## **2. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGMENT**
## **Structure**
The Blue Lamp Trust is an incorporated Charity and a Charitable Company (Limited by Guarantee) governed by Articles of Association as amended by resolution dated 21 October 2019. A wholly owned subsidiary Blue Lamp Trust (Services) Ltd, Company Number 12468719, was incorporated on 18 February 2020 and started trading from 1 April 2020. Its role is to undertake all trading activities previously carried out by the Charity as well as to develop and undertake future trading opportunities. All its profits will be Gift Aided back to the Charity.
## **Governance**
Governance is undertaken by a Board of Trustees comprising 3 to 16 members as specified in Articles of Association. The current Board comprises 12 trustees as listed above; they have the powers to act in accordance with the Articles of Association, which may be exercised only in promoting the Charity’s Objectives **.**
Potential new Trustees are identified via several routes, either ex officio or based on their knowledge, expertise, experience, and skills. Their suitability is assessed informally by existing Trustees, and they are subject to interview by the Chairman, one other Trustee and the Company Secretary. Upon successful completion of this process, they are recommended for appointment at a full Trustees Meeting. In accordance with Articles of Association. Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year period. A Trustee may be reappointed for up to two further terms of three years. A Trustee who has served for three terms of three years must retire at the end of the Trustees' meeting which is held on or after the ninth anniversary of his or her initial appointment as a Trustee.
Newly appointed Trustees are provided with a copy of the Charity Commission booklet “The Essential Trustee –They will also have an induction by the Chairman of the Trustees, the Company Secretary and General Manager
The Trust provides such ongoing training and support to new Trustees as is appropriate to assist them to carry out their roles. Trustees meet once a quarter.
The Trustees will review the charity’s long-term strategy at a meeting in the autumn and provide direction so that a budget can be prepared for the following financial year. This draft budget is presented to the trustees for approval at a meeting in March. The previous year’s work will then be reviewed at a meeting in June, and the audited accounts and annual report will be ready for approval in October.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees also chairs an Executive Committee made up of relevant organisational representatives. The Committee meets quarterly and is responsible for overseeing the delivery of the strategic objectives set out by the Board of Trustees. This Committee also receives reports from the Trading subsidiary.
## **Risk Management and Financial controls**
The Charity’s Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and, through the Risk and Audit Committee, have satisfied themselves that systems and procedures have been established in order to manage these risks.

## **3. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The Trust’s Objects, which are for the Public Benefit, are to:
- To promote, in partnership with the police and others, the protection of people and property and the prevention of criminal acts in particular but not exclusively by:
- Crime prevention and by reducing the fear of crime, in particular in relation to elderly and vulnerable people who have been, or who are at risk of becoming, victims of crime or anti-social behaviour in or near their home.
- Reduction in crime or the fear of crime within business and commerce.
- Promoting the improvement of standards of driving and the advancement of road safety.
- To advance education for the public benefit in all aspects of fire safety and fire prevention.
## **The main activities undertaken in relation to these purposes**
The key charitable activity undertaken is the operation of the of the Bobby Scheme. The Bobby Scheme is a practical service in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, which aims to bring peace of mind to the vulnerable and elderly, providing reassurance or restoring a sense of security within their own home. This service is free to those who are vulnerable due to age (over 65), circumstance, domestic violence, disability, or a victim of crime. A full crime prevention and fire safety survey is carried out by one of our trained, police-vetted fitters. They provide both general and specific crime and fire prevention advice to improve home safety. As well as physical security review, the fitter advises on scams and fraud and how to avoid becoming a victim of cyber-crime. They will also advise on how to improve fire safety, rerouting trailing leads, not overloading electrical sockets, and reducing flammable clutter. Where needed the fitter will fit such items as new locks, spyholes, door chains, window alarms, letterbox
4
**BLUE LAMP TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
jammers, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Currently there are five fitters, four in Hampshire and one on the Isle of Wight.
We work closely with a variety of local organisations. As well as people self-referring, we get referrals from the Hampshire Police, Hampshire Fire Service, Trading Standards, domestic abuse charities, council adult services departments, charities working with the elderly or disabled, Victim Support and the NHS. Many of these partners provide valuable advice and support but cannot provide the practical assistance, that is where the Bobby Scheme fits in. We help give an all-round package of assistance to the client. The fitters are in a unique position of being allowed into someone's home. Therefore, with the client's permission, the fitter will refer the client to another service, e.g. to Trading Standards if there is evidence of doorstep scams or maybe to the Fire Service if there is a hoarding issue. There is no other charity within Hampshire and Isle of Wight that provides this level of practical support.
During the year the Trust introduced a new service to provide advice and support in cyber security and safety to those over 65 and victims of cybercrime.
