TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The Trustees present their annual report for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.

Executive Summary

Established in 2020, the Centre for British Photography (UK registered charity number 1190955) presents an expansive overview of the diversity of photographic practices in Britain from a range of voices past and present. Its mission is to support all kinds of photographic practices in Britain and to provide platforms for these contributions that are educational, inclusive and inspiring for the benefit of all audiences. It has a particular focus on supporting the practices of women and emerging artists working in photography. It accomplishes these aims through community engagement, mentoring, grants, educational resources, exhibitions and events.

Following the end of the short-term lease at 49 Jermyn Street in January 2024, the reporting period was one of consolidation and transition. During 2024–25 the Trustees focused on sustaining visibility and public engagement through touring exhibitions, institutional partnerships, grants, education and research, while prioritising fundraising to secure a permanent home in London.

About the Centre for British Photography

The Centre for British Photography supports photographers working in Britain through exhibitions, events, grants, mentoring, education and research. It provides a platform for a range of voices in order to present an expansive overview of photography in Britain, past and present, and to address gaps in provision for artists, archives and public access.

History

The Centre for British Photography was founded in 2020 by Claire and James Hyman. The founders’ ethos has been to establish a public charity with ambitious national reach, governed by Trustees, that supports photographic practice in Britain and addresses gaps in long-term support for photographers and archives.

Objectives and Activities

The Charity's objectives are to promote and advance education in and appreciation of the Arts, in particular the art of photography, in particular but not exclusively by: the establishment and maintenance of an archive, collection and library of historical and contemporary photography, and; providing support to contemporary photography artists through the awarding of grants and commissions.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Mission

To support all kinds of photographic practices in Britain and to provide platforms for these contributions that are educational, inclusive and inspiring for the benefit of all audiences.

Vision

To celebrate photography in Britain in all its diversity; to raise awareness of British photography nationally and internationally; to support photographers through exhibitions, commissions and grants; to fund research and scholarship; and to address issues of legacy and the preservation of archives.

Values

Accessible, collaborative, curious, generous, inclusive and nurturing.

THE CENTRE FOR BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Strategic Position

The Trustees continue to identify gaps in the national provision for photography in Britain, including limited longterm support for archives, insufficient dedicated platforms focused solely on British photography, and a lack of funding opportunities to support photographers in bringing projects to completion.

Strategies for Achieving Objectives

During 2024–25 the Trustees prioritised sustaining public benefit without a permanent venue, developing the Touring Exhibition Programme, expanding grant-making activity, strengthening institutional partnerships, and fundraising towards a permanent home.

Main Achievements of the Charity

Despite operating without a permanent venue, the Centre continued to deliver exhibitions, grants, loans, education and research access on a national basis.

Exhibitions

CBP continued to deliver exhibitions through touring and institutional partnerships. Exhibitions curated or administered by the Centre were presented at partner institutions and accompanied by educational resources.

Loans to External Exhibitions

As part of its charitable objectives, CBP administers loans of photographic works to national and international institutions. These loans support public exhibitions and scholarly research.

During the reporting period, significant loans were made to Tate Britain for The 80s: Photographing Britain, and to Belfast Exposed for exhibitions dedicated to Arpita Shah and Jo Spence.

Touring Exhibition Programme

The Touring Exhibition Programme, launched in March 2024, continued to develop during 2024–25. The programme offers curated exhibitions, supported by interpretive texts and exhibition packs, to regional galleries and institutions.

Events

CBP continued to deliver talks, panels and educational events through partnerships with universities, fairs and cultural institutions.

Collaborations and Partnerships

The Centre continued to collaborate with national and regional partners to deliver exhibitions, education and public engagement.

Sponsorship

CBP continued to benefit from sponsorship relationships supporting exhibition production and delivery.

Archives and Collections

The Centre renewed its loan agreement with the Hyman Collection of British Photography, enabling research access to over 3,000 works by appointment.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Grants

Four Realisation Grants of £2,500 each were awarded during the year, totalling £10,000. Recipients were Ajamu X, Phillippa Klaiber & Michael Swann, Zula Rabikowska, and Almudena Romero.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The absence of a permanent physical venue remains the charity’s principal risk. This is mitigated through touring exhibitions, partnerships and digital engagement.

Governance and Management

The Centre for British Photography is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The Trustees meet regularly and oversee strategy and compliance. The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and under the terms of the constitution.

Financial Review

The charity received income during the year of £217,051 (2024: £155,891), the increase being primarily driven by the securing of a grant from the Dana & Albert R. Broccoli Charitable Foundation. Expenditure during the year was £163,094 (2024: £433,831). The decrease was due to higher costs in the previous year related to the write off and disposal of assets upon vacating its permanent premises, staff and other costs related to the running of the premises. At the reporting date the charity had £77,050 (2024: £23,093) net assets, all unrestricted for general purposes.

Reserves Policy

The charity has yet to formalise a reserves policy. Its immediate aim is to continue generating surpluses and increasing the current level of reserves. The trustees will look to formalise a reserves policy in the future.

Going Concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Centre for British Photography ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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 (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters 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 anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. General information

The charity is registered with the Charities Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, with charity number 1190955. The charity's registered office is 124 Finchley Road, London, NW3 5JS.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Centre for British Photography meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants and donations are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. Sale of art and other sales are included in the statement of financial activities at the date of sale. Donated goods received by the charity for resale are measured at fair value, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. Unsold goods are recorded as stock on the statement of financial position at the reporting date.

Page 10

THE CENTRE FOR BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost (or fair value in the case of donated stock) and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

2.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

Page 11

THE CENTRE FOR BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.10 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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 costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Mentorship includes professional development, promoting work, execution of books/exhibitions, help with building relationships within the photography community and beyond and future opportunities. The grants will help artists working in photography to help realise a project. In previous years, this was partially funded by restricted grants received by the charity, but as none were received during the current year, the Trustees designated funds to pay the current year grants.
