REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


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 March 2024. 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
Objectives and aims
The advancement of public education in particular by encouraging the practice and disseminating knowledge of the arts and crafts in general but with a particular regard to contemporary painting, sculpture and other visual arts and to award scholarships, prizes or grants in aid to artists in need of training and financial assistance.

Significant activities
The main activities undertaken during the year in respect of the charitable company's objectives were the letting of studio space to artists and the exhibition of a wide range of artwork at the gallery. We were also able to run an excellent and popular children's workshop programme over the summer of 2023 targeted at children in receipt of Pupil Premium funding at local schools.

The year to March 2024 as a whole was very successful, somewhat against the trend for other local galleries, which saw more difficult trading conditions, reflecting pressures on disposable incomes. We saw a good increase in visitor numbers and sales of artwork were significantly up on the previous year.

We noted last year that we had started to seek funds for our proposed programme of major works; this process is under way with discussions with Cornwall Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, although it is bound to take time. We were successful in raising funds from the St Ives Town Deal, which enabled us to make very useful improvements to the layout of the shop area and to create much needed new staff welfare facilities.

As always, the trustees wish to record their particular gratitude to the Gallery's staff team for their continuing hard work and dedication; as always, we are also grateful to the Penwith Society of Arts and to a number of individual artists for generous donations that have helped to fund our improvement works.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
We ended the financial year to 31st March 2024 with a surplus in the year on unrestricted funds of £58,401 which was an excellent result and significantly higher than the surplus recorded in the previous year. This was primarily due to the growth in sales income from just over £100,000 to nearly £143,000 and an increase in rents received - a planned step up in rent levels had been postponed during the Covid pandemic. Donations remained stable at around £36,000, which was a good result in the context of the cost of living pressures on artists and our public.

Reserves policy
The charity's policy on the level of reserves is that they should provide at least three months operating costs for our staff team and the base overheads of maintaining the premises so that the organisation's core activities can continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The reserves at present are at a good level.

The Trustees feel confident that the future of the Gallery's core activities are secure and that our finances are on a secure footing.

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.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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. The Trustees meet regularly (either in person or by online meeting) to review the business of the organisation and to manage and support the staff team led by Julia Kerrison as the Gallery Manager.

The Trustees believe that the organisation is well-placed to make the most of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the arts in St Ives and we will continue to work with local partners such as the Penwith Society of Arts, Tate St Ives, St Ives School of Painting, the Borlase Smart John Wells Trust and the St Ives Society of Artists to benefit the communities of St Ives and Cornwall.

The Board is firmly committed to the principles of diversity and equal opportunities; we are also committed to improving the environmental impact of our work and our buildings.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
PENWITH GALLERIES LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Penwith Galleries Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
