Gasworks and Triangle Network Vision and Mission

Triangle Network is an international network of grass-roots arts organisations sharing the common aim to support and promote emerging talent through cultural exchange and artists’ mobility. Established in 1982, Triangle’s main activities include workshops, residencies, exhibitions and outreach events. Triangle also encourages peer-to-peer learning, professional development for artists and the dissemination of emerging international art practices.

Gasworks, the hub of Triangle, is a contemporary visual art organisation that provides studios for local artists and develops a programme of artists' residencies, exhibitions, events and educational activities. Gasworks supports talent development of UK and international artists either at early stages of their career or when needing time to experiment with innovative ideas, methods and media.

Vision

Gasworks and Triangle create projects and develop partnerships at local and international level, prioritising activities that support emerging artists and peer organisations in under-represented regions or countries. International exchange is at the core of the organisation, addressing the need of emerging artists to make new work in contexts that instigate dialogue and exchange of ideas. The majority of Gasworks and Triangle’s projects are artist-led, process based and openended. Similarly, exhibitions are generally the result of new commissioned work resulting from long-term engagement and discussion between artists, curators and coordinators.

Strategic Aims

Triangle Network achieves its charitable objectives by:

Triangle Arts Trust

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report reviews the charity’s activities, the achievements and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Achievements and performance

The organisation was strongly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic throughout 2020-21. All residencies, exhibitions and on-site events were paused in March 2020. Our international programme, through the Triangle Network, was also put on hold and many of our partners went into lockdown or imposed severe social distancing restrictions in line with their governments’ guidance. Gasworks reopened in October 2020 with an exhibition by Argentine artist Eduardo Navarro, it closed again in November 2020 during a month-long lockdown and again in January when the ‘second wave’ saw the government imposing another lockdown which was eased in May 2021.

To support artists, Trustees offered all studio artists a 50% rent discount from April 2020 until September 2021. Studios remained accessible to tenants albeit, with stringent restrictions in place. From October 2020 international residency studios were offered free of charge to London-based artist, through an open call, prioritising those particularly affected by the lack of a workspace during the pandemic. The support of the government’s furlough scheme and Arts Council England’s Cultural Recovery Funds have played a crucial role in safeguarding staff’s roles and salaries during these challenging times.

The focus for the year turned towards digital output, as a means to continue to deliver public benefit and reach both current and new audiences, as well as supporting artists through online events and production of new work. Over 163,000 digital views were recorded during the year for activities including screenings of existing and new videos, performances, talks and presentations either organised by Gasworks and Triangle or developed in partnership with other organisations.

Another impactful event in 2020-21 was the Black Lives Matter movement, which the organisation has championed and used as an opportunity to reflect on and revise our practices and programming. While diversity and the support of marginalised groups have always underpinned all aspects of Gasworks and Triangle, we have issued a public statement, which currently sits on our website, seeking to provide evidence of our commitment to diversity while also highlighting our

plans for improvements. These included the provision of unconscious-bias training for all staff and Board members, the decision to look more closely to how we can make recruitment more equitable and how we actively support staff progression. We have also committed to revising our Diversity Action Plan and update the public statement twice a year.

Concerns about the environmental crisis were also an important priority for the organisation. Triangle Network has joined Julie’s Bicycle Accelerator Programme, a key strand of Arts Council England’s Environmental programme, and is working in partnership with the Live Art Development Agency to develop sustainable practices and share impact with peers in the sector as well as the general public. This is an area the organisation is aiming to develop more proactively in 2021/22.

Despite the difficulties brought on by the pandemic Triangle was able to purchase the freehold and renovate a 5-bedroom house in Stockwell to accommodate residency artists. This unique opportunity was possible through a generous interest-free loan of £725,000 from the Chair of Triangle’s Board of Trustees, Catherine Petitgas, which needs to be repaid by March 2026 (5 years). This project is adding an exceptional level of resilience and sustainability to the organisation at a time of continued uncertainty.

The charity's main activities, and whom it tries to help, are described below. All its charitable activities focus on the following activities which are undertaken to further the organisation’s charitable purposes for public benefit. In 2020/21 Gasworks and Triangle Network delivered their aims and objectives, across the following major areas of activity:

  1. Exhibitions & Online Programme

  2. Participation Programme

  3. Provision of artists’ studios

  4. Residencies Programme

  5. Triangle Network Programme

  6. 5.1. Network of Workshops & Residencies

  7. Editions and Prints Programme

1. Exhibitions & Online Programme

Gasworks introduces emerging artists and their work to London and the UK art scene by commissioning new work and offering the first major show to UK and international artists that are under-represented in the local arts scene. Only 1 on-site exhibition was possible as the result of the national Covid-19 lockdown, with digital content being the main output during the year. A series of widely disseminated online activities ensured that new work was commissioned, produced and distributed throughout the year.

