Better Together Better Together is a collaborative project working in partnership with Abbey Access Training and Green Synergy. The Project began in 2019 and received a further three years funding of £339,00 from The Lottery at the start of 2022 to be used across the whole project. developmentpLus receives the funds on behalf of the partnership and immediately distributes a share to the other two organisations. Therefore the outcomes required by The Lottery are reliant on all three partners fulfilling their part of the agreement. 2023 saw the partnership beginning the second year of this cycle of funding. deveLopmentpLus' element of the project is led by Clare Bryan, Lead Development Worker and supported by Stuart Couling, Development Worker until the end of July 2023 when Stuart moved to become the Social Enterprise Development Manger. Elliot Yeates then joined developmentplus to join Better Together. They work closeLy with staff from the partnership to provide I:1 mentoring support to participants to improve their weLlbeing, increase confidence and self esteem and feel more able to cope with day to day problems. To support this they are encouraged to take part in a range of activities incLuding cooking, art and wellbeing. During 2023 Clare has also introduced a swimming group on a Friday afternoon as well as Graeme Willis, Development Worker f rom the Bridging the Gap project introduced Tai Chi as an additionaL wellbeing activity. d&Jel1mentplus'" ikEE5: Each Wednesdaythe project offers alternate art and wellbeingsessions. The art element of the project had previously received funds from the Lincoln Lottery to contribute towards the cost of rnaterlal and or classes run by local artists. Atthe end of 2023 the Art Group became a Coop Community Champion with funds raised through their Boultham Park store over the winter period.

Bridging the Gap Bridging the Gap is a reducing reoffending project run by Kate Edgar, Lead DeveLopment Worker and Graeme Willis, DeveLopment Worker. The project originalLy started in May 2018 and in August 2021, the project received £259,666 new funding from the Lottery, which has ensured the work continues for three years. The project Is based in Lincoln and covers a 35 rnile radius of our offices, stretching f rom Grimsby down to Grantham. The Bridging the Gap team works with individuaLs who have been involved in the criminal justice system within the Last two years. This can range from receiving a community order for minor offences, to repeat offenders who have become institutionalised, to those who have senied substantial sentence for major crimes. The project is due to end in August 2023 and disGussions have begun to seek further funding for this vital work. By the end of the 2nd year, the project had received 56 referrals. Not all referrals cou Id be accepted, due to capacity at the time, complexity of the referraLs, location and getting a manageable mix of caseloads. Also some of those referred were not able to take part due to their chaotic lifestyles, trust issues or complexity of conditions. However out of the 56 referrals 48 people went on to be supported by the project. The team continued to see complexity in those referred to them. Almost 80% of people supported have some form of neurodiversity, often un-diagnosed and for which they have had little or no support. For those that have a diagnosis the support is minimal, if any. These issues continued to be coupled with compLex trauma, challenging behaviours or addictions. There has also been an increase in the number of sex offenders (SO'51 referred to the project. There is a lack of provision for this cohort after leaving prison or whilst on community sentences, particularly in the Lincoln area. About 95% of this group have either a learning difficulty or have some form of neurodiversity. This is particularly the case with those that have committed internet based offences. Supporting these participants through understanding their licence's and orders can be challenging. A lot of mediation takes place between the participant and the other agencies that work with them to help them find a way to abide by the order but still live a life and continue to make progress.

Cooking on a Budget At the end of 2022 The Lottery provided deve(opmentplus with additional funding of £25920 spread over the next two years to support the cost of living crisis . Millions of people are having to make the choice between heating and eating, with many people skipping meals and cooking less to save money. Together with our partner agencies Abbey Access, Green Synergy and Mint Lane Cafe we have been able to develop a programme of courses to help people cook healthy, nutritious meals for less. This is specifically for those attending our Better Together and Bridging the Gap projects. There are three different opportunities on offer that individuals can access depending on their own personaL needs. Green Synergy are providing an outdoor cooking opportunity, specific s(ow cooker and microwave cooking on a budget through Abbey Access and a new partnerjoining this element - Mint Lane, who will be offering a cooking school. AIL of these have the crucial element of social eating, bringing people together to share food at the end of each session.

