## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** (continued)
## **Policies and objectives** (continued)
## _**Core activities**_
Standpoint Gallery curates shows from submission and invitation, concentrating on emerging/mid-career artists from the UK and internationally who are outside of the commercial gallery system. All projects are developed in collaboration with selected artists and aim to provide a platform for innovative new work and ideas. The exhibitions are open to the public and are accompanied by a program of talks and discussions that cover all areas of current contemporary practice from conception through to curating.
The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award is administrated by Standpoint and funded by the Mark Tanner Trust. The Award receives a rolling payment (in the region of £23,450 annually) for distribution and development in support of artists practice, administration, selection, exhibition, promotion and publication. It was inaugurated in 2001 and is a principle annual event in the gallery program. The award is open to emerging sculptors from mainland UK and offers £10,000 direct to the artist towards the production of new work, a solo exhibition and a national touring program. The awardee is selected from open call by a panel which includes a distinguished guest selector. It is the most significant award in the UK for an emerging sculptor.
Standpoint implemented a new program of ‘New-Artist Residencies’ in 2020. Taking place in our Dedicated Art studio, the residencies aims to provide post art collage opportunities to recent graduates. The studio offers the prospect of making a new body of work that consolidates their final year exhibition practice and exploit any contacts or expressions of interest. The 6 week residency is selected from submission and provides a studio with 24 hours access and small stipend for materials or mentoring visit. Standpoint’s resident studios – ceramics, letterpress, print, and painting - offer opportunities for collaboration and the curator Emma Kelly provides gallery support and career advice.
Standpoint recognises that involvement in the arts advantages individuals and the community in beneficial ways and provides access to the arts at all levels. We offer an Art Education program of high quality, relevant, art activities to meet the demands of a culturally diverse community. Our targeted workshops take place in the resident artists’ studios where groups have access to professional tools, materials and equipment to learn new skills and gain an insight into the working practice of experts in their fields. Projects have involved painting, drawing, sculpture, etching, letter press, printmaking, photography, film, animation, and ceramics. Standpoint works with disadvantaged groups, special needs, youth clubs and community groups, and local schools, colleges, arts groups and the general public
Standpoint Studios comprises 6 art studios providing creative workspace for 7 permanent resident artists and 15 additional artists. The resident artists have diverse specialist knowledge in etching, photo-litho, letterpress, ceramics, painting and conservation. They are recognised as experts in their field with contacts at leading museums and galleries. Alongside developing their own practice they participate in Standpoints Professional Practice program including, tours, talks, demonstrations, master classes, internships, work placements and mentoring for under/post graduate, schools, colleges and specialist art groups - both local, national and international.

## **Management Council’s report** 31 March 2023
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
For the year ended 31 March 2023, the Charity received unrestricted income of £47,306 (2022: £48,802) and restricted income of £47,537 (2022: £39,546). Unrestricted expenditure totalled £55,221 (2022: £54,516) and restricted expenditure was £42,336 (2022: £57,020). Unrestricted reserves carried forward by the Charity as at 31 March 2023 were £24,493 (2022: £32,408) and restricted reserves carried forward were £41,927 (2022: £36,726).
The unrestricted reserves of £24,493 are held over to cover three months operating expenditure, which equates to approximately 5 months based on 2022 levels. Currently these are slightly above our normal level due to savings made in the current subsidised business rates coupled with stable resident artist rates and delays to refurbishment works. These reserves will be used in future accounting periods for repair work and further education funding.
The restricted reserves of £41,927 comprises the rolling Mark Tanner Award which is held in a separate account for distribution to realise and advance the award in accordance with the Mark Tanner Trusts wishes.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
- A program of 3 touring shows for the MTSA artist in Kendal, Leeds and Bury starts in April;
- In October, the publication of The Mark Tanner Sculpture Award book and 20th anniversary exhibition will take place;
- A new art workshop program collaboration with Waltham Forest Collage starts in October;
- City Lit curatorial residency in December 2023; and
- Confirmation of the RCA Festus residency in February 2024
## **GOING CONCERN**
The trustees are confident that the charity has implemented the right measures to ensure survival in 12 months’ time. After making appropriate enquiries, the Management Council have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
In preparing this report, the Management Council have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Management Council on [__16 June 23________] and signed on their behalf by:

**Independent examiner’s report** Year to 31 March 2023
**DRAFT**
## **Independent examiner’s report to the Management Council of Standpoint Studios (the ‘Charity’)**
I report to the Charity Management Council on my examination of the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Management Council of the Charity (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements 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
- the financial statements 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)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The notes on pages 12 to 14 form part of these financial statements.
Standpoint Studios **8**
**Principal accounting policies** 31 March 2023
## **Basis of preparation**
Standpoint Studios is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is registered with the Charity Commission (Charity Registered Number 1064750) and Registrar of Companies (Company Registration Number 03437596) in England and Wales. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity. The address of the registered office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the Management Council’s report.
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity and rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The Management Council do not believe there to be any significant accounting estimates or areas of judgement when preparing these financial statements.
## **Income**
All income are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised, the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
The Charity receives grants in respect of furthering its charitable objectives. Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Standpoint Studios **9**
## **Principal accounting policies** 31 March 2023
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
- Costs of raising funds includes costs incurred seeking voluntary contributions through donations, and the running of fundraising events during the year;
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred on furthering the objects of the Charity; and
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the Charity.
The Charity has opted to take the disclosure exemption for providing the name of grant recipients and related amounts as permitted under charity law.
## **Support cost allocation**
Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to expenditure on raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the running of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
The analysis of these costs is included in Note 5.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis with the Management Council believing that no material uncertainties exist. The Management Council have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the Charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
Standpoint Studios **10**
**Principal accounting policies** 31 March 2023
## **Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**
Debtors are recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Creditors are recognised when the Charity has a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event and the settlement is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits.
## **Funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Management Council in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Taxation**
The company is a charity under the Finance Act 2010 (schedule 6, paragraph 1) definition. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (part 11, chapter 3) or the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (section 256), to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No tax charge arose in the period.
