The trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
Charnwood Arts is a registered charity and a private company limited by guarantee. Our Memorandum and Articles of Association were approved by the Charity Commission before the assets and activities of Charnwood Arts (an unincorporated charity number 505977) were acquired on 1 September 2011. The company was dormant from its formation on 23 December 2010 until 31 August 2011.
Appointment of Directors
The appointment of Directors is set out in articles 27 to 38 of the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Chair, Secretary, Vice Chair and Treasurer are elected at the AGM. All Directors may serve for up to three years in any specific officer role followed by a further three years in a different specific role if so selected.
Charnwood Borough Council additionally appoints three serving members to the management committee for the purpose of scrutiny. The meetings are additionally open to the attendance of officers of Arts Council England and to officers of Charnwood Borough Council, the main funding agents of Charnwood Arts.
Director/Trustee Induction and Training
New Directors are invited to meet with the Executive and Administrative staff of Charnwood Arts to discuss the operation of the organisation. An incoming Chair will also meet with the CEO and the Arts Council Relationship Manager to better understand the responsibilities associated with that role. Directors are informed of other requirements imposed by funding bodies and issues of compliance and are involved in policy development as part of getting to know and understand the wider remit of the Trustee role. Current policy documents are available to all on-line and there is an active annual review process.
Directors.
Additional Trustee away days take place to develop the policy and programme direction of the organisation. Directors are encouraged to undertake additional external training and a training needs analysis is undertaken whenever there are substantial changes in the makeup of the Directors.
Organisation

The Board oversees the general operation of the charity, monitors its work and finances and makes and reviews the policies of the organisation.
A Chief Executive Officer and a Company Administrator are employed to manage and oversee the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive Officer has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the Directors, for operational matters including finance, employment and artistic performance related activity.

The organisation has developed systems and practices to mitigate those risks identified in planning and through governance.
Objectives and Activities
The charity’s objects are specifically restricted to the following:
To foster and promote knowledge, improvement, understanding and appreciation of the arts and education in the arts among the people of Charnwood, the East Midlands Region and nationally and internationally as the trustees decide, in particular but not exclusively by:
-
a) the promotion, provision and fostering of participatory and community arts and cultural activities; and
-
b) enabling and contributing to the understanding, knowledge and development of participatory and community arts for the benefit of the public.
The charity has the general aim of contributing to the quality of life and social cohesion within the area of the borough of Charnwood and the East Midlands by providing opportunities for people to engage with creative projects and performances within a coherent community arts and a broader cultural approach.
In planning our activities and programme development the Directors/Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. Charnwood Arts is committed to providing low or no cost opportunities for the people of Charnwood to experience the arts, across different art forms and across a wide range of interests and social needs.
Our vision is to create, through active dialogue with artists, organisations and the public, a balanced programme which forms a network of supportive relationships to bring about a wide range of benefits through the arts. Our programme is built upon extended dialogue with potential beneficiaries, a commitment to growing relationships and the fullest exploration wherever possible of primary, secondary and tertiary benefits.
The main objectives for the year were related to the development and delivery of the following:
-
Facilitating a variety of workshop provisions, including a: Drawing Room, Writing Room, Clay Room and Craft Room.
-
Supporting local emerging artists by offering a number of packages that cover important aspects of personal artistic development. This includes support with marketing, working with small groups, website development, sales of their work, and a reference.
-
Enabling people who experience social isolation to participate in arts activities to support wellbeing and community connectivity.

