In the year directly prior to the pandemlc. 2019/20, the SLG welcomed over 160,1)00 visits and/or engagements. This followed an initial peak of 190,000 in the opening year of the Fire Station. As we emerge from the pandemic, our focus is on 5UStaining audience figures ol at least 120,000 visits per year and working towards rebuilding lo pre-pandemic levels over a number of years. In a typical year the SLG attracts a youn8 audience, a trend which continued in 21/22. Due to the pandemie, survey responses from 21122 are compared here with the most recent pre.pandemic year (19120) as no data was available for 20121. In 21122, 62Yo of surveyed visitors were aged 16 - 34 (65Yo in 19120), representative ol a young lo¢al community (50% of Southwark's adult population is aged 20-30). The surveys showed that we increased the percentage of visitor5 from Black. Asian or ethnically diverse backgrounds to 33Y {23fo in 19120). We also increased the per¢entage ol visitors who identify as deaf, disabled or having a long-term health condition to Il% (4% in 19120). 50Yo of people who completed the visitor surveys in 21122 live within a Ikm radius of the SLG. The metric is different to previous years where visitors were asked whether they live. work or study in Southwark, however the results are cons1Stent. Our local area of Southwark experiences much higher than UK average levels of economic and social deprivotion.. 12th in Child Poverty rate- 7th in out of work benefits recipients; 6th in unemployment. 6th for overcrowded households., and 6th for 19-year-olds lacking qualifications. It is the 41st most deprived lo¢al authority in En8land and the 12th most deprived borough in London. It is in this context that we run varied programmes to in¢rease ané sustain engagement from those who are least engaged, have protected characteristics and/or"are less advantaged. We collect and analyse data via visltor and project feedback and surveys, review sessions. digital insights, social media comments and staff feedblek and project debriefs. Findings have been used to develop audience development tools and strategies a5 we continue to grow and diversify our visitors and participants. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION Embedding our Equality, Diversity ind Inclusion aim5 in all our work is of vitsl importance to the SLG. We care deeply about becoming more diverse in terms of our programmes, audiences, staff and board and we recognise that we need to continue to work, with ever greater rigour. across a raft of measures. This includes rethinking strategie5 that aren't working. Over the next three years our core airn is to become known as a proudly diverse organisation, Irom our governance, staff and audience5, to our programmes and our work with local communities, to be a more innovative, relevant and exciting public space than ever before. Artists in our programmes range from established figure5 to emerging talent and the SLG has consistently shown work by high numbers of Black. Asian and ethnically diverse artists. Our programme engage5 audiences from all backgrounds, including those less likely to interact with cultural inslitutions. All our venues are accessible Ènd access is considered as an integral part of all programme planning.

In 21/22 we competed our review of casual contracts to create more permanent opportunities. providing stability for our employees. Recruitment policies have been developed and refined to ensure transparency and access to promotional opportunities and routes for progression. A pay review in 21/22 ensured that lowest paid roles continued to be above London Living Wage, recognising the intersection between low pay and lack ol diversity in the cultural sector workforce. Currently, 61% of SLG Board members identify a5 Black, Asian or ethni¢ally diverse. A recent Staff survey shows that 31Yo of staff members identify as Black, Asian or ethnically diverse, 3970 as LGBTQ+ and 25% as deaf, disabled or having a long-term health conditioll. We know that we have more work to do to address disparities within our team and to ensure that all levels ot our workforce are diverse and representative of our community. We have made progress in some areas but are acutely aware that at manager level and above, our team is not yet representative of our community. Ongoing work is taking place in close consultation with staff and the Trustee to develop strategies to attract, retain and develop 5tafl who identify as Black, Asian and ethnically diverse as well as those from socio-economic backgrounds which are UnderPresented in the arts and cultural sector. In the wake of George Floyd's murder and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, the SLG undertook a thorough review ot Its Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan which was published on our website. In 21122 our established Equalitie5 Advisory Committee made up of three SLG Trustees continued to meet quarterly with the Director and members of the Senior Management Team to ensure the SLG is accountable and to monitor progress against the Adion Plan. In 22123 a revised and updated Diver51ty & In¢lusion Action Plan will be published, DIGITAL REACH, INFRASTRUCTURE & PROGRAMMING On the SLG'S digltal channels in 21/22 we saw great engagement across platforms, as we focused on growing our reach and developing new online audiences.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE The SLG has an environmental sustainability policy and a¢tion plan and has established a staff-led sustainability committee which meets bi-monthly to raise environmental awareness and promote best practice internally. In 2022 a board level Sustainability Committee will be formed, made up of members of the Senior Management, SLG Board and an external specialist. Following a focus on the development of the Fire Ststion where the gallery worked with the arthitects and an environmentsl consultant to minimise the environmental impact of the building* our focus has turned back to the Victoriar) main gallery. The gallery achieved an important fundraising milestone in 21/22 raising the funds required to replace a gas fired air blower heating system from the 1980s with air source heating. The benefits of installing this new, much more sustainable system include: an estimated 40% reduction in our environmental impact. The introduction of improved energy eff iciencies with lower environmental impacts, carbon footprint.. heat pumps generate rnu¢h lower C02 emissions than conventional heating 5y5tems,' a significant red¥ction in our energy costs. We will also research opportunities to apply for the commercial Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) payment scheme. leading the way for other galleries to install air source heat PUrnP5, Setting an example. the gallery will be more comfortable, encouraging visitors to stay for longer and make return visits., the space will be more appropriate for the display of often delicate and sensitive art works. and invigilators, working conditions will be improved, thereby enabling them to deliver a higher quality of service to our vi51tors. The gallery has also continued to invest in the maintenance of its green spaces and encouraging bio. diversity in the Orozco Garden and Fox Garden at the main building and a garden to the rear and planted terrace at the Fire Station. The SLG also worked in partnership with Southwark Council and local residents to develop a new playground and planted area on Elmington housing estate which was complèted in 2021.

