Rosetta Arts Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024
The Board of Trustees of Rosetta Arts are pleased to submit their report and have the financial statements independently examined for the year ended 31st March 2024
Foreword by Chair of Rosetta Arts
It is my honour to present the annual report of Rosetta Arts for 2023/24.
In what has been, and remains, a very challenging time for arts bodies and for society at large, Rosetta Arts has continued to adapt and to make a real contribution to the cultural development and wellbeing of our Newham communities. We have extended opportunities and brought hope, enjoyment, and a sense of achievement to many who may have had few opportunities before.
Rosetta is on a transformational journey: over the past year, we’ve gone through a period of reflection and organisational development and we feel we now have the
building blocks in place to reboot our exciting programmes. We have a skilled, dedicated and friendly new staff team; eight committed new Trustees who join our existing trustee group, and I am delighted to have come on board as interim Chair. All of this is bringing new focus, passion and energy.
Whilst doing all this, we have also continued to innovate, to exercise prudent financial management, but also to be bold and adopt a growth strategy so we are ready to capitalise on opportunities and invest in the foundations for our future. Our accounts show this planned investment in specific business areas.
My fellow Trustees and I are proud to be part of the Rosetta Family and Rosetta's story that goes back more than 30 years, and to help guide its future success.
Fatima Vepari, Interim Chair, Rosetta Arts
Reference and Administrative Information
This is the sixth annual report and accounts of Rosetta Arts, which was established on 7 March 2018 as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO, registration no. 1177462) under the name of Rosetta Art Centre, and which builds on the work of the Rosetta Art Centre Community Interest Company which was originally formed in 1993. The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
02
Structure and Governance
Responsible governance of the charity is exercised through the Board of Trustees who are all directors of the charity (‘the Board’). The Board is made up of independent lay members who are responsible for the conduct of Rosetta Art Centre CIO and for ensuring that it satisfies all legal and contractual obligations.
The Trustees are volunteers and are not remunerated for their time.
The Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the charity and is ultimately accountable for how effectively the charity meets the defined aims through direct charitable activity. The Board employs executive, administrative and operational staff to deliver the charity’s objectives
The Board meets at least four times a year. The Board delegates day to day responsibility to the CEO who is required to attend Board meetings and to report on all operational and financial matters including staff matters and service delivery.
The directors of the charity are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the Trustees. The Trustees at the start of the year 2023/24 were as follows:
David Forrester (Chairman) Matthew Merkle (Trustee) Sanaz Amidi (ex-officio as CEO) Vivian Murinde (Trustee) Trevor Burgess (Trustee) Steve Cameron (Trustee) Mark Burey (Trustee) Amber Perrier (Trustee)
Ismail Mahmood (Trustee) Cllr Rev Ann Easter (Advisor) Secretary: Susan Movahedi
Under the new leadership of CEO Jan De Schynkel since August 2023, five months into the 2023/24 financial year, there has been a significant period of organisational development that is still continuing in 2024/25. This has included transformational Board development and renewal. As a result, the current Trustees as of December 2024, signing off the financial statements and Annual Report are as follows:
Fatima Vepari (Interim Chair) Jan De Schynkel (ex-officio as CEO) Aida Esposito (Trustee) Amber Perrier (Trustee) Charlotte Garnett (Trustee) Daniel Jones (Trustee) Felicity Ndebele (Trustee) Jo Clarke (Trustee) Kelly Robinson (Trustee) Smitha Islam (Trustee) Steve Cameron (Trustee) Trevor Burgess (Trustee) Waleed Sajjad (Trustee and Treasurer) Cllr Rev Ann Easter (Advisor)
The Board meets quarterly to review Rosetta’s strategy and progress towards our targets against our agreed key performance indicators (KPIs); our finances, including cash flow and quarterly accounts; risk register; key operational planning and human resource issues. We have established a staff handbook with clear Employment, Safeguarding and Equal Opportunities policies.
We are currently setting up sub-committees and project groups to support the staff team with strategic planning.
We are all too conscious that, as a small and potentially vulnerable charity in rapidly changing times, our achievements have been and will continue to depend not only on the commitment of our outstanding staff but on the strength of our partnerships, first and foremost the long-standing relationship with the London Borough of Newham, but also with Arts Council England which in 2018/19 designated Rosetta Arts as a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO).
03
Mission and Objectives
Rosetta’s vision is:
Enriching the lives of East Londoners through the transformative power of the arts
The mission of Rosetta Arts is:
Rosetta Arts empowers, connects and up-skills underrepresented* artists and communities in Newham and East London. Through high-quality visual arts and creativity programmes we:
Support health & wellbeing through the transformative benefits of creativity Support creative education in schools
Act as a catalyst for creative talent and inclusive employment pathways in the creative industries
We seek to realise this mission by applying four core values :
To be creative, authentic, empowering and agile - with, by and for communities
And by embodying those values in the pursuit of four core aims :
-
Making, doing and experiencing arts together to improve wellbeing, quality of life and connection of local people
-
Using creativity to unlock the potential of children and young people
-
Support, champion and platform underrepresented artists to build a more equitable arts sector
-
Build supportive organisational and people capacity to ensure a resilient and dynamic organisation
These core aims are then broken down into SMART objectives , articulated in our business plan.
-
The core aims also correspond with Rosetta three key thematic pillars of work: Creative Health
-
Inclusive opportunities for Children and Young People (0-25) in and out of schools Artist and sector development
Some cross-cutting themes run through everything we do:
-
Environmental responsibility and nature-positive approaches Creative health
-
Equality, diversity and inclusion

