Objectives and activities

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.

Report by the Co-Chairs of the Board of Trustees, Bermondsey Artists’ Group.

2022-23 continued to see the charity’s local and national profile blossom, gaining much renown for our contemporary commissioning, touring, and community engagement alike. In a challenging climate we were able to celebrate the continuation of our role within Arts Council England’s National Portfolio, following a powerful application by our fantastic team.

Thanks to funds received in the previous financial year we continued to work with Cause 4 to develop a refreshed business model and set a pathway for organisational development to enable the future sustainability and growth of our small team and ambitious programmes.

This year we:

We consolidated our Seasonal Programme this year - branding each new show within one of the 4 seasons, which we believe will elevate the status of our Winter programming whilst making our programme announcements more festive and more in keeping with our daily life in the park. The galleries burst into action in spring 2022 with a major double venue commission of new work alongside a survey by Walthamstow-based Candida Powell-Williams, which beautifully encapsulated how we respond thoughtfully to our park, its histories and ecologies through considered programming whilst providing a supportive platform to artists of all backgrounds to increase their visibility.

Spring 2022 saw the close of Bedywr Williams’s national tour, culminating at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. MILQUETOAST was a fantastic exhibition of new drawings, painting and video which provided a much enjoyed tongue-in-cheek satire of the art world. We commissioned this show in partnership with our friends at Ty Pawb, Wrexham, Aberystwyth and it also toured to KARST, Plymouth. Our touring programme continues to flourish, driving greater visibility to the artists we exist to support whilst strengthening the charity’s national profile and partnership relationships - ensuring a sustainable and successful programming future ahead.

Our popular summer programme comprised 2 bold new bodies of work by London based Appau Jnr BoakyeYiadom at Dilston Gallery and Yorkshire based Lydia Blakeley at Lake Gallery. Lydia’s show received a great critical response including the title of Time Out’s Best Summer Show in their last ever print edition.

Trustees' Report

In Autumn we welcomed Miko Veldkamp, the Surinamese Dutch-Indonesian painter who joined us from New York with thanks to Workplace Gallery whose support made this show possible. We continued to work with our longstanding university partners The Royal College of Art, Camberwell College of Art & LCC on vital professional development via annual exhibitions showcasing emerging talent.

We continued our Annual Artist Flags Commission with the brilliant Rosa-Johan Uddoh in partnership with neighbouring park gallery The Bower in Camberwell, supported by Southwark Council’s Black History month fund. We hosted Bermondsey based Boundless Theatre to present their new show for Young People at Dilston Gallery.

We established a new HE partnership with RCA Curating Contemporary Art (CCA) which continues to develop interesting curatorial development programmes for creative leaders of the future, and Goldsmiths Alumni.

Our Salter Space Community Hub at Lake Gallery continues to flourish as a site where we share our Southwark histories, lived experiences and community action. The programme included The Spirit of the Salters Lives On curated by local historian and neighbour Sheila Taylor, Salter Centenary Coordinator, it was presented as part of the year-long Salter Centenary in celebration of the 100th year anniversary of Ada becoming the first female mayor in London and Alfred being elected an MP. Following the close of the exhibition a blue plaque was installed adjacent to Lake Gallery, commemorating Ada’s parkside home, championed by Dame Judi Dench.

Our 38th Annual Open, presented 372 works by 227 artists, the highest volume of artists since our founding exhibition in 1984.

We worked with our Seniors Art School to create a new publication, Virtual Atmospheres which celebrated the works created by our group during the previous year’s lockdowns. The group also participated in workshops with artist and choreographer Florence Peake to develop the beginnings of her 2023 exhibition Ensemble, working together to create mark making via collective movement.

Our monumental commission by British artist Joseph Buckley was acquired by Arts Council Collection following our 2021 exhibition Trouble in Outer Heaven, curated by writer & publisher Jamie Sutcliffe, and 2 works commissioned by Welsh artist Bedwyr Williams were acquired by The Government Art Collection following the close of our national tour MILQUETOAST.

We successfully completed a Lake Gallery Capital Feasibility Plan, to RIBA stage 2, Project managed by our Bermondsey neighbours ASSEMBLE and made possible with thanks to The Cockayne Foundation - Grants for the Arts.