2. Participation Programme

Gasworks’ Participation Programme aims to widen access to contemporary art for local communities in Vauxhall, South London through interactive projects such as workshops, residencies, commissions and events. The activities encourage collaboration and increase the sense of community cohesion and integration through artist-led projects. Our approach through the programme focuses on making contemporary visual art accessible and inclusive, supporting individuals to work with each other.

From September 2019 through to August 2020 Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck developed a project as part of the Gasworks Participatory Residency Programme Connecting Communities to explore feminist economics with a range of groups and individuals including the Henry Fawcett Children's Centre Parents Group and the Indo-American Refugee and Migrant Organisation (IRMO). They initiated workshops and conversations between women-led groups, archives, campaign groups, academics and individuals identifying as women who are interested in these ideas, and actively involved in feminist economic projects. They work closely with the participation evaluators FOTL (Future of the Left) to help develop an evaluation framework for the project.

For the year ended 31 March 2021

Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck, in collaboration with Social Broadcasts have produced a podcast series True Currency: About Feminist Economics, featuring women’s voices that ask questions, make connections, and share ideas based on their residency. They are permanently available on Gasworks’ website. In 2020/21 Gasworks continued to work with two groups from the Curating Contemporary Art course at Royal College of Art to research and produce two curatorial projects in response to Gasworks’ programmes and ethos. As a result of the pandemic, both projects took place outdoors and online.

3. Provision of artists’ studios

During the year, Gasworks provided 9 subsidised studios for London-based emerging and midcareer artists in response to the critical need of artists for centrally located, affordable working spaces. In response to the pandemic, the board agreed to reduce the rent by 50% for the full year, to account for artists’ loss of income during the lockdown.

The organisation continued to maintain a diverse balance (practice, gender, sexuality and ethnic background) of London-based studio artists. Through studio provision, Gasworks aims to create an environment that promotes innovative art making through dialogue and peer-to-peer support.

Artist studio holders 2020/21:

Evan Ifekoya Sin Wai Kin Kudzanai-Violet Hwami Lauren Godfrey Nicholas Byrne Rehana Zaman Sriwhana Spong, Lina Hermsdorf & Pio Abad Alice Mendelowitz Tai Shani

4. International Residencies Programme

Gasworks' Residencies Programme supports the development of emerging international and UK artists by offering studios and accommodation for 3 months. This set up establishes an environment that encourages exchange of ideas with other artists and staff, often instigating experimentation with new concepts and materials.

As a result of the international travel ban all international residencies were cancelled. Instead, studios were offered to London-based artists free of charge. They were also provided an online studio tour as well as the opportunity to share work and hold online curatorial visits.

5. Triangle Network Programme

Triangle Network develops strategic links, fundraising and projects that support its activities and programmes across partners throughout the world. Its UK hub (Gasworks) also works closely with new grass-roots projects to help identify funding and deliver their programmes.

Triangle Network's main activities, including a programme of Artists' Workshops and Residencies, was put on hold because of the pandemic. A programme of online talks and knowledge sharing meetings allowed network partners to support during this challenging period.

However, we were able to deliver two residencies at Bag factory, Johannesburg, supported by KfW Stiftung under the programme Art Connection Africa. The selected candidates were:

Feb – May 2021 Thebe Phetogo (Artist) Botswana
Feb – May 2021 Tila Likunzi (Curator) Angola

Gasworks, as the hub of Triangle, also worked closely with 32 Degrees East in Uganda to develop and deliver their capital campaign to build a new art centre that will serve as their home in Kampala. During the lockdown period the network supported the organisation with their crowdfunding campaign, raising nearly $100,000 towards the construction of their building.

In 2020 Triangle Network partnered with Yinka Shonibare Foundation (YSF) to transform the Foundation’s space in Hackney (Guest Space) into a digital platform for collaboration, creation and cultural exchange. The project aimed to benefit the activities and wellbeing of the artists and communities who have been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. YSF used their project space to commission, manage, facilitate, train, and enable the production of new work, broadening audiences and participation while focusing on supporting the most vulnerable in our community.

