Achievements and performance

Introduction 2022 was a very full and busy year, with: Completion of 2 ACE funded programmes:

.

Both of these programmes worked together as one Anniversary Programme, involving: partnerships, events, projects, artist development and community engagement. We increased our partnerships by establishing an ongoing series, or multiple events with a number of new and existing partners. This has helped to raise our profile and secure partnerships going forward. It has made more people aware of CSB and our work and enabled us to increase our presence across Birmingham and online.

We Are Birmingham 2022 - Anniversary Project funded through NLHF

A 12 month Anniversary programme to celebrate 20 years of diversity and culture in Birmingham's world music and arts scene - showcasing the work of musicians and artists from refugee and migrant backgrounds.

We Are Birmingham 2022 - Self Portraits - with photographer Brian Homer.

Over 2 months Brian Homer and team travelled to multiple locations across the city inviting people and communities from all backgrounds, to document themselves with self portraits. The aim of the project is to reflect the diversity of Birmingham and give visibility to our refugee and migrant communities.

The photographs were done in the style of Brian's famous 1979 project 'Handsworth Self Portrait’, and "Birmingham Self Portraits" held at the Library of Birmingham in 2011. We set up sessions at different venues, some with refugee and migrant groups and some with the wider community. We worked with around 300 people and held sessions with: Women With Hope, Secret Arts Space Erdington, Symphony Hall, Erdington Six Ways Baptist Church, Aston Hall, South & City College - Handsworth Campus, Centrala.

We curated a collection of these self-portraits into an exhibition which was launched at the prominent Library of Birmingham in conjunction with the Refugee Week Festival.

We are Birmingham 2022 - Self Portraits Exhibition Exhibition 18th June - 18th July - Library of Birmingham, digital wall

The History of CSB - Documentation Project & Archive

To trace and document the work of Celebrating Sanctuary over the last 20 years. We worked with Artist and Documenter Jo Loki to lead on the collection, archiving and presentation of materials. Going through 20 years of information and photographs, and conducting interviews, Jo created a digital archive.

History of CSB - Exhibition and Short Film

Through the project we talked to many people about their involvement with CSB over the years, and recorded interviews with former and current staff, board members, partners, refugee and migrant artists we have worked with, refugee groups and participants. Interviews were edited into a short film alongside photographs from the archive.

Acollection of photographs showing a pictorial account of the last 20 years, were exhibited at Symphony Hall as part of the Finale event, curated by Jo Loki. The film and exhibition were very well received at the Finale event, and we had some very positive feedback. Many people said they had no idea we'd been going for so long and had done so much.

Celebrating Sanctuary Trustees’ Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2022

We ran a series of art workshops with artists Naziah Angel Bottley of Angel Arts and Robbie Dalal, at different locations, with groups of refugees, asylum seekers and the wider community. We worked with approximately 200 people throughout the project. Everyone who took part had the opportunity to explore art materials and techniques, get creative and have fun. They also got to contribute to a group piece or collection of pieces reflecting the theme of the project. We asked them how they saw Birmingham, what it meant to them and how they felt about it. Some expressed it through images and some through words, but all of the work created is a reflection of the diversity, creativity and expression of Birmingham communities in 2022.

We worked with: Handsworth college ESOL groups, Centrala (open session), Stories of Hope and Home group at Carrs Lane Church, ISRA UK, Restore men's group, Gas Street St Lukes, Thimblemill Library (open session), Restore Women's Group at The Edge, Selly Manor Museum (open session), Refugee Action (Rowton Hotel group) at The Edge.

Community Engagement

We delivered community events & projects throughout the year through a number of funded projects and partnerships, including:

Organisational Development

We have developed new skills which benefit CSB in delivery, production and presentation. Our NLHF project encouraged us to think differently, and as a result we have established a better system for documenting our work. We have also developed skills in running multi media aspects of events, and developing the presentation of online events.

Through working with Marketing Consultant Vicky Hargreaves, we've developed more understanding of our promotional needs and content, and have seen the benefits of this. We have also improved our branding by giving different event series' their own identity.

With more partnerships and different kinds of delivery, we've had to develop our programming and look for a wider range of artists. We developed links with promoters outside of Birmingham and SOAS in London for broader artist recommendations.

Artist Development

Achievements and Outcomes

Artists & Events

We delivered 39 events, many of which were high profile partnership events at prestigious venues. We increased and developed partnerships and locations for our work. Our main focus is music but this programme saw different types of delivery, including: Exhibitions, interactive photography, explorative art, research and developing an archive.

Audiences & Participants

Throughout the programme we involved a wide range of people from different cultural backgrounds and ages, as artists, participants and audiences. We had a diverse representation at live events, and increased attendance by refugees and asylum seekers.

Online Audiences and Engagement

Throughout the year we streamed 8 main events and shared numerous mini clips across our platforms, which included, short clips from live events and digital commissions. We also created digital content, a digital archive and online gallery.

Social Media

Facebook is still our main platform, but we increased engagement on Instagram and Youtube with more content. We estimate our content reach to be around 175,000.

Year ended 31 December 2022

Financial review

Total income during the year was £177,755 (2021: £83,790). A more detailed analysis, including key funders, is shown in the accounts. Of the income £121,715 was unrestricted and £56,040 restricted.

Total expenditure was £176,553 (2021:123,335). Of the expenditure £103,822 was unrestricted and £72,731 was restricted. In addition, transfers totalling £8,845 were made from unrestricted to restricted funds to cover excess expenditure.

The net result was a surplus for the year on unrestricted funds of £9,408 leaving a balance carried forward to 2023 of £11,451.

The net result on restricted funds was a deficit for the year of £7,846 which, deducted from a balance brought forward of £9,476 results in £1,630 being carried forward to 2023.

The charity does not have a reserves policy in place as it is heavily dependent on annual grants received. Underlying expenditure that is not related to grant funded activities is low and therefore the trustees consider a reserves policy is not necessary at this time.

The trustees’ annual report was approved on 23" October 2023 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Celebrating Sanctuary Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 December 2022

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 79 Witherford Way, Birmingham, B29 4AN.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

  1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102 by reason of being small. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under FRS 102:

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

There are no judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. There are no key assumptions or other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
