The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Judy Blame Charitable Trust is a registered charity constituted under a trust deed dated 22 July 2019, and registered as a charity 23 July 2019.
The power to appoint and remove Trustees is vested in the Trustees and exercised by deed. The number of Trustees shall be not less than three and in the event of their number falling below three, such additional Trustees or Trustee shall forthwith be appointed as shall be necessary to make their number up.
On agreeing to become a Trustee of the charity, the Trustees are thoroughly briefed by the existing Co-Trustees on the constitution of the Trust, the day-to-day management, responsibilities of the Trustees, the current objectives and future plans.
The Trustees are responsible for authorising grant payments, for ensuring all grants are made in pursuance of the objectives of the Trust and for ensuring the objectives of the Trust are met.
The Trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and confirm that, as far as is possible given the nature of the grant payments and locations to which they are made, arrangements have been established to mitigate those risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charity’s objects are to advance public education in and appreciation of the arts by:
-
a) Providing access to the artistic work of the late Judy Blame;
-
b) Providing developmental support, mentoring, scholarships and financial assistance to emerging designers and artists
In directing the activities of the charity the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in furtherance of these objectives grants have been provided as shown in the notes to the accounts.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trustees and other collaborators have continued to foster and monitor the steady interest in Judy Blame’s archive of work. Items from the archive such as clothes, jewellery and other accessories are borrowed for use in photo shoots and premieres amongst other activities which have been logged in and out and recorded. With a continued log of archive loans, the Trust can measure the interest in Judy Blame’s work, which every year continues to increase.
The Trust’s Archive Coordinator continues to oversee the process for loaning items, including cataloguing, tracking, item maintenance, and requesting donations for item loans. The Archive Coordinator also helps manage the Trust’s social media accounts spreading awareness of the Trust and its activities, and maintaining Judy’s legacy. The Trust has noticed a larger engagement throughout its social media page with an increase of followers and people within the creative industry sharing and engaging with the Trust’s posts.

The Trust continues to be committed to helping students, artists, and emerging talent with financial and educational support:
Glasgow School of Art – The Trust will continue the support of the Access Scholarship and Portfolio Preparation Bursaries programs until 2027. Two new recipients of the Portfolio Preparation Bursaries were selected by the school. The Access Scholarship students remains the same as previous year.
University of Westminster – The Trust has confirmed its continuation in sponsoring Photography Forum - A Public Talk Series, for the year 2025/26. This pre-programmed series at The Photographers’ Gallery works as free public lectures open to all, with several interesting artists who make or write about photography. They are invited to talk about their work as political gestures questioning the relationship between visual representation and political presence within socially orientated practice. This has continued to show great popularity and works on a variety of levels, offering an enriched curriculum for the University of Westminster students as well as promoting what they do through an opening of dialogue that is free and accessible. Trust Judy Blame logo is being used on all press releases and posters.
University of Westminster – The Trust has confirmed its support of the UoW Menswear Fashion MA (1 year) Scholarship. It will provide full tuition fees for one student during the course of the year. The scholarship is aimed at students from an underprivileged background, marginalised communities and LGBTQI+ who demonstrates exceptional potential in menswear design, embodying Judy’s vision of a more inclusive creative landscape. Applications have begun, with the recipient expected to be selected beginning of August 2025.
Moschino Fashion Show - A collaboration with the Trust and Moschino took place in the autumn of 2024 where a selection of Judy’s archive pieces were showcased in the Moschino Women’s Spring/Summer 25 Show in Milan. A T- shirt was also designed and produced, using of one of Judy’s necklaces as a trompe l’oeil print. The T-shirt is being sold on Moschino’s website and will be available until August 2026.

The festival was a six day event dedicated to sustainability, circular and regenerative fashion.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
APPOINTMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
During the period since the year end the Trustees appointed Blue Spire Limited as independent examiners. Blue Spire Limited have expressed their willingness to continue as examiners to the charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Judy Blame Charitable Trust
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General information, scope and basis of the financial statements
The Judy Blame Charitable Trust is an unincorporated charity constituted under a trust deed. The address of the principal office is given in the reference and administrative details section and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are given in the Trustees' report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
The charity does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.
Consolidation
The charity does not prepare consolidated accounts for the group on the basis it is not required to in respect of the year. More information on the group structure is provided in note 8.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income consist of interest received or receivable and accrued at the balance sheet date when material.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following expenditure headings:
● Charitable activities; these include grants to third parties and the costs of administering the charity inclusive of governance costs.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.
Support and governance costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and primarily associated with the constitution and statutory requirements.
VAT
The charity is registered for VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is accounted for within the expenditure category to which the underlying costs relate.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 521 to 536 Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted general funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for use in furtherance of the general objects of the charity without restriction.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 13 of these financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
