TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in the United Kingdom on 31 August 1989 and registered as a charity on 2 October 1989. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objectives and powers of the charitable company (“the Charity”) and is governed under its Articles of Association.

The Directors of the charity, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, are also charity Trustees, for the purposes of charity law. They are generally referred to as the Board of Trustees.

Anyone over the age of 18, who complies with the requirements laid down by the Board of Trustees, can become a member of the Charity, each of whom agrees to contribute £1 in the event of the charity winding up.

Appointment of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is elected by the members of Lamp by postal ballot before each Annual General Meeting and hold office from the end of the meeting at which they were elected or appointed. Members are, out of courtesy, asked to give their approval at the Annual General Meeting of those elected. The Board of Trustees elects its Officers (Chair

and Treasurer) at the meeting which follows the Annual General Meeting.

The number of Trustees must be not less than 4 nor more than 16 of which the Board may co-opt up to four members with relevant skills and experience.

Trustee induction and training

Proposed Trustees are first required to meet with the Chair of the Board of Trustees in a recruitment process. After appointment, they are supported by the Chair to enable them to understand Lamp's history, their obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. Trustees are actively encouraged to take a portfolio position on the Board and to meet with key employees. Trustees are also regularly encouraged to attend external training events appropriate to their role.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Objectives & Activities

Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project (Lamp) was established to promote the preservation and safeguarding of mental health, through assisting in relieving and rehabilitating persons who are suffering from, or affected by, mental or emotional distress.

The charity is an independent voluntary organisation working to promote good mental health for everyone living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Lamp believes that those who seek or use mental health services and their families and friends, should have a voice in how those services are provided and planned. In 2020/2021 Lamp worked throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland offering: -

Lamp's offices are located centrally in Leicester city and are sufficient for purpose. Lamp makes all reasonable effort to make its services accessible to people with physical and/or sensory disabilities through home visits, as well as outreach services and within hospital and other institutional settings.

Lamp has continued to meet the Advice Quality Standard (AQS) and the Advocacy Quality Performance Mark (QPM).

Organisation

The Board of Trustees administers the charity. There are trustee portfolios to cover specific areas of the Charity’s work. The full Board met 6 times during the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 and held 2 development sessions. A Chief Executive Officer is appointed by the Trustees to manage day-to-day operations and facilitate strategic direction of the charity. The Chief Executive Officer has authority within terms of delegations approved by the Trustees, for operational matters including areas such as finance, employment, service development, mental health information and advocacy related activity.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Risk Management

The Board has worked closely with the Chief Executive Officer and staff to facilitate on-going risk analysis and to implement strategic responses to minimise risks to the organisation. The Board is fully satisfied that management systems are in place to mitigate as far as possible actual and potential risks to which the charity is exposed and has worked with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure proper financial, operational, legal and public interests are managed effectively. Lamp has successfully anticipated and responded to some key challenges in 2020/2021 as set out in the following paragraphs.

As identified in previous annual reports the voluntary and community sector, as a whole, has continued to face significant challenges at local, regional and national levels. Lamp has focused on delivering multi-faceted and proactive solutions to manage resources and diversify within our area of expertise. The pressures of preference for national based services which focus on lower priced services by commissioners became ever more frequent and resulted in Lamp not being supported to deliver local based outreach services. Lamp took the strategic decision to continue with non- statutory, community based, services to meet the diverse needs of those experiencing poor mental health in local communities. Lamp has continued to develop and evolve these services over the past 12 months. Lamp also transformed its model to include business sector partnerships in order to identify best practice and early intervention in the workplace. This allowed the Charity to ensure services delivered were of the highest quality and that safety was not compromised. At the same time, whilst maintaining quality and legal adherence, significant cost cutting measures ensured reduced overheads.

To ensure that Lamp continues to be successful in attracting financial support from grant awarding bodies and other sources in these difficult times, an organisational review was conducted and subsequently a staff reorganisation commenced in April 2020. Initially, it was anticipated this would be completed in the financial year 2020/2021, but the pandemic has had an effect on this, so the plans now extend to 2022. The restructure will ensure new sources of funding are identified, some current activities continue and that there is diversification to meet identified service provision gaps for those who engage with Lamp. It also aims to inform policy and practice so that barriers to those trying to access services are reduced and eliminated.

