As advocates for change through positive working relationships with service providers, we offer services, facilitation and tools to secure improved, person-centred services. We are proud of what we achieve in a range of settings, bringing people together to challenge processes, practice and perceptions improving person-centred working. This Annual Report for 2023 – 2024 shares our story of continued growth in our scope and scale of offer and the difference we make to people’s lives. Our flexible and evolving shape continues to serve us well and we look to a positive future working alongside key partners. Our position as co-production advocates is stronger than ever and is a key focus for us. We explore all opportunities to enhance our offer to the people of Lincolnshire and beyond and look forward to even more new workstreams and projects over the next year. The Board and I would like to thank our volunteers, staff team, Associates, partners, and our Chief Executive for their dedicated contributions to our work to support the wellbeing of people in Lincolnshire. In particular, I praise the team for their unending creativity, flexibility and willingness to ensure Every-One develops and evolves in an environment of constant change, challenge and uncertainty.

This is done through the development of personalised services, project development and delivery of training and awareness raising sessions. ## Our Objectives The objectives of the charity are: For the benefit of the public, the promotion of the relief of carers, former carers, and the people for whom they care, by: a) providing advice, training, education, information, services and assistance to carers, former carers and the people for whom they care; b) raising public awareness of carers, former carers and the people for whom they care such awareness to include their needs; c) facilitating communication - among carers, former carers and the people for whom they care; and between such aforementioned persons and employers, policy makers and service providers; and d) providing preventative services in order to reduce the requirement for care. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **6** of **18** Our Vision: **Every-One makes wellbeing personal with everyone we support** ## Our Mission: **We connect, collaborate with and coordinate services that commit to placing people at the centre of their own wellbeing, through enabling individual choice and control** ## Our Principles: - **People should be at the centre of their own health and social care through having choice and control** - **Services should be built around the person and not the process** - **Many people need support to exercise their choice and control effectively** - **People are the experts in their own lives and sharing their lived experiences can improve services and support** - **Where possible, people are best supported within the community they live in and in a way that recognises the whole person** ## Our Values: _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **7** of **18** ## **Ensuring our work delivers our aims** We review our aims, objectives, and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. It helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives. ## **The focus of our work** Our main objectives for the year continued to be to improve the lives of people by working in partnership with them. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included: - Development and provision of a range of services to people. - Working with people with lived experience to develop, design and deliver services. - Working with commissioners to deliver a range of projects and services. ## **How our activities deliver public benefit** In deciding the activities of the charity, the Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission guidance regarding public benefit. Our main activities and who we help are detailed below. All our charitable activities focus on improving the lives of people and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. Every-One funds its services through a range of grants, commissioned and chargeable services. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **8** of **18** ## Who used & benefitted from our services? Every-One is a Lincolnshire based organisation. Lincolnshire is the 4[th] largest county in England with one of the fastest-growing county populations as people come here from other parts of the UK and overseas. Lincolnshire has 724,500 residents (2013 mid-year estimates) which represents a 1.51% increase on the 713,700 residents in 2011 (2011 Census). Our objects do not, however, limit our services to Lincolnshire. In 2023/2024, our facilitation of co-production with people with lived experience working with health and care services grew significantly. Our new work areas such as Cancer Co-production on the East Coast of Lincolnshire, Palliative & End of Life, and MSK (Hip & Knee replacements) has built us as an expert resource and key facilitator for co-production in the County. Our Peri Meri Menopause project has proved highly successful with a programme of support being developed which has since led to a successful lottery funding application for 3 years. Our work also benefits people who are cared for and specific communities through a range of services and activities including our Short Break Caravans at Butlins, Skegness, facilitation of the Lincolnshire Military, Veteran and Families Wellbeing Network and also Stardust. We are growing our wellbeing / personalisation training offer and support a range of people through direct training delivery, focusing on person-centred approaches and hearing from people with lived experience. Equal access to services is important to us and we strongly believe that no one should be disadvantaged when engaging with our services. We make every effort to be flexible with timing, travel arrangements etc. We proactively work with people with lived experience to share their stories and to shape services for the better. We have built a network of dedicated people who work with us to develop services through coproduction, volunteer-led projects and through direct delivery of support. ## Strategic Engagement & Influencing Policy An important part of the work of Every-One is our strategic engagement with partners from statutory, private, and voluntary sectors. We proactively raise awareness of person-centred approaches and champion the value of co-production across services through influencing policy, strategies, and services. We do that by working with people with lived experience to co-produce services, policy, and practice. We continue to be instrumental in the development and delivery of strategic work, for example, we have been involved in the delivery of the ‘It’s All About People’ Personalisation agenda in Health and Social Care and also instrumental in the development of the Lincolnshire Our Shared Agreement, both of which are key enablers within health and care strategies in Lincolnshire. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **9** of **18** We attend a wide range of events, meetings and workshops across the county to ensure that the wellbeing agenda and person-centred approaches are visible and active. ## Training Our training offer continues to develop and we have a core offer that includes: - What is Co-production? - Writing a Person-Centred Case Study - Personalisation in Care & Support Planning (accredited through the Personalised Care Institute) - Telling Your Story We have ambitions to develop and grow our training and awareness services to help influence policy and delivery. ## - Engagement and Co production Our motto ‘Making Wellbeing Personal’ is at the core of our work. Every effort is made to ensure that people are involved with our work, and they help to develop and design our services and those of partner agencies. In 2023/24 we facilitated over 405 hours’ worth of co-production in a range of settings and with a wide range of people. This has become the foundation of how we ensure that wellbeing is personal. We were also invited many times to present at conferences and events about the benefits of co-production which we welcomed as an opportunity to influence policy across partner agencies. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **10** of **18** ## Our Services We deliver a range of direct services, activities and training working in partnership with other service providers across the county. Some of these are detailed below. ## **Stardust** Working with parents, Every-One facilitates Stardust, a musical theatre and drama group for young adults with additional needs. Based in Lincoln, the group meets weekly and work towards performances which are always a joy to watch. The group meet socially, and we have seen their confidence and skills develop. The members are proud to be part of Stardust and we are proud to be able to support them. ## **Peri Meri Menopause moments** With funding from SHINE, we were able to develop and research a programme of support for those experiencing menopause symptoms. The programme offered a range of sessions in different locations, receiving excellent feedback from participants. This project laid the foundations for our successful Lottery Funding application in 2024 which is enabling delivery of a 3 year programme. ## **Short Break Caravans** Every-One manages two short break caravans at Butlins, Skegness, on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council. The caravans offer much needed and affordable short breaks for families with a child with a disability. We receive feedback from families that the breaks have a positive impact on their wellbeing, and through greater promotion we have increased the number accessing breaks over time. ## **Lincolnshire Military, Veterans and Families Network** Every-One is delighted to facilitate this Network. The group meets bi-monthly and provides a networking opportunity to service providers as well as presentations, information sharing and the opportunity for joint working. The group meets online, and the membership continues to grow. In support of our work with the Armed Forces community, we were very pleased to receive the Silver Award from the Armed Forces Covenant. ## **Our Shared Agreement** As co-production facilitation lead, we have worked alongside partners from health, care and people with lived experience to develop this framework that aims to change the conversation between people and services across Lincolnshire. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **11** of **18** ## **NHS Charities Together** Every-One is pleased to facilitate both the Lincolnshire Managing Excessive Tiredness & Fatigue Co-production Group (formerly Long Covid) and the NHS Staff Carers Group as part of the NHS Charities Together project for Lincolnshire. These groups support the work of the wider programme with partners at Lincolnshire County Council Connect To Support, Active Lincolnshire and SHINE. The funding is made available through LVET. ## **Better Lives Lincolnshire – Co-producing Health & Care** Every-One was commissioned to research and report on the key ingredients needed to ensure that Lincolnshire is excellent at Co-production. Using a co-production approach, the report was approved in Spring 2024 by the Lincolnshire Integrated Care System. ## **C.A.K.E. (Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange)** Working with the University of Lincoln, we have developed an innovative approach to engaging the public in academic research through co-production. We can support academic researchers to identify key points in the research cycle, where co-production with public participants can inform and enrich research, from project design and funding applications, through to the dissemination of findings, giving them the tools and confidence to do this well. ## **Lincolnshire County Council – Co-production Strategic Partner** Every-One has worked extensively with Lincolnshire County Council to support Adult Carer & Community Wellbeing services to embrace co-production approaches into their work. This has been done through delivering: - Co-production Awareness Training across all teams - Facilitating 2 cohorts of Co-production Champion training and ongoing mentoring - Facilitating a number of co-production projects around specific work areas - Co-produced a range of support tools for staff and Champions ## **Co-production** Every-One continues to grow a positive track record of co-production development and facilitation within Lincolnshire. During 2022 – 2023 we facilitated a range of co-production pieces including: - Lincolnshire Cancer Co-production Group & Mablethorpe Cancer Co-production group - Lincolnshire Palliative & End of Life Co-production Group - Lincolnshire Long Covid Co-production Group - Kisimul Schools Co-production Support - MSK (Muscular Skeletal) Co-production Group _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **12** of **18** ## Networking Every-One has successfully developed its networking and engagement with wider partners. These include: - Lincolnshire Voluntary Engagement Team (VET) - Lincolnshire Military, Veterans and Families Wellbeing Network - Involving Lincs - National Voices - Lincolnshire Care Association (LinCA) ## Financial Review Every-One has continued to deliver its services and project work against a backdrop of challenges within the Health and Care sector within Lincolnshire but also the aftermath of global pandemic. We have generated additional funding for a range of projects from various sources and continue to deliver against the targets of that work. Much of our work has been made possible by the hard work and commitment of the people with lived experience who are willing to share those experiences with