## **Vision, Mission and Values**
The Liliesleaf Trust UK (TLTU) was established in order principally to advance public knowledge of the solidarity displayed on both a civic and political level by international communities, particularly the British community, including those South(ern) Africans exiled to the UK, with the South(ern) African liberation struggle against the apartheid regime. It also aims to preserve and, where possible, make accessible historically significant physical structures relating to the struggle against apartheid in the UK.
Drawing from this world-changing history; we promote the values of solidarity, social justice, reconciliation, rights of equal participation in political and civic systems and anti-racism to encourage dialogue, reflection, and positive action for contemporary communities, whilst facilitating the sharing of culture and the arts.
## **Chair’s Review of the Year**
In the light of the continuing disruption from the Covid-19 pandemic during 2021, there has never been a greater need to support social inclusion and cohesion, to uplift and provide resources for those people and communities who were already disadvantaged and marginalised through socio-economics or by virtue of their ethnic heritage, and who have been subsequently disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
In the context of a UK already suffering from post-austerity economic insecurity and from heightened post-Brexit xenophobia, the impact of Covid-19 has exposed and intensified structural inequality between communities. Moreover, during this period, the #BlackLivesMatter movement gained momentum, activating a call for the reexamination of structures that perpetuate disenfranchisement, particularly in the wake of the recent Sewell Report that distorts the cause and effect of racial disparity in the UK. The desire to create space for discourse against racism and around racial equality and the possibility of learning from the anti-apartheid heritage speak more profoundly than ever to many of the most pressing social and racial equality issues of the moment.
The Liliesleaf Trust UK (TLTU) is committed to the development of the Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning (CML) at Penton Street and its programming, which is designed to promote collaboration between peoples and encourage participation in the effecting of social transformation, equality and justice. The CML will strive to reduce inequality and promote inclusivity through empowering programming. Unlocking an impactful programme that channels the legacy of one of the most powerful social movements of the 20th century, the CML will foreground an empowering, under-represented Black-led history, redressing longstanding imbalances in the perceptions and experience of UK heritage. Solidarity, active citizenship, community, and cooperation are powerful forces for the continued transformation of our world into a more equal and fair society.
It is in this context that the TLTU has moved to use the term ‘global majority’, which is defined as people who are Black, Brown, Asian, dual or mixed heritage, indigenous to the global south, and/or those who have been racialised as ‘ethnic minority’. In an
3
increasingly complicated and challenging world, it is important that people know the story of international solidarity and can extract value from it for their lives. It is particularly important that young people should know the breadth and depth of involvement between South(ern) Africa and the UK during the struggle against apartheid: the level of support from UK citizens was hugely significant and effective as part of international solidarity with the people of South Africa. We believe that, in order to recognize international solidarity with movements around the world, we need to make a conscious decision to move our language towards global majority to amplify our voices and draw strength from our numbers and the importance of our cause.
There has, on the one hand, been no more challenging period than today in which to work to create a new cultural heritage space, to fundraise effectively to enable us to open the doors of the CML and to establish audiences. On the other hand, there has been no time more crucial than now to bring the envisioned CML to life. Significant demand for our unique programming from schools, community groups and social change agencies during this period has only served to underline the critical need we seek to address.
During this period, our third year of operation (September 2020–August 2021), we were contracted with capital funding of £1 million by the Greater London Authority’s Good Growth Fund and began to draw down the grant. We received over £100,000 in core and capital funding from the African National Congress and the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Foundation, and were pledged £100,000 each by the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Inclusive Society Institute. An AIM Biffa (History Makers) application for a permanent exhibition was successful, as was an expression of interest to the National Lottery Heritage Fund in May 2021. We therefore submitted a full application for development funding of £251,000 to the Heritage Fund in August 2021.
Programme costs were supported by the London Borough of Islington’s Local Initiatives Fund, Open City and HSBC’s charitable trust (this latter donation further supported core costs); and the University of East Anglia awarded us £3,600 for research and development of three teaching resources (on women, the roots of apartheid and themes of migration).
We have continued to work with Counterculture LLP to support project management and business planning, and with architectural practice Al-Jawad Pike to develop plans and studies for the Centre up to RIBA stage 3. The project was submitted for full planning in August 2021 and we look forward to continuing to work to develop the CML as we near the end of RIBA stage 3, with RIBA stage 4 and beyond planned for 2021/22. Co-design with community input was achieved via in-person workshops with schools and community groups as well as with our online community.
Internally, this period has provided opportunity for organisational growth and development. Our Project Action Group (PAG), chaired by Trustee Suresh Kamath, has continued to strategise community engagement, develop partnerships and shape programme content and direction, supporting the work of our Project Director. We have welcomed to the PAG Dr Elizabeth Williams, Duwaine Brown, Pauline Foster and Ethel Tambudzai, who will contribute their expertise in academic research, community engagement, and business development to further the project’s growth.

The employment of Caroline Kamana as Project Director was agreed as from April 2021, enabling Caroline to continue her sterling work as Project Manager and to secure the development and management of the CML.
A particular programme highlight of the year came in May 2021, when we led HSBC’s global commemoration of George Floyd through an exclusive film screening of Life is Wonderful: Mandela’s Unsung Heroes. This was followed by a curated panel discussion which investigated practical multi-racial alliance, scaffolded by critical-thinking-based workshops to underpin and integrate the capacity of HSBC’s skills-base to schools in the Canary Wharf locality, supporting pathways to employment for young people.
Moreover, the growth of our partnership with Islington’s 11 by 11 programme - which enables us to work directly with schools and education services across the Borough – has been most heartening. During this period, we delivered enrichment workshops that reached over 20 of their schools and engaged over 500 of Islington’s students in practical and collaborative activities rooted in the heritage and legacy of the antiapartheid struggle. We look forward to seeing our critical cultural enrichment develop resilience and collaboration skills in the young people in our locality.
In the next period of our growth, we aim to support pathways to employment; to provide, through development of our digital presence, a wider accessibility for the CML’s audiences; and to strengthen communities by offering a platform for contemporary perspectives on the resonances from the liberation struggle heritage, with a particular focus around social equality, anti-racism, inclusion, migration and equalities that will bring us closer to a fairer future for all.

## **Objectives and Activities**
Our charitable objectives are to advance education of the public about the South(ern) African liberation struggle and international solidarity with the cause, in particular by South(ern) Africans exiled in the UK and Britons. Learning about and learning from this heritage and related themes and values, are to be advanced through (physical and virtual) public access to the globally significant heritage of the former ANC London
5
Headquarters (at 28 Penton Street Islington N1), through archive, exhibitions, arts and culture sharing, community engagement and educational programming.
