Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
Our charity's purpose, as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association, were updated in 2023 by adding a new charitable object to reflect our physical museum and archives and are:
-
to establish and maintain a museum for the conservation and exhibition of art, artefacts, documents and other material relating in particular (but not exclusively) to women in photography, including the collection, storage, research and conservation of all such material;
-
to advance art for the general public, particularly (but not exclusively) in photography and the visual arts, in particular by the exhibition and promotion of, and creating access to, women in photography; and
-
to advance the education of the general public, by increasing the public’s knowledge and understanding of photography and in doing so to promote the highest standards of achievement in photography in order to encourage public knowledge and appreciation of photography, in particular (but not exclusively) the contribution of women in photography.
Exhibitions and Installations
Dorothy Wilding: 130 Photographs (8 March – 8 July 2023)
Hundred Heroines marked International Women’s Day in 2023 by celebrating the life of Dorothy Wilding (1893 - 1976) with the first exhibition of her work in Gloucester, the city where she was born. A portrait photographer whose subjects included iconic film-stars and celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s, Wilding was the first woman appointed as an official royal photographer, and her famous portrait of the newly ascended Queen Elizabeth II featured on postage stamps in Britain and Canada. In collaboration with JOLT Studios and Sisters of the Lens (in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery), the exhibition comprised some of Dorothy’s most celebrated portraits reprinted in a contemporary style, alongside smaller original prints and ephemera featuring Dorothy’s work, including books, magazines, coins, and stamps. It showcased images of some of Dorothy’s famous sitters, including Tallulah Bankhead, Cecil Beaton, Noël Coward, and Vivien Leigh. Other later works taken in her New York studio included portraits of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and new stars of the 1950s, Yul Brynner and Harry Belafonte. Almost 30,000 (28,654) people visited the exhibition and, due to demand, it was extended by two months from its original intended closing date in May. The exhibition and related programming were made possible through the generous support of the Ampersand Foundation and the Association of Independent Museums’ ‘New Stories New Audiences’ grant scheme, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Divine Power: Mortals, Myths & Deities (18 August – 19 November 2023) This exhibition featured works by a contemporary photographer, Nandini Valli Muthiah, and photographer from the 1930s, Yevonde Philone Middleton (known as Yevonde). Divine Power: Mortals, Myths & Deities explored ongoing fascination with mythology and deities, and examined interesting questions raised about the reception of ‘classical’ mythology. Nandini offered a selection from her series Remembering to Forget (2008-11), The Definitive Reincarnate (2003/6) and The Visitor (2010), whilst the works by Yevonde were mainly from her famous Goddesses series along with some of her other iconic images. It was held across two venues in Gloucester’s Eastgate shopping centre, the Hundred Heroines Museum and a pop-up gallery in an empty retail space, with the assistance of Sisters of the Lens.
Knife Rose (February 2023)
With the support of the Stronger, Safer Gloucester Partnership, Hundred Heroines acquired a Bertlmann Knife Rose for its collection. To coincide with the arrival in Gloucester on 1st February 2023 of the Knife Angel (the National Monument for Serious Violence), the Knife Rose was unveiled at the Eastgate Centre on that date as the focal point of our participation in Gloucester’s anti-violence campaign and in the programming of events that formed part of the campaign’s legacy. The artwork was created by internationally acclaimed artist, Renate Bertlmann, as part of her 2019 installation in the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Discordo Ergo Sum: Knife Rose is made of red Murano glass where the flower’s pistil is replaced by a razor-sharp blade representing the juxtaposition of “beauty and pain, power and weakness, vulnerability and attack” (Renate Bertlmann, 2019).

