## **Sefton Group**
Our Sefton group have continued to provide a self-advocacy service for adults with a learning disability living within the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. This work is funded by Sefton Council and Sefton CCGs.
The Sefton group support the work of the Sefton Learning Disability and Autism Coproduction Board. People First Merseyside are taking a lead in supporting the Learning-disabled Co Chairs at meetings.
Members in Sefton take part in Community Networking meetings such as the Health and Social Care Forum and Healthwatch’s Community Champions Network. These meetings are an opportunity to promote the work of People First Merseyside and self-advocacy in Sefton.
We have continued to hold our Get Involved Groups meetings to enable people with learning disabilities find out what is happening in Sefton and to provide opportunities for professionals to come and consult with people with learning disabilities about issues that affect them.

## **Bloods Pathway Project**
This project was funded by Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust.
This project was looking at the Bloods Pathway which is related to the protocols for clinicians when taking blood or delivering vaccinations to those who have learning disabilities and have conditions or phobias which make it difficult.
We worked with Learning Disability Health facilitators from Mersey Care to look at the current protocols and research alternative methods for taking blood. The group then developed an easy read booklet to help people with learning disabilities to understand better the process of having blood taken. This will be distributed to people with learning disabilities across Merseyside.
## **The DAVID Project**
The DAVID Project is a five year project funding by the National Lottery Community Fund, which was extended to six years with the existing funding with permission from the National Lottery Community Fund. The project was developed after the death of one of People First Merseyside’s members who had no family to make arrangements for his funeral. The project aims to address the subject of death and dying for people with learning disabilities.
During this year the DAVID Project group held 32 Steering Group meetings, looking at such things as forward planning for the project, discussing feedback from group events/activities and planning for the DAVID Project conference.
The group also held 29 Task & Finish Group meetings, which included looking at such things as producing bereavement resources, funeral planning, religion & culture, dementia and assisted dying.
In addition to those core meetings DAVID members took part in the People First Merseyside podcast, attended bereavement counselling sessions, attended the Buddy Group (supporting people with cancer) at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, IncludeAge Research Interviews, LeDeR Independent Advisory Group Meetings, Royal Liverpool University Hospital LD Steering Group Meetings, Regional Staying Healthy Group Meetings, a REACHE Consultation, a Death Cafe at Liverpool Hope University and Yellow Tulip Research Consultations.
The project also held the DAVID Project Conference to launch the booklets and films produced by the project and the event.
## **Health Matters**
In March 2025 we received a grant of £19,999 to carry out carry out a 12 month project around physical and mental health. This project will run over the course of the 2025/26 financial year.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of People First Merseyside Company Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and 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 financial statements to be reached.