Raport of the lorthbjwrerthd 31 March 2tr22 The balance sheet at 31 March 2022 shows a net current asset position of £757,607 (20121= £436.288,' 19/20 £190, 115). With depreciation, fixed assets on the balance sheet decreased to £5,445,786 (20/21: £5.587,608; 19/20.. £5,700,347) having risen from £3,730,135 in 2017 reflecting the investment in building works at the former Peckham Road Fire Station. The SLG his an excellent track record of financial management, due to a Combination of good expert athice, the Director and Deputy Director's capacity for financial management, the support of the Treasurer. an active Personnel and Finance Committee and the involvemeTrt of a good quantity surveyor in capital projects. The Trustee has reviewed the budget and cash flow forecast up to 23124, which is prepared on a prudent basis. With the level of confirmed funding in place and the management's continual efforts on income generation and ¢ost monitoring, the Trustee considers the are no material uncertaintie5 which may impacl on the going concern assumption. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Trustee ha5 undertaken a risk review and particularly looked at the level of conlirmed income with which it operates. The Trustee has drawn up a risk registèr that lists all the identilied risks and the results of their analysis and evaluation. Fol lowing this exercise, the Trustee reviews the reserves level that would form part of the set of measures designed to manage risks. The Covid-19 pandemic has presented multiple risks and challenges to the SLG in the past two years. This included the inability to open to the public for extended periods due to government restrictions which in turn impacted on our ability to achieve our charitable objectives,. reduced impact on our beneficiaries; impacted our ability to deliver upon grant conditions and make the case for future funding; reduced our earned income capacity from venue hires. reduced SLG Trading Ltd's profit potential which it typically gifts to the charity., and forced the postponement of a critical gallery lundraising event from 20121 to 21/22. A5 the cultural sector re-opened from May 2021, staff turnover increased sector-wide with people looking for change and re-evaluating their priorities after more than a year of lo¢kdowns and social distancing restrictions. In October 2021, 25% of the SLG'S office staff (excluding vacant posit10115) had joined the gallery since July 2021, including three of five key senior management personnel. While there are many benefits to welcoming new stsff with new voices and fresh perspectives, there is a considerable impact on staff resources during the recruitment, induction and training period as well as on team dynamies and organisational culture, The SLG recognises that this unprecedented level of staff change poses a risk to the organisation and as such has invested in careful management and support of new staff members as well as a new dedieated HR Manager post in place since December 2021. The pandemic also placed many and varied pressures on staff in both their personal and professional lives. The SLG increased mental health and well-being support for staff durillg the pandemic including mental health awareness training,. training Mental Health First Aiders across the gallery,. an Employee Assistance Programme with free staff counseling., and mèntal health in the workplace training and too15 for managers. All of these initiatives have continued throughout 21/22 and are now co elements for the SLG'5 Staff policies and procedures. 17
th London FlneArt Gall and Ubrnry.. R¢pDrtof th8Tru5t•o forth?r end•J 31 Marth 2022 Currently, inf lation at record levels and the resulting rise in costs is a key risk for the SLG. As we emerge from the pandernic, the fundraising landscape is challenging. Key fundraising risks include.. That despite securirtrg funding for a further three years Irom ACE as a National Portfolio Organisation, standstill funding in the context of high inflation represents a significant real-terms eut., the financial position of existing donors (individuals and ¢ompanies) may continue to be impacted by Covid-19 and current high inflation. reduced annual visitor numbers compared with pre-covid years impacts on the gallery's ability to generate cornmer¢ial ineome (shop, café, venue hire. SLG skills). High inflation presents significant extra costs for the organisation - for example through increases to utilities bills and staff costs., Rising Interest rates increases the cost of borrowin8, for example the mortgage on the Artisls, Flat. The Trustee has worked wilh management to review the risks, develop strategie5 to mitigate them and ensure that contingency plans are in place and realisable. Plans in progress include: Reducing expenditure where possible; developing our digital infrastructure lo increase capacity lor commercial income generation and securing donations online,. investing in a new Director of Development & Enterprise role to create i step change in the SLG'S fundraising capacity and Commercial ineome generation; pursuing new multi-year funding partnerships for the programme. and seeking spon50r5hip from major corporates lor the exhibitions programme. Other principal risks have been identified as.. Actlon to Mltlgate Risk.

