these ends by:

a)-the encouragement of sculpture, painting, drawing, design, lithography, print
making, graphics, poetry, literature, film, photography and music

and;

b) the advancement of skill and craftsmanship therein

The Trust furthers it's charitable purposes principally through the making of awards to
appropriate individuals or organisations.

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

`Achievements and performance`

During the year, the Trust has continued to market the charity with a view to increasing
the number and level of donations. This work continues.

The Trust has worked to identify exhibitions where emerging artists were presenting
their work and, where suitable candidates were identified, awards were duly made with
the aim of encouraging those artists to continue with their endeavours.

The Trustees did not award any Prizes this year.

Further suitable exhibitions have been identified and we hope to make further awards
during the coming year.
