SummxrTr of the
'ear
2023124 broughi Ihe biggest challenge our organisaiion has faved since we first occupied ihe site ac Tower Sireel. Having been served
notice on the building, we prepared io relocate the sludios in May 2023. After a prolonged effort in 2022123, we successfully secured
two new buildiii&F￿-sh81ikIlI Mission and Marlborougyh House-to house over l 00 multidisciplinary artists.
L'liough va%tlJ ditfLfLnl in rnaiis ivays, IhL%L' two building% pi'ovidLd thL' 4paL'L' nLLdLd to aLLuinmodalL Our unlirL InunibLr.%hip.
Howei'er, the Inove came with a bittersweet realisatioll. Tower Street had become mor¢ than just a building. il was a horne that
bonded us together as a community of artists and supporters, rooted in the wider arts sector. Leaving behiiid the space that held our
colle¥tive history felt like severing tie5 with sometliiii¢T irrepla¥eable.
For Inany of u%. it %ccrncd unimdginublL to no longcr Lall Towci- Strcct OLir homL. It a plaLc fillLd witli joy and mcinories-. Ihc
warmth of brownies and coffee in the meinbers, rooin, chance encouiilers in the garden delaying your jouriiey hoine, iinproinptu
essions in the car park, and sunlit festivals in East Belfubl. We held on to hope-a lasl-rninute reprieve, a wealthy philanthropist lo
save Ihe day. Bul despite our wishes and efforlty, no such hero arrived.
And so, on May 5, 2023, with thc incrLdiblL gcncrosity and skill of what inusl bc the bcsl rLmoval coiiipany in tlic world, Foslcrs
Removals, we shaped up and shipped out.
Despite the heartbreak ot leavin&7 Tower Street, we quickly e%labli.%hed Trur%elve% iii our two new home%-niie in the city centre and one
on ihe Shanki11 Road. These spaces now represenl tl)e next chapter in our s¢ory. and ivhi le we continue io Inis5 the heart and soul of
Towcr Strcet, wc rcnydin LommittLd to fostering crcativily and eomniunity in our new IoLations.
The lead-up to oiir relocation, the move itself, and the seitling-in period have lakeii an enornious toll on our meinbers, staff, and
tru.%tees, The lallout was ditficuli. We lo%t vallied member% who%e pruclice% could not Atlord to wdil tor a new building lo be secured.
Our staff and Iruslees worked far beyond their capalily lo Imanage unforeseen challenoes and lo firefight on all fronls. Our Inembers
adapied as best they Lould, shoel)orniiig their pi'aLlices inio i'ooins ihdl often didii't iiie¢l Iheir needs. Along the way. we saw our
orkyai)isalional sliorlcoining>s laid bare.Y¢l. we are still here.
We continue to .4UPPOIt nearly l 00 artist%. We .4till believe in the trlln4torindtive power of art. We reniain committed to finding more
permanenl hoines, advoLaling for change for all ariists and arts organisalions. and building a stronger. Inore sustainable future.
The saddest part ot" this story is that, nearls, 18 months after our reloLalion, our former home ai Tower Street still sits boarded up and
enipiy.
Luokiii¥ ahead. we hupe ILTr build relationships with buildin¥ owners und or¥anisJtions Iliui vulue Lolleciive etfort, see the bigger
picture, and beliei'e in fairness-nol profit-as a measure of siiccess. Our partnei'ship witli Argyle Business Centre lias been a shining
example of this ethos. fhey offered us not .just resourLes biit generosity and support far beyond our eKpect&tions, helping secure
VDult's pi-esei)ce on Ihe Shallkill for many years to coine.
We Lontiiiue lo sellrLh for Inore permunent %PdLe%-¥ludi0s t.or drli%ls, reliearsal SPaLe.s, and plaL'e% to nidke thing% happen. Along the
way. we hope lo meet others who 51)¢1re our vision and values.
The deinands ot" our relocation rneant our events and activities were less freqLient. Much ot our energy was spent fixing, retixing,
sorting, lidyin17 and makiniy our new Spaces teel welcornins,. Even $0, the fact that we manag7ed to hold an). events al all is nothing
short ora miracle.
Amid this challenging time, we also faced the loss of one of our rn051 ¢berished member5. The beautiful Anne Quail passed away in
August 2023. Anne's ivisdom, warniih, and voice of reason were a cornerstone of our community. In moments of panic, she guided us
with her experience and rcniinded us to l ive lit.e to tlie fullest. Her words and spirit will forever inspire us.

Our rruslees. stat't", freelaiicers, and members have coiitiiiued to collaborate on buildingy orgyaiiisational capacity througvh successful

We ar¢ proud lo have built suLh a slroiig and dedicated team, fully invested in Vault's SULLess. Wilh this foundation, we have laid the
roundwork to secure additional Iii)ancial resources-botli fui)ded and s¢lf-g>¢neraled-lo gyi-ow our staft. and treelance teain iii the next
financial year.
Funding froill the Belfast City Council OIEanisalional Support Gi'ant has also allowed us lo conipensate fre¢lancers supporling PR
and communications, reLognising the importunLe of professional management for this i.'iial function. Previously, we relied heavily on
volui)leer eftoris, which was ui)suslaiiiable. Our PR team, coinprisingi Laura Nelion, Leo Boyd, and ,lonaihaii Brei)nan. have worked
tirelessly lo promote the work of Vauli and ils members.
Funding receii'ed in 202.3-24 supported inany other areas of our work:
Capital improveimenls io our buildiiigFs were supported by both the BCC OrbTani5ational Support Grant and ons?oing* tunding froin the
A&BNI Blueprini Programme.

As a result of these challenges, we closed the financial year with a deficit of £1 *,342. While we had suffiLient reserves to cover this
deticit, we have iinplenieiiled a co4t-control plaii for 2024-25 TO rebuild our reserrfes.
We are confident Il)al the financial challenges of 209?_24 were exceptional and primaril> due lo ihe exlraottlinary circumstances of

Private Benefit
Ti'usiees Ilial exliibiled Iheir work in the gollery did so as mernbers where all men)bers were permitted 10 do so under the guidance of
a non-trusiee curator. Trustees ai'ailed ot. studio space but thi5 is iiecessary as studio m¢inbers inusl be represeiited on the Board of
Trusiees and is iiicidental as Trusiees applied for and were assigned siiidio space in the san)e way as all oiher beneficiaries.
We have not undertdken llny maintenance or upgrades to buildings tlidt were not ets%entixl lor u4 lo carry out tor nornidl operation
and so the onlv pi'ivale benefit lo Ilie building owners was incidental.