Risk management is embedded in quality assurance, and this continues to underpin Lamp’s strategies and service delivery. Lamp retained its Advice and Quality Standard (AQS) accreditation in February 2020 and holds a valid Quality Performance Mark (QPM), a quality assurance standard specific to advocacy services, preferred by commissioning authorities. QPM compliance will continue to inform improvement in the way Lamp operates and increase prospects of successful funding from current and potential funders.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Other elements of Lamp’s Risk Management Strategy have also been regularly reviewed throughout the year, enabling the Board and Chief Executive Officer to continue to ensure that Lamp is in a position to be proactive to any changes and opportunities within the local commissioning market place by: -

The Trustees, Chief Executive Officer and senior staff continue to participate in external processes and forums related to the ever changing landscape of health reform, including Clinical Commissioning Groups, Stakeholder Groups, Leicestershire Partnership Trust Meetings, Mental Health Partnership Boards, etc., impacting on all aspects of Lamp's work, the client group we serve and the voluntary, statutory and community sectors.

Going Concern

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future (12 months after signing this report) and have therefore used the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Public Benefit

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how such planned activities contribute to the aims and objectives of Lamp.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and Performance

The Trustees report another successful year for Lamp in delivering effective support and services for people affected by mental distress.

Advocacy and Support Services

COVID-19

In order to adhere with government advice, Lamp’s service model was severely affected by the lockdown, resulting in the charity operating in an ever-changing situation from the start of Q1. Lamp implemented a new model of working, which ensured staff worked remotely and we were able to respond to meet the needs of beneficiaries without any loss of service availability. We are proud of how quickly we were able to adapt our service and believe the agile and dynamic response was exemplary.

Community mental health advocacy – Leicester City; April 2020 - March 2021.

(Funded by the Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Discretionary Grant Programme)

During this time, we implemented and refined a remote worker based service delivery model in April 2020, which enabled Lamp to reach its annual case load for Informal Advocacy of 240 cases by the end of October 2020. Additionally, signposting calls rose significantly to just under 3,000. Lamp engaged via email on 3,600 occasions, supported a 4000% increase in online engagement and extended our service to include mental health wellbeing tips to promote wellbeing and empower people to take positive action. Significant increases in every area of our work demonstrate a clear and significant need for our expert service which continued to maintain the highest AQS and QPM industry standard recognition. There is funding in place from the Leicester City (CCG) as of 28[th] March 2021 and our target is to reach out to 240 individuals and deliver advocacy to those people during the course of the next year. We aim to respond to the increasing levels of need for mental health advocacy by engaging with those who have and do not have access to digital services, young people, and to encourage early intervention through identification of best practice in partnership with and for local businesses and voluntary sector organisations. We are also in the early stages of a work stream with Leicester City Football Club and the voluntary sector to address the area of young men who experience challenges with their mental health as a result of perceptions of changing identity due to the pandemic. Notably, once again, Lamp has maintained the position of not receiving a single complaint for the whole period and our annual target for advocacy cases was reached in October 2020.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Carer’s Advocacy – Mental Health

(Partially funded by the Shires Community Grant)

The Shires Community Fund allocated us £6,700 in April 2020 to deliver mental health advocacy to Carers across Leicestershire. The groups were originally based in Hinckley, Oakham, Enderby, Coalville and Leicester City, but had to move to an online platform due to COVID-19 restrictions. We reached out to 66 individuals during the financial year. (38 Groups facilitated via Zoom; 49 individuals attended the Groups on an ongoing basis; 17 individual advocacy cases).

The groups were well received across the region, and we believe the particular successes are: clients have been given an array of information and tools to be able to support their dependents and understand their dependents’ needs; they have also been able to share their experiences with others who are going through similar circumstances, learning from each other, which has given them invaluable support at a time – particularly during the pandemic period – when many services locally have been incredibly difficult to access.

The 1:1 advocacy sessions have given clients a more person-centred approach, and more intense advocacy support. This has reduced the need for clients trying to seek help from both the NHS and other organisations. We have found locally that many organisations are unable to offer the support that carers need due to strict criteria and restrictions placed in the way of accessing services and, in turn, those clients were left unable to get any help from anywhere. This project has provided this much needed support, which in turn has prevented a deterioration in the mental health of both carers and those they care for.

Our Carers’ Advocate left the Charity in February 2021, and a new advocate has been recruited since the year end. The carers were made aware of her departure from Lamp and interim support was offered via our Advocacy staff members.

