## **WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR** 

2022 has seen the SAHGB continue the endeavours of 2021 in moving away from the constraints on our activities caused by the global pandemic. As evidenced in the return of our Annual Study Tour, held in Oxford, we were delighted to be able to hold many of our main events in person once more. Our annual awards ceremony was held at the Charterhouse in the City of London, and many of our IHR seminars were held in person. At the same time, the expertise we gained in hosting online events during lockdown means that many of our activities are now hybrid, enabling us to bring in audiences from far and wide, and broadening the Society’s purview in so doing. Typical of this was our PhD/Early Career Symposium, ‘Using What We Have: Architectural Histories of Fragments, Ruins, Rationed Resources and Obsolete Spaces’, held in March 2022, and hosted online and in situ at the University of Liverpool. 

Membership has continued to grow steadily, and we welcome the new members (number just over 80) who have joined during this period. Our members are the core of the Society, and enable us to do the work we do. It is from their ranks that we draw the volunteers who make up the management team and the Board of Trustees; their tireless work makes the Society run day to day, very ably facilitated by our administrator Kathryn Schofield. 

in November 2022. I am also pleased to report that our ongoing oral history project has reached a first fruition with fourteen interviews with leading architectural historians now catalogued at the British Library and made available on its publicly accessible Sound Archive platform in the early months of 2022. 

Organisationally, the Society continues to consolidate the constitutional changes made in 2020. 2022 also saw Murray Fraser retire as Chair, replaced by me at the AGM held in November. On behalf of the Society I thank Professor Fraser for his careful shepherding of the SAHGB during the most interesting of times, and I look forward to continuing his good work. 


Elizabeth Darling Chair, SAHGB June 2023 

As well as our awards ceremony, 2022 also saw a successful annual conference ‘The Architecture of Borderlands’ , which took place on 16, 17 and 20 May 2022 as an online event. It was co-hosted by Queen’s University Belfast and the Manchester School of Architecture. The 65 th volume of our journal was published

## **The President’s Council (non-Trustees and not elected by the General Meeting)** 

The restructuring of the Society agreed at the 2021 EGM included the creation of a new body, the SAHGB Council. This group of eminent experts in our field and allied architectural disciplines is led by the President and is intended to take a role in fundraising for the Society as well as to advocate for architectural history and heritage in the public realm. Its first meeting was held in May 2022, with a second in December.

**REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES** 

The Board of Trustees presents its report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022. The legal and administrative information forms part of this report.  The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - “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)”. 

## **Objects of the Society** 

## **OUR MISSION KNOWLEDGE, ADVOCACY, DISSEMINATION** 

We are an educational charity dedicated to **furthering the knowledge** of architectural history through advancing research, education and learning; **disseminating** that knowledge to public and professional audiences through programming, content production, support and publishing; and **advocating** for our members and the discipline in heritage, architectural and highereducational settings. 

We strive to demonstrate that a strong discipline of architectural history is a vital strand of the arts and humanities, that it enriches the promotion and celebration of built heritage and the historic environment for all, and is part of the bedrock of architectural education and practice. 

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022

**OUR VISION ‘ALL PLACES, ALL PERIODS, ALL WELCOME’** 

We are focussed on strengthening our position as the leading subject and professional association for architectural history and architectural historians in all their professional contexts, as well as the leading forum for lifelong learning. We want to develop a diverse and sustainable membership that represents the discipline and practice of architectural history. 

Our strength must be in our breadth of interest, representing plurality and proactively expanding the scope of the discipline - as the subject association we must find common threads, make connections, and weave them together. We should foster a sense of collective mission and community of shared interest among members, professionals and other special interest organisations in our field. We need to provide more opportunities to network and exchange ideas across sectional interests and national borders, and build skills and create resilience in a difficult and complex professional landscape. 

This vision can be summarised clearly as ‘All Places, All Periods, All Welcome.’ 

## **OUR PURPOSE** 

Beyond our ongoing commitment to the support of architectural history for its own sake, our campaigning purpose has two goals. First - to inform and invigorate the preservation of built heritage, so that architectural inheritances are understood, protected, and celebrated in their historical contexts. Secondly - to help build and support architectural history as a fundamental discipline in contemporary architectural education so that historical method and heritage can properly inform contemporary practice.

