| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Period 9 August 2024 to 31 August 2025 |
| 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 period 9 August 2024 to 31 August 2025. 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). |
| Without SHAPE Without FORM is an assembly of artists, thinkers and cultural practitioners committed to making moments of self-discovery accessible for everyone. Rooted in Sikh philosophical concepts, our contemporary artistic programme enables people to have meaningful conversations about the mind. |
| INCORPORATION |
| The charitable company was incorporated on 9 August 2024 . |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The objectives of the charity are, for public benefit, to advance the arts and education in arts, mainly but not exclusively by: |
| o Maintaining an art museum or art gallery |
| o Holding lectures, conferences, workshops, performances, and arts and crafts activities, and |
| o Publishing editorial content (including but not limited to books, articles, podcasts, and/or films). |
| The charity has been supported by donations from Guru Maneyo Granth Gurdwara, and has delivered a new art exhibition called Reflections. This is a collaborative exhibition of newly commissioned and recent works by London-based painter Jasmir Creed and Birmingham-based artist Roo Dhissou, working at the intersection of social justice and visual practice. Reflections will explore the themes of the individual, kinship and healing, while addressing the wider societal issues such as mental well-being and social fragmentation. Additionally, the charity has continued the Journey of the Mind exhibition which explores texts of the Sikh teachers and how, through these, the journey to understand the mind begins. It also traces how the mind battles against negative forces within, to find peace in troubled times through focused practice, community and selfless service. |
| Significant activities |
| Without SHAPE Without FORM has delivered numerous talks and lectures during the financial period. One such example is 'stillness in a world that never stops.' This talk was held at Modern Art Oxford and drew from wide-ranging creative, spiritual and cultural perspectives, to unpack the dual. |
| The (un)learn podcast has continued to grow in this financial period, with numerous publications online. The podcast series serves as a contemplative bridge between ancient spiritual wisdom and modern mental well-being. The series focuses on the transformative power of stripping away-unlearning the ego, societal conditioning, and mental habits that fuel anxiety and detachment. |
| 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. |

| Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Without Shape Without Form ('the Company') |
| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 9 August 2024 to 31 August 2025. |
| 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. |

| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

| The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in those non statutory financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
| Income |
| All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.Income from fund raising activities is accounted for on cash basis. |
| Expenditure |
| Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. |
| Taxation |
| The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. |
| Fund accounting |
| Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. |

| Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. |
| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
