ORKNEY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY MUSEUM SCIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 - continued
The trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2025.
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects as stated in its constitution are:
-
e the advancement of education in local history
-
e the advancement of the heritage and culture of Orkney, in particular of Stromness and the ethnographic, natural and maritime history of the islands.
-
e In furtherance of this we will establish and run a museum in accordance with the Museum Association Code of Ethics 2015, as amended.
The charity’s Mission Statement is: ‘The Stromness Museum, as governed by the Orkney Natural History Society Museum SCIO, exists to promote natural science, to preserve local history and to offer an enjoyable, educational and informative experience to as large a range of people as possible.’
Achievements and performance 2025
Exhibition The Museum’s 2025 exhibition was entitled ‘Powered by People: Orkney's Renewable Energy Story’. It featured original research by the Museum team and will run until spring 2026.
Conservation
We completed a project funded by an AIM Pilgrim Trust Remedial Conservation Grant to conserve and rehouse the George Ellison Seaweed Collection. This important part of our seaweed collection fills a time gap between 1839 and 1962. This project followed on from the conservation of the majority of our historic seaweed collections the previous year.
Environmental Arts Project: Shoogly Holm
Stromness Museum began working with Edinburgh based artist Jenny Pope, Orkney International Science Festival and Blide Trust on ‘Shoogly Holm, a project to highlight marine biodiversity loss, explore reactions to climate crisis and create positive actions to counter ecoanxiety through citizen science’. The project was funded by the Creative Scotland Open Fund for Individuals. In addition, we led a YLAG Funded project with West Mainland Youth Achievement Group - in June the young folk had a snorke! at the museum with Kraken Diving and we installed a temperature sensor buoy which has been monitoring sea temperature in real time over the summer. This project will continue until late 2026.
Visitor support and engagement
Anew initiative to encourage visits to the Museum was trialled in 2025. ‘Free February’ ran for the whole month, supported by press releases and social media posts encouraging people to give the museuma try. We had... visitors, compared to ... the previous year and any of those who visited were new to the museum or had not been inside since they came with their school class. Half Term was particularly popular for family visits.
A grant of £10,000 was received through Orkney Islands Council to support Cruise Visit Development in Stromness. This enabled us to improve customer support and funded meetings with cruise operators and community partners to lay foundations for bespoke cruise offers to be developed in 2026.
International Conference Participation
On 215t-22™ October Karen Boswarva attended the Nordic Atlantic Cooperation (NORA) Blue Tourism Conference “An Ocean of Opportunities” hosted in Torshavn, Faroe Islands, as a representative of Stromness Museum.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 - continued
The conference brought together blue tourism providers, tourism organisations, marine scientists, and retailers, from the NORA council countries (Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Isles and Coastal Norway) and wider countries and island nations (Maine (USA), Sweden, Republic of Ireland, Azores and Orkney). Its 2025 focus was regenerative tourism. Karen was invited to present to the conference on Stromness Museum's “Museum without walls” initiative. Activities such as the Snorkel Safaris, Shoreside Rambles, and interactive guided walks, clearly showed the attendees that Stromness Museum has been leading in regenerative tourism for many years now and continues to develop new and exciting ways to capture and display information relevant to the Stromness community and the general public.
Communications
We appointed a Social Media lead in 2025 and this work has turbocharged our social media presence in terms of number of followers and general engagement with our stories, particularly the ever popular ‘Buddo’.
Building Improvement
The Museum porch was updated with fundings from The John M Archer Charitable Trust. It is now a more welcoming space with two interpretation panels which introduce the collections and star artefacts, encouraging passers-by to visit the museum. The Museum also upgraded the collections storage through the purchase of new shelving for collections stored at Orkney Arts Museums & Heritage store in Kirkwall.
Financial review
During 2025 visitor numbers across all heritage sites in Orkney were considerably lower during the summer due to the International Island Games and they did not recover until October. Despite this, visitor income remained close to 2024 levels. Shop trading continued to perform well.
The Museum was delighted to receive generous donations from local businesses, including the John M Archer Memorial Fund and JEP Robertson Solicitors. Orkney Islands Council also provided funding to support the work of welcoming cruise passengers to the Museum (in addition to the annual grant from The Culture Fund). Trustees are delighted to report that the Museum posted a surplus for the year.
Reserves policy
The Society held unrestricted funds of £413,929 at the year end. This included the property in Alfred Street at a historic valuation of £300,000.
It is the trustees’ policy to keep three months’ worth of basic operating costs ina designated reserve, At the year end this totalled £21,000 (2024 £21,000). In addition, the trustees set aside money in a designated reserve for urgent building repair. At the year end this totalled £25,000 (2024 £25,000).
Excluding the designated reserves, the Society’s remaining unrestricted reserves at the year end were £67,929.
Plans for future periods
Building Development Planning
Funding has been obtained to undertake a building condition survey which will be completed in late 2025. The next step is to find Feasibility Study funding. Trustees plan to apply for this funding in early 2026 and hope to begin the work during the latter part of the year. This will enable us to plan for the next stage of the Museum's life as we work towards our bicentenary in 2037.

