ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
CHAIR'S REPORT
Exhibitions
This year we decided to hold four exhibitions over the year, one of which, Childhood, was an internal exhibition. This was our most profitable exhibition of the year and demanded a huge amount of work from the volunteer team. The exhibition was inspirational and full of fun for the many families who visited.

Fusion Textiles - Lost Words
It was great to welcome back the group of textile artists who belong to Fusion Textiles. Their blend of artists gave us exquisite, challenging and sometimes quirky work. New people, followers of individual artists and those with a keen interest in textiles loved this inspiring eclectic exhibition when they visited between 10 September and 27th October 2024.

A sleave unravelled - 29th October - 2nd February
Sue Bowhay Pringle's work, also textiles, provided such a strong contrast to Fusion. Her large -scale pieces were reflective and thought provoking. The carefully chosen mixture of recovered silk and fine fabrics with their special links and memories were hand stitched using a range of techniques and skills from embroidery, to quilting and applique. Sue's love of fabric and the tactile nature of her work fascinated and intrigued visitors to the exhibition.

Gillian Lee Smith brought us Lost and Left behind - 4th February -30 March 2025. A short video of Gillian at work was watched many times throughout the exhibition with many visitors including local artists returning time and again to see the extraordinary portraits and images Gillian created. Many of Gillian's portraits were worked and reworked many times. Some of the paintings, had bleach within the paint; they were haunting and captured a sense of loss keenly well as they visibly faded during the exhibition. One of Gillian's workshops brought together young poets from the local High School to create a small volume of work in response to her art.

People Make Alnwick, a five-year programme funded by Community Lottery to develop volunteering and work skills in the community was launched. The project team devised an exciting programme of community involvement to make people aware of the grant and the opportunities it offered. Two national poets worked with groups of local people on 3rd October, National Poetry Day, to write and perform a poem for Alnwick in one day. In November local groups enjoyed silk painting workshops where they created images of Alnwick Market Place. In addition, local artists met to discuss their work, a 'Museum of Ordinary Things' was set up in the Market Square and the exhibits and associated stories were captured online. The year continued with several workshops and a special event celebrating International Women's Day. Local people were invited to talk about their memories and stories of life in Alnwick. Around 420 people were engaged in these events, 64% of whom had not been involved in Bailiffgate before, and artists were given 24 days of employment.
Alongside this, the team developed a new strategy to attract and work with volunteers which is ready to roll out in the second year of the programme.


Events
This year, our volunteers were involved in a wide range of events including an open event for teachers, Alnwick Town Council Volunteer Fair in April, Heritage Open Day in September and Alnwick Gardens careers' fair.

Loans boxes
Loans boxes went to schools as far afield as Berwick, Widdrington, Shiney Row and Thropton.

Storyfest
Bailiffgate hosted two talks for Storyfest on 1st March:

Jake Morris-Campbell, well known poet in conversation with Katherine Renton, local artist: Between the Salt and the Ash

James Braxton, TV personality in discussion with Mark Hobrough) local musician and antiques dealer: Antiques, Mystery and Mischief. The talks were sold out and were very well received.

External Talks

THE BAILIFFGATE MUSEUM AND GALLERY (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06615281)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


Volunteers have been out to schools and various groups including Women's Institutes, The Salvation Army, The Western Front Association, a care home, and the Friends of Kirkley Hall to give talks about the Swinging Sixties, World War 1, Tudors, Glamour and Beauty through the ages, and the History of Alnwick.

Northumberland Hall
The Development fund awarded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF)enabled us to employ consultants to draw up detailed plans for restoring Northumberland Hall, creating and testing out designs for housing the permanent collection and fostering community work. It also allowed us to create a five-year business plan and to test out assumptions about audience groups, sustainability of the museum and a whole host of measures that would enable us to build a resilient and lasting visitor attraction to bring Alnwick Town Centre to life. Volunteers and consultants worked tirelessly to prepare and submit the work the outcomes of the development phase in support of an application to NLHF to fund the implementation of the project.

Grant Funding
The Architectural Heritage Fund provided financial support to help with the many surveys that were needed to check on the condition of Northumberland Hall and Northumberland County Council supported us fully throughout the development stage and when creating a bid for Borderland Funding to provide additional funding for Bailiffgate's restoration of Northumberland Hall, a key element in the regeneration of Alnwick's Town Centre.

The charity held such reserves at the end of the year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE BAILIFFGATE MUSEUM AND GALLERY


Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
