**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
Pipeline Projects exists to promote the arts for the public benefit through the operation of an inclusive community arts space in the heart of Mayfair. The charity is run by artists for the community and is committed to outreach, engagement, and accessibility. Its objects include:
- To advance the education of the public in the arts, particularly contemporary visual and performance arts, through exhibitions, workshops, talks, screenings, and other cultural programming.
- To promote social inclusion by creating opportunities for participation in the arts among underrepresented groups, including
women, people from historically marginalised ethnic backgrounds (BAME), Deaf and BSL users, and refugees. ● To foster community cohesion and cultural understanding by supporting collaborative projects that engage diverse audiences and encourage creative expression. ● To provide a platform for emerging and established artists to share their work and develop new practices within an open and accessible environment. **“One Westminster SEN Adults Eco Film Workshops”** : Pipeline Projects conducted workshops where adults with learning disabilities created short eco-themed films, promoting environmental awareness and providing participants with creative skills. These workshops were facilitated by artists and creatives within the organisation, emphasizing inclusivity and empowerment.

Section D Achievements and performance
Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
**Summary of the Main Achievements** In the reporting period, Pipeline Projects continued to deliver significant public benefit through a diverse programme of inclusive, community-focused arts and cultural activities. **1. Expanded Access to the Arts through Exhibitions and Events** Pipeline Projects successfully hosted a range of workshops, exhibitions, talks and screenings. Exhibitions such as _the Robert Blackburn community print studio retrospective_ and _Brian Enos Hard Art salon_ , AWITAS Frieze conference, and SEN adults print workshop from One Westminster. These provided a platform for emerging and underrepresented artists to present new work, engage with the public, and explore experimental modes of practice. These events attracted a wide demographic and strengthened the charity’s position as an inclusive cultural space in the heart of Mayfair. **2. Empowered Marginalised Voices through Targeted Outreach** The charity prioritised representation by programming events and workshops led by and focused on women, BAME communities, Deaf and BSL users, and refugees. These efforts ensured that artists from historically excluded groups were not only visible but central to the public conversation around contemporary arts and culture. We screened DEAF artist Louise Sterns SIGNS and help an exhibition. **3. Delivered Inclusive Creative Learning Opportunities** The **Eco Film Workshop** offered adults with learning disabilities the opportunity to participate in environmentally focused filmmaking and print workshops. Led by skilled artists and facilitators, the workshop built confidence, developed creative skills, and promoted environmental literacy, with final films shared in a community screening setting.These workshop artworks will be animated into a film with Orlando Bloom. **4. Strengthened Community Engagement and Volunteerism** Pipeline Projects created meaningful volunteering roles, including creative and technical positions such as film editing and exhibition support. This expanded the charity’s impact, fostered new skills among participants, and deepened the sense of community ownership over the space and its programmes. **5. Nurtured Cross-Cultural Dialogue** Collaborations with groups such as the Afghan Society brought underrepresented cultural histories to a wider audience. These events fostered cross-cultural understanding and enriched the wider programme with global perspectives on resilience, art, and identity.
**Section E Financial review**
Pipeline Projects does not currently have any unrestricted funds, either **Brief statement of the** general or designated, since the charity is in the process of applying for **charity’s policy on reserves** several grants but has not received sufficient income yet. If any of those grants are unrestricted, in the first instance between15% and 50% will be used to reimburse the charity manager who has paid certain costs such as service charges and insurance costs from her own personal funds. Pipeline Projects does not hold any fixed assets, social investments or designated funds so does not need to deduct those from unrestricted funds when they become available. Given the current financial situation, Pipeline Projects does not hold any reserves at this stage. Once unrestricted grants are received in excess of expenditure the situation will be reassessed to determine whether any excess unrestricted funds should be retained as reserves, set as a target amount or a target range. There was a small deficit on unrestricted funds of £1.8k at 31[st] April 2025 **Details of any funds materially** but this is expected to be eliminated once grants and other income are **in deficit** received during 2025/2026
