Income Generatlon
The charity's income during thè year ended 31 March 2022 decreased from £284,686 to
£165.534. The decrease was mainly due to the nomialisation of funding being achieved as
opposed to the various additional funding secured to address Challenges imposed by the
unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic in the previous year. In particular, £89,777 of the
£100,000 secured from the National Lottery's Covid Emergency Funding Programme to set
up a pilot BME Sitting Service to support isolated BME carers during the back end of the last
financial year was Carried forward to the current financial year for the implementation of the
project. Similarly, £7,990 secured from the UK Community Foundations, BME Infraslrudure
Programme was carried forward to the current financial year for the implementation of the
project.
During the year bet￿een April 2021 and March 2022, despite the on-going turbulen￿ and
hallenging climate of the post Covid-19 lockdown, the Core Service has adapted well to
conlinue the organisation's primary activity in providing free advice and support to voluntary
and community groups in the Chestetheld and North East Derbyshire area by being bolh
flexible and innovative to meet the diverse and changing needs of the sector.
It continued to offer accessible website infomation updates and daily &bulletins to keep
frontline voluntary organisations and community groups up-to-date with initiatives and
policies of central government, local authorities, the local clinical commissioning group and
health agencies, funding bodies, as well as other relevant organisations. The charity
restarted sorne of the fa¢e-tOaface appointments and physical me81ings or events, whilst
maintaining the use of online meetings via the platIo￿n of Zoom and Microsoft Tearns. A key
challenge faced by most voluntary and community groups, especially the smaller community
based groups, has been acquiring funding to make their meeting venues Covid secured in
order lo encourage the participalion of Iheir beneficiaries as many clinically vulnerable
service users were still Con￿rned about the risk of contracting Covid. Our slaff team has
been busy in advising groups to conduct health and safety assessments and supporting
them to secure lunding to restart their activities.
Areas of advice and infomation given included funding opportunities, funding bids, policy
fomiation, strategic and activity planning in a Covid safe manner, budgeting, governance and
conslitutional matters, etc.
The charity continued to produce regular news updates and policy e-bulletins, as well as
compiled and distributed a regularfunding e-bulletins reaching over 700 voluntary
organisations and community groups and individuals operating or working in Chesterfield,
North Easl Derbyshlre and the wider Derbyshire areas.
Links CO￿ Service is led by the Chief Executive who is ￿sponSible for strategic
development work both be￿een drfferent voluntary organisations and with statutory
agencies by engaging in a number of strategic networks in Derbyshire. We feed in
information to and from the voluntary sector to aid in policy and service development.

The Charity's Chief Executive is also responsible for the overall management of the chanty
and its projects. It takes a contribution of ovèrheads including management from projects
and services run by Links. This helps sustain the free service to groups and the project and
partnership work.
The Core Service was funded by grants from three local authorities.. Chesterfield Borough
Council1£16,002}, Derbyshire County Council (£36,058), North East Derbyshire District
Council1£2,445) and NHS Derby and Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group1£25,953)
amounting lo £80.458 during the financial yaar 2021-2022. The charity managed to secure
additional project funding sources during the year to cary out activities and services
compatible to its aims. The charity's core staff hours were as follows.. two and half days
{18.5 hours) of the Chief Executive, two and half days (18.5 hours) of the Advice and Project
Manager,. five days (16.5 hours) of the ICT Worker., five days (30 hours) of the Administrative
and Infomialion Worker. Other hours of the Chief Executive's hvo and half day5 a week, and
the overtime payments of the ICT Worker and the Advice and Project Manager were funded
by various projects that were cMipatibl8 to the charity's aims and objectives including
strategiG projects to engage Black and Minority Ethnic Groups and other service fees. Links
has developed expertise in supporting Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. The charity ha8
service level agreement with Derbyshire County Council to support the Derbyshire-wide
BME Forum, as well as other oneryoff contrads with Derbyshire County Council and partner
agencies to engage and work closely wrth BME communrties.
During 202112022, the charity has continued to consolidate its existing generic seryices
whilst using innovative (ICT including social media) ¢hannels of access to information for
voluntary and communrty groups such as the weekly email bulletins. policy templates and
readily available information sheets on the Charity's website, as well as organising funding
workshops. In recognttion of the rapidly changing digital environment we are working in, the
charity has contracted a publicity and marketing freelance worker to promote its work via ils
improved website and various social media platfoms to maximise the accessibility of
infomiation and guidance tol for frontline voluntary and community groups and other
interested stakeholders in tenn5 of the chanty's work. Further, to retterate the charity's fim
commitment lo the equality agenda, it ran 'jusl mingle. lonlinel and 'lunch and mingle" {fac8-
to-face) sessions for voluntary and community groups to gather together and discuss and
share experience on Current issues con￿MIng their beneficiaries andlor organisational
development in the spheres of equalrty and diversrty (topics included celebraling diversity,
hate crime, the emerging Integrated Care System. cancer care, as well as the climate
hange agenda). It is worth noting that it is the voluntary and community groups who decide
the topics of the mingle sessions.
Investsnent pollcy and returns
The charity has only small funds to invest because much funding comes in arrears and there
are no substantial reserves. A policy of spreading risk has been adopted for many years and
long temi deposits are placed with another (Co-op) bank deposit account in addition to the
main current account with Unty Trust Bank. Unfortunately, due to the economic decline and

funding bids or project proposals in line with the charity's strategic aims. The proportion of
resources spent on fund-raising was £5,000 which was the same amount spent in the
previous year. The majonty of the work was around raising fees from service contracts or
projeds.
The majorty of successful fund-raising came via the Strategic Projects as a direct result of
the excellent track record of the Black & Minority Ethnic support project8 led by the Chief
ExeGutive.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
R•serves
The reserves have been reviewed to ensure they ¢ontinue to cover redundancies of core and
project staff. The designated reserve has been increased in line wrth the statutory minimum.
Reserves are also kepl covering ￿nt and seNi¢e charge liabilities. A small sum 18 kept for
fixed asset replacement. The major reseNes are for restncted Strategic Work and for the
unrestricted Core Service. Both these stand al well over a yea¢s running costs and any
excess will b8 used to buy in short lem) freelance work or overtime where there are
pressures on seprfice.
Changes In fixed assets
The charity does not have any fixed assets. The trustees are of the vlew that most
computers only have a life of a year before they may nèed replacing or upgrading. The value

from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do nol
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and Consequently no opinion is
