Trustees’ Report

Structure, governance and management

Trustees are appointed by invitation, potential trustees being approached by the board on the basis of their qualifications for furthering A+C’s objectives. The names of the trustees are set out on page 5.

A+C’s governing body is a board of Trustees which meets approximately every three months. At each meeting, the Director reports to the Trustees on her activities in furthering the aims and objectives of A+C. Individual or small groups of Trustees may also work on specific A+C projects approved by the board; again, these projects are reviewed by the board at their regular meetings. The board may from time to time approve grants to individuals, for example for attendance at conferences. Where Trustees are beneficiaries of such grants these are approved by a majority of Trustees not benefiting from such grants, and only on such terms as are given to non-Trustees.

A+C also has a number of Advisers, whose role is to act as ambassadors for A+C and to assist in projects and events where they are able.

Periodically the Trustees review the risks faced by A+C. The main risk faced by the Trust is financial. The Trustees control this risk by ensuring that the cost of specific A+C projects will be covered out of specific funding. Where fundraising requests are made for specific projects any grants received are allocated to those projects. Any surplus for the year in A+C’s general funds is carried forward to meet future administrative or project costs. In order to give a reasonable amount of assurance to A+C’s employees, the trustees aim to have reserves or committed funding in place to cover the next three months’ costs.

A+C holds policies relating to equalities, safeguarding and data protection which are available upon request.

Aims and objectives

The Trust’s aims and objectives, as set out in its constitution, are as follows:

  1. To advance religion, by promoting Christian formation through engagement with works of visual art — works of art that foster greater Christian self-understanding, as well as those that facilitate encounters between Christians and those of other religious traditions and none.

  2. To advance the arts, by the presentation and promotion of arts, crafts and traditional skills in the field of religious art and heritage; and

  3. To advance education by organising seminars, conferences and other events to increase public knowledge and understanding of religious tradition (particularly, but not exclusively, the Christian tradition) through art.

In furtherance of those aims, the Trust focuses on the following objectives, as made explicit in its vision and mission statements:

Art and Christianity seeks to foster and explore the dialogue between art, Christianity and other religious faiths. Through events, publications and consultation, A+C offers

Achievements and performance

Education & events

The ‘Faith on Film’ programme of events which had begun in Autumn 2021 continued in January with an online screening of Ama Hubo by the South African artist Buhlebezwe Siwani with a response by the California-based scholar Joel Cabrita. In February, Sandy Nairne gave a lecture on the work of Bill Viola for St Paul’s Cathedral and in March, the programme concluded with a longer format event held at Cowcross Street with two speakers: Jolyon Mitchell and Sheona Beaumont, with responses from Michael Berkowitz and Mark Dean.

In April, A+C trustee, Ayla Lepine, gave a tour within the National Gallery offered exclusively to members. Ayla’s position as the Art and Religion Research Fellow afforded a rare opportunity for insight and engagement with a number of key works in the collection. Another trustee, Alison Milbank, led a walking tour of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on 14 May, an initiative to attract members who live in more northerly parts of the country.

In June, the 2021 winner of the A+C Book Award, Alec Hamilton, author of Arts & Crafts Churches , gave a lecture at Campion Hall – noted for its Chapel designed by Edwin Lutyens. Attendees enjoyed drinks in the Hall’s gardens afterwards and the afternoon had also provided an opportunity for members of A+C’s Support Circle to meet Jim Harris, Ashmolean’s teaching curator, and witness drawings and handle objects at close proximity.

In July, members were also invited to join A+C Director, Laura Moffatt, for a tour of contemporary art in London churches. The group were welcomed by the artist Pauline Caulfield at the end of the tour for drinks and refreshments at her home/studio.

Over the weekend of 16-18 September, A+C held a weekend retreat in Northumberland. Starting at Hexham Abbey on the Friday afternoon, attendees heard Stephanie Burette lecture on the Abbey’s outstanding features such as its rood screen and painted panels. Dinner in the Abbey provided an atmospheric setting for guests to meet one another. Saturday took the group to a number of interesting medieval churches guided by Bishop Stephen Platten. In the afternoon the group spent some time at Kielder Water with the artist Dan Drage culminating in a visit to the Park’s James Turrell’s Skyspace at dusk. Sunday’s visits to Bamburgh Church and Holy Island included short talks from the Vicar of St Mary’s Church, Lindisfarne and a walk along the pilgrim way-finder poles at low tide.

In November, A+C began a new programme of events under the title ‘Water and Light’ and continued themes explored on the weekend retreat. The first event was a special tour to the Houses of Parliament to view New Dawn by the artist Mary Branson. After the viewing in Portcullis House, Mary gave the group a talk about her work which has often referenced water and light and has also been exhibited in churches and cathedrals.

Later that month, A+C held an event called ‘The Art of Baptism’ at which the theologian Chris Irvine presented a survey of baptismal settings and fonts and the changing contexts which influenced their design. William Pye also gave a talk about his work which most notably brought him to make the font for Salisbury Cathedral. Our trustee, Novelette-Aldoni Stewart chaired the evening’s proceedings.

inflected by her Catholic Irish upbringing; and with Samson Kambalu, whose sculpture Antelope became the 14[th] commission for the Fourth Plinth. Marking the life of Queen Elizabeth II, Susanna Avery-Quash wrote about the online exhibition ‘Fit for a Queen’ and Anna Svendsen drew on the complexity of David Jones’ Vexilla Regis , a work that yields persistent images of redemption and flourishing.

