Museum Development North East Annual Survey of Museums 2016/17 Volunteer-run Museums

Introduction Summary of findings There are 10 Accredited museums in the North East that are primarily volunteer led.

Figure 1: Total visits by museum, excluding Aycliffe (see p.3) Economic impact of visits This group of museums helped make an important contribution to the North East economy in 2016/17. Using the AIM Economic Impact Toolkit, which was developed to help museums express the gross impact of visits in terms of economic value, the gross visitor impact created by these 8 museums in the North East economy was £547,284 This is around 10% of gross visitor impacts for the North East region For an explanation of the AIM Economic Impact Toolkit, and to see how the calculations developed can be used, please see the full North East report.

Financial Operations Retail and catering The museums represented in this summary provided information on their financial operations. 50% (4) reported financial data for the year 1st April 2016 – 31st March 2017; the remaining 50% (4) reported financial for different time periods within 2016/17. Income The total income generated and received by these museums was £516,074, which breaks down as follows: £112,333 in earned income (including admissions, retail, catering, events, hospitality, educational and other earned income from trading, e.g. property rental) £18,000 received in regular public subsidy (including ACE MPM/National Portfolio funding) £206,801 received in grant funding £33,559 received in donations £145,381 received in other contributed income (including all money received friends members/schemes, any sponsorship income, corporate membership, or other non-earned income) Admission charges 87% (7) of these museums reported that they charge for admission: Museums generated an estimated total of £51,999 in admission charges, based on a sample of 57% (4) of museums who charge for admission Admission income is 46% of total monies generated in earned income in 2016/17 The average charge for adult admission was £4.36 The average charge for child admission was £3.00 Retail and catering 87% (7) of these volunteer led museums operate a retail space within their museum, whilst 37% (3) reported that they have an in-house café. Museums generated an estimated total of £14,299 in retail income based on a sample of 62% (5) of museums with retail spaces Average retail spend per head equated to £0.27 Museums generated an estimated total of £3,240 through in-house catering, based on a sample of 66% (2) of the museums who have their own café Donations Donations are an important additional source of income for museums, especially those which are independent governed and volunteer led. 87% (7) of museums reported that they received donations to their museum in 2016/17 Total money received in donations was £33,559 reported by the above 87% (7) of the 8 volunteer led museums who responded to the survey Average donations per head equated to £0.55 Impact of spend on goods and services There was an estimated £398,6453 of direct, indirect and induced impacts as a result of spending on goods and services by these volunteer led museums in the North East. The calculation is based on museum expenditure figures, excluding staff spend, from 87% (7) of respondent museums taking into account ‘leakage’, ‘displacement ’, ‘deadweight’ and multiplier factors using estimates developed by DC Research. For full example of this calculation please see the full North East 2016/17 report.

Workforce Changes over time Volunteers Volunteers are an intrinsic part of the museums. Their work and their contributions have an impact on how these museums are governed, how they operate as business, how their care for their collections and how they engage with audiences to create a high-quality visitor experience: There were a total of 324 active volunteers at these museums in 2016/17 These volunteers represented 42% of the total head count of volunteers in the North East in 2016/17 The total head count per museum ranged between 30 - 50 volunteers These volunteers contributed an estimated total of 40,817 hours to their museums in 2016/17 Volunteer hours reported by these museums represented 46% of the total number of hours contributed by volunteers in the North East region in 2016/17 Paid staff 50% (4) of the volunteer led museums in this summary reported that they did employ a small number of paid staff. The total number of paid staff employed by these was 12 This equates to 2.7 Full Times Equivalents From this it can be inferred that a high percentage, if not all, of the 12 paid staff are employed on a part time or casual/season basis Changes over time Figure 2: Changes between 2015/16 and 2016/17   2015/16 2016/17 Percentage change Total visits 62,961 42,170 -33% Gross impact of visits £781,533 £547,284 -29% Gross income generated £419,469 £516,074 +23% Total volunteers 297 324 +9% Total volunteer hours 27,064 40,817 +50%
