## **Art, places, ideas.** 

## **Annual Report 2024 – 01 April 2023 31 March 2024** 

## **Executive Summary** 

The year was summarised by completing Year 1 of our 2023-26 NPO programme. We continue to deliver ambitious and high-quality work, nowadays with a greater emphasis on artistic engagement and work with communities than large, flagship exhibitions. 

Work was carried out during the period to ensure that Meadow Arts’ Mission and Values still represent our Vision as well as aligning with the Arts Council England Strategy _Let’s Create_ . 

## **Meadow Arts Vision** 

We are creative, inspirational, collaborative, responsive & curious. 

We use excellent contemporary art to encourage new ideas and expand horizons. 

We place visual art in unexpected, often rural places, to reach audiences and engage participants. 

## **Programme Highlights**

## **4. UKSPF Cultural Development and Cultural Programming Funded Projects** 

Began two 2-year projects in Herefordshire, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, one project in collaboration with National Trust Herefordshire venue, the Weir (cultural development programme) and the other reviving a Herefordshire Visual Artist Network (cultural programming). Both began in Autumn 2023 and will run until Spring 2026.

The programme continued with a ‘teaser’ exhibition of one artwork at Ed Cross Gallery in London, before moving onto The Herbert in Coventry in 2024-25. 

## **Marketing** 

- Audience Engagement - Meadow Arts prioritised understanding its audience by surveying newsletter subscribers. This initiative provided insights into their interests and demographics, enabling us to tailor our programme and communications more effectively to our audience. Meadow Arts has transitioned to utilising Arts Council England's new Audience Data Platform, Illuminate alongside the existing Culture Counts Impact & Insight Toolkit enabling us to gain deeper insights into our audience demographic, behaviour and preferences.

Twitter followers increased from **3K** to **3.2K** , Instagram followers increased from **2.8K** to **3K** , and Facebook followers increased from **1.5K** to **2K** . This growth highlights the effectiveness of dynamic and engaging content in attracting and retaining a larger audience across all platforms.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Meadow Arts** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Meadow Arts ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **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** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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 

4. 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.
