TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the period 29 January 2024 to 30 September 2024.

Objectives and activities

l Policies and objectives

To advance such charitable purposes (according to the laws of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time, in particular but not limited to providing relief and assistance to people in need who are victims of war, natural disaster, catastrophe or are affected by climate change and environmental emergencies for the public benefit by providing grants and donations to organisations and registered charities (or equivalent) across the world.

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)'.

l Strategies for achieving objectives

In 2024, Migrate Art continued its core mission of collaborating with internationally recognised artists to raise funds and distribute grants to registered charities and grassroots organisations. The charity uses contemporary art as a means to engage the public with urgent humanitarian and environmental issues. By leveraging the communicative power of art, Migrate Art aims to reach a broad audience, encouraging dialogue and awareness around complex global challenges. This approach not only fosters public understanding but also serves as an effective tool for fundraising and charitable giving.

l Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

In 2024, Migrate Art delivered two major projects aligned with the charity’s objectives of raising funds and awareness for humanitarian and environmental causes through contemporary art.

From the Ashes

From the Ashes was a fundraising initiative featuring new artworks by 33 international artists. All works were created using ash collected from the burned Amazon rainforest, drawing attention to the ongoing threats faced by Indigenous communities in the region. The project aimed to raise both awareness and financial support for these communities. The artworks were exhibited at a temporary gallery space in central London, accompanied by a public programme including artist talks and community events. The project raised a total of £262,000 , of which £202,000 was granted to People’s Palace Projects to support their work with Indigenous communities in the Amazon. The remainder contributed to project delivery and Migrate Art’s broader charitable activities.

Shepard Fairey London Mural

With the support of a $215,000 (£153,787) grant from the Ford Foundation , Migrate Art commissioned artist Shepard Fairey to create a large-scale public mural in Hackney, East London, addressing the theme of climate change. At 16 metres high, the mural is Fairey’s largest work in the UK to date. As part of the project, Migrate Art engaged the local community through workshops and Q&A sessions held in a nearby community garden. Feedback from participants was shared with the artist and helped shape the final mural design. To further public participation, 1,000 seed cards featuring the mural's artwork were distributed locally, encouraging residents to grow flowers in their homes and community spaces. In addition, £2,250 was granted to Refugee Community Kitchen , funding the provision of approximately 2,000 hot meals for people experiencing homelessness in the area.

Objectives and activities (continued)

l Grant-making policies

All grants distributed by Migrate Art in 2024 were made exclusively to pre-approved, registered charities in accordance with the charity’s grant-making policy. The trustees approved funding to People’s Palace Projects (Registered Charity No. 1074880) and Refugee Community Kitchen (Registered Charity No. 1191982), both of which are registered with the Charity Commission. No grants were issued to new or unapproved organisations during the reporting period.

l Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

In 2024, Migrate Art undertook a number of activities designed to advance its charitable purposes for the public benefit, in line with the charity’s objectives.

As part of the From the Ashes project, Migrate Art hosted a one-week exhibition that was fully open to the public and free to attend. The exhibition showcased newly created works by leading international contemporary artists and provided visitors with free access to high-quality cultural experiences. In addition to presenting significant artworks, the exhibition aimed to raise awareness of the threats facing Indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest. A public programme of talks was held in the exhibition space, offering further educational benefit and public engagement around environmental and humanitarian issues.

As part of a separate project funded by the Ford Foundation, Migrate Art commissioned a large-scale public mural by artist Shepard Fairey. The mural was painted on the side of a residential building in Hackney, East London, and remains freely visible to the public from the street. To ensure local community involvement, Migrate Art hosted a breakfast event for residents in the area, allowing them to meet and engage with the artist. A series of workshops and Q&A sessions were also held in a nearby community garden prior to the mural’s creation. Community feedback from these sessions was incorporated into the final mural design, ensuring that local voices were reflected in the project and that the community felt meaningfully involved throughout.

Achievements and performance

l Main achievements of the Charity

In 2024, Migrate Art raised a total of £417,587 through its charitable activities, supporting the charity’s objectives of funding humanitarian and environmental initiatives through contemporary art. The charity’s work received significant media coverage throughout the year, with features in national and international outlets including CNN, BBC, The New York Times, Globo, The Art Newspaper , and others. This press coverage helped to raise the profile of Migrate Art and its mission both in the UK and globally. During the year, Migrate Art collaborated with 34 internationally recognised artists , 19 of whom were new collaborators. These partnerships contributed directly to the charity’s fundraising and public engagement goals, further strengthening its impact and reach. The From the Ashes exhibition, organised in 2024, directly engaged approximately 1,500 members of the public over the course of its one-week duration.

Achievements and performance (continued)

l Review of activities

2024 was a highly successful year for Migrate Art. The organisation exceeded its fundraising target of £400,000 , raising a total of £417,587 through its charitable activities, allowing us to grant £204,250 to organisations to provide support to vulnerable and indigenous communities, inline with the objectives of the organisation. A key milestone was the successful delivery of a large-scale public mural by internationally recognised artist Shepard Fairey—an ambitious new direction for the charity. Despite some last-minute challenges related to planning permissions at the original mural site, the project was relocated and delivered effectively, maintaining strong community engagement and positive public response. A particular highlight of the year was the extensive national and international media coverage Migrate Art received, including features in CNN, BBC, The New York Times, Globo, and The Art Newspaper. This increased visibility significantly raised the charity’s profile and helped it to reach new audiences.

Financial review

l 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. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

l Reserves policy

The Trustees closely monitor the level of free reserves available to ensure there is sufficient financial flexibility in place. The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. At the year end, the unrestricted funds equated to five months of unrestricted charitable expenditure, excluding discretionary grants.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to support the current level of expenditure and to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

l Principal funding

Migrate Art’s income in 2024 was principally generated through the sale of artworks donated by artists for the purpose of fundraising. In addition, the charity received a $215,000 (£153,787) grant from the Ford Foundation , which was specifically designated to support the Shepard Fairey mural project in London.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

1. General information

Migrate CIO was setup and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 29 January 2024 (charity number 1206762) as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) using the Foundation Model constitution whose only voting members are its charity trustees. The registered address is 28 Harrow Way, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 5TU.

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.

Migrate CIO 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 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.

2.3 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.

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

Grants payable are charged in the period when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the period end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Taxation

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

2.5 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.

2.6 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.

2.7 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.

2.8 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.

2.9 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 period.

2.10 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.
