## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).

## **Values** 

Artcore is a burgeoning visual arts hub located across two spaces in Derby, encompassing a gallery, community centre, rentable studio spaces, cafe and shop. We support local talent by offering them space and opportunities to create and exhibit art, as well as contribute to the local community by hosting free workshops, bringing people together through what we know and love best-art.

## **Artcore Limited Trustees' Report** 

## _**Use of volunteers**_ 

Throughout 2024–25, Artcore continued to recruit volunteers for various roles including administration, workshop assistance, and event support. Artcore had 22 active volunteers supporting the charity. All volunteers receive a full induction and training in delivering and supporting our services. 

The value of volunteering to Artcore was £28,700, based on 1,120 volunteering hours contributed during the year. The average hourly wage in Derby was £25.64 (ONS Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings – 2024). 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

Artcore is committed to delivering programmes for public benefit. In 2024–25, the charity continued to produce and present a diverse range of arts across our galleries and studio spaces, delivered by professional artists and emerging talent. Participatory programmes in schools, community settings, and Artcore buildings engaged people of all ages, fostering creativity, wellbeing, and cultural awareness. 

## **Chair's report** 

I am pleased to present our annual report for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

This year marks a major milestone as Artcore celebrates 30 years since its founding in Vadodara, India, a space by the artists, of the artists, and for the artists. In 2009, Artcore relocated to Derby, establishing a charity in Normanton. Artcore created a welcoming space for communities to engage in art and creative projects, and since then has become an established part of Derby’s cultural life, a creative catalyst and trusted community partner. 

Despite wider economic challenges and rising costs, Artcore has sustained and grown its programmes, supporting both communities and artists alike. Over the past year, we have delivered a wide range of workshops, events, residencies, and exhibitions, reaching diverse audiences and extending our impact beyond Derby nurturing confidence, wellbeing, and creative skills in participants of all ages. 

Our gallery and studio spaces continue to offer professional opportunities for artists, with full occupancy and residencies supporting emerging and mid-career creatives. Highlights include the Deaf Mosaic exhibition and international residencies, including partnerships in Germany and India, strengthening our commitment to cultural exchange and inclusivity. 

Cultural events, including the Festival of Togetherness, Diwali and Christmas celebrations, and community fairs, have fostered social cohesion, while projects such as environmental art initiatives and mental health-focused workshops have reinforced Artcore’s dedication to wellbeing and social impact. 

This year also marks the end of my tenure as Chair of the Board of Trustees. I am immensely proud of what Artcore has achieved during my time in the role. It has been a privilege to work alongside such dedicated staff, volunteers, trustees, and funders, ensuring Artcore remains an accessible, vibrant, and inclusive hub for creativity.

## **Trustees' Report** 

I am delighted to welcome Huw Davies as our incoming Chair. I am confident Huw will provide strong leadership and continue to champion Artcore’s mission, supporting artists and communities in Derby and beyond. 

It has been an honour to serve, and I leave knowing Artcore is in exceptionally capable hands. 

## **Andy Ball** 

## **Chair of the Board of Trustees** 

## **Key achievements** 

Over the past year, Artcore has made significant strides in delivering inclusive, artist-led programmes, strengthening international partnerships, and expanding cultural infrastructure across Derby. 

## _**The main activities undertaken in relation to delivering these objectives**_ 

## **Collaborative and Inclusive Programme Delivery** 

Artcore’s model continues to be rooted in partnership and co-creation. Flagship programmes such as Deaf Mosaic and Untold Stories exemplify our commitment to amplifying marginalised voices. Deaf Mosaic, developed with the Royal School for the Deaf Derby and a national Deaf artist, combined an exhibition with creative workshops, enabling communities to explore Deaf identity, culture and communication. Untold Stories, in collaboration with refugee and migrant support organisations, engaged over 500 migrants and three migrant artists across two years, culminating in an exhibition that created space for dialogue, empathy and cultural exchange and Champions for Change, Art of Healing, youth-focused initiatives have nurtured confidence, wellbeing, and creative skills. 

## **Expanding Reach and Engagement** 

Our programmes have consistently reached audiences often excluded from the arts, including young people, older adults, migrants and disabled communities. Weekly free workshops in sewing, knitting and shared reading, alongside paid pottery classes, have provided opportunities for creative participation while supporting café and shop income. Large-scale exhibitions such as Stand Up! (celebrating International Women’s Day) and The Silence of Growing Things attracted diverse audiences and stimulated meaningful discussions on identity, colonial history, and ecology. 

## **International Partnerships and Residencies** 

Artcore has continued to strengthen global connections, particularly through residencies and exchanges in India and Germany. Collaborations in Bangalore, Rajasthan and Baroda (India) and Osnabrück (Germany) have fostered cross-cultural learning and brought new perspectives to Derby. The Building Bridges residency, with artists Chris Wright and Ashley Morris, explored Derby’s connection with its twin city Osnabrück, underscoring Artcore’s role in international cultural exchange. 

## **Cultural Infrastructure and Welcoming Spaces** 

The purchase and refurbishment of the Cultural Hub in Derby city centre has significantly enhanced Artcore’s visibility and accessibility. The development of the gallery, café and retail spaces has created a vibrant, multi-use environment that welcomes diverse audiences, many of whom may not have previously engaged with art. The café is now fully accessible with redesigned facilities and has become a thriving social hub where creativity, food and community intersect. 

## **Organisational Development and Resilience** 

Artcore has strengthened its governance, leadership and financial resilience. Mortgage repayment enabled the expansion of premises on Charnwood Street, creating 12 new affordable artist studios with 7 currently occupied. Funding success includes £100k from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) for the second year of delivery, alongside support from Arts Council England, BBC Children in Need and other funders. Despite challenges, Artcore continues to diversify income streams, manage resources effectively, and invest in long-term sustainability.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## **New Ventures - Tikka Tales and Cultural Expansion** 

In 2025, Artcore launched Tikka Tales, a catering outlet in Derby Market Hall, diversifying income while extending cultural presence in the city centre. Plans are underway to expand into an adjacent unit, creating new ceramic studios and extending workshop capacity. This expansion is supported by Derby City Council, with ceramics equipment provided by Derby Adult Learning Services at no cost. 

These achievements reflect Artcore’s evolution into a truly international, community-rooted organisation artist-led, partnership-driven, and committed to equity, inclusion, and innovation. 

Through networks, Artcore engages a wide spectrum of audiences: 

- Communities underrepresented in the arts, particularly BME and Asian communities. 

- People with barriers to cultural participation, including disabled people, older adults, children and women with language barriers. 

- Artists and the creative sector, promoting Derby as a welcoming city for emerging talent and contributing to the wider “Make and Trade” cultural vision. 

Artcore’s role as a connector, cultural provider and community anchor ensures that it remains responsive to Derby’s changing demographics, supporting creativity as a tool for empowerment, well-being and community cohesion. 

## **Financial Review** 

During the 2024/25 year: 

- Artcore continued to consolidate its financial position while responding to increased operational costs. 

- National Portfolio Organisation (Arts Council England) funding, alongside support from the National Lottery Community Fund, BBC Children in Need, and the Postcode Community Trust, strengthened sustainability. 

- Self-generated income from studio spaces, the gallery, shop, café and events increased opportunities for growth. 

- Volunteer contribution remained valued at £28,700, reflecting the commitment of our community to support Artcore. 

The overall surplus for the year was £250,452 (2024 (restated): £257,681). At the end of the period, the unrestricted funds balance was £1,167,692, an increase of £279,443 over the balance at the end of the previous period. The restricted funds balance was £359,011, a decrease of £12,307 over the balance at the end of the previous period. 

The overall financial position remains robust, ensuring Artcore can continue to deliver high-quality arts and community programmes in Derby and beyond.

## **Artcore Limited Trustees' Report** 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties over the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees are focussing on strategic goal targeting, developing innovative delivery systems, being constantly aware of future challenges and how to deal with them, whilst being able to retain quality and trained staff. 

The charity will continue to apply for funding through various means both internally and through external consultants. We will continue to make efforts to improve ability to raise funds and attract funds from corporate sponsors and private donors. Artcore will be encouraging its trustees and patrons to be more active in fundraising for the organisation. 

The trustees are working towards establishing a sustainable financial model by diversifying and increasing levels of contributed and/or earned income. Diversifying the income base and increasing the earned income will enable Artcore to be resilient and environmentally sustainable.

