RISK MANAGEMENT The main business as usual risks rnanaged by the c￿jncil of Management are typical of any small, independenlky furKled and wholly volunteer run charity.

The Annual Report is our opwtunty to refiect and lo reco9nise both our successes and challenges we fraced during 2(r22. Undoubtedty. the highlight of the year was the wonderful day on 4 Oclober when Volunteers. disb"nguished guests and benefactors of the Museum attended the presentation ofthe Queen'sAward for Voluntary Service IQAVSI. Mr. Edward Harley OBE, The Lord Lieutenant of He￿fordshire presented the PAuseum wrth a QAVS p*ue and certificale, sbJned by the Late Queen El￿abeth 11. These will tske prMJe of plxe in the Museum Visitor Centre to recognise the effort ofall voluntews who have grven their and skilts to the Museum since its offKial openin9 in 1974. Folthing on from the Award Ceremony in October. the Trustees recognised over 70 voluntews who We￿ entitled to receive an enarnel QAVS Badge to maJk this westwious event March 2022. however. saw the return of the Tuesday maintenance days and a renewed focus on ensuring the range of historical engines and artefxts were tjack in safe workn.ng conditions as the perDd of closure during the pandern￿ had caused a swnifKant Maintenan￿ back*. Thts period of closure was also needed to compkle the Visitor Centre re¢onfiguration wth a fu￿tiOnal and w<*king eafé, shop and reCept￿n area ￿adY for the return of visitors at the end of March. Research and archive work be9an in eamest with a pnorty on the delayed reatsloguing of the Museum's collectson. l these tasks set Ihe museum wi a FQ5rtw forthe reoFeniNJ and antrIpat￿n ofa fi￿ty operational season - somelhing not known for over t*t) yeaTs! The slrategrc prI￿ltieS in 2022 were those ident[f￿ in the 2021 Annual Rewt •namety securing the Museum's'accredited" Museum stabjs and the approval & iMplen￿n1atIoD ofa new Forward Plan. Both of Ihese challenges, l am pleased to say, have been addressed. The Forward plan was approved by Trustees in Septernber 2022 afterwide consuttaiKJn with volunteers, communty. and benefactor5. Thts covered a shorterthan usual thfee year penod {2022-2025} because of the period of transition arKI recovery needed after the Coronavirus pan¢Jemic. prog￿55 against the agreed objectsves will be updated by tlrectors every quarter. with repoth.ng to the Trustees every six months. An updated FoThvard Plan was crit￿1 for the acuedrtatton submts5ion pr(ws which went'lrve, on-line on 20 tyecember 2022. The Museum submstted its ap￿ication in June 2023 and will recekve notfficalion of the out¢ome of the submission by Decemt*r 2023. A key element of the work needed for this was a review and. where appropriate. update of all the Museum'$ key poI￿les. whth have been approved by Trustees under a rolling programme of poly mws. Reflecting on the post Pandem￿ chalWes we faced. the Directo￿ were especialty aware of competing pressures (al attracting a growth in visitor numbers to retain financial viability and (bl not overstretching the goodw"Il of ¥olunteer5 a¢tivety engaging with the museum. These were the priorities from seven major changes in the oper*ing envlronrr￿I of the Museum brought abcwl by Ihe Coronavirus pandemic, which were first described ty Richanj Curtis in 2021 in a str*egic'cultural shift, paper. which was subsequenlly ath)pted by Ihe Tnjstees in 2022. During the Coronavirus lockdown Directors had commi5sts)ned two independent strategic reviews. The first was an appraisal of the viabilty of their proposaL% for the TeC0nfigurat￿n of the visitor centre and opportunities this v￿uld provide for improving the visitor experience and gr¢￿Ing sources of income. The second review assessed opithunities for retail devebpment at the Museum as part ofthe wider revtew of future operations. In 2022. the Museum focused on the second of these reviews as the one that. given the impact of the partdern￿ on firrdncial and volunteer resources. could have the most immedHte impacL However. tKJth exercises wÈll help improve finan¢o1 stability over th8 next few yews arKI reduce the Museum's relorte on the suptKJrt rt ￿1ve$ from its benefxtors. P4e 09f28 . The f￿rganISab.0n ofthe visitor¢entre alkThved more Spea￿ zoning of actsvrty, including an ￿large￿ café facility, improved shop display and a more purp)seful visrtor reception. These were important features to rrrf)ve Ihe Museum to a mtye fcrfAing and has supported a growth in sates as demonstraled in the ffinancial Not onty is the Visbtor centre better for visitors but it also lends itsell to possible extemal hire and for p)tentialty new purposes. However. thts was not a strategK prKJrity in 2022 as we did not have the vdunteer resource needed for such new xtivities. Other important changes in 2022 included the installation of a Volunteer Mess, a desp3nated area for the volunteets well- being and the devek)pment of the calendar to include more group and community use of the Museum. For visiiofs we have developed a wider Tange of steam. working and nofvsteam days. This has provided more Ilexits"Irty to operate wrthin the ¢apacity of volunteer tr.me and has been crucial in managing the rising costs of INing and high fud costs of running the Museum on Steam days. The challenges ofvolunteer capacity have been ￿ng the pandemK. The 1&ff￿nth cthure of the Museum saw many iong-tenn volunleers not retuming due to health and confidence reasons. We have a150 seen fundaTr￿tal changes the very nature of volunteenng, wth (￿er indNiduals giving time and those that vdunteer wants'ng rrwe llexibFlity ￿ the commrtment to ts"￿ and days. These changes are not specific to this Museum but is evidenced nationally by the nmtseum sector. H¢ywever. recruitsment of new volunteers has been nmye su¢¢essful in certain areas ofthe museum compared to others. There is a remaining concem over the lack of volunteers to work in the ofé and stewards coming fO￿ard for Ihe visitor centre. The Directors are continuing to ty and ways ofaldressing the issue ofvolunteer recruitment. We have seen major changes and iiypylanlty. Ihe SFfftd ofcharvJe ID the use of technology for informing vtsitors and rnonrtoring visitor engage￿nt wthtch has teen a constant agenda issue for Trustees. Our use of srKial media Yesen￿ has developed s￿nif￿n11Y Sin￿ 2020 and the outbreak of the pandem¢ and in 2022 a Digrtal WorkJ"ng Group was set up to address our IT Strategy and platforms, with the of4'ecbve of rna￿n9 the Museum ColleCt￿n more accessible and improve the safeguarding of dats hekl at the Museum. A futther key ouw from this exercise will be a revanyed Museum websrte which will go INe in the sufflff￿r of2023. Finally, the Trustees would wish to thank all the volunteers. trf)th okl hands and new faces, have activety supported the major refurbishment of the Museum and maintaining the c￿lection and in SUPPOttng open days forvisrtors. 11 cannot be underesb"mated that the Museum runs solely on volunteer goodwll which is a very unusual Frt)sition within the museum sector across the UIQ A successfvl ywwith much to celebrate. This report finishes with SOffEVK*rds sr*)ken by the Lord LieUt￿￿nt at the Queen's Award for Voluntsry Service presentstK)n". "The Museum educates across the spedmm- nDtiust Ihe storyolwater&nd engineeiing- it also deats with contempLYary issues Trlabng to Ihe envIn￿Ment and sustsnabilty."