artworks in the form of visual responses by visitors to the exhibitions and collection.
The Collection
At the end of 2021, Hundred Heroines began collecting objects, prints and ephemera for the Heroines Collection that forms the core of our museum. Each object in the collection relates to an artist’s practice in some way, and the stories attaching to the objects provide an invaluable insight into the work of the Heroines featured. From a birdcage salvaged from a skip to antique silk pyjamas, each item is imbued with meaning and recounts the story of the related artwork. The collection provides a unique pathway to understanding the work of some of today’s most outstanding women artists.
The Archive
In 2022, the executors of the Elisabeth Buchmeyer-Lewis estate gifted to Hundred Heroines the entire archive from Elisabeth’s life and work spanning a period of 50 years: approximately 3 dozen boxes containing hundreds of photographs, negatives, papers, ephemera and mixed media artefacts. This bequest has now been accessioned into our collection, and selected prints and objects from her archive are exhibited at the museum alongside the collection.
In 2023, Hundred Heroines received custodianship of the archive of Felicia Cronin. We came to know Felicia as an executrix of the estate of Elisabeth Buchmeyer-Lewis, and subsequently discovered that she is also a photographer. Felicia and Elisabeth first met when they shared a studio while Elisabeth teaching in the Photography Department at Wimbledon School of Art, and they remained good friends until Elisabeth’s death in 2018. Described by the late retail entrepreneur Rodney Fitch as a “Design Conscious” photographer, Felicia’s work reflects the design mood that was popular in the 1960s and beyond – from the manicure bar in Harrods to found, random abstracts. Felicia’s archive beautifully represents this important era in design and architecture.
Events
Gloucester Lates (March to May 2023)
This was a 10-week programme running alongside Dorothy Wilding: 130 Photographs. Created by Hundred Heroines in collaboration with JOLT Studios, Gloucester Lates comprised a series of weekly workshops by young people for young people at a pop-up space in the Eastgate shopping centre. Workshops offered opportunities for young people to connect with each other and explore their creativity in a relaxed informal setting. From exploring emotional expression through photography to creating a 1920’s headdress; from an introduction to monotype printing to the art of posing before the camera, the workshops aimed to build confidence and encourage self-expression.
Knife Angel (February 2023)
Hundred Heroines hosted a number of initiatives designed to highlight gender-based violence, during and beyond the Knife Angel’s presence in Gloucester in February 2023. To encourage responses to the Angel through images and words, we ran a photography competition for the best images of the Knife Angel, and held Flash Fiction Fridays using images of the Knife Angel and Knife Rose as prompts for creative writing. In the Creative Canvas space at the Eastgate centre, we created a special display to raise awareness of male violence against women and girls. During Gloucester’s ‘Purple for Hollie’ campaign, we began creating a Garden of Positivity dedicated to Hollie Gazzard, who was murdered by her ex-partner in February 2014 at her place of work in Gloucester. During weekends in February, we provided materials and templates for children to make works inspired by angels and roses for the garden. It became a permanent feature of the anti-violence display and was planned to grow with art representing acts of kindness. Hundred Heroines was awarded a Certificate of Achievement by the City of Gloucester for our commitment to raising awareness during the Knife Angel’s presence.
Divine Power: Mortals, Myths & Deities (August – November 2023)
During the exhibition, a programme of activities was held in the gallery to encourage young people to improve their “looking and seeing” skills.
Glostorama (from November 2021)
Glostorama is an ongoing community-based participatory photography project for the people of Gloucester. HH provides prompts, workshops, and talks to get people on their own personal photography routes. The images are added to an online living archive for the future and, once there is an image from every street in Gloucester, the intention is to hold an exhibition showcasing the city in the 2020s. As well as views of the city’s streets, Glostorama is growing to include an eclectic mix of urban details, landscapes, people, local wildlife, and anything else people are inspired to photograph.

