REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
The charity's objects are : |
1. To advance the education of the public in the subject of all forms of contemporary art. |
2. To promote the appreciation and understanding of art for the benefit of the public by providing support, assistance, maintenance and grants for museums and art galleries. |
The trustees confirm that they referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit by reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. |
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Further events promoting the charity's objects are being planned for the future. Charitable income amounted to £114,060 and at the balance sheet date reserves amounted to £48,371. The trustees are of the opinion that such reserves are sufficient to meet ongoing commitments as they fall due. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain funds at a level sufficient to enable the charity to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue its charitable actives in the future. |
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. |
The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
