- “2024 completed the second year of the current strategic plan (2023-2027).”
- “This five year plan was agreed by the Board in December 2022 to focus future output.”
- “As part of this process, the wording of the Vision, Mission Statement and Values of the Charity was revisited and streamlined to more appropriately align with the museums aims and objectives moving forward.”
- “Net gains in revaluation of investment assets (realised and unrealised) amounted to £990,992 (2024: £526,629).”
- “The Trustees view 2025 as a year that will bring volatility, due to geo-political uncertainty, the election of Trump and imposing of tariffs.”
- “The Council made charitable donations amounting to £250 (2024: £200) during the year, principally for the benefit of local communities in which the council operates.”
- “NIWM plans to attend the Balmoral Show for the first time since initial fundraising for War Memorial House on Waring Street took place.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
