The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting
their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 March
2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities..
Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing Iheir accounts in accordance
with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102}
(effective 1 January 2015)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectlves and alms
Livestock is an arts and communitydevelopment charity. We run projects that engage with the themes
of mental health and wellbeing, focused on individuals, personal stories. We enable people to share
their histories and experiences to connect and communicate with each other. Our peersupport groups
use creativity as a tool to empower. We work primarily with mothers and families.
The company aims to advance education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, especially
performance, writing and art., and mental and physical wellbeing through mindfulness and food
activities. We work especially with communities in the Brighton and Hove area.
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the
guidance 'public benefit.. running a charity {PB2).
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Slgnlflcant activities
Mothers Uncovered founder Maggie won two awards: Women's Champion for Social Enterprise UK
and WISE Women 100.
Maggie met with MP Laura Kyrke-smith who has made il her mission to improve maternal mental
healthcare with significant investment into community provision.
We were also approached to be a community partner for a leading piece of research for UCL,
headed by academic Charlotte Faircloth.
Maggie was interviewed by BBC 5 Live following a report on patchy maternal care around the UK.
This led to interest and funding for our young mums, project from FoNis Mazars.
Mothers Uncovered
We ran a 5-week Mindfulness group at The All Saints, Hove and 3 My Birth sessions at The Tarner
Centre in JunelJuly. Attendance was patchy and we've idenlified that participants are initially
interested but struggle to commit to a sequence of sessions.
We identified that people preferred a drop-in model so we trialled that in the autumn over 4 sessions
in Whitehawk, a deprived area and this worked out well. We tried to run a one-off session for
mothers who have experienced pregnancylbaby loss in the autumn. however this didn't have
enough interest. There were 20 mothers supported through these activities.

Younger Mothers
In the summer of 2024 our facilitator Caroline (Caz) resumed the training and preparation of the
group for younger mothers which ran from late Sept-oct. led by 2 young mums from last year's
Three Gen project. This went successfully and we were awarded further grants to sustain this work.
With a new coordinator Cat (due to Caroline's work capacity at the time) we went foward into April
2025 with a strong plan for a year's delivery ahead for younger mums and additional recruitment to
this project also.
We addilionally started sessions at Ihe Puzzleboard café in March 2024 in order to set up a general
chat session to support the removal of barriers into more committed groups to see if this supported
younger mums better. This was attended by 10 mums but only funded for a number of weeks prior
to the set up of the formal groups. We look forward lo seeing how the group work unfolds.
Raising Awareness: Maternal Health
Maggie and Aradhana developed some Pe8r Support training for individuals expressing the wish to
set up their own groups in the UK. This Peer Support Training - a low-cosl, online support session
facilitated by Maggie. This initially started as a group session, but moved lo an individual mentoring
session lor Iwo people from the same organisation}. This attracted people from different parts of the
country, with 5 women supported from Norfolk, Kenl, London and Leeds.
We pitched for funding to develop Malrescence advocacy from The Slephen Lloyd Award (along
wilh facilitator Felicity). This was unsuccessful unfortunately, however Maggie was been shortlisted
for Social Enterprise Women's Champion of the Year by Social Enterprise UK. She also was on the
Pioneers Post Wise 100 list of women for the second year running.
Additionally, Maggie was also involved in SPSN (Sussex Peer Support Network) event, mentioned
in a Guardian piece by Lucy Jones, interviewed by Rosie Taylor for the Independent, went to
Parliament and met MP Laura Kyrke-smith and attended the launch of the UCL-funded 'Becoming
A Mother Study, at the House of Lords. We shall be involved in this research going forwards.
We took on a volunteer, Jay, to edit and uploaded 2 more episodes of the 'Secret Life of Mothers,
podcast and 2 more have been recorded, including with Sam Southern, a leading light in suicide
awareness who ensured that the Baton of Hope Tour would start in her home town of Blackpool.
The edilor role was taken on by another volunteer Vladimir. The podcast has increased views and is
being produced regularly with increasingly more higher profile interviewees.

