Togelher lye Can (JVHS JnlegrA¢ed Care Board, ICB)
Together We Can. TWC. is a steering group to voice the concerns of our members of the CUJTent mental health
services linked to the Leeds Mental Health Strategy aims. TWC provides user - led solutions and innovation to
improve the intended deliverables of the Mental Health Strategi, to the mental health service users within their
communities and within primary care and secondary care.
LIP has a strong membership at the regular monthly meetings of TWC.
LIP does invest in the TWC meetings to develop and train meTnbers to engage in other work5treaTn5 and engage
or contribute to the Mental Heal Partnership Board and Share with the Community Health Transforniation
programme.
We engaged and explored several topics. from getting involved. exploring Trauvna with emphasi5 on Child
Sexual Abuse: what is meant to live in a Mentally Healthy City. a workshop on Resilience, the impact of
surroundings and venue for mental health appointsnents. LIP held discussions and asked if mental health
inequalities been reduced,
had the gap between mental healih support services been closed and has the disparity between physical and
mental health been resolved.
Members were very concerned about the wording in the mission statement of the Leeds 2020 - 2025 Mental
Health Strategy and how it relaied to them. Members were concerned of the lack of compassion shown at
assessments and appointments, they felt ihat the staff were overstretched to deliver support.
Members did not report that the gap between services had narrowed. that there were breakdowns in
communications between services and a revolving door system placing members back in long waiting times to
be seen.
TWC delivered a full day event on STIGMA in October facilitated by Cllr Sharon Burke.
It was an immersive and uplifting experience for all and a booklet was produced from one of the activities on
Stigma written by the attendees. The booklet is very insi2htful perspective of our service users.
Going forward the contract with the IBC h&5 closed. as the NHS work has been absorbed into the future work of
Community Mental Health Transfonnation.
LIP will continue to facilitate TWC engagement as it believes that TWC is the corner stone of our work and
engagement with members.

Leeds City Council, LCC, Aduli Social Care
Leeds Involving People, LIP is active in three main Projects-
The Better Lives Board, BLB
Forum for Race Equality in Social Care and Health. FRESH
Leeds Deaf Action Forum, DEAForum
BLB
Board meetings are held bi-monthly with presentation from the Jrd sector organisations, LIP'S service users and
representatives from LCC, Adult Social Care.
Topics covered and discussed were: an update on the assurances for the Care Quality Commission, CQC and the
Leeds Local Account development. Adults and Health Digiial Plan- Keeping Well, Age Friendly progress
update, and the Adult Social Care plan; Belter Infonnalion and Access and a report back from the
Communication sulFcommittee: tackling Poverty and Inequality.. providing clear inforniation on support with a
focus on winter; a workshop on how to work as a Board and Direct payments.
The breadth of engagement ￿'1th Adult Social Care is considerable. The main issue arising from feedback from
all the meetings w'as easier access for service users to infonnation and being aware of options available for all
services. People, new to Adult Social Care. found it very difficulL at fwsL to comprehend the system. We were
infornied by service users that the benefits of Direct Payment to support individuals to c(Fordinate their own
care support to their own needs could be liberating.
FRESH
LIP Th'orked jointly with Adult Social Care on equality within a range of different 5ervice5. The di5cussion5 have
moved on to talk just about equality but to bringing about equity for individuals and a more person-centred
approach by Adult Social Care.
Topics discu55ed were- accessing GP services, workforce rdce equality and aging well, talking about dying,
trauma, historic and cultural: specific to FRESH members. and ￿hat come5 under the remit of Social Care.
Two extra events took place, one in November for a CQC inspeaion preparation on Housing Care and Home
Care Extra.
The seconds special event took place in March to celebrate )2 years of FRESH.
Ho￿. to access information and options available has been a theme throughout.
Not everyone has access nor able to use the internei bui finding the key ￿'OrdS to access detailed inforn)ation
was not readily available. Greater use of the LCC Hubs in Libraries or community centres to provide
inforniation or guide members to where they could access inforniation h&s been a huge progress.
DEAForum
Members of the DEAForum come from the Leeds Deaf Community and the purpose is for the DEAForum to
raise concerns and action improvement of services for those Deaf and hard of hearing.
Topics focussed on understanding the Leeds Local Plan. accessing GP Services wheii the instruction is to phone
in to make an appointment to be seen. Ihe Green Doctor. proposed changes with Community Mental Health
Services, an update on telecare and updating Ihe Tern)s of Reference and rules of the DEAFowm.
Main issues raised by DEAForum members has been improving access to primary. care services, specifically GP
services and offering altemative methods of communications to access services. LIP recommends that surgeries
or services have a text relay system to allow. requesls for appointments and the expansion of Sign Live
availability. Training of staff of how to use Sign Live would help as w'ould maintaining the ipads in good
working order. This puts total reliance on smart phones that not everyone can afford nor use without some
instruction particularly when English is not the first language and meanings get lost in translation.