Project Compass Project Compass is a rough sleeper advocacy service, supporting and enabling individuals to access provision within the City of Lincoln. in addition they provide a safe space to rest, hot and cold drinks, an opportunity for a wash, clothing and phone charging. 2023 is the second year of funding from both the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington and the Tudor Trust who had committed combined funding of £180,00 over the three year period. 2023 proved to be an exceptionaLly busy year for the project with the demand for the service i ncreasing due the lack of housing in the City. Thi5 has made it necessary to increase the team so in addition to Becky Frost, Lead Development Worker, Sue Oliver and Libby Liberty, Development Workers, the team now also incLudes Caylie Jago and Andy Penny. They have also been supported by Vicky Henderson who had been voLunteering but became a paid member ofthe team in December 2023. In June 2023 the lease expired on the Rosemary Lane property and the seniice moved to a new build ing on the High Street. This was a challenging period for the CEO and the tearn as many landlords were reluctant to rent a property due to the nature of the work Project Compass undertakes. However, the move has aLlowed the project to grow as the new building ha5 much more space for staff and guest including a private office to compLete assessments with individuaLs. This room also provides a confidential clinic space for the Holistic Health for the Homele55 nurses who attend to offer treatment to guests as weLI as run a number of cLinics including Hep C clinic, sexual health clinic and fLu and covid vaccination cLinics. Winter Pressure Fund 2023 Att•Trdan¢es Attendanc•s In October 2023 the NHS Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) commissioned Project Compass to continue their support over the winter period for the next 2-5 years. They provided funding of £57272.02 for the period October 2023-March 2024. This was to provide assistance with staffing cost, winter ready items and to continue the Countywlde scoping exercise.

MENSS GROUP ITPS ABOUT CMOICE CAEATIVITV FREINDSHip4 AND HE CONNECTIONS YRTE A. TIE This men's peer support group was initially developed to reduce loneliness and isolation by taking part in creative activities including music and arts. It is weLI known that being creative can be make a positive contribution to a person's heaLth and welLbeing. Also as an opportunity to signpost people to additional forms of support including other developmentplus projects. The project was led by Andy Penny? Development Worker, with invaluable support from volunteer, Vicky Henderson. In addition the funding has provided an opportunity to invlte guest artist to share their skills such as cookingi DJ and scratching. They were also able to access a studio at the YMCA to record their work. In addition, Andy created a Dropbox project via Soundcloud where peoplewere are able to share their creativity from home. This was particularly important for people that did not feel comfortable being part of a group. OUTCOMES Number of people who accessed the project.

The Pitch The Pitch began in April 2021 and was an weekly group which provided a safe, informal space for rnen to connect and socialise. Additional funding of £8935 check figure was secured in May 2022 from Suicide Prevention Fund via Shine which allowed the project to continue until March 2023. The project met every Thursday afternoon and was led by Kate Edgar and lan Enright, Development Workers. Some weeks they group met at Bridge CentraL to take part in activities incLudi ng pLaying pool, games, quizzes, as well as being able to have a chat and a coffee with other members of the group. '7IIIWG *IID tyI¥TkOWIIG SXIiiS , Also a number of trips were arranged including a lively trip to the Christmas market. Afterwards some of the group said without the support from the project they would not have felt comfortable going due to anxiety and other issues. OUTCOMES During the fourth quarter of the project and due to it ending in March 2023 both Kate, lan and the group members feLt that it would not be appropriate to take any more referraLs. So they continued as a closed group and with support many of the members have continued to meet at Bridge Central every Thursday as an independent group. Celebration The guys at The Pitch men's group celebrated the end of the project with music, food and lots of laugh5. Within the group there were some participants with complex mental health issues as well as some with an element of risk due to historical offences. This Meant that some of the initial objectives were not appropriate. Instead Kate and lan aLlowed the project to grow organically, led by the needs of those that attended. This meant that the project did not achieve its original target but the fact that the group has continued to meet suggests that it has been very su ccessfuL. Lincolnshire.: Shine NH5

In September with the support of Cycling UK some of the group took part in group cycle leaders training. As with all of our projects there has been a growing demand for our services with an increased number of referrals. For STEPS this has meant that with support from Shine and referrers lan has had to introduce a waiting List.

