LCR PRIDE FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association , the Companies Act 2006 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)".
Objectives and activities
We aim to position Liverpool City Region as the most LGBT+ friendly region in the UK. We will do this by highlighting the daily barriers that LGBT+ people living in and visiting the region face, and by creating an inclusive culture where people feel they can fully participate and contribute.
The scope of our work spans the six boroughs of the Liverpool City Region namely, Halton, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, Liverpool and Wirral.
We purposefully champion the rights of LGBT+ people within the region in powerful, creative and empowering ways . We use our reach and influence to keep LGBT+ lives at the forefront of the region’s development and we work in partnership to provide a trusted support network and infrastructure to our diverse community.
Largely the work to achieve the objectives in this accounting period have included:
-
Establishing an identifiable and sign-posting brand for LGBT+ life in the Liverpool City Region
-
this helped the organisation foster partnerships and commercial income to fund our activity.
-
Creation of an annual campaigning theme ‘From Now On’ to focus on the message of a commitment to do better for the LGBT+ community, to campaign with their voice and to aid in community cohesion, backed up with a full online digital presence including website and social media.
-
Delivery of the 'MarchOnline' - a digital march and community event , to continue our work throughout the pandemic,
-
Continuing to establish the foundation as a ‘go-to’ organisation for policy and decision makers at all levels, enriching our work with voices from our Community Panel and also influence of local, regional and national policy through such as via consultation with local government representatives and the regions MPs.
Our charity’s trustees operate with due regard to the Charities Commission rules for Public Benefit and take this guidance into account when making decisions on behalf of the organisation:
-
Almost all public-facing activities, both digital and in-person are carried out by the charity are done so free at the point of access due to commercial sponsorship and corporate partnerships, allowing for those of all economic backgrounds to access the work of the charity. Where this is not possible, subsidised or concessionary costs are available to ensure the target audience can participate. A conscious effort is made to keep any charges to a reasonable level and chargeable activities as a minority of the charity’s operations.
-
The geographical remit of the organisation is identified as the Liverpool City Region and all efforts are made to ensure that activity, even if based in one particular area, are accessible, informed and considered as part of our operation. There is a large emphasis on digital provision which is not geographically bound as part of our charities core work.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
-
The organisation is set out to benefit the LGBT+ community and the charity uses this definition widely to encompass all those who may identify as part of that community, we also strongly support and encourage the impact of allies in our work and outcomes - maintaining our events open to all to participate in.
-
Our organisation has a strong ethos of partnership working as through this, collaboration and joint-working we believe our work, that of our partners and the wider community can be strengthened and serve our charities beneficiaries better.
Achievements and performance
LCR Pride Foundation was incorporated in January 2019 following the demise of Liverpool’s Pride charity. There was a gap left for an organisation to take forward the city’s annual pride event, but also a desire both within the community and also at regional level for the work of such an organisation to have a wider impact beyond Liverpool city and indeed an annual event.
The founding co-chairs and board strategically engaged over 400 partner organisations across the Liverpool City Region ahead of launching the foundation with their support in February 2019. This launch set out the ambition for the organisation and the inaugural events programme.
The charity has continued to grow in support year on year. The COVID-19 global epidemic meant that Pride events across the globe were cancelled or postponed. The LCR Pride Foundation has been fortunate to have retained the support of its headline sponsor, and through this funding have been able to offer an unparalleled digital offer to the City Region. The Foundation was able to offer MarchONline to the City Region, an alternative to an in person event on July 25th 2020. This opportunity for individuals, business’s and community groups to take part in a Digital Pride Protest meant over fifty organisations and hundreds of individuals took part in our first ever virtual Pride March – reaching over 2 million people online and ensuring as a community we could still stay visible
Film with Pride has also been offered continued support from the Unison North West LGBT+ Group, a longstanding partner of the project and once again due to the pandemic the Foundation adapted and diversified, transitioning away from in person screening at PictureHouse Liverpool to screenings in the comfort of peoples homes. This has engaged with record numbers of people and had a great response to Film with Pride in the digital setting.
On evaluation of the year and from both the small surplus the charity was projecting as well as identified cost savings within the 2019 and 2020 events (where things could be taken in house) the board took the decision to move to a position of employing a CEO for the charity. It was felt by the board that Andi Herring, one of the founding co-chairs of the organisation was appropriate for the role and the process for obtaining the relevant approvals for this to take place began.
Despite the approaching issues of COVID19, the charity had managed to establish itself, provide a replacement for a no-longer existing organisation, generate commercial income and deliver its initial event programme - beginning our journey for the wider support and ambitions within the Liverpool City Region.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Financial review
Total income for the year amounted to £ 7,668 (20 20 : £ 239,980 ) as commercial sponsorship income received during the year of £63,000 has been deferred in full . Total expenditure amounted to £ 75,694 (20 20 : £ 180,698 ). Overall, this has resulted in a deficit for the year of £ 68,006 (20 20 : surplus £ 78,834 ). This is resulted in available unrestricted funds of £ 10,828 at the year end (2020: £78,834) .
A ‘core’ budget was also allocated for the establishment of the foundation (Core – From now on - 2020). The board had intended for each product making a surplus to make contributions to this core fund each year, whilst retaining an agreed amount for its development.
Reflected in these financial statements is a creditor in relation to the deferral of commercial sponsorship for the 2021/22 program that had been received early and would carry over to the following year.
This reporting period included the lockdown and outcomes of the pandemic. Due to this all fund for the march, and other sponsorships have been redirected (with sponsor approval in all cases) in an unrestricted manner towards digital engagement and an early release of the community fund.
There are currently no concerns about the charity’s position as a going concern due to the already secured commercial funding.
The organisation does not have any subsidiaries or trading bodies.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. Although, this level of reserves has not been maintained at the year end due to the deferral of commercial sponsorship income, the trustees are satisfied that the cash reserves before adjustment were maintained throughout the period .