Our Charitable objectives for the public benefit are laid out in our constitution as follows, to:
1. advance the education of the public about the South African liberation struggle against the repressive apartheid regime pre-1994 by raising awareness of the role of international civic and political societies, particularly British and those South Africans exiled in Britain, in solidarity with this cause;
2. provide advancement of arts, culture and heritage and the preservation of historically significant physical structures relating to the liberation struggle in the UK:
3. promote human rights and related themes by drawing on heritage and historical narratives from the liberation struggle and the contribution of the British anti-apartheid movement to its cause by encouraging dialogue and reflection around its principles and values (such as, though not limited to, social justice, reconciliation, equality, liberty, inclusivity, diversity, cohesion, respect and racial harmony).
For public benefit, TLTU’s project, The Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning at Penton Street looks to support, galvanise and uplift local communities as well as offering these benefits to wider society through:
**1.** Creating a new Centre of Memory and Learning (CML); built on the legacy of one of the 20th Century’s most important global social histories and a first for the UK. With two exhibition spaces, the CML will offer a permanent gallery that speaks to the wider history of the liberation struggle and a temporary gallery hosting changing displays and installations co-curated by the CML and community groups spotlighting themes and issues pertinent to local and wider audiences inspired by the struggle’s legacy of social justice activism and encouraging civic participation. The CML aims to offer an accessible archive, study/reading spaces, a community learning garden and publicly accessible green space as well as offer affordable workspace for micro-businesses, charities and community groups that will address needs identified in the local economy.
**2.** Fostering social inclusion and promote responsible citizenship; galvanising active civic participators. The CML is committed to facilitating the sharing culture and the arts enabling dialogue, reflection and positive action through the themes, values and legacy of this globally significant history. Through its educational programming and outreach work, the CML will innovate learning opportunities that invite, inspire and inform all visitors, young and old, to imagine and create better fairer futures, together. Integrated programmes of workshops, events, talks, and participatory activities will enable the CML to develop sustainable relationships with harder-to-reach communities and the CML’s meeting rooms, event spaces, and learning garden will provide new areas for these and other communities to come together.
3. Building skills, leadership and employability of local people; developing workplace ready skills and resilience.
6
The CML aims to be a leader for training and employment locally and in the cultural sector. Models of positive leadership from within the South African liberation struggle and anti-apartheid movement will, along with making visible role models of global majority heritage, enable the CML to build a programme of activities targeted at young people, global majority and lower socioeconomic groups in particular, building skills (communication, collaboration and resilience) and commitment to impact their own communities, driving aspiration and leadership to support progression to employment. Older people will also share skills, experience, and time to support this programme and provide opportunities for intergenerational learning.
The CML’s outreach programme has been primarily supported by the London Borough of Islington and HSBC’s Charitable Trust. In the period between September 2020 – August 2021, the outreach programme included three areas:
**Learning Enrichment:** Over 24,000 school students have been reached (since autumn 2019 and through to end of this reporting period) through our partnerships with London Borough of Islington’s 11by11* programme and Heritage Service, Hackney Learning Trust, Barnet Schools Improvement and Journey to Justice. We work to strengthen curriculum education across a range of key stages through integrating empowering movement against apartheid (MAA)-inspired learning, via talks and tailored cross-curricular workshops, using MAA global majority-heritage role models and whose stories promote societal cohesion and civic participation.
*11 by 11 is the London Borough of Islington’s Learning Enrichment Programme, that seeks to offer eleven high quality cultural, arts-related or sporting enrichment activities to all students by the end of year 11 over and above what is offered through the school curricula. TLTU are delighted to be official 11 by 11 cultural partners.
Most recently, in the 2021 Summer Term, we supported LBI’s supplementary school, Upward Bound, to develop activism writing and poetry skills and partnered Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School for LBI’s 11by11 Festival. As well as working with the whole school on themes of resilience, collaboration and anti-racism, during the festival we ran a week-long programme for year 10s that used creative and critical thinking-based activities to respond to the themes raised by engaging with MAA heritage; the final outcome was a creative showcase produced by the year 10 cohort which demonstrated the deep resonances of these themes through the lens of MAA heritage’s contemporary relevance.
**Empowering Young People:** We’ve recently worked with the National Youth Theatre to support their nationally-reaching Silent Statues project, to identify and celebrate hidden heroes nominated by young people to counter social and racial inequality in public commemorative commissioning. We have begun a new partnership with Art Against Knives to support marginalised young people by creatively amplifying their voices in society. Collaboration with Creative Society, Creative Jobs has enabled paid internships for several previously unemployed and/or out-of-work young people. We have begun to scaffold how we will support LBI’s 100 Hrs of Work & Youth Employment services to develop skills and provide internships.
**Exhibitions, Talks and Events:** Through 2019-2021, we have worked with partners Nelson Mandela the Official Exhibition, Journey to Justice, Islington Museum,
7
Caledonian Clock Tower and the Anti-Apartheid Movement Archives to research, curate, interpret and share MAA history through exceptional heritage-inspired events and displays. These exhibitions have reached over 26,000 visitors, received significant positive media and audience feedback and engaged over 4,000 young people and teachers through accompanying learning events. In October 2020 we partnered LBI’s Race Equality Network to support Black History Month Celebrations with talks for residents, workers and teachers and created downloadable activities that highlighted the diverse heritage of the borough for families and young people, encouraging creative responses to this heritage.
A highlight for summer 2021 was our partnership with Caledonian Clock Tower, which enabled us to re-curate “Fighting Apartheid in Islington” (first curated in 2018 by Islington Museum and our partners the Anti-Apartheid Movement Archives) and to host this new collaborative exhibition and offer supporting events within their new learning Centre that centered our Refugee Week offer.
## **Programming Overview:**
During the reporting period (September 20-August 21), we hosted and collaborated with partners to put on nearly 50 individual workshops, talks, and other events. These directly engaged over 17,700 participants. Whilst Covid-19 forced some online at the last minute, we had the opportunity to hold many in person. Some events were designed to be held online in order to bring together geographically disparate participants. Our youngest participants were pre-school age and older participants ranged all stages of adulthood, including some who are in their 80s. For specific detail of all programme carried out during this period please see Appendix A (pages 44-49).
