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.

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.
Laura Harris, provided support to the three charities by managing the referral process for
the entire programme.

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.

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

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.

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.

lan Enright, Development Worker. is a keen cyclist, and has continued to develop the
cycling element of the project enabling participants to take part in group rides and
inforrnation sessions. The group rides are held every other week and have been very
popular. They often cycLe out to Doddington Hall and back, with a stop for coffee and
cake. People taking part have been abLe to enjoy being in the fresh air as well as a sociaL
opportunity. 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. Again as with all of the projects there has
been an increase in referrals for people with rnore complex mental health concerns
meaning they are needed coaching for longer.

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.

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.

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.
ALongside this they have continued to offer I:1 coaching and mentoring particularLy for
those with complex mental health issues and those experiencing difficulties.

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.

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.

rt of Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The twstees who are also directors of Ihe chaiity for the purposes of the Ccrfnpanies Act 2006, present their report with
the financial statements of Ihe charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. 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 v￿th Ihe Financial Reporting S￿￿lards 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 advan￿rnent of educa11￿ indudirvJ promOt￿g 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 reSe￿eS. 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 a￿ayS 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 fa￿s, notably the un￿rtainty 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 appli￿lI0nS 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.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Future plans
Following the receipt of a Uoyds Foundation unrestr￿ted gran( we have had the opportunty to access som8 specialist
support, 2023 will see us work on a comprehensNe business plan that captures expected delivery for the next three
years. Key targets for the year indude the recruitment of a Developmerrt and Operations Manager thal will be reflected
in 8n increase in core costs for 2023. We are also hoping to wuil a Social Enterprise Development Manager to start
exploring new oppotlunities to drversfy our income. this will FN)peftJlty be fijnded via a Lottery Grant. Through the
specialist support offered by Lloyd5, developmentplus has been able to work on strengthening its purFM)se, airns and
objectives. This work will allow us to articulate ourselves muth dearer when it comes to Core Grant applications. 2023
will see us freeze on delivery projects, with just one programme looking for continuation funding, we hope to secure this
through a Mental Health and Wellbeing Cornmunity Investment Fund application. 2023 will focus on structure and
sustainability for the charty. with a view of expanding more through 2024.

Sinee your charitys gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must bè a member of a listed body. I can confim
that l am qualified to undertake the examination because l am a member of the Associatiiffi of Chartered Certffied
Acuuntanls, whith is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination.
because there have been payments to a trustee which is not pe￿nitted by the memorandun and artides of association of
the charitablè company and wrthout express pemiission from the Charity Commission.
The chanty appointed the Chvaf Executive Officer as Irustse in the year dating the appointrnenl as 15 March 2013 and
filing this Wlth Companies House on 8 Novemb8r 2023. A lemiinats.on of appointment was filed on 21 November 2023
the filing dats being noted as the date of the leminab.on of the appointrnent. This created a period from 1 January
2023 to 21 November 2023 where the trustee re￿Ned £39,9(KJ in relab.on to payments for their fole as Chief Exeojtive
Officer. The Memorandum and Articles of Association do not pemit any direclorltrustee to be employed or receive any
remuneration from the charitatrAe company.
The accounts disdose details ofthis in note 12.
I confirm that no other matters have come to my attentKJn in cOn￿tiOn wilh examinats'on giving me reasonable
¢ause to believe that in any material respecl-.
a(xJ)unting records were nol kept in respect of the Company as wuired by secb.on 386 of the 2006 Ad,. or
the accounts do not ac￿rd wlth those records., or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 A¢t other than any