We would not have had such a successful and formative year if it were not for the support and belief of our funders, supporters and audiences, and the dedication, passion and energy of our incredible gallery team and fellow Trustees.

We look towards 2023-24 with optimism and renewed strength, to a more resilient and flexible organisation that continues to provide a platform for the very best multidisciplinary contemporary art and truly meaningful community engagement.

Paul Franklyn & Giles Smith, Co-Chairs of the Board of Trustees, Bermondsey Artists’ Group (Bermondsey Artists’ Group managing Southwark Park Galleries).

Tilt Shift: Shadows of the Seasoned Sun // Candida Powell-Williams

Spread across both of our galleries, this was Williams’ most ambitious exhibition to date. Inspired by gardens that drip with myths, mysticism and metaphorical associations to female bodies, Tilt Shift responds to Southwark Park. With a nod to local social reformer and environmentalist Ada Salter (1866–1942) and her hand in the cultivation of the park and the ‘beautification’ of Bermondsey, Powell-Williams centred the exhibition around quintessential architectural garden elements of the past: the fountain and the folly. The exhibition included an in-conversation event at Dilston Gallery between writer and critic Hettie Judah and Candida Powell Williams where they explored Candida’s exhibition within the context of her vast research practice which explores the mystic, mythical and metaphorical associations with the female body, motherhood and histories of landscape. The exhibition was generously supported by The Paul and Louise Cooke Endowment, Ada’s Circle (Aude Fourcade, Marcelle Joseph, Bosse & Baum) and Arts Council England .

7 May 2022 // Lake Gallery: Garden & Bermondsey Bothy

For us, to share // Recipe Book Launch

Artist Saima Rasheed and Mother Tongues (a local and global multidisciplinary collective) worked with students from the Bosco Centre in Rotherhithe and, over a series of four workshops, they explored ideas of home via food, spice, and the in-between space of translation. The group – all of whom currently call Southwark home, including refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and other local residents – came together to share stories, recipes and food. The young people explored local history archives at John Harvard Library in Southwark, painted with herbs and spices and translated their own recipes of home through multiple forms of media to create a visual recipe book that brings many different cultures together into one place. The project was facilitated by students from the Royal College of Art, MA Curating Contemporary Art Programme in partnership with Southwark Park Galleries and the Bosco Centre.

10 July – 4 September 2022 // Lake Gallery

The High Life // Lydia Blakeley

Representing her largest solo exhibition in the UK, Blakely presented a series of paintings, painted sculptural sun loungers and cool box planters containing cacti and crystals. Taking the 1995 Microsoft advertising campaign ‘Where do you want to go today?’ as a point of departure (where a montage of people connect and explore via the internet) and linking it with the Covid-19 pandemic (where people also had to experience the world through the internet) Blakeley’s installation looked at the digital realm of escapism during a period of crisis. Using imagery from holiday websites and the influx of budget holiday adverts, Blakeley’s intention for the paintings was to ‘suspend those fleeting and aspirational scenes for the viewer’s contemplation’. This exhibition was generously supported by The Paul and Louise Cooke Endowment, Arts Council England, Niru Ratnam, London and Partizan.

10 July – 4 September 2022 // Dilston Gallery

Before: Socialized, Circularized, Linearized, Artificialized, Corrupt Time // Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom

This was an extensive new multimedia installation that was constantly evolving over 4 chapters throughout the exhibition to create a cumulative body of work including print, archival material, film, sculpture, sound and performance that served as a thinking space to consider collective cultural moments and memories. Live collaborations with musicians punctuated the exhibition with the recordings contributing to a metamorphosing soundscape. Each chapter shifted connections and references into a combined narrative that grew and continually expanded to realise Boakye-Yiadom’s intent to ‘explore plurality, highlight cultural collisions and exploit the performative possibilities of cultural commodities, everyday objects, film, music and images’. The exhibition was generously supported by The Paul and Louise Cooke Endowment, Arts Council England, Omni Colour, Partizan and Rabbet Framing.

