Jo is a glass artist who graduated from Konstfack in Stockholm in 2021. She will take up a residency at the Royal College of Art in London in spring 2022.
At Konstfack, Jo’s research has explored how glass and light can be used to create sensory
environments which promote wellbeing and positivity. The blown glass vessels which form the core of her practice speak of the fluidity and movement which are at the heart of glass blowing.

She received a junior award from the prestigious Hattori Foundation in London and was invited to festivals in Norway, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom and Sweden.
A heart-warming award came from the culture department of Solna, Ami’s home municipality in Stockholm. The Solna City Kraus Scholarship ‘Krausstipendiet’ is awarded to support and encourage young talents between the ages of 16-21 in classical music in memory of Joseph Martin Kraus’s (17561792) musical life work.
_The most beautiful and moving point about this year, was the determined mindset of not letting the world situation stop musicians from sharing the music we all love. Thank you, Elisabet, for your support and trust in me. Without you and the Anglo-Swedish Society, I wouldn’t have been where I am now, and for that, I am truly thankful._

## EMMA MOUNSEY
## ceramic artist
Emma is a ceramics artist who graduated with a Masters Degree from the Royal College of Art in 2020. She took up a residency at Konstfack in Stockholm in autumn 2021.
Emma’s practise centres around the exploration of delicate handbuilt ceramic structures using hand rolled rods of paperclay to draw in space. The project has foundations in architectural structures, looking at supportive frameworks, the scaffolding that provides an armour to protect incomplete buildings, the bridges that span and connect divides whilst
drawing our attention to their existence, hiding and revealing simultaneously. It is also about anxiety, a point where chaos and order meet, where fragility and resilience collide. The work is rooted in boundaries and barriers, the confines she defines for herself.
During her residency at Konstfack, she worked towards further developing this body of work looking at introducing inclusions of new materials and new forms and partial physical constraints. She developed the idea of interacting objects, the tension between these fragile
structures and more solid objects surrounding or being surrounded and explored the idea of different objects influencing each other whether that be influencing the confines she places or physically impacting on the warp and flow of the piece, pushing the idea of the relationship between the enclosed and the exposed, the experience of space created by her sculptures.

## LIZ JACKSON
## ceramics artist
Liz graduated from the Royal College of Art with a MA in ceramics. She will be supported as an exchange student at Konstfack in Stockholm for 3 months, starting January 2022.
Elizabeth works to commission as well as for exhibitions. She welcomes conversations with galleries and organisers and looks to partake in residencies globally.
Her work explores the way in which meaning can emerge through making and the ambiguity of composition. Using colour, glaze, intuitive and considered making she look to create work which evokes thought or feeling in the viewer and might offer a reflection on the human condition and modes of being.
_At the centre of my practice I am a gatherer of things: words, abstract objects, everyday objects, colours, gestures, and questions. At Konstfack I will once again use gathering as a starting point for my work in clay, a way into intuitive making, an attempt at translating thoughts, feelings and experience that might not be easily translated through the use of language._

## ELIN SUNDSTRÖM glass & ceramics artist
Elin is a 2021 MA graduate from Konstfack in Stockholm. She will be supported during her exchange to the Royal College of Art in Winter/Spring 2022.
Elin is a materialbased artist living outside Uppsala, Sweden. Her practice is multi-disciplinary and performative using photography, ceramic sculpture, land art and installation, as well as writing. Her work is concerned with the relationship between human and nature, negotiating nonhierarchical ways of relating to the other-than-human. She holds a BFA from HDK, the University College of Design and Crafts, Gothenburg and a MFA from Konstfack, the university of Arts, Craft and Design, Stockholm, and
she has participated in various group shows in Sweden.
A deep care for nature permeates her processes and methods, and much of the work takes place outdoors. She often works site-specific in proximity to water, which holds an important place in her art through its physical and philosophical properties of spreading and thereby binding together species, bodies and landscapes.

_I am intrigued to see what could be learned from working with a city as a landscape, and it would be quite the challenge to hear the places through the urban noise. I am prepared to be unprepared. Maybe there are some new materials, waiting to be put to work?_

