) during the pandemic and in particular Torfaen County Borough Council as without their core funding the Trust would have been unable to maintain the Borough’s collection and museum services during COVID-19.
## **Financial Review**
This year has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a profound effect on the Trust’s finances.
The incoming resources for the year were £180,074 (2019-2020: £115,585) and outgoing resources were £125,197 (2019-20: £136,305). During the year the Trust received £88,012 from the Welsh Government (MALD) in COVID-19 grants. £45,000 of RV Business support grants was paid to all qualifying bodies without conditions and is thus included in unrestricted funds. The remaining £43,012 in Recovery grants was subject to a bidding application process and had to be spent in accordance with approved bid criteria and is therefore included in restricted funds. The amount added to the general reserves for 2020-21 was £49,427 (2019-20: £3,099) bringing the accumulated total of reserves to £76,863 (2019-20: £27,436).
This excludes the movement in designated funds, which are reducing in line with the book value of the fixed assets that were financed by grants.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees have a Priority Risks & Actions strategy which comprises of the main priorities that face the Trust and the Trustees, the Torfaen Museum building and the Borough collections. This strategy has been reviewed annually since 2006 and highlights the current risks and uncertainties that the Trust faces and proposed actions to minimize and mitigate those risks. This exercise has highlighted that the principal risk over the previous 5 years to the Trust, its building, collections and the services it thus provides, has been financial risk.
Prior to COVID-19, the Trust has taken steps to minimize the imposition of cutbacks and their consequences by budgeting each year within its framework, cutting opening and working hours and some free services, by successfully applying for Project grants and by the lobbying of funding bodies. The future plans on this are unable to be accurately assessed post-COVID-19.
## **Reserves Policy**
Previously, the majority of the Trust’s income is through grant assistance and core-funding from local authorities with funds raised also from entrance fees, Membership, gift aid and revenue from art, gift shop and Tearoom sales and donations. In the current economic climate and for the previous four years before the pandemic, due to a total 30% cut in core-funding from the local authority, the Trust’s annual income previously often failed to meet its annual expenditure.
Accurate forecasting of income streams post-COVID-19 are currently uncertain. It is the aim of the Trustees to keep and continue their reserve fund at 6 months operating costs (this would currently be £50-60,000 to allow both time for the Executive Board of the Trustees to find alternative funds if necessary or to allow them to meet the Trust’s contractual obligations to staff and creditors, as recommended by the Charity Commission. Currently the Reserves Fund stands at £76,436 therefore although the Trust is within the minimum 6 months recommended, this is not all cash funds and so continued budget monitoring has been implemented in order to increase reserves to further safeguard the Trust and to matchfund potential future plans.

## **Reference and administrative information**
Torfaen Museum Trust Limited is a registered charity, number 507419 (England and Wales), incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 as a company limited by guarantee number 1358444.
It is also an Accredited Museum under the Arts Council of England (ACE) Accreditation Scheme Round 3 and previously Accredited (Round 1, 2006, M&GC) and was registered with both Phases I & II (registration number 298) under the forerunner to Accreditation, the museum Registration Scheme. This ensures that the Trust adheres to recommended national standards of visitor satisfaction, collections care and collections interpretation.
The museum is also an Accredited Attraction under the Welsh Government’s VisitWales VAQAS (Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance) standards.
## **Trustees’ Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements**
The Trustees (who are also Directors of Torfaen Museum Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Related Party Transactions**
A number of the Trustees are members of the councils by which they are appointed – see page 7. These councils make grants to the Trust.
As stated in note 9 to the accounts, no Trustees receive remuneration or reimbursement of expenses.
The Trustees did not engage in any transactions with the Trust other than as members of the general public - this is in line with principle 2d of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Torfaen Museum Trust Limited:**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 11 -20 of this report.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The Trustees (who are also Directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matter set out in the statement below:
## **Independent Examiner’s Report:**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (revised 2015) have been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Torfaen Museum Trust Ltd Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021**
## **1. Accounting Policies**
## **Charity information**
Torfaen Museum Trust Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Torfaen Museum, Park Buildings, Pontypool, Torfaen, NP4 6JH.
**Accounting convention** The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
**Change in accounting policy** During the year the charity changed the accounting policy for the recognition of depreciation. The charity changed the depreciation policy of building adaptions from 25% reducing balance to 10 years straight line. The Trustees of the charity believe that this provides a more accurate representation of the useful lives of the tangible assets.
The change in accounting policy resulted in a decrease of £15,620 of depreciation charged during the year. **Cash Flow Statement** The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
## **Incoming Resources:**
**Voluntary Income** (such as donations) represents amounts received during the year.
**Grants** These comprise amounts receivable during the year for all grants including grants received for the purpose of purchasing fixed assets. Grants received are split between restricted and unrestricted funds depending upon the offer letter accompanying the grant receipt.
**Investment Income** is credited to income when it is actually received.
**Voluntary Help** No monetary value has been put on the help received by volunteers during the year. **Resources Expended** are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
**Charitable Activities** This includes all costs relating to the furtherance of the Charity’s objectives. **Governance Costs** This includes the costs of independent examination.
**Irrecoverable VAT** The Charity suffers from irrecoverable VAT due to the fact that it is on a partial exemption scheme and not all input VAT is recoverable. This is written off to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which it arises.
**Netting Off of Income and Expenditure** Income and expenditure are stated gross.
**Fixed Assets** are capitalised where they are considered significant or material within the context of the charity’s operations, and are included at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. The Trust’s collection of objects, books, specimens, photographs, documents, maps and other materials acquired for preservation are held under Trust and on its winding-up would become the property of Torfaen County Borough Council under the provisions of an agreement between the Trust and the council’s predecessor authority dated 12 June 1979. They have therefore been written off in the year of collection or acquisition.
Depreciation is taken at 25% of the written-down value of fixtures and fittings and computer equipment, and 10% of the costs of building adaptions, except for collections etc… as noted above.
**Stocks** are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
**Funds Structure** The Charity’s funds are split into general funds, designated general funds and restricted funds.

## **Torfaen Museum Trust Ltd Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021**
## **1. Accounting Policies (continued)**
**Restricted Funds** These are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. **Designated General Funds** These funds are set up where grants have been received for the purchase or construction of fixed assets, and are transferred to the general fund in step with the depreciation charges on the related assets.
**Unrestricted General Funds** These funds are available for the general purposes of the Charity, to be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees
**Operating leases** Payments made in respect of operating leases are charged in the year paid **Rounding Figures** contained in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound
Presentation of the accounts as a going concern. The Charity reported a net outflow of £20,720 for the year. This Charity has sufficient free reserves and is monitoring results on a frequent basis. The Trustees are of the view that on this basis the charity is a going concern and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
**Cash and cash equivalent** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
**Financial instruments** The charity 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.
**Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
**Creditors and provisions** are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
**Liabilities policy** Liabilities are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable. **Taxation** As a registered charity, the charity is entitled to the exemption from taxation in respect of income and capital gains received within sections 478-489 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects purposes only.
**Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements** In the application of charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