History
At the heart of Rosetta Arts is the Rosetta Art Centre, which is part of the Gainsborough Learning Centre. We are an accessible, community-based visual arts centre in West Ham, East London, with facilities including a pottery studio, darkroom, printmaking and painting rooms and a photographic studio. With the support of Newham London Borough and other key partners such as Arts Council England, Rosetta Arts has developed a major role locally in the years since 1993. This was the year that Yvonne Humble started Rosetta Arts with arts classes in the Rosetta primary school; hence our name. Since then, Rosetta has become a CIO, a registered Charity, and since 2018, an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO).
One of the Centre’s early students was Alexander McQueen. Yvonne remembers when he first came to her:
“Lee, as he wanted to be called, came to me as an evening student when he was learning tailoring in Saville Row. His first words were not just to be an everyday student, but to tell me he wanted to be a great designer of clothes.”
Alexander was one of many that came to the Centre with ambitions, and were supported, encouraged and trained to work towards them. This ethos of nurturing creative talent has always stayed central to Rosetta.
We serve a dynamic and diverse community, delivering innovative and creative courses, workshops and experiences for the people of East London, and reaching those who otherwise have little access to the rich and transformative benefits of the arts and education. We work across gender, disability, age and income, responding to poverty and inequality by acting as a catalyst for creative talent.
Our Achievements
As one of Arts Council England’s NPOs, we have secured annual funding to help cover some of our core costs until 2026. 2023/24 is the sixth year as a CIO, and is the second year of our three-year Business Plan.
Under the leadership of our new CEO Jan De Schynkel, since August 2023, Rosetta Arts has placed a renewed focus on:
- collaborative partnerships, empowerment of local voices and relevant programming that addresses individual and hyper-local barriers and needs
re-asserting Rosetta’s unique USPs amidst the wider strategic Newham picture
- re-focusing our business and operational model and strengthening organisational skills, systems and capacity

STEP Traineeship
We collaborated with The Good Growth Hub’s STEP programme, a 12-month paid traineeship for diverse young east londoners aged 18-30 to land their first role in the creative & cultural sectors. Our trainee receives the London Living Wage and is assigned a specialist industry mentor and personal career coaching.
06
In 2023/24, we supported a range of artists, educators and producers to have more sustainable careers: Rosetta paid £110,388 directly to artists and creative producers curating exhibitions, managing creative projects and facilitating events and programmes.
£110,388
Directly to artists and creative producers curating exhibitions, managing creative projects and facilitating events and programmes.
A 2020 Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) report found that for every £1 generated in the arts and culture, an additional £1.23 gross value added was generated in the wider economy. According to this formula, Rosetta has contributed £246,165 to the Creative Industries and the wider economy combined.
As a National Portfolio Organisation, Rosetta receives funding of £100,000 per annum from Arts Council England. A direct return on this £100,000 investment of £246,165 demonstrates Rosetta’s meritorious and commendable use of public funding.