The following section of this report showcases some of the events/projects that have taken place during the reporting period:
Sept 2020: Open City, Open House Families
TLTU was awarded a grant (of £500) by Open City to develop an activity that engaged families and young people in the architectural development, context and heritage of the Centre of Memory and Learning. An online activity is available at https://learning.open-city.org.uk/cultivate-a-community-garden/ and the task was set out to both inspire collaborative creativity between families and young people whilst they produced designs for the community garden at the CML that reflect the themes and values (freedom, anti-racist, inclusion) as part of engagement with the rich heritage of the anti-apartheid movement in the UK. As part of the development of this activity, three young people from the borough were contracted to create a YouTube tutorial style video to inspire families and young people in creating their own designs. The video has since been viewed by over seventy-five families in the local area.
The funding also supported the creation of a virtual workshop for young members (aged between 10-15) of The Woodcraft Folk, an organization which historically supported the Anti-Apartheid movement. This was recorded and shared with local Woodcraft Folk groups, aiming to inspire collaboration and creativity in young people with the aim of co-creating equal, fair and just societies directly reaching more than 300 young people and their families.

Sept 2020: Professional Knowledge Development for Islington Teachers
(secondary and primary), as London Borough of Islington, 11 by 11 Programme Cultural Partner, reaching teachers from 17 schools across the Borough. Feedback from the teachers attending included:
“I didn't know this local history”
“I’d like to know more about Adelaide Tambo”
“Penton Street narratives can support learning about Black History all year round”
“I’d like to use some of these stories in class as they offer plenty of option to celebrate underknown role models”
Oct 2020: TLTU were partners of the London Borough of Islington’s Black History Month Programme, supporting the Borough’s Race Equality Network to deliver a month of events including workshops, history talks, family activities and networking. TLTU’s Chair and Project Manager gave a talk about the historical context of the site at 28 Penton Street, exploring lesser-known stories about the people who worked from and were associated with the building, setting this within the UK’s own anti systemic racism narrative, spanning from the 1950s and the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination through to its contemporary resonances. Feedback from participants demonstrated a lack of knowledge amongst the local residents and workers about this as local cultural heritage and provoked a desire to know more, as well as to ensure that this particular Black British history is known about more widely with a view to it underpinning discussion and action in contemporary and ongoing struggles (both in the UK and overseas) in racial equality, race relations and social justice.
"I had no idea this was on our doorstep"
“rich resource for Black history in Islington and further afield”
“It’s true, I didn't know about Oliver Tambo and only recognised Nelson Mandela”
“makes me proud to be associated with this area”
“can communities get involved in this project? It has so much potential for inspiring change”
We also created two downloadable arts and craft activities for families and young people designed to enrich learning about, and from, the legacy of anti-apartheid heritage (both in the Islington locality and on a global scale) and to enrich learning and life skills. The activities encouraged wellbeing (physical and mental), intergenerational communication and included showcased global majority focused narratives demonstrating resilience, leadership and civic participation.

From October 2020 to June 2021: we delivered Cultivate a Garden and Local History workshops for primary and Secondary schools across the 11 by 11 partnership (Islington) and in Hackney/ Brent. These cross curricular workshops were delivered both online and in person and included an art/design component as well as an introduction to the unique heritage of the CML (anti-apartheid solidarity and activism) and explore themes of community justice, collaboration, resilience and wellbeing.
The Cultivate A Garden offer was a cross-curricular humanities focused workshop with a specific focus on flora, fauna and biocultural adaptations to South African/ UK climates and explored links between popular resistance to injustice and methodologies for community justice in humanity. Some students examined planting in Islington’s Highbury Fields (at the South African War Memorial) and create their own garden schemes for the new Centre of Memory of Learning with furnishing, planting and decoration that promotes inclusion, collaboration and wellbeing.
We used a mixture of different approaches, depending on time available for sessions and available resources – there was a mixture of 2D and 3D modelling and plenty of discussion. Some of their design suggestions included “green patches for chats and a sit down” (age 9) and “a restful water feature for relaxing together and benches” (age 8).
We worked with Hackney based skills development organisation Inspire EBP to offer a unique co-design programme to 180 students at La Sainte Union School, a secondary school in Camden, during one of the 2021 lockdowns. Students had 2 days to work through a pack supplied by us (video of heritage, link to our partners’ AAMArchives website and a video made especially to encourage co-design for the garden in 3D. This can be seen at https://youtu.be/5GzVqXeKJRo
We were thrilled with the responses from the students which included these designs – a garden with compost bin and book swap stall (“books by authors of all backgrounds writing about subjects that inspire us to work together”) on the left and on the right, a community garden that offered a mural wall, places to sit a pond and a community fridge.

## Fighting Apartheid In Islington with Caledonian Clock Tower
With planning set in motion from early 2021, our partnership with Caledonian Clock Tower has been – and continues to prove – exceptionally productive, with new audiences reached for both organisations and with a total of 627 shared participants reached to date. Caledonian Clock Tower was once the focal point of a thriving cattle market and now sits as the centre piece of Caledonian Park, in the 1830s a gathering point for the defining solidarity march held in support of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. A shared local but globally relevant history of solidarity and radicalism, of collaborations against injustice brought the two organisations together and the first offer was this 6 panel exhibition:
Fighting Apartheid in Islington was co-curated by The Liliesleaf Trust UK (TLTU) and Caledonian Clock Tower, based on the exhibition created by TLTU’s partner, the Anti-Apartheid Movement Archives, with the Islington Museum that was displayed in 2018 at Islington Museum to celebrate the 100[th] anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s birth.
Created for display during Refugee Week 2021, the theme of which was “We cannot Walk Alone”, the exhibition told of how the people of Islington, with support from the council and in collaboration with Southern African exiles, including the ANC based at Penton Street, stood up to apartheid. The exhibition also showcased the plans to create the Centre of Memory and Learning and provided a springboard for many TLTU hosted community engagement and co-design sessions.
The exhibition was on display at Caledonian Clock Tower for two weeks in June and then every other weekend until the end of 2021; over 637 people have engaged with the exhibition at Caledonian Park at the time of writing and several hundred more expected during its 2022 tour. In 2022 the exhibition will be used for selected co-design sessions form the backdrop for further TLTU engagement sessions and during the 40[th] Anniversary commemorations of the Bombing of Penton Street.
This model of travelling/temporary exhibition will continue to be employed as the CML opens.