A new project to showcase a ￿centy restored pump set from the Br￿kn'n9ton Estate near F(y*nhope has begun with the hard foundation base laid down and a covered area pknned. In addition, volunteers supported several projects to enhance the Museum site. The gateway to the meadow car park waswidened and fencing placed amurKI the meadow. Agrantfrom tkn Cymw VVel$h Water {DCWW) also allowed planning to progress for hedge piants.ng and environmental improvements across the Museum site, which has been extended further into 2023. Additional fvnding has been sought in 2022 for enhaneing biodiversrty of our site and will itKlude tH'rd and maffThl houses on site and to purchase a pump and pond plaTrts for ts pond area on the Museum fore¢ourL A long -standing probfern has been ts lack of storage on site and tn 2022 discussw)ns with DCWW led to the Museum being i)ffered mLKh needed offsrte 5toTrge al the Broomy Hill DCINW 5iie- the Trustees are grateful to DCWMfor their support in resofving this issue. Youth Trustee Stan L¥Merfs desun for a new entrance g*e was wamity mpted by Trustee5.

WELFARE ANO TrAIMING OF VOLui¥fEERS There were no reportable safety incidents in 2022. As prevmjusly described in thts Annual Re￿rt, the Directors. assessment of the risk to the health and well-being of Voluntee￿ and visrtors was sufficiently high lo decide lo close the Waterworks Museum on 10 De¢effl￿ 2021 and to onty re￿pen to the publ in March 2022. The welfare of engineers was improved with the complelion of kitchen and toll et facilit￿S and relaxation area in the volunteer mess. New volunteers undertcrt)k inducti¢m, the Volunteer Handbook has been updated and wrth Ihe full season of openin9. a on trainirvj safety of volunteers has been paramount. Trustees agreed a fuThJing prnrity was for installing nv4Y CCTV across the three main buildings wh linked togelher wrth a monitor screen in re¢eption as well as femote access t*ing avaIla￿e. Volunteers (including Directors a￿j Trustees) IHYe benefftted from a range of ¢)n-line and extemal training courses organised and fvnded through West Midlands Museum DeyeW￿nI 1￿mDI and Heritage Compass. Topics covered included aspects of govemance, finance and fvnd raising. IT and marketing. Directors were *ased to suppx)rt a review of the V¥llMD courses with the Museum being written as a Case Study for an independent revie* ofthis seplice.

Recepiion and Shopl The reconfyuration project has delivered th￿e ass(Kiated benefits whth have further improved the experience of Museum visitors in 2022. We now have a more efftient and enhanced café service, a new team of suitably trained and quall￿d volunteers who have listened to visitor fe&Jbad( and established an evolving rawe of menu opkns for visito￿. Page 11f28 The reception area has been repositioned by redeveh)pN)g the space previousty by the toilets where a bespoke visitor re¢epbon desk has been installed suprthed by a new card payment system adopted in 2021.

The Accounts presented in this Rewrt compty wilh the requirernents of the Companie5 Act 2006 and the Charity Comrnis%¢)n. Fdlowng the practice of previous years, the narrative that follows refers mainly to the Income and Expenditure account presented on page 18. This dists"ryuishes everyday Operations and Maintenance activitss from devoted to specffic Prq"ects. The unde1tytt￿ paitem of actsvit￿ undeftsken by trt Museum had become well estsblished and onsistent for many years. bui this did not hokl for 2020 as a result of the pandemic whose impact continued into 2021 and the start of 2022. However. our cash Ilow for 2022 was more consistent with the assumptions of the Reserves Poly, as set out on page 7. Operations Operational Inco￿￿, parti¢ulaty that related to ¥isit(xs. recovwed, and exceeded th* for 2019. This was more than offset by inereased eyndilure on items such as fvel and maintenan¢e of both exhibits and buildings, some from addressing backlogs. but Thwinty hwJher material costs.