Workshops
Women in Rail (from November 2022 – March 2023)
Funded by Great Western Railway (GWR) Community Fund, this two-part programme was designed to improve participants’ photography skills, help them see things from a different perspective, understand more about contemporary art and – using an arts-based methodology – highlight the importance of women in the rail industry, past and present. Part 1 (November and December 2022) focused on the transformational powers of art and development of the artistic eye, and offered the opportunity to try different creative activities, from photography to collage. It included field trips within the GWR network (for example, guided visits to the V&A, independent galleries, and major exhibitions).
Starting in early 2023, part 2 comprised a series of practical workshops, where participants received support and training in technical photographic skills, which included in-person workshops with renowned photographers Jillian Edelstein and Laura El-Tantawy. Participants then photographed women working within GWR and their resulting images were exhibited on a large scale in local railway stations on the GWR network as well as in an exhibition at the Eastgate Centre.
Great Train Tapestry (starting October 2023)
Following on from the Women in Rail project, The Great rain Tapestry is an initial series of exploratory workshops led by international artist Lisl Ponger, followed by a series of workshops where a large, contemporary textile artwork is made. The artwork will then be exhibited in 2024.
Youth programme and schools
Hundred Heroines arranged a number of dedicated visits with themed activities for pupils from local schools in Gloucester to its museum and gallery spaces at the Eastgate centre. Two volunteers ran the Messy Arts Club at Kingsholm primary school, bringing free materials for guided art-making sessions with years 3 and 4 students. At weekends, we provided space and free art materials at the Eastgate centre for children (with their guardians) to explore and express their creativity using guided prompts and templates. We also assisted two young volunteers in working towards their Duke of Edinburgh awards.
Art and Activism
Art & Activism was a programme which ran through July and August 2023 in the school holidays and then at weekends during term-time. It offered a safe space for teenage girls to discuss issues that matter to them and to express their feelings through photography and creativity. We are grateful to the Canon Young People Programme for providing cameras for the girls’ use.
Archive Activists
This initiative overlapped with the Art & Activism programme and provided participants access to our archive and training on handling the materials.
We are grateful of the Rowlands Trust and The Sylvia Waddilove Foundation for their support of our youth programme.
How our activities deliver public benefit
The trustees refer to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its activities. We continuously strive to improve the accessibility of our resources, and to provide new ways of accessing the visual arts, particularly for people who may not engage regularly with galleries or museums. Our belief in the value of education inspires what we do: we believe that art is for everyone, and that a more detailed understanding of the work we promote is beneficial to artists and audiences alike.
Contributions of our volunteers
Hundred Heroines could not exist without the volunteers who help run the museum and explore the archive, and we are immensely grateful to them. We continue to run a flexible programme for volunteer writers to contribute articles, reviews, and blogs for the website. We also run dedicated volunteer sessions to introduce women and girls to the exciting detective work involved in interrogating an archive.
Achievements and performance
Hundred Heroines provides a varied artistic programme with creative, social, and educational activities and opportunities for the public benefit, which we have found to be especially empowering for young women. We continuously strive to improve the accessibility of our resources, and to provide new ways of accessing the visual arts, particularly for people who may not engage

Trustees' Report
regularly with galleries or museums. The visitor numbers to our Dorothy Wilding exhibition at the Hundred Heroines Museum and pop-up space in Gloucester’s Eastgate shopping centre are testament to this approach. In addition, our growing online archive of images, articles and exhibition reviews provides an invaluable resource for the public benefit by increasing understanding and appreciation of the contribution of women to the visual arts, particularly photography.
Financial review
The trustees are satisfied with the progress the charity made during the year. In a very challenging climate for arts funding, we delivered an excellent programme of exhibitions and related activities. Due to an increase in grant funding, we were able to continue to offer access to all exhibitions, events, workshops, and activities free of charge.
Reserves policy
The aim of the reserves policy is to ensure the charity and its activities are reasonably protected from unexpected financial risks, ensure cashflow, and provide resources for possible future opportunities.
Taking account of current risks and the need to continue to generate income while the organisation undergoes a period of significant change, the trustees take the view that the charity retain expendable capital in the range four months of running costs excluding programme activity. As at the end of the period, this amounted to £20,500. Although reserves are slightly lower than this at £16,769, the increase from last year's £368 is a significant improvement and an indicator that we are heading towards our reserves goal.
Structure, governance and management
Hundred Heroines is a charitable company limited by guarantee (no.12318478), incorporated on 18 November 2019, and registered as a charity on 7 July 2020 (no.1190277). The company was established under a Memorandum and Articles of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
The directors of the company are also trustees for the purposes of charity law - they give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Given the small size of the organisation and its financial position, the trustees are responsible both for the development of strategy and day-to-day running of the charity, with the support of a small staff and volunteers. They have developed appropriate policies for volunteer management, safeguarding, conflicts of interest, complaints handling, and payment of staff, and subscribe to the Code of Fundraising Practice.
Hundred Heroines identifies and recruits trustees based on the combination of skills, experience and competencies required to deliver the aims and objectives of the charity. New trustees are issued with Charity Commission and NCVO guidance on the duties and responsibilities of the role of a trustee, and provided wit specific training as required.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Unrestricted funds include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at market values.
Restricted income funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
Incoming resources

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.
Contractual income and performance related grants are only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.

Heritage assets not recognised on the balance sheet
Most of the heritage assets held in the museum collection are not recognised on the balance sheet because a reliable value for these assets can not be established. These assets comprise photographic artworks, archives, and artists’ artefacts.
It is not obtain a valuation of these heritage assets because either , there is insufficient information about the photographer or the work to determine a value or, although the monetary worth is negligible, the contribution to social historical value is significant.
