## ABOUT LANCASHIRE LGBT 

Founded in 2009, we are the pan-Lancashire charity supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans people (LGBT+). Our vision is that ‘All LGBT+ people in Lancashire can be safe and feel a sense of pride and belonging’. 


Our aim is for all LGBT+ people, their family members and carers to be happier, healthier and better connected. So, our core work focuses on improving mental health and well-being and reducing social isolation. 

We are user-led and all of our activities are based on evidence of need. 

Our core support activities include: 

- Information and support service 

- One-to-one support from a dedicated support worker 

- Peer Support and activity groups 

- Workshops promoting well-being and improving mental health 

- Counselling 

We also run our Quality Mark ‘kite mark’ scheme which invites organisations to undertake an audit to measure how LGBT+ inclusive they are as service providers and as employers. 

We have a partnership with Leeds and York Partnership NHS Trust Gender Identity Service, hosting their Gender Outreach Workers as well as providing space for their satellite clinic at our offices. 

We regularly deliver training externally for Lancashire County Council, Lancaster University Medical School, local Health Trusts, GP surgeries and local charities.

**LANCASHIRE LGBT- 1 APRIL 2021 – 31  MARCH 2022** 

OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR 


During April 2021 lockdown restrictions begin to ease and in July 2021 the final Covid restrictions eased. Our charity saw an increase in LGBT people contacting us for support this year and an overall higher number of beneficiaries – over 1300. 

- 601 people contacted our information and support service 

- Our Support Worker provided 128 one-to-one support sessions to 32 people 

- Our volunteer counsellors provided 75 counselling sessions for 20 people 

- 250 group attendances of 106 beneficiaries 

- 547 people watched our Mental Health hour webinars 

In May, following evidence from our research locally on the impact of the lockdowns on LGBT+ mental health and wellbeing, we began running a series of online ‘LGBT+ Mental Health Hours where we invited guest speakers to discuss LGBT+ mental health. These were uploaded to our Youtube channel and many people have watched them since. 

We also began running a much-needed LBT women’s group, meeting on Zoom and occasionally meeting in person. 

Funding this year was from a variety of sources: 

We received the second year of 3 years of funding from the Tudor Trust towards core costs. The Albert Hunt Trust also contributed towards core costs. 

7 



Funding from Preston City Council, The Community Foundation for Lancashire and Postcode Neighbourhood Trust made the one-to-one support service possible 

Blackpool Fylde and Wyre clinical commissioning groups’ Self Care Fund contributed to the costs of our swimming group 

The Alpkit Foundation contributed to the costs for our walking group. 

Skelton Charity provided funding for the BSL interpreter for our LGBT+ Mental Health Hours.

LGBT+ MENTAL HEALTH HOUR WEBINARS: 547 VIEWS 







We were aware from our own research conducted during the Coronavirus Pandemic lockdown period last year, that this had a huge negative impact on the mental health and well-being of LGBT+ people. Inspired by the model used by Lancashire and South Cumbria Foundation Trust who, during the pandemic had regular webinars for staff to learn and talk about mental health issues, we wanted to do the same but focus on LGBT+ mental health. LGBT+ mental health has a specificity and intersections of other identity markers such as race, religion and ability can make LGBT+ people even more vulnerable to mental health problems requiring support tailored to their identities. 

We invited a diverse range of guest speakers onto the episodes, and covered a range of issues, including Muslim LGBT+ mental health, Black LGBT+ mental health for Black History Month; Trans mental health for Trans Day of Remembrance, and LGBT+ disability and mental health. For accessibility, we had a BSL interpreter present (supported by funding from the Skelton Charity) and uploaded each webinar to our YouTube channel. The YouTube videos have become valuable resources for LGBT+ people and have been shared among professionals beyond Lancashire LGBT+ to help services providers/users who need mental health support. 

The webinars can be viewed on our YouTube channel:

With thanks to Skelton Charity who gave us funding to cover the costs of the BSL interpreter for the sessions.

13 



GROUPS:  250 ATTENDANCES, 106 BENEFICIARIES 

LBT WOMEN AND NON-BINARY GROUP **:** 24 SESSIONS, 42 DIFFERENT ATTENDEES, AVERAGE ATTENDANCE: 10. 


This year, our support worker set up a LBT women’s group as there were limited groups for LBT+ women and non-binary people in Lancashire, and none that hosted the groups together (i.e. cis lesbian/bi and trans women in the same space). The group meets regularly on Zoom and has met 3 times in person. Having online meetings has drawn more people than we could ever hope to have meeting in person, due to the geographical spread of group members. 

Besides being a peer support group, a big part of the group is arts-based projects. Each meeting different group members present what they have created in a ‘show-and-tell’ style. There is a range of artistic approaches, and the brief is very open, anything which speaks to how they feel about their identity. The group is planning an exhibition of these works for later in 2022, to celebrate one year of the group. 

Some of the art work:

## Feedback

- _‘It's helped me in ways I never thought it would.’_ 

- _‘For me the group and Beth’s catch-ups are virtually a lifeline.’_ 

- _‘Safe, welcoming, warm. Makes me feel part of a community not a club. Means a lot for me.’_ 

- _‘As a newly out and transitioning trans Woman the chance to share and connect is crucial, even more so with the universal pandemic effect.’_ 

- _‘My therapist commented on how lifted I seemed talking about the group. It made me feel like I might fit in somewhere.’_ 

- _‘I have improved as a person, become more happier with who I am.’_ 

Our activity groups started up during this year as the Covid-19 restrictions eased.

_‘I love the swimming it is fantastic I’ve gotten healthier and fitter and as it’s for lgbt and me being post-op trans I feel I don’t have to wear a swim top because they understand I identify as a man’._ 

_‘I do hope it carries on as it is such a comfortable environment to be healthy and make new friends’._ 

With thanks to Fylde and Wyre and Blackpool Clinical Commissioning Groups’ Self-Care Fund for contributing to the costs of running the swimming group.

**Lancashire LGBT** 

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The balance of unrestricted funds as the year end was £42,508 (2021: £64,688). 

The Charity has no permanent endowment and has never been in a position to build up significant long-term reserves. The balance of restricted funds carried forward each year is in accordance with funders' expectations and agreed work plans, and covers scheduled expenditure in the short or medium-term future. The balance of unrestricted funds carried forward is to protect the Charity against becoming vulnerable to any short-term funding-gap. This year the Charity achieved the position where there was an unrestricted reserve able to cover six months' operating expenses, in case of need, and for the purpose of generating investment income. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Future plans include diversifying income sources to support sustainability.  Service development remains consistent with evidence of need collated from past activities as well as consultation with LGBQT+ people in Lancashire. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

The constitution of the organisation was adopted on 14 October 2009. 

The Trustees who have served during the year are set out on page 1. The Charity is dependent on the services of a committed number of unpaid volunteers to act as Trustees and to promote its work. Trustees are recruited as far as practicable to reflect the diversity of the people the organisation seeks to serve. Induction training is provided to all Trustees on appointment and periodically thereafter to familiarise them with the work of the Charity and to ensure that they are able to make a constructive contribution to its strategic management. Honorary officers are elected by the Trustees for tenures determined in accordance with the constitution. 

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and have introduced systems to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen the identified risks. 

## **Key management remuneration** 

The charity applies salaries to management personnel commensurate with duties that are consistent within the parameters of agreed rates and pay.  The charity considers its key management personnel to be the Chief Executive.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lancashire LGBT** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lancashire LGBT** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Lancashire LGBT (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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 accounts to be reached.