The spirit of the Salters lives on // www.saltercentenary.org.uk

This exhibition celebrated Ada (1866–1942) and Alfred Salter (1873–1945), the remarkable couple who transformed Bermondsey in the first half of the 20th century through social reform, improvement of health and housing and a ‘beautification’ programme. In 1922 Ada became the first female Mayor in London and Alfred was elected MP. As we face the climate crisis, worldwide homelessness and a global pandemic, their three key issues of environment, housing and public health have never been more relevant. This exhibition was part of the year-long project ‘Salter Centenary’ curated by Sheila Taylor, Salter Centenary Coordinator.

Featured artists and contributors included: Eugene Ankomah, E.F. Ball, Paul Butler, Jane Deakin, Diane Gorvin, Nigel Moyce, Peter and Sue Rogers, Sarah Vaughan, Karin Wach, Leanne Werner.

18 September – 6 November 2022 // Lake Gallery

Second Nature // Miko Veldkamp

This exhibition was the first UK institutional solo exhibition of the work of Suriname born Dutch-Indonesian painter Miko Veldkamp. Continuing his exploration on race, privilege and cross-cultural identity, Veldkamp created a new body of large-scale paintings where literal and symbolic references to disperse places came together in the artist’s layered process and unique painterly lexicon. The exhibition was generously supported by Arts Council England, Workplace and Partizan.

21 September – 7 October 2022 // Dilston Gallery

Addictive Beat // Boundless Theatre

We hosted Boundless Theatre’s presentation of ‘Addictive Beat’ – a explosive new play written by Dawn Kink and directed by Rob Drummer with original new music from DJ Anikdote and original score from Dom Coyote. Part gig and part theatre, it’s was a standing-room-only show which featured the story of two best friends who create ‘the one’ perfect track which has the potential to change their lives forever. Boundless Theatre’s production was generously supported by Cockayne – Grants for the Arts and The London Community Foundation.

12 October 2022 // Dilston Gallery

O Complex Mass (A Concrete Liturgy for Dilston Gallery) // John Lawrence

This was a new site-specific performance work by artist John Lawrence, with composer Stephen Crowe and experimental London-based choir Musarc. It was made in response to our historic Dilston Gallery and asked how a building might dream about itself: its own purpose, history, materiality and meaning. The work was developed over an extended period of site-responsive research and produced specifically for and about Dilston Gallery through an approach Lawrence refers to as ‘spatial writing’ (alluding to both Spatial Music and site-writing practices). This was a project by John Lawrence with graphic score by Stephen Crowe performed by Musarc and generously supported by Arts Council England.

4 – 6 November 2022 // Dilston Gallery

CHURCH | FACTORY // MA Fine Art students from Camberwell College of Arts, UAL

This exhibition spread across two sites, Dilston Gallery & The Copeland Gallery, presented an ambitious collection of work spanning sculpture, computational arts, photography, painting, drawing and printmaking.

Annual Open Exhibition 2022 // Diverse artists from across the UK

The Annual Open exists to encourage artists at all stages of their career to submit their work as part of a large-scale annual salon show. Since the gallery opened in 1984, the Annual Open has been a highlight of Southwark Park Galleries’ calendar. This year, the exhibition brought together over 350 works from artists of all backgrounds from across the UK. The exhibition showcased the diverse practices of artists working today, with drawing, painting, photography, print, sculpture and video work presented. From its inception, the ethos of the Open has always been about accessible participation for all; to this day there is no selection criteria or judging panel. Each year a ‘Best in Show’ prize is awarded, generously donated by Breckman & Company. This year’s prize of £500 towards a solo exhibition in our Salter Space was awarded to Lewis Greener who was selected by artists Appau Jnr Boakye-Yiadom and Lydia Blakeley.

Noise Bodies // London College of Communication MA Sound Arts Postgraduate exhibition

The exhibition’s title, ‘Noise Bodies’, was a tribute to artist Carolee Schneemann and composer James Tenney’s eponymous 1965 performance work. ‘Noise Bodies’ produced what Schneemann termed an “own body sound system”. This exhibition expanded on this notion of ‘co-mingling’ to include the coming together of the works of the 18 graduating sound artists who touched on multiple questions of embodiment, human and otherwise, and their entanglement.

2022 - 23 Free Public Engagement Programme

Our Public Engagement programme plays a central role in our organisation meeting its civic duty to continually contribute towards improving the lives and experiences of the diverse communities of North-East Southwark.

