Antepavilion Ltd (Registered number: 10658248)
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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
Objectives and aims
The charity's aims are to advance the education of the public in art and architecture. For artists and architects it offers opportunities for public display of work in prominent urban locations for innovative and self-built work. This objective is pursued predominantly through the annual Antepavilion commission which now attracts an international field of entrants.
Charitable activities & public benefit
After a long but finally successful series of planning appeals, on 25 January 2024, the way was finally cleared for resumption of the Antepavilion commission in our Hoxton Docks home. This rare initiative offers emerging architects, artists and makers an opportunity to create new work for public display. Until 2023 this display had been confined to the Columbia and Brunswick Wharf complex, Hoxton Docks. During the long period in which legal scores were settled with Hackney Council to keep Hoxton Docks alive as an Art display space the charity started to consider wider options for display of projects. In 2023 we supported a smaller project, the Skip House in Southwark. This year we have taken that process a stage further and the 2024 commission was for a work to further develop a new display location for the works that Antepavilion has been sponsoring since 2017. This year's brief is 'Earthwork' and entrants are invited to address the earth of a brownfield site in London SE1 now secured by Antepavilion as an alternative to its Hackney site. This site will add a new location for display of Antepavilion's forthcoming commissions in the short to medium term. The wharves complex is a unique urban environment, situated on the Regents Canal in Haggerston, that hosts a wide range of independent arts and now commands widespread recognition locally in East London but increasingly also nationally and globally. Further information can be found on our website www.antepavilion.org. The commissioning and exhibiting of contemporary architectural and other 3D works and the hosting of related talks and events alongside the provision of affordable studio spaces in the heart of London have continued to further our objectives, specifically to advance the education of the public in art and architecture.
Through examination and discussion of the art-craft-architecture continuum we aim to develop appreciation of the importance of promoting a balance between them in our ever-commercialising and over-regulated urban realm. The completion of our study last year on self-build architecture that aimed to survey and explore the alternatives to prevailing modern design and prescriptive living culminated in the publication of the book Architecture and Anarchism. It documents and illustrates diverse projects that embrace a libertarian ethos and self-organised ways of building. The book continues to sell in small numbers in various markets around the world and stands as an important statement of the charity's mission.
Provision of affordable studio spaces serves to reinforce this by maintaining a creative presence in a city where ever increasing rents threaten London's status as a world-class creative hub.
Projects over the year have been attended by thousands of members of the public. We have successfully involved university students with our artists, architects and performers, helping to further the creative development of young minds.
We are grateful for the support received throughout the year from sponsors.
We believe that these activities meet the Charity Commission's criteria of providing education in the fields of art and architecture for the benefit of the wider public and mankind in general.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Antepavilion Ltd
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Antepavilion Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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
-
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 (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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.
