REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

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 March 2025. 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

1 To advance education by the maintenance of a Museum known as "The Museum of Bath" (previously known as "The Museum of Bath at Work" and the "Camden Works Museum") for the preservation exhibition interpretation and promotion of its collections of items relating to the industrial and social history of Bath and the surrounding area, including the maintenance of the Grade II Listed Building that the Museum occupies for the preservation and interpretation of the building's history; and such other items of historic interest as may be acquired by the Charity;

2 To extend enhance conserve maintain and store the collections of the Museum.

The Objects were amended as above during 2024, to reflect the Museum's wider remit beyond industrial history to include 'social history' - the social and cultural context and the lives of working people in Bath.

The amended Objects also provide for the future name-change to 'Museum of Bath', again to reflect the Museum's wider remit. At the date of this report, this change has not yet been implemented; Bath Industrial Heritage Trust will likely introduce the change gradually and incrementally during 2025 and 2026.

Financial review

The Trustees' Report covers the 12 months 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Total incoming resources for the year increased from £217,434 to £110,658. This included donations over the year of £31,099 (£19,738 - 2023/24). Resources expended have increased from £85,910 to £103,538. Overall the funds of the charity increased from £122,798 to £236,694.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The company continued to provide activity for public benefit under its Charitable objects. In preparing this report, the Trustees have complied with their duty to have regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance.

In the previous year, 2023/24, visitor numbers and admissions income reached a comparable level to 2019, the year before the Covid-19 lockdowns. In the year now under review, numbers are broadly similar: further details about activities are given below. Community groups which regularly hire the Museum for meetings and activities have thrived, and some new groups have started to use the Museum regularly or as one-off bookings. Room hire is an increasingly important source of income.

The Trustees were pleased that the Museum had its Accredited Museum status confirmed by Arts Council England in May 2024. This recognises a standard of excellence in collections, collections management, and overall governance and administration.

Strategic business planning and Museum Making

In 2023 we did intensive work to identify organisational strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and to agree a way forward to ensure the Museum's longer-term resilience and viability. The key action to come out of this process was the decision to apply for substantial funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. With expert assistance from consultant Sam Hunt, the application for the Museum Making project was submitted in May 2024 and a grant of £241,918 was awarded in full in August 2024. This covers three years' work 2025, 2026, 2027 and has made a huge change in our organisation, enabling us to appoint additional staff.

We wish to re-position the Museum to tell the wider stories of Bath as a working, living city with innovative interpretation and activity that will engage wider audiences and enable us to become more resilient. 'Museum Making - Transitioning the Museum of Bath at Work' is a community-focussed project that will build a new basis for what we do and how we do it, to enable us to move towards a future capital redevelopment project to re-think use of space in our historic building. It builds on our progressive development from a museum that focussed on technology and industry to celebrating working lives in Bath. We aim to become a community museum - for Bath and about Bath - embracing the concept of community 'co-production' in our approach, and creating a different experience for the visitor that looks at the City's development from the Industrial Revolution to the present day through a new interpretative viewpoint.

The Museum Making team started in January 2025, comprising project Coordinator Ellie Bowes (full-time) and two part-time Community Engagement Facilitators, Helen Daniels and Holly Wallis. As well as the core team, the grant covers the costs of: an evaluation adviser/consultant; marketing of everything we do; audience development (getting demographic analysis about the kind of people who visit, and crucially the kind of people we want to visit but who currently do not, and what will appeal to them); exhibition infrastructure eg. digital equipment, printing exhibition panels and materials; and a consultant to undertake a Space use survey & design study and an audit of carbon footprint and energy use.

Museum Making is therefore about everything we do from 2025 onwards, including:

" One main/key exhibition per year

" Other smaller exhibitions, pop-ups, community projects, events, films, talks, etc

" Work on how we want to present the permanent collections in new and different ways, both their physical presentation and the story we tell about them (interpretation)

" And the costs of presenting/displaying these new approaches.

