March 2024.
Northern Llncolnshira Outreach
The sexual health outreach and Point of Care Testing services lor Northern Lincolnshire are commissioned by
HCRG . The contract commenced on 1st December 2017 and was awarded for 3 years with an option to extend
yearly for the following 4 y8ars.
Outreach interventions are design9é to break down barrters with Men who have sex with men (MSM) to
encourag8 th8 UPtak8 of HIV t8Sting and to encourag8 access to mainstream sexual health services. Our
Outreach team have maintained a high-quality sexual heallh outreach service to the hard-t¢>reach communities
(MSMI who mèel on Public Sex Environments throughout Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East
Lincolnshire.
Sexual Health Outreach Servlce
The World Hgalth Organization (W￿10) defin8s s8xual h&alth as a stat8 of physical, 8motional, mantal and social
wellbeing in relatioii to sexuality - it is not just the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirrrity. Sexual health
requires a posf(ive and respectful approach to S8xuality and s8xual relationships, as well as the possibility of
having pl88surable and safe sexual exp6riences, free of coercion, discrimination, and viol8nce.
The aims and objectives of this service are.. firstly, to provide a sexual health outreach service to public sex
environments {PSE), wh8r8 $lte US8rs commonly Includ8 man who have s8x with men (MSM), and at other
venues and events where people are more vulnerable or at risk of sexual ill health. Secondty, to reduce 'risky'
sexual behaviours and finally, to provide sexual health information which increases the awareiie&s of HIV, olher
sexually transmitl8d inf8Ctions and routas of transmission and treatments available, whilst encouraging th8
uptake of STI and HIV testing. This sexual health outreach service is olfered free of charge to seNice users and
is limited by the funding lo MSM at PSE sites and at other venues and events where people are more vulnerable
or at risk of sexual ill health within the county of Lincolnshire.
Having multiple sexual partners is common amongst MSM. Yet many men engaging in casual sex still do not
US8 condoms consistently. Our sexual health outreach team encourage the men on PSE sites to always use
condoms during sexual activity. Positive Health (Lincolnshirel understand that delivering 8exu81 heallh
information is ch¢inging and it is acceptable to deliver information to MSM vla social m6dia apps and F£cebook
posts, we have found that receiving non-judgmental. non-clinical, sexual health information whilst browBing
social media increases awareness of risk-laking behaviours and have had MSM contact us for information on
our Insti, HIV lesting $8ssions, infomiation regarding Prep, Pep, STI'S and thè requèst for ￿ndOM$ via the post
have incréased year on year.
The SHOHPS sexual haalth outreach se￿1¢& is for the provision of 250 outr8ach sessions per annum to includ&
12 Point of Care Testing Sessions in Lincolnshire and to physically visit the 12 busier Public Sex Environments
{PSE sites) in Lincolnshire. whilst monitoring the other siles via social media. The team made 338 PSE site
visits in Lincolnshire where 1770 MSM were present on the sites, 54/0 of the MSM presenl on site engaged with
the team, and 320/0 of the MSM present on site were new contacts. 1000/0 of MSM on PSE siles in Lincolnshir8
stated the reason for wsiting was seeking sex. Over 3500 condom packs were distributed amongst the users cn

30 Insti. HIV testing sessions at 2 sites. All attendees receiv6d non-reactive results and some of the att8nd8&s
now visit the sessions for regular HIVISyphilis testing as they prefer a non-clinical selting and do not use sexual
health services.
Community HIV testing services are a proven tool in reaching people who are not accessing traditional health
services, improving access to HIV testing and avoiding late HIV diagnosis. The outreach and social care teams
took part in the mobi18 insti Point of Care Project, taking a mobile unit to PSE site8 Within the County of
Lincolnshire and Northern Lincolnshire to promote condom distribution, promote Prep, raise awareness of HIV,
Monkeypox and other Sexually transmitted infections, and to increase the up-take HIV insti Point of Care testing

resull. All were provided with relevant, up to date HIV and sexual health information and were given emolional
support by our experienced social care team, the men were booked in with th8ir local 88xual health services for
follow up tests and treatment.
Th8 majority attendees stated they were aware of the importanc8 of HIV testing to reduce th8 onward
transmission but stated that without the mobile testlng untt on site at the time they were on site, they did nol feel
confident to engag8 in HIV tèsting within a s6xual h8alth clinic, the main reasons reported, was the fear of béing
recognis8d and th8 Stigma surrounding visiting a sexual health clinic,
During the year a peer-t(Fpeer support group was run entitle"Lel's talk about chem se￿. The sim was to allow a
safe place for men involved in chem sex. to discuss the issu85 related to it, safer sex practices and lo offer
mutual support. The group was run for a trial period of 12 weeks and had one attendee who came to four of the
meetings. In addition to this, online contact was made with a further three people and support was offered for a
variety of issues. After the trial period was ovar, it was decided lo continue the group but with a wider remit of
sexual health in general.

