## TRUSTEE OPENING 

The phrase ‘famous last words’ spring to mind when reflecting on the past year.  In my previous report, my first in the role, I reflected on the challenges experienced in 2020 and expressed a desire, and some optimism, that they would not be replicated!  Alas, as we know, the pandemic and its consequences continued into 2021. 

People continued to experience the damage caused by Covid and its devastating consequences on domestic abuse, poverty, and physical and mental health - all of which have a detrimental impact on our young people.  This was evidenced by London recording its highest number of fatalities by knife crime!  A desperately sad record that none of us wanted to see. 

Unfortunately, with the cost of living also increasing and about to skyrocket, we fear these challenges are likely to continue for some time yet.  However, so will the passion and commitment of our team to make a difference and reduce the negative effects on our young people and their families. I commend their excellent work and dedication against the backdrop of such challenging circumstances.  It really is great to witness the connection and trust our team develop with our young people and the difference they make is tangible. 

The ongoing challenges demonstrate the need for our services and strengthen our resolve to expand our reach. Under the excellent stewardship of our CEO, we continue to grow and develop our relationship with the schools we work with, helping teachers to better support their young people, and their parents.  The knowledge and skills of our Youth Workers and Mentors has also grown to help them provide a greater range of support and develop the resilience necessary to witness daily the impact of such tough circumstances on our young people. 

Our family of supporters is crucial in our ability to deliver our work and I would like to extend our thanks to our Trustees who give up their time to support Eliza and the team and steer and develop our services.  Particular thanks to former Trustees Stephanie Larnder and Giselle Brown whose guidance and expertise over a number of years made a significant contribution to our growth and development. 

We also extend our continued and warmest thanks and appreciation to our funders and partners. Your ongoing support is invaluable and will help us to realise our exciting goals for the coming year. 

There is still much to do and we look forward to sharing the outcomes with you in our next report! 


Thank you. 

**Monica Beckles Chair Lives Not Knives** 



## CEO OPENING 

Following a year of uncertainties we were once again dominated by COVID-19 restrictions, however, I am extremely proud of every member of the LNK team and our extended support network of volunteers. The team at Lives Not Knives continued to put the young people first and were able to adapt to the changes in mood, behaviour and attitude in a lot of the young people we work with, in schools in Croydon with LNK Educate funded by YEF, as well as the support we give from the LNK Unit, with LNK Engage funded by donations. 

Due to the changes in young people, as well as the various lock downs that were known  to effect mental well-being, management worked closely to create a new health and well being policy, to better support our staff, and in turn to better support young people. All staff are now offered counselling as well as mandatory weekly 1 2 1’s to discuss their case loads with their manager. All staff also completed further training on domestic violence, sexual health and bereavement, to feel better equipped on current issues during their mentoring sessions. 

Following sessions with teachers and other community meetings, it was made clear that more community resources were needed, and with a number of phone calls also coming from parents, the team created a resource on knife crime, youth violence and gangs for parents and carers. The resource provides guidance on how to have difficult conversations on youth violence with children, identifying warning signs that a child may be being exploited and further information on county lines. This  was widely shared with the families we work with and the wider Lives Not Knives community. 

Internally, we’ll continue to prioritise our young people. In 2021, this included the continuation of LNK Educate, giving young people 1 2 1 support to make them feel more empowered to be in school and make the right decisions for their futures. We would also continue to give young people on the poverty line, who are often not fed 3 meals a day without the help of free school meals, a hot meal and fun activities during the school holidays- as part of LNK Engage. 


To our supporters for working with us to raise awareness and vital funds, we are extremely grateful for coming on this journey with us – our work wouldn’t exist without you. 

We hope to continue our work to prevent knife crime, and youth violence, as well as support those in the community who need us most.

## FINANCES 

## **Income - £511,709** 

Income increased by £28,000 compared to the previous year, this is due to receiving £55,000 more in personal and corporate donations. 

**Costs - £361,715** 

Costs have increased by £13,000 compared to the previous year, this is due to us purchasing new computers, as well as designating more funds towards staff wellbeing, and staff training. 



