## **Arcadia Sculpture Centre Registered number: Trustees' Report**
**SC005119**
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Chair's report**
The charity consolidated it’s artist’s residency programme this year with six UK based artists utilising the accommodation and sculpture facilities. In total we received over sixty applications from all regions of the UK. Six artists were selected and allocated dates.
Four of the artists were recent graduates and two were mid-career artists with broad experience and extensive national and internation profiles.
The board felt that it was important to offer opportunities to emerging artists, but also to engage with established artists who have built a reputation in the UK art world with the benefit of raising the sculpture centres profile. The charity was awarded a £2,000 grant from the Thistle trust which was allocated to cover the artist’s expenditure during their stay.
The new artist’s cabin has been well received and provides ideal accommodation for visiting artists with its proximity to the studio and centre’s facilities.
The board’s focus this year was to expand the artist’s residency programme: this was reflected with a 100% increase on the previous year. Going forward we wish to encourage full time students to access the facilities during their summer holidays, allowing them continued development of their artistic practise and to gain experience working alongside more experienced artists.
The studio facilities have been used by several local artists to develop their creative practise, utilising the workspace and making use of the wide selection of tools and machinery available.
Visitor numbers steadily increased from both the local community and visitors to Scotland and the UK. We had requests to visit from overseas visitors from USA, France, Germany, Sweden and Spain.
A delegation from DZNE Bonn university in Germany visited the centre in the summer with the potential of exchange visits between the organisations discussed.
With the aim to further the educational aspect of the charity we had a visit from Lecturer head of Contemporary art practice for Diploma and SQA HND courses at Forth Valley College, Stirling. He visited the centre to discuss potential collaboration with a public art project for a group of up to 15 students for next year. This exciting development will enhance the educational aspect of the centre to further and promote educational art in Scotland.
Documentary director filmed several sequences at Arcadia for a new production to be aired on BBC Alba in 2026. We look forward with anticipation to see the finished programme that will include several aspects of the sculpture trail. A donation was made to Arcadia of £650 for filming.
## **Financial review**
The charity has continued this year to demonstrate an ability to generate funds with £1,995 in rental charges, and including donations, a total income of £2,645 was achieved. This income has covered all costs for the financial year. The board have established a financially sustainable organisation with clear objectives and a solid financial base to expand our activities over the coming years.

## **Arcadia Sculpture Centre**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Arcadia Sculpture centre**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention,
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
• to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulation, and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
