It takes people from pLaces of significant challenge and vulnerability to stability through flexible I:1 support using Acceptance & Commitment Training (ACT) & motivational interviewing techniques. This provides a point of focus and encourages them to take responsibility for their personal self-development/mental wellbeing. The end goaL is to Identify their strengths, be more resilient and improve their skiLLs to stay well. During 2024 lan had over 350 contact with people taking part on the project. People said they appreciated not being tied to a set nurnber of sessions which gave them time to establish rapport allowing them to worktowards achieving the priorities at their own pace. As well as working alongside individuals, lan has also been able to organise groups activities such as the group cycle rides, a Christma5 meal and an activity day at Hill Holt Wood.

The project has been running for 5 years and funding received in August 2021 was due to end in July 2024. Following a significant amount of work by Lynsey and the team the project received £689,000 from The Lottery to expand the project over the next three years. In August 2024, Kate Edgar, Project Manager, and Graeme Willis, Development Worker, were joined by two new deveLopment workers, Emma Kilner and MoLlie Mitchell. This has allowed the team to increase the number of people that they support and they now work across the whole of LincoLnshire. In addition to the work that they do within HMP LincoLn, they are in discussions with HMP North Sea Camp to also begin working there. The people the team support often experience a multitude of complex issues including poor physicaL/mental health. unemployment and addictions requiring mentoring and advocacy. Over the last two years Bridging the Gap now provides group activities including Tai Chi and cooking, offering participants the opportunity to learn new skills. The team were aware of an increase in the number of people referred who had been convicted of a sexual offence, requiring the team to have an understanding of licence and orders that the participants were released from prison with. To increase their knowLedge in this area the team undertook specific training. They have also begun working with Stopso UK, a charity who specialise in treatment for perpetrators and survivors of sexuaL offending. During 2024 the team worked with 67 people; supporting individuals to set personalised; achievable goals empowering them to make lasting changes for themselves, their families and the wider community.

In addition, we received £2,327 from the Winter Pressure5 Fund through our partner agency, Community Connectors. This meant that with the cost-of-living crisis continuing to impact everyone in Lincoln, we were able to help those struggling to keep their homes warm for another winter. Laura put together energy saving packs containing an energy monitor pLug, LED light bulbs, a timer plug and a soLar charging bank. There was also the choice to add a cookbook with recipes for an air fryer, slow cooker, microwave or tinned food, which are alL cost effective and efficient ways to cook. Outcome Laura put together 50 of these packs and contacted the organisations she had previously connected with. Within three months all of the packs had been distributed, highlighting the need for support during these difficult financial times. nationalgrid lOcal￿1vin$2 Lloyds Bank Foundation England and Wales In March 2022, developmentplus was awarded a two year grant totalling £50,000 by Lloyds Bank Foundation EngLand and Wales to support deveLopment of the organisation's structure enabling further growth. Alongside the funding, the Foundation was able to provide taiLored development support from professional consuLtants. The support from LLoyds Bank Foundation England and Wales has enabLed us to deveLop organisational outcomes by using a Theory of Change approach to explore the impact achieved by each of the organisation's key services. Establishing outcomes for developmentpLus alongside our projects, ensures that we can confidently share the impact we have on everyone that comes through the charity, rather than just specific programmes. Over the last year, with the support from Lloyds Bank Foundation England and Wales, we have worked towards the introduction of Lamplight, a new organisation-wide client management system, which will not only collect specific project data but also our organisational outcomes as outlined above. Lynsey has also received support in applying for core funding resulting in successfuL funding from Garfield Weston with the option to apply again in 2025. This support has now come to an end but has left deveLopmentplus in a better place going forward. "building a future where every person thrives and no one just survives" LLOYDS BANK FOUNDATION Englayd Lumina Stuart CouLing, SociaL Enterprise Development Manger has been managing our social enterprise, Lumina. since it began in 2023 with the aim of building a business to fund the work that deveLopmentpLus does. The Lottery provided an initial fund of £20,000 to alLow time to undertake research and begin developing a network. They have since provided a further three years funding totalling £69,000 to continue buiLding the busines5. During the first half of the year we delivered some online and face to face wellbeing session5 for workplaces. In Spring, stuart hosted a work place retreat for Project Compass, wh ich received very positive feedback. We decided to plan a retreat day in the same space near Ruskington using the same format but for the general pubLic and called it ZENfest. Activities included mindfulness, foraging, drumming and a sound bath spread throughout the day. Attendees were able to enjoy a healthy Lunch provided by the venue. In addition, there were wellbeing market staLls open to the public. The main retreat sold out but the stalls were fairly quiet due to the poor weather. We then planned and hosted a Feel Good Festive Market at Sleaford Golf Club, we had 19 stalls offering a wide variety of holistic therapies, gifts and crafts. Both the market and ZENfest were successful, so these will be expanded on for 2025. During 2024, Lumina generated a modest income of £2,665. However, foLlowing the developments undertaken during the year, a higher income is anticipated in 2025. Lumina COMMUNITY FUND Neurotopia Iln 2024, our project Neurotopia continued to receive funding from the Evan Cornish Foundation with a grant of £5,977.