Peer Advocacy

As of April 2020, face to face Peer Advocacy has been suspended until other arrangements can be made, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have provided training to our peers during the course of the year. We are researching options to deliver advocacy virtually, through tablets/iPads. We purchased four tablets on 24[th] March 2021, and have made links with the Improvement and Development Manager to get this initiative rolled out as soon as possible, to continue to provide a quality service to the informal patients on the wards at Bradgate Unit.

Sturdee Hospital – IMHA

Despite no access to wards due to the pandemic, we have continued to deliver advocacy for Sturdee hospital. We are now providing a weekly telephone drop-in advocacy service for statutory patients. In addition to the weekly telephone sessions, we also received five individual referrals for patients on the wards, and delivered advocacy via the phone to those clients.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The National Lottery Community Fund (TNL)

In May 2020, £49,000 was granted to us to provide Mental Health Advocacy and supporting communities during the COVID-19 pandemic (for anticipated increase in support needed within the community). The grant covered the project for six months, including staffing costs.

In February 2021, £327,000 was awarded to us through The National Lottery, to cover Mental Health & Physical Health Advocacy, Peer Advocacy, and Carer’s Advocacy. This grant covers these services from 1[st] February 2021 until 1st February 2024. This involves supporting 90 carers, 60 physical health clients and delivering 6000 mental health signposting, support or advocacy cases per annum. We are also looking into setting up a community peer advocacy model, and expect to deliver an equality and diversity campaign within the first 6 months of the contract.

Client Management Recording System:

Our client database and reporting system was changed from AIMS to Knack in September 2020.

Volunteering at Lamp April 2020 – March 2021

This year volunteering at Lamp underwent some significant changes, both for Peer and general volunteers.

General Volunteers:

  1. We continued to liaise with those wishing to support the charity by volunteering but in essence due to the pandemic and lockdowns we were unable to support any office or community based volunteering roles.

  2. The charity has maintained its commitment to these individuals by offering training opportunities. The intention is to restart these roles in the coming year.

Trustees

It is also notable that the above does not include the time expended by our Trustees which would have increased this figure substantively.

Marketing & Communications

From the beginning of April 2020 and throughout the period until the end of March 2021, Lamp experienced its biggest periods of development in terms of communications.

Prior to the pandemic period, Lamp was already recognising the importance of communicating more effectively with the diverse audiences it serves and as the pandemic hit, this became a priority for the charity. It was essential that Lamp developed its digital advocacy platform and had the capacity to deliver support and a consistent wellbeing message to those that were seeking our help. Calls to our helplines were growing exponentially and it was clear we were going to need to reach our beneficiaries in as many ways as possible.

The Marketing & Communications team were increased in number in order to bolster its hours; the website required development, and a content boost in order to effectively support those visiting with expert up to date information. Our social media channels were supporting beneficiaries in new ways and it was critical for Lamp to develop this digital area.

LEICESTERSHIRE ACTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Between June and the end of November 2020, The National Lottery (TNL) community funding enabled Lamp to develop impact in the following ways:

Recruitment

As a result of the COVID-19 response TNL funding Lamp recruited two part-time Marketing and Communications Officers, increasing the charity’s communications capacity by 35 hours.

Website improvements

We became aware that our online users sometimes found the navigation of Lamp’s website unhelpful. In the face of a new digital service, the redesign of this became a priority. Significant improvements were implemented to the user journey of the site, with the majority of the work taking place during the TNL funding period. Lamp’s Communications specialist was able to recognise why this was the case and worked with our web developer to redesign the user journey. The homepage was updated with clear sections for each of the audiences that visited Lamp for support and information. Extensive work was also done to ensure that some historical website content was updated, removed and / or updated and in line with the COVID-19 developments.

The improvements resulted in a real impact to visitor traffic and importantly the way traffic engaged once reaching the site.

Website Traffic

By the beginning of August, Lamp’s website traffic was already up by 20% as a result of the pandemic and more people seeking out information regarding mental health. Because of this increased traffic, Lamp was dedicated to ensuring the information on the website was regularly updated, was always accurate and of a high quality and that the site was linking well to other services.

