Objectives and Activities
Together Liverpool exists to build a just, generous and equal society. Whilst our roots lie in the Church of England we seek to work with a wide range of organisations for the benefits of those living in our diocese.
The Objects of the charity are to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of Christian based charities in the furtherance of their objects or any one of them, mainly but not exclusively, by the provision of information, advice, support and infrastructure provision, and the relief of financial hardship, either generally or individually through the provision of grants, goods or services.
Through our work we seek to:
· Organise, develop & establish Together Liverpool as a vehicle offering targeted support for identified church related projects working in key priority areas normally identified from good practice in the area covered;
· Help individual churches to have a greater and more sustainable impact in tackling poverty in their community through resourcing and equipping;
· Network churches together and support them to build relationships with other key stakeholders in the VCFSE
· Enable churches to influence and shape social and economic policy;
· Raise the profile of faith inspired social and community action which can be overlooked as they are often self-supporting, self-sustaining and volunteer led. In setting our objectives and planning our activities the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Public Benefit
In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. By supporting local churches to better deliver their social action work across the breadth of this local communities we support the addressing of poverty and positively impact on the wellbeing of local residents.

Together Liverpool Strategic report on Activities
Progress
2022 marked the second year of the Network of Kindness and significant developments in our way of working, outlined below. The Network of Kindness was funded by a number of grant providers including National Lottery, Joseph Rank, LDBF and Feeding Britain. During the year we’ve also supported LDBF in their ‘Fit for Mission’ project and we are finalising a funding agreement that will see Together Liverpool become the partner for the delivery of 125 new social action projects over the next 7 years.
In March 2022 we were joined by our new Executive Director, James Green and in September by our new Social Action Lead Office Joseph Cottrell. Alongside the existing team and trustees much of this year’s work has been to simplify the pathways for groups to work with Together Liverpool, build a longer term relationship and enable us to therefore work at greater pace and scale across the Diocese.
Over the last 12 months a key part of this has been to develop a clear pathway to enable groups to go beyond mapping and listening in their communities, to launch new social action projects and develop of existing work. We now divide our initial work into two stages. The first is listening which includes our Community Survey and mapping exercise. The second stage is a series of 4 learning communities that are designed to facilitate the launch of new projects and the development of existing work. The Learning Communities provide a context for planning and embedding our 4 principles for sustainable social action; Listening, Connecting, Equipping and Campaigning. Through the Learning Communities groups are resourced with tools to measure their impact and the difference they’re making in their community. We’re also writing ‘How to…’ guides to support groups to setup common social action projects and connect them with partners organisations who are able to help.
Groups are then invited to become members of the Network of Kindness where they are placed into ongoing Communities of Practice. These Communities of Practice are run online and draw people together who are involved in the same social action theme (i.e. Food, Finance and Social Isolation) to build relationships, share what’s being learnt and, over time, campaign together.
Below are some of the highlights of our work from the last 12 months. We’re grateful to our funders for their generous support of our work for the last 3 years and the way they’ve made the growth, development and impact of our work possible.
Highlights from 2022
Pantries – We supported the launch of three community food pantries which, as of August 2022, have 812 members. We’re delighted to report that in August alone these pantries saved their members £49,056.28 and saw an average of 763 households attend across all sites.
Feast of Fun – Through Feast of Fun we awarded 24 grants totalling £5770 to churches who worked in local partnerships to reach approximately 2600 people including 675 children and 221 young people with food and activities during school holidays.
Network of Kindness Celebration – We held an in-person Network of Kindness Celebration in October 2022, during which we shared stories of social action projects, built connections between organisations and discussed future plans for the Network development
Launch Membership to the Network of Kindness – At the Celebration we launched membership to the Network of Kindness and we’ve welcomed 24 Champions, 10 Projects and 13 Hubs. These groups are taken from across the breadth of the Diocese of Liverpool and represent a growing number of churches, charities and individual activists.
COPs implementation – We’ve delivered our first Community of Practice for Food, Mental Health, Children and Youth, Social Isolation, Financial Inclusion for members. During these sessions we discussed and agreed the topics we’ll explore in the COPs that follow.
Develop Learning Community model – We have developed our principles-led curriculum for our Learning Communities. These sessions will include resourcing groups to measure their impact, guiding through our ‘Project Launch Guide’ and connecting to key local partners. We’ve signed 3 deaneries up to this process and we’re in active and positive conversation with a further 3.