ORKNEY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY MUSEUM SCIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 - continued
Natural History Collection
The Natural History Collections Assistant Project will begin in December 2025 and run until November 2027, led by the Curator and the Natural History Collections Assistant, Dr Gareth Squire. The Project will digitize 5000 records and make the Natural History Collections more widely accessible to all. Work will include collaboration with local community groups, volunteers and partners including Heriot Watt University and the Orkney Field Club. This project will transform access to natural history collections and help to realise our aim of becoming a Community Climate and Environment Hub. It will enable the museum to be better placed to access future funding such as the DiSSCo UK programme run by The Natural History Museum, London.
New Exhibits
Anew interpretation panel on the Leatherback Turtle has been funded by Thistle Wind and should be completed in spring. In addition, a new display case and interpretation for the model of the Nonsuch, the first British ship to sail to Hudson Bay to explore the potential to establish a fur trading company, and artefacts donated by descendants of Hudson’s Bay Company Governor William Tomison (1740 - 1829) will be installed in spring 2026.
Marketing
During 2026, the museum will continue to work towards increasing visitor numbers, including embedding the offer being developed for cruise ship tours. We plan to extend the role of the Social Media lead to include marketing to coordinate and deliver our marketing advertising and communications.
‘Flaws Pier’
In 2025 Orkney Islands Council advertised a neighboring pier, Flaws Pier, for sale. The Museum was approached by a local councillor to see whether we would be willing to investigate the possibility of acquiring it for a nominal sum so that this pier could remain in public ownership, Considerable support has been shown by the Stromness community for this proposal, and we will continue to pursue this opportunity in the coming year. Should it be successful, we will be seeking funding to support its use both through grant applications and local fundraising.
Structure, governance and management
Orkney Natural History Society Museum is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation SCIO). It has been a Registered Charity since 30 January 1969 and was an unincorporated association until 20 May 2014, when it became a SCIO.
The Museum is managed by a Board of volunteer charity trustees elected from the members of the Orkney Natural History Society Museum (ONHSM). Members elect the trustees at an Annual General Meeting and appoint a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer as office bearers, assisted by the Curator and the Administrator. At fixed quarterly meetings, it sets the long-term strategic direction of the organisation. It is accountable for its actions and decisions to both the public and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
Trustees are appointed by invitation of the existing trustees and are interviewed by the Chair and one other board member. Trustees are normally appointed (or reappointed) at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in spring each year.
Where appropriate trustees seek new board members with appropriate skills, experience, background and knowledge to ensure that the board makes informed decisions. This can be by word of mouth or advertisements in local publications and social media. There are no external organisations entitled to appoint trustees. All trustees are voluntary and receive no remuneration.

ORKNEY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY MUSEUM SCIO
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025 - continued
The Executive Group coordinates and directs the day-to-day operations of the Museum on behalf of the Board. It comprises the Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and Curator. It meets monthly.
Risk management
The trustees undertake an annual organisational risk assessment, which identifies major risks by area, identifying degrees of exposure and steps necessary to manage these. This helps towards ensuring that we are paying due attention to the stability of our operations and to our duty of care to both our staff and programme participants. The trustees review the Risk Register annually and ensure that systems and procedures are in place to manage the risks identified. The trustees consider the major financial risk to be the condition of the building which requires considerable investment to bring it up to an appropriate standard.
Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
¢ observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP ¢ make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent e 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 charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended), and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
° to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
-
° to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations

ORKNEY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY MUSEUM SCIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025
1 Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) issued in October 2019.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Heritage assets
It is the policy of the charity not to capitalise heritage assets belonging to the Museum, where a reliable estimate cannot be made of the asset's fair value, or the information on cost or value is not available and which cannot be obtained at a cost which is commensurate with the benefits to the users of the financial statements. These are in effect inalienable, held in perpetuity, and are mostly irreplaceable, Any financially based valuation would be misleading to the value and significance of the material culture involved. The charity has a clear duty of care for these assets and to make them available for the enjoyment and education of the public as far as is possible, commensurate with their long-term care and preservation. The highest possible standards of collection management are applied, and the catalogues are made available as widely as possible to facilitate all enquiries and requests for information, subject to appropriate security and data protection guidelines.
(c) Funds structure
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose,
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor. Further details of the restricted funds are listed in Note 12 below.
(d) Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income; it is probable that the income will be received; and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants and donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a grant or donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
(e) Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
{h) Stocks
Shop stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(i) Public benefit entity
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
