YORKSHIRE MUSEUM OF FARMING LIMITED
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The board of trustees (who are also the directors of Yorkshire Museum of Farming Limited for the purposes of company law) are pleased to submit their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. The board of trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011, 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 published in October 2019.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal activity is to operate the business of the Yorkshire Museum of Farming Limited, the objects of which are to preserve for the benefit of the Nation, agricultural machinery, equipment, buildings, documents and livestock of educational and historical interest and to maintain and operate a museum at Murton in the county of North Yorkshire for the purpose of exhibiting to the public such items of educational or historical interest. The museum is sited at Murton Park and the day by day management is supervised by a committee consisting of ten trustees. In this they are assisted by the site director and the projects officer.
In order to comply with the stated objects of the company, the exhibition areas, together with the area set aside for the reserve collection and the library, are subject to a carefully monitored environmental programme. All cloth items are removed from the unheated and uninsulated Four Seasons exhibition building in the winter and there is a regular cleaning and waxing programme for all wooden and metal exhibits. This is carried out by volunteers under the supervision of a trustee as is the cataloguing of exhibits. A team of volunteers also services and maintains all the working machinery.
All livestock on the site is looked after by our stockman and subject to regular veterinary inspection.
The charity's income is derived primarily from two sources, admission fees and YMF Services Limited, it’s subsidiary which provides catering and retail facilities to visitors and operates an educational programme which includes tours of the museum and a "living history" project centred on the conception of a dark ages village and a reconstructed roman fort named Brigantium.
The success of the museum could not be achieved without the efforts of the large and dedicated team of paid staff and volunteers.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Museum of Farming is a charity which exists, for the benefit of the public, to preserve agricultural machinery, equipment, buildings, documents and livestock of educational and historical interest. The museum believes that its work creates public value in all five categories noted within the current charity act – ie:
-
Democratic value
-
Cultural and creative value
-
Educational value
-
Social and community value
-
Global value
The activities in this report reflect the museum’s commitment to best practice, and supporting the local cultural and educational infrastructure. By concentrating on the public benefit that the museum can bring, the museum will be better placed to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future – even in times of economic uncertainty.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.

YORKSHIRE MUSEUM OF FARMING LIMITED
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (continued)
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The coronavirus pandemic had a very considerable effect on the operation of the Murton Park site. The early lock down closed the site for the first half of the year. Limited opening was possible in late summer and early autumn, but restrictions tightened again. A successful revised Santa Special was achieved, but without the use of the DLVR trains. Most of the staff were placed on the government furlough scheme. The flexible nature of the scheme allowed staff to work when required and has prevented making any redundancies.
An operating loss of about £20k has been offset with the grants and donations kindly received in the period to support the recovery of the museum into future years. Completion of the building extension to provide additional educational facilities and house the Scardifield tractor collection stalled over Drainage Board planning application issues. Communication with the appropriate authorities was made excessively difficult with most officials working from home and unable to visit the site. We look forward a return normal next year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
At the year end total funds of the charity and its subsidiary, YMF Services Limited, were £998,488. Of this £10,272 has been designated to the Railway Fund, £46,686 restricted in Arts Council fund, £508,599 held in the asset fund, of the balance £22,940 was YMF Services fixed assets leaving £409,991 in free reserves.
RESERVES POLICY
The committee of management seeks sufficient cash reserves to fund the on-going maintenance of the museum. Reserves are needed as some sources of income could be vulnerable in the future. Having an appropriate level of reserves will allow an opportunity to secure alternative income sources. The committee of management consider an appropriate level of reserves to be 3 months recurring overhead expenditure on operations of the museum. This could enable work to continue whilst alternative sources of income are found. This is required to satisfy the objectives of the charity set out in the Memorandum of Association. Although levels are currently greater than this, various repairs have been held back and investment is now needed in the facilities at the museum.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Yorkshire Museum of Farming Limited is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association as amended by special resolutions dated 22/1/08, 11/11/08 and 23/6/15.

-
b. Two persons appointed by the partners of York Livestock Centre;
-
c. Two persons appointed by the Yorkshire Folk Park Trust.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (continued)
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)
The persons so appointed under paragraphs (b) and (c) shall not be subject to retirement by rotation.
The committee members to retire each year shall be those who have been the longest in office since their last election. A retiring member shall be eligible for re-election. The power of admitting members of the museum shall be exercisable by the committee. As part of the induction process they are given full information on the charity’s activities.
Organisational structure
The trustees make strategic financial, budgeting and personnel decisions. They are assisted in their deliberations by the site director and site manager.
Risk assessment
The committee of management have an on-going process of reviewing the risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those in relation to its operations and finances. Subsequent to this review, systems have been put into place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The short-term prospects will be determined by the course of the pandemic. Nevertheless, there has been a long running need to improve the café and catering offering at Murton. We aim to modernise the café area and we had entered negotiation with a potential café operator, which to date have not reached a satisfactory resolution. This and completion of the Scardifield building are high priority projects. Examination of the fire alarm systems on the site has prompted the need for a full fire risk assessment, the outcome of which is likely to require further expenditure. We aim to restore and rebalance our staffing levels which should enable a better living-history production and events and IT management. The trustees are confident that successful future trading will be restored once the anti-virus restrictions are relaxed.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (continued)
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the Yorkshire Museum of Farming Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company and group for that period. In preparing the 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 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable company and group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
YORKSHIRE MUSEUM OF FARMING LIMITED
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated balance sheet, the charity balance sheet, consolidated and entity only cash flow and related notes.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity 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 company’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 the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am member of ICAEW and ACCA, which are 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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These accounts consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary YMF Services Limited on a line by line basis. A separate statement of financial activities for the museum itself is not presented because it has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, and paragraph 397 of the SORP.
INCOME
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

YORKSHIRE MUSEUM OF FARMING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS - 31 DECEMBER 2020 (continued)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
HERITAGE ASSETS
The original cost of the museum collection cannot be established. The collection was initially included in the accounts in the year ended 31 December 2012 at replacement cost for insurance purposes.
Acquisitions are made by purchase or donation. Purchases since 31 December 2012 have been recorded at cost and donations are recorded at current value as determined by the trustees.
Depreciation is not charged on heritage assets which have an indefinite useful life.
OPERATING LEASE
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the leaser are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Funds held by the charity are either:
Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds – these are funds which the trustees have set aside for a particular purpose.
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.
Further explanations of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
STOCKS
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
TAXATION
As a registered charity, the company benefits from business rates tax relief, and is generally exempt from income tax, capital gains tax and corporation tax.
Deferred taxation arising in the subsidiary undertaking is provided using the liability method to take account of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for accounts purposes and their treatment for tax purposes. Tax deferred or accelerated is accounted for in respect of all material timing differences.
