## **THE SIR STANLEY SPENCER MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Trust'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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Trust is responsible for maintaining and managing the independent gallery devoted to the work of one of Britain's most original twentieth-century artists, Sir Stanley Spencer RA (1891-1959), who was born in Cookham and set many of his paintings in the village. The Gallery is a Fully Accredited Museum under the scheme administered by Arts Council England.
The Friends of the Stanley Spencer Gallery is a group of over 500 members who exist to support the Gallery and create greater awareness of Stanley Spencer. The Friends income and expenditure are included in this report.
The principal objective of the charity is the foundation, maintenance, improvement and support of an art gallery to be situated in the village of Cookham or elsewhere in England and Wales. This Gallery is to be known as 'The Stanley Spencer Memorial Gallery', be open to all members of the public without distinction and used to display paintings and other works of art by the late Sir Stanley Spencer RA, as well as other artists from time to time.
The area of benefit is determined as Windsor and Maidenhead. However, the gallery attracts visitors from across the UK and a wide range of countries overseas.
## **Public benefit**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities, we have given careful consideration to the Charity Commissions' general guidance on public benefit

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees are confident that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Since its opening in 1962 the Gallery has mounted a varied programme of public exhibitions. Exhibitions are produced to showcase different aspects of Spencer's art, based on the Gallery's own collection and loans from public galleries and private owners. In 2020 it presented ‘Painting by the Thames: Swan Upping at Cookham’ (focused on a key loan from the Tate) from Thursday to Sunday from 7 November 2019 until 15 March 2020 (original schedule 22 March). ‘Love, Art, Loss: The Wives of Stanley Spencer which was originally scheduled to run every day from 26 March to 1 November, was not able to open till 15 August and had to close again from 5 November 2020, each time because of national lockdown resulting from Covid-19. During the time that it was able to open in 2020 the Gallery welcomed 4,243 visitors.
The Gallery's permanent collection has developed and continues to grow thanks to generous gifts and bequests, as well as through occasional and carefully selected purchases. In addition, the Gallery welcomes and retains on long-term loan other works by Spencer. Works from the Gallery’s collection are available for loan to exhibitions held in other institutions in the UK and abroad. In 2020 the Gallery purchased a remarkable self-portrait drawing of Stanley Spencer from 1959, thanks to generous support from the Art Fund (with a contribution from the Wolfson Foundation), the Band Trust, the V&A Purchase Grant Fund and the Friends of the Stanley Spencer Gallery.
The Gallery also promotes Spencer’s art through its content-rich website ( https://stanleyspencer.org.uk/ ) and through a varied programme of events held throughout the year. Through its expert volunteers, the Gallery engages audiences that range in age from school children to senior citizens and encompass differing abilities. An extensive and unique archive of materials related to the artist is available to students and researchers by appointment.
The Gallery offers the opportunity to purchase books, prints, postcards and gifts. These purchases can be made in person or by telephone during opening hours.
A Management Committee is responsible for the daily operation of the Gallery.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The finances of the Trust are regularly monitored through the Treasurer and meetings of the Management Committee and Trustees.

## **THE SIR STANLEY SPENCER MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **Reserves policy**
The reserves policy is based on the following identified needs:
- To make provision for unforeseen repairs and maintenance of equipment and facilities in the Gallery or unanticipated interruptions to the Gallery’s operations.
- To maintain funds for the acquisition of the works of Stanley Spencer, which come on the market at unpredictable times and may have formed important parts of the Gallery’s collection as long-term loans. Seed funding from the Gallery’s own resources has been critical to successful fundraising for such additions to the permanent collection.
The principal regular sources of income for the Trust are Gallery entrance fees and the sale of goods. In the context of the challenges posed to the Gallery by Covid-19 and successive national lockdowns, the Trustees note with particular gratitude the pandemic relief grants received via local government. The Trustees would also like to place on record their appreciation of the support received from Friends of the Gallery and other donors and supporters. The Trust is managed and run by volunteers whose gift of their time and expertise enables the Gallery to operate effectively. The Trustees will continue its programme of events and exhibitions. Works by Sir Stanley Spencer RA will be purchased very selectively as they come on the market, providing the price can be safely managed within the funds available and the Gallery is able to attract additional external funding.
At the year end total unrestricted funds were £519,466 and total restricted funds were £664,828. Accordingly, the Trustees are satisfied that the level of reserves being maintained is necessary and adequate.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees ensure that appropriate insurance is in place for fire and theft to cover the full value of the exhibits. They installed the improved fire protection system, environmental system and increased security during 2007 improvement project to minimise the risk.
Purchases of paintings, drawings and other items related to the artist and our collection are only made if affordable within the Gallery's means or through donations and grants, or by a combination of funding and reserves. Long-term and short-term loans to the Gallery are insured through the UK Government Indemnity Scheme.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SIR STANLEY SPENCER MEMORIAL TRUST**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Sir Stanley Spencer Memorial Trust ( the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable 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 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

**THE SIR STANLEY SPENCER MEMORIAL TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**_
## **16 Financial commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities**
As part of the terms of grant funding received for the acquisition of Self Portrait Drawing (1959) the Charity would be obliged to remit to the funder part of any sale proceeds received in the event of any future disposal of the drawing. This creates a contingent liability for the charity. The value of the contingent liability is dependent on the sale price achieved and is therefore uncertain. As the charity currently has no intention of disposing of the drawing, it is not probable that a future liability will arise. As a result, the liability has not been recognised on the Statement of Financial Position.
## **17 Related party transactions**
There were no disclosable related party transactions during the year (2019 - none).
## **18 Post balance sheet events**
The global COVID pandemic emerged during the year and continued after the balance sheet date of 3 1 December 2020, the impact can be seen in the statement of financial activities, the income from charitable activities decreased due to the temporary closure of the gallery. The effects of the pandemic do not result in any adjustment being needed to the value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.
The Trustees remain confident that they will be able to overcome the short-term operational difficulties that are affecting operations and as a consequence these accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