This led to the development of the website’s Wellbeing Hub, which although still requiring improvement, and which Lamp is keen to develop further, has served those who visit the site incredibly well through the year. We know that the development of further materials online has given many of those we work with a trusted source of information to refer to and share with others, and our analytics showed that by the end of October traffic to the site further increased 25% to what it had been previous to the pandemic period but that, notably, those visiting spent on average 7 minutes longer on the website, and that the Wellbeing Hub was a hotspot for visitors. Almost 50% of Lamp’s website traffic visited the Wellbeing Hub in November, and the duration of visits have increased since its introduction. This evidence is key, as the Wellbeing Hub is a central part of Lamp’s increased digital service. We are more than satisfied that we have been able to deliver extra support online with the development of this area of the site.

Further to this, the development of the Wellbeing Hub has been noticed by key business supporters, who have given feedback that their leaders have shared our content with thousands of staff and customers, further boosting Lamp’s reach as a result of the work we have done.

Signposting

Further work online has been done related to the accurate signposting regarding advocacy services. The constantly changing landscape in terms of services available outside of those offered by Lamp meant it necessary for Lamp to ensure signposting information was as up to date as possible, and therefore the funding of hours for dedicated

LEICESTERSHIRE ACTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT

10

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

communications staff to do this work supported the way in which we were able to effectively reach and help those who need us.

Development of up to date Flyers and Marketing Materials

As a result of the TNL funding, the Marketing team was able to create an impactful set of flyers and posters to advertise Lamp’s services. Key to this was ensuring our Carers’ Groups were well promoted and the new Physical Advocacy service we were able to offer as a result of TNL funding.

The materials created were highly effective and still in use today. Our partner organisations shared these very effectively and though our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system was not in place quick enough to gather exact analytics about how effective they were, we know anecdotally that the use of these professionally written and designed materials saw numbers of those finding out about our services grow.

Social media

The ongoing development of Lamp’s social media channels was a significant focus for the charity’s Communications team. At the height of the first lockdown period, Lamp saw engagement up by 4000% in some areas, as followers and beneficiaries took real support from the Online Wellbeing Tips we launched at the end of March. These were a daily wellbeing tip which helped boost communication, activity and wellbeing for those in our communities. The creation and management of this campaign was demanding for a small charity like Lamp, but the response was so positive we were determined to make this a large part of our digital wellbeing platform. The staff hours dedicated to social media saw our channels continue to grow, but importantly saw meaningful engagement increase and led to more beneficiaries finding Lamp’s services. Examples include:

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Further Social media work

At the beginning of 2021, we employed consultancy services to manage the messaging on social media, with the exception of LinkedIn, as two members of the team left the charity in the 3[rd] Quarter and it proved challenging to recruit replacements. At the same time, further strategic work was carried out to more specifically segment the social media channel audiences and begin to further target the appropriate audiences for each channel. This was to ensure that we continue to build upon our communication successes and that we strategically ensure we are reaching a diverse range of the community across the region. The work conducted by our team has given us a meaningful foundation on which to build our diversity communications work over the next year.

Media Coverage

Lamp’s ability to launch a sustained digital output has led to us gaining a raft of media support and increased ways of reaching our community.

During the year, our communications efforts have led to two TV news features on the BBC and ITV Central.

Additionally, we have been called upon for radio interviews regarding the success of our digital wellbeing efforts at least eight times over the period, and most notably Lamp secured an ongoing radio slot on BBC Radio Leicester’s Saturday morning breakfast show. From mid-November, Lamp’s CEO joined presenter Rupal Rajani each Saturday for a mental health/wellbeing chat to help support communities across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Importantly, our ability to commit to this was possible due to having a Communications staff member who could liaise with the radio team, discuss content, ensure expert content was then created and those appearing on the show were fully briefed and had appropriate material.

To conclude: as Lamp completed the final quarter of the year, in March 2021 this department was delivered with the established consultancy support and the remaining staff member within Lamp. The foundations developed earlier in the year were used to great effect to launch an interactive global 5k Challenge, to be conducted during Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2021 and to build connections with Lamp’s now well established Business Club.