-
Using music and creative expression to celebrate being uniquely ourselves, with an aim to encourage good mental health and wellbeing for children and young people.
-
Offering sessions which include singing, music and gentle seated exercises, designed for individuals and their loved ones affected by dementia.
-
Giving people an opportunity to get to know Charnwood Forest better, working with and within the forest, providing opportunities for people of all ages and from all backgrounds, to work with artists, geologists, practitioners and performers.
Achievements and Performance
In 2022 we successfully secured further National Portfolio funding from the Arts Council of England covering core costs for three years (March end 2026). Only 900 organisations across the country were awarded the funding and we are very proud that the value of our work has been recognised in this way and delighted to have some financial security in these testing economic times. This core support is supplemented by a further 4 years funding from our long-term partners Charnwood Borough Council. We were able to agree a manageable core programme of activities with the Council. The year of 2022 will also be notable for a number of reasons but highlights include the development and programming in our new home.
Projects:
-
Charnwood Forest Landscape Partnership Scheme Celebrating Charnwood Forest’s internationally important volcanic legacy. We are part of eighteen different projects inspiring people to explore its rich landscape, understand its diverse heritage, and develop skills to care for it through creative delivery. In November we occupied a space in the centre of Loughborough and set up an Urban Forest. We had over 7000 visitors to the space over 5 months bringing the forest into the town, raising awareness and encouraging people to engage with the beautiful natural environments on their doorstep.
-
Eat, Breathe, Create
Set in Fearon Hall café, Eat Breathe Create sessions focus on enabling people who experience social isolation to participate in arts activities to support wellbeing and community connectivity. The café attracts around twenty people a week working with local artists and culminates in a number of exhibitions over the year.
- Partition Music project, Mixtape Memories 2022
This was part of a larger, Leverhulme Trust funded, five-year project titled Migrant Memory and the Postcolonial Imagination which uses creative, arts-based approaches alongside in-depth interviewing to understand how community identities are produced and expressed by South Asian people in the UK through processes of remembering Partition, migration and resettlement. Facilitated by Leicester artist - Mr Shay, participants explored their creativity through sampling sounds from their home environment, learning music production skills, writing original lyrics and performing.
- Sound Tower (working with Charnwood Borough Council’s Museum)
Charnwood Arts developed a project for schools to learn more about local landmark the Carillon Tower’s heritage by using creative digital media. The school sessions enabled participants to learn, create, play and perform music, based around the unique sound of the Carillon instrument. The second part of the project was to visit the Carillon Tower itself to climb the stairs, record sounds in the empty spaces (using our bodies, and basic percussion instruments) and see first-hand the Carillon instrument in action itself, capturing sounds of the space which once reimagined, will be lost forever.
The finished pieces of music/sound created at the various sessions were enhanced further in the Charnwood Arts digital studio (Sound Room) and presented back to the overall project, ultimately creating an album for download. The work will also form part of the new exhibition space as a sound installation when The Carillon Tower is open once again. The project was designed to encourage students to embrace and develop their own innate sense of creativity and musicality, and enabled participants to understand and appreciate Loughborough’s iconic tower for many years to come and specifically the instrument itself which many local children may have heard, but are not aware of ‘what actually makes that sound’!

Achievements and Performance (cont’d)
- Charnwood Musical Memory Box
In partnership with Leicester Musical Memory Box, Charnwood Arts were successful in obtaining Shire Grants funding to offer Charnwood Musical Memory Box sessions throughout 2021/22. These free, interactive musicbased sessions include singing, music and gentle seated exercises, designed for individuals and their loved ones affected by dementia. This has proved to be very popular and we have now included the offer as part of the new NPO funding from the Arts Council.
- Emerging Artist Programme
12 local artists were offered a support package that included: work placements, training, peer mentoring, practice support, exhibition, performance and publishing opportunities. This is the second round of the initiative and we are now employing a number of the emerging artists to facilitate our sessions via our professional escalator programme.
- Drawing Room, Clay Room and Writing Room
We opened our doors for local artists who may need some space both physically and mentally to be creative. The sessions are also aimed at giving people a ‘snackable’ taste of a number of art forms to ‘try it out’ without pressure. These have proved popular and the data collected will help us plan our programme to suit the local community needs, rather than a ‘this is what we’re doing will you come?’ approach.
- Exhibitions
Our home includes an art room which accommodates 8-10 people plus a facilitator, a digital studio and an exhibition space. The intimate space is big enough to give local artists the chance to display their work free of charge in a safe environment and curate their own exhibition with support from Charnwood Arts. During 2022 we hosted a photographic exhibition, sculpture display and often used the space for an exhibition following a project such as Eat Breathe Create. The space has already been booked out for most of the coming year.
- Operationally
During the year we have continued to overhaul the systems and processes at Charnwood Arts. The development of a brand-new business plan based on achievable, and realistic aims and objectives of the organisation in line with the Arts Council requirements if driving our activities. We continually strive to learn, develop, and understand the impact of the work we undertake. This learning may take a variety of forms and approaches yet is intended to be platformed upon core organisational values, aims and intentions whilst characterised by requirements determined by funders. The use of CAPE (Charnwood Arts Performance and Evaluation) operational procedure guides our approach to planning, implementing, learning from, and reporting on our creative offers.
Financial Review
Charnwood Arts relocating to a larger premises has led to a rapid expansion of artistic programmes, to meet the differing needs of the local community. It has been satisfying to see high attendance levels for various exhibitions and workshops. Therefore, justifying the expenditure.
The organisation remains a highly effective, efficient and economical organisation with excellent outputs and a significant range of impacts on the area and in people’s lives. Continued support from Arts Council England and Charnwood Borough Council enables us to meet our core costs and in-house delivery programme and sets the organisation on a firm footing for future programme development and income generation. Charnwood Arts managed to secure new sources of funding for innovative projects in the current uncertain economic climate.
Reserves Policy
The level of reserves will be increased to take into account the higher costs relating to additional activities. Our aim is to hold reserves which will minimally allow for three months’ operation should all other sources of funding be unavailable. A policy for reserves is in place.
Accommodation
Charnwood Arts resides at 27 Rectory Place, Loughborough, LE11 1UW.