We programmed a week of activities to celebrate Refugee Week, themed “we cannot walk alone” including lived-experience storytelling of migration and finding refuge in London for young people, adults and families and interactive storytelling for under 5s and carers, that centred the pop-up exhibition. We collaborated with Islington Guided Walks and Caledonian Clock Tower to co-curate and deliver a programme of events around wellbeing, social integration and elevation of connection with locality. This included two pilot guided walks on that took in fifteen stories of migration in the near vicinity of 28 Penton Street and which threaded the narrative of the ANC’s taking refuge in the borough of Islington with other local migration-based stories and a of series lived experience talks around finding refuge in London in collaboration with Education through Culture, New Beacon Books, and Caledonian Clock Tower
Feedback gathered during the events discussions showed:
1. Clear appetite to engage with CML themes (activism, black -led history, solidarity against injustice)
2. Willingness of people to travel (some came from LBI but others travelled in from over 20km away)
3. Request for permanently accessible stories the celebrate themes of migration, changemakers and diverse heritage
4. Importance of refreshment points and accessible toilets in CML for visitors
5. Appetite to engage with lived-experience narratives (either in form of talks as this one or through listening posts/AV screens etc. sharing oral histories, especially ones from ‘ordinary people’
## Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School: July 2021
Days 1 & 2 : This began with a film screening of Life is Wonderful: Mandela’s Unsung Heroes and a Q&A with the director, Sir Nick Stadlen, and was then followed by one and a half days exploring the themes and values of the struggle against apartheid and the specifics of Islington’s local heritage of activism (the ANC in Islington, Islington’s anti-apartheid, exiles from Southern Africa settled in Islington and so on) and linking this heritage to ongoing issues in the local and wider community and collectively brainstorming of pathways for positive social change. Students developed creative response pieces (spoken word, persuasive writing letters, speeches etc), inspired by themes that resonated with them from the heritage and that brought awareness of issues to wider audiences.
Days 3 & 4: was focused on co-design for the CML and this was developed in two strands over two days (with the 25 students split into two rotating strands) Strand 1 included group activities that imagined spaces in the garden, the ground floor layout and the frontage of the site Penton Street. Strand 2 explored exhibition design and
12
content for the CML based on the themes that came from their investigations of the heritage and legacy during days 1 and 2 of the programme.
A group of students engaged in co-design for the new Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning (at Penton Street, Islington) (Exhibition
Theme for their exhibition: Design inspired by South African Culture and Heritage, furnishings included colours drawn from SA flag and a kitchen for food preparation and tasting to share the flavours of South African cuisine as part of events.
One group of students designed an exhibition that explores the history of protest against racism and racial injustice both through history and across the world and which traced the influences of this on contemporary British society and movements for change in the UK
The students spent half a day on garden design, integrating their ideas for temporary exhibitions in the ground floor with a holistic experience for the visitor moving from inside to outside. In one group, students suggested a tree within the building itself – there was some disagreement within the group as to whether it was a sculptural art piece or an actual tree in a planter – however the agreement on the symbolism that needed to be presented within the centre was consistent – a rooting in heritage that serves to nourish and support visitors on their journey through the CML and beyond.
We have been working with Art Against Knives (preventing youth violence through creativity) since early 2021; supporting a podcasting course for young people with a focus on the contemporary resonances of the anti-apartheid legacy.
13
Left is an image one of the podcast sessions in action (May 2021). This session was a blended recording session (with Suresh Kamath, former AAM Activist and TLTU Trustee on zoom) and Lela Kogbara (Founder of Black Thrive Global and former AAM Activist) in conversation with two young Art Against Knives participants. The conversation was a rich discussion about colonialism and its effects – looking back to apartheid and forward to transformative and positive
futures. The young people were inspired, describing the conversation as “soul feed” and a creative consultation on the programming that the CML will offer is planned for 2022, as is an Art Against Knives / TLTU collaboration to facilitate an Arts Mark award.
A second session took place in July 2021 with two former London Recruits being interviewed by the young people and explored themes of allyship, internationalism and civic duty.
## **A New Centre of Memory and Learning**
The site at 28 Penton Street, the former London headquarters of the African National Congress (ANC) in exiles, was vacated by its occupiers in late 2019 and its owners, the ANC, reconfirmed their mandate to The Liliesleaf Trust UK to develop a Centre of Memory and Learning within its grounds. While the African National Congress (ANC) are a key partner for TLTU, and their part in the AAM is an important part of the narrative our heritage illuminates; our charity is fully independent and committed to representing the actions of the many important organisations and individuals that led to defeat of the apartheid regime.
In March 2020, TLTU was awarded £1M capital funding to develop the CML by The Greater London Authority’s (GLA) Mayor’s Good Growth Fund, a fund supported by Her Majesty’s Government and LEAP (London Economic Action Partnership).
Developing architectural planning and design for the Centre of Memory and Learning (CML) are Al- Jawad Pike, an award-winning London-based architectural studio founded in 2014 by Jessam Al-Jawad and Dean Pike, selected not least because of their mission to produce architecture that not only transforms the experience of its users but that of the wider community through co-design and engagement throughout the design process. RIBA stage 3 is almost complete and a planning application to London Borough of Islington was submitted in early August 2021 with a view to beginning renovation works at the site in the forthcoming year.
During this reporting period we were delighted to contract with the GLA for our capital funding award (achieved in October 2020) and successfully raised capital match funding contributions from the African National Congress (£100,000) and the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust (a proportion of their £6,000 grant allocated to
14
capital). Further capital match pledges from the Inclusive Society Institute (£100,000), AIM Biffa (£58,880) and the Garfield Weston Foundation (£100,00) were gratefully received by the project.
## **Design Update**
During this reporting period, our project has moved forwards significantly through site surveys, continued community consultation, design development, and fundraising. Site surveys (structural & drainage) revealed sound foundations at 28 Penton Street. However, the CCTV drainage report revealed that the placement of the outlet to the main sewer would necessitate significant and costly engineering adaptions in order to enable our intended plans to lower the basement and introduce natural light into the underground space. In tandem with our community consultation, which continued to highlight the significant value of the site as a community meeting and learning space, this galvanised a process of design review that looked at different options to respond to these opportunities and challenges.
Through doing this, a preferred option has been selected that unlocks new opportunity through including an above ground extension to the existing building. This option increases the overall footprint of the building, enabling an increase of 1/3[rd] in dedicated exhibition and interpretation space – rising from 48m2 to 65m2. It also enables an increase in the display of our central exhibition space, from 27m2 to 33m2. The proposed designs create more space for visitor flow, improves accessibility features for the CML, accommodates group visits more comfortably, and expands the scale of interpretation activities that can take place in exhibition spaces.