## LNK ENGAGE 

LNK Engage is a programme that supports young people from our LNK Unit in Croydon.  Through Engage we run Youth Hub, an after school club, on Mondays and Fridays from 3.30pm – 6.30pm.  We also run a holiday programme through all school holidays including half terms, that supports young people who are on free school meals, to have a  place to still be a child and make new friends. 

## 549 

young people aged 11 – 19 attended Youth Hub throughout the year giving them a safe space, access to a mentor on site and equipment to support young people with their homework, college applications and CVs. 

young people aged 8 - 14 attended throughout the holiday programme providing 1050 hot meals to young people as well as cultural trips to museums, and fun activities such as 351 bowling, ice skating and team sports days. 

90% 

of young people across both programmes were black and minority ethnic. 100% of all young people who attend the holiday programme are signed up online by their parents or carers.  Young people who attend youth hub, do so off of their own accord. 





## **LNK Engage - Case Study** 

Jake is a people person. For a child in Year 5 going into Year 6, it is rather impressive to see his level of communication, which is by far his greatest strength.  Jake can effectively communicate with children that are: older or younger than him, from different backgrounds, with other innate qualities – either introverted or extroverted, and in some cases, those with SEND (ADHD and Autism). Jake has impressively been able to have engaging and exciting conversations with some of the youth workers and, on many occasions, make us laugh! 

Jake was initially very quiet and reserved, dependent on his friend to engage with others and in activities at the LNK Unit. Jake now takes the lead in many activities and has vocally expressed a desire to lead in new activities that he has in mind and share with the rest of the group (i.e., sports events). Jake is now a very independent character and will do what he wants to do without waiting for the approval of others. Jake is also very inclusive and likes to get all of the kids involved. 

Jake has thrown himself into everything he has done and has never shied away from activities, and it has been amazing seeing him learn new skills, and one that he has adopted is his table tennis skills! 

Jake is also a very caring, empathetic, and kind young man, often checking on the wellbeing of his peers. Jake’s improvements and development have been natural, organic, genuine and self-acquired - I believe that the LNK Summer Programme helped Jake bring them to light. The Summer Programme was a safe space for Jake  that allowed him to express himself freely, without judgement, letting him grow and be himself. The youth workers were able to engage with Jake, and at times stimulate him past the point that his peers may not have been able to – through thoughtful, insightful and patient dialogue. Jake benefitted, at a level of personal growth, from the LNK Summer Programme, and it would be a pleasure to see Jake continue to engage with LNK 


The name in this case study has been changed, to protect the child’s identity, this case study was written by **Jack Price (Lead Youth Worker)** 




## LNK EDUCATE 

The LNK Educate programme is focused around prevention and it is dual-pronged, meaning there is both a "universal" and "targeted" element. It is a whole school approach and teachers are taught how to deliver workshops in class so all young people aged between 9-14 at the participating school will benefit from up to 6 educational lessons on the dangers of knife crime. A limited number will also be referred for 1-2-1 mentoring – those referred are at the highest risk of being excluded from school. This could be because they are in a Gang, have carried a knife, have been arrested, abuse drugs and alcohol, or have various special educational needs, mental health needs that have yet to be diagnosed and need more support in school. It could also be because of various needs at home that aren’t being fulfilled by parents and they need a mentor. 

The LNK Educate team is comprised of 7 youth workers who are based in 9 schools in the borough of Croydon. 4 of these are Primary schools and 5 are Secondary's, with each school having between 1 and 3 mentors based there on a weekly basis depending on the perceived level of need. In addition, LNK also work in a number of areas in the borough of Croydon to make our work as far-reaching and wide-ranging as possible. These areas include: South Norwood, Thornton Heath, Coulsdon, New Addington and Purley. 

After the schools have agreed to partner with LNK for the academic year, the first step in the programme is beginning the process that is required for the "universal" element. This involves the Project Manager and Lead Youth Worker going into the schools and completing a teacher training session with all the school staff who will be tasked with delivering the resources to the relevant year groups. Once the teachers feel comfortable and confident with the content in the curriculum, the lessons are then delivered by the teachers in a way that aligns with the school timetable. 