**OUR VALUES AND PRINCIPLES INCLUSIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, CREATIVE** 

Beyond our ongoing commitment to the support of architectural history for its own sake, our campaigning purpose has two goals. First - to inform and invigorate the preservation of built heritage, so that architectural inheritances are understood, protected, and celebrated in their historical contexts. Secondly - to help build and support architectural history as a fundamental discipline in contemporary architectural education so that historical method and heritage can properly inform contemporary practice. 

## **Organisation and Structure** 

The Society’s constitution is its Articles of Association, as revised and confirmed at the online AGM on 24 November 2021.  It is governed by the Board of Trustees (BoT). The **Chair** , who is also a Trustee, can serve for a maximum of three years in that role but they must submit themselves for annual re-election, after initial appointment, for each of their two subsequent years in office. The BoT delegates dayto-day management of the Society’s affairs to the **Honorary Secretary** (called Chief Executive Officer in the Articles of Association) who leads a Management Team of a number of officers. The **President** , who will be appointed by the Chair and Trustees serves a maximum of one five-year term. The **President’s Council** is a group of senior or co-opted members of the Society, who volunteer to support the Society’s fund raising efforts and to promote and advocate for the Society’s interest and profile in the wider world, though without budget or executive responsibility. Sub-committees on various facets of the Society’s activities report to the Board of Trustees. 

## **Public benefit** 

guidance on public benefit. Our vision of ‘All Places, All Periods, All Welcome’ reinforces our commitment to accessible and diverse activity. We have a public programme with most activities open to all. For events with a charge for participation, we aim to offer support in the form of bursaries to students and young people. Within the professional programme, our academic seminars, co-supported by the Institute of Historical Research, are also publicly accessible. We publish news, podcasts, funding information and features on our website which are also freely available. Our awards, grants and scholarships programmes are open to all to apply, and they reward and celebrate research in our discipline and cognate sectors, in many cases publicly funded, which add to the public benefit. We are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and we have convened a number of networks around protected characteristics to develop further outreach and diversity initiatives in the discipline. We actively partner with other charities and not-for-profit organisations, including the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), the C. F. A. Voysey Society, and the Institute of Historical Research (IHR). 

In planning the Society’s activities, the Trustees have full regard to the Charity Commission’s 

Any surplus made from any of the Society’s activities forms part of its charitable funds.

## **Developments, activities & achievements during the year** 

## **BOARD OF TRUSTEES** 

The former Executive Committee officially adopted the roles of a Board of Trustees, following the election of the trustees in November 2021. The Board met four times during the year and held the 2022 AGM as a hybrid event, at UCL and online, in November 2022. 

## **MEMBERSHIP** 

have joined during this period. During 2022 the total membership briefly reached 1,000, though the net effect of some losses and non-renewals can account for the end-of-year picture. The membership categories of Young, Student and Early Career members grew promisingly through this period, as well as international interest; around a tenth of the membership is now based outside the UK, most finding us through the online programme. 

The support of our members is key to our activities. In this year, membership subscriptions accounted for approximately a quarter of the Society’s income overall. The Society is immensely grateful for the continuing support, and also welcomes over 80 new members who 

From 1st January 2022, an increase in membership fees in all categories was brought in, though the former ‘surcharge’ on members joining or renewing from an overseas address was removed. The 2022 levels are shown in the following chart.

By 31 December 2022, the membership of the Society numbered 993. 

We are pleased to report a small net increase in the membership between 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022. Though membership dues are requested annually in January, sustained interest from new people joining the Society was strong over the full year. 

During the period, we received notice of 21 cancellations and the sad news of the passing of 15 members.

## **Donations with membership** 

We welcome donations with membership payments, and declarations committing to Gift Aid if members are eligible to do this. 

Over the 12 months of 2022, 45 individual members, from a wide geographical reach, responded to the requests to make small, additional donations along with their membership and event payments. Of the new members using the ‘Join Now’ page to sign up online, 37 completed Gift Aid declarations, joining many people who have committed in previous years. We are sincerely thankful to each and every donor, whose contributions support our work.

## **AWARDS** 

The Awards Ceremony was held in person at The Charterhouse, with unexpected snow causing some disruption but creating a memorable atmosphere. The awards for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion, Colvin Medal, ‘Hawksmoor’ Essay Prize, and the Heritage Research Prize, were presented at a ceremony by the President, Prof Elizabeth McKellar. 

## **The Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion** 

The Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion – awarded since 1959 – is given annually to the author of a literary work that provides an outstanding contribution to the study of architectural history. The work must be by a British author (or authors), or deal with an aspect of the architectural history of the British Isles or the Commonwealth. The award is named after the mother of the American architectural historian Henry Russell-Hitchcock, and the medallion consists of a Wedgwood portrait of James ‘Athenian’ Stuart. It was presented to the Society’s general meeting in 1959. 

