## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

1) To develop the capacity and skills of the members of the socially and economically disadvantaged communities in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society; and 

2) To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Lippy People is an advocacy charity that uses video storytelling and coaching to support people to share their lived experiences, develop their communication, creative and video storytelling skills and use these to test out solutions to the challenges they face. We help people tell their overlooked, unheard stories and put them in front of audiences where they can make an impact and create a shift and change in relationships and perceptions. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

In addition to continuing to diversify the ‘Life, Loss, Learning, Legacy’ beneficiary experience base we have been working with people across often intergenerational, cultural and abilities barriers by creating opportunities that support people from diverse backgrounds who so often find themselves socially excluded or unheard. 

Our National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund ‘Life, Loss, Learning, Legacy (4L’s) project has continued to build on our work with learning disabled adults and carers through the delivery of five project across Leeds, which has led to 25 video stories being created and shared. The stories include themes around the death of loved ones and friends, LGBTQI+ experience, the importance of memories surrounding people and places, plus other life experiences involving significant life change. Within this project we have also distributed a number of tablets on behalf of the Good Things Foundation to improve digital inclusion amongst learning disabled adults. All published video stories from this project can be viewed on our website www.lippypeople.org 

We delivered a 4Ls project with people living with or caring for loved ones with the genetic disease Huntington’s. The project was supported by our partners, including Sheenam’s Wish and Jeans For Genes. The 3 video stories produced and shared focused on South Asian experiences and have been used as awarenessraising and discussion tools. All published video stories from this project can be viewed on our website www.lippypeople.org 

The 4L’s project also built on its support for people providing unpaid care to loved ones living with asbestosrelated diseases in South Yorkshire by helping them share their experiences with peers and decision makers. The project was supported by the Postcode Lottery and SARAG - The Yorkshire and Humberside Asbestos Support Group. All published video stories from this project can be viewed on our website www.lippypeople.org 

In addition to the 4Ls video story making, the project has provided and contributed to a number of screening and discussion events that have validated lived experiences and raised awareness of the differing challenges our storytellers are living with.

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Film Commissions:** 

We took on two film commissions this year. These are: 

‘Barber Talk: Looking Good, Feeling Better’, is a series of short films featuring barbers from Leeds and West Yorkshire which were commissioned and produced in a collaboration with Leeds Mind, with financial support from West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership. The Barber Project aimed to help barbers from African, Caribbean, and South Asian backgrounds improve their confidence with the mental health conversations many of them were already having with their customers. Leeds Mind developed the Barber Talk videos in collaboration with experienced barbers from these communities. The hope was to create safer communal spaces in barbershops which helps tackle the health inequalities faced by men from African, Caribbean, and South Asian backgrounds. For more information, see https://www.leedsmind.org.uk/barber-films/ 

‘ABCD in Leeds is a short film commissioned by Leeds City Council that promotes Asset-Based Community Development in the city.  For more information, see https://youtu.be/6GZbVFJlyH8?si=QYScoOad2ngyEHD8 

‘Ravenshall School’ is a large day special school which caters for pupils with complex needs in Dewsbury. We are in the mid-stages of a film project with pupils about their lived experience as students at the school and what a day at school looks like to them. This is a delivery testing project to explore how we might work in schools to capture the lived experience of students as it relates to various aspects of school life. 

We also continued to extensively test collaborative and creative ways of understanding the difference the 4L’s project makes with diverse beneficiary and partnership groups. We have embedded mixed-media learning reporting processes, which we continue to build on with more peer-to-peer learning engagement through increased volunteering. 

You can keep up to date by viewing all of our available video stories via our website - www.lippypeople.org or by searching YouTube for the Lippy People channel. 

## **Working in Partnership**

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

## **Equality Monitoring** 

During the period we supported 133 primary beneficiaries and storytellers to tell and share video stories of their lived experiences of bereavement, loss and life-changing health. We collected equality monitoring information from these storytellers, as well as those involved in the traded work we carried out.  The key information from the equality monitoring information collected (as provided) was: 

Ethnic background White British = 86 Afro-Caribbean = 7 African = 7 Arabic = 1 South Asian = 29 Mixed = 3 

Gender Female = 58 Male = 74 Non-Binary/prefer not to say = 3 

Disability Disabled = 81 Not disabled = 52 Religion or Belief Christian = 39 Atheist = 2 Muslim = 21 Hindu = 2 Sikh = 1 Not disclosed = 68 

Sexual orientation Heterosexual = 40 LGBTQ+ = 6 Not disclosed = 87 

Age 0 - 14 years = 31 15 - 19 years = 5 20 - 24 years = 4 25 - 34 years = 14 35 - 44 years = 34 45 - 54 years = 20 55 - 64 years = 12 65 - 74 years = 6 75 - 84 years = 7 85+ years = 0 

We are aware that there was a broad non-disclosure around faith and sexual orientation within the equality monitoring information. We are therefore working with our support partners to identify ways in which we can continue to collect accurate data in the future, especially where the information provider requires an advocate to support them with this task.

## The Lippy People Charitable Trust 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

We also provided learning opportunities to secondary beneficiaries of the 4L’s project. These are people who either attended one of 8 small and personal screening and discussion events; supported family members with gathering stories and visual information including photographs; people who have discussed the themes of the video stories within closed training and awareness events led by our support partners; and people who have viewed video stories online or via social media. It is not possible for us to connect the equality monitoring information of secondary beneficiaries due to the varied forms of engagement by secondary beneficiaries but having spoken to support partners and family members counted attendance lists at events and viewed the number of online hits on video stories, we estimate the number of secondary beneficiaries in this year to be 3,821. This includes 349 people engaging face-to-face and a further 3,472 engaging online. 

Since 2018, our video stories of lived experiences have shared 36,776 separate online views. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our storytellers for the commitment they have shown, the support they have given their peers and the inspiration we all draw from their lived experiences. 

## **Building New Opportunities for 2025-2026** 

Our strategic priorities for 2025-2026 are: 

‘Life, Loss, Learning Legacy’ projects - people living with learning disabilities and physical disabilities, asbestosrelated diseases, caring and catastrophic injuries and carers; 

Sharing Impact video story projects - traded projects within the third sector; 

Advocacy ‘one-off’ video storytelling projects within the third sector that raise awareness of storytellers' lived experiences. 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £34,405, including net income of £6,582 on unrestricted funds and net income of £27,823 on restricted funds after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £38,709. 

Lippy People has an aspiration to build up reserves to cover overhead costs should ongoing operational incomes not be forthcoming. We currently have a maximum reserve policy level of £35,000 or 6 months running costs (whichever is greater) and aim to retain a minimum reserve of £10,000.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial 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 charitable company for the year. In preparing these 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; 

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Lippy People Charitable Trust 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 10 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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** 

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 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.
