## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Leeds Art Fund CIO (the Charity) for the year ended 30th September 2022. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document 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 2015). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Charity is governed by a constitution dated 3 March 2017. 

The principal object of the Charity is to provide promotion of arts in Leeds and surrounding areas. There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report of the unincorporated Charity . 

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Charity Commission Scheme. The trustees meet quarterly and agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Charity including consideration of grant making, investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. 

All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid during the year. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

## _Policies and objectives_ 

- The establishment, extension and enhancement of art collections open to the public in The Metropolitan District of The City of Leeds in the county of West Yorkshire or in such other areas as the trustees shall determine. 

- The promotion of the appreciation of art by the public. 

- The promotion of education and learning in art and allied subjects. 

Aims, objectives and activities are reviewed annually to ensure they remain focused on our principal objectives. The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when undertaking this review process. 

## _Activities for achieving objectives_ 

In 2021/2022 Leeds Arts Fund continued to contribute financially to acquisitions that enhance the art collections which are publically accessible for the benefit of the people of Leeds, through the sites operated by Leeds Museums and Galleries. Works acquired with support from, or owned by the Charity, were also more widely shared through loans to other venues. 

Leeds Art Fund has continued to promote the appreciation of art and education and learning in art through a varied programme of activities. These include two newsletters and ten monthly e bulletins each year that publish information on the acquisitions and the collections, as well as giving notice of opportunities to participate in art related events. The events programme organised by the volunteer Events Coordinator, provides a mix of talks and visits throughout the year for members, and many of these are also open to nonmembers. We continue to support rigorous academic research leading to publication.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## _Review of activities_ 

Over the period 2021 /2022 the impact of the pandemic continued to be felt in the activities of Leeds Art Fund. In common with many other societies we experienced a drop in membership, from 332 in 2020 to 253 in November 2022, and a nervousness about participating in events. However it should be noted that a core of loyal members and a total bequest from Alistair Simpson of £43,817 has meant that the LAF did not suffer to the extent of other organisations and our finances as a result remained buoyant. The Trustees and the Board have been active in working on a recruitment strategy and we are starting to see a steady increase in new members. 

Central to our offer to members is the events programme and during the period the programme returned to offering in person visits and events as well as building on our learning from on line talks during lockdown. The latter included artist talks such as Wakefield based Ellie Way and Emi Alrai, whose work is gaining considerable attention nationally and internationally. Both talked about some of the positives of the lockdown in terms of progressing their own practice. The opportunities of the internet also allowed us to connect internationally and we included a talk by Dr Michael Waldron from the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork in January 2022. 

While coach visits were not viable as we came out of lockdown, we did organise a series of interesting local visits to Messums and Watermark in Harrogate, Lawnswood Cemetery, an exclusive viewing of the recently acquired Bownas Archive at the Discovery Centre and an artist led tour of the exhibition Below the Salt by Catherine Bertola at Temple Newsam. In the Spring there were visits to Bankfield Museum and the Cooper Gallery, Barnsley and we offered curator led talks about the Townley Commode at Temple Newsam, which was our major purchase in the previous year. Alongside Leeds Art Fund generated activities, we contributed to the public programme which accompanied the exhibition of work by Eileen Agar. 

Using Eventbrite for bookings has allowed us to record data on events to inform future plans and we see opportunities to use the Eventbrite marketing to promote the Leeds Art Fund to a wider audience and encourage people to follow our event programme and become members. 

At the heart of the LAF both historically and today, is the enrichment of the Leeds collections and we have continued to help Leeds Museums and Galleries acquire works in line with the Collections Development Policy of the service. 

During the year we acquired works by Jill McKnight [b.1990] from her residency which drew on the collections of the British Library and Leeds Museums Gallery; works from the Below the Salt exhibition at Temple Newsam by Catherine Bertola [b.1976]; and a child slipping, a man losing his hat in the natural weather by Sara Barker [b.1980], from her exhibition at the Art Gallery. Barker was recently commissioned to create a new sculptures for the Sir William Henry Bragg building at the University on Woodhouse Lane. Further archive material relating to Yorkshire based Sheila Bownas [1925-2007], who worked for Marks and Spencer’s among other retailers was acquired. We also continued to support the service as it aims to create a collection that more truly reflects our diverse population through contributing to the purchase of a sensitive watercolour, Matriarch I by Charmaine Watkiss [b.1964].

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## _Review of activities (continued)_ 

Our major acquisition for the year was undoubtedly the major oil painting Reflections on the Aire; on strike by Atkinson Grimshaw [1836-1893]. This rare example of a painting with a political/social comment by the artist records a moment of industrial unrest and hardship in Leeds. The painting returns to the city after many years in private ownership. The cost was paid in full by Leeds Art Fund to celebrate its contribution to the cultural life of the city since 1912 and to mark the city of culture celebrations for Leeds 2023. 

With the return of temporary exhibition programmes, Leeds Art Fund lent Searchlights by Christopher Nevinson to the Green Howards Museum in Richmond in June 2022. The work was illustrated in the Yorkshire Post. We were also delighted to lend Barbara Hepworth’s drawing, Poet Reading to his Children to the Henry Moore Institute as part of the citywide Herbert Read season at the end of 2022. 

The Trustees and Board continuously review the governance of the Leeds Art Fund and ensure compliance with the requirements of the Charities Commission. During the pandemic we had restricted access to our database which was held at Temple Newsam. We have addressed this with a full review of the membership data and a cleaning of the email distribution lists.  We have also reviewed the functionality of the website. 

The Board enjoys close links with Leeds City Council and we were delighted when Cllr Al Garthwaite was nominated by Leeds City Council as a Board member to replace Cllr Mrs Nash who has been an active and loyal supporter of the Fund for many years, and wish Cllr Garthwaite well in her forthcoming year as Lord Mayor of Leeds. 