In addition, Triangle partnered with White Cube Gallery and artist, Michael Armitage to raise funds in aid of cultural and community organisations in Kenya afflicted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Grant recipients included:

5.1. Network of Workshops & Residencies

Fellowships are offered to UK-based artists who take up residencies with Triangle partners across the world. In 2020/21 these were put on hold because of the travel ban.

6. Editions and Prints Programme

Gasworks’ artist editions are sold to further our charity’s objectives, support our artistic activities, create new audiences and build visibility of the charity. All sales of editions go into supporting the running of the organisation and the commissioning of new artists’ works and future artist opportunities. As a result of the pandemic, only one edition was produced by Eduardo Navarro, to accompany his Gasworks exhibition.

Sources of Income

Despite the restrictions resulting from the pandemic, in the year to 31 March 2021, Triangle Arts Trust continue to benefit from the generous support of a number of trusts, foundations, individuals and organisations who enabled the charity to continue and expand its work.

Beneficiaries of our services

Our beneficiaries are UK and international artists, local communities and hard to reach groups in Lambeth and the general public.

Triangle Network ensures most of its charitable activities are free and open to the public. This includes the exhibition and public programme such as lectures, screenings, talks, online tours,

participation workshops and podcasts, book reading groups, and performance. All the online content produced during the year was available online for free.

Measuring Impact

The impact and quality of our charitable activities are measured through regular monitoring of media coverage, artwork trajectory, audience and artists’ feedback. The charity also invests in staff development and extensive curatorial research to ensure that the programme remains competitive and nurtures the quality of art produced by emerging artists internationally. Operationally, the organisation adheres to a stringent report and evaluation system both at staff level and with the board as outlined in the Business Plan.

In line with the mission and vision of the organisation, criteria for evaluating activities include whether:

Global political and economic changes have required the organisation to revise its situation and its offer to staff and artists. The main factors and the responses are as follows:

As part of our charitable objectives, we ensure more people experience and participate in the arts,

by:

At an operational level, the organisation evaluates its artistic aspirations and programmes through structures that include:

Over the coming year, the charity will continue to consolidate these evaluation methods and provide a structure to consolidate all material for the evaluation of projects. Across 2020/21 the organisation participated in the ACE’s Impact and Insight Toolkit to deepen our understanding of how well our work aligns with the experiences of our peers and our audiences.

Impact for year ended 31 March 2021

Gasworks was open to the public for two months only. The situation has been very similar for many Triangle partners. Social distancing measures to ensure safety of staff and visitors during the pandemic coupled with audiences unable to travel meant that Gasworks was able to welcome just 574 visitors to the building. However, throughout the year Gasworks programmed many digital exhibitions and events, and partnered with both international and UK-based organisations for online projects achieving over 38,105 interactions with online video and audio content,

performances and talks to date. This figure does not consider a project developed in partnership with The Institutum (Singapore), which provided paid sponsorship for 5 online commissions, each video receiving approximately 30,000 views.

Similar to the previous year, 74% of audiences rated our programme good (21%) or very good (53%). The main reason for visiting or watching our activities was ‘To be intellectually stimulated’ closely followed by ‘Art is an important part of who I am’. Gasworks continued to score high on diversity, attracting an average of 70% visitors and online viewers identifying as white against a Greater London average of 84%; and 30% non-white against a Greater London average of 16%. Many of the online survey respondents had visited Gasworks before, however we are encouraged that almost 90% of those watching the online programme that accompanied the exhibition of Eduardo Navarro (the only show we were able to host) had not seen the show in person but were still interested in engaging with it virtually. Significantly, 65% of our Instagram followers are international, confirming that Gasworks’ programme has a large following outside the UK, for whom online content is a way of staying up to date with the output of the organisation.

As part of our commitment to talent development and long-term support for emerging artists, during 2020-21 we supported the development of 31 artists (40 in 2019/20) across our exhibitions, online public programme, residencies, participation programmes. Within this, we successfully commissioned one major new exhibition and five video works for YouTube.

Although the travel ban made it impossible to work with many international artists, Gasworks delivered a balanced programme that reflected the diversity of the art scene in the UK. This was particularly evident in the composition of London-based artists invited to undertake residencies, of which 60% identify as non-white and 50% were female, queer or non-binary.

Gasworks has also continued to support ‘artists and curators of the future’ by working closely with two student groups from the Curating Contemporary Art course of the Royal College of Art, providing an access-all-areas-approach to the organisation and supporting them to develop exhibitions online.

We are part of the London Visual Arts Cluster and use the benchmarking tool to analyse our position and data against other galleries in the sector.

