a The process for the appointment of new trustees is led by the Nominations Committee; a sub-group of the board. Vacancies are advertised or applications invited, in line with a skills and diversity audit, with candidates interviewed by a panel of board members.
Site Gallery’s main public funding body, Arts Council England, receives copies of board papers for each meeting. They may choose to attend a meeting as an observer if they wish. They do not have voting rights.
Achievements and performance:
During the year Site Gallery hosted seven gallery and studio exhibitions and a programme of engagement activity which included open workshops, reading groups, masterclasses family-friendly and early year sessions and work throughout the year with Site’s youth collective Society of Explorers who this year collaborated on the main gallery summer exhibition. We secured funding and launched a new weekly group for care experienced young people, called Creative Producers.
We recruited a new Chair in December 2024; Kate Brindley. During the year, we recruited a further five new members to our team, including a new role.
Artistic Activity
Site Gallery’s artistic activity is realised through its exhibition and participation programmes which are delivered through partnership and collaboration. We commissioned 11 new works this year from 13 artists, and created paid employment for 19 artists in the delivery of our programme activity.
-
2024/25 programme highlights included: - Jerwood Survey III: a biennial touring exhibition presenting artworks by 10 early-career artists which explored ideas of kinship and love; drew on science fiction; centred feminist and queer perspectives, and invoked spiritual, folkloric and cultural traditions to tell stories and imagine other worlds. Performances by Jerwood Survey III artists Paul Nataraj and Alliyah Enyo took place during the exhibition’s run.
-
Cyber Cafe: Site’s youth collective Society of Explorers’ second annual summer exhibition was designed with artists Antonio Roberts and Lucy Cheesman. Taking inspiration from the optimism and excitement of the first internet cafes, together they designed an interactive exhibition reimagining the creative potential of the internet cafe of today.
-
Subjects of State, Labours of Love: artist filmmaker Rhea Storr’s immersive multi-channel video installation presented an intimate portrait of Caribbean Associations in 1980’s Wolverhampton to the present day, and Sheffield African and Caribbean Community Association, SADACCA. Co-commissioned with Film and Video Umbrella, Site Gallery and Wolverhampton Art Gallery, the work captured the shared joys, celebrations, struggles, oppressions and complexities experienced by Caribbean heritage.

Participation
The year saw the launch of the Creative Producers four-year programme supported by a multi-year grant from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and funders including theJG Graves Charitable Trust. Through the programme Site will work with 30 care experienced young people aged 18 - 25 to develop their skills as Creative Producers and gain understanding of the creative industries. Working with a range of artists, participants will explore their own creative practice, produce their own events, and visit arts organisations in Sheffield and beyond. The programme is created and delivered in partnership with Sheffield City Council’s Voice and Influence Team, a group of care experienced workers employed to gather the views and represent the voices of care experienced children and young people.
The Society of Explorers: Site Gallery's group of 14-19s continued to meet weekly to develop their interests and skills. The collaboration with Antonio Roberts and Lucy Cheesman to create Cyber Cafe was the group’s second main gallery summer exhibition and the group also worked with artists including M V Brown, Sophie Rodgers and Lucy Brown to road test workshops, produced film interviews with artists and visited other artists, organisations and events.
Audience engagement work included:
-
New Tricks workshops for creative practitioners in video with Lucy Vann, digital animation with M V Brown, live coding with Lucy Cheesman and Antonio Roberts, creating performance vignettes with Soraya Nabipour, poster making with Foka Wolf and sessions led by the Site team including field recording and Gameboy photography.
-
Online and in-person reading groups exploring the research behind the exhibition programme.
-
- Holidays Activities and Food (HAF) school holiday sessions at Site and community venues delivered in April and August for Sheffield City Council’s HAF programme, which supported young people who receive free school meals by providing creative workshops and food.
-
~The Community Editing Suite continues to be available as a resource for artists and creatives to access digital production, participants in digital workshops can continue to build on their new knowledge and individuals in the city have a space to pursue creative workshops.
-
~ Site’s Digital Workshop Library was launched during the year, offering online tutorials in digital skills. The Library will continue to grow with new workshops as they are developed through Site’s New Tricks programme.
Reach
Over the course of the year, we recorded 44,081 visits to the gallery, with an additional 1,712 benefiting from our participatory and educational activity.
We created volunteering opportunities for 165 individuals and supported 3 paid internships.
Financial review
Site Gallery’s principal funders are Arts Council England (ACE) and Sheffield City Council who continued to provide revenue support. 2024/25 was the second year of the new funding agreement with Arts Council England which has been extended to 2026/27.
As in previous years, the largest areas of expenditure this year supported programme, staff and premises, all of which relate directly to the Charity’s key objectives of providing public access to contemporary visual art.
Museum and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief totalling £31,244 was claimed during the year for eligible exhibitions which took place in 2023/24. The relief is designed to support new exhibitions and the Charity’s Trustees directed some of the tax relief to the Exhibition Designated Fund to support exhibitions in future years. The fund made a net contribution of £32,541 to costs, with a closing balance of £32,741 at the year end.
The unrestricted general funds balance is £101,585 at the year end (2024: £130,901) which remains in line with the reserves policy.