Menlol Health Collaboralive
The Collaborative 15 a group of key stakeholder5 with the aim of opening up conversations about mental health
involving every'one acr055 the system in Leeds from those commissioning and providing support to those
accessing support. The intention is to bring about change with the goal of improving mental health and
wellbeing for the people of Leeds.
LIP have ensured representation at a range of diffe￿nt meetings and projects undertaken in this financial year.
e.g. Youth Justice, ￿'orkIng with 2 groups of young offenders io find out what support they needed.
A survey was cfrproduced for all staff and young offenders within the system.
GP access, continuing to work on improving access to GP surgeries for all.
Training members to ensure they were prepared and equipped with the necessary skills required to be involved.
The Li5¢ening Projecl
LIP continues to facilitate a series of events to gather inforn)ation about why certain communities were not
accessing Social Care for the Listening Project.
Fundamentally and repeatedly engagement reported poor communication, not knowing how to access
inforn]ation, dlfficulty navigating the LCC ￿'ebsIte if the key words to navigate are not known, or not
comprehending the language. It ￿'aS reporled thal the words quoted of the services did not match what members
were experiencing at the point of deliver!. LIP has provided feedback that many citizens do not realise that
Adult Social Care is delivered by LCC and not the NHS. The website states that there may be a cost when in
most cases there is a cost. Overwhelmingl). people would prefer to speak to an infonned person and rather than
being told the answer to a question is not known being reassured that an answer or response would be sought.
Other key themes were: not understanding what Adult Social Care is or offers, feeling ashamed or embarrassed
to ask for help, fear of cultural need5 not being recognised by the services, language and accessibility barriers.
The Visible Group
LIP facilitates the Visible Leadership Reference Group and have representation on the Visible Steering Group.
Visible is made up of survivors of child sexual abuse.
They undertake the work to improve the health and wellbeing for other services by explaining to service
providers how to engage, treat and be a￿.are of upsetting trigger points or actions at appointments.
They have produced podcast guides, new'letters and made connections with other groups to increase the
diversity of involvement in the Reference Group.
Visible have increased the frequency of their Reference GTOUP meetings and have plans to widen access and
their work in the near future.

Leeds lllvolving People
Trustees, Report
Ca5hflow risk
The charitv's activities expose li primaril). to the financial risks of changes in foreigi) currency exchange rates
and inierest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange foThard contracts and interest rate S￿..ap contracts to hedge
these exposures.
Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at r￿ed rale to ensure certainty of cash flows.
Credit risk
The charity's principal financial assets are bank balances and Cash. trade and other receivables. and investments.
The charitv's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance
sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impainnent is made where there is an
identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the
cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instnllnents is limited because the counterparties are
banks with high credit-ratings assigned by inlemational credil-rating agencies.
The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of
counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future
developments, the charitv uses a mixture of long-terni and short-terni debt finance.
Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial
statements.

recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset 15 deferred, it is
recognised as deferred income.

Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services perfonned in the ordinary
course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the trdnsaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest metho(L less provision for impainnent. A provision for the impainnent of trade
debtors is estsblished when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due
according to the original tenns of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits. and other short-tenn highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of
change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for good5 or Services that have been acquired IT] the Ordinary course of
business from suppliers. Accounts payable are cla55ified as cu￿ent liabilities if the charity doe5 not have an
unconditional riJt, at the end of the reporting period. to defer settletnent of the creditor for at least twelve
months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional riJt to defer settlement for at least twelve months
after the reporting date, they are presented as non-CUTrent liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value. net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing
borrO￿.1ngs are subsequently carried at amortised cost. with the difference between the proceeds, net of
transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being re¢ognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial
Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable
and similar charges.
Borrom'ings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Foreign exchange
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rale of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominaied in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of
exchange prevailing at that date.
The results of overseas operations are translated at the averdge rdtes of exchange during the period and their
balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation of the
opening net assets and results of overseas operations are reported in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).
Other exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they
arise except for-
l) exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign cU￿encY risks (see above)-
2) exchange difference5 arising on gains OT losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in other
comprehensive income. and
3) in the case of the Consolidated financial statements. exchange differences on monetary Items receivable from
or payable to a foreign operation for ￿'bich settlemeni is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming
part of the net investment in the foreign operation). which are recognised in other comprehensive income and
reported under equity.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of
the objectives of the charity.
Pensions and other post retiremertt obligations
The charity operates a defined contribuiion pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed
contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further
contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to
employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are
due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service. the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
clas5ificalion
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recogni5ed when the charity become5 a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of
the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognilion and measurement
All financial assets and liabililies are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except
for those financial assets classified as ai fair value through profit or loss, M".hich are initially 1￿CasUred at fair
value (which is nornlally the transadion price excluding transaciion costs). unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction. If an arrangement constitules a financing transaction. the financial asset or financial
liability is measured at the present value of the fuiure payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a
similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there
exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognlsed amounis and the charity intends either to settle on a
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flom's from the
rinancial asset expire or are settled. b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset. or c) the charity. despite having retained some, but not all,
significant risks and rew'ards of ownership. has transfe￿ed control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract 15 discharged, cancelled
or expires.

Debl instruments
Debt instruments ￿'hICh meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method:
(a) The contractual retum to the holder is (i) a fixed amounl- {ii) a positive r￿ed rdte or a positive variable rate;
or (iii) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rdte and a positive variable rdte.
(b) The contract may provide for repaymenls of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be
linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt
instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leverdged.
(c) The contract may provide for a deterniinable variation of the return to the holder during the life of the
instrument, provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future
events other than ( l) a change of a contractual variable rate- (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration
of the issuer- (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law;
or (li) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a).
(d) There is no contractual provision that could. by its tern15. result in the holder105ing the principal amount or
any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.
(e) Contractual provisions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or pennit the holder to put it back to
the issuer before maiurity are not contingent on fulure events. other than to protect the holder against the credit
deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer. or lo protect the holder or issuer against Changes
in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law.
(fj Contractual provisions may pennit the extension of the terni of the debt instrument. provided that the retu
to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended tem) satisfy the conditions of
paragraphs (a) to (c).
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable M'ithin one year on initial recognition and which
meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounled amount of the cash or other consideration expected
to be paid or received. net of impainnent.
With the exception of some hedoing instruments, other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost
(which may be nil) less impainnent.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares
are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairnient.
Investments in 5ub5idiarie5 and associates are vneasured at cost le55 impairnient. For investments in subsidiaries
acquired for consideration including the i55ue of share5 qualifying for merger relief, c05t is measured by
reference to the non]inal value ol the shares i55ued plus fair value of other consideration. Any pretnium is
ignored.

Derivalivefinancial inslruments
The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate
movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derlvatives are initially recognlsed at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in
statement of financial activiiies immedialely unless the derivative is designaied and effective as a hedging
instrument, in which event the liming of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on the
nature of the hedge relationship.
Fair value measuremenl
The best evldence of fair value is a quoted price for an idenlical asset in an active market. When quoted prices
are unavailable. the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as
there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the
transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are
not a good estimate of fair value. the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
