TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Reference and Administrative information on pages 1 and 2 form part of this report.

The trustees confirm that the report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document, and the provisions of "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)" (effective 1 January 2019) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).

Objectives and Activities

The objects of the Charity are to use art and creative activities to improve the health, well-being and quality of life of persons suffering from addiction, illness, injury, disorder, or disability, including (without limitation) any disability or disorder on the autistic spectrum in any location or establishment where any such person is resident or in attendance or where any such person is in receipt of treatment, therapy, convalescence, training, education, or assistance.

In setting Paintings in Hospitals’ objectives and planning its activities, the trustees considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit as required in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and, in particular, its supplementary public benefit guidance on fee charging.

The work of Paintings in Hospitals is recognised by the Department of Health and Social Care, the Care Quality Commission (CQC), NHS England and NHS Wales. The charity’s approach was based on a range of research and evidence, demonstrating the positive effects of displaying and creating visual arts in a wide range of health and social care settings.

The charity’s objects are primarily achieved through our art loans programme, which exists to help create person-centred care spaces that encourage, enrich, and empower everyone who uses them. Experience over 65 years has allowed us to develop a unique collection of over 3,000 artworks. Its art ranges from paintings and drawings to sculptures and animations, some by the world’s greatest artists. All types of health and social care sites can borrow art from the collection.

Structure, Governance and Management

Paintings in Hospitals was established by Trust Deed in 1959 and registered with the Charity Commission in May 1972. Our organisation is a charitable company, limited by guarantee and operates in accordance with its Articles of Association adopted on 16 October 1997 (as subsequently amended).

On 29 July 2025, the charity successfully transferred its business as a going concern to CWPLUS (registered charity number 1169897). This strategic move ensures continuity of services and strengthens the charity’s ability to deliver its mission under the stewardship of CWPLUS. All assets, liabilities, and ongoing operations were transferred under a binding transfer agreement in accordance with applicable regulations, safeguarding the interests of beneficiaries and stakeholders.

Trustees

The Charity was chaired by Professor Jane Anderson CBE until 29 July when the transfer to CWPLUS took place. During the year, Stephen Crampton-Hayward was Vice Chair and Treasurer, but he stood down as a trustee and from these roles on 31 October 2024 prior to becoming Interim Executive Director on 1 November 2024. Following the merger with CWPLUS on 29 July the Board of Trustees was replaced by three CWPLUS trustees: Christopher Turner, Brigid Rentoul, and Nicholas Gash.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Board Committees

During the year there were two committees: Finance & General Purpose, and Strategic Engagement. Each committee was chaired by a nominated trustee and has a mix of skills, and its own terms of reference which are reviewed annually and signed off by the Board. Fundraising was overseen by the Finance & General Purposes Committee and at Board level. The Committees were disbanded following the transfer to CWPLUS.

Risk Management

In the period prior to the transfer of its business to CWPLUS, the trustees regularly updated the risk register and risk management processes which comprised:

This risk management work identified a relatively small number of key risks, but ongoing review resulted in improvements through the implementation of management and mitigation procedures and increased contingency planning. Both financial and non-financial risks were included in the register. The last Board review of the risk register was on 8 March 2025, but it was carefully considered in detail in the period leading up to the merger with CWPLUS.

The most significant risks identified by the Trustees relate to the charity’s continuing viability in the face of:

  1. Spending constraints imposed on the NHS by Government, which affect the ability to maintain and expand our artwork loan programme.

  2. A significant tightening of philanthropic funding, particularly from trusts and foundations, which is being felt throughout the charity sector.

  3. Increased costs following two years of high rates of inflation.

However, the transfer of its business activities to CWPLUS after the year end on 29 July 2025 has secured substantial support for the future of the charitable business activities.

Achievements and Performance

The Trustees measure success through the number of care partners the charity has, where it is working, who it is working with, and the number of engagements it has with patients and staff. To enable care sites and their service users to get the most from the artworks the charity offers creative activities that provide the knowledge and confidence to engage with visual art. These activities often involve service users choosing the artworks they want for display, giving them a say in their own care experiences and improving levels of wellbeing. At the end of March 2025 the charity had 98 live loans, with 151 care partners.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Our Collection

At the end of March 2025, there were 3,126 artworks in our collection (2024: 3,403 artworks). Of these, some 1,859 were at the Earlsfield Business Centre or in external storage, many of which require funds for reframing and conservation. At the same date, there were 1,304 artworks on public display at either our showcase displays or our loan partner sites (2024: 1,608 artworks).

The trustees continued to address the effectiveness of the collection, making it fit for purpose in the post pandemic era. As described above, where they have found that an artwork has not been placed with a care partner or is unlikely to be so because it is for whatever reason unsuitable, they have been deaccessioned and sold to assist the charity’s financial resilience. In total, 253 artworks were deaccessioned in the year to 31 March 2025 (2024: 84 artworks) and 412 further artworks have been deaccessioned since 1 April 2025.

Fundraising

The charity relies on the generosity of trusts, foundations, and individual donors to supplement its income from the artwork loan programme. In the year to 31 March 2025, we received grants of £57,692 (2024: £81,000) and donations of £146,781 (2024: £48,949).

