29 January 2005.
SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
IN
LATION TO THESE OBJE
IVES
In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commissions guidance on
public benefit at our trustees meetings.
The aim of Derbyshire LGBT+ Ltd is to advise, assist, inforn) and support any person in
doubt about their sexual identity or gender identity or experiencing difficulty in their lives
relating to their or another person's sexual oreicntation or gender identity. The charity also
provides advice, assistancc and support relating to sexual health.
J)erbythire LGBT+ Ltd is open to all individuals in Ikne with the Equality Act 2010.
It operates principally within Derby and Derbyshire although it is becoming recognised as the
leading LGBT+ provider throughout the East Midlands.
ACHIEVEME]YTS AND PERFORMANCE
This year has been both challenging and rewarding as we continue to support LGBT+
communities across Derbyshire. We have experienced a significant incre&se in the number of
people seeking our support, much of which has been driven by anxieties around the current
political climate. Alongside this. we have seen a continued rise in LGBT+ people seeking
asylurn, often under extremely difficult circumstances. These growing demands have corne at
a time when funding opportunities are shrinking, and many organisations are stepping back
from their Equality, Diversity. and Inclusion (EDI) commitments. Despite these pressures, we
have continued to generate income and secure vital support for our work.
A major achievement has been securing funding for our LGBT+ Asylum Project, This has
not been easy, with multiple applications declined before we f￿allY secured support. The

DERBYSHIRE LGBT+ LTD
COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
TRUSTEES) ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
funding has enabled us to employ a dedicated worker who now provides one-to-one support.
facilitates group sessions, and leads campaigns to advocate for the rights and needs of LGB T+
asylum seekers. We continue to actively pursue further funding to ensure the sustsinability of
this much-needed proj ect.
We have also introduced a hot lunch service. offering service users a warni, welcoming
space with access to hot food and driiths. This initiative has been extremely well received and
has significantly increased attendance at our Wednesday drop-ins. Service users have even
offered food donations to help sustain the service during funding gaps. which demonstrates
both their commitment and how vital this project has become in building community
connections. Building on this success, we are hoping to secure funding to expand the
initiative into our Chesterfield centre.
Another important development has been the establishment of a monthly sexual health
clinic for groups disproportionately affected by HIV. This specialist service is helping to
break down barrieTS to healthcare, improve accessibility, and contribute to better health
outcomes for our cornmunity.
Finally, our LGBT+ Accreditation Scheme has continued to go from strength to strength,
siipporting organisations across sectors to impTove their practices and demonstrate genuine
commitment to inclusivity.
Flnancial Revieiv
Reserves Policy
The Trustees and Management are working towards rebuilding our reserves over the next two
years. This will allow us to use non ring-f¢nced moneylgrants to sustain the organisation in
the short tern should the funding climate become more difficult. We have a responsibility to
have reserves in place to meet out statutory obligations and to run Derbyshire LGB T+ Ltd
whilst further funding is sought.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Derbysbire LGBT+ Ltd

Respective responsibilities of trurtees and examiner

responsible for the preparation of thc accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for
this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 {the 2011 Act) and that an independent
examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible foi
independent examiT]ation, it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act"
follow the proccdurcs laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Coinmission
(under section 145(5)(b) of the 20 I l Ac( a5 amended); and
state whether particular matters have corne to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's statement

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 you as trustees concerning
any such matters. The procedures undertaken do noi provide all the evidence that would be required
in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether tbe accounts present a "true and fair
view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the stalement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
Which gives me rea51mable cause to believe that. in any material respect, the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of ihe Companies Act 2006. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting
requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of
the Statement of Recommended Practice: A￿OUntIng and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
to which, in My opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of
the accounts to be reached.