services. The Board and staff have worked hard to develop new workstreams that generate sustainable income and have submitted a wide range of funding applications. ## Principal Funding Sources Every-One has successfully attracted the following funding for which we are very grateful: - Lincolnshire County Council - Short Break Caravans - Strategic Co-production Partnership working - - SHINE - Peri Meri Menopause Project - Lincolnshire Integrated Care Board - Lincolnshire Macmillan Cancer Co-production - Mablethorpe Cancer Co-production - Lincolnshire Palliative and End of Life Co-production _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **13** of **18** - Personalisation in Care & Support Training - Our Shared Agreement Co-production - MSK Co-production Group - LVET / NHS Charities Together - NHS Staff Carers - Managing Excessive Tiredness & Fatigue Co-production - Better Lives Lincolnshire – Integrated Care System - Co-producing Health & Care in Lincolnshire - Various donations and fundraising from individuals and groups - Training delivery fees ## Investment Policy Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserve each year, most of the charity’s funds are to be spent either in the short term or are committed to existing project work. As we continue to go through development as an organisation, it was not deemed appropriate to invest funds at this point as they were needed to fund our changes and sustainability of the organisation. ## Reserves Policy The Management Committee has examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3- and 6-month’s expenditures. This has been achieved and the organisation has reserves equivalent to at least 3 months running costs. As an evolving organisation, this continues to be a challenge. At 31[st] March 2024, total reserves were £248,779 of which £154,166 were unrestricted. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **14** of **18** ## Plans for Future The charity continues to evolve and look positively to the future. Our future strategic Development Plan is in place and prioritises growth and expansion in the scope and scale of what we do. The focus areas to help achieve our objectives are Quality to ensure excellence, Growth, Our Team, Delivery for everyone and Community, leaving no one behind. During the first year, we took steps to implement the plan and have successfully met some of the objectives. Future reporting will reflect how we fully implement and embed the strategic themes into the Organisation over the next 12 months. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **15** of **18** ## Structure, Governance & Management ## Governing Document The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 29[th] May 2013, and registered as a charity on 1[st] December 2015. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. Our change of name was registered at Companies House on 20[th] September 2016. ## Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of four years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in our accounts. The nature of the charity’s work focuses on carers and the people they care for and as such, the Management Committee seeks to ensure that their needs are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. The majority of the Management Committee therefore are or have been carers or cared for themselves. The Management Committee bring a broad and balanced mix of skills and experiences to the organisation. ## Trustee Induction and Training Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the organisation however any new trustees are inducted to ensure that they understand the background, business, and services, and are appraised of the risks and opportunities that the organisation faces. Opportunities for training and development are circulated to the Management Committee as and when they arise. _Making Wellbeing Personal_ Page **16** of **18** ## Key Management Remuneration Every-One has a Key Management Remuneration policy which can be found within our Policy Manual, located on our website at https://every-one.org.uk/about-us/governance/ ## Risk Management The Management Committee is aware of the major risks to the organisation through the regular reports to the Board presented by the Chief Executive Officer and these are addressed through the Organisational Risk Log document. ## Organisational Structure Every-One has a Management Committee who meet at least monthly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements. The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year in question in accordance with section 476. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. - 5 - ## **EVERY-ONE (CARES)** ## **BALANCE SHEET (CONTINUED)** ## _**AS AT 31 MARCH 2024**_ The financial statements were approved by the trustees on 11 September 2024 Ms Debra Williams (Treasurer) ## **Trustee** Company registration number 08548267 (England and Wales) - 6 - _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **EVERY-ONE (CARES)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **Charity information** Every-One (Cares) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is No 5 The Stables, Wellingore Hall, Wellingore, Lincoln, LN5 0HU. ## **1.1 Accounting convention** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. ## **1.3 Charitable funds** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. ## **1.4 Income** Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. - 7 - _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **EVERY-ONE (CARES)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** ## **1 Accounting policies** **(Continued)** Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. ## **1.5 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. ## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: General equipment 20% reducing balance per annum Computer equipment 33% straight line per annum The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. ## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). ## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. - 8 - _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **EVERY-ONE (CARES)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.9 Financial instruments** The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. ## _**Basic financial assets**_ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. ## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. ## **1.10 Employee benefits** The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. - 9 - ## **EVERY-ONE (CARES)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** ## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**_ ## **1 Accounting policies** ## **(Continued)** ## **1.11 Government grants** Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. ## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. ## **3 Donations and legacies** |**Unrestricted**