Financial Review
We are thankful to our funders and partners during 2023/24:
Arts Council England London Borough of Newham The National Lottery Heritage Fund Greater London Authority Royal Docks Trust Foundation for Future London
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Culture Within Newham The Co-operative RTR Foundation & Champions 4 Children Community Assemblies 2021 The Walsh Family
Rosetta Arts is a local charity serving a vulnerable part of London. The Trustees have adopted prudent financial policies to enable the organisation to cope with fluctuations in activity and earned income; but it is necessarily dependent to a considerable extent on public funding, for which the Trustees are most grateful. Our financial statement is attached. In summary:
Rosetta Arts received income of £370,558 in the year to 31 March 2024. The main sources were:
-
Grants of £271,920 of which £100,000 is from the Arts Council NPO funding
-
Commissions of £57,275
-
Fees from students amounting to £9,780
-
Donations of £10,320
-
Other Income of £21,263
Our expenditure for the year totalled £441,639 split between:
Direct charitable costs, including fees paid to our artists, of £354,155
-
Costs of raising funds £3,868
-
Support costs of £83,616
Our deficit for 2023/24 totalled £71,081 of which £51,029 was on projects with restricted funding. Funding for some projects had been received in the previous accounting year and were included in funds brought forward. At the end of this financial period we carry forward £20,500 of restricted funds to support projects that span accounting years.
Unrestricted deficit in the year of £19,959 included spend on developing our staff and implementing a new staff structure including investment in Internal Quality Assurance for accredited courses, a Creative Health Producer, a Community Events Manager, and external HR support.
This planned overspend/investment is in line with the growth strategy that the trustees agreed to at the December 2023 Board meeting and is again reflected in our designated reserves planning below.
Reserves policy
The total funds of the charity are made up of unrestricted funds of £347,242 and restricted funds of £20,500 which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors.
Reserves are that part of a charity’s unrestricted fund that is freely available to spend on any of the charity’s purposes. Rosetta Arts has reserves of £345k. It is the policy of the Charity to hold free reserves of £120k, roughly equivalent to a minimum of 3 months core operating costs plus wind-up fees. The Trustees have agreed to create Designated Funds from our reserves for the following planned future events:
Website & IT £10k Continued organisational restructure & growth £40k Capital fund £150k (increase from last year designated fund of £40k)
12
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
In a relatively steady operating environment key risks that have the potential to impact reserves have been identified as:
Inability to raise income
-
Meeting cashflow requirements caused by delays in receipt of fee or grant income Inability to manage funded programmes within budget
-
The urgent replacement of vital operating equipment Financial loss due to fraud, cyber attack or misuse of funds Bank failure leading to financial loss
The Charity maintains a Risk Register and undertakes periodic reviews for different areas of risk including: insurance cover; health and safety policies in the workplace and whilst performing; working with young children and vulnerable adults; financial affairs; personnel practices; ICT technology; and security of tenure. In relation to these, and apart from matters completely outside the Charity’s control, the Board considers that the risks to which the Charity is subject have been mitigated to a satisfactory level.
Members’ Liability
Each trustee, as a member of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation, undertakes to contribute to the assets of the CIO in the event of its being wound up while he/she is a member, or within one year after he/she ceases to be a member, such amounts as may be required, not exceeding £1, for the debts and liabilities contracted before he/she ceases to be a member.
Plans For The Future
The pandemic and the cost of living crisis have had a significant impact on the arts ecology and the funding landscape. As funding opportunities become more scarce, the need of the diverse communities we serve has increased. We also perceive that amidst rapid regeneration, communities are still left behind and remain marginalised. Rosetta’s work as a connector of people, communities and places, now more than ever, has become even more vital.
In terms of our delivery, we want to stay true to our core mission and genuinely reach out to those with limited opportunities, by helping to remove barriers for those who face them. Our future programmes will therefore have a strong focus on creative projects for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
We also want to make sure that income is not a barrier by ensuring some activities that are free.
13
In order to be able to offer such services and to ensure that Rosetta remains a resilient and sustainable organisation, we are refocusing our business model by aiming for a more balanced income mix.
Another key work area will be to ensure that Rosetta has the long-term security of a fit-for-purpose building to operate from. A building that will function as a safe third space for Newham’s diverse communities.
We will continue strengthening our organisational building blocks, skills and capacity; for example with a rebrand and new website and by refining our communications.
Future programmes will include Urban Gardening, Art Stars (8-12 year olds), SEND provision, Artist Accelerator (our artist and creative sector development programme). We also want to relaunch our accredited art courses (level 1 and level 2). Core to our mission will be our new Saturday Art Hub with free drop in sessions for the local community.
Details of Rosetta’s finances are set out in the Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet and associated Notes to the Accounts below.

Rosetta Art Centre CIO Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024

Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments which are included at market value and the revaluation of certain fixed assets and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011.

Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
