Public Benefit

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Board of Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the profit or loss of the company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Objectives and activities

The Charity aims to promote public good and the improvement of health and social care services across greater London, by promoting the voice and views of the local community in health and wellbeing matters. The Charity also seeks to advance the education of the public in health and social care.

Our aim is to reach out to everyone in our communities by:

In 2024–25, Listen to Act continued to deliver high-quality community engagement and insight work, primarily through its hosting of the Healthwatch Enfield service, alongside several research and engagement projects across North West London in partnership with NIHR ARC NWL and Imperial College London

Achievements & Performance

Healthwatch Enfield

During the year, Healthwatch Enfield engaged more than 3,300 local residents in conversations about health and social care, published nine reports, and provided information or advice to 183 people. Key projects included:

Healthwatch Enfield continued to act as a trusted voice for residents within the North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB), ensuring that Enfield residents’ experiences informed system-level decision-making.

Youth engagement and research partnerships

Listen to Act maintained its partnerships with NIHR ARC NWL through the ARC Outreach Alliance and Young People’s Advisory Group (YPAG), supporting young people to co-design and shape mental health research. The group continued to receive national recognition, including a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement Award from the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre.

Community and academic collaboration

LTA also contributed to studies exploring maternity care experiences among Black, African, Caribbean and mixed-heritage families, and to projects addressing digital exclusion and access barriers within health research.

Planning for the future and merger decision

Throughout 2024–25, the Trustees continued to focus on the sustainability of Listen to Act and the continuation of its mission to strengthen the voice of residents, patients and communities in shaping health and social care. Despite the strong delivery record of Healthwatch Enfield and the charity’s continued success in national research collaborations, the financial environment for small and mediumsized engagement charities remained extremely challenging. The organisation continued to face difficulties in securing sufficient unrestricted income to cover core operational costs following the loss of the core Healthwatch contract in 2022. Trustees therefore initiated a strategic review of future options in autumn 2024, considering merger, collaboration or closure.

After exploring several possibilities and receiving initial legal advice from RussellCooke, the Board determined that a merger with a values-aligned and financially stable partner offered the best route to secure staff, sustain ongoing projects, and protect the charity’s legacy. Two potential partners were shortlisted and subject to full due diligence. Following this process, Inclusion Barnet (charity no. 1158632) was selected as the preferred partner.

Alignment of charitable purpose and values

Inclusion Barnet is a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO) based in a neighbouring borough and operating within the same North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) area. Its charitable purpose is to advance equality and promote social inclusion by using the lived experience of disabled people to create more inclusive services and communities. Its vision is of a world where disabled people live their lives free from barriers and stigma, and its mission is to harness the strength and skills gained from lived experience of disability to remove barriers, challenge discrimination, and influence positive change in public services and wider society.

Inclusion Barnet’s approach centres on the social model of disability and the belief that disadvantage arises from the way society is organised rather than from individuals’ impairments or conditions. It seeks to bring about change through thought leadership, peer support, user voice, empowerment, and community development. The organisation works collaboratively with partners to ensure that disabled people can lead change, influence policy, and co-design services that meet their needs.

These aims and values are fully consistent with Listen to Act’s mission to amplify the voices of local people in health and social care and to improve wellbeing through community-led insight and engagement. Both organisations share a deep commitment to inclusivity, independence, co-production and lived experience leadership. Each seeks to ensure that health and care systems are shaped by those

7

Docusign Envelope ID: CFD1D044-062E-8561-8174-98277FBB07C1

who use them and that marginalised voices are not only heard but drive improvement.

Inclusion Barnet already delivers Healthwatch Barnet and has a strong track record in user-led policy work, research partnerships and community development. This experience, alongside its expertise in supporting disabled people and promoting equality, makes it an ideal home for the continuation of Listen to Act’s programmes, particularly Healthwatch Enfield and the ARC NWL youth engagement work.

Strategic and operational benefits

The merger provides:

Process and governance

The Trustees undertook a structured due diligence process between November 2024 and January 2025, reviewing Inclusion Barnet’s governance, finances, staffing, data management and charitable compliance. All aspects were assessed as satisfactory, with no material risks identified. The Board received regular legal guidance, and staff were consulted throughout. The Board formally resolved to proceed with the merger at its meeting on 20 January 2025, confirming Inclusion Barnet as the preferred partner.

The merger agreement and novation of the Healthwatch Enfield contract were completed in March 2025, and all staff were successfully TUPE transferred to Inclusion Barnet in early April 2025.

This decision was taken with careful consideration and, although with considerable sadness, Trustees, staff and volunteers were united in the view that the merger

Docusign Envelope ID: CFD1D044-062E-8561-8174-98277FBB07C1

offered the most responsible and sustainable way forward. It secures the continuation of Listen to Act’s core mission, ensuring that people’s voices continue to shape the health and care services they rely on, within a larger, resilient, and likeminded organisation.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Listen to Act

I report on the accounts of the company charity for the year ended 30th Sep 2025.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The 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 s. 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I’m qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

Having satisfied myself that the company charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it’s my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the company 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 explanations sought 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 prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of s. 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charitieshave 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.

Notes to the financial statements for the long period of year ended 30[th ] Sep 2025

1. Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern

The financial statements have been prepared under the liquidation basis as the charity is merged with Inclusion Barnet and closed. All the remaining assests and Liabilities transferred to Inclusion Barnet.

(b) Income

Contract income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when invoiced unless it relates to a specified future year, in which case, it is deferred.

Under other creditors we account for income collected on behalf of other organisations as part of an agreement for projects, but is later transferred to the relevant parties.

(c) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised in the year in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure is allocated to particular activities where costs relate directly to that activity.

Costs classified as “support” represent those costs associated with the governance and administration arrangements of the Charity which relate to the general running of the Charity. Such costs include office running costs, costs recharged for HR, finance, I.T. and facilities’ services provided by Hestia as well as external audit fees, legal costs, related Trustee costs and costs associated with compliance with statutory requirements.

(d) Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for charitable purposes.

(e) Restricted funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the funds.

(f) Leasing

Rentals payable under operating leases are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