All of this work, and especially the focus on presenting the permanent collections, will be done using a 'co-production' or 'co-curation' approach. The principle of this is that everyone's ideas are valid to be heard and taken on board, and everyone can contribute to the project, rather than a top-down approach where Trustees and staff make all the decisions. This means finding and recruiting both individual residents who want to be involved as volunteers, and existing community groups.

The year under review includes the first three months of the Museum Making project (January-March 2025). Considerable and intensive work was completed during this initial period, including various set-up activities, training and familiarisation, and the first community engagement and outreach sessions in the Museum and at other venues. The project achieved good local media coverage and visibility.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Exhibitions

In the main gallery space, 2024's exhibition was Costing the Earth, funded with a project grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The exhibition examined the legacies - both good and bad - of Bath's industrialisation since 1700. We used an innovative display method, with the images and text on ten light-weight cardboard cubes, each 1 metre square, which could be handled, turned and stacked in any combination to show different sides of the cube. The grant also enabled the updating and reprinting of the highly successful 2015 exhibition Knowing Your Place which was shown alongside.

During October 2024 we hosted an 'artists takeover' - Reactions! Five Artists Respond to Museum Collections. Five artists installed artworks at the Museum, ranging from ceramic tools to projections using archive images. Artists Alison Jackson-Bass (lightworks), Sarah May Rogers (ceramics), Philip Crewe (metalworking), Anna van der Putte (sculpture) and Jane Hildreth (painting and prints) worked in the Museum for several months to develop the pieces.

In the Hudson Gallery we showed several small exhibitions during the year. Residents of Prior Park Buildings in Widcombe researched the history of the people who lived in each of their houses, using Census returns and other published archive material. This was assembled into an exhibition which we hope will inspire other roads and streets in Bath to do the same. Prior Park Buildings residents in the late 19th century and early 20th century included members of the Horstmann, Fortt, and Bowler families, so providing a direct link to the Museum's coverage of businesses in Bath.

Local historian Nigel Pollard researched and curated an exhibition on the Centenary of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924, when the City of Bath had a Pavilion - it was exceptional for a city to have its own exhibition space at such a prestigious event. The Pavilion building was re-erected and is now the 'Temple of Minerva' in the Botanic Gardens. Nigel Pollard then gave the annual Michael Cross Lecture in October.

The All Day Long: Bath in 50 Portraits project (2022) project, portrait photographs of contemporary workers in Bath, was shown again over the winter 2024/25.

The Somerset & Dorset Railway platform sign from Green Park Station was donated from the collection of the late Rob Coles by his son. It has been affixed to the wall in the entrance stairwell area, together with a charming 1960s photograph of Mrs Coles shivering on the station platform alongside the sign. During the year the Museum also received donations of archive documents.

Events

Talks, film screenings and other events were held throughout the year.

During Bath Fringe Festival there were three films (The Day the Earth Caught Fire, Culloden, The Time Machine); a successful Meccano weekend 8-9 June; and a lecture by art historian Professor Ann Sumner Court on Canvas, introducing tennis as our theme for the 2025 exhibition. Towards Christmas we showed Scrooge (1951), the adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

We did free entry on Friday 6 September for the national Heritage Open Days festival, attracting 44 visitors (double the previous year), and two talks about the history of the building since its opening as a Real Tennis Court in 1777.

At February half-term we showed the film Saving the Bowler Collection and the Museum Making team ran activities for children and families including object handling and a children's trail 'Bubbles the Bottle'. We took this opportunity to gather visitor data and encourage conversations and feedback about the Museum and what people would like to see in future.

In March we were pleased to work with the Curious Minds festival and show A Personal History of David Copperfield - some of the bottling factory scenes were filmed in the Museum. 30-40 people came and enjoyed a short introductory tour - almost all were new visitors to the Museum.

Projects

Improvement projects this year have focussed on improving 'back office' systems in order to make the business more robust and resilient, as well as benefiting visitors and customers.