The activities of the Trustees and the Board for 2021/2022 have steered Leeds Art Fund through the challenges of the immediate post lockdown period. We have built a sound base from which to move forward, as we seek to support Leeds Museums and Galleries maintain its place as one of the stellar regional collections of this country for the enjoyment and inspiration of visitors. 

## _Investment policy and performance_ 

Our investment policy is to invest for the medium term, looking for the optimum balance between income and capital growth. The investment climate has continued to be unsettled. 

The Hurst and Lill bequests are invested in the COIF Accumulation Investment Fund; the units fell by 4% in the year. The general funds of the Charity were divided between a portfolio administered by Redmayne Bentley, which fell by 17% and the COIF Income Investment Fund which fell by 6%. In the light of COIF’s long term performance, the Trustees decided to add to the COIF holding by selling the Redmayne Bentley portfolio. This was done in October 2022. 

## **RISK ASSESSMENTS** 

The Trustees have identified the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Fund faces and systems are in place to mitigate any exposure to these risks.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

## **INVESTMENT POLICY** 

The Charity’s investment policy is to maximize the total return on the portfolio by optimizing the balance between dividend income and capital growth with the intention of maintaining the real value of the capital. CCLA continues to invest and manage our funds. The Hurst and Lill bequests, valued at £1.34m, are invested in the COIF Accumulation Investment Fund, which reinvests its income. The remaining investments are held in the COIF Income Investment Fund which produces quarterly dividends. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustee monitor the reserves of the Charity on a regular basis to ensure adequate funds exist to sustain the Charity for the foreseeable future. 

## **STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The Charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources of the Charity for the period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Approved by the trustees on                                    2023 and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LEEDS ART FUND CIO** 

I report on the accounts of the Leeds Art Fund CIO for the year ended 30 September 2022 set out on pages 6 to 16. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - to keep records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**LEEDS ART FUND CIO** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

## 1 **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principle accounting policies adopted are as follows: 

## **Basis of Preparation** 

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) (effective January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the Charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Incoming resources comprises all incoming resources becoming available to the Charity during the year and includes income from all sources regardless of its source or of the purpose to which it is applied. Where applicable income is recognised where all conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt. 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be 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. 

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the Charity or have been met. 

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. 

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. 

Investment gains and losses includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 

All income is reported gross with no setting off of costs or expenses. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

Page 10 



**LEEDS ART FUND CIO** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022** 

## 1 **ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## **Resources Expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to specific activities or categories. Costs of charitable activities comprise all expenditure directly relating to the objects of the Charity including costs incurred in supporting  charitable activities and projects. 

Governance costs comprise costs incurred in connection with the administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

Where appropriate costs are apportioned between charitable activities and governance expenditure by the trustees on a reasonable and consistent basis. 

Expenditure is stated gross of non-recoverable VAT where applicable. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Funds held by the Charity are either: 

(a) Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

(b) Unrestricted designated funds – these are funds which, whilst unrestricted, have been allocated to certain projects. 

(c) Restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes specified by donors of the funds. 

## **Investments** 

Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. 

The Charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. Such investments are treated as current asset investments. 

## **Heritage assets** 

The Charity accounts for the objects in its collection as non-operational heritage assets. A heritage asset is defined as "a tangible or intangible asset with historical, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that is held and maintained principally for its contribution to knowledge and culture." 

The Charity includes donated or purchased heritage assets acquired since 1 April 2001 on the balance sheet at cost or valuation at the time of acquisition. Valuations are performed during the year of acquisition by experts for donated assets. The cost or valuation is not subject to revaluation because such information can not be obtained at a cost commensurate with the benefit to users of the financial statements. Capitalised heritage assets are not depreciated because they are deemed to have indefinite lives, but are subject to impairment reviews where damage or deterioration is reported. The Charity has not capitalised heritage assets acquired prior to 1 April 2001. This is because comprehensive valuation, as illustrated below, would not provide a meaningful figure for users of the financial statements and the cost of doing so is not commensurate with the benefits to users of the financial statements. 

Attempting to value heritage assets acquired historically raises a number of conceptual concerns. Valuation of heritage assets is complicated by the nature of many such assets. They are rarely sold and often have a value enhanced above the intrinsic through their association with a person, event or collection, there are a very limited number of buyers, no homogeneous population of assets on the market, and imperfect information about the items for sale. In contrast with many commercial assets, therefore, there is seldom an active market to provide indicative values of similar objects. This makes materially accurate valuations impossible to achieve for many heritage assets. Whilst the art collection has a valuation for insurance purposes this is not considered appropriate for accounting purposes.

|---|---|



The accounting policy for Heritage Assets is shown on page 10. As described in this policy, and as referred to below, the assets shown on the balance sheet of the Charity are a very small proportion of the total collection. 

The art collection comprises approximately 140 individual pieces most of which were acquired many years ago. In more recent years the Charity has purchased very few pieces outright but has made contributions towards acquisitions. The only asset capitalised above is a Sir Frank Brangwyn design acquired in June 2016 included at its original cost. The pieces are stored, displayed or loaned in conjunction with Leeds Museums and Galleries (LMG) and a formal loan agreement exists between the two parties. Responsibility for the day to day control and management of the assets rests with LMG and this covers all aspects including loans, security, preservation and insurance. LMG maintains a list of all assets and undertakes the same care and precautions of these assets as for the objects held within its own permanent collections. LMG itself is an accredited museum service and its policies and procedures are subject to external scrutiny to ensure the professional guidelines are met. 

Any new acquisitions, or contributions towards purchase, are considered by the Trustees on a case be case basis in conjunction with LMG and any other relevant parties. 

Given the objects of the Charity, disposal of assets is unlikely and this has never taken place.