October 2021 – October 2022 // Public Art in Southwark Park on the flagpoles in front of our galleries. Wampanoag Power & The British Dream // Habib Hajallie

As part of our annual programme we celebrate Black History Month by commissioning artists with a Global Majority heritage to create two new flags to be displayed for a year on our flagpoles in Southwark Park. This year we commissioned artist Habib Hajallie who drew upon the research he undertook during his residency at Southwark Park Galleries’ Bermondsey Bothy in August 2021 as part of the Mayflower 400 Project. This marked the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower ship’s journey from Rotherhithe via Plymouth to North America. The project critically retraced the Mayflower story examining its current resonances by addressing the themes of tolerance, migration, enterprises and community. ‘Wampanoag Power’ is a self-portrait drawn during the artist’s residency at the gallery on a copy of John Bunyan’s ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress (1736)’.

Hajallie’s second flag, ‘The British Dream’ draws on the notion of “the American dream”, a familiar trope in the Western world. For many immigrants, Great Britain is also representative of a land of true opportunity. This ballpoint pen portrait depicts the artist’s grandmother Huda, drawn on an 1866 geographical text, framed within an authentic Sierra Leonean fabric collage. The Artist Flags commissioning project was generously supported by Omni colour.

11 May to 21 October 2022 // Dilston Gallery & Southwark Park Seniors Art School

Our highly popular series of free sociable art workshops for local residents with inquisitive and open minds over the age of fifty-five. Participants develop their critical skills and learn new creative techniques as part of a small group. Enthusiastic feedback demonstrates that local seniors find our galleries exciting places to visit. They enjoy meeting artists, learning new skills, taking part in dynamic cultural conversations, meeting other local residents with whom they learn together and form new friendships. Many seniors who experience isolation tell us that they welcome the safe and friendly space that we create for them to socialise as well as learn new skills. Three sessions comprised in-person two-day workshops, from 11am to 3pm, while one session was delivered digitally at the request of the Seniors themselves and comprised four half-day workshops, each running from 11 am to 1 pm. The programme comprised of:

20 May – 28 October 2022 // Community Allotment in the Lake Gallery’s Garden

Family Allotment Club for Low-Income Families in North-East Southwark

Initiated in April 2009 by artist Janice Macaulay as part of her Healthy Living agenda created in response to the extremely high levels of childhood obesity in North-East Southwark. The Community Allotment has played a highly valued central part in Southwark Park Galleries meeting its civic role for our local community. By offering the residents of Bermondsey & Rotherhithe the opportunity to learn new skills, meet & bond with their diverse neighbours and build new relationships that go beyond the activities that we offer.

The sessions are open to local families with pre-school families in our beautiful and fully accessible garden. Each Friday during the growing season there are two drop-in sessions available: 10-10.45 am and 11-11.45 am with no booking required where families learn gardening and healthy living skills by working together to grow and harvest food, do some planting, take care of seedlings (that they were also able to take home to grow on windowsills or on their balconies). They also have great fun exploring bugs and getting stuck into art, craft and making activities (such as painting with mud using paint brushes made out of natural materials, making creatures using pinecones and making texture rubbings of leaves) together with learning about the bio-diversity that our beloved Southwark Park has to offer. We continuously achieve a high level of repeat attendees who really appreciated that we ensure that there is always something new for them to do every week and where they become comfortable with learning in a creative cultural environment. The allotment sessions were led by our Community Gardener, Anne Gumuschian, supported by our Workshop Leaders Alexa Lowe and Abigail Hunt with Workshop Assistants Ruby Barclays, Laura Dee Milnes and Kaia Goodenough who devised weekly sessions in conversation with the participants and signpost them to our own broader offer and the other great opportunities that other local organisations have to offer. The allotment sessions concluded on 28 October with an end-of-season celebration bonanza! This project was g enerously supported by Southwark Council through the North-East Wards Neighbourhood Fund and the Coop Local Community Fund.

Artist Diana Agunbiade-Kolawole encouraged everyone to experiment with their image making ideas and provided everyone with professional tips on creating the best composition and on how to present their work.