## HRH THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH KG KT
## Patron from 1954 to 2021
Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, as he was styled until his engagement to Crown Princess Elizabeth of England, was born on Corfu on 10 June 1921. When he was two years old, his mother’s sister, Lady Louise Mountbatten, married Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden. This marked the start of Prince Philip’s life-long relationship with Sweden.
In 1930, he was sent to England to divide his time between the homes of his maternal grandmother, Lady Victoria Mountbatten, and his maternal uncle, Lord George Mountbatten. George Mountbatten’s sisterin-law, Lady Zia Wernher, was married to Sir Harold Wernher.
Sir Harod Wernher was Chairman of the Swedish manufacturer Electrolux and moved its headquarters to Luton in 1926. He was also President of the Anglo-Swedish Society from the late 1940s to the early 1960s.
Queen Elizabeth II’s first inbound state visit was by the King and Queen of Sweden in June 1954. Ahead of the visit, the Duke of Edinburgh was created the 725[th] Knight of the Seraphim since the Order’s institution in 1748.
This is the highest honour that can be conferred by Sweden’s head of state.
In the same year, Prince Philip became Patron of the AngloSwedish Society, alongside the King of Sweden and Swedish Ambassador. As with all the organisations he was involved with, played an active part.
HRH The Duke of Edinburgh hosted and attended many Anglo-Swedish Society occasions. Mebers will recall the ease and good humour with which he spoke at the Friendship Ball at the Dorchester in 2004. The sixtieth anniversary of his Patronage was celebrated at Buckingham Palace on 4 November 2014 and was to be the last time he hosted or attended an Anglo-Swedish Society event. With his customary good humour and charm, he spoke with all his guests and made everyone feel welcome.
He died on 9 April 2021, two months before his hundredth birthday and was the longestserving Royal consort in history. The funeral was held at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on 17 April.
Also on 17 April 2021, the bells of the Riddarholm Church in Stockholm rang a Seraphim Toll for His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. This Toll is traditionally rung on the same day as the knight’s funeral, and lasts for one hour. During the Seraphim Toll, the Duke’s coat of arms was positioned in the chancel by Per Sandin, Vice Chancellor of the Royal Orders of Knighthood. They now hang in the church together with the arms of other deceased knights and members.
A service of thanksgiving for the Duke’s life was held at Westminster Abbey on 29 March 2022. The 1,800-strong congregation included hundreds of representatives from the Duke’s charities. These included the Anglo-Swedish Society’s President, Lord Alan Beith, and Chairman, Alexander Malmaeus.

## Achievements and Performance
Virtual talks continued to attract an audience from beyond the United Kingdom and allowed members of our sister societies abroad to attend.
Emma Mounsey took up a residency at Konstfack in Stockholm in September 2021.
The Anglo-Swedish Society’s music scholar Ami-Louise Johnsson shared Second Prize at the prestigious Oskar Nedbal Viola Competition in Prague. The jury could not decide who would be given 1st prize so they decided for us to split the shares of both prizes, although Officially no one received the 1st. Ami-Louise also won the prize for the best interpretation of Oskar Nedbal Romantic Piece op.18. Congratulations are in order!
Translator Nichola Smalley (Anglo-Swedish Society Scholar 2007-08) and author Andrzej Tichý made it to the longlist for the International Booker Prize 2021 for the English translation of the novel _Wretchedness_ (‘Eländet’). To celebrate this, the Swedish Embassy in and the Swedish English Literary Translators’ Association hosted a live streamed event on Thursday 15th April, featuring the duo in conversation. The talk was moderated by Dr Anja Tröger, Teaching Fellow in Scandinavian Studies at the University of Edinburgh and members of the Anglo-Swedish Society were invited to attend.
Christina Cadogan gave a talk on _Nordic Light In Swedish Painting,_ Dr Isabelle Charmantier of the Linnean Society of London spoke on Carl Linnaæs; Professor David Goldsmith and Erik Orłowski on _Swedish Pioneers,_ Neil Sandberg on Raising SS Egypt; Josefin Roos on her book _Black Swallow_ (‘Svartsvala’) and earlier works; Professor Claire Thomson on _Secret Stockholm;_ Professor Neil Price of Uppsala University on _Dealing With The Dead In The Viking Age_ , Eivor Martinus on _In the Shadow of a Saint_ ; December 14: Dr Henrik Malm on _Computational Design And Architecture_ . The majority of talks were recorded and are available online.
The Anglo-Swedish Society was pleased to welcome the Linnean Society of London as its newest Corporate Member. The two societies have had an association for many decades and it is hoped that this marks an even closer connection in the future.
Professor Wilhelm Engström, editor and co-author of the recently published book “ _Frank Heller och England_ ” gave an online talk on the author’s adventurous life and relationship with England. We were most grateful to our sister society, the Anglo-Swedish Society in Gothenburg, for arranging this joint event.
It is with great sadness that we note the death of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh KG KT. He remained our Patron from 1954 until his death, some 67 years. The 60th anniversary of this Patronage was celebrated at Buckingham Palace on 4 November 2014. His Royal Highness became Patron when Major-General Sir Harold Augustus Wernher was President of the Society and remained our active supporter though the following decades.
Sir Roger Gifford (born 1955) died in May 2022. When he became Lord Mayor in 2012, he invited the Anglo-Swedish Society to enter a float titled “ _The Kingdom of Sweden_ ” in the Lord Mayor’s Show seen by 500,000 people in the City of London and 1.5 million on the BBC. He hosted the Society’s white tie Punsch Ball at Mansion House in 2013. Roger was made a Commander of the Order of the Polar Star in 2007 for Swedish culture and Knight Bachelor for services to international business, culture and the City of London.
The former President of our sister society, the Swedish-British Society in Stockholm, Dr Håkan Mogren, died aged 77. He succeeded Dr Peter Wallenberg in 2008 as President of the Swedish British Society, holding the position until 2016.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
## Financial Review
The Trustees have forecast the level of free reserves (that is, both funds not tied up in fixed assets and designated and restricted funds) the Charity will require in order to sustain its operations and make appropriate adjustments should there be a material reduction in the Charity’s income. The Trustees consider that the most appropriate level of free reserves is a sum equivalent to twelve months of the Charity’s running costs, which is calculated as total bank and payment charges, secretarial and website domain costs together with printing and stationary for the year 2021: £4,381 (2020: £3,752).
At 31 December 2021 the Society had unrestricted reserves of £89,053 (2020: £81,131). Of this, £26,736(2020: £23,581) is held in investments to provide income, leaving free reserves of £62,317 (2020: £57,550).In addition, restricted reserves of £32,890 (2020: £31,673) are held, taking total reserves to £121,944 (2020: £112,804).
The year-on-year stable level of reserves provide confidence that the Society will continue to be able to cover operational costs and award scholarships as promised.
## Responsibilities of the Council
The members of the Council (“The Trustees”) are required to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and of the surplus or deficit of the Society for that period. In preparing these accounts the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgments 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 accounts;
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Society will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Society and which enable them both to ascertain its financial position and ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 1993. 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. In particular they are responsible for investing charitable funds wisely to maximise the return in a manner conducive to its charitable needs and demands.
By order of the Trustees

## Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees and Council of Anglo-Swedish Society
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Anglo-Swedish Society (the charity), charity number 289688, for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 14 to 23.
## Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
## NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
## **1. Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
## a. Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention 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 applicable regulations.
Anglo-Swedish Society meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are drawn up on the going concern basis which assumes the Charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees consider the current and forecast cash resources to be sufficient to cover the working capital requirements of the charity for at least 12 months.
The Trustees are of an opinion that at the time of approval of these financial statements there were no indications suggesting that the charity would not be able to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.
## b. Fund accounting
The funds held by the charity fall into the following categories:
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objectives of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by a donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
The Trustees consider that the most appropriate level of free reserves is a sum equivalent to twelve months of the Charity’s running costs
## c. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations, subscriptions, sponsorship and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities (“SoFA”) when received. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Income from investments is included in the SoFA on the accruals basis. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year. Incoming resources from charitable activities are accounted for in the period in which the performance takes place.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
26
ANGLO-SWEDISH SOCIETY
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
## d. Subscriptions
Subscriptions for individuals are included in the income and expenditure account on the accruals basis.
Corporate subscriptions are included in the accounts on an accruals basis.
## e. Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include any independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.
## f. Investments
Investments are stated at market value. Gains or losses on revaluation are included in the SoFA.

## SS EGYPT
## 7 April 2021
The P&O Liner SS Egypt sank off Brest in 1922. Amongst its cargo was £1million in gold. Neil Sandberg described the salvage of the cargo, which was at a depth of 65 fathoms (400ft). The deepest known salvage until then was at 25 fathoms (150ft), so very few believed that recovery was possible ... apart from a Swedish engineer called Peter Sandberg, Neil’s Great Uncle.

## JOSEFIN ROOS 7 April 2021
Author Josefin Roos gave a fascinating talk about her latest critically acclaimed book Black Swallow (‘Svartsvala’) and about her earlier books. In Black Swallow, Lucía recovers consciousness after a stroke. She has no short-term memory and has to re-learn everything from scratch. Her doctor tells her that she is liable to have another stroke any time and that a pregnancy would be particularly dangerous, but she meets someone and has a child by him. Years later she falls in love again,
but she is not sure if her new love is someone that she knew previously and with whom she has she already had a relationship. Black Swallow is a novel about love, about oblivion and about living and loving in the shadow of death. We were grateful to Council member Robert Freeman for arranging and hosting the online event.
An edited version of the talk, including the Q&A session, has been published on our YouTube Channel.