Highlights in other issues included reviews of the Venice Biennale, Derek Jarman at Manchester Art Gallery,‘Tudors’ at Liverpool’s Walker, Jacob Epstein at Coventry Cathedral and Carolee Schneeman at the Barbican.

We have continued to publish the ‘Spotlight on art’ column with articles that have focussed on Cornelia Parker’s Thirty Pieces of Silver and Otto Dix’s War . Articles on new commissions in churches have covered Charles Gurrey’s Hanging Rood, Marcus Cornish’s St Gabriel and Thomas Denny’s Windows of Light . Obituaries and tributes were made to Richard McLaren (A+C’s former Chair of trustees), Brian Catling and Patrick Reyntiens.

Publications

A+C has secured a publisher, Brepols, for its collection of essays ‘Visual Communion: the art, architecture and craft of the Eucharist’. Essays from the symposia in 2018-19 will feature alongside newly commissioned essays and short texts that spotlight individual works of exceptional interest.

A+C is also working Lund Hmphries to develop a book that covers the last 100 years of art in British churches.

Art in Churches

A+C continued to develop a proposal to exhibit film works by the South African artist Mohau Modisakeng at Coventry, Portsmouth and Bristol Cathedrals and submitted a second application to the Arts Council in September following a successful ‘expression of interest’. The application was not successful so A+C has refocussed its attention on developing a different project.

A+C Support Circle

Benefactors and Patrons have supported A+C with consistency and, in some cases, with increased generosity. The director and trustees continue to identify individuals who might be willing to join the Support Circle.

A+C business planning and strategy

The Director and trustees worked with consultant Jo Taylor (whose fees were generously covered by a donor) to draft and consolidate a new 3-year business plan together with a detailed budget for 2023.

Notes to the accounts for the 12 months ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies

(a) Basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 and applicable accounting standards, including the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities (“SORP 2015”). There have been no changes to the basis of accounting since the previous accounting period.

The trustees have prepared these accounts on a going concern basis being confident that the charity will be able to continue to access grants and other income for the foreseeable future. Budgets for 2022 have been prepared and cash flow is kept under close scrutiny.

(b) Accruals basis

The accruals basis of accounting has been adopted so that expenses and income are recognised in the accounting period to which they relate. Where a donation has been made towards a specific cost or event which occurs in a subsequent accounting period, an appropriate proportion of that donation is held over until the cost is incurred. Contributions towards general running costs are recognised when they are received.

(c) Membership subscription income

Membership subscription revenues, which are received annually in advance, are taken to income over the life of the membership. The amount which relates to future membership is held within balance sheet creditors.

(d) Allocation of staff costs

Staff costs are allocated to individual events or projects in proportion to the amount of time spent. The allocation of staff costs is shown in note 9.

(e) Allocation of other costs

General running costs such as rent and office costs are allocated evenly to the different charitable activities of the trust.

(f) Fixed assets

Fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life. Assets costing less than £1,000 are written off in full as an expense in the year of acquisition.

3 Membership subscriptions

4 Income from A+C activities

All the income shown under this heading in the Statement of Financial Activities is in relation to activities in furtherance of A+C’s objects – rather than activities specifically designed for raising funds. Such activities fall into three catergories:

a) Where possible and appropriate, A+C charges admission fees for the lectures, workshops and conferences which it organises.

b) A+C charges a non-refundable entrance fee in respect of the A+C awards as a contribution towards the cost of administering the awards. These awards didn't take place in 2022.

c) A+C receives income from the sale of advertising space in the Art and Christianity journal

d) A+C receives small amounts of sales revenues from various sources:

5 Cost of generating voluntary income

The amounts shown as the costs of generating funds (£3,950) represents principally the allocation of staff (£1,063- note 9) and other management costs (£2,888- note 7) relating to the time spent researching and writing to grant-making bodies, and in respect of administering the database of A+C membership. In 2022 £2164 was spent on fundraising direct costs, hence the increase compared to 2021.

(b) Art in Churches

The A+C Art in Churches project is designed to promote art and exhibitions in churches by facilitating contact between artists and churches, enabling works of art to be exhibited temporarily or permanently. The Trust also oversees the development into broader strategies like touring exhibitions, community engagement and formulating a network of faith groups and organisations.

As can be seen from the above analysis a certain proportion of core costs, representing a small proportion of the time spent by the manager on the Art in Churches part of A+C, has been allocated against Art in Churches in 2021. This means that, in 2021, of the £7,131 of staff costs and other core costs allocated, a total of £916 has been set against restricted funds. (see note 11 for details).

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Art & Christianity

I report on the financial statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) for the period ended 31[st] December 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The CIO’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Certified Accountants

Having satisfied myself that the CIO is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the CIO’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the CIO’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the CIO and the CIO’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

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

Independent examiner’s statement

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