Our revised plans will maximise potential heritage interpretation and visitor engagement space across the site and allow for a more linked design theme between the main exhibition spaces, the welcome area and the adjoining community garden; increasing the visitor capacity and therefore community engagement within our spaces.
15
The inclusion of an extension affects the scope of our application for planning permission. This extends our previously anticipated date for approval from June 2021 to September 2021.
We foresee no issue in our planning application due to well established precedent for London Borough of Islington’s (LBI) approval of comparable, double-height extensions on both neighbouring sides of our building. We have engaged planning consultants Gerald Eve LLP (bringing previous experience leading planning decisions at LBI) to support our design team around this change of vision. We have been advised that with the neighbouring examples and clear benefit to the project, there is unlikely to be any challenge to our proposals.
The Centre of Memory and Learning; built on the legacy of one of the 20[th] Century’s most important global social histories will offer:
- **i.** a permanent gallery that speaks to the wider history of the liberation struggle
- **ii.** a temporary gallery hosting changing displays co-curated by community groups spotlighting themes and issues pertinent to local and wider audiences
- **iii.** an archive giving access to under known stories (especially those traditionally underrepresented in heritage, particularly diasporic Black and ethnically diverse narratives as part of British history) with access points to recorded audio accounts and digitised UK and SA based collections
- **iv.** a seminar room for educational workshops and corporate hires **v.** affordable workspaces for micro-business, charities and community groups
- **vi.** an education garden designed to reflecting the SA Constitutional Court’s heritage of ‘justice under a tree’ and the boma meeting place in Southern African communities
Throughout the reporting period we’ve engaged local and special interest audience groups in design consultations and co-design (some schools’ co-design work is shown in our programme showcase, p12-19).
A particularly rewarding design consultation event was co-hosted by Al-Jawad Pike architects, HomeGrownPlus and Islington’s Black History 365 Working Group, part of Islington Council’s Race Equality Network, in July 2021. It was attended by nearly 60 people drawn from across a range of backgrounds and interests, including Islington
16
residents and Council employees, Former Anti-Apartheid Activists, Teachers, Activists in contemporary movements, general heritage enthusiasts, academics and community leaders. 42% described themselves as Londoners (not Islington), 25% from Islington and the remainder UK based but outside of London.
For this consultation, participants were asked to consider the following questions in detail:
Q.1 What would you expect when you are invited into the space taking into account the heritage & cultural brief you’ve had this evening i.e. how would you expect to feel/encounter the space?
Q2. Imagine you walk into the space. What kind of textures, features, objects or lighting would you expect? (i.e.) Do you want to see memorabilia immediately?
Q3. How do you think people can best interpret the heritage through the spaces that the building offers?
Examples of consultative feedback:
“It needs to attract younger generations, those who are not aware of the legacy and the value of learning from it. The building should demonstrate this from the outside to bring people in” Consultation participant and Islington resident
“ I dream of art in such a centre, tangible for people to see, feel and be enthused with a link to the past and a relevance to the now and to the future ... bringing out the sensory aspects and the emotion of the history, with visuals, feels, emotions and touch of the space - the colours, materiality and warmth will help people reconcile the past (racial abuse and division)”
Consultation participant of South African heritage
“In our breakout room we had a lot of discussion. people want to see graphics on arrival, images and quotes (not an aspirational quote but something empowering). We had discussions about music, it should be playing in the background to set the scene to bring back memories and to engage local young people who probably don’t know the value of that music or realise that music is about struggle.” Consultation participant and Contemporary Activist
“I wonder if the ground floor needs to have AAM material, certainly Southern Africa struggle material so the theme is set from entering. It should not feel like a traditional museum. It needs to convey activism and activists.” Consultation participant and Londoner
“Inside the space it should be accessible – braille as well as QR codes and listening points.” Consultation participant and Secondary school teacher Over 80% were happy with the designs as presented, with 8% disagreeing and 8% neutral. We will continue to consult with the local and wider community at each stage of the design process as we move forward with the project.
## **- Anti Apartheid Legacy and Partnerships**
17
Drawing from a uniquely relevant past to foreground pressing international dialogue on issues such as institutional and systemic racism; community resilience; collaboration and activism against socio-political injustices; decolonising and diversifying curriculum; the project also has global and current resonance in highlighting the crucial efforts of a diverse group of people (gender, ethnicity, geography, heritage, politics and religion) towards effecting societal change. To aid visibility of and engagement with this in the public arena, the Trustees voted to move towards using a fuller descriptive title “Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning” for the Centre. Anti-Apartheid Legacy becomes the project title, encompassing all outreach and programming work and being CML used to refer specifically to the tangible site at Penton Street.
This Liliesleaf Trust UK Anti-Apartheid Legacy: Centre of Memory and Learning project will achieve 5 core outcomes:
**Transform:** 28 Penton Street into 260m2 of high quality, fully accessible indoor and outdoor engagement space that supports communities to come together, learn, and collaborate as active citizens in the heart of Islington’s Cultural Quarter
**Unlock:** international awareness of the UK movement against apartheid (MAA) as an underrepresented history through onsite and online exhibitions, events, oral histories, education, and community engagement that channel the legacy of one of the most powerful social histories of the 20th Century
**Reach:** 60,000 people each year locally, nationally and internationally, through a venue and parallel online offer that platform a heritage relevant to many and with unique potential to engage groups that are often marginalised — including
migrants, international diaspora and global majority peoples in particular — as well as school, youth and community groups
**Recover:** sustainably towards more resilient future communities through participation, skills building, volunteering, and employment opportunities that promote positive leadership, aspiration, equality and wellbeing in a time of significant need
**Secure:** the CML as a cultural heritage community resource into the future.
The Centre of Memory and Learning will foster social integration and promote responsible citizenship; galvanising active civic participators by offering:
**i.** digital engagement through a website offering a globally accessible platform for creative contemporary resonance with the heritage’s legacy, downloadable education resources and the virtual hosting of symposia, film screenings, workshops and exhibitions
**ii.** an education programme, cross curricular and tailored to support different age groups and curriculum needs, resources and workshops
**iii.** skills development through training programmes and workshops that foreground role models and leadership narratives from the struggle, particularly global majority and womens’ contributions
18
**iv.** platform the arts and culture as tools of changemaking and in building cross-cultural bridges, scaffolding creative exchange and transformation
Mirroring the advancement of our capital project, significant progress was made during the 2020-2021 period in areas of programme, outreach, partnerships and community engagement.
