## **Deptford X Ltd. Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Trustees have adopted 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and Aims** 

Deptford X is a charity based in the London Borough of Lewisham, operating in a historically deprived area of South East London. The trustees believe in the transformative power of the arts to inspire, educate and connect people across social divides, and ensure that every activity provides clear public benefit. 

All Deptford X programmes are free to access and inclusive of age, race, gender, economic background, and disability **.** 

The charity exists to promote the best of contemporary visual art **,** celebrating and supporting the creativity that thrives within Deptford’s community. 

## _Core Principles_ 

- Led by local artistic ambition, interests, and practice. 

- Brings art into informal contexts and public spaces for everyone to access. 

- Makes a positive contribution to the locality, the community, and the wider visual arts. 

- Places equity, accessibility, and care at the heart of the organisation. 

- Holds space and advocates for difference, creativity, experimentation, and learning within art. 

_With our priority focus areas_ , w _e support artists and creative practice, as well as those who do not yet identify as artists:_ 

1. **Global Majority Peoples** - especially local Black and Asian communities: actively redressing under-representation in Deptford X and the wider visual arts. 

2. **Disabled People** - removing barriers to participation and supporting disability-led programming. 

3. **Young People** - building pathways for engagement and ownership of Deptford X through education and youth-centred participation. 

## **People, Premises and Finances** 

During the interim period (March to July 2024) when planning for major core staff changes, the Board passed a special resolution to enable Seema Manchanda to be paid for work over and above her Chair/Trustees roles. With prior written permission from the Charity Commission (by email to Nathalie Boobis on 21 February 2024), this special resolution was passed and documented at the Board meeting on 25 March 2024, which amended clause 5 of the charity's Memorandum of Association to: 

5. The income and property of the Charity shall be applied solely towards the promotion of the Objects and no part shall be paid or transferred, directly or indirectly by way of dividend, bonus

## **Deptford X Ltd. Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

or otherwise by way of profit, to members of the Charity, and no trustee shall be appointed to any office of the Charity paid by salary or fees or receive any remuneration or other benefit in money or money's worth from the Charity: **unless the payment or transaction is previously and expressly authorised in writing by the Charity Commission and** provided that nothing in this document shall prevent any payment by good faith by the Charity: 

It is noted that Charity Commission permission will need to be specifically applied for in all future circumstances. 

Having served as Director since December 2018, Nathalie Boobis left in July 2024 following a weeklong handover to incoming Director Kwong Lee who was previously Director of Castlefield Gallery and Producer at Factory International, Manchester. 

The trustees thank Nathalie for her dedication and significant contributions to Deptford X over the past five and a half years, overseeing a period when we achieved more diverse programming of underrepresented artists and more financial stability with our Arts Council England NPO funding. 

A new General Manager **,** Charlotte Phaure-Davis, joined in August 2024, following a restructuring of the previous Deputy Director role. Both new staff received in-person handovers with Nathalie and continue to meet fortnightly with the Chair to ensure a smooth transition and consistent governance. 

We engaged a number of freelancers during the year, notably Catherine Herbert as the Development Manager and Kate Spires as Volunteer Manager. In March 2025, we were joined by Kellie Blake as Events Manager and Rebecca Russell as Programme Manager for the July Festival. We also paid a number of art technicians during project delivery. 

Deptford X continues to operate from Lewisham Arthouse **,** an arrangement that benefits both organisations and provides valuable access to their workshop and project spaces. 

The trustees’ long-term goal remains to secure buildings that can once again provide work and project spaces for artists to create ambitious art. Discussions are ongoing with Lewisham Council, potential landlords and developers and meanwhile use partners. For public facing projects, we partnered with a number of artist-run spaces, community and public spaces, and negotiate the use of commercial buildings, as in the case for our 2025 festival which will be reported fully on in the 2025/26 Trustees Report. 

Our Arts Council England NPO funding extension is confirmed to March 2027, with a further year’s extension to March 2028 offered, pending on a simple application process in January 2026. Our 3- year Main Grants funding (2022-2025) from Lewisham Council has also been extended to March 2026. Both provides Deptford X with a more solid foundation to evolves its model for providing high quality art to the public and support the development of artists. In this year, unfortunately we were not successful in any other funding bids which reflects the current circumstance of reduced and therefore competitiveness of public and trust and foundation grants. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Significant Activities and Achievements** 

Following the 2023 festival which was our 25[th] anniversary, Deptford X undertook a **strategic review** to address sustainability — economic, environmental, and human resources. The outcome was a decision to transition from an **annual** to a **biennial festival** , allowing for deeper planning, enhanced community engagement, partnership building, and wellbeing support for staff and

## **Deptford X Ltd. Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

volunteers. This decision was shared with our communities of artists and network of organisations, gaining positive feedback, with the suggestion to review the model once we have completed the first biennial cycle in 2025/26. 

## _**Artist Weekender October 2024 (Non-Festival Year)**_ 

During this year, Deptford X piloted and curated its first **Artist Weekender** , continuing to platform and celebrate local talent while providing artists with direct financial support. 

