Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 |
Objectives and aims |
The aim of charity is the continuing education of the public by providing within West Yorkshire a static museum of transport history and transportation archaeology covering all aspects of road public passenger transport. |
To achieve this principal objective, the main objective of 2024 was to finalise the purchase of a permanent building capable of accommodating the Museum's collection of approximately 140 vehicles and associated transport memorabilia and artefacts, such that they can be exhibited in a manner which fulfils the Charity's educational purpose. This purchase has now been completed and the charity can now direct funds towards the acquisition and restoration of a representative collection of buses, coaches and ancillary vehicles. It is the Trustees' firm conviction that the charity has, and will continue to have, sufficient income to make it self-sustaining on an indefinite basis. |
The Museum has purchased a premises at River Technology Park, Keighley, which accommodates the vehicles owned by or loaned to the Charity (currently 39), together with over 100 privately owned vehicles which pay an economic rent for the space occupied. Given the improvements that have been made to the building and surroundings, several Open Days are held each year, and these are used to promote the work of the Charity. In addition, we attend events throughout the region to educate and inform the public of the Charity's work. We invite local schools to the museum for educational visits. |
Additionally, we also act as a clearing house and help service for those seeking accommodation for historic vehicles, parts or advice on restoration of buses, or information on matters of transport industry history and practice. |
Public benefit |
The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the charity's commissions guidance on public benefit and consider their activities to comply therewith. |
Plans for Future Periods |
The trust since completing the purchase of the building will continue to raise funds to repair and modernise the building by holding special events and open days either at our premises or in the community. The trust will raise additional income by renting surplus space to private individuals. |
A programme of lighting upgrades has been started with the aim to increase safety in low light areas, improve lighting conditions for visitors and reduce the cost of lighting the building. |
Independent Examiner |
Stirk Lambert & Co were appointed to report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2024 and have been re-appointed as independent examiner for the ensuing year. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Achievements and Performance |
The building has now been purchased and is solely owned by Keighley Bus Museum Trust Ltd. The Trustees continue to work on improving the cleanliness and facilities within the premises. |
With the purchase of the building there has been a significant reduction in the reserve funds held by the charity, after paying the purchase, surveying, legal and land fees. |

Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024 |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial Review |
The operating profit for the year was £7,666 to carry forward to the following year. Reserves at the end of the year were £276,119 including restricted funds of £5,271 and endowment funds of £44,548. The Charity held fixed assets with a net book value of £605,431 of which £51,514 are endowment funds. The present level of unrestricted reserves available to the charity is £226,300 which are used to finance additional projects and trading in the ensuing year as a backup reserve. |
Restricted funds |
The charity holds £5,271 of restricted fund of which £1,600 is residue of £2,000 which was gifted from the Leeds Transport Historical Society for use only in maintaining and restoring former Leeds buses. Restoration work on Leeds 980 will soon be in progress, and these funds will be considerably reduced in the near future. |
Reserves policy |
The continued surplus of income over expenditure has allowed the trust to increase the sums held on deposit. Whilst insufficient to fund any major expenditure, these now provide a reasonable buffer against unforeseen fluctuations in running costs and income. |
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 Keighley Bus Museum Trust is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its memorandum and articles dates 7th August 1992, as amended on 18th December 1996, 3rd July 1997 and 28th May 1998. It is registered as a charity with the charity commission. Anyone 18 years of age can become a member with voting rights, subject to board approval. There is also a provision for junior members and KBMT 'friends' who do not enjoy voting rights. There are currently some 73 members (2023 - 74 members), each of whom undertakes to contribute £1 in the event of the company winding up. |
Appointment of new trustees |
Each year an AGM (Annual General Meeting) is held, and the election of the trustees takes place as part of this meeting. In all, three trustees can be elected: two trustees and an officer ie. Chairman, Secretary, or Treasurer. In addition, any trustees who have resigned during the year prior to the AGM can be replaced. |
Those elected then serve for a term of two years in the case of a trustee or for a term of three years in the case of Chairman, Treasurer or Secretary. Those appointed serve until the AGM that is held in their final year unless they resign or are otherwise disqualified according to the Articles of Association. In addition to those elected, the trustees have the power to both replace those who resign (or are disqualified) and to co-opt up to four additional trustees, who serve until the next AGM. |
Co-opted trustees are generally added to provide specific expertise, knowledge, capability or capacity not available from those who were elected. |
Organisational structure |
The organisation consists of around 100 members who join by annual subscription with around 30 of those active volunteers who work to further the objectives of the trust. |
The Board of trustees, which can consist of up to nine members, meets regularly to discuss and review all key topics of the trusts business. Many of the trustees carry out voluntary work at the museum and use this opportunity to discuss operational matters and relevant activity. On an ongoing basis the trustees are in touch via e-mail, social media and telephone to ensure that significant developments are known to all and quickly attended to. |
There is a formal sub-committee in place looking at the trusts event programme, which is made up of both trustees and ordinary members. Consideration is being given to establish more sub-committees for other matters as this has proved effective and is within the trustees power to delegate authority. Some activities are delegated to members who produce monthly board reports. These activities remain the responsibility of the trustees. |
Each of the trustees also take on specific roles such as vehicle maintenance, compliance, memberships etc. with these being agreed by all the trustees from the outset. |

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Trustees Induction and Training |
All Trustees are appointed from within the membership of the trust and so will be familiar with the objectives and functions and extensive training is not therefore required. |
Each new trustee will be provided with a copy of the memorandum and articles of association and will be provided with on-the-job guidance by experience trustees. |
Risk management |
Weekly checks are performed to safeguard against potential fire risk coupled with annual testing of fire extinguishers to maintain the trusts compliance to fire prevention and mitigation. Health and safety issues are identified, discussed and subsequently resolved at monthly board meetings, supporting the trusts culture to operate a safe culture for members and visitors. |
Financial risks are minimised by a regular scrutiny of all commitments, reserves and cash-flow predictions by the trustees. |

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Trustees and authorised for issue on |
Keighley Bus Museum Trust Limited |
Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 July 2024 |
1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
Income |
All income resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income. |
Rents receivable represent the total rental income received from members who store their buses at the museum. |
Grants and donations for specific purposes are credited to a designated reserve until such time as that purpose is met. |
Where grants and donations are given for specific purposes then they are separated into endowment funds (to be kept on a permanent basis), restricted funds (given for specific purpose) and unrestricted funds (given to be utilised as the trustees thinks best suit the charity). |
Donated goods, services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by our volunteers has not been included in the accounts. |
Investment income is included when receivable. |
Expenditure |
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
Tangible fixed assets |
All fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: |
Plant & Machinery 25% reducing balance |
Motor Vehicles 1.1% straight line |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Taxation |
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
Fund accounting |
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. |

Fleet A |
In 1999 the museum received funding of £30,500 in total to purchase nine vehicles from the failed Transperience collection, under the terms of the funding the museum effectively cannot dispose of these vehicles and is responsible for their general maintenance and upkeep.

The Charity holds £5,271 of which £1,600 is the residue of £2,000 which was gifted from the Leeds Transport Historical Society for one use only in maintaining and restoring former Leeds buses. Restoration work on Leeds 980 will soon be in progress and these funds will be considerably reduced in the near future. |
18. | COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE |
