TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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

Peckham Platform’s mission is to create meaningful and accessible social arts practice for Peckham and beyond. Originally founded in 2010 as Peckham Space Ltd, we adopted the name Peckham Platform in 2014 to reflect our evolving identity and commitment to place-based cultural work. Since 2017, our gallery has been closed due to redevelopment of Peckham Square. While the new building is in progress, we have continued to create and present a free, high-quality programme in alternative spaces across Peckham and London.

Our projects engage a wide range of communities including elders, young people, schools, and specialist groups. Each project is grounded in collaborative practice — inviting participants to take an active role in shaping the work. This model is designed to foster cultural ownership, amplify underrepresented voices, and generate inclusive opportunities in the arts and creative industries.

Our specific charitable objectives are:

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Peckham Platform delivered activities of public benefit that furthered our charitable objectives during the year April 2024 to March 2025 as outlined in this section of our report.

Co-commissioned Exhibition Programme

Peckham Platform’s co-commissioning model remains core to our identity. Each year, we partner with different segments of the community — from youth groups to care homes — to collaboratively develop themes, select artists, and shape outcomes. This model allows the community to remain actively engaged throughout the artistic process, ensuring relevance and inclusion.

Through this, we have delivered exhibitions, installations, and events that reflect community narratives and lived experience.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Learning

Youth Platform

Our Youth Platform has flourished, providing hands-on experience in creative production, leadership, and advocacy for young people aged 16–25. Participants were involved in co-producing commissions, hosting events, and contributing to organisational governance.

2024-25 highlights:

“My six months [as Trainee Producer] has given me the chance to explore new avenues of work that I haven't had access to before... I’ve learned the importance of a strong foundation when producing such a full-on programme. It has been such a supportive environment. Their [the Peckham Platform team] support has helped me through the challenges I faced during this role. Teaching me ways to manage stress, navigate last-minute changes with good grace, and the ability to take everything in stride and adapt.” Trainee Producer, Elsa Farmer

“Memories for the Future [Youth Platform] provided an opportunity for our young people to start the process of rebuilding relationships with their community and allowing them to feel useful and valued. Many of our young people, in fact, 4 out of the 6 attending, either no longer have grandparents who are alive or they have been removed from the family network due to living in care... Exposing them to a wider community network and being able to ‘reminisce’ and share our ‘memories for the future’ together, made for a positive and exciting chance to recreate that protective/ nurturing space.” Southwark Youth Justice Service - Reparation & Volunteers Officer

Art Awards

The Arts Awards program is designed to cultivate the interests, knowledge, and skills of participating students through active engagement in the arts. This includes reviewing their experiences and researching the careers and works of artists or craftspeople who inspire them. Students created their own portfolios, utilising audio, video, writing, and photography to enhance their planning and communication skills.

The Arts Awards initiative was highly appreciated by the two participating schools. Staff reported that the project significantly supported both their own and the students’ well-being, mental health, and learning progress.

Peckham Platform delivered 24 sessions reaching 42 students, 40 of whom received Explore and Bronze level Arts

Awards. Notably, 85% of students who provided feedback expressed a desire to continue with art-based learning beyond the Arts Awards program.

Communications

We maintained an active and growing online presence, achieving increased engagement and reaching broader audiences. Strategic partnerships with peer organisations and campaigns contributed to an expanded digital footprint. Peckham Platform’s channels now reach a combined audience of over 72,000 followers/subscribers.

Financial review

Peckham Platform’s financial health remains stable. Incoming resources for the year were £513,501, a decrease of £18,320 from 2023–24. Expenditure was £507,880, resulting in a surplus of £5,621.

In-kind support such as legal fees, consultancy, and communications contributed £250,000 in value. Reserves as of 31 March 2025: General: £132,574 Designated: £29,769, Restricted: £149,419 Represented by: Current assets: £297,714, Fixed assets: £53,841. Creditors: £41,284 (of which £20,000 is deferred income).

Our reserves policy is to maintain unrestricted funds equivalent to 3–5 months of operational costs. Trustees continue to monitor this target and ensure financial sustainability.

Major risks

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.

Plans for future periods

We are entering an exciting phase with our new venue on Peckham Square scheduled to open in 2027. Delivered in partnership with the London Borough of Southwark, and Arts Council. This space will support a more expansive programme, offering greater access and long-term sustainability.

Key priorities in 2025–27 will include:

With a 15-year lease secured, the new venue will offer a permanent home for Peckham Platform’s cocommissioning model, expanding our ability to deliver meaningful social change through art.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Peckham Platform Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Quay House, Kings Grove, 2c Peckham Platform, Peckham, London, SE15 2NB.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts.

PECKHAM PLATFORM LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Overheads are apportioned to activities on a reasonable basis for example, hours engaged in different activities for staff costs or floor area for premises costs.

Irrecoverable VAT is allocated in the same way as the cost which it is associated with.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

IT equipment 25% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
