## **THE SAINSBURY CENTRE ENDOWMENT FUND** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024** 

## **Structure Governance and Management** 

## **Governing document** 

The Sainsbury Centre Endowment Fund consists of two funds. The 1983 fund was established under a Trust Deed dated 21 June 1983 and the 1986 fund was established under a Trust Deed dated 23 December 1986. Although the two funds are administered separately they are treated as one charity by the Charity Commission and the individual accounts have been combined for the purpose of the statutory audit. 

**Trustee Selection Methods** The power of appointing University Trustees is exercisable by the University of East Anglia ('UEA'). The External Trustees are appointed by the continuing External Trustees with them being required to appoint those nominated by Lord Sainsbury of Turville. **Organisational structure of** The External Trustees are responsible for investment policy and **the charity and how decisions** management. The Trustees meet twice a year to consider reports **are made** from the External Trustees on investment performance and policy, to receive reports on the application of the funds passed to the University in order to fulfil the objects of the Trust and to consider the annual report and financial statements. **Risk policy** The key risk to the trust fund is the volatility of market investments as evidenced over the past year, where the value of investments has fluctuated and future investment income is anticipated to be substantially lower. The Trustees, in consultation with and on the advice of their Investment Advisers, maintain a diverse and balanced investment portfolio to mitigate so far as possible against adverse risks affecting the overall value of the endowment so that the charity can continue to pay out the income generated to the trust beneficiary. At the same time, other major risks to which the trust is exposed are considered and, where necessary, steps are taken to mitigate and minimise those risks. 

## **Risk policy** 

## **Objectives and Activities Objects** 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The principal purpose of the Fund is to provide income but not capital which is permanent endowment to support the running costs of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at the UEA, Norwich ('the Centre') which are attributable to parts of the Centre which are being used for displaying a collection or exhibition. The Trustees have reviewed the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit and consider that the information contained in this Trustees' report clearly sets out the aims, activities and achievements of the Trust which are of benefit to the general public.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024** 

## **Connected Charities** 

Connected charities, independently administered and with similar objects and with which this charity operates, are the Sainsbury Research Unit for the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas. 

## **Achievements and Performance Achievements** 

During the year the Trust distributed £417,505 (2023 - £407,622) to the University of East Anglia, to expend for the benefit of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. 

The charity has no paid staff. 

## **Director's Report** 

In September 2023 the Sainsbury Centre launched the first of its 'Big Question' season of exhibitions, which forms part of its new approach to exhibition programming where the Centre empowers art to address fundamental societal challenges. The Centre launched with _Planet for our Future: How do we adapt to_ a _transforming world?,_ during which the Centre delivered an interconnected programme of exhibitions, interventions, collection displays, an artist residency, museum-late and artist-led workshops, with the aim of inviting visitors to consider the global challenges of pollution, environmental destruction, and climate change, but inspiring visitors with the transformative power of art to imagine a better future in which human behaviour mitigates the effects of climate change. The Centre's second season _What is Truth?_ launched in February 2024 and investigates how someone can know what is true in the world around us, exploring themes of Artificial Intelligence and gender expression and identity. Also forming part of the _What is Truth?_ season has been a dynamic photography exhibition re-evaluating the most iconic images of the past 100 years, exploring the impact photography has had had on shaping the narrative of major global events. Both seasons have received excellent visitor feedback, with visitors fully engaged with the topics and enjoying interacting with artworks in much more active and inquisitive ways. 

The Centre has successfully delivered a number of exhibitions during this reporting period including; _The Stuff of Life/The Life of Stuff 10 September 2023- 14 January 2024, Sediment Spirit: The_ - _14 Activation of Art in the Anthropocene 15 October 2023 October 2024, In Event of Moon Disaster, Liquid Gender and Jeffrey Gibson: No Simple Word for Time 17 February 2024-4 August 2024, as well as The Camera Never Lies: Challenging Images through the Incite Project 18 May- 20 October 2024._ The Centre has also hosted a number of artist collaborations including Claudia Martinez Garay's and Paul Cocksedge's works in the Living Area, as part of the exhibition _Sediment Spirit._

||The Trust's permanent endowment funds are invested to generate|

||Investment income has increased by 6.5% compared to the|
||previous year. The dividend yield appears to have stabilised|

## **TRUSTEES'REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024** 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare the financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law. 

Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its net incoming resources for the period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting polices and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SAINSBURY CENTRE ENDOWMENT FUND** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED31JULY2024** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of the Sainsbury Centre Endowment Fund for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 charity's affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure 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 Charities Act 2011. 

## **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 trustee's 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 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.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SAINSBURY CENTRE ENDOWMENT FUND** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024** 

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 require 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 and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement set out on page 6, the trustees 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 charity 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. 

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: w .frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud** 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SAINSBURY CENTRE ENDOWMENT FUND** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024** 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. 

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. 

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non­ compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

- 2.14 The charity 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 amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise trade and other creditors. Investments are held at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, with gains and losses being recognised with income and expenditure. 

- 2.15 Cash held for reinvestment in the portfolio has been included within fixed asset investments only as it is a long term investment. Other cash that is available on demand within the income is included within current assets.
