## **Community Lives Matter**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. The financial statements follow the requirements of the revised Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) (second edition - October 2019) – 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).
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which was registered on 7 May 2020. It is governed by its Constitution based on the Charity Commission's model governing document for foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisations.
## **Recruitment and appointment of the trustees**
The board seeks to achieve a balance of skills and experience amongst the trustees. In order to maintain this, the board reviews its skill and experience mix each year and seeks to recruit new trustees when necessary.
There must be at least 3 charity trustees serving at any one time and the maximum number of trustees is 12.
In accordance with the Constitution, apart from the first charity trustees, trustees are appointed or reappointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
In appointing trustees due consideration is given to ensuring that the trustees have, between them, the skills and experience necessary to manage the charity effectively and in accordance with charity law. In order to retain our relevance to the needs of the community, we also look to recruit trustees with active experience and first-hand involvement in the sector.
## **Trustee induction and training**
The current board of trustees will provide any new trustee with an overview of the timetable of board meetings, copies of the recent minutes of meetings, the recent reports and accounts and explain their general and specific responsibilities.
Ongoing training is provided by the board of trustees as and when the need arises.
## **Risk management**
The trustees are aware of the major risks to which the charity is exposed to and have plans in place to mitigate these as far as possible. A full risk review is monitored by the trustees to ensure that all known risks are mitigated as effectively as possible.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objects of the charity**
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
The purpose of the charity is to further or benefit the residents of Ormskirk and the neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Our performance in 2024…**
In 2024, we wanted to not only continue providing support to our target groups, but to seek ways to extend this further into the community. With this in mind a great deal of work took place to build a funding bid for the Community Fund. It was our aim to secure funding for existing core costs, and also to seek support to extend our staffing with a Project Worker to assist in the running of new and exciting projects.
We were delighted to receive the news of our success, with funding secured for the next four years. As part of this proposal, we are committed to provide our wonderful weekly luncheon club, our dementia groups, and our support to asylum seekers and refugees, but also to begin new work with pupils at Asmall primary school with the hope of further growth. The initial plans for this involve a weekly after school session for those unable to pay for additional recreational activities, in an attempt to bridge the gap between those who can and cannot afford such clubs. It is our goal to use this opportunity to speak with parents and seek out new areas of support. Watch this space for new plans…
## **Our commitment**
We are committed to improving the lives of local people in the community including the elderly, disabled people, those experiencing loneliness and isolation, those with long-term health conditions and those with dementia. We also want to provide much needed support for asylum seekers and refugees, and support children with both their educational needs and some extracurricular activities.
## **Outputs and outcomes for the Charity’s beneficiaries**
Demand for our activities continues to rise, especially for those with dementia and their carers. We have developed our services to meet this demand, recruiting new volunteers to enable us to grow and provide the necessary care and support at each of our services.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)**
## **Dementia bowls & Carers Support Group**
In 2024, we had record numbers of people attending this weekly group for those living with dementia and their carers. Following feedback, we sought to provide more days out and trips in addition to the weekly bowls, which included a fabulous Sixties show at the Atkinson theatre, the Museum of Liverpool & Brasco Lounge, the World of Glass Museum, and breakfast at Toby to name but a few!
Everyone loves the sense of family, community, friendship and support at this group, and the days out/events allow carers and partners to have fun and relax in the knowledge that staff and volunteers are there to assist with their loved ones, it makes all the difference!
One member said:
## _**“It is wonderful to have a chance to chat to those who are going through the same things as you.”**_
For some, they have lost the confidence to continue to take their loved ones out and about, so these trips are a lifeline to a former life which they reminisce about, and as such, are priceless!
Our adventure golf and lunch at Cherry Orchard was a particular highlight of the year, with lots of fun and games, and even a couple of holes in one! A wonderful day was had by all.
One of our carers commented:
_**“It has been a great help for myself…I can chat to other family members in the group and realise that I am not alone, we can laugh about many problems, I always come out smiling”**_
We have new members joining us each week, as word spreads of this fabulous group, and provides much needed comfort and support to those in this unique and complex position.