## **Artcore Limited Trustees' Report** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of governing document**_ 

Artcore Limited is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity governed by the rules set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The charity has a board of trustees which is empowered to make decisions on behalf of the charity and does so at its regular meetings. A trustee must be a natural person aged 16 years or older. No one may be appointed a trustee if he or she would be disqualified from acting under the provisions of article 39 of the Articles of Association. The minimum number of trustees shall be three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) shall not be subjected to any maximum. The first trustees shall be those persons notified to Companies House as the first trustees of the charity. A trustee may not appoint an alternate trustee or anyone to act on his or her behalf at meetings of the trustees. 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

The charity may by ordinary resolution: 

(1) appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee, and (2) determine the rotation in which any additional trustees are to retire 

No person other than a trustee retiring by rotation may be appointed a trustee at any general meeting unless: 

(1) he or she is recommended for re-election by the trustees, or (2) not less than fourteen nor more than thirty-five clear days before the start of the meeting, the charity is given a notice that: 

(a) is signed by a member entitled to vote at the meeting; 

(b) states the member’s intention to propose the appointment of a person as a trustee; (c) contains the details that, if the person were to be appointed, the charity would have to file at Companies House, and; 

(d) is signed by the person who is to be proposed to show his or her willingness to be appointed. 

All members who are entitled to receive notice of a general meeting must be given not less than seven nor more than twenty-eight clear days’ notice of any resolution to be put to the meeting to appoint a trustee other than a trustee who is to retire by rotation. The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee. A trustee appointed by a resolution of the other trustees must retire at the next annual general meeting and must not be taken into account in determining the trustees who are to retire by rotation. 

The appointment of a trustee, whether by the charity in a general meeting or by the other trustees, must not cause the number of trustees to exceed any number fixed as the maximum number of trustees.

## **Artcore Limited** 

## **Trustees' Report** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity requires reserves to allow it to function in the short term in the event of the cessation of funding, a major reduction in funding or a delay in further funding becoming available. The minimum level of reserves to be maintained should also satisfy all legal obligations should the charity cease to be a going concern, enabling proper notice to be given to the staff and beneficiaries and for all due payments to be made to staff (staff redundancy) and to other organisations with which we do business. 

The charity's board of trustees consider that they should aim to build and retain reserves of up to nine months’ operating expenses. This target has been met as at 31 March 2025 and will facilitate the development of Artcore’s long-term aims. In order to meet their responsibilities and to ensure that the charity continues to operate on a going concern basis the trustees have reviewed the requirements and risks faced by the charity in both the short and medium term. 

The accounts show a balance of restricted funds of £339,011 (note 20) and unrestricted funds of £1,167,692 (note 20) at 31 March 2025. 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Artcore Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 its 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 apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can 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.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Artcore Limited** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **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 the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of , 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 Artcore Limited 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

The charity is controlled by the trustees who are all directors. The address of its registered office is: 3 Charnwood Street Derby Derbyshire DE1 2GT 

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 6 November 2025. 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. During the preparation of these financial statements there have been no significant or material judgements and estimates that require disclosure. 

## **Fund accounting policy** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Income** 

Donations and grants that are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Charitable activities are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity: 

(i) Those donated for resale produce income when they are sold. They are valued at the amount actually realised. 

(ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries are included in the statement of financial activities as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them. 

(iii) Those donated for the use by the charity itself are included when receivable. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them. 

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract. 

Other trading activity income relates to rental income and miscellaneous income which are recognised on a receivables basis. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Fundraising expenses are the costs associated with attracting voluntary income. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Expenditure on other items include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with statutory requirements. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocation property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Workshop equipment|20% reducing balance|
|Fixtures and fittings|10% reducing balance|
|Office equipment|20% reducing balance|
|Motor vehicles|25% straight line|
|Leasehold land and buildings|2% straight line or over the lease term<br>whichever is shorter|



## **Operating leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

## **Artcore Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Financial instruments** 

## _**Classification**_ 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities. 

## _**Recognition and measurement**_ 

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

## **Reclassification of comparative amounts** 

The comparative figures have been restated to correctly disclose: 

- The unrestricted and restricted expenditure in the SOFA and fund note. 

- The unrestricted and restricted brought forward funds value in the fund note. 

- The tangible fixed assets carried forward value in the balance sheet. 

This reclassification relates to the capitalisation of property improvements at the Charity's premises which had been previous expended to the SOFA and reclassification of expenditure to restricted funds that were previously allocated to unrestricted funds.

## **Business combinations** 

Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by the charity. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. In accordance with Section 35 of FRS 102, Section 19 of FRS 102 has not been applied in these financial statements in respect of business combinations effected prior to the date of transition. 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