This included work with:
London Borough of Islington (LBI):
LBI – Culture & Skills: 11 by 11 Programme and the Youth Employment Programme LBI – Environment: Chapel Market Redevelopment and Green Spaces
LBI – Partnerships: invitation to support Black History Month
LBI - Heritage Services: Islington Museum and Caledonian Clock Tower
A formalised partnership with Anti-Apartheid Movement Archives Committee was confirmed in the year ending 2020.
In July 2021 we announced a formal partnership with London Metropolitan University, which will scaffold our working collaboratively across a number of areas. The University have pledged to create a fully-funded PhD opportunity to develop a community-focused engagement programme and Collaborative Doctoral Award for TLTU. TLTU will support research taking place at London Met with access to the lived experience of the movement against apartheid from within the Trust’s board, advisory groups and networks’ archival materials. The Trust will also offer work-based learning and volunteering opportunities to students and co-create a shared programme of arts and curatorial-based community engagement activities.
In turn, London Met will provide access to relevant academics and research centres linked to TLTU’s work, and will also work with the Centre as an official London Met Lab: Empowering London partner, empowering local communities and addressing social issues. It is a unique opportunity for staff and students to engage with a site of significant international heritage importance, and address the disenfranchisement of marginalised peoples.
Consultation with potential project partners included Islington Guided Walks, Journey to Justice (also extended through assemblies on the theme of peace and community action delivered to 16 Islington schools reaching over 3,600 teachers and students - supporting a collaboration between Journey to Justice and Islington Faiths Forum), Global Generation, Room to Heal, Nubian Jak Community Trust, The Africa Centre, Layers of London and the Institute of Historical Research.
There has been collaboration with a number of organisations including Art Against Knives, Caledonian Clock Tower, Islington’s Race Equality Network, HSBC, Life is Wonderful, BluePrint for All, Go Africa Festival, Journey to Justice, the Woodcraft Folk, Cubitt Artists, the National Youth Theatre, Open City and Upward Bound (an attainment boosting Saturday school run in partnership between Islington Council and London Metropolitan university).

## **Looking Ahead**
The CML is anticipated to be open to the public at the end of 2023. While we work towards this goal, we will continue to work in community with partners to achieve our engagement aims. We will seek match funding to bring the non-capital contribution to the project from the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust to life, enabling us to commission artists to respond creatively and through a contemporary lens to the heritage of the struggle. Our intention is to host and display these works digitally on our website, which we expect to launch during 21/22.
In 2021 we began a programme of collaborative supporting our local partner, the Go Africa Community Hub and Festival, with a pop up exhibition, round table panel , workshops and family craft sessions. Our first event, in June, provided opportunity for a community conversation was about the importance of diverse storytelling in order that children feel represented and included - the notion that the CML would offer this as a place to tell stories from South(ern) African folklore and culture and operate as a place to showcase the solidarity between African nations during apartheid (something now lost to common knowledge) as part of our ongoing programme was very welcomed. In August, a pop up exhibition telling the story of anti-apartheid solidarity in the UK was accompanied with family friendly activities (badge making and t-shirt design) inspired by the badges, banners, flags and t-shirts used during the movement to spread awareness of the cause. Our invitation was to create designs in areas that are of importance to the participant today, engaging over 160 participants of all ages. During the autumn of 2021 we will support two further events and look forward to collaboration on the 2022 programme.
We look forward to continuing work with Caledonian Clock Tower, to engaging further audiences with our _Fighting Apartheid in Islington Exhibition_ (with several school groups and older community groups scheduled for autumn/winter 21/22) and to deepening our collaborative work with Cubitt Artists. This year we’ve supported Cubitt’s SummerVersity programme, engaging 15 young people in the heritage of the struggle and its contemporary resonances (through a specially curated activism walking tour and creative response) as part of a project to work towards a Silver Arts Award.
During 2022 we will mark the 40[th] anniversary of the bombing of 28 Penton Street by apartheid regime security operatives that threatened the lives of those working to end apartheid, with events, an artist’s commission and more. This sobering reminder of the violence that division breeds will set the tone for the CML as a hub for community healing, collaborative recovery, creative action, and future grassroots change - designed with and for the communities it serves.
Following the success of our week-long programme at EGA school, we’ve been invited to run an elongated ‘enrichment club’ and after-school programme, this time offered for years 9 & 10 and which offers students hands on sessions during which they can develop their communication and collaboration skills as important transformative tools, as well as explore the important role of civic participation. The students have the opportunity to explore, critique and model the importance of determinism for positive
20
social change and tangibly contribute to the design of the new Centre of Memory and Learning. This will run during the academic year 2021/22.
During October 2021 we will set live-briefs to London Metropolitan University’s Visual Communication students (second year Graphic Design BA and second year Animation and Illustration BA) and work with them throughout the academic year. This valuable work-based learning will both offer practical skill development and a resonant research base (in struggle heritage) for the students and support us to build on our community engaged design for the CML and its resources.
At the close of this reporting period, our application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund has been submitted for Development Funding. A successful response will enable us to extend our staff team, expand our programme of engagement and pilot new strands of CML work.
## Volunteers
2020-2021 saw TLTU continue to deliver its programming (which began in 2019; meaningful, locally-situated work with a national and international focus and resonance. Our Project Advisory Group was expanded with new members and we were able to offer three paid internships to local young people (aged between 19-28), developing their creative, collaborative and media skills as part of the Cultivate a Garden project. The young people were recruited from the Creative Society event in February 2020 and they worked on creating a video resource during August -Sept 2020 (therefore their remuneration occurred in the year 2020-21). In 2021/22 we plan to grow this paid internship scheme by 100% and will look to employ (it is expected, through the YES apprenticeship scheme offered by London Borough of Islington) at least one young person during the coming year to coordinate social media and community communications.
## Staffing
Our Project Manager, Caroline Kamana, has been working for TLTU on a consultancy basis since 2018. During 2020-21, her position was contracted as a FT role as Project Director, and thus key part of TLTU’s executive staff.
It is expected that the following staff will be recruited in 2021/22: Operations Manager, Programmes Officer and a Heritage and Community Engagement Manager.
Resource permitting a Research and Content Development and a Communications appointment will also be made in 2022.
## Digital Presence
Social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn were created for TLTU in the autumn of 2020 to raise awareness of the development Centre of Memory and Learning and showcase its outreach. Followers are growing at a steady pace and demonstrate the diversity of our audience and a breadth of interest from activists, teachers, artists, academics, students, special interest groups and agents for social change.

https://twitter.com/PentonStreetCML https://www.facebook.com/AntiApartheidLegacy/ https://linkedin.com/company/the-liliesleaf-trust-uk/ https://www.instagram.com/antiapartheidlegacy/
During 2022, the development of our website at https://antiapartheidlegacy.org.uk/ is expected. Antiapartheidlegacy.org.uk will create an online gateway platform for the Centre of Memory and Learning. It will be multi-functional, serving to build awareness of TLTU, the CML, and its programmes of exhibitions, events, and activities, while also providing a space for online engagement, including digital programming, resources, and creative responses to the legacy of anti-apartheid. The website will work in close collaboration with contemporary artists, activists, organisers, and academics, with a focus on those who have lived experience of the themes that emerge from CML and anti-apartheid heritage (including inequalities and injustice around age, race, gender, and socio-economics).
## **Equality and Inclusion**
Whilst we work in London, Islington, our vision is not to work exclusively in Islington, as narratives of equality and inclusion resonate across the UK more widely.
Significant wealth and education disparity are ingrained in our locality, the London Borough of Islington (LBI). LBI is marked by significant inequality; 21.7% are income deprived including 35% of children (3rd highest nationally), and 5th highest levels in London for older adults. Areas in each LBI ward are among the poorest 20% nationally. Unemployment is at 15.9%, 20% of young people live in unemployed households. Educational attainment is shared unequally in LBI, with an almost 10% difference in attainment rates for disadvantaged pupils and lower attainment by pupils of Black ethnicity. 32% of LBI residents are black and ethnically diverse (with even higher levels amongst young people, approximately 60%). Societal exclusionary issues trace along socio-ethnic lines, with elders in Black and ethnically diverse communities experiencing higher levels of isolation, and young people more likely to live in lowincome households, be stopped by police and/or be involved in the criminal justice system and have lower levels of educational attainment. These issues track across Greater London, with ethnically diverse (and Black communities in particular) experiencing inequality across education, employment, income, housing, and mental and physical health.
TLTU builds its programme, profile, and impact in a context of significant global disquiet. When the impacts of Covid-19 are exposing and intensifying structural inequality between communities, and the need to not only state clearly that Black Lives Matter remains – learning from anti-apartheid heritage and the example of successful movements (political and civic) from within and serving black majority communities speaks more profoundly than ever to many disenfranchised communities today. Collaboration between peoples and grassroots community action does effect change.
The pandemic has exacerbated some of London’s most deeply rooted social issues. Disproportionally affecting the already disadvantaged, it has increased isolation, aggravated inequality, heightened unemployment, widened educational attainment
22
gaps and damaged the confidence, wellbeing and aspiration of communities in need. Cuts to services are decimating existing support structures for those in need. The London borough of Islington has the highest rates of mental health illness in London, the second highest rates of depression and 14% of residents live with a disability. The borough has the second lowest amount of public green space in London.
The heritage that the Centre of Memory and Learning will make accessible has profound potential to engage with the communities most affected by these challenges; increasing the visibility of minority/Black and ethnically diverse struggles and connecting audiences to inspiring programmes that support solidarity, collective action, leadership and skills development and state clearly that Black Lives Matter.
We know that the communities for whom these messages most meaningfully resonate (BAED, migrant, diasporic and disenfranchised groups) are some of the least frequent visitors to heritage venues in our capital and across the UK. Our research has evidenced that many people of global majority heritage, particularly Black Britons of Southern African decent and Black South Africans in Britain feel that their histories are hidden or are underrepresented in mainstream UK cultural heritage and that a dedicated venue would serve to redress this balance and contribute to the redress of imbalanced narratives across UK heritage as a whole. The development of the Centre of Memory and Learning and its programming will contribute to the redressing of this disparity and, through digital presence, will enable us to:
**1.** Foreground artists, civic and cultural participators and amplify narratives of resilience, transformation and action from and for marginalised backgrounds particularly young people, those from Black and ethnically diverse backgrounds and women.
**2.** Support the diversification of and access to an inclusive history of Britain and its peoples
**3.** Scaffold creative exchange around injustices, human rights and democratic principles.
**4.** Create meeting places to support transformation healing and action, in the physical centre and garden and across our digital spaces.
**5.** Expose contemporary resonances with anti-apartheid solidarity/apartheid injustice to draw attention to contemporary socio-political justice struggles.
**6.** Underline that social justice struggles the world over affect us all by virtue of shared humanity, encouraging social cohesion and dynamic transformation.
**7.** Recognise the important contribution of artists, young people and the marginalised to transformative praxis.
**8.** Create paid opportunities for artists and young people, offering skills and portfolio development, particularly for those from disenfranchised backgrounds, diversifying and upskilling Britain’s cultural heritage sector. London has a lack of opportunities that effectively bring these people from different ethnic backgrounds and different ages together in positive experiences. Black (African, Caribbean, British) Londoners are less likely to feel they have positive frequent contact with people of a different age (23%), different social class (8%) or different ethnicity (31%) to themselves compared to any other ethnic group apart from residents identifying as Asian or British Asian, with the exception of White British residents reporting positive contact with people of different ethnicities (26%). All programme is
23
designed to promote collaboration between peoples and drive participation in society to effect transformation, equality and justice.
As part of the crucial work to diversify curriculums and cultural heritage spaces we will be looking to develop the programming of the Centre in consultation with organisations focused on the amplification and centering of diverse histories including The Runnymede Trust, Young Historians Project, RerootED, The Nubian Jak Community Trust and The Africa Centre and alongside other community partners including London Borough of Islington’s Race Equality Network, Global Generation (working to create healthy, integrated, environmentally responsible and intergenerationally connected communities) Room to Heal (cultivating healing community to support people to rebuild their lives in exile and integrate into the UK), local artists run cooperative, Cubitt Artists . Furthermore, a key focus in the development of our programming will be to support schools to develop Anti-Racist agendas, whilst also supporting multicultural praxis.

## **Audiences and Communities**
Our audiences and communities are wide ranging, reflecting the interest in and need for crosssocietal engagement with issues pertaining to equalities, inclusion and social justice. Antiapartheid heritage and solidarity with the liberation struggle in South(ern) Africa sits within British and indeed global history’s narratives of action and struggle for equality, liberation and inclusion; contemporary resonances and invariant truths abound.
Using models of positive leadership from the breadth of the anti-apartheid struggle, the CML will inspire local young people to build skills, aspiration and leadership to support their progression through education and to employment. It will create tailored resources that augment opportunities for community/curricula /academic/historical learning as well as a programme that promotes community cohesion and healing. Drawing from a uniquely relevant past to foreground pressing international dialogue on issues such as institutional and systemic racism; community resilience; collaboration and activism against socio-political injustices; decolonising and diversifying curriculum; it will also have global resonance in highlighting the crucial efforts of a diverse group of people (gender, ethnicity, geography, heritage, politics and religion) towards effecting societal change.