23 October 2022 – October 2023 // Public Art flags in Southwark Park & Brunswick Park

SHE IS STILL ALIVE! // Rosa-Johan Uddoh

Artist Rosa-Johan Uddoh was co-commissioned by Southwark Park Galleries and The Bower to create two new artworks for our public flagpoles in Southwark Park and Brunswick Park. Launched during Black History Month and exhibited for a full year, the work celebrates the life and work of Southwark resident Una Marson (1905–65). Marson was a British-Jamaican activist, radio producer, presenter and poet renowned for her pioneering anti-colonial, antiracist, feminist and pan-African activism and the first Black radio producer at the BBC in 1942. The works are a continuation of Uddoh’s previous sound piece ‘Una’s Voice’ exhibited at The Bower earlier in 2022, which draws on the legacy of Marson’s BBC radio programme Caribbean Voices that broadcast Caribbean writing. Made with current Southwark residents from the Caribbean diaspora, Uddoh’s sound work re-visits and re-presents Marson’s poetry, interwoven with her own writing, and draws upon Bajan poet Kamau Brathwaite’s key text ‘History of the Voice’ (1984), which asserted the Caribbean voice as a distinct nation language. This commission was generously supported by Southwark Council’s Black History Month Grant and Arts Council England.

21 November – 1 December 2022 // John Donne Primary School

School Outreach Ecology Sessions: Talking Plants

Talking Plants was a series of workshops led by Artist Associate Kristina Pulejkova with Year 4 students at John Donne Primary School. It used simple electronics, plants, sound, and storytelling to create an interactive piece of work that gave voice to plants through sensor-based technology. The students learnt about the plant world and its intricate connections to us and the immediate environment. By teaching the students how to create interactive artworks using simple sensor-based electronics in a STEAM-based approach, the artist inspired and empowered the children to seek out further connections between art and science, technology, and the environment. The final output was an innovative, lightweight, interactive sculpture formed by a set of 12 plants, decorated with motifs taken from the collages created during the workshops. As people hovered over the plants with their hands, they ‘wake up’ the plants and heard their voices and stories imagined by the students. The artwork was presented in the Salter Space at Lake Gallery from Thursday 11 to Sunday 21 May 2023.

Talking Plants is part of our popular and ever-growing School Outreach Ecology Sessions programme, which brings free art sessions into local schools, addressing the themes of environment and climate change. Our talented and experienced Artists Associates spend two weeks in residency at a local primary school, delivering high quality creative and educational ecology sessions, aligned with the curriculum requirements. The project aims to raise awareness around the topic of ecology and what we can each do to help, whilst celebrating nature by looking at the flora and fauna of different landscapes and the world around us. School Outreach Ecology Sessions were generously supported by RIVA – Residency in Visual Arts

Florence Peake: Reckonings and Imaginings

Free workshops for participants to contribute to the creation of a collective new body of work by leading artist Florence Peake as part of her commissioned exhibition across both our galleries during April to July 2023.

in Dilston Gallery and ‘paint through movement’. The workshop concluded with a reflection on individual’s experience. These workshops contributed to Peake’s creation of one continuous 4m x 45m painting on canvas using gestural and movement marking techniques that was wrapped around the gallery’s walls to interrogate what a painting can be to an excessive, almost camp/hammy degree. The work took the viewer on a journey as they walked from one end to the other simultaneously resisting the idea of the white cube space as the static frame for paintings. These workshops were generously supported by Arts Council England.

26 November 2022 // Dilston Gallery

Wreath-making Workshop With L’Appartement

L’Appartement taught participants about the history of wreaths and then guided them, step by step, through the creation of their own wreath using beautiful high quality and handpicked evergreen, dried foliage and selected decoration. At the end of the workshop, adults left with a 12″ handmade wreath, children left with a 10” wreath plus a small cardboard wreath and everyone left with the knowledge about how they could make more!

About the Bermondsey Artists’ Group managing Southwark Park Galleries

Southwark Park Galleries is the operating name of the Bermondsey Artists’ Group, a not-for-profit charitable company (company number 03353857, charity number 1073851) which manages two buildings in Southwark Park providing free access to exhibitions, performances, learning and wellbeing activities to the community of North-East Southwark. In partnership with our local community, supporters, stakeholders, Southwark Council and Arts Council England both buildings have been refurbished to provide a very high standard of presentation for the artists that we seek to present and are single level fully accessible spaces where we engage with our neighbours and the wider art community. To achieve this, over the past 23 years, the organisation has raised more than £1,500,000 in capital funding to make our buildings fully accessible and inviting to our local community whilst providing exemplary environments for artists to present their most ambitious new works.