## **Luncheon Club**
Our well loved Luncheon Club has continued to thrive throughout 2024, with new members joining each week. The average age of our members is their 80’s. As many people live alone, the luncheon club provides much needed company to those who would otherwise be lonely and isolated.
One member said:
## _**“I enjoy the company and getting out of the house, especially in the winter”**_
People often refer to Wednesday as their favourite day because of Luncheon Club, one member commented:
## _**“The Luncheon Club gives me something to look forward to…it keeps me sane”**_
We have a wonderful chef, Janet, who with Beryl and a wonderful team of approximately 20 volunteers, is fully committed to making the Luncheon Club a place where all our members feel welcome and where they can enjoy a 3 course meal, enjoy each other's company and develop friendships.
As well as wonderful food, Wednesdays can be a place for learning and fun. In 2024, we hosted the local dementia hub at Luncheon Club to provide information from Home Instead, will writing support, and had representatives from the fire service, the dementia and delirium team, and many more. Throughout the summer, we also hosted a wonderful afternoon tea event.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)**
## **Dementia Cafe**
This ever popular monthly group provides a safe and friendly environment for people with dementia and their carers who live in the local community. It offers an opportunity to meet and share experiences with other people going through similar daily issues and concerns.
People can relax, make new friends, gain useful information about the practical issues and concerns that they may have, whilst also having the chance to let their hair down and participate in fun activities.
Every year, we challenge ourselves to provide an ever exciting programme of activities, to keep things interesting, ranging from quizzes and themed bingo, to speakers, musicians, magicians to famous faces like Jon Culshaw and Everton legends, Ian Snowdon and Darren Griffiths!
## **Asylum seekers & refugees weekly drop-in**
The drop-in provides a safe communal space for isolated individuals who find themselves with no opportunities for activities or contact with others, but has also become a source of information, resources, support and a place to engage and access fun activities both inside and outside of Community Lives Matter. With an excellent volunteer group as support, and with some generous funding provision, those who drop-in have been able to engage in trips to various activities and places. We were also able to provide clothing, resources for learning and financial transport help. Practical support includes:
- Getting registered with a GP and dentist
- Provision of clothing, toiletries or other basic needs
- Help filling in any number of official forms
- Advice and signposting to local services, e.g., foodbank
- Help with English and college applications
- Help with CV preparation and looking for employment for those with permission to work
- Trips out with volunteers, e.g., art gallery and local walks

## **Befriending - support and friendship for those on their own or feeling lonely**
Whilst Luncheon Club does provide welcome social contact, for some attendees this is the only time they get out all week, and perhaps the only time they get to sit and chat to others. In recognition of the loneliness expressed by so many, throughout 2024, we have worked hard to get our service up and running, starting out through phone calls and some visits, where appropriate. We are still recruiting volunteers through WLCVS to enable us to grow this much needed support, with the aim of alleviating the effects of loneliness for as many of our local residents as possible.
All of our volunteers are DBS checked and matched to someone that we hope they can relate to well. This service is still in the early stages, as recruitment for suitable volunteers takes time, but we are hopeful to support a number of people in the future.
## **Educational support for local school children**
We are delighted to have been able to continue to financially support a local school with their extra educational plans for children. This has been so beneficial to them, and we are working towards building this relationship and hosting mutually beneficial plans and events.
Watch this space for new and exciting developments which are in the planning stages…
## **Thanks to our wonderful volunteers!**
All of our activities rely 100% on the generosity of time and spirit from our wonderful volunteers. In each area of provision, there is a real sense of camaraderie and mutual respect and support. Many of our volunteers have their own needs, and we seek to be as inclusive as possible, to encourage anyone who wishes to be
involved, and we seek appropriate roles for them. We hold an annual thank you event for our volunteers, 2024 was a real treat with a wonderful singer and the Mayor & Mayoress attending.
## **Fundraiser - Aughton Male Voice Choir**
Yet another first in 2024! We organised a fantastic fundraising evening with the wonderful Aughton Male Voice Choir in June. With a wonderful evening of entertainment, a fantastic turnout and over £500 raised, this will definitely be something that we repeat!