To understand the demographic of our online audiences during 2020-21 we collected data from 3 online surveys, with a total of 431 respondents.

Gasworks’ main audience demographics remained fairly consistent, with a good increase of visitors between 35 - 44 years old, suggesting that our programme is appealing to a wider range of ages and demographic. The reduction in visitors for the 16-24 year old bracket is mostly due to the cancellation of visits and workshops for local children and young people.

Our social media presence continued to increase across the year with 116,095 followers across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This represents an 11.5% increase on the previous year. The impact of our activities internationally keeps growing (helped by the extensive digital programme delivered during the year), 65% of our social media followers being from outside the UK.

Financial review

The results of the year to 31 March 2021 are set out in the statement of financial activities. Incoming Resources for the year are £804,550 (2020: £710,645), representing an increase of 13%. Resources Expended are £815,098 (2020: £752,461) representing an increase of 8%.

For the year ended 31 March 2021, the Trust shows a net deficit of (£10,548) primarily due to Capital Building depreciation (2020: net deficit of £41,816). As at 31 March 2021 the Trust had net assets of £1,830,891 (2020: £1,841,439) with net current assets of £366,350 (2020: £270,949).

Unrestricted funds of the charity amount to £250,362 of which £96,000 makes up the General reserves fund and £154,362 are designated funds. Restricted funds amounted to £1,580,529 at 31 March 2021, of which £1,493,989 is related to the Capital Building Project.

Reserves policy and going concern

Notes to the financial statements show the assets and liabilities attributable to the various funds of the Charity as well as summarising the movements on each fund for the year.

The Trustees assessed the minimum desirable level of unrestricted funds would be equivalent to 13 weeks of unrestricted expenditure on support costs, approximately £71,000 (2020: £71,000). During the year, the Charity was successful in exceeding its desired reserve of unrestricted funds to £96,000 (2020: £71,000, 2019: £64,112). This includes £25,000 of funds received from Lambeth Council towards organisational costs to mitigate the impact of Covid-19, which the charity will use in 2021/22.

Since the re-opening of the new building, the charity has put in place a designated Capital Renewal Fund, set aside for major repairs, allocating £10,000 each year as suggested in the Feasibility Study 2012. The charity was able to maintain this commitment in the year and the Fund now stands at £60,000, with likely expenditure taking place in the lead up to 10 years postreopening.

Within the year, the charity agreed to designate the following unrestricted funds: £10,000 to the Residency House to cover any additional refurbishment costs or repairs required within the first year; and £12,307 to the Exhibitions Programme.

Despite the impact of COVID-19 in 2020/21, the organisation has been able to maintain a solid financial position, through the receipt of an ACE CRF grant and careful financial planning with the trustees on a regular basis. The trustees do not consider there to be any material uncertainties over the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees will continue to keep the Charity’s financial position under review to ensure that freely available reserves are sufficient to meet its working capital requirements.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Trustees are responsible for the management of risks faced by the organisation. The Trustees review the organisation's risk register and management plan, which comprises:

15

Triangle Arts Trust

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

The key factors which have been identified as likely to affect performance going forward are as follows:

Risk: COVID-19 pandemic impacts operations including potential health impact on staff and artists. Ongoing travel restrictions force further postponement or cancellation of international residencies and limit the movement of international exhibiting artists.

Mitigation: quarterly revision of budget scenarios, regular revision of social distancing and other personal protection procedures, in compliance with government directives, including remote working. Gasworks has, where possible, focused on developing residencies with London-based artists who don’t have a studio. We also aim to host residencies with artists based in green or amber list.

Risk: Brexit and current economic climate affects income (fundraising and bank interest) Mitigation: continue diversifying income sources, flexibility in budgets for programme.

Risk: not securing sufficient funding to deliver the organisation's programmes of activity Mitigation: regularly update the Fundraising strategy, diversify sources of funding and continue to build existing and new relationships with funders and patrons

Risk: inability to raise enough funding to repay the loan for the purchase of a new Residency House. This would impact the international residency programme.

Mitigation: the loan has a 5-year term. A robust and achievable fundraising strategy has been presented to the board although this will be updated regularly to reflect ongoing progress.

Risk: Arts Council National Portfolio Funding comes to an end. Applications for new round of funding opens in 2022.

Mitigation: Gasworks and Triangle Network have a scoring of ‘outstanding’ on all key ACE priorities. A revised business plan was submitted in March 2021 and an application based on new key principles is being developed, with advice and support from our ACE Relationship Manager.