Following an open nomination process, nominees were invited to submit to a longlist. Longlist submissions comprised a writing sample, supporting statement and letters of endorsement from publishers and peers. From this, the judges decided a shortlist, read the works in their entirety, and then made a final award (with the possibility of further commendations). The judging panel consisted of: Dr John Goodall (Architectural Editor, Country Life); Dr Conor Lucey (University College Dublin); Professor Wendy Pullan (University of Cambridge); Professor Lukasz Stanek (University of Manchester); Dr Diane Watters (University of Edinburgh/Historic Environment Scotland). Professor Elizabeth McKellar, SAHGB President, was the Chair. 

Eleven titles were nominated, with 4 titles shortlisted: 

**Basile C. Baudez** , _Inessential Colors: Architecture on Paper in Early Modern Europe_ (Princeton University Press) 

**Manolo Guerci** , _London’s ‘Golden Mile’: The Great Houses of The Strand, 1550 - 1650_ (The Paul Mellon Centre for British Art) 

**Jasmine Kilburn Toppin** _, Crafting Identities: Artisan Culture in London, c. 1550 - 1640_ (Manchester University Press) 

**Nathaniel R. Walker** , _Victorian Visions of Suburbian Utopia: Abandoning Babylon_ (Oxford University Press) 

The Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion was awarded to **Basile C. Baudez** , who was praised for the mastery of a breath-taking range of sources, many of them little-known, and the quality and quantity of the illustrations woven through his work.

## **The Colvin Prize** 

The Colvin Prize is awarded annually to the author or authors of an outstanding work of reference that relates to the field of architectural history, broadly conceived. All modes of publication are eligible, including catalogues, gazetteers, digital databases and online resources. It is named in honour of Sir Howard Colvin, a former president of the Society, and one of the most eminent scholars in architectural history of the twentieth century. The prize was inaugurated in 2017; winners receive a commemorative medal designed by contemporary medallist Abigail Burt. 

The judging process for the Colvin Prize mirrored that of the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion. The judging panel was chaired by Professor Murray Fraser (SAHGB Chair to Nov. 2022), with Professor Richard Brook (Manchester School of Architecture); Professor Louise Campbell (University of Warwick); Dr Valeria Carullo (Royal Institute of British Architects); Professor Simon Pepper (University of Liverpool); and Professor Leslie Topp (Birkbeck, University of London) 

There were 9 nominated titles. A shortlist of 4 was taken forward by the judging panel, as follows: 

**Adam Nathaniel Furman and Joshua Mardell** , _Queer Spaces: An Atlas of LGBTQIA+ Places and Stories_ (RIBA Publishing) 

**Mark Girouard** , _A Biographical Dictionary of English Architecture, 1540 - 1640_ (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art / Yale University Press) 

_Survey of London_ , Ed. **Peter Guillery,** Whitechapel, vols 54 and 55 (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art / Yale University Press) 

**Oriel Prizeman** , _The Carnegie Libraries of Britain: a Photographic Chronicle_ (Arts & Humanities Research Council) 

The Colvin Prize was sadly a posthumous award, honouring **Mark Girouard** . Beautifully written, the result of decades of scholarship, his book was judged to be an instant classic which would stand as the definitive work on the architecture of the period 1540 - 1640 for a very long time.

## **The SAHGB ‘Hawksmoor’ Essay Medal** 

To encourage new and unpublished entrants to the field of architectural history, the Society’s Essay Medal (popularly known as ‘the Hawksmoor’) is awarded annually to the author of the best essay submitted in competition. The competition is limited to PhD students and early career researchers (defined as within 5 years from graduation of a terminal degree). The judging panel, drawn from the Editorial Board of Architectural History, comprised Professor Mark Swenarton, Dr Shona Kallestrup, Dr Emily Mann, and Professor Barbara Penner. 

Six submissions were received on a range of subjects. The ‘Hawksmoor’ Essay Medal was awarded to: 

## **Holly Smith**

## **The SAHGB - IHBC Heritage Research Prize** 

The Heritage Research Prize aims to recognise and celebrate the quality of architectural-historical research produced by colleagues in heritage and conservation practice. A proudly joint venture founded by the societies of the SAHGB and the IHBC (Institute of Historic Building Conservation), the following prize panel served for the second year since the launch of the award: Ms Lone Le Vay (IHBC Vice Chair); Professor Aylin Orbalsi, Mrs Christina Emerson, Mr Simon Green, and Ms Tanvir Hasan, chaired by Professor Malcolm Airs OBE.

