Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
It is to promote, maintain and advance education in the arts by the provision of facilities and training for artists. To provide facilities to encourage knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the applied arts through Open Days and information with the object of giving the widest possible access to all members of the public, in particular the inhabitants of Kingston Upon Thames, the county of Surrey and the London area.
Principal activities
Currently managing the operations and continuing provision of the studios as a focus point and workspace for artists in Kingston. The holding of workshops and exhibitions of work both for the studio artists and early years creatives when possible. Collaborating with other Arts Groups to establish opportunities for displays of the work of local artists for the benefits of the community.
Public benefit
The Trustees comply with section 17(5) of the Charities Act and in carrying out the aims and objectives have had due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance.
The induction briefing for new Trustees includes coverage of the Commission's guidance.
Social investments
As and when surplus funds exist it is the intention of the trustees that the monies should be invested in a savings account with their bankers Lloyds TSB. This policy will be reviewed annually in the light of the progress made.
Independent examiner
A resolution will be proposed at the Annual general meeting that Mr Hardeep Virdee of Freeman Carr be re-appointed as Independent Examiner to the charity for the ensuing year.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The constitution adopted on 14 February 2004 is governing document of the charity. The charity was established under the constitution which established the objects and powers of the charity and is governed under its constitution.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Under the terms of the charity's constitution, management of the charities affairs is vested in a board of trustees. The board of trustees has the right to appoint members to the board either as additional members or to fill any casual vacancies.
Financial Review
These are shown in the accompanying financial statements and reflect the continuing financial stability of the charity. As disclosed more fully in the notes to the financial statements, FusionArts has future financial commitments under the lease of the four floors at 53 Eden Street, Kingston. The lease whilst five years has a break clause after three years . The charity's reserves at the end of the year is £11,073 (2023: £26,742) all of which is unrestricted.

Reserves policy
Reserves are held to cover unexpected expenditure; in addition, reserves will be needed to overcome main risks to the organisation. Whilst the current level of reserves are sufficient, it is the trustees' view that it is prudent to ensure that reserves are increased in future years to provide financial flexibility over the forth coming challenges.

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
