TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Grants that were awarded enabled a wide benefit to beneficiaries as well as society as a whole. For example:
-
A grant to Almeida Theatre’s Almeida Makers enabled them to support eight exceptional early and midcareer directors and designers each year who have the opportunity to learn from the world’s best artists as well as having ongoing access to the theatre for mentoring, community, and opportunities to showcase their own work. The Almeida exists to launch the next generation of British artists onto the world stage.
-
A grant to Brixton Chamber Orchestra allowed them to perform 11 free to attend concerts in estates and community spaces in South London to champion classical music to new audiences. They achieved a higher turnout than expected and reported that 50% of their audience were adults between 24-35 years and 40% of the audience were families. BCO actively engaged with audiences at each event for feedback and found 25% of the audience had not attended a live orchestral performance in the past. The programme also provided work for 24 professional musicians.
-
A grant to MK Gallery in Milton Keynes enabled the publication of a catalogue, which accompanied the largest solo exhibition to date of the work of Bloomsbury artist, Vanessa Bell (1879-1961). The 18 week exhibition received 15,114 ticketed visitors plus group visits by schools and under 21s. The Vanessa Bell publication was the most successful in the Gallery’s history. with 1605 copies sold to exhibition visitors.
-
A grant to National Life Stories’ Artists’ Lives and Crafts’ Lives programme supported three long-form life story recordings with important British artists, and five life story recordings with leading makers. The archive is unique internationally in the length and breadth of the content that is captured and the recordings assist the academic study of art and artists as well as preserving historically significant voices. The recorded interviews will be available to be accessed free of charge at the British Library via their Listening and Viewing service.
-
A grant to Birmingham Royal Ballet has funded two years of the talent development programme, BRB2 . The programme inspires excellence by helping dancers excel in the formative years of their professional careers and the programme provides a supportive structure to bridge the gap between training and joining a professional dance company. Both years of the programme will provide specialist mentoring and performance opportunities that are rare for young dancers starting out in their careers. Performances by BRB2 take place in towns and cities with limited access to world class dance.
-
A grant to the Natural History Museum supported the Jerwood Contemporary Arts Programme which connected audiences and artists to the natural world in one of the museum’s most prominent exhibition spaces, Jerwood Gallery. The River by Jana Winderen was the third exhibition in the programme and welcomed 609,000 visitors. Visitors to The River made up 21% of the Museum’s total visitors over the sixmonth period. 85% of their audience agreed that they ‘see the value of using Art as a medium to explain natural world-related issues or topics’. Highlights from the press coverage from The River included three national pieces, one in print, and two broadcast pieces with BBC news.
-
A grant awarded to Paintings in Hospitals allowed the charity to conserve, restore and digitise their collection; the only art collection in the world put together for the benefit of health and wellbeing. Since 1959 the collection has grown to hold over 3,000 artworks by over 1,000 world class artists. All types of health and community care organisations can borrow art from their collection including hospitals, hospices, care homes and GP surgeries. The grant, which covered a two-year period, allowed the charity to share more of their collection; protect and conserve significant pieces by celebrated artists. Alongside external conservation Paintings in Hospitals were able to recondition, reglaze and reframe over 100 artworks in house.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
- A grant awarded to Pentabus Theatre, Ludlow, supported their Jerwood Writer in Residence programme . Pentabus is the nation’s rural theatre company and the only rural touring company that is committed to producing new work that tours to communities across the UK and beyond.

Over the three-year grant period 60 Young Writers receive guidance and expertise in turn for the writer in residence.

There are therefore no material uncertainties about Jerwood Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Reserves policy
Jerwood Foundation is able to spend capital from its investment portfolios and income generated entirely without condition. The current strategic aim adopted by the Trustees is to maintain the original capital value of the portfolios so far as possible and not to deplete it for general funding purposes except in unusual circumstances .
The Trustees have agreed it is prudent to maintain reserves for the following reasons:
-
To ensure Jerwood Foundation has sufficient income and funds to meet existing and future commitments, notwithstanding any deterioration in financial markets.
-
To ensure Jerwood Foundation has sufficient funds to meet operational costs in those same circumstances, or due to other unexpected adverse events.
The balance of Jerwood Foundation investment portfolios as of 31 December 2024 amounted to £54,354,560.
On the basis of the balance of the portfolios and a policy of monitoring liabilities regularly it is the Trustees view that the reserves available are sufficient to fulfil their policy as set out above.
Total funds held by the charity at 31 December 2024 were £66,219,438, after deducting fixed assets held the level of free reserves was £1,932,022.

JERWOOD FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JERWOOD FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Jerwood Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

JERWOOD FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF JERWOOD FOUNDATION
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularites, including fraud
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also performed the following procedures:
-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.
-
Enquiry of entity staff in compliance functions to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
Reviewed income and expenditure to ensure classified to the appropriate fund.
-
Reviewed minutes of board meetings to ensure that all grants agreed in the year had been recognised in the financial statements.
-
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including thorough testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business for the charity.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Jerwood Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Countrywide House, 23 West Bar, Banbury, Oxfordshire, OX16 9SA, England.
1.1 Reporting period
The financial statements are presented for the year to 31 December 2024. In the prior year, the accounting period represents 9 months from 1 April 2023 to 31 December 2023 and so the comparative figures are not directly comparable. The reason for the prior period being short was to align year ends with Jerwood Charity ahead of the transfer detailed in note 3 of these financial statements.
1.2 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.3 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.4 Charitable funds
Unrestricted Funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects.
Designated Funds are amounts which have been put aside out of general unrestricted funds at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted Funds are those which are given for particular purposes as specified by their donors.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.5 Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has been or will be made such income is grossed up for the tax recoverable.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Investment income is accounted for when receivable and is stated gross of any reclaimable taxation relief
1.6 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. Staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Computers 2 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.8 Heritage assets
The Art Collection falls within the definition of 'Heritage Assets' under FRS 102 and the Charities SORP. Heritage assets are stated at cost or estimated market value if donated, unless a reliable estimate cannot be made/the cost of valuation is likely to exceed the benefits provided by the information, and are not subject to depreciation. Impairments in the carrying value of heritage assets are recognised if they have suffered physical deterioration or doubts arise as to their authenticity, The Art Collection is reviewed each year in order to assess whether any overall impairments are necessary.
1.9 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.10 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.12 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.13 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.14 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
Heritage assets
The Trustees do not consider the need for heritage assets to be valued every year and are, therefore, shown in the accounts at cost rather than valuation 2024: £9,931,601 (2023: £9,821,854).

Heritage assets held consist of a collection of artwork. It is intended to remain a living collection by acquiring further works where the opportunity arises and where they are consistent with the themes of the collection.
Such items are not depreciated or revalued as a matter of routine as the assets are deemed to have indeterminable lives and it is not practical to revalue them each year.
Items from the Collection are regularly loaned to museums and galleries for Exhibition purposes and images are available to view online.
The collection is actively managed by the Collection Manager who supervises all loans, monitors the condition of the paintings and arranges for their conservation where necessary.
These assets were brought into the financial statements at their insurance value (deemed cost) during year ended 31 March 2023, and subsequent additions to the Collection are included at cost.