Investment powers and policy:

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the Trustees wish. The Trustees have operated a policy of keeping available funds in an interest bearing deposit account.

Plans for the future

The organisation regularly evaluates its programmes and activities against its mission and vision to support emerging artists and encourage cultural exchange. These are measured against

16

Triangle Arts Trust

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

external factors such as the political and economic environment as well as the development of new artistic practices and debates (please see the risk section above).

Gasworks Exhibitions, Participation and International Residencies Programme

Gasworks is set to deliver on all exhibitions paused as a result of the lockdown and the programme for 2022 is fully confirmed. Also confirmed is the partnership with the Royal College of Art, the Creative Europe fund towards the commission of a major film production to be shown in October 2021. Gasworks also received funding from City Bridge Trust to deliver a two-year participation programme, starting in April 2021, involving community groups in Lambeth. For 2021/22, Gasworks aims to deliver:

Uncertainties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic means the programme could continue to be disrupted. The organisation will be in regular contact with Trustees, artists and funders to manage and minimise any disruption this will cause.

Once the loan on residency house is repaid, all income from residency rents will be re-invested in activities both at Gasworks and across the Triangle Network. This will contribute to making the organisation more ambitious and sustainable in the long-term.

Triangle Network Programme and Activities

Triangle responds to the need of artists and arts organisations to communicate with one another in order to share ideas, skills and experiences. These links enable partners to play a unique role in connecting the local and the international art scenes, challenging insularity, creating further opportunities for artists and placing themselves at the forefront of the debates on international arts practice.

In a time of extreme financial and environmental uncertainty we plan to continue to meet regularly online to share experiences and provide advice for each other. The launch of Triangle TV in April 2021 has added a new online presence for the network, which is delivering 12 presentations ranging from exhibitions tours to discussions on strategic practices for showing work online.

The network will also continue to deliver residencies in Southern Africa through the partnership with the KfW Foundation, hosted by Bag Factory in Johannesburg. Triangle Network also secured a partnership with the KSB (German Federal Cultural Foundation) in Germany to deliver a programme

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

of 9 curatorial residencies hosted by Triangle partners Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute (Kenya), G.A.S (Nigeria); and Bag Factory (South Africa) over the next 18 months.

While all these projects are confirmed, we are in close communication with partners and funders to maintain a flexible approach to our schedule to account for the unpredictable development of the pandemic.

Finally, Triangle Work closely with Rosie Hermon who is in her third year of her PhD, developed by Triangle Network in partnership with the Royal College of Art and London South Bank University. Part of the aims of the PhD is the research and development of a new online platform, offering the Network greater visibility and interaction.

Structure, governance and management

Triangle Arts Trust is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 25 June 1982. The document was updated, re-submitted to and approved by the Charity Commission (charity number 326411) on 26 May 2015.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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).

Trustee induction and training

New Trustees undergo an orientation session to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making process, the business plan, the programme and activities of the organisation and recent financial performance. During the induction session, they meet key employees and other Trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Organisation

The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The board also includes a Finance Sub-Committee of Trustees that meets regularly and reports to the Board. The Director, appointed by the Trustees, manages the day-to-day operations of the charity together with the Deputy Director. The Director is responsible to the Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Appointment of trustees

As set out in the Articles of Association, the Trustees have power at any time to appoint any person to be a Trustee as long as the total number is not fewer than 3 and does not exceed 10. A Skills Audit is carried out regularly and informs the recruitment of future Trustees. Trustees are

initially elected by those in office, and their appointment is subsequently subjected to election by a vote of the members.

At the third Appointment Board Meeting after his last appointment, a Trustee shall retire. He shall be eligible for re-appointment by the Board provided that no Trustee may continue to serve after six years in office without a period of at least one year out of office, unless on the recommendation of the Board the Trustee is elected for one further consecutive term of a maximum of three years. No Trustee may serve for more than nine years in total.

Policy for equal opportunities

Gasworks is committed to promoting and embedding equality and diversity and preventing discrimination in all of its activities across the following key areas:

The charity aims to ensure that no job applicant or worker receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, gender orientation, nationality, religion or belief (or lack of belief), ethnic or national origin, age, gender, gender reassignment or marital status, sexual orientation or disability. There will be no discrimination on these grounds in the terms and conditions offered to workers or job applicants. A Code of Conduct has been prepared and shared with all staff. The document also identifies various procedures in case of incidents.

