## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity's objects are for the public benefit to protect and promote the mental and emotional health in Bourne and surrounding areas of Lincolnshire, by facilitating the provision and development of an affordable counselling service. 

The charities objectives are for the public benefit to protect and promote the mental and emotional health in Bourne and surrounding areas of Lincolnshire, by facilitating the provision and development of an affordable counselling service. The charity offers a means related counselling service which provides between 8 and 12 free counselling sessions for children in receipt of free school meals and for adults on state benefits. The charity then offers a sliding scale of costs dependent on household income. These are provided from the premises of the charities sites in Bourne, Lincolnshire. 

The charity aims to improve awareness and understanding of social, emotional and mental health within the ‘area of benefit’, primarily through, but not limited to, the delivery of workshops and information sessions both within the centre and externally through education provisions. Don’t Lose Hope are now certified and registered to deliver Mental Health First Aid Level 2 and 3 to schools and workplaces. 

Having a premises that offers a social enterprise café, we are able to provide an informal arena for people to come and chat, socialise and be supported as well as be guided to the appropriate support and to deal with any mental health issues or barriers they may be experiencing. The café is now in partnership with the Clinical Commissioning Group to provide a Night Light Café two evenings a week, this gives people to opportunity to access non-clinical support in the evening. The café also hosts the Empowerment Academy which is a psychoeducational group for pre-teen and teenage girls, a bereavement support group, menopause support group and group clinical supervision sessions. 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

_**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_ 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Through our counselling and play therapy service we have provided 5,763 counselling sessions to adults, children and young people this financial year. 2,176 of these have been provided free of charge and a further 2,180 subsidised.  56% of clients have been aged between 4 – 16 years of age.  We have also provided 1,365 counselling sessions to primary secondary schools in our local area, this enables children and young people to work 1 to 1 or in a group with our counsellors within their educational setting. 

Don't Lose Hope has become part of the NHS's Mental Health Transformation Programme offering a Night Light Cafe two evenings a week. This is a safe space where people can drop in and access non clinical mental health support and is targeting reducing social isolation. From here they can be signposted to other services if necessary. This was initially a pilot scheme for the NHS, and due to the success, growth and continual benefit for those who attend, we have been provided with the financial support to run this for the coming 12 months with a view to review at the end of this term. 

We are very confident and proud of the ability to continue with last year’s pilot scheme supporting young people through drama. The “Runaway theatre” was set up to help young people aged between 11 and 16 build confidence and self-esteem through drama, music and art. This programme is now entering its’ second year and the group are planning a performance later this year.  This has supported over 40 young people since its’ creation. The parents of the young people who attend have reported a real growth in the confidence and enjoyment of their children. This group is run by 2 young people who have both received support in the past and now, as adults are able to use their experiences and qualifications to support others. 

The charity are running bereavement groups for children, these are 6 week rolling programmes offered free of charge. These are run by 2 of our counsellors and are proving very effective in supporting young people.  We are also offering an ongoing fortnightly bereavement group for adults. This is known as “Option B” and is led by 2 volunteers who are themselves bereaved. We have guided them through their mental health first aid course and are on hand should any issues arise. This group is well attended and they are bringing in guest speakers to support the delivery of certain aspects of their provisions. 

The expansion of mental health support around the Bourne area was given a more cohesive approach opportunity in an attempt to reach a broader range of participants through our link with Art Pop-Up. Through this link, we were able to provide a “Well-Being Map” of the area. This gives both a graphical and online representation of the spaces and opportunities for people within the area to access support and spaces which have been highlighted as supporting people’s mental health. 

The charity secured the lease on the top 2 floors of their current building. This has been refurbished and has allowed for another 70 counselling sessions per week through the creation of an additional 5 support spaces. 

Don’t Lose Hope are a placement provider to trainee counsellors who are currently participating in a level 4 or above at local colleges and the Sherwood Institute. 

Don’t Lose Hope delivers First Aid for mental Health qualification courses up to Level 3. These are accredited by NUCO and we are the chosen deliverer of mental health training for South Kesteven District Council their staff and partners along with other local businesses. We are also able to provide bespoke mental health based training, and have been used again by the local district council in the delivery of targeted support training for their staff, and volunteers.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT  (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_ 

The Don’t Lose Hope’s (More Than Just a Gift) shop is now in its’ second year of trading.  We have recently launched our online shop to increase the reach of the handmade items. The rear of the shop provides a space for seven creative workshops supporting around 30 people every week. These sessions are designed to promote positive mental health and reduce social isolation and loneliness. With groups continually progressing with their skills and activities, these are not only spaces which provide mental health support, but also learning and opportunities to create items which are then sold on in the shop space. 

The charity continues to provide a fully functioning community garden and shed workshop space which is available for all, 47.5 hours per week. The space continues to recycle waste and works with local companies to repurpose their wooden waste for projects to raise funds for the charity. The users of the shed continue to create many wooden items that are sold in the gift shop. 

This gives them purpose and a sense of worth as well as raising funds for the counselling services. With our raised beds providing vegetables and fruit for consumption in the café and a greenhouse allowing us to grow on plants/herbs and more, the space is really developing and being used well by the community. 

We have been able to use seeds from our own produce to grown on and expand our plant and herb selection. Children’s play tables and wooden stepping stones in a barked area are well used and continue to provide a diverse cross generational space alongside planting beds and herb gardens. The concrete paths allow full access to wheelchair users and those with reduced mobility, these are being utilised regularly by a local school for children with special needs, both learning and mobility based. With groups in the shed and garden providing continuity and regularity for support, the community is really embracing the activities and services provided within the space.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF DON'T LOSE HOPE CIO** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Don't Lose Hope CIO (the charity) for the year ended 30 September 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of FCA, which is one of the listed bodies. 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

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 that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

**Approval copy DON'T LOSE HOPE CIO NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

_**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Don't Lose Hope CIO is a legal form of corporate body with limited liability designed specifically for charities. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document],  the Charities Act 2011 and "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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn. 

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 Transition in preparation basis** 

The charity has gross income in excess of £250,000 this year and the accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis.  The comparatives have also been prepared on this basis and are therefore restated when compared to the prior year submitted accounts. 

## **1.3 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. 

## **1.4 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 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. 

## **1.5 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.

**Approval copy DON'T LOSE HOPE CIO** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

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. 

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. 

## **1.6 Expenditure** 

Income and expenses are included in the financial statements as they become receivable or due. 

Expenses include VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim it. 

## **1.7 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: 

|Leasehold improvements|10% straight line per annum|
|---|---|
|Plant and equipment|25% reducing balance per annum|
|Fixtures and fittings|25% reducing balance per annum|
|IT equipment|25% reducing balance 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 net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

## **1.8 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). 

## **1.9 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.

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.10 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. 

## **1.11 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.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022**_ 

## **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.