## **ORAL HISTORY PROJECT** 

An Oral History of British Architectural Historians was launched by the SAHGB in 2018. Project aims are three-fold: to document the work of historians of British architecture in all their professional contexts (including higher education, heritage, and those whose interest is independent of their professional background or education); to record the life stories of architectural history practitioners who have worked in Britain and/or who cover subjects related to Britain or its former empire and current commonwealth; and to expand our understanding of the development of British architectural history as a discipline. Shortlisted interviewees are prioritised by age and, where relevant, state of health. 

Project manager Sarah Dowding stepped down in May due to maternity leave. Dr Geraint Franklin has led the project as chair of the oral history committee. Generous support of £3,600 was received in October 2022 from the John R Murray Charitable Trust, to contribute to funding the project manager role for a year. Ms Laura Owen was appointed to replace Sarah and to start in Jan 2023. The project subcommittee agreed to explore further funding. 

Fourteen interviews with leading architectural historians were catalogued at the British Library and made available on its publicly accessible Sound Archive platform in the early months of 2022. Four others were in progress or completed in the second half of the year. A training day was held at the British Library in May 2022, where 5 new interviewers were trained. 

## **PROGRAMMES** 

Gradually over the past year we have seen a welcome return to in-person events while still taking advantage of the wider audience possible through online programming, including a number of successful hybrid format events. In April 2022, Dr Stephen Gage took over as Programmes Officer from Savia Palate. 

## **Flagship Events** 

## **PhD/Early Career Symposium** 

This year’s annual event for PhD scholars and early career researchers was held in March 2022, a hybrid event hosted at the University of Liverpool titled ‘Using What We Have: Architectural Histories of Fragments, Ruins, Rationed Resources and Obsolete Spaces’. The keynote was given by Dr Konstantina Georgiadou. Following that, two sessions addressed historic traditions as well as current theoretical and practical approaches informed by architectural history research, followed by a concluding round table session to draw these themes together. 

## **Annual Conference** 

‘The Architecture of Borderlands’ took place on 16, 17 and 20 May 2022 as an online event. It was co-hosted by Queen’s University Belfast and the Manchester School of Architecture and was co-convened and chaired by Prof Gary Boyd, Dr Karin Ellliott, Prof Richard Brook and Dr Luca Csepely-Knorr. The keynote lecture was given by Prof Kenny Cupers. Over four panel sessions and fourteen presentations, the conference explored a diverse range of border conditions, from individual buildings, to complexes of buildings, to designed landscapes which are a direct response to their physical location or their political role within a borderland. Architecture that exhibits commonality or neutrality, dependent upon its situation and context – buffer zones, no-mans-lands, and transitional spaces have spawned a range of programmes that facilitate either community interaction and cross cultural dialogue or conflict, smuggling, escapes, rituals, parades, performances, protests and other kinds of border events.

## **Annual Study Tour** 

The first annual study tour in several years was held in September 2022 in Oxford, organised and led by Elizabeth McKellar, David Lewis and Geoffrey Tyack. Taking place over three days, the tour covered a range of buildings from all periods, including tours of many historic Oxford colleges as well as surrounding sites such as Kelmscott Manor, home of William Morris, a rare inside look at postmodern masterpiece Sphinx Hill, on the Thames at Moulsford, by John Outram, and the recently completed Edward King Chapel at Ripon College, Cuddesdon, by Níall McLaughlin. The keynote lecture was given by Prof William Whyte and titled Putting Oxford in its place: The local and the global in university architecture. In addition, the curator of Kelmscott Manor, Dr Kathy Haslam, gave an online introductory talk to the building, The Kelmscott Manor Past, Present and Future Project, that was also available to attend by our wider membership. Around 55 members attended, who provided donations to support 2 students to participate in, and assist with, the programme. Planning is currently underway for the next study tour, to be held in Manchester in September 2023. 

