## Old Haa Trust Chair's Report — 2025
This is my Chair’s report on the Old Haa Trust, given at the Annual General Meeting, 13th January 2026.
## Season
We recruited 5 job-share Museum Assistants, some who have returned from last season. There was still reliance on Trustees at the start of the season but definitely less than in 2024. We also recruited a Cleaner which relieved the work load on the museum assistants. This seemed to work well.
A total of 37 group booking/special opening this season which was 8 more than 2024. The bulk of our bookings are through Island Vista and we worked alongside them, by opening 10 minutes early, to assist with the issued they were having with the availability of ferry bookings.
## Building
Concerns had been raised that the hearthstone in the tearoom could causea trip hazard. A fender was made locally to solve this issue. There was no work further carried out on the building this season although plans have been finalised to replace the garden shed
## Collections
Work is continuing on the accessioning of artefacts and contacting lenders regarding items on loan.
Discussions have been completed with Shetland Amenity Trust regarding the White Wife. She will arrive at Old Haa in January 2026 to take up residence in her permanent home in the Downstairs Exhibition Room following conservation at the Scottish Conservation Studio, South Queensferry.
We also contacted Scottish Conservation Studio about conserving the flying suit gifted last year by the family of Flying Officer A Helme, a survivor of the Arisdale crash in 1942. Work is underway to find grant funding to make this possible.
## Visitor Numbers 2024
April - 472, May — 1347, June - 1352, July — 1439, Aug — 1307, Sept — 957, Oct - 109 Total 6983. This is a 14.5% increase on 6133 in 2024 and, yet again, our busiest year to date. Tecan ‘aes tinea: | me | ee BEST=EUROPE

## General
We made changes to how the Gallery was run in 2024. Instead of 1 or 2 artists sharing the space with change every 3 weeks, the space is now shared by up to 4 artists changing every at 5-6 weeks. This maintained the number of artists on display but reduced the work for Trustees.
ae:sale. an exhibition in the Upper History Room also had some of his work on
These changes seemed to work well despite some poor feedback from locals.
We now have 9 Trustees but more would always be welcome to ease the workload. These Trustees have undertaken a lot of training this season including many hours in preparation for re-accreditation which is due at start of 2026.
Finally, may | thank all Trustees, Carol Christiansen, Museum Assistants and Cleaner for their continued support.