Case Studies '.
Positiva Health (Lincolnshir8) have been supporting a couple for many ye8rs, both are our client8, and both have
indivtdual and joint support,
One of them have always worked, however the other h8s suffered wth many physical and mental heatth issues
recently, their health has deteriorated more recent, and their needs have increased. Due to work commitments
their partner has been unable to fulfil th8S8 care needs and external care would cost them.
The client who works has investigated becoming a full-time carer in the pasl,. however. this would need a full
reassessment of benefits and the cared for client was very anxiou8 about and mix up wtth th8ir b8nefits so was
V8ry reluctant to do this.
At the end of 2023 some 8mploy888 where they worked were offered voluntary redundancy, therefore the
working client investigat8d this and came to us for help and guidance through the process.
The social care team assessed thg Sltuation and albeit complicated, found it was possible with minimal change.
Th8 Client made the d8cision to take the voluntary redundancy.
The team started the process to sort the welfare benefits:. carers allowance, then universal credit for both
parties. inform ESA that a Universal Credit (UC) application would be made, and then provide all requested
information. The UC application was complex as it was a joint application and as one of t118m were already in
receipt of welFare benefits it was vital not to have that mixed up with the new application.
Once this was all processed, an application for help with their rent was made and a separal8 council tax support
application was made.
Throughout this complicated prcKess, the team gave lots of support and reassurance to both cli8nts, as both
were anxious throughout the chang8s. Once everything was completed it was a case of waiting for replies and
d8Cl8ion8.
The Outcome: UC was awarded, ESA was unchanged and ongoing, carers allowanc8 was awarded. Full
housing costs, rent and council tax were also awarded. With final figures in place, they were both very relieved to
learn that they would be financially stable and that all care duties could be fulfilled, the Gared for cli8nt felt so
much more relaxed and settled knowing he would now have full time care.
Both parties Stated they were extremely pleased and reliev￿ with the outcome and were very thankful of the
effort and work put in by the social care team and w8r8 v6ry appreciativa of the emotional support an
reassurance given throughout the process.
At the beginning of 2023, client was privately r8nting a hous8 in Lincoln. He Iiv8d alone but saw his brother
regularly who h&lp8d him out and had a good relationship with. Client's son lives with his mother in
Gainsborough. Due to a number of health issues including muscular pain and trapped n8rves, client was unable
to work which caused a lot of strgss and made him depressed. This had an impact on his financ8s and his
mental well-being. Client previou81y received support from us before mowng away a couple of years ago,
However, he had moved back to area and re-engaged with Positive health for support.
E)ue to not being able to work, w8 supported him to apply for universal credit by helping him to access the online
application and to guide him through the proces5. We also attended his first appointment with the Job C8ntre to
give him confidence on attending in the future. In addition to that, he applied for the limited capability to work
component as h8 f8lt he was unfrt to work and struggle to keep up with expectations for looking to work. Positive
health supported his claim, communicated with his GP and HIV ¢onsullant, and ensured he had the corr8Ct

supporting letlers and fit notes. We attended the zoom face to face assessm8nt wtth him and prompted him
when needed to support him. Unfortunately, he was refused the limited capability award and was instructed to
attend Job 22 in Lincoln to look for suitable jobs. This caused a lol of distress, and his mental h8alth was
deteriorated. We accompanied client to a couple of these appointments to support him and to ensure he
understood hi5 commitments. During this time, he continued to gel fit notes from the GP, We appealed against
the DWP deci8ion, but client gol confused and didn't realise his appeal got r&fused. PosiEive h8alth helped him
re-apply for limited capability to work and he is now awaiting a response.
In April 2023, client received notl¢e to leave his property from his landlord due to wanting to sell the house. Client
was v8ry upset with this and was concerned he would be home1888 as he couldn't afford ID pay more in r8nt and
the cost of living has risen. We supported him by guiding him lo apply for the housing register and assisted him
to complete the process and ensuring he had the correct supportlng documentation. He needed a lot of
prompting and motivation to complete the task8 required. AS tim8 went by, t8nsions increased due to the
landlord requesting he leaves ASAP snd gave him an eviction letter. Positive Health supported 427 to apply to be
put on the homeless regisler as he was at risk of becoming homeless, We liaised with the homeless team at the
council and chased up anything which was needed to help getting him mov@d. This took a long time as client
slruggled to comply 8nd the landlord not providing the evidence needed to move thing forward. In November
2023, after a lot of discussions and support, the client got offered a one-bedroom flat in Lincoln. At first, client
he8ltated due to the area bul aft8r we sal down and talked about it in depth, he decided it was the best to acc8pI
the offer. Client moved in the property in J£nu8ry 2024. We supported hirn with transferring all his benefits over
and sorting out his housing benefit. He was in debt due to change of cirÈumstsnces, but we arranged a payment
plan wilh council regarding this. We helped him contact universal credit and PIP and changed his detsils.
During the above events and situations, client neglected his HIV care and not attend his appointmen15 and al
one stage slopped taking his HIV medication. We did encourage him to engage with the GU and attend
appointments, but his engagement was hit and miss. Eventually, he agreed to go to the GU to 8ee the
consultant. After a few failed attempts, Positive Health arranged an sppointment directly and supported him tc
go. He now is taking his medication and his CD4 is increasing, and his viral108d remains undetectable.
The client is grateful with the support from Positive Health and the input we had. Without this, his mental health
would deteriorate further, and his HIV would have got out of control if he didn't re-engage with his care. Also, he
may have been made homeless if he didn't get any support. Client would have had difficulty coping by himself. 11
was vital that services communicated together to achieve the outcomes.
The Chris Cinclair Bon8volent Fund
The fund adds value to the SHOHPS contract and is administered by the Truslees of the Charty. Applications ft)r
grants or loans are open lo people with HIV living in th8 county who are experiencing financial crisis or hardship.
During last year our benavolent fund and hardship fund helped to support 17 clients. The fund also pays for the
services of an HIV experienced counsellor for clients., we have supported 4 clients to access this service. The
counselling sewice is also available for staff and volunte@rs, no members of the team have accessed counselling
services this year.
This year we have received donations from our supporters at the Scene, Rosebay, and a donation from a Drag
Bingo event held, all donations and fundraising are paid into the Chris Cinclair account to support our Benevolent
and14ardship Fund.
Our World Aids Day raffle raised monies for our Chris Cinclair Benevolent fund, and we thank everyone who
donated prizes and everyone who bought tickels.