Lloyds Bank Foundation England and Wales In March 2022 developmentplus was awarded a two year grant totalling £50,000 by Ltoyds Bank Foundation EngLand and Wales to deveLop the organisation's structure to enable further growth. Alongside the funding, the Foundation were able to provide tailored development support through a number of consultants. The work began with business planning sessions for staff and Trustees facilitated by Adrian Masters. This was an opportunity to revisit our vision, mission, aims and objectives. We also deveLoped a Purpose Statement- -building a future where every person thrives and no onejust survives" In addition we were able to look at our delivery aspirations and whether growth was something that we wished to consider. FolLowing this a funding plan was developed to go alongside the business plan. We then worked on a Theory of Change for developrnentplus led by Anne-marie Ainger. This was a process that looked at the organisation as a whole rather than individual projects. From this we were able to develop a set of outcomes that can be used to monitor projects throughout the year, promote the organisations successes and as part of core of funding bids. In order to collate this information, we are being supported by Lloyds to work with 'Lamplight' a database company to create a tailored data collection process that will allow us to track both project outcomes and those set by ourselves. Another element of the work with Lloyds has been the opportunity for Lynsey to receive support from James Kirkpatrick to identify core funders and submit bids for core cost f unding which has been an ongoing challenge.

Lumina As part of the work that we have undertaken through Lloyds to develop our business plan it was acknowledged that we had to diversify our income. Lynsey Collinson, CEO had completed a Trading and Sustainability Course as part of her ongoing professional development and as part of that explored opportunities including creating a social enterprise. Over the last two years developmentplus has continued to expand on its Health and Wellbeing offer, branching out into areas such as mindfulness, alternate therapies such as sound baths, specific wellbeing focused workshops on sleep and nutrition and pod casts. In order to expLore this opportunity further an uplift bid was submitted to the Lottery as part of the Bridging the Gap funding. This was successful providing £25,296, aLlowing u5 to create the post of Social Enterprise Development Manager that WILI take the initial idea and start the deveLopment and delivery process. The first year provided the opportunity to have the space to talk to potential partners including local authorities, local businesses and other third sector organisations as well as individuals who would be willing to pay for this service. With this in mind, Stuart Couling, previousLy a development worker, has been employed to take on this role. Stuart has a weaLth of experience in the small business sector and delivery skills in the welLbeing environment. Over the last year Stuart has met with a number of p055ible organisations including the National Trust to explore ways that he can support their wellbeing packages to staff. He has now held a number of workplace wetlbeing sessions online, in person and as part of team meetings gathering feedback along the way to understand the needs of this new client group. He is currently expLoring team wellbeing days and retreats in the local countryside. Lumina COMMUNITY FUND
Poverty Truth Commission Poverty Truth Commission Localmotion Localmotion, funded by six independent funders, is a movement to bring people, organisations and institutions together to pool resources to benefit communities in six places across the UK incLuding Lincoln. LocaLMotion Lincoln is currently represented by a core group of individuaLs from the public, private and not-for profit sector, supported by a wider network locally and nationalLy. Our CEO, Lynsey Collinson represents developmentplus on this group. The Poverty Truth Commission in Lincoln began in September 2022 funded by a grant of £49,000 over two years from Localmotion Lincoln. Alexandra Chambers and lan Enright, Development Workers have been working alongside those taking part in Poverty Truth Commission. Throughout the year a number of story telling events have taken place allowing community commissioners to share their experiences with the civic commissioners and Alexandra and lan have supported the community commissioners through this process.

Lincoln Warm Home Scheme With the increasing costs associated with both fuel and the cost of living, vuLnerable people are struggLing even more to purchase those items that may help in reducing f uel bills and keeping warm. Through our own projects, we have seen an increase in demand for mentoring support due to mental health being impacted by the cost of Living and fuel crisis. We were aware that food bank referrals across the City had risen enormousLy, with one recording 85 in just one day. To be able to offer some support in addressing these challenges developmentplus submitted a bid for funding from the National Grid Community Matters Fund. This was successf UL and provided £19663 over two years to enable us to purchase a range of products to create warm packs to distribute to people struggling to keep their homes warm. Laura Harris, Project Administrator, purchased items that included radiator bleed keys, radiator reflective foil, window draft excluder tape, blankets, thermal curtains as well as personal care items. In addition, people were able to choose a cookery book, either Air Fryer Cookbook, Microwave Meals, Slow Cooker Favourites or Tin Can Cook. These options all provided people with recipes that would hopefully allow them to cook more economically. Laura then worked with partner agencies and established warm banks across the City to create a referral and collection process to enable the packs to be collected easily. lo make ' la5ly and affordable ll&15?