## **Annual Lecture** 

As recorded in last year’s report, the postponed 2021 Annual Lecture was held in March 2022 with Professor Christine Stevenson, titled Telling the Stories of the Great Fire. The event was successfully offered as a hybrid lecture. An audience at the Museum of the Home was joined by a large contingent who attended online. Given the timing, there was no official annual lecture for 2022. 

by Ruhul Abdin, ‘Hijra Homes: Mithu’s House in Puran Dhaka’. In October 2022, we hosted the online symposium ‘Afghanistan: Architectural Heritage and Global Politics’, a unique joint collaboration with the Society of Architectural Historians (US). The event attracted a large global audience - around 300 registrations - with two panels and eight papers moderated by Professor Vimalin Rujivacharakul and Professor Murray Fraser. In conjunction with our annual Awards Ceremony held at the Charterhouse in London in December 2022, we hosted our first Study Day in several years. Dr John Goodall led an in-depth tour of the Charterhouse, a fascinating medieval institution which has changed functions many times over the centuries: plague burial ground, priory, private mansion, boys’ school and almshouse. 

## **Academic Seminars** 

The dedicated Architectural History seminar series – co-hosted with the Institute of Historical Research – was convened by Dr Stephen Gage, Dr Lynne Walker, Vanessa Vanden Berghe, and Dr Livia Lupi. The monthly seminars aimed for breadth of topic and time period, with a mixture of PhD students, early career researchers, and established scholars. Starting in autumn 2022, the seminars successfully moved to a hybrid format, taking place online and in person at Senate House in London. Topics included ‘Petticoats in Parliament: Female subversion of parliamentary space in long-nineteenth century Britain’ (Amy Galvin), ‘Risky Investments? Mercantile patronage at Santa María del Mar in Barcelona’ (Tom Nickson), and ‘Post-War Architecture in West Africa’ (Iain Jackson & Rixt Woudstra), among others. 

## **Member Talks and Events** 

The LGBTQIA+ network organised several online talks, including a June 2022 panel event celebrating the launch of _Queer Spaces: An Atlas of LGBTQIA+ Places and Stories_ , and a July 2022 talk

## **EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION** 

## **Women Architectural Historians’ Network:** 

In terms of activity, it has been a quieter year for the Women in Architectural History Network. We have continued to support the Board of Trustees in advising when issues relevant to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion have been raised. Following her appointment as Chair of the SAHGB, Elizabeth Darling stood down as network convener and Dr Rosamund Lily West was appointed as the new convener. 

## **LGBTQIA+ Network:** 

The LGBTQIA+ Network, too, has had a quiet year in terms of activity. After an unanimous decision by network members not to host a themed programme for LGBTQIA+ History Month, the only seminar organised by our network took place in July 2022. Ruhul Abdin spoke about Mithu’s house in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and gave an insight into the lives and histories of Hijras in the city. Our network also celebrated the publication of Joshua Mardell’s and Adam Nathaniel Furman’s RIBA-published book, _Queer Spaces_ , which received several Colvin Prize nominations. Joshua, who is an active network member, invited some of the contributors to the book to share their research with the wider SAHGB community. 

The networks look to members for support and to initiate events or work relating to the networks. The Society is also looking for convenors for both the Race and Ethnicity and Disability networks. The network conveners advised the Board of Trustees on questions relevant to EDI and continued to shape the Society’s strategy through their regular attendance and input at the management team meetings. The WAHN’s Elizabeth Darling and Christiane Buxton (LGBT- 

QIA+ Network) also supported Luca Csepely-Knorr (Education Officer) during the selection process for the Society’s 2022 MA Bursary. 

## **Communications** 

Our Magazine The Architectural Historian is published twice a year.  Issue 13 was sent to members in March 2022 due to pandemic-related delays (Ed. Cath Slessor). Members received the 2 annual issues for the year in May: (Issue 14, guest-edited by President Elizabeth McKellar) and December (Issue 15, guest-edited by outgoing Chair, Professor Murray Fraser). 

In December 2022, the Society appointed an intern, working 6 hours a week, to support its digital delivery and communications. The intern’s priorities are intended as: facilitation of hybrid and remote events such as the seminar series, news and sector events posting on the website, care of the Society’s online archive and photos, and social media posting. 

## **Operational & financial review** 

The Society’s financial position is set out in its financial statements. The Board of Trustees is grateful for the many generous donations made to the Society over the 

course of the year. In general, the financial situation of the Society seems to be in a healthy position.

Commission and other relevant bodies. 

## **Governance and Management** 

## **Staff and volunteers** 

The position of Administrator has qualified for employment status since 2022. The Society is as ever heavily reliant upon volunteers. 

The post of Administrator was taken by Ms. Kathryn Schofield, following Ms. Grace Connelly’s departure early in this year. The SAHGB conveys its gratitude for her years of service. Ms. Schofield was appointed as an employee in March 2022, for 15 hours per week over 3 days. 