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Key Risks
We operate in a fluid sector in ordinary times, with live events management requiring shrewd financial planning, a solid understanding of new and emerging risks and confidence in our ability to deliver for our beneficiaries. Covid-19 has had a dramatic impact on the sector and, despite our resilience in the face of the cancellation of our programmed in-person events, a varied catalogue of core risks remains. The Board of Trustees is regularly apprised of key risks facing the charity, with a solid Risk Management policy and framework. Key risks during this period (and beyond) include:
-
Financial - the core of our funding comes from corporate sponsorships. Our revenue streams have been resilient throughout the preceding financial year, however the economic fallout from the pandemic may restrict corporate social responsibility budgets in the coming years. We continue to seek opportunities to diversify our income streams as much as possible to mitigate this.
-
Covid-19 - it remains to be seen whether or not physical events and mass gatherings will be permitted under government guidance. In the absence of a physical event, we are confident in our ability to deliver a creative, digital suite of events, however this may have a direct impact on income from sponsors and public donations.
-
Reputational risk due to inability to plan for the forthcoming year - Uncertainty surrounding the viability of events may mean late stage cancellations or short notice of events we are able to run physically. This in turn could create negative press or perception of the charity and carries some light reputational risk. We are already working with key partners, local and national bodies to get information as soon as possible and manage this risk through careful planning and management.
-
Brexit - disruption to the supply chain may have a knock on effect on cost and operational delivery of the core calendar of events. There may also be implications for our supply chain due to changes in procurement regulations as the UK continues to diverge in this arena.
-
Grant availability - has been particularly difficult as the majority of funds have been diverted towards Covid recovery and for organisations set up before our date of incorporation. Whilst we are not reliant on grant funding for our ongoing financial viability, this closes off another potential avenue for funding. We are working hard to ensure costings and projects are ready to be used should applications or funds become more available/eligible.
-
Lack of access to European Grants and funding - With the exit of the UK from the free market, the scope and breadth of grants available to charitable organisations has greatly diminished and available grant funding is going to be in high demand or possibly ring fenced by grant making organisations.
-
Increased distance from our beneficiaries - This has both a financial (e.g. reduced income from commercial activity) and operational impact (engagement with people at a time where they may be struggling most).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
LCR Pride Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Avenue HQ, 17 Mann Island, Liverpool, L3 1BP.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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 financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
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 comparative figures for 2020 relate to the period ended 31 March 2020.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts and as detailed in the Trustees’ report the Trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 on the charity and 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 accounts .
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 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.
1.4 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.
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.

(continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure reflects all amounts paid and accrued during the year. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, support and governance costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Raising funds include the costs associated with fundraising events which have taken place during the year.
Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
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:
Fixtures and fittings
25% Straight Line
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.
1.7 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.
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.

(continued)
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 p aymen ts 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.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12 Taxation
The charity benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions.
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.
