WIRKSWORTH HERITAGE CENTRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with 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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The company is a registered charity established to advance by all such means as are charitable in law, education in, research into and knowledge and interpretation of the history and development of the town of Wirksworth in Derbyshire, for the benefit of the public in general and the inhabitants of Derbyshire in particular and for such purposes to establish a Heritage Centre in Wirksworth with museum and related educational activities.

The "collection" consists largely of items and artefacts which have been donated to the Centre on the understanding that they will be accessioned as part of the permanent museum collection.

During the year the trustees continued to provide charitable services to members of the public and organisations, all of whom have met the trustees' criteria for the provision of such. The trustees have complied with their duty in Section 117 of the Charities Act 2016 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.

Achievements and performance

The Centre is open six days per week. Collection items in galleries 1-3 were displayed. Gallery 4 included a temporary exhibition.

Financial review

Risk Management

The Council of Management reviews the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believes that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over financial systems, will provide sufficient resources. Council has also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirms that it has established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Throughout 2023 the Centre has continued with post Covid recovery which has shown gradually increased turnover. A resilience grant of approximately £250,000 to assist with staffing costs and financial growth has been provided by the National Heritage Lottery Fund to assist.

Transactions & Financial Position

The Statement of Financial Activities shows net expenditure of £112,097 (2022: net income of £49,403).

Income includes a management recharge to the trading subsidiary, in 2023 this totaled £119,626 (2022: £86,520). As at 31 December 2023 the trading subsidiary owed the charity £116,037 (2022: £89,030). The trustees are aware that if the subsidiary fails to make a profit in the near future they must plan as to how the trading subsidiary will repay the monies that it owes to the Wirksworth Heritage Centre.

WIRKSWORTH HERITAGE CENTRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Going Concern

The trustees have not produced a cashflow which shows the charity as liquid in 12 months' time from the signing of the financial statements. Without the continued support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and other generous grants it is unlikely that the charity will be able to continue its operations. We are currently utilising resilience funding from NLHF, this has included funds for a Commercial Consultant to assist us and we are in discussion with NLHF about further support going forward.

We are also working with Museum Development Midlands, which includes intensive support from a museum specialist to guide us and support us going forward, we look forward to engaging their assistance.

Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company was incorporated on 4 May 1984. In the event of the company being wound up every member is required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Council of Management

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles of Association are known as the Council.

The Articles provide for a minimum of three Council members in addition to the Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer, all of whom must be members of the charity. The Council may at any time co-opt any person qualified for appointment to fill a vacancy in their number, but a co-opted member holds office only until the next annual general meeting and shall then be eligible for re-appointment. Council members may be appointed or removed by ordinary resolution of the charity.

Council meets from time to time as required and is responsible for carrying out the whole of the business of the charity. The company has not entered into any contract in which a member of Council has an interest.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

S Barkley-Smith (Resigned 31 May 2024) A E Lindsay (Honorary Treasurer) J Ferguson-Lee (Chair) N Lamb (Resigned 4 September 2024)

1.7 Financial instruments

1 Accounting policies

Company information

Wirksworth Heritage Centre Trading Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 31 St. Johns Street, Wirksworth, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 4DS.

1.1 Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate support from the parent company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors expect this support to continue for at least the next 12 months, providing the parent itself has enough resource to continue its own operations. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Turnover

Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

1.4 Stocks

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.

1.5 Financial instruments

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs.