When the teachers are trained to deliver the resources, LNK staff can then begin their work with the Designated Safeguarding Lead to collaboratively identify between 8-24 young people (according to the number of mentors based there) in the relevant year groups who they feel, based on a variety of criteria (which will be discussed later), would benefit most from 1–2-1 mentoring sessions with our qualified mentors. 

The mentors will then carry out 1-2-1 session’s on a weekly basis within the school environment and in accordance with the school timetable 





All figures are from school year September 2021-July 2022. **[LNK Educate]** 

teachers were trained to deliver LNKs Educational resources.  The resources feature 6 video interviews with different people relating to knife crime. These lessons serve to educate and raise awareness of the 

## 213 

issues surrounding knife crime, and help to foster a "whole school approach" to reducing exclusions and knife related incidents by increasing awareness amongst the students at the school, as well as the staff. 

young people, between the ages of 9 and 16 across 9 Croydon schools were in attendance for all sessions in which teachers delivered LNKs Educational resources. 

## 3750 

## 168 

young people were referred to us by teachers for varying reasons, some of them being; they were at the highest risk of exclusion, have a family background in violence or crime, have diagnosed and  undiagnosed mental health issues, or have a negative attitude towards themselves and their future. All were given weekly 1-2-1 mentoring sessions with an LNK Youth Worker during school term. 

Over the course of the YEF funded LNK Educate programme we were able to collect some data from the 168 mentees. The results are as follows : 

I have liked speaking to my mentor 95% 

My mentor is a good listener and has helped me to express myself 97% 

My mentor has helped me to enjoy school more 78% 

My mentor has helped me to engage with school more 80% 

My mentor makes me feel more supported 89% 

My mentor has helped me to think more about my actions 90% 

My mentor has given me useful advice and guidance 95% 

My mentor has helped me to understand my purpose and how I can achieve my goals 96% 

My mentor has empowered me and made me feel like I can succeed in the future 91% My mentor has helped me to understand other people better 77% 

My mentor has helped me to better understand and control my emotions 87% 




## STAFF CASE STUDY 

I am the operations manager at LNK, I oversee the day-to-day running of the Unit, the mental health and support for all LNK staff, and I am the designated safeguarding lead for all issues during the LNK Engage Programme. I first took the role at LNK, not knowing what to expect as my working experience has been corporate, so I wasn’t aware of how hands-on I needed to be in a small charity. In previous roles, there was a finance department, an HR department, a department for a department and taking on this role, I have learnt that I need to be a lot more forward-thinking and organised, as well as have a hands-on approach to every situation.  To help me with this, I completed a number of training courses, personally  and with the whole team, to support me do my job such as 

designated safeguarding lead training, safeguarding training, sexual health and domestic violence, mental health first aid, counselling, basic Human Resources and bid writing. Since joining LNK, I have learnt that all mentors have a different work style and learning approach; whilst some are very hands on others need more support. I believe that I am very open with communication and try to at least acknowledge all staff needs by having 1-2-1 conversations and being available on WhatsApp messenger in working hours, to be a sounding board as well as offer support if any safeguarding issues arise in school. I have also learnt more about Croydon and the community needs and been more engaged with the people from Croydon as well as cross-partnership 

projects with other Croydon community partners. 

In summer 2020 I took over the LNK Engage programme. The holiday programme is aimed at young people who are on free school meals.  Through 2020 – 2021 we supported 985 young people with activities like bowling, science museum and trips to Brighton. I lead sessions on what a healthy plate looks like to provide a better understanding of food groups and to how easy and inexpensive meals can be for the whole family, in a bid to support our young people who often assumed that healthy eating was more expensive than eating takeaways. 

What I’ve learnt is that there is a large community in Croydon, young people and parents, that need a lot of specialised support. 80% of the young people on our programmes have additional special educational needs and we often have to tailor the support given; giving dedicated time to the young people that need it, as well as making sure we have 5 young people per mentor and that all mentors are given training and a brief ahead of time to understand each young persons needs. Although we do not have a specific programme for parents, a 

lot of them are in need of an adult to talk and often call me to have conversations on gang’s knife crime and 

violence.

## THANK YOU

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCCA which is one of the listed bodies.

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 accounts to be reached.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of 

## Lives Not Knives 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lives Not Knives ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 accounts 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** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCCA which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 accounts to be reached.

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