Partnershlp Organisatlons
We recognise that Improving knowledge and understanding of HIV and sexual health to tackle stigma and
discriminalion in a large rural county, with a growing divers8 population, requires commitment and partnership
working from other organisations across Greater Lincolnshire. In such a v8St 8rea one organisation cannot
deliver this alone. By embracing and acknowledging thg gxpertise and experiences of other local organisations,
ie
Substance Misuse, Homeless teams, Immigration Teams, mentsl health services and another local
organisations, we can all gain an understanding of the needs of the hard to reach communities and work
logether to reduce the number of people diagnosed with HIV, reduce HIV Stigma and Discrimination.
By carrying out regular Strengths, Weakness, Opportuniti8s and Threats (SWOTI analysis of our organi8ation,
we understand our strengths and acknowledge Our weaknesses and the need tc work with clher agencies and
organisations. We have over many years id8ntifi8d and resourced many local agencies and organisations to
work with. We have been successful in eslablishing and maintaining positive relationships Wlth partner
organisations by taking the time to understand each otherfs services andlor their services users.
Financial r8Vi8W
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees hav6 a r8asonable expectation thal th8 charity has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopl
the go)ing concern basis in preparing Ihe financial statements. Further details regarding the adoplion of the going
concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. R8s8rv8s policy
The Trustees have examined the charily's requirements for reserves considering the main risks to the
organisation. The Trustees agreed to retain a balanc& of £30,000 to support the Healh Promotion and Training
Department, and the new post of Positive Health Assistant for 21 hours per week and the increase to the salary
scale. The Trustees further agreed £20,000 t¢ advertising and marketing during the year. A policy has been
established whereby the unrestricted funds (not commitlad or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the
charity} should be be￿een one- and three-months operational costs at the start of the financial year lo allow
adequate cash flow. A contingency fund to continue service provision in the evenl of non-renewed service level
agreements/contracts has been agreed at bebween one month plus 10¢/0 of operating costs, to be raised lo a
maximum of three months operaling costs- Dne month's operating costs is currently in the working sum of
£28,500. In order to ensuré continuation of the Chris Cinclair benevolent fund for clients, the Trustees will
designate funds with the aim of achieving a minimum resetwe balanc6 8qual to the maximum grantlloan of £800
per client receiving social care support, The total of investments and cash in hand al the bank totals £289,186.77
lo meet thé requirements of the reserves policy, As the number of clients receiving support increases, so too
does the amount ne6ded to m88t OP8rating costs and satisfy the r6quir8ments of the reserves policy. On
again 2023124 has seen an increase in the number of people the charity is being acc8ssed by. Th8 total
resetves are minus £14,063.00-obviously, the more clients that access the service, the greater the divide, and
the great8r the ne8d to ensure that reserves are reviewed.

c. Materfal Investments policy
Aside from retslning a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the Charitls funds are to be spent in the
short temi so there are few funds for long term investment. Having considered the options available the Trustees
have decided to invest the small amount that it has available in a Barclays Bu8ine8s Direct Access Account to
maximise interest bul allow 10 days access. This amount (£31,613) currently forms part of the reserves,, to be
used to allow the organisation ID conlinue operaling should the charity become financially insecure.
d. Princlpal fundlng