In terms of income generation charitable funds are raised through our range of road safety training courses and taxi driver assessments with DVSA-approved assessor managed by the wholly owned Trading subsidiary Blue Lamp Trust (Services)Ltd. The subsidiary offers a variety of driver related training which can be delivered in classroom, hands-on, virtually, or online learning environments. These courses cover a selection of topics designed to educate and reduce occupational driving risk. Therefore, they not only raise fund for the Trust but also tie in with the charitable objects, namely promoting the improvement of standards of driving and the advancement of road safety.
The trustees are content that all the charity’s objects and activities can be defined as ‘for the public benefit.’
## **Criteria/measures to assess success**
The Blue Lamp Trust’s impact measurement methodology relies on a mix of qualitative and quantitative data to assess the difference which is being made.
- The number of clients who receive a visit from a Bobby Scheme Fitter during a year
- The reason for the visit and the equipment fitted is noted and any emerging trends noted
- Anecdotal stories are captured to demonstrate the difference which a visit may have made to someone’s life.
- Number of attendees across the various courses is noted. Qualitative data is collected by means of a survey questionnaire
## **4. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charity**
## **The Bobby Scheme**
The Bobby Scheme is well established. Over the year 1,829 visits (an average of 152 per month) were made to the elderly and vulnerable.
## **Cyber Bobby**
In recognition of the increase in cyber enabled crime, a pilot project was run during January 2020, in conjunction with the Hampshire Constabulary Cyber Crime unit, to visit people in their own homes and look at their basic computer and cyber security. After a delay due to the pandemic, the service was launched in January 2022.
5
**BLUE LAMP TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
The service uses volunteers who have been trained by the Hampshire Constabulary Cyber Crime unit. As with the Bobby fitters the volunteers are police vetted.
Since starting Cyber Bobby in January, the service has been growing steadily and has been very well received by clients and referring organisations alike.
We currently have three Cyber Advisors, who work across the whole of the county. At present we do not have an advisor on the IOW but are offering telephone referrals.
To date the Cyber Bobby advisors have made 60 visits and have given eight talks to various groups. Operating three days a week and averaging 6 visits per week, the advisors have so far jointly contributed 90 volunteer hours to the service.
## **Blue Lamp Trust (Services) Ltd**
The Blue Lamp Trust (Services) Ltd was incorporated on 18 February 2020 and commenced trading on 1[st] April 2020.
## **Training activities**
Provision of taxi driver assessments remain a key income generation route. The virtual classroom courses for disability awareness and safeguarding, as well as the e learning for safeguarding, continue to be very popular. As restrictions lifted, requests for in vehicle driver training have increased.
The Trading subsidiary does not directly employ any staff, all the staff engaged on trading activities are employed by the Blue Lamp Trust and their salary costs charged across to the trading subsidiary. At the end of the year the Trading subsidiary gift aided £153,442 to the main Charity.
## **5 FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The economic climate continues to provide a challenging environment in which to operate a charity that generates income by selling training. We have had some successes with donations/grants from:
- Blue Lamp Trust Grassroots Fund
- Hampshire Constabulary
- Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service
- The Motorola Solutions Foundation
Total incoming resources for the year on income funds amounted to £381,322 (2020/21: £277,639), comprising income from investments of £10,868 (2020/21: £10,515), charitable activities £9,855 (2020/21: £29,953) and voluntary income £360,599 (2020/21: £237,171).
Total expenditure was £292,680 (2020/21: £218,480).
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have approved a Reserves Policy to meet the following objectives:
- a) That the Charity has, at all times, sufficient but not excessive reserves to meet its obligations to its employees and customers, and to comply with legislative and accounting requirements.
- b) To identify, and make prudent provision for future expenditure needs, for the proper and continued running of operations within anticipated cash flows and accounting requirements. (“Designated Funds”).
The Policy further provides that a sum equivalent to six months (50%) of the budgeted salary costs (including NIC and pension) will be held as a Critical Minimum Reserve, with a further six months
6
**BLUE LAMP TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
equivalent (50%) held as a Running Reserve. This sum is invested in four funds with CCLA, (fund managers specialising in Third Sector investment).
Free reserves are currently £497,695
## **6. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
The Cyber Bobby scheme has become established and has already been expanded to include advice on how to recognise and avoid telephone scams. The plan is to work with Hampshire Constabulary and local domestic abuse charities to develop the service to support victims of cyber stalking.
To improve the efficiency of the Bobby Scheme the intention is to issue the fitters with tablets so that all the information can be processed and stored electronically, which will significantly reduce the amount of paperwork.
As the Trust has grown, it has become necessary review some of the back-office systems, including accounting software, website payment options and VOIP phones. The aim is to update these systems as finances allow.
## **7. TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBITIES IN RELATIONTO THE ACCOUNTS**

## **THE BLUE LAMP TRUST INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022**
I report of the accounts of the company for the period ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner:**
The Charity’s Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for Independent Examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts wichi accord with the accounts records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice; Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
