BLUE SKY TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2022.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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).

1. Objectives and Activities

The charity seeks to support and connect people living with HIV to improve health and wellbeing. It also raises awareness of HIV to reduce HIV stigma and discrimination and empowers young people to make safe and healthy relationship choices through its Think For Yourself project. They serve the geographical areas of Tyne & Wear, Northumberland, Durham and Cumbria.

The charity’s activities are aimed at benefiting the public as follows:

(1) One-to-One Support Services: Since 1992, staff and volunteers have provided personalised support to people living with HIV in their own homes and in the community. Support is aimed at helping people come to terms with an HIV diagnosis, boosting confidence, developing self-management skills and improving health and wellbeing. Peer mentors form a crucial part of this service, providing timely interventions that strengthen resilience and give hope for the future.

(2) Peer Support: Interaction with others who are coping with similar life challenges can represent a huge step toward reintegration for those affected by HIV. Blue Sky Trust host a thriving HIV community that connects people through a variety of support groups, workshops, special interest groups and trips in a safe and confidential environment to develop friendships, learn new skills and become confident and equipped for life with HIV.

(3) Personal Development: Blue Sky Trust provide workshops, newsletters and webinars on topics such as mental wellbeing, knowing your rights and HIV updates to educate and support the personal development of people living with HIV.

(4) Volunteering: Blue Sky Trust provide a range of opportunities, predominantly for people living with HIV, to participate in and develop the projects at Blue Sky Trust. This includes peer mentoring, delivering training, sharing their stories, running peer support groups, improving our service, developing resources and taking part in our stigma taskforce. Through participation, volunteers develop confidence, knowledge and skills.

(6) Mental Wellbeing Project: the charity seeks to minimise the negative impact of HIV (and Covid-19) on the mental health of people living with HIV through timely interventions that educate, support and connect people.

(7) Empowering Members Project: through initiatives such as a Stigma Taskforce, Blue Sky Trust mobilise people living with HIV, as well as members of the public, to challenge HIV myths, stigma and discrimination through campaigns, events and training. They also ensure people living with HIV are 'heard' through

encouraging contributions to research and consultations as well as sharing their stories through social media and other outlets.

(8) Relationship and Sex Education: Think For Yourself deliver bespoke educational sessions that empower young people with the information, skills, confidence and resilience to make safe and healthy choices about sex and relationships. The education addresses risk-taking behaviour with a focus on the safe use of media and technology. These are delivered in schools and youth organisations.

2. Achievements and Performance

Achievements in 2021-22

Blue Sky Trust supported and connected 165 people living with HIV, with 52 new referrals compared to 35 the previous year.

100+ people received individualised support for their needs, the most common of which were around isolation, mental health, substance misuse or disengaging from treatment and care. 389 volunteer-led one to one sessions took place, supporting 25 individuals.

372 people were reached through our HIV awareness sessions and events and 1058 children received HIV lessons in schools.

Courses and webinars for people living with HIV this year included:

There were 238 opportunities for people living with HIV to come together for support, friendship and learning.

Our members say:

“BST is my life, I wouldn't be here without you, thank you”

“Blue Sky don’t judge us, you can be really how you feel, if you want to cry you can cry and if you want to laugh, you can laugh”

“You came along and supported me and now I feel loved and safe"

“BST is the best place to come and laugh, rest and relax"

"The training session really opened my eyes to HIV and I feel more confident and knowledgeable"

Plans for 2022-23

Blue Sky Trust support the HIV Commission's goal to end HIV transmissions by 2030. Therefore, they will continue to support and connect people living with HIV with the aim of encouraging adherence to HIV medication and improved wellbeing and self-management. They will also work with colleagues to support people who are not-adhering to medication or not engaging with healthcare. They will also contribute to fast track city work to reduce new infections.

Blue Sky Trust will also carry out a survey of its members, to better understand the prevalence and impact of stigma and work alongside colleagues to raise awareness of stigma and plan interventions that will reduce sigma and the impact of stigma for our members.

Blue Sky Trust will be celebrating its 30[th] year and we will bring together our HIV community and those who work alongside and support Blue Sky Trust to celebrate!

4. Structure, Governance and Management

Governing documents

Blue Sky Trust is a registered charity, number 1068701, registered 17 March 1998 and governed by a Declaration of Trust dated 12 March 1998.

Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are appointed by a resolution of the Trustees.

Organisation

The Trustees meet with management every six to eight weeks to review policy, monitor performance and consider future plans. All new ventures and strategic decisions are reviewed to ensure public benefit requirements are met and are approved by the Trustees before being implemented. Regular advice and guidance is given to management by Dr McIlveen, but generally day-to-day decisions are made by management with regard to current projects and activities.

Risk management

Major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks. The charity continues to seek funding from a wider variety of sources, including income generation, to minimise risks associated with major funding being withdrawn or significantly reduced. Risks associated with COVID-19 are under constant review including their impact on finances, services and workforce.

6. Financial Review

Blue Sky Trust is primarily funded by grants and contracts. The total income for the year was £219,266 (2021:£213,652). This income is allocated across respective funds on the Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice.

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2022, shows a deficit of £4,650 (2021: surplus £15,116).

The Balance Sheet at 31 March 2022 shows total funds carried forward of £110,657 (2021: £115,307) of which there are £43,502 restricted funds (2020: £27,577).

New sources of funding are continually being sought, mainly from charitable trusts, and existing relationships with local authorities and primary care trusts are being maintained, to enable Blue Sky Trust to further the support and education it provides. The charity are also exploring income generation options.

Reserves policy

The trustees have reviewed the charity’s reserves policy and have agreed to retain sufficient funds to cover salaries and administration costs for four months, whilst trying to achieve a surplus to provide improvements to the existing services and allow new and extended activities when required. At the balance sheet date, reserves, adjusted for restricted funds, equated to approximately three and a half months costs. The Trustees believe this creates a firm foundation to ensure stability during the current economic downturn and hopes to maintain these reserves and build upon them in the next financial year.

In 2018-19, the Trustees made specific calculations for a Legal Liability Reserve, to cover redundancy and closing down costs. At the financial year end, 31 March 2022, this figure was £30,658.

7. Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's objectives and planning its future activities. The trustees have also reviewed the charitable purposes of Blue Sky Trust, and the external environment, to make sure the Charity is still relevant and needed. This annual report will aim to demonstrate the link between our charitable activity and how this benefits our service users.

8. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The charity trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources. In preparing financial statements, the trustees are required to:

 Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

 State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

 Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

BLUE SKY TRUST

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

For the year ended 31 March 2022

I report on the financial statements of Blue Sky Trust for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 19.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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.

BLUE SKY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2 Basis of accounting

2.1 Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with 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) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Blue Sky Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £67,155 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.

In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account the impact on the business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

3 Income

3.1 Recognition of income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

3.2 Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.

3.3 Grants and donations

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

BLUE SKY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

3.4 Donated goods and services

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.

3.5 Volunteer help

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

3.6 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

3.7 Income from membership subscriptions

Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations and legacies.

Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.

3.8 Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

3.9 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

4 Expenditure and liabilities

4.1 Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

4.2 Charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering one to one support and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

BLUE SKY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

4.3 Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

4.4 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

4.5 Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

4.6 Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

5 Assets

5.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

The charity currently has no tangible fixed assets
