The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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, (SORP FRS 102).

The relief in need of artists, their widows, widowers and orphans, including those whose needs arise by having a physical or mental disability. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. During the year the charity continued to work for the good of society through continuing and new grants to support artists in need and extending grants to those affected by Covid constraints. The public benefit of the charity’s activities are outlined under “Objectives and activities” and in “Achievements and performance” below. 

## **Strategic Report** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity has continued the Step Change programme, assisting individuals at a growing number of universities. There are partnerships in place at Higher Education Institutions throughout England and Wales, supporting recent graduates to develop their artistic practice and to progress into professional artists. 

The Step Change programme supports individuals who are disadvantaged through economic, social or cultural circumstance, enabling them to progress their careers. The artists supported in the year to 31 October 2021 have been enabled to work on portfolios, exhibitions, commissions and other opportunities as they arose. 

## **Impact of Covid–19** 

The Trustees continued to take account of the pandemic’s impact on artists; aiming to mitigate certain issues that may prevent artists from progressing. Additional assistance was provided to a significant number of individuals as a result of Covid issues which had prevented or curtailed the completion of various courses and work.

**Artists’ Benevolent Fund Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31 October 2021** 

## **Partnership with Bombay Sapphire** 

In the autumn of 2020, ABF partnered with Bombay Sapphire as part of their Ripe for Discovery Artist Series Bottles. As part of this promotion, the ABF were enormously grateful to receive a £16,000 in total from this arrangement. This has helped to enable the charity to assist emerging artists, through the Step Change Programme, working with partners across the country to deliver financial support, access to resources and mentoring. 

## **Financial review (including reserves policy)** 

The Trustees are entitled to exercise discretion over both the capital and income of the fund. No specific restrictions are imposed on Trustees by the Trust Deed in the exercise of their powers of investment. It is the policy of the Trustees to invest the capital of the charity to provide sufficient income to fund its activities. The Trustees invest in appropriate investment funds such that these objectives can be met. The Trustees review the performance of the investment portfolio at every Trustees’ meeting and they are satisfied with the investment growth and return generated for the year. 

Reserves are maintained by the charity to meet fluctuations in investment income, providing funds to cover grant commitments. The current investment policy remains unchanged, holding funds in interest bearing accounts and in charitable and other investments. 

The  Balance  Sheet  shows net  assets available  to the  charity  of £631,018 (2020: £640,730).  Free unrestricted reserves amounted to £630,488 (2020: £640,215). The Trustees consider this level of reserves to be appropriate in the context of “Plans for future periods” below. 

The Trustees will continue their policy of safely investing the capital of the charity to ensure that payments to existing and future beneficiaries can be maintained. The administrative costs of the charity are under constant review. The Trustees intend to continue distributing grants which may exceed income each year, subject to annual reviews. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The charity currently focuses its activity on supporting artists in need at the start of their careers. This is achieved through the operation of its Step Change Fellowship programme delivered in partnership with various Higher Education Institutions based in England and Wales. During the period 2021 – 2022 the ABF proposes to undertake a major review of its operation, considering the opportunities that the current programme affords and developing plans to take the strategic work of the charity forward 2022-2027. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

There are six Trustees. The Trustees give freely of their time. The charity has no employees. Trustees are appointed for a three year term and may serve for further terms. The Trustees may appoint a further Trustee who is willing to serve, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Board member. The Trustees normally meet three or four times each year. 

Inductions for new Trustees include meetings with other Trustees, review of minutes and the governance manual and discussions with the Chair of Trustees. All Trustees receive training in Board responsibilities, legal framework, vision, risk and the strategic plan. 

## **Third party indemnity provisions** 

The charity maintains a Trustees’ Indemnity Insurance Policy arranged by BHIB Limited. This covers the Trustees against certain liability claims up to £100,000 in aggregate per annum at a cost of £166 in the year to 31 October 2021. 

## **Independent Examiner** 

The Trustees have appointed Peter Smith of Chittenden Horley as Independent Examiner for the financial statements for the year to 31 October 2021.

## **Artists’ Benevolent Fund Trustees’ Annual Report Year Ended 31 October 2021** 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities** 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare statements of account for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to; 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities’ SORP FRS 102; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent and; 

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity, and to enable them to ensure the financial statements comply with requirements of the Charities’ Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**Artists’ Benevolent Fund Independent Examiner’s Report Year Ended 31 October 2021** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the Artists’ Benevolent Fund** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] October 2021 which are set out on pages 8 to 18. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

**Artists’ Benevolent Fund Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 October 2021** 

## **1 Summary of significant accounting policies** 

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

The Artists’ Benevolent Fund is a charity established by Royal charter and registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 3 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are the financial support of needy artists. 

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 Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice. 

The accounts (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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include investments at market value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **(b) Funds** 

Unrestricted funds, which include designated but not committed funds, are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **(c) Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time of the Trustees in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report. 

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares. It includes dividends and interest. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised when receivable and dividend income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established. 

11 



**Artists’ Benevolent Fund Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 October 2021** 

## **(d) Expenditure recognition** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: 

- Costs of raising funds includes advertising and website costs; 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes grants, administrative, support and governance costs; and 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

Grants are included as expenditure in the period once they have been approved by the trustees and notified to the recipient or to a partner in funding. The fellowships and projects funded by grants are regularly reviewed and monitored. The trustees retain the right to terminate grant commitments if they are not satisfied with the progress of the programmes during the monitoring process, in which case the grants will be written back. Grants payable are included in accruals where a constructive obligation exists. 

## **(e) Support costs allocation** 

Support costs included in charitable activities include all costs that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, grant making costs, governance costs and administrative costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

## **(f) Costs of raising funds** 

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary donations and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

## **(g) Investments** 

Investments are recognised initially at cost which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains / (losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. The investments of the charity are detailed in note 11. 

## **(h) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **(i) Provisions** 

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. 

12 



**Artists’ Benevolent Fund Notes to the Financial Statements Year Ended 31 October 2021** 

## **(j) 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. 

## **(k) Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees consider that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **(l) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

There are no judgements or estimates that have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies. 

## **2 Income from donations and legacies**
