Foreword from the Chair of Trustees

Review from the Director
2024 has been another incredibly busy period at SPUD. with exciting new
collaborations and opportunities emerging throughout the year including with
New Forest Heritage Centre and African Activities. Our drive for sustainability and
legacy in all that we do, ensures we are building a robust and forward thinking
organisation.
Our exhibition programme is now planning 12 months ahead and this allows us to
develop strong relationships and effective engagement work with artists, partner
organisations and community groups. It also enables us to be more ambitious in
our programming and involve some of our groups directly in the planning and
curation of the exhibitions.
Our weekly workshops with people living with dementia and the teenage
LGBTQIA group are real highlights. where we are providing a safe and creative
space and making a genuine difference to peoples lives.
This feedback from a workshop participant encapsulates better than anything
why we do what we do and how important our work is to so many people:
"The empathetic embrace of the class feels like being held- understood and
supported. The small group setting fosters warm, farniliar relationships, which is
so important for our emotional well-being. It is a space where expectations fade
away, and genuine connections flourish. Thank you for providing us with this
unique opportunity to come together, share love. and explore creativity in such a
safe and nurturing environment. It truly makes a difference in our lives..
Looking ahead to 2025 feels very positive as we build upon the strong
foundations we have created. Our approach of thinking small, reaching further
continues to underpin our work and ensure managed growth and sustainability,
but always with ambitious ideas and actions.

Our
Approach
We believe small, high-quality actions
and interventions begin to have a
cumulative effect and become more
sustainable and impactfuL over the Long
term.
We strive to empower people to take the lead through
support, collaboration and a genuine openness to
engage. This generates a real sense of ownership and
makes SPUD much more than the sum of its parts.

Older People
We've created a safe and welcoming space for everyone at
spudWORKS. This is particularly evident with our older
participants and artists, where they have found a real sense
of community and friendship.
Our dementia f riendly weekly workshops, which are also open for carers and
relatives, are warm, friendly and fun. Based in the new Living Room space, with
wheel chair access. It has been designed specifically to host small groups so
people feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment and surrounded by a
beautiful sensory garden.

Artist and Creatives
SPUD has worked with and supported 94 artists in the past
year (11 of them residencies) and curated 14 exhibitions. We
are also home to 11 studio artists and graduates based at
spudWORKS.
Our fluid and experimental exhibition programme allows artists to take a less
traditional approach to working in a gallery space. This leads to greater
collaboration and often unforeseen opportunities. spudWORKS continues to
grow as a vibrant place of exchange and ideas generation for artists at all stages
of their careers. Our partnership with New Forest National Park Authority has
developed an internationally recognised residency programme, attracting an
increasingly diverse and high calibre number of artists to respond to the special
qualities of the New Forest and its communities.

Community
and Place
SPUD has always had a strong
emphasis on placemaking, whether
that be creating new structures or
consulting with local communities.
In the last 12 months we have worked alongside
Sway Parish Council and the local community to
explore ideas for a new youth centre; worked with
young people in Ringwood to explore the history of
the railway there and possible new artwork and
interpretation. We continue to work with the New
Forest National Park Authority on our internationaLLy
recognised residency programme, attracting high
quality artists to come and Live, work and respond
to the special qualities of the New Forest.

Royal Visit
Recognising Excellence
spudWORKS was visited by HRH The Duke of
Gloucester in September, in recognition of the
award-winning work we have been undertaking in
the New Forest and in particular the new Living
Room space. The Duke spent some time looking
around the facilities and meeting the team and
participants. At one point he happily joined in with
a jewellery making workshop. He was clearly
delighted with his visit.

Reserves Policy and end of year position
The trustees, policy is that the balance of reserves held by SPUD should be equal
to three months of the charity's running costs. The reserve amount is reviewed
annually by the trustees. The trustees believe this level of reserves will provide
short term funding stability and allow time to secure alternative sources of
income, in the event of a significant drop in income. In 2024 running costs before
project expenditure and depreciation were on average £11.5k per month and the
balance in unrestricted reserves at the end of 2024 was £84k.

## Additional governance issues 

In the last quarter of 2024, following notice that the Chair was leaving the area and therefore stepping down, a recruitment process was put in motion.

Following negotiations the Trustees appointed and re-assigned the lease to a new Handlebar Cafe tenant in July 2024. A working group of the Chair, three other Trustees, and the Director identified key organisational risks and issues, the legal and financial advice required, and managed the process to ensure that current and future income from the cafe is secured.

Commissioned by the Friends of Sway Railway Station two of the launchpad artists created a mural for the station based on birds and the heathland. 

The gallery exhibition programme showcased project work such as the New Forest National Park residencies and the Arts Council funded Thinking Small Reaching Further. While the spudOPEN on the theme of 'Hold on/Let Go' attracted over 80 artists. The SPUD studio artists produced 'Glitterama' and 'Decentering' collaborative and development focused exhibitions.

## Financial Review 

The trustees’ policy is that the balance of reserves held by SPUD should be equal to three months of the charity’s running costs. The reserve amount is reviewed annually by the trustees. The trustees believe this level of reserves will provide short term funding stability and allow time to secure alternative sources of income, in the event of a significant drop in income. In 2024 running costs before project expenditure and depreciation were on average £11.5k per month and the balance in unrestricted reserves at the end of 2024 was £84k. 

There are no funds in deficit. 

During 2024 the primary sources of funding for Charitable Activities (£156k) were from Government bodies in the form of grants from Arts Council of England, Hampshire and Isle of Wight, New Forest National Park Authority and New Forest District Council. 

Other income was received mainly in the form of Rental and Investment income. This was through the renting of space within SPUD’s main building (spudWORKS) generating income of £38k. Various spaces and tenancy arrangements are supporting a thriving community of creatives from micro businesses to graduates. 

Income of £28k was received from the Handlebar Café, tenants operating from our investment property in Winchester. 

The NFDC provided £24k in capital grants to enable SPUD to install an air source heat pump.

## NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 

## Notes to the Accounts 

Note 1 Basis of Preparation 

## Basis of Accounting 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts 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 for Smaller Entities published on 16/07/14 

- the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) 

- • and with the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period (3.46 FRS 102 SORP). No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period (3.47 FRS 102 SORP). In accordance with the Charity SORP a Statement of Cash Flows is not required. 

The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2. 

## Note 2 Accounting Policies 

## 2.1 Income 

## Recognition of income 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

- i. the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- ii. It is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## Offsetting 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses. 

## Grants and donations 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).In the case of Contractual income and performance related grants, income is only recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). 

11 



## Tax reclaims on donations and gifts 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## 2.2 Expenditure and Liabilities 

## Liability recognition 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## Provisions for liabilities 

A Liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. 

## Deferred income 

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. 

## 2.3 Assets 

## Debtors 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Fixed assets are valued at cost.  Computers are depreciated over 3 years on a straight-line basis. 

The spudWORKS building is depreciated over 50 years and the studios and Living Room are depreciated over 25 years.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of SPUD (“the Trust”)** 

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

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner needs to be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act, and I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination and am also a member of ICAEW (FCA), which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

1. The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, 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, in accordance with the 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.