Reserves at 31 Mareh 2022 We £175.739. The Trustee considers that this level of reserves, when considered with secure Income and committed expenditure, is sufficient to ensure that the SLG is able to meet all its commitments until the end of 2023. The reserves level of £175,739 reflects unrestricted, undesignated, cash reserves. This is a significant increase from the previous year when £38,681 was held as cash reserves. Total unrestricted funds for the charity are higher. and since the separation of the SLG from Southwark in 2003 these have not lallen to a level below £90,000. In the 2014-15 financial year the SLG invested in the pur¢hase ol its artist-in-residence flat. This added a realisable capital asset to the balance Sheet of £313,095, less a mortgage liability of £214,010. While this is not included in the reserves policy, it does provide lurther financial stability to the organisation. The Trustee proposes to build its unrestricted, undesignated, cash reserves to a level sufficient to cover three months unrestricted core running costs. Based on longer-term projections the target is £250,000 to be bullt over a number of year5. EVALUATION We measure artisti¢ success by responses from press, ACE artistic assessors, the art world and audiences. We Collect data from participants and audiences for education activities and undertake in. depth evaluations lor individual projeets, often working with external evaluators. Forums and conferences provide opportunities for ben¢hmarking and peer review.

STATEMENT OF THE TRUSTEE’S RESPONSBILITIES
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period.

-
Selects suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observes the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Makes judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
States whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
Prepares the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 auditor’s report to the Trustee of South London Fine Art Gallery and Library for the year ended 31 March 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF SOUTH LONDON FINE ART GALLERY AND LIBRARY
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of South London Fine Art Gallery and Library (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended
-
Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
-
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 South London Fine Art Gallery and Library'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 Trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other Information
The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee’s annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustee is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements
24
Independent auditor’s report to the Trustee of South London Fine Art Gallery and Library for the year ended 31 March 2022
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 course of 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.
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 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
The information given in the Trustee’s annual report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements;
-
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 Trustee
As explained more fully in the statement of trustee’s responsibilities set out in the Trustee’s annual report, the Trustee is 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 Trustee determines 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 Trustee is 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 Trustee either intends 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 regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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.
25
Independent auditor’s report to the Trustee of South London Fine Art Gallery and Library for the year ended 31 March 2022
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We enquired of management, and the Finance and Personnel Committee, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity’s policies and procedures relating to:
-
Identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.
-
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
-
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
-
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

As the Council has agreed to take responsibility for any closure deficits, this means the SLG no longer has any liability for such a deficit. The pension cost charge represents contrlbutions payable under the scheme by the Gallery to the fund. The cost of provlding pension and related benefits is charged to the SOFA over ihe employees, seryice lives on the basls of a constant percentage of earnings whlch is an estimate of the regular cost. The Gallery operates a defined contrlbutSon penslon scheme whlch is available to all employees. The pension cost charge represents contribution5 payable under the scheme by the Gallery to the fund.