Reserves policy
It is the policy of Site Gallery’s Board of Trustees to maintain financial reserves to mitigate the risks to the Charity and to invest in its strategic growth. The Charity maintains a Risk Register through which it monitors financial pressures, capital requirements and investment needs. The level of reserves are calculated accordingly.
Funds are transferred into savings accounts when cashflow allows to maximise interest income. The reserves policy along with the target level of reserves is reviewed annually by trustees.
Free Reserves
Free reserves (unrestricted funds not committed) equating to three months operational expenditure plus redundancy costs for staff and outstanding lease costs are maintained. The minimum level should be no less than £80,000 with the upper limit £120,000. It is accepted that this level may fluctuate and temporarily drop when the reserve is utilised. This year, the level of unrestricted reserves is £101,585.
Designated Reserves
-
Additional unrestricted funds designated by the board for specific purposes with balances at March 2025 are: e Exhibition designated fund - to mitigate risk of reduced income or higher costs for exhibitions, maintained through annual Museum and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief claims: £32,741
-
e Fixed Assets designated fund - to support depreciation costs: £68,448 * Strategic Development Fund to proactively manage risk and invest in the implementation of Site Gallery’s Strategic Plan: £30,000
Any allocation and spending of Reserve Funds will be discussed within the Finance Committee who will report and make recommendations to the Full Board of Trustees for discussion and approval.
In case of emergency the Finance Committee may recommend funds be released from Designated Funds for the purpose of dealing with said emergency which may not be related to the intended purpose of the designation.
Designated income is raised through earned income, revenue funding and tax relief claims. In the event of the organisation closing, these funds can be undesignated by the board to support wind up costs.
Restricted Funds
Restricted reserves are subject to conditions imposed by funders and expectations set by fundraising campaigns, and only used for the purpose funds are raised for. Trustees oversee the fundraising plan, setting targets annually and monitoring income raised at quarterly meetings.
Risk Management
The charity has developed systems to monitor and control risks to mitigate any impact they may have on the gallery in the future. A risk management plan is incorporated into its Strategic Plan and reviewed by the Nominations Committee every six months. Any areas of high risk are taken to the Board for discussion. Specific risk management plans are developed for major projects, and these are regularly reviewed at CE level and reported to the Trustees.

1.12 Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to
pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a
charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
As a charitable company, the charity is able to make a claim in relation to museums and exhibitions tax reliefs.
The tax credit is recognised in income in the accounts on an accruals basis, where the amounts can be reliably
measured by the date of approval of the accounts.
1.13 Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material
uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and
expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure
is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
1.14 Agency arrangements
----- End of picture text -----
The charity acts as agent in distributing funds in relation to funding to Sheffield Freelance Art and Cultural Workers. The receipts and subsequent disbursements are excluded from the statement of financial activities as the charity does not have control over the application of the funds. The balances held at the year end are disclosed in note 16.