The Weekender had four objectives, all of which were achieved: 

1. Support Deptford artists during the non-festival year. 

2. Establish new and deepen existing partnerships. 

3. Work collaboratively with artists to select and present work. 

4. Provide a high-quality visual arts experience for local audiences. 

The 2024 Artist Weekender received 52 applications, from which 9 projects by 11 artists were commissioned following a selection process made up of local artists Barbara Majek and Roman Aspeek Bloor, Patricia Borecka from Creekside Discovery Centre, and Kwong Lee, Deptford X Director, with the longlist prepared by Kwong Lee and Chair Seema Manchanda. The commissioned artists - Beth Blandford, Nicholas Carn, Yu-Ting Chung & Philippe Malaussene, Gail Dickerson, Andrew Finch, Usva Inei, Juliana Kasumu, Bea Macdonald & Yassmine Betioui, and Palvinder Nangla - showed existing and new works, including three site-specific installations and one UK premiere, and a family friendly workshop. 

The event attracted 562 visitors over the weekend, including more than 200 on the opening night, with 65% attending a Deptford X event for the first time. 81% of audiences were from South East London, and 30% from Deptford (SE8). The collaboration with Creekside Discovery Centre proved highly successful, strengthening community partnerships and broadening the festival’s local reach. Interactive elements such as Usva Inei’s print-making workshop were especially popular, ensuring an engaging, family-friendly experience that reflected Deptford X’s inclusive and community-centred ethos. 

Overall feedback described the event as diverse, cohesive, and well-curated, achieving its aims of continuity, inclusion, and artistic excellence during a transition year. 

## _**Preparations for the 2025 July festival**_ 

The new staff team, with approval of the Board, began preparing the first biennial edition of the festival, planned for July 2025. We had already begun by commissioning Will Pham in 2024 for a cocreated project with the Vietnamese community in Deptford (the largest in the UK), to take place during the year as co-creation takes more time and resources with a showcase at the festival. We were able to help Will successfully apply for his first Arts Council England project grant to support the development of this project. By February we had commissioned two more artists - Sonya Dyer, Habib Hajallie for new work and Ruth Beale as the Parade artist, working with Deptford Green secondary and Watergate primary schools. 

In March 2025, we started regular Artist Meet-up meetings, in person and occasionally on Zoom, to share information on how to get involved with our festival, and to give artists timely advice on fundraising, finding fringe venues and self-marketing. Beyond the July festival, we plan to make these a monthly meeting format to support artists and artist-led groups in Lewisham all year round, bringing in guest speaker in response to aspirations and needs.

## **Deptford X Ltd. Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

In April 2025, four Lewisham based artists from global majority backgrounds were selected from an open call that attracted 44 applicants in our Supported strand. These were Audrey Damier, Thanh Le Dang, Joseph Ijoyemi and Harmeet Singh Rahal. Several of our Trustees with much experience as artists and curators (Haffendi Anuar, Teresa Cisneros, Juliana Kasumu, Suleyman WellingsLongmore) were on the selection panel alongside Kwong, and offered advice to the commissioned artists. 

In May 2025, our open call for Festival Fringe proposals received over 100 applications with over 500 participating artists. The 2025 festival will be reported fully on in the 2025/26 Trustees Report. 

## **VOLUNTEERS** 

The trustees express sincere gratitude to all volunteers who contributed their time, energy, and skills throughout the year. Specifically for the Weekender, we had 14 volunteers, including three from our venue partner Creekside Discovery Centre and two students from Lewisham College. Their commitment remains vital to the success and spirit of Deptford X. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The results of the 12 months to 31 March 2025 are set out in the statement of financial activities. Incoming Resources for the period are £118,259 (2024: £147,049). Resources Expended are £93,414 (2024: £145,242). For the 12 months ended 31 March 2025, Deptford X shows a net surplus of £24,845 (2024: net surplus £1,807). 

Unrestricted funds of the charity amount to £114,860 at 31 March 2025 (2024: £90,016). 

Deptford X would like to thank Arts Council England, London Borough of Lewisham for their support. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees determine that the minimum desirable level of unrestricted designated funds are equivalent to 6 months of unrestricted expenditure (in a festival year) in the form of operational reserves to ensure that in the worst-case scenario a managed exit can be delivered. This includes core and staff costs, redundancy costs for eligible staff members, and some programming costs to ensure all contractors are paid their fees. 

The trustees have determined that a further £10,000 of unrestricted funds should be designated for new building and sustainability costs to enable Deptford X to respond to an appropriate and available leasehold situation fitting with the organisation’s ambitions to once again provide work and project spaces for artists. The trustees have deemed that given the strategic transition from an annual to biennial festival, surplus funds beyond the designated operational and property funds, should be designated for the next festival. 

During the year, the Charity allocated the unrestricted surplus of £114,860 as follows: £58,000 as 6 months of designated operational reserves, £10,000 as designated new building and sustainability reserves, £5,000 as designated education project reserves for the 2025 festival, and £15,000 as designated reserves for the 2025 festival. £26,860 remains as unallocated free reserves. A great achievement for Deptford X in ensuring future sustainability.

## **Deptford X Ltd. Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. 

Deptford X Ltd. 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). 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements are prepared, on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.  The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

## Income with related expenditure 

Where income has related expenditure the income and related expenditure is reported gross in the SoFA. 

## Donations and legacies 

Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the the SoFA when receivable and only when the Charity has unconditional entitlement to the income. In the context of Deptford X, this is primarily grants. 

## Donated services and facitities 

These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. 

## Volunteer help 

The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts. 

## Investment income 

This is included in the accounts when receivable. 

## **Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure: 

## Expenditure on raising funds 

These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising trading costs and investment management costs. 

## Expenditure on charitable activities 

These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. 

## Governance costs 

These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. 

## **Taxation** 

As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only.  Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
