REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
2. Main activities
Equalities Work delivers a range of arts and education activities through the Foundry social justice centre in Vauxhall, London. The Foundry houses many progressive human rights and social justice organisations. Equalities Work engages the public with projects, film nights, talks and other events. We do this by working with campaigning, advocacy, education, advice and arts organisations.
3. Achievements and Performance in 2024/25
Over the year, Equalities Work delivered a number of innovative projects including Rights, Camera, Action! – a visual arts project engaging young people in Lambeth around human rights issues and providing routes into the creative sector. The In The Mix project includes workshops designed to promote access and participation to the visual arts for disabled people living in south London. It combines arts workshops, mentoring and seminars designed to break down the barriers to inclusion for disabled artists. For the second year Equalities Work funded the Radical Film School supports social justice filmmaking. The School provided free training in film direction for 16 Londoners from under-represented backgrounds in the film industry including those on low incomes and people of colour.
We also continued to provide capacity building for local voluntary groups with support around fundraising and business planning. Equalities Work has provided support to Block336 - a creative space in Brixton located in the largest disability hub in London. We have raised funds to transform the space including new accessible artists’ studios and training room. Block336 is where we deliver much of our In The Mix project offering long term mentoring opportunities for disabled artists.
Our exhibitions programme over the year included a linking with Neon Performing Arts on a show called ‘Selfhood’ and another - ‘Accelerate Action’ which brought together a number of women sculptors, painters and film. Our exhibitions include workshops and events engaging schools and the general public to discuss the issues raised.
Our work was supported over the year by a core grant from the Social Justice and Human Rights Centre and grants from the London Borough of Lambeth trusts including the City Bridge Foundation.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
4.2 Reserves Policy
Equalities Work is committed to using its resources in pursuit of its charitable objectives. It is also committed however to maintaining a level of reserves that is prudent to meeting ongoing liabilities, sufficient to ensure that all delivery commitments can be met and to protect the long-term future of Equalities Work’s operations. Equalities Work’s policy seeks to balance these priorities by holding a level of reserves, which equate to three months expenditure of the charity.
The Board of Trustees continues to monitor the level of reserves quarterly and takes appropriate action if reserves fall outside the desired range.
5. Plans for the future
Equalities Work continues to operate in a challenging funding environment with the cost of living crisis making it difficult to secure donations and grants.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently and observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

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.

No payments were made to Trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the charity and the Trustees or any person connected with them.
12. RISK ASSESSMENT
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
13. RESERVES POLICY
Equalities Work is committed to using its resources in pursuit of its charitable objectives. It is also committed however to maintaining a level of reserves that is prudent to meeting ongoing liabilities, sufficient to ensure that all delivery commitments can be met and to protect the long-term future of Equalities Work's operations. Equality Work's policy seeks to balance these priorities by holding a level of reserves which equate to three months expenditure of the charity.
14. PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or 'aims' that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
EQUALITIES WORK
(A CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
Report to the trustees/ members of Equalities Work on the accounts for the year ended 31st August 2025 set out on pages 9 to 15.
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 financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and;
c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements , and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees 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 ot section 396 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
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