Neurotopia Alexandra Chambers, Development Worker, had previously supported one of our STEPS projects when she discovered that many of the participants were either diagnosed autisticl ADH D or otherwise strongly suspected and struggling without a diagnosis. ALL these individuals had experienced difficulties from childhood and had found that support for their specific needs was Lacking, and this had continued into aduLthood. We have recognised there are gaps within the City of Lincoln in providing much needed advice and education for individuals and families supporting youngsters with no diagnosis. In October 2023 Evan Cornish Foundation provided funding of £5977to pilot the Neurotopia, is a neurodivergent led neurodivergent support hub here in Lincoln UK. This allowed Alexandra to develop a hub for I:1 support for neurodivergent aduLts and parents of neurodivergent chiLdren. This is across the neurodivergent spectrum, primarily autistic and ADHD, however, all neurodivergents seeking support are welcome. She provides a holistic coaching approach in the community and can help with many things incLuding diagnosis support, advocacy, executive functioning difficulties, advice & signposting. As well as offering assistance with evidence gathering using the Early Years Foundation (EYFS) framework, Education, Health and Care Plan IEHCP) related issues, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living AILowance (DLA) forms. Also avaiLabLe are headed letters/ emails outlining and addressing any concerns to GP/schooLs, doctors, appointments and school appointments. In addition, Alexandra is also planning to provide 'Understanding Neurodiversity, training for schools, employers, groups and more. She had previously had the opportunity to triaL workshop sessions for adults receiving some excellent feedback. The response to the project has been so successful that Alexandra has now had to operate a waiting list. NEUROTOPIA tt¢r&Ntrsew Hub EVAN CORNISH FOUNDATION

The truslees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporb"ng ty Chariiies.. Statement of Recommended PrarAice applicab18 to charities preparing their accounts in accordance vth Ihe Financial Reporting Slards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) {8ff8ctive l January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aim8 The objects of the charity as set out in its governing thcument are: Thè relief of povety induding assisting people to ffind employment and to reduce d8bt The advanrnent of educa11 indudirvJ promOtg encourag'ng training a view to gaining employment Other charitsble purposes benefi¢ial to the mmunty induding the reduction of critrE and the enhancement of community safety. Public benefit In deciding on the activities of the charity the trustees have had due regard of the Chaiity Commissions guidance on public benefit and have complied with their duty in section 4 of the 2011 Charities Ad. STRATEGIC REPORT Flnanclal position At the year end the tharity held unrestricted reserves of £44.667 {2022'. £41,344) and Stricted reserves of £189,415 {2022'. £199,955). Total incom8 received by the Ghaiity has tncreased this year to £535,018 (2022.. £534.5291 and total expenditure has increased to £542,235 {2022.' £422.452). The income includes monies received as lead partner of projects alongside other charities. Reserves policy Developmenlplus is a project based charity where fvnding is generally gayied on a proje by PToject basis. In order to ensure that Ihe impact of sur£essful projects is maintained and momentum continued. there is a need to carry a level of liquid reSeeS. The trustees also recognise the importance of the effedive co-ordination of the projects and that there are other overall running costs of the charity which need lo be included in reserves. whe possible the charity looks to cover a proportion of these via their project funding but there is a risk Ihat these may not aayS be met. The irnportance of cash flow and liquidity led lo the strategic deasion to sell the property held by the charity in 2017. This enabled th8 chanty lo realise cash-reserves from the fjxed asset that did not meet the requirements of the charity. This decision increased Ihe cash held by the chartty which assisted in the delivery of projects in accordance with the objecttves and also covered some of the ovetheads of the charity. From this strategiG deasion. the trustees assessed the level of risk that the charity fas, notably the unrtainty of income beyond projects and lo cover the operating cosls of the charity. They conduded. based on these risks, that an appropriate level of reserves to hold would 6 months of nmning cosls. At Ihe 8nd of this period, the unrestricted reserves held were £44.667 which is below the desir¥ level. In order lo ensure the level of reserves is maintsined, the projeLI applilI0nS will include a proporbon of these costs where possible and the truslees are investigating specffjic funding pots to cover these operations. The year end restricted reserves indude amounts relating to multiple year grants e to the recognition criteria of projects in line with the Statement of Recommended Practice {SORP). The SORP requires the charity lo r8cognise income when ¢t is probable, quanttfiable and there is entttlement to the funds which has meant that unconditional fvnding for multiple years has been recognised up front in full. These funds will be expended in future yeats over the lrfe of the project. Page 13