Partnerships:

A list of partnerships that Lamp has maintained or cultivated in 2020/21 are as follows:

In addition to the above, Lamp continued to build relationships with over 50 local businesses to help develop their understanding of mental health, and has encouraged and supported them to share best practice in supporting their staff and communities. Our Business Club held regular online sessions showcasing support available, and surpassed

its targeted objectives as a result. The annual Acts of Kindness Awards were held online this year, in November 2020. During the event, we were able to showcase local talent of those connected with the area to entertain attendees with the theme of support during the pandemic. Our grateful thanks go out to everyone who contributed their time and talent to making the event successful. Once again, the awards recognised those who had contributed to this area in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The Reserves Policy was adopted by Lamp's Board of Trustees on 9 February 1999 and was most recently updated on 30 January 2020. It is as follows:

Statement of Principle

All resources available to Lamp will be used in accordance with the charitable objects of Lamp.

Statement of Policy

Lamp will use reserves for the purpose of ensuring its continuing ability to fulfil its obligations, including those:

Lamp's aim is to hold an amount sufficient to provide for 4 months of operating costs arising out of the above obligations. The reserves will be held in unrestricted funds, to be readily available to the Board of Trustees to expend where and if the need arises. If this is not achieved Lamp will rectify as soon as possible.

Statement of Practice

Lamp's reserves will be reviewed annually in line with this policy, in conjunction with the Auditors, and approved by the Board of Trustees.

Policy Review

This Policy will be reviewed by Lamp's Board of Trustees as part of its rolling review of policies.

Financial Review

The surplus for the year amounted to £40,945. When added to the fund balances at the beginning of the year, the fund balances at 31 March 2021 were £121,691 of which £55,026 related to restricted funds and £16,299 to designated funds.

The Trustees consider the balance of £50,366 in unrestricted funds to be adequate to cover any short-term matters such as redundancy costs that may occur.

During the year, the principle funding sources of the charity were donations from individuals and businesses, and grants received from public sector bodies. There has been a continued shift away from local authority funding which operationally resulted in Lamp relying heavily on other grants and donations. Furtherance of the charity's objectives has been achieved during the year through advocacy and information provided by the employees of the charity.

The fixed assets increased by £10,031 during the year, as shown in note 8 on pages 31 and 32 of the financial statements. A copy of these financial statements will be sent to the Charity Commission after the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Leicestershire Action for Mental Health Project for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 23 to 35. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on

the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 18, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees

determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘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)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘ The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

b ) Company Status

The company is limited by guarantee incorporated in the United Kingdom. The members of the company are the trustees/directors named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

c) Financial reporting standard 102 – reduced disclosure exemptions

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements as permitted by FRS 102:

d) Income and endowments

Incoming resources are the total amounts receivable by the company from donations, grants and trading in furtherance of charitable activities.

e) Expenditure

Direct charitable expenditure comprises services supplied identifiable as wholly or mainly in support of the company’s objectives.

Those costs shown as support costs relate to the management of the company’s assets, organisation and administration. They are allocated across funding streams according to the number of staff hours worked on each project.

f) Volunteer help

The company receives significant amounts of assistance from volunteers, whose assistance is greatly appreciated, and which cannot be valued in commercial terms.

g) Income under service agreement and grants receivable

Income under service agreement and grants receivable are recognised (on an accruals basis) in the income and expenditure account so as to match them against the funding year to which they relate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

h) Capitalisation and depreciation of tangible fixed assets

All assets are for use by the charity.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is charged so as to write off their full cost, less estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives at the following rates:

Office equipment 20% of cost per annum Computer equipment 33.33% of cost per annum

i) Leased assets

All leases are operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the income and expenditure account.

j) Pensions

The company is a member of the Pensions Trust Growth Plan, a multi-employer defined benefit scheme which is in deficit. As a member, it is not possible to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities, therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.

A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed a deficit of £31.6m (2017: £131.5m). To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme payable monthly. Plan expenses are also payable monthly and will increase by 3% in April of each year. Should the company withdraw from the scheme whilst it is still in deficit, it would be required by law to pay its share of the deficit, but this liability will not crystallise as long as LAMP continues to employ at least one active member.

Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable and plan expenses under the agreement. The present value of this obligation is £33,659.

The deficit obligation will be funded from the unrestricted funds.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

k) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts 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 if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying the charity’s accounting policies:

The following are critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (which are dealt with separately below), that the trustees have made in the process of applying the charity’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Going concern

The charity’s ability to continue as a going concern is assessed based on the expected future ability to receive income and donations from charitable activities over a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Judgement is required in reviewing forecast income levels and cash flows.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty:

There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty as at March 2021.

l) Funds accounting

Funds held by the charity are:

Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated general funds – these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.

Restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