Trustees' report continued
Mapping Deaneries – We’ve mapped 57 social action projects across the last 12 months. We’ve organised these projects around key social action themes so local groups can better understand where there is significant work taking place and what gaps there are in provision. This allows them to better plan emerging work and development through our Learning Community’s.
Cost of Living Assembly 1 & 2 – We launch a new series of ‘Cost of Living Assembly’s’ and hosted one in September 2022 and another in January 2023. In the first session we discussed the likely impact of the crisis and how groups might respond In the second we moved on to hear from 3 key local groups about their response and invited others to discuss in groups what they were doing in response. Over 60 people attended across the two events.
Building Partnerships – We’re working hard to make meaningful connections between infrastructure and resourcing organisations to local faith groups. To this end we’ve supported Kids Matter to better understand our local context, hosted an online meeting attend by 8 groups which has lead to the multiple further conversations and a significant local partner in their work. They will now build on this work by recruiting a local worker. We’ve supported Leeds based charity Zarach to develop a local partnership that will enable them to tackle ‘bed poverty’ in Liverpool. We’ve formed a new partnership with Meals & More to facilitate the delivery of 1500 meals during the upcoming Easter holidays. We’ve begun conversations with Life with Kindness, a local mental health CIC and Welcome Churches about how we can work collaboratively to bring their expertise to Network of Kindness members.
Events – We partnered with Christian Aid to host ‘After the Flood’, which gathered 30 climate activists to explore the intersection between racial justice and climate change. We also supported William Bell, Christian Aid’s Head of Middle East Policy and Advocacy, as he presented Christian Aids new report ‘Where is Palestine? A story of loss, inequality and failure’. Both of these events engaged grassroots activists and served to deepen our critical thinking and relationships as we explored complex issues together.
Communications - We sent out 15 newsletters sharing news, events, stories, resources, and campaigns about social action during the year, reaching an average audience of 908 recipients. Our social media following has grown to 1,660 across Twitter and Facebook via which we’ve reached an audience of 67,162 people resulting in 2,401 interactions.
Storytelling – We continue to amplify the voices of local activists and projects. We achieved this by producing 3 videos focusing on projects supported by the Network of Kindness. The highlight projects were a pantry in St Helens, a community garden in Wigan and a Place of Welcome in Southport. These videos were shown at our Celebration as well as being made available to the groups for their own use
Trainee Clergy Training – We’ve delivered two sessions to two different groups of curates around developing their understanding of poverty in their community, the role of the church in responding and considering what they might practically do. Across the sessions we’ve trained 16 curates.
Real Conversations – Through a joint bid with other Together Network members we have access funding from central governments Faith New Deal. We hosted community conversations which gathered over 150 participants across 6 locations in 12 meetings to discuss their communities. This work amplified the voices of some of the most vulnerable in their community.
Places of Welcome – We’ve supported two new Places of Welcome to open in the last year, and delivered an information session on Places of Welcome to groups interested in this programme to help tackle social isolation.
We continue to work towards structural changes to systems which create and embed inequalities. We are part of the VS6 group, representing faith-based organisations across the City Region, the City Region’s Poverty and Life chances group. Through VS6 we supported the writing of a paper on ‘Sustainable and Affordable Food for Liverpool City Region: Recommendations for Change’ We continue to support campaigns to influence public policy and champion justice for all including No Child Left Behind’s ‘Free School Meals for All’ and the Clewer Initiatives ‘Make it Slavery free’ campaigns.

Goals for charity development in 2023
In 2023 we intend to continue building on the solid foundation we’ve laid so far. We will be focussing on:
-
Growing our Network of Kindness members to 150 champions, projects and hubs. This will enable us to develop connections between members across the diocese and facilitate greater peer to peer learning and support through our Community of Practice work.
-
Develop Communities of Practice in underdeveloped social action themes within churches such as displaced people and county lines.
-
Deliver Learning Communities across 4 deaneries and engaging approximately 60 churches in that process.
-
Mapping social action projects in a further 5 key geographical areas in the diocese.
-
Launch 12 new Places of Welcome.
-
Expand our offer to Members including Feast of Fun and our new ‘Meet the Funders’ series.
-
Identify new opportunities for us to resource Network of Kindness members in their social action
-
Secure a new funding streams to replace the National Lottery grant as we enter into the final funding year from them.
Financial Review
The operational deficit on the general fund during the year (£21,370) ((£13,561): 2021)
As at 31 December 2022 total unrestricted funds of £43,378 were held.
Risk Management
The trustees are developing an ongoing risk management strategy which comprises:
-
an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces;
-
the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the
-
annual review; and
-
the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the
-
charity should those risks materialise.
Financial sustainability continues to be a major risk. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts as they fall due, regular liaison with the bank and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital by the charity.
The charity follows the staffing, health and safety, safeguarding, financial and all other guidance, policies and procedures outlined by its two partner organisations: the Diocese of Liverpool and Church Urban Fund.
Reserves policy
The charity’s free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £42,093 . The trustees have adopted a policy to retain sufficient funds to enable the smooth running of the charity and to enable an orderly winding up should that become necessary. The policy is reviewed regularly. The level of reserves to be maintained is 6 months of future budgeted core costs. Our working budget forecast our reserves to be £54,752 for 2022.
The year-end position is adequate for the revised level of activity and proposed staffing recruitment for 2023.

Statement of Directors' responsibilities
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial accounts for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's report to the trustees of Together Liverpool
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022 set out on pages 11 to 20
Respective responsibilities of the 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 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:
q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
q to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
q state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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:
q to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to 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.

2.8 Taxation
The charity is not liable to income tax or capital gains tax on its charitable activities.
3 Transactions with trustees and related parties
No trustees received any remuneration or expenses during the accounting period.
Owing to the nature of the charity's activities and the composition of the board of trustees (being drawn from local statutory and voluntary organisation), it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a trustee may have an interest. All transactions in which a trustee may have an interest are conducted at arm's length and in accordance with the charity's financial regulations and expenditure procedures. No transactions were indentified which should be disclosed under FRS 102.
