CORNWALL'S REGIMENTAL MUSEUM
Our Main Activities: Opening the museum on average 6 days each week throughout the year, making our collection available to the visiting public, providing a high-quality research service for the public, developing the museum?s collection and displays for the future public benefit, planning and raising funds to sustain and develop the work of the museum and support its long-term sustainability.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended 2024 with a small overall deficit of £7,184, driven by a closure of the museum in August 2024 which halted admissions and shop sales. Total funds at year-end were £290,795, comprising £95,330 in undesignated unrestricted reserves, which the trustees confirm meets the charity's reserves policy. The charity remains a going concern, having pivoted operations to alternative venues and schools during the building's structural repairs.
