TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. 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

Highlights of 2025

In 2025, with our Community Fund financial support in place for the next four years, we were excited to continue to develop and roll out our project plans. The recruitment of a Project Worker was paramount to the success of the future plans and we were delighted to successfully fill this position in April 2025.

Our existing work in the community, our wonderful weekly luncheon club, our dementia groups, and our support to asylum seekers and refugees continue with new exciting additional ideas to be rolled out over the length of the project. Our new work with pupils at Asmall Primary school began in June, and this has gone from strength to strength.

The idea for this activity was to provide 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. Uniquely, we also felt it important that this club be for parents and children to take the time out to play together. Since June, this has become the most popular after school club at the school. We provide craft activities and games every week during term time.

Throughout 2025, the need for our asylum seeker support reduced considerably and we took the decision to make this monthly as opposed to weekly.

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 support for children with both their educational needs and some extracurricular activities. Through supporting the children it is our goal to reach out to local families and help them with the support they need also.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Outputs and outcomes for the Charity’s beneficiaries

Each year we try to extend our provision to meet the increasing demand for our activities. The need for our services is paramount, and continues to rise, especially for those with dementia and their carers.

We work hard to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the community to the best of our abilities.

Dementia bowls & Carers Support Group

In 2025, this group reached maximum capacity with the need for support for those with dementia, and their carers, more evident than ever. 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!

In 2025 we listened to feedback and planned lots of wonderful trips/days out. We returned to our favourite adventure golf and had a wonderful Italian lunch at Quattros! A wonderful day was had by all.

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! 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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Luncheon Club 20 Years Old

In 2025, we hit a real milestone as we celebrated our 20th Anniversary of the Luncheon Club. We held a wonderful afternoon event to commemorate this achievement. With over 90 people attending including the Deputy Mayor and Mayoress, a fantastic afternoon was enjoyed by all as we gave thanks to those who had made this success possible, and acknowledged our longest standing members with bouquets.

When asked about Luncheon Club, our members said

“Being new to Ormskirk, it has helped me make new friends”

“It helps to combat the loneliness"

“Everybody is so kind, it's an excellent lunch!!”

“I have met new friends, it is something to look forward to every week"

“The club gives me several hours out of the house every Wednesday to meet other people and enjoy an excellent meal. The organisers and volunteers provide a welcoming atmosphere”

Our first Luncheon Club trip

In July, we took 36 members on an organised coach trip to the World of Glass Museum in St Helens.

With a guided tour of the museum and art gallery, a lovely lunch and refreshments provided and a glass blowing demonstration, everyone had a wonderful day.

We have had a number of requests for further trips, so these are being planned.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

As many people live alone, the Luncheon Club provides much needed company to those who would otherwise be lonely and isolated. Our wonderful chef, Janet, with Beryl, and a wonderful team of approximately 20 volunteers, make 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.

Dementia Cafe

This year, we are delighted to have provided people with dementia and their carers the opportunity to not only access support, but also to enjoy a variety of wonderful afternoons of entertainment.

With everything from magicians, a play by our local U3A group about the NHS, to a wonderful afternoon of inter-generational work with pupils from our local community, attending and playing games with our members, to a fabulous saxophonist! We have outdone ourselves this year with the variety of activities.

When asked how people felt they had benefitted from the cafe, members said:

“We have made new friends and had lots of fun”

“It gets us out of the house, meeting people and socialising. It’s good to talk to people who understand”

100% of our members said that they felt that their attendance at the dementia cafe reduced their social isolation and loneliness! A real result!

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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Asylum seekers & refugees weekly drop-in

This provision saw a drop in numbers as the year progressed, so we reached out to other local organisations in an attempt to understand why and what we could do to address the situation. We discovered that the majority of new asylum seekers in the area were being housed in Skelmersdale rather than Ormskirk or nearby Burscough, and visited ASK, a local support service in Skelmersdale. Despite introducing a travel refund programme, numbers remained low as new provision was available very locally for asylum seekers. We made the decision to reduce this service to a monthly drop-in and utilise our resources to meet the needs of our local community in Ormskirk. This led to the development of the new - Activity Afternoons.

NEW Initiative - Activity Afternoons (Monthly)

We piloted this all adult social opportunity with the aim of providing a warm and welcome afternoon where people could make friends, enjoy crafts,

games, music etc. Our very first activity afternoon was very well attended, with the Mayor showing her support and getting involved. This has since become a monthly activity, taking place on the 3rd Friday of each month. It has become a popular event with a mixed group attending.

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 in the form of additional tutoring support. This has been so beneficial to them, and this year we built this relationship further with our new after school provision!

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

NEW- After School ‘Family Club’ Work

We have supported 24 families over the two terms, 12 in each term, with a total of 25 children in attendance. We have made connections and built relationships with parents. Both terms have been fully attended with a waiting list and wonderful feedback from parents and children alike.

When asked how do you think the club benefits your child's well-being, parents answered:

“It’s a calm setting, I like the music and there is lots of choice of activity”

“It’s a nice time to spend focusing on my child”

“Calm and nurturing, we aren’t distracted by daily house/teatime jobs. They all want my attention, staff and other parents all play with my other children which is so helpful to let me have 1:1 time” (Mother of 3, aged 11, 10 & 8)

The feedback has been so positive, and we are delighted with the impact this weekly activity is having. It has exceeded everyone’s expectations and we are looking forward to working with the

families further in the future and providing opportunities for other children in the school.

We said a big thank you 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, 2025 was a real treat with the fantastic MADukes entertaining us all.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Onwards into 2026

We are proud that Community Lives Matter is 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 future years.

Over the course of 2025, 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.

A heartfelt thank you from Jo, the Project Manager…

Another year has flown by, but what a year! We have grown so much and been able to provide so many services and activities for the local community, I couldn’t be happier with our development. As with everything, there is always room for improvement, and with Denise and the support of our wonderful Trustees, I am sure that 2026 will see our provisions growing from strength to strength.

We are committed to maintaining the quality of all of our services and this means slow and steady recruitment of volunteers along with the gradual trialling of new activities. This approach has been our success with our 2 new services this year, and one we will continue to use. Regular feedback from all of those who enjoy and participate in our work means that we ensure that we are best meeting their needs.

Participant led activities, and committed staff and volunteers are at the very heart of Community Lives Matter. Thanks for your support and interest in the work which we do. I am so proud to be the project manager of such a wonderful charity. 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 our aim, as we go forward into 2026, to work towards providing new opportunities for us to enrich and help the lives of many more people in need in our local community.

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.

Reserves policy

The Charity’s policy on reserves is to generate and maintain a balance which is sufficient:

For these purposes the Charity will endeavour to generate and maintain reserves which are at least 9 months of its annual expected expenditure gven how long grant funding applications can take to conclude.

As at 31 December 2025, 9-months of annual expected expenditure income was calculated to be about £56,000 and the amount held in unrestricted reserves was £52,294. The trustees are comfortable that this level is right in line with their current needs but remain mindful to keep the balance held in reserves under regular 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 2025 income of £91,334 was received (2024 - £61,146). Costs during the year totalled £73,362 (2024 - £53,223) which generated net income throughout the year of £17,972 (2024 - £7,923).

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.

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:

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 28 April 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

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.