## **Onwards into 2025**
Community Lives Matter is now a recognised provider of essential services in the community. With our new funding from the Community Fund, we are confident that we can continue to develop considerably over the next four years.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)**
## **Onwards into 2025 (continued)**
Over the course of 2024, we tried new things, planned new events, met with new people, worked with other organisations for the good of the local community…these links and trials are all part of our development, and it is exciting to see what else we can achieve. It is our aim to make a positive difference to the lives of people, and we are fully committed to serve the community to the best of our abilities.
With the additional funding for a new member of staff, we are positive that we can extend our provision to meet ever changing needs, and provide events and services to support this.
## **A very proud note from Jo, the Project Manager…**
I can’t believe that I am writing another annual message, the year has flown so quickly with all of our wonderful activities. 2024 saw too many events to illustrate, but I hope to have provided at least a flavour of the fun times that our organisers and volunteers have worked so hard to provide.
It is honestly my honour to be the project manager of such a wonderful progressive charity. I couldn’t be prouder of our growing achievements, and would like to acknowledge that without the dedication of each and every volunteer, our services would be unable to run. Both the services we provide to the community, and the wonderful people who enable us to do so, are an asset to Ormskirk and the surrounding areas, and it is my pleasure to support the volunteers and group activity leaders to continue to do what they do, so well.
It is my goal as we go forward into 2025, to work towards providing new opportunities for us to enrich and help the lives of many more people in need in our local community.
Jo Anne McGonigal Project Manager & Developer
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Principal funding sources**
The major source of income for the charity has come from grants awarded. All other income has been from individual donations received from beneficiaries or others connected with the charity, mainly from standing orders with some cash giving. We will be processing these gifts to receive Gift Aid where donors are eligible.

## **Community Lives Matter**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)**
## **Reserves policy**
The Charity’s policy on reserves is to generate and maintain a balance which is sufficient:
- to preserve the financial viability of the Charity in the event that unforeseen and/or
- = unavoidable circumstance precipitate a short-term fall in its income; and to enable the Charity, in the interests of meeting its objectives, to undertake from time to time the setting up of new and innovative projects on a pilot basis to demonstrate the
- = viability and potential benefits of such activities as a precursor to securing the external funding necessary to maintain such projects on an on-going basis.
For these purposes the Charity will endeavour to generate and maintain reserves which are at least 25% of its annual turnover.
As at 31 December 2024, 25% of income was calculated to be £15,287, whilst the amount held in unrestricted reserves was £39,824. The trustees appreciate that this level is in excess of what is immediately needed but is deemed appropriate for this year since we took on further paid staff during 2022 and have an increased budget for 2025. Some finance has also been carried over from activities that were unable to be put in place due to pandemic restrictions and this is planned to be invested in these activities in years to come. The trustees keep the balance held in reserves under review.
## **Remuneration of Trustees**
All trustees act in a voluntary capacity and receive no remuneration or other material benefits from their services to the Charity.
Out-of-pocket expenses necessarily and reasonably incurred by trustees in promoting the purposes of the Charity are reimbursed at cost.
## **Financial review of the year**
In the year to 31 December 2024 income of £61,146 was received (2023 - £64,596). Costs during the year totalled £53,223 (2023 - £48,511) which generated a surplus throughout the year of £7,923 (2023 - £16,085).
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
## **General plans**
The charity will continue its operations throughout the year, with a view to further its objectives. We will work with our service users to better understand their needs and how we can increase our impact and target more beneficiaries. With this in mind, we expect to increase our activities in providing support and friendship for those feeling on their own or lonely. We also anticipate adding further services for vulnerable older people and will look additionally to engage with the needs of younger people in the community as we understand better how these are expressed.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
- a. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- b. observe the methods and principals in the Charities SORP;
- c. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- d. state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- e. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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 was approved by the board of trustees on 15 July 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COMMUNITY LIVES MATTER**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
We report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 12 to 17.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- (ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- (iii) to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the 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 seeking explanations from the 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- a) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
b) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Community Lives Matter**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **a Basis of preparation**
The financial statements follow the requirements of the revised Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) (second edition - October 2019) – 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 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 are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest whole £.
## **b Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements where relevant.
## **c Income**
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
## **d Expenditure**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.
Fund raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management costs. Management and administration costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## **e Fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including and incidental expenses of acquisition.