NEUROTOPIA LJ:COLN Li ncolnshTI-c )A' Poverty Truth Commission The Poverty Truth Commission in Lincoln began in September 2022 funded by a grant of £49,000 over two years from Localmotion Lincoln. The purpose of the project is to provide an opportunity for civic commissioner5 to work together with community commissioners, to identify areas where systemic change, such as accessibility, could benefit peopLe living in our area. Poverty Truth Commission -calMotion Alexandra and lan, have been supporting community cornmission to take part in the Poverty Truth Commission. Since Alexandra left developmentplus, the project has been Led solely by lan. Throughout the year several events have taken place to facilitate community commissioners to tell their stories. The group are currently planning a Lincoln Poverty Assembly for 2025. In addition, the group has heard about civic commissioners, roles and skills so that the commission can move forward into plotting and strategizing the changes that can be made. lan along with some comrnissioners, have attended several events in other areas to build connections with the other commissions. In September 2024, developmentplus received a further £25,300 for lan to continue taking part in the project until August 2027. Localmotion Rabbits, Warren During 2024, Laura Harris, DeveLopment Worker, began Rabbits, Warren, a green p roject that takes place on her allotment in Boultham Park. The project supports people by providing time outdoors, which has proven benefits for mental health, while also fostering friendships and expanding knowledge of the environment. In January, the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the Turning Point National Innovation Fund each provided £2,500 to begin the project. This enabled the group to undertake several activities, such as growing trees, f Lowers, fruit and vegetables. They have also completed an ecology survey of the plot. During 2025, it is hoped to purchase a shed large enough to facilitate creative activities. A total of 20 people have visited the plot at various points throughoutthe year; however, attendance tends to drop during poor weather and the winter months. OLI:COLN Develo en lus islered number 03275199 Re rt of the Trustees for the Yèar Endèd 31 December 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial positlon At the year end the charity held un￿Stricted reserves of £18.050 (2023. £44.6671 and restricted reseN&s of £220.068 (2023- £189,415). Total income received by the charity has increased thi5 year to £617,217 (2023: £535,018) and total expenditure has increased lo £613,181 (2023: £542,235}. The income includes monies r￿e1Ved as lead partner of projects alongside other charities. Reserves policy Developmentplus Is a project based Gharity where funding Is generally gained on a project by project basis. In order to ensure thal the impact of successful projects 15 maintsined and momentum continued, there is a need to carry a level of liquid reserves. The trustees also reGognise the importance of the effective Coryordinalion of the projects and that therè are other overall running costs of the charity which need to be included in reserves. Where possible the charity looks to cover a proportion of thes8 via their project funding bul the￿ is a risk that these may not always be met. The importance of cash flow and liquidity led to th8 slratsgic decision to sell the property held by the charity in 2017. This enabled the charity to realise cash4eserves from the fixed asset that did not meet the requirements of the charity. This decision incrèased the cash held by Ihe charity which assisled in the delivery of projects in accordance with the objectives and also covered some of the overheads of the charity. From this slrategic decision, the Iruslees assessed the level of risk thal the charity faces, notably the uncertainty of income beyond projects and to cover the operatin9 costs of the charity. They concluded, based on these risk5, that an appropriatè lev81 of raserves to hold would be 6 months of running costs. At the end of this period, the unrestricted reserves held were £18.050 ￿lch is b81ow the desired18vel. In order lo ensure the level of reserves is maintained. the project applications will include a proportion of these cosls where possible and the trustees are investigaling specific funding pots to cover these operations. The year end reslricted reserves include amounts relating to mulliple year grants due to the recognition criteria of projects in line with Ihe Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). The SORP requires Ihe charity to reGognise income when il is probable, quantifiable and there is enlillement to the funds which has m&ant that unconditional ftjndlng for multipl8 years has been recognised up front in ffijll. These funds will be expended in future years over the lrfe of the project. FUTURE PLANS Following a successful year. Developmentplus is committed to continuing its work across all active projects into 2025. With £172,670 in new fijnding secured for the 'Better Togethe￿ project, we will maintain and grow our programme of activity groups to support participants. The 'Bridging the Gap. project is set to expand over the next three years. thanks to a £689,044 grantfrom the Lottery, enabling us to reach more individuals and increase engagement year on y8ar. 'Project Compass, will continue lo provide vitsl support lo those sleeping rough, building on the generous donations, and funding received in 2024. We also anticipate increased income from our social antarprise. 'Lumina'. and plan lo build on the success of our 2024 events, such as those held at Sleaford Golf Club. The 'Povety Truth Commission, team is preparing to host a Lincoln Povety A55embly in 2025, following a year of activa engagement with commissioners.