Reaching Your Potentlal
Due to a lack of funds for this project, we did not run anything during this year. We anticipate a
course next year for younger mums as part of this projecl.
Frazzled
We have been running monthly online sessions for parents of SEND children ongoing throughout
this year with attendance varying, and some regular individuals who see it as their lifeline. The
groups are to be promoted by Amaze, and we are looking to develop better connection with
schools. We shall be looking to recruit a third facilitator in the coming year, as the funding increases
for this project and we expand into face to face sessions at the Old Boat in Hollingbury on a regular
monthly basis.
Teen Years
We ran a trial of 3 sessions in Worthing during the Autumn months. and this was nol altended well.
Therefore, we pul the service on hold for the foreseeable fulure until we establish a better need if
there is one.
Organisational wide
Again, this year we have found that the trend of a competitive landscape in seeking funding
continued to worsen, with some funders closing and a couple that we regularly are successful in
obtaining funding from changing their criteria, so we are no longer eligible. Of over 40 bids that were
applied for, Livestock was Suc￿sSfUl in only a quarter of these, the majority of these being less than
£5000. There was also restricted capacity throughout the year due to the Aradhana (Managing
Executive) needing time off for ill health leaving Maggie (Creative Executive) to carry operational
and management tasks for a few months (cumulative) throughout the year.
We slill persevered at the diversification of income streams, many of the initiatives we explored
required more resource than we were able to offer in people power and upfront costs. Additionally,
the Lotlery which we did sign up to has been slow in progress. We held a Pub Quiz fundraiser which
brought in £850 and looked at really promoting Easy Fundraising- a donation platform which
organisations give money to charities whilst individuals do their regular shopping. This has been
successful in the cases where people use it, however getting sufficient numbers of people who
activate the donation is difficult.
Additionally, we created a slide deck with the aid of our trustee Jess, which we have used to
approach corporate organisations in order to gain a relationship whereby we can offer
traininglcourses to their staff or seek voluntary time or donations. We are yet to create a strategy of
delivery for this, however, were unlucky with Siemens for whom it was originally created.

Governance
During 2024-25, having Lorraine on board as Treasurer provided more operational capacity As well
as an opportunity to organise and automate financial processes, making better use of Xero and
other tools. Following Lorraine's resignation, Christina Lewis has taken on responsibility for the
oversight of subcontractor payments. A new Trustee l Treasurer will be recruited in early 2026.
We led an all team away day in October 2024 for the trustees and facililalors to meet and create a
co-vision of the organisation alongside discussing solutions as a group to barriers of fundraising,
reviewing service and also commenting on our digital presence. This was really beneficial to gel
everyone together.
All trustees had their annual meetings with the Managing Executive this year, and the general
consensus was restriclions on time for individuals. No immediate need for training across the board
was identified.
We met with Tim Smith. a lawyer, to seek advice on our constitution given the amount of work that
we are now doing to raise awareness. Tim has advised that this does sil within our constitution as
written and therefore we are continuing with il.
Policy and Procedure
Policy and Procedures slated to be reviewed this year with the help of our trustee Liv and will
continue lo be reviewed through the year as capacity allows.
Golng Concern
The charity has faced challenges in building and sustaining reserves over the past two years. These
have been difficult times for the charity sector in general due to funding restriclions, cuts and the
closure of trusts and grant funders which have historically supported the charity.
Whilst Ihe charity continues to operate within its reserves policy of holding one month's operaling
expenditure in free reserves, action is being taken to diversify and support new income streams
such as our collaboration with potential Corporate partners. A conversation with Biogen is currently
taking place where donations and funding to support work looks promising. We are also looking to
build our Lottery donations, with belter support from a recently recruited communications person
and we are looking to run an additional fundraiser this year to support income generation.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
For the year ended 31 March 2025
As well as raising additional money, we are also looking to reduce costs by reviewing servi
providers and subscriptions. We have looked at the cancellation of our Drop Box and Zoom
subscriptions. hoping to sign up to the new Microsoft Office for charities as a low cost rate when
they roll out their new package in Jan 2026. and we will continue to review other subscriptions as
they come up for renewal.
The outlook so far for 2025-26 is challenging but the Trustees are confident that the charity will
continue and be able to build the reseNes in the coming year. Having been successful in receiving
the National Lottery Awards for All funding in November 2025, we have already secured a third of
the funding required for this year's infrastructure costs. enabling us to use some of the donations
money for reserves this year. This alongside the afore mentioned fundraiser and corporate
endeavours should stand Livestock in better stead for 202612027.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the year ending 31 March 2025, the charity recorded a net deficit of £2,169 (2024 surplus:
£3,973). Total reserves now stand at £23,212 of which £18,890 is restricted,
Total income generated for the year was £27,009 (2024.. £52,557).
The charity has received £21,025 in grants during the year (2024: £45,650)
A total of £29,178 was spent (2024: £48,584). This has decreased in line with decreased project
activity as funding streams have redu￿d.
The charity continues to invest in supporting the infrastructure of the charily to ensure appropriate
controls, governance and planning processes are in place.
Reserves
Livestock is committed to using its resources in pursuit of its charitable objectives. It is also
committed to maintaining a level of reserves that is prudent to meeting ongoing liabilities, sufficient
to ensure that all delivery commitments can be met and to protect the long-term future of Livestock's
operations. Livestock's reserves policy seeks to balance these priorities by aiming to hold a level of
general reserves which equates to approximately one month's expenditure of the charity, based on
the planned expenditure for the year.
At 31 March 2025 the charity held general reserves of £4,322 which equates to roughly six weeks
operating costs at 2024-25 levels. However, recent fundraising bids have included funds to support
the development of the charities, infrastructure and £1.700 is currently held in restricted funds for
this purpose.