Ms. Maria Ilia Kastrouni, studying a PhD in the UK, was offered a 12-month internship in December 2022 for 6 hours per week. 

During the year none of the Trustees received any payment. 

## **Trustees** 

For the purposes of company law, the list of Trustees shown on page 2 are also the directors of the company.  Trustees automatically retire upon completion of their term of office but may be eligible for reappointment. 

No Trustee has any beneficial interest in the Society.  All Trustees are members of the Society and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of winding up. 

New Trustees are identified following a review of the skills and experience needed to oversee and develop the Society.  In addition to considering the relevant skills that each potential Trustee may bring to the Society, the recruitment process also considers potential conflicts of interest. 

Following appointment, new Trustees receive a briefing and induction programme as appropriate, using materials supplied by the Charity 

The Society’s governing documents and policies are reviewed regularly to ensure they keep pace with developments in best practice. 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in the preparation of financial statements** 

The Trustees (who as noted are also directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Society’s annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The Board of Trustees presents this annual report and the financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2022. 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charity for that period. 

In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue on that basis. 

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Society and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Society and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information on the Society’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Board of Trustees has examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Society faces and confirms that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. 

## **Going Concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Society 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 

## **Investment powers and policy** 

The Trustees have the investment powers set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association to invest in any investments, securities or properties, those monies that the Society does not immediately need.  Such funds are invested by the Society’s discretionary investment managers, Brewin Dolphin. 

## **Independent examiner** 

In view of the scale of the Society’s activities and net assets, an independent examination but not an audit of the Financial Statements is required. This examination has been carried out by Sue Kowszun BA FCA DChA. 

## **Reserves** 

The Board of Trustees’ policy with regard to reserves is to maintain adequate funds to deal with current and medium term needs including approved research grants together with the necessary provision to deal with unforeseen circumstances. 

As at 31 December 2022, the Society’s free reserves were £386,011 (2021: £391,706).  In order to meet unexpected liabilities or appeals for funding, the Trustees believe that the Society should hold easily accessible reserves of between £200,000 and £250,000, with some latitude (in the order £25,000-£50,000) when the valuation of reserves is felt to reflect transitory volatility in financial market conditions.

## **Statement of disclosure of information to the Independent Examiner** 

The Trustees at the date of approval of this Trustees’ annual report confirm that, so far as each of them is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Society’s independent examiner is unaware, and the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of that information.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s Trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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’). 

respect of my examination of your charity’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.

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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **1   ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of fixed asset investments at market value, and they have been prepared in accordance with the “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)”.  They also comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. 

The Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. These unaudited financial statements have been subjected to independent examination.  See report on page 18. 

The principal accounting policies of the Society have remained unchanged from the previous year and are set out below. 

## **Going Concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. 

## **Income** 

Incoming resources are included gross, without netting off any related expenditure. 

Incoming resources, including legacies, are generally recognised when the Society becomes entitled to the resources, when receipt is virtually certain and when the monetary amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.  Specific policies relating to the Society’s particular income sources are as follows: 

- Donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) gross of any related tax claim. 

- Income relating specifically to a future accounting period is deferred. 

- Interest on funds on deposit is included when receivable.  Dividend income is recorded when received. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are included once the Society is under a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic resources. 

Costs of charitable activities include those costs directly attributable to activities undertaken in pursuit of the Society’s objects. 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories consistent with the use of these resources. Governance costs include all costs relating to compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. 

Bursaries payable are included as liabilities once the Society has irrevocably committed itself to the award. 

## **Fixed Asset Investments** 

Investments held as fixed assets are revalued at market value at the balance sheet date and both realised and unrealised gains and losses are taken to the SOFA. 

## **Stock** 

Stock comprises copies of the Society’s publications and is included at the lower of cost and net realisable value with due provision made for obsolete and slow moving items. 

Annual Report & Financial Statements 2022 

27 



## **Fund Structure** 

Unrestricted funds are those funds available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Society. 

Restricted funds may only be utilised in accordance with the wishes of the donor. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. 

## **Taxation** 

No provision for taxation, deferred or otherwise, has been made in the financial statements of the Society, as it is a charity in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and is exempt from taxation except for value added tax (VAT), provided that income and gains are applied for charitable purposes under s505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 and s252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992.  VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **Foreign currencies** 

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction.  Monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the SOFA.
