The five museums are a key national resource. With an unparalleled collection in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine, SMG is uniquely placed to draw people of all ages to engage with science in an inspirational and informal way. It is the most significant group of science museums in the world, with over 7 million items in the collection, and received nearly 6 million visits a year. The Group has ambitious strategic plans for the coming years, as outlined in Inspiring Futures: Strategic Priorities 2017-2030 (available on the SMG website), despite the challenging economic environment and continuing uncertainty over Government funding. These plans include significant investment in the physical and digital estates, continuing exhibition and gallery development, and investment in new methods of income generation. SCMG Enterprises Limited As is common in the charity sector, taxable trading activities are carried out by a trading subsidiary. In Enterprises, these activities include: o general retailing (through both on site and online channels) o the operation of cinemas and interactive simulators, o catering, o corporate hire, o brand licensing, image sales, and publishing, and o sponsorship of commercial exhibitions. These activities take place across the group's five museums. An operating agreement exists between the Museum and Enterprises under which facilities and services are provided to one another, with the terms and conditions of these provisions recorded and the costs recharged. This covers, but is not limited to: o charges for the use of fixed assets, which are mainly owned by the Museum o charges for Corporate Services - Estates, Finance, ICT, HR - provided by the Museum to Enterprises o charges for the raising of sponsorship by the Museum's Development team o recharges of staff costs for those staff employed by Enterprises but working on Museum activities and vice versa. Enterprises has traditionally distributed all taxable profits to the Museum under the Gift Aid scheme. An annually renewed deed of covenant covers this distribution.
