## **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.

## **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) 

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF WIRKSWORTH HERITAGE CENTRE** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Wirksworth Heritage Centre (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts and volume rebates.