We are reviewing our internal recruitment policies and action plans to include clearer and more specific language around our anti-racist and intersectional stance. All our staff and board have been provide training on the nature of unconscious bias and the future of anti-racist working.

At Gasworks, we aim to embed diversity in all of our activities, to set and maintain high standards of practice and to put in place effective self-evaluation procedures in order to achieve this.

This includes continuing to host an AWP (Widening Participation project) paid internship in partnership with ArtQuest and University of the Arts, which provides access to employment for young under-privileged people wishing to work in the arts.

The charity is committed to protecting personal information. In May 2018, we complied with the new GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) by reviewing and cleaning our data, ensuring our privacy policy was updated and accessible via our website and training staff members on new procedures. Our Privacy Policy provides detailed information on when and why we collect personal information, how we use it and how we keep it secure.

Employee information

The Director and Managing Director appraise all staff formally once a year with the support of a member of the Board, if relevant. Appraisal reports are included in staff’s personal file. Leadership and staffing is reviewed regularly at Board level. Training is offered in line with professional development objectives and is generally provided through courses and consultancies as well as staff travel to carry out research and attend networking events. The yearly training budget is ringfenced. The size of the team means that most monitoring of performance is undertaken informally through weekly team meetings and programme updates. Through these structures, issues can be quickly raised if necessary.

Recruitment is undertaken on as wide a basis as possible to recruit from a diverse pool of talent, and again, where necessary Trustees or external partners advise on appointments. In the interest of equity and inclusivity, options to submit applications through sound and video instead of text is now possible.

Pay policy

Gasworks’ current artists’ fees are in line with The Artists Information Company Paying Artists Guide, and a-n (Artists Newsletter) recommended guidelines. The organisation also liaises regularly with Common Practice (a support and advocacy group of 9 small scale visual arts and publishing organisations in London) partners and the Plus Tate Network to ensure salaries are in line with the sector.

Gasworks encourages Triangle Partners to consult with national peers to develop appropriate fair pay scales (in cases where the visual arts infrastructure is minimal or not relevant, fair pay is based on the average rate of pay for professionals – employed and freelance - in the wider national cultural sector). The organisation also facilitates peer relationships, mentoring, knowledge and skill sharing to ensure a fair pay of artists and other art professionals.

In July 2021, Gasworks liaise with Plus Tate peer organisations to review and discuss fair pay in order to produce a revised staff pay benchmark. Pay rises for senior members of staff are signed off by the Finance Committee.

Triangle Arts Trust

Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 31 March 2021

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also directors of Triangle Arts Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report including the strategic report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

● The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2021 was nine (2020: ten). The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

Auditor

Sayer Vincent LLP was re-appointed as the charitable company's auditor during the year and has expressed its willingness to continue in that capacity.

The trustees’ annual report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime.

The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on 15 December 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

Catherine Petitgas Chair

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Triangle Arts Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Triangle Arts Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 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:

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 charitable company 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 trustees' 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 Triangle Arts Trust'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.

23

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Triangle Arts Trust

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of

24

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Triangle Arts Trust

company law) 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 charitable company’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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

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:

25

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Triangle Arts Trust

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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Triangle Arts Trust

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

a) Statutory information

Triangle Arts Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office address is 155 Vauxhall Street, London, SE11 5RH.

b) 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

c) Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Despite the impact of COVID-19 in 2020/21, through careful financial planning, budget scenarios and the award of specific funding to support organisations during the pandemic, the trustees do not consider the pandemic has casued any material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

e) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income has been deferred when received in advance of an exhibition, residency, or fellowship or is related to an ongoing project and is subject to conditions already agreed.

f) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

30

Triangle Arts Trust

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

g) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

i) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

Raising Funds 7%
Exhibitions 14%
Participation 5%
Artists' Studios 4%
International Residencies Programme 8%
Triangle Network Programme 34%
Editions and prints programme 0%
Support costs 25%
Governance costs 3%

Support and governance costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity

Raising Funds 5%
Exhibitions 18%
Participation 18%
Artists' Studios 18%
International Residencies Programme 18%
Triangle Network Programme 18%
Editions and prints programme 5%

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

j) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

31

Triangle Arts Trust

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

k) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £1,500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Computer Equipment 3 years Straight Line
Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 5 years Straight Line
Building Purchase 50 years Straight Line
Building Improvements 15 years Straight Line

l) Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes transport and handling costs. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks. Donated items of stock, held for distribution or resale, are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

m) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

n) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

o) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

p) Financial instruments

The charity only 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 their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
