REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2023. 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity's objects are :
-
To advance the education of the public in the subject of all forms of contemporary art.
-
To promote the appreciation and understanding of art for the benefit of the public by providing support, assistance, maintenance and grants for museums and art galleries.
The trustees confirm that they referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit by reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Further events promoting the charity's objects are being planned for the future. Charitable income amounted to £114,060 and at the balance sheet date reserves amounted to £48,371. The trustees are of the opinion that such reserves are sufficient to meet ongoing commitments as they fall due.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain funds at a level sufficient to enable the charity to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue its charitable actives in the future.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Organisational structure
The charity is administered by the Board of Trustees which is its governing body. There are no paid employees and the Trustees meet regularly to discuss and implement policy. Trustees are appointed to the Board in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and are recruited on the basis of personal recommendation. New Trustees receive informal induction from existing Trustees and training needs are assessed and met as required.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £ 10 in the event of a winding up.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FLUXUS ART PROJECTS
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Fluxus Art Projects ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
