The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities.

SHROPSHIRE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT LIMITED (PREVIOUSLY SHROPSHIRE MIND)

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

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

Achievements and performance Charitable activities

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd continued delivery of many key projects throughout the year, whilst also seeking new partnership/alliances with local charities with the same key values. During 2020/21 reporting period, the charity received over 15,000 enquiries and averted over 700 potential suicides. Many programmes have been changed or amended to reflect the risks associated with COVID-19.

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd was the only mental health charity to maintain full face to face service with the appropriate safeguards in place, throughout the 1 st and 2 nd lockdown periods of COVID-19. It is a testament to the Staff and Volunteers, their commitment and dedication to support those with poor mental health has shone through, highlighting what an amazing team we are blessed to work with.

The charity has been nominated for The Queens Award, for the charity's dedicated work and innovation throughout the year, supporting the most vulnerable when all other services were not available.

Shropshire Sanctuary continues to deliver critical interventions out of hours, whilst evolving to support new demands as and when they arise. To date the Sanctuary service has saved the public purse over £24,000,000, as well as preventing so many people from taking their lives, with the Sanctuary staff also doubling up as call handlers on the phone line in the evening.

The charity established the 24/7 telephone line in the early parts of the pandemic. It has been running ever since, supporting over 600 people continuously, becoming the cornerstone of service delivery.

The Integrated Care Systems (ICS) for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin (STW) invested in DNA TRiM. DNA TRiM is a trauma resilience programme, designed to support peer networking and de-escalation following any Potentially Traumatic Experiences (PTE). With Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd having a 24-hour presence through the call line and Shropshire Sanctuary, the charity was chosen to become the TRiM Hub for the whole of STW. The delivery of TRiM has been rolled out to Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals (SaTH) Robert Jones Agnes Hunt (RJAH) with great effect, maintaining professional staff within the workplace, whilst support and guidance is given. As part of the TRiM Hub role, Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd also received funding for a full time Psychologist, who compliments the team and gives extremely quick access to a clinical skillset when needed.

Funding will have to be secured for the continuation of Shropshire Sanctuary beyond April 2022 as it reaches its 5 th anniversary.

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd has continued to host trainee RMN’s, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists on work placements and Social Workers. The unique environment we have allows professionals to gain critical experience in supporting people with mental health issues. The soft approach within the charity is a stark contrast to that of statutory sector providers, the contrast between the two approaches allows the trainees to see the effects of both systems at work rather than just on a theoretical basis. Shropshire Mental Health Support actively recruits new volunteers, training and supporting them in the provision of the services to those with mental health needs. Many of our volunteers are inspired by the work and go on to seek employment within the professional side of our sector, with key hands on skills provided within the charity. Growth of roots up professionals can only serve to enhance our profile as a quality provider of mental health services within the 3rd sector.

SHROPSHIRE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT LIMITED (PREVIOUSLY SHROPSHIRE MIND)

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Premises – The current lease expires on 24 th December 2021, the property needs some repairs and so the charity has approached Shropshire Council with a view to purchasing one of its surplus properties that would fulfil the needs of the charity going forward. Larger and more extensive premises