Financial Review

Paintings in Hospitals ended the year with a surplus of £33,765 (2024: deficit of £124,434).

Income for the year was £489,333 (2023: £320,025). This includes £123,194 (2024: £27,780) of income recognised as a result reclassifying certain previously donated artworks, which were not valued in the accounts, as current asset investments.

In addition, as described above, the charity has embarked on a programme to deaccession and, in most cases sell, a number of artworks which have not been and are highly unlikely to be displayed in hospitals and other care settings. The total profit recognised in the year from such artwork sales was £222,528 (2024: £77,269).

Going concern

The trustees have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. Further details are set out in note 1.2 on page 11.

Future Plans

On 29 July 2025, the charity successfully transferred its business as a going concern to CWPLUS (registered charity number 1169897). This strategic move ensures continuity of services and strengthens the charity’s ability to deliver its mission under the stewardship of CWPLUS. All assets, liabilities, and ongoing operations were transferred under a binding transfer agreement in accordance with applicable regulations, safeguarding the interests of beneficiaries and stakeholders.

Reserves

The aim of the trustees is to maintain a level of free, unrestricted reserves of around six months average annual expenditure that will enable Paintings in Hospitals to operate from a financial perspective with certainty and flexibility. At 31 March 2025 free unrestricted reserves (unrestricted funds less fixed assets) increased to a surplus of £153,437 (2024: surplus of £86,821).

Patronage

The Trustees are particularly grateful to the unwavering support and guidance of all our Patrons. Patrons help raise awareness, expand national reach and advocate for all that charity does.

The trustees were deeply saddened to hear of the death of Dame Stephanie Shirley CH, Patron and benefactor of Paintings in Hospitals, on Saturday 9 August 2025.

Dame Stephanie was a great friend, generous funder and advocate of the work of Painting in Hospitals. It was an honour to have her as a Patron of the charity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

1.1 Basis of preparation

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)" (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Paintings in Hospitals meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

1.2 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the charity’s financial position, cash flow forecasts, and future plans, including the level of reserves and available funding.

On 29 July 2025, the charity successfully transferred its business as a going concern to CWPLUS (registered charity number 1169897). This strategic move ensures continuity of services and strengthens the charity’s ability to deliver its mission under the stewardship of CWPLUS. All assets, liabilities, and ongoing operations were transferred under a binding transfer agreement in accordance with applicable regulations, safeguarding the interests of beneficiaries and stakeholders. Accordingly, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

1.3 Company status

Paintings in Hospitals is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 4 Verney House, 1B Hollywood Road, London, SW10 9HS. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

PAINTINGS IN HOSPITALS (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.4 Income

Income from donations, grants and legacies is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable it will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal offer is made in writing, unless the grant contains terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds. Legacies are recognised following the grant of probate when the executor of the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. Donated services are recognised in the period in which they are utilised and are measured at their estimated fair value. Donated paintings are included in incoming and outgoing resources at an estimate of their value.

Loan programme income is apportioned over the period of the rental agreements. Income received in advance is accounted for as deferred income.

Income from other trading activities relates to art print sales and gift shop sales and is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.

Investment income is recognised when it is receivable.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as incurred. Expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

Direct costs are those costs which are directly attributable to the charity's activities. Wages and salaries are allocated to direct costs based on the estimate of time spent on charitable activities by staff members.

Support costs are those costs relating to functions which assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to its activity. Support costs are allocated to charitable activities on the basis of direct costs.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost less their residual values over their expected useful lives at the following annual rates:

Furniture and fittings - 25% Straight line Computer expenditure - 33% Straight line

11

PAINTINGS IN HOSPITALS (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.7 Current asset investments

Current asset investments comprise artworks held for sale and are carried at their estimated realisable value, based on historical experience of the sales prices achieved on previous sales relative to the insurance valuations of those artworks. When such artworks are sold, a profit or loss is recognised for the difference between the carrying value and the proceeds.

1.8 Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial instruments which are classified as basic financial instruments. Short-term debtors and creditors are measured at the settlement value. Any losses from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.9 Fund accounting

The unrestricted funds can be spent on any activity within the charity’s overall objectives. Restricted funds are those subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors. Expenditure which meets these criteria is allocated to the fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.10 Operating leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.11 Pension contributions

The charity makes defined contributions into employee private pension schemes. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities as they become payable.

The charity’s loan collection is not reflected in these accounts as, in the opinion of the Trustees it is a heritage asset and it is neither practical nor beneficial to reflect the true value of the collection. At 31 March 2025 the total collection, which includes lent, purchased and donated artworks, comprised 3,163 works of art. These are insured on a first loss basis for £2.5 million, although they would most likely realise less than this if sold on the open market. Movements on the number of artworks and insured values over the past 3 years are as follows:

31 March
2025 2024 2023
Number of artworks 3,163 3,403 3,679
Insured value £2.5m £2.9m £3.5m

20 Related party transactions

Related parties include the charity’s trustees and key management personnel. The total employee benefits, including employer’s National Insurance and pension contributions, paid to key management personnel during the year was £37,997 (2024: £59,943).