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Trustees' Responsibilities Statement
The trustees (who are also directors of Charnwood Arts for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared having taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in the Companies Act 2006.

CHARNWOOD ARTS
CHAIR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
This has been a fantastic year for the organisation. It is a testament to the committed and talented staff of Charnwood Arts, the contribution of its volunteers, including our fellow Trustees, and the faith and generosity of our many supporters and stakeholders that we have been able to achieve so much. We would not have been able to achieve all that we have without the core funding we receive from the Arts Council for England and Charnwood Borough Council. We would like to thank them, not only for their financial support, but for the time and energy they invest in helping us to achieve our mission to enhance the lives of the people of Charnwood through the arts.
We started the year saying goodbye to long standing trustee and dedicated Chair Gabriella Maffioli who fearlessly led the organisation through some challenging times contending with changes in leadership, moving premises twice, and the unprecedented impact of the pandemic. Gabriella’s contribution was outstanding and her legacy can be seen in much of the work described below. The search began for a new Chair and for much of the year I was privileged to ‘act up’ in the role of Acting Chair supporting our CEO. In March a new Chair, Dr Su Warner, who brought to the role her incredibly relevant experience of community work and an academic background in community art and critical citizenship was elected but sadly Su was unable to continue in the role and she stepped down in May. Our search for a new Chair continues.
We are actively seeking new Trustees and we would welcome interest from people from all walks of life who share our appreciation of the power the arts can have in strengthening communities and transforming lives.
Described below are the many achievements of the organisation over the last twelve months. By necessity this list is ‘high level’ but it perhaps fails to capture all those small moments of connection that the organisation has had with people from Charnwood over the year. Connected communities are essential to the resilience and prosperity of our society and Charnwood Arts bring people together and works hard to ensure that everyone feels included. One of the decisions we made as a Board this year was to change how we described Equality, Diversity and Inclusions (EDI) by adopting the descriptors Equity, Diversity and Belonging. The arts belong to everyone, and we all want to feel like we belong within our communities. If Charnwood Arts can help to join the dots between the two then we are succeeding.
Looking forward, 2023-2024 we are filled with excitement and optimism. As part of our new NPO programme, we have established an Environmental Responsibility Steering Group. It is our intention not only to make ourselves aware of how we can reduce our negative environmental impact, but to offer to the wider arts community a better understanding of the climate crisis and the part we can play together in initiating and promoting positive change. To this end we will be running training sessions in the coming year.
We have now settled into our new premises and continue to develop our forward strategy, which will have Equity, Diversity, Belonging, wellbeing and environmental responsibility at its heart. Our programme continues to develop, and we remain focused on listening and responding to the needs of local people. We are excited by and looking forward to the possibilities ahead in the coming year.
With best wishes

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CHARNWOOD ARTS
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 9 to 18.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees (who are also the Directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Any costs directly attributable to project work that can be readily identified have been allocated to the specific project. Note 10 details the individual funds that represent each project.
Other costs that cannot be directly attributable to project work have been allocated to either fund raising activities or support costs as appropriate. These costs have been allocated on the basis of the amount of time spent on that activity.
Support costs should be further apportioned to each project using a reasonable allocation method. Given that the charity had many different and separately identifiable projects during the period, it is impractical to allocate support costs to each individual project and, therefore, support costs have been allocated against the total of charitable activities only.