Xero accounting software and a new EPOS till have been introduced and set-up: we thank new Trustee Andy Keith for the immense amount of time he has put into this project. The till now links all admissions and sales transactions directly to Xero record-keeping. We also commissioned a secure system with back-up for email and electronic filing: thanks are due to volunteer John Marsh, Chair of the Friends of the Museum, for handling the specification of this and overseeing set-up by the supplier, Onfinity.

The website is regularly updated with new content, which is flagged in a monthly short newsletter. Website features now include 'Archive Tales' exploring items in the collection and aspects of local history, and a timeline for the history of building.

The audio-guide handsets are being gradually replaced with QR codes alongside displays, for people to access on their smartphone. Handsets will be retained for a time and then phased-out.

The projector and screen have been height-adjusted, the amplifier/sound system improved, and an induction loop installed - all contributing to an improved visitor experience. This work was partly funded by the Friends of the Museum and partly from a grant from West of England Combined Authority received in 2023/24.

Building improvements

Two bicycle stands supplied by Life Cycle and subsidised by B&NES Council were provided free of charge and installed.

The reception and shop area was improved in time for the April 2025 new season. The Bowlers counter remains the highlight and introduction to the Museum, and is now augmented by a new admissions desk nearby; this provides a better working environment and greater comfort for the volunteers on the desk. Shop displays have been re-configured to accommodate this.

Fire and intruder alarms systems have been upgraded.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

We are sincerely grateful to Bath & North East Somerset Council's Heritage Services for their ongoing support subsidising 50% of our rent, and the encouragement, advice and support of senior officers.

During 2024/25 we also received the second of two grant payments of £10,000 from the Roper Family Charitable Trust, and £10,000 from The Stephen Clark Charitable Settlement 1965, the Museum's very valued and longstanding supporter.

Unrestricted

Roper Family Charitable Trust £10,000.00

The Stephen Clark Charitable Settlement 1965 £10,000.00

The planned project with BEMSCA (Bath Ethnic Minority Senior Citizens Association), Moving Stories, unfortunately did not happen due to pressure of work at BEMSCA and Fairfield House. We hope to work with them in some other way during the course of the Museum Making project. Accordingly, the grant for this project from the Association of Independent Museums (AIM) was returned un-spent.

Legacy giving

In 2024 we launched a promotion to encourage legacy-giving.

Unexpectedly, a very generous legacy to the Friends of the Museum was received from the Estate of the late Geoffrey Dust, £20,755. He was a retired engineer and lived in Bath, and we are truly grateful for his support.

Risk management

The Board maintains a Risk Register which is reviewed at every Board meeting, and the leading risk to be managed is stability of income and the need for increased income to cover costs. We are determined to generate increased income from all sources, including: increased visitor numbers and ticket yield, increased shop sales, and individual giving.

* Since 2022/23 we have counted people attending the various groups who hire the museum for meetings, because they use and benefit from the Museum.

Ticket prices for 2024/25 were retained at the same level as 2023/24.

Visitor numbers are low during the winter period. We were closed in December, January and the first half of February; open for February half-term; and open weekends only in March. This means a small loss of admissions income, but this is offset by the amount saved on heating. We will keep this under review.

GOVERNANCE

The Trustees gratefully thank the Museum Director, Stuart Burroughs, for his ongoing passion and commitment to the Museum and its collection.

BATH INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE TRUST LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02269894)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

During the year here reviewed, we welcomed two new Trustees to the Board: Andy Keith and Cleo Newcombe-Jones. Each brings very welcome professional expertise to the Board, in financial planning and administration and in urban design and planning, respectively.

Trustees contribute very significant time and expertise, especially on financial administration, business planning and project management. In particular, Andy Keith has led on significant improvements to financial administration.

The Friends of Museum of Bath at Work continue to play a crucial role in fundraising and volunteering, and we record our thanks to the volunteers on the Friends committee. At least 40 other volunteers run the front desk, assist with cleaning and maintenance of machinery and other exhibits, and undertake research and cataloguing.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

BATH INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE TRUST LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02269894)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Bath Industrial Heritage Trust Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

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)).