Dr Claire Thomson
Doctor Claire Thomson gave a talk to the Society about the use of short film by the Swedish Government. Her talk, entitled Screening Mid-Century Sweden, focused on the use of short information films by the Government of Sweden following the end of World War II.
In the wake of WWII, governments, businesses, and international organisations made use of short films to instruct and persuade their populations about matters ranging from public health to cultural heritage. Short films were also made for
distribution abroad as a tool of tourism, nation branding and cultural diplomacy. Sweden was no exception. This talk introduced a range of Swedish short films made between 1947 and 1963 which present Sweden, and particularly Stockholm, to the world as a progressive, prosperous, picturesque, and modern nation.Films including Människor i Stad (Rhythm of a City, Arne Sucksdorff, 1947), The Riddle of Sweden (Gösta Werner, 1963) and Secret Stockholm (Edward Maze, 1963) can be accessed via www.filmarkivet.se.
Claire Thomson is Associate Professor of Scandinavian Film and Director of Film Studies at UCL. Claire is the author of the books Thomas Vinterberg’s Festen (Seattle, 2013), Short Films from a Small Nation (Edinburgh, 2018), and co-editor of A History of Danish Cinema (Edinburgh, 2021). Claire gave a fascinating and very popular talk to the Society at the end of last year on the classic silent film Körkarlen (The Phantom Carriage).

## DEALING WITH THE DEAD IN THE VIKING AGE 6 October 2021
Professor Neil Price of Uppsala University, arguably the global doyen of matters Viking, and the author of a superb book on Viking history and culture, The Children of Ash and Elm (2020) gave a fascinating talk to our members. Neil shared with us his scholarship and learning around a very interesting facet of that remarkable epoch, the relationship between the living and spirit worlds, both of which were very prominent and important in those times. Professor Neil Price is Distinguished Professor of Archaeology and Chair of the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at the University of Uppsala (a chair that dates back to 1662 when Olof Verelius was made ‘Professor of the Fatherland’s Antiquities’); he holds his degrees from the University of Uppsala (Ph.D.) and the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. Professor Price has worked on over 50 sites, has published prolifically, and has served as a consultant on numerous television, radio, and public media projects. The evening was hosted by our Council member, Professor David Goldsmith.

## IN THE SHADOW OF A SAINT
## 2 November 2021
The renowned author Eivor Martinus talked (in English) about her recent book I Skuggan av ett Helgon which explores the role Swedish Saint Birgitta’s (c 1303 – 1373) daughter Katarina (c. 1332 – 1381) played in her life and how she was instrumental in the foundation of the Bridgettine convent. Without her, St. Birgitta would probably not have been canonized. Eivor Martinus was born in Sweden and has lived in England since the 1960s. She has been awarded literary prizes from the Swedish Academy, the British Comparative Literature Association and the Swedish Writers’ Union. The evening was hosted by our Council member, Professor David Goldsmith.

ANGLO-SWEDISH SOCIETY
## Structure, Governance and Management
The Anglo-Swedish Society (hereafter referred to as “the Society” or “the Charity”) was formally established on 17 February 1919 and Registered as a Charity in England and Wales on 21 June 1984 under rules adopted on 16 May 1984.
A Board of Trustees, known as the Council, comprising the Officers and up to 12 members, administers the Society. The Officers are: the President, the Chairman, the Vice-Chairman, the Honorary Treasurer and Honorary Secretary. The President is elected by the Society’s members for 3 years and may be re-elected. The Officers and Council Members are elected by the Society’s members and hold office until the next Annual General Meeting at which they may be re-elected. The Trustees receive no emoluments.
The President, although an Officer of the Society, takes no part in the management of the Society.
The Council has appointed an Executive Committee from its members with the Society Chairman as its Chairman and a membership comprising the Officers of the Society and the Chairmen of the Awards and Events Committees.
The Society has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. The Council has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and has found that specialised unit trusts, designed for the charity sector, and bank accounts paying high tax free interest, meet their requirements to generate both income and capital growth. The Council is constantly reviewing the performance of its investments.
## Objectives and Activities
The objects of the Society, which shall have no political character, are:
(a) the advancement of the education of the public in the science, art, literature, music, history, economics, philosophy, culture and other recognised academic subjects of Great Britain and Sweden;
(b) the support of any other charitable activities.
In furtherance of the above-mentioned objects, but not further or otherwise, the Society shall:
(i) arrange fund-raising events and activities;
(ii) arrange lectures, classes, exhibitions, readings, concerts and broadcasts;
(iii) print and publish such literature as shall be necessary for the attainment of the objects;
(iv) administer any funds available for charitable and educational purposes.
Although grant making is not the main way the Society carries out its purpose, the Scholarships and Awards programme, re-established in 2003, is an important part of the charity’s work.
