CEUAnnual OSCR Return Dec25 Structure, Governance & Management Constltutlon The charity is governed by its constitution which was last amended on 31 gt th March 2023. It was granted charitable status by OSCR on 24 January 1998. Appointment of Trustees The Management Committee, which normally meets quarterly, includes the charity's trustees. Membership of the committee is open to all individuals with an interest in the aims of the Trust. Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting which is normally held at the end of March. Under the constitution there must be a minimum of six and not more than twelve elected trustees. The trustees may co-opt further trustees if they consider it would be in the interests of the charity to do so. Management The Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the museum, whilst day-to-day administration is delegated to the Management Committee. All the trustees and members of the committee are volunteers. None are paid. The museum has comprehensive Arts & Culture insurance cover. Objectives & Activities Uig museum is located in a remote rural island area which has experienced prolonged depopulation with negative impacts on the demographic structure, the younger and middle-aged residents are in employment and the pool of volunteers available to run the museum tend to be drawn from the retired, older aged cohorts. Our biggest asset as always is this team of volunteers both on the Committee and working in the Museum. Again we managed to open the Museum six days a week, the exceptions being due to funerals of Community members for which we shut out of respect.
CEUAnnual OSCR Retum Dec25 Accreditation The Museum has established a working groLJP to attempt museum accreditation. The committee anticipate that once this process is completed the museum will be in a better position to attract grant aid. The process of achieving accreditation involves producing specific policies to strengthen governance ofthe Uig Museum. Programme of Events The Uig Museum website has been upgraded and is now accessible at ceuig.co.uk. Work to further improve the online content is ongoing. Some progress has been made to digitise the museum archives but a complete digitisation of manuscripts, images as well as artefacts is now part of the museum's long-term plan. New donations of artefacts and manuscripts continue to be registered and located in appropriate storage. This work takes place during the winter months. This season sawthe museum accepting pre-agreed coach tours, these worked reasonably well and maybe something we could explore further.

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, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
