## **Almas Art Foundation Trustees Report** 

International audiences were exposed to these resonant art practices, films and critical writing, launched in multiple locations such as Nairobi, Cape Town, London and New York. The documentaries and publications continue to be available to the public digitally and free of charge. 

Almas Art foundation continues to support the art ecosystem; the environments where artists and other creative practitioners develop and produce through meaningful collaborations with writers, curators, artist residencies and art organisations. These collaborations included:

- First Artist Residency agreed with 32 Degrees East, Kampala, Uganda for 2025

## **ARTISTS FEATURED** 

## **ANDILE DYALVANE** 


Andile Dyalvane is guided by a deep spiritual connection to his Xhosa ancestors. His medium of clay or “umhlaba” (mother earth) is, at its most fundamental, a life-affirming connection to the soil. Dyalvane completed a National Diploma in Art and Design at Sivuyile Technical College in Gugulethu, Cape Town, followed by a National Diploma in Ceramic Design from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in 2003. In 2005, he and Zizipho Poswa co-founded Imiso Ceramics. He has developed a language of incision marks 

## **RICHARD KIMATHI** 

Born 1971 in Nyeri, Richard Kamathi studied Graphic Arts at the Nairobi Creative Art Centre. In 1996, he joined the artists’ incubator Kuona Trust studios. Kimathi’s work represents the human tendencies, how we feel and behave in political and social situations. He reflects on issues around fatherhood and male suicides. Kimathi has represented Kenya at Dak’Art in Senegal and has had some international exposure.

**Almas Art Foundation Trustees Report** 

## **ERMIAS EKUBE** 

**Ermias Ekube** (b. 1970, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) studied at the Alle School of Fine arts and Design, Addis Ababa, graduating in 1990. He is an artist of Eritrean descent and has lived in Addis, Asmara, and Nairobi before moving to Kalmar, Sweden. Merging figurative and conceptual strands, Ekube’s work draws on thoughts and memories to imbue stories with meaning via simple objects, signs and gestures.

Baloji, Augure – Infinite Trolling, 2024, produced by Almas Art Foundation and Defise Foundation. 

## **Key Contributions to Documentations and Archiving of Artworks** 

- We researched and tracked photographic documentation and details of artworks produced by Richard Kimathi in his career spanning three decades. A highlight was discovering that neither the artist nor their gallery had any documentation of his artwork that had been published as a UN stamp other than the stamp itself. We continue to iterate to artists the importance of documentation. 


- We were able to locate and bring artworks from Ethiopia, which Ermias Ekube had to leave behind upon his displacement to Eritrea. These artworks including a portrait of the artist’s mother are now with Ermias Ekube’s gallery and might have been lost to the artist if not for Almas Art Foundation’s resources and efforts.

## **Trustees Report** 



- We were able to locate portrait drawings on cardboard by Ermias Ekube of artists working in the Kuona Arts Trust at the time of Ermias Ekube’s brief stay in Nairobi. This is an important documentation of the artist’s work lost to him, important documentation regarding the history of Kuona Arts Trust and the collective of artists who have gone on to become key figures. 

## **Looking forward to 2025** 

- Almas Art Foundation is looking forward to moving to its new premises in 2025 at Arch 28, Old Union Yards, 229 Union Street, London, SE1 0LR.  This will mark a new chapter for Almas Art Foundation with a dedicated exhibition space to expand its audience reach. 

- Almas Art Foundation will dedicate it 2025 programmes to documenting and presenting the incredible depth of arts and culture of Sudan.  Since the successful workshop with Dr Larissa Fuhrmann, Dr Rashid Diab, Yafil Mubarak, we have been busy structuring the year’s long programme to celebrate and present Sudanese arts. We have secured permission from the Arab League to translate and print in English Dr Diab’s book covering Sudanese arts from 1940 to 2004. The book will be launched with an exhibition of Sudanese pioneers including Ibrahim El Salahi, Kamala Ibrahim Ishag, Ahmed Shibrain and their peers in June. This will be followed by further publications and exhibitions that will present further generations and contemporary artist from Sudan.

**Almas Art Foundation Trustees Report** 

## **Financial review** 

## **Results for the period** 

The results for the period are shown in the statement of the financial activities on page 14. 

The main source of income is donations and related gift aid.  During the period, the Charity received donations totalling of £231,375 (2023: £447,621). This significant variance is primarily attributable to a £115,000 donation received on 27 December 2023. Although this donation was recorded in the 2023 accounts, it was largely designated for activities taking place in 2024. 

The amount spent on charitable activities totalled £312,963 (2023: £276,911). The result for the period ended 31 December 2024 was a deficit of £66,591 (2023: surplus of £176,762). 

As at 31 December 2024, the balance of the unrestricted funds was £135,393 (2023: £201,984) and restricted funds was £Nil (2023: Nil). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed by the Trustees at least annually. The Trustees believe that the charity should target to hold unrestricted financial reserves equivalent to a minimum of three months operating costs.  This is in the region of £70,000. 

As at 31 December 2024, the charity’s free reserves were £135,393. This is comfortably above the reserve policy stated above.

**Almas Art Foundation Independent Examiner’s Report** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Almas Art Foundation** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 13. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Chartered Institute of Certified Accountants. 

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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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.

**Almas Art Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2024** 

## **1) Accounting Policies** 

## **(a)  General information and basis of preparation of financial statements** 

Almas Art Foundation (“the Charity”) is a company limited by guarantee not having share capital and is incorporated in England and Wales. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity. The company registration number is 12990359 and the Charity Registration number is 1195449. Its registered office and principal place of business is Somerset House Strand, S62, London, WC2R 1LA. 

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 (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Account Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or in the notes of the accounts. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

## **(b)  Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement** 

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates/ It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company’s accounting policies. 

The following accounting policies have been applied: 

## **(c)  Assessment of going concern** 

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The Trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of at least 12months from the date of approval of these accounts. 

The Trustees of the Charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. 

## **(d)  Cash flow statement** 

The financial statements do not include a cash flow statement because the Charity, as a small reporting entity, is exempt from the requirement to produce a statement under Accounting and Reporting by charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charites SORP (FRS 102)). 

## **(e)  Income** 

Income is recognised in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that income will be received. Where income relates to future periods, this income will be deferred. Grants and donations received for the general purposes of the charitable company are included as unrestricted funds, grants and donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to restricted funds. 

## **(f) Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to make payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in the settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is included in the accounts on an accrual basis and included attributable VAT, which cannot be recovered.

**Almas Art Foundation Notes to the Financial Statements as at 31 December 2024** 

## **(g)  Debtors and prepayments** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discounts and less any provisions for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts. 

## **(h)  Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

## **(i) Stocks – Change in Accounting policy** 

Stocks are now stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.  Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition.  Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula.  Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slowmoving stock where appropriate.  This represents a change in accounting policy during the year; previously all costs associated with book production were written off as incurred. 

## **(j) 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 

## **(k) Tax** 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

The charity is not registered for VAT purposes. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