Through permanent displays, archives, and a programme of co-curated temporary exhibitions, events, education, and community engagement that channel the legacy of one of the most powerful social histories of the 20[th] Century; it will empower marginalised communities - particularly migrants, international diaspora, and global majority peoples - to engage with and respond to this integral part of UK heritage. This will generate important community recovery in Islington and beyond.
Participation as methodology and method will run through all programming with a focus on positive leadership. This will include:
- Youth programmes designed to build skills, confidence, community connection, and positive activism.
- Family and elder programmes focusing on wellbeing and learning
25
- Schools outreach and onsite programmes that support the curricula and particularly seek to engage those falling behind
- Access to CML based workspace for micro-business and space for community groups and charities to meet and progress their activities/activism
- Opportunities for national and international conversations through our digital offer and platforming of arts and cultural responses to the heritage’s resonances.
Based on community consultation and research across partner and peer organisations we envisage 10,000+ engagements per year and 6,000 participatory experiences (including over 100 volunteering and work experience opportunities) each year.
The Trust would like to support and invite research possibilities around the resonances and impact (particularly in race, inclusion and contemporary social (in)justice) of the legacy of antiapartheid struggle to augment and scaffold discourse in these areas, through Collaborative Doctoral Awards and/or university student placements programmes and through creative praxis. Whilst academic research around the significance of the anti-apartheid movement in shaping the political landscape in Britain exists, the Trust would like to develop partnerships that support platforming of its cultural, creative and sociological impact since-apartheid heritage sends a clear message that solidarity, active citizenship, community, and cooperation are powerful forces for the continued transformation of our world into a more equal and fair society.
In particular, we seek to encourage close collaboration with contemporary artists, activists, organisers, and academics, with a focus on those who have lived experience of the themes that emerge from anti-apartheid heritage (including inequalities and injustice around age, race, gender, and socio-economics).

Dr Mabuza joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1975 and became a journalist for the ANC’s Radio Freedom, based in Lusaka. Her concern with women’s issues led to her involvement with Voice of the Women (VOW), the ANC’s feminist journal, which encouraged women to write poetry. She remains committed to advocacy for women’s rights and for the transformative power of the arts and cultural practices. “Poetry is part of the struggle. You use the armed struggle; you use political methods.... You recite a poem. It’s better than a three-hour speech. It gets to the heart of the matter. It moves people.” She has received numerous awards, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Durban-Westville (1993), and the Yari Yari Award for contributions to Human Rights and Literature from New York University (1997).
Chief Representative of the ANC in Scandinavia (1979-1987), Dr Mabuza was appointed Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1995 by President Mandela.

Elizabeth first came into contact with former South African activists while working at the Canon Collins Educational Trust under the leadership of Ethel De Keyser.
Elizabeth is a cultural-Historian and professional educationalist who has worked in various roles in secondary and Higher Education for over twenty years. An organizer of many conferences, a writer and publisher Elizabeth is steeped in academic pursuits. As a librarian and senior manager in a busy university library she is at the heart of 21[st] century study and research. Her latest venture has brought over twenty-five academics from around the globe in a new venture which will have wide-ranging impact on the academic field of historical studies. Elizabeth’s seminal book “ _The Politics of Race in Britain and South Africa: Black British Solidarity and the AntiApartheid Struggle_ ” (2017) shone a light on centuries old solidarity between the South African liberation struggle and support given by Black Britain as well as British Government relations with the Anti-Apartheid Movement.
As a founder Elizabeth is currently spearheading a young charity promoting literacy in Guyana, South America, based on similar activities in Alice, Eastern Cape, South Africa started when still a Master’s student. An extensive traveller to Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East lecturing and giving speeches, Elizabeth has formed networks along the way and her passion is joining people together to achieve shared vision and goals.
34
Elizabeth has been travelling to South Africa since 2005, returning many times to give talks and lectures, in the wake of an AUA-UK delegation tour in 2012, visiting over ten South African Higher Education institutions. Elizabeth has developed a passion for literacy and educational access to knowledge for young people from all backgrounds.
Her support for the Liliesleaf Trust UK-and the development of the Centre of Memory and Learning, aligns with her strongly held belief that the diverse narratives and histories of the international solidarity for political and democratic freedom for South Africa that emanated in the UK from diverse communities, should be captured, preserved and taught to successive generations. Demonstrating that historically the unity of peoples with a shared purpose is a powerful tool to fight injustices whether past, present and into the future.
## **Governance**
TLTU ‘s Board and Project Advisory Group (PAG) support the Trust’s Charitable Objectives and the development of the Centre of Memory and Learning through their wide ranging skill base which encompass financial advice (statistics, accounting, budgets, financial protocols), heritage (collections, archives, exhibitions research and curation), community engagement and empowerment, architecture, diplomacy, policy making and development, education, advocacy, charity and humanitarian work, local and national government, civil service, project management, activism and artistic practice (poetry, dance and creative writing).
The Board and PAG bring people together across a range of socio-cultural diversities and from the UK and South Africa and reflect the non-homogeneity of the antiapartheid movement. The Board and PAG meet at least quarterly. Whilst TLTU is still a young organization and, as the Centre of Memory and Learning is in development, operations are handled by the Project Director who liaises between the PAG and board. Operations pertaining to finances and budgets are managed by the Trustee with responsibility for financial protocol (Suresh Kamath) and decisions taken by the Board. Partnerships and programming are developed and facilitated by the Project Director in consultation with the Board and PAG.
As part of the growth plan for the Trust and the project, we will be establishing two further advisory groups (programming; exhibitions, education and events and community: design, advocacy and partnerships) that sit alongside the PAG in order to advance the development of the CML.
We will continue to work with our consultants, Counterculture LLP and Al-Jawad Pike to develop the design, fundraising strategy and policy writing for the project.

## **Statement of Financial Activities**
Our anti-fraud plans are built around robust financial controls. All financial processes are conducted within segregated frameworks; no one person is responsible for all aspects of the Trust’s finances, budgets or transactions. Records are kept of all incomes and expenditures and set against receipts, invoices and any supporting documentation (contracts and agreements). Bank statements and all accounts are reconciled on a regular basis and TLTU’s Trustees follow the guidance set out by the Charity Commission in regard to their legal duties and financial responsibilities (CC3 & CC26).