The charity manages these venues under the umbrella title of Southwark Park Galleries and has a thriving reputation within the UK arts communities as a test site for ambitious innovative contemporary artistic practise that has, over the past 39 years, offered generations of artists from a broad range of heritages at all stages of their career unique opportunities to exhibit their work to peers, our audiences and neighbours whilst simultaneously nurturing the artistic interests, ambitions and learning opportunities of local families, community groups, pupils and students through our renowned free Public Engagement Programme.

Trustees' Report

What we do

Commissioning

We commission artists and curators at all stages of their careers to provide an annual programme of new and evolved bodies of work and installations.

Working in partnership

We work with other arts and community organisations to realise exhibitions, installations, dance, performance, music, screenings and Public Engagement activities that expand our provision and engage with people from under- represented sections of the community. As the only visual arts-led publicly funded cultural provider in North-East Southwark we understand our civic role to be to create a major fulcrum for cultural engagement by all sections of the local community.

Public engagement

We work in partnership with a wide variety of local organisations to provide a creative cultural venue for community exhibitions, events, presentations of local interest displays including those that share local history and represent lived life experiences of all sections of the local community to ensure that we continue to contribute positively to the civic realm of Bermondsey & Rotherhithe. We also provide a programme of workshops for local people, schools and community groups together with our highly popular Community Allotment in the Lake Gallery’s garden that provides opportunities for low income families with pre-school children living on the adjacent high density social housing estates to learn about growing food and living more healthily.

Within our Public Engagement Programme we continue to invite artists whose practices are concerned with disrupting dominant categories of gender, race, class, sexual orientation, disability and age to work collaboratively with groups and individuals to produce critical and meaningful new work. Our Public Engagement programme in 2022 – 23 was generously supported by RIVA (Residencies in Visual Arts) plus many specific projects were supported by a number of diverse local charities together with national Trusts and Foundations.

Collaborative working continues to play an important and effective role in reaching more people to build a diverse audience. It has enabled us to extend our reach through working with a large number of partners who contribute skills and diverse networks. In recent years these have included Bosco Centre (a local charity providing friendly, caring environment for young people and their families), departments within the London Borough of Southwark, Outside In, The Bethlem Gallery, Royal College of Art, Camberwell College of the Arts, local schools and nonarts specific local groups.

Diversity

We work in partnership with other organisations to present a programme that includes a diverse range of artists and communities. Recent arts sector-wide mosaic profiling research has demonstrated that our engagement with both underrepresented sections of the community and with core art attendees remains extremely strong. We attracted 3.5 times more visitors than the England average from the Kaleidoscope Creativity mosaic (characterised by low levels of cultural engagement) and 7 times more visitors than the England average from the Metroculturals profile (characterised by very high levels of cultural engagement).

Public Benefit

The organisation’s core policy is the promotion of the fullest inclusion in the visual arts by all sections of the community through the provision of inclusive activities that bridge communities, represent National Excellence whilst maintaining Local Relevance. Our policy places public benefit at the centre of all of the organisation's activities. As a long-term established arts organisation, we provide both the local population and the Londonwide audience with opportunities to experience innovative new art. We provide significant exhibition opportunities and a pivotal career platform for lesser-known artists. For more established artists we develop space for experimentation and challenge within their practise. This balanced approach enables us to make a significant contribution to artists’ professional development at varying stages of their careers.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Bermondsey Artists' Group

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 18 - 19 to 33.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. ꞏ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

ꞏ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. Accounting policies

1.1. Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (issued October 2019) 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)), and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity 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).

1.2. Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when:

- Donations and legacies

Grants/donations are recognised in incoming resources in the year in which they are receivable, except as follows:

- Charitable activities

Gallery income - income from the gallery is included in incoming resources in the period in which the relevant exhibition, hire, or activity takes place.

Project specific funding - when donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.

- Donated services and facilities

Donated services or facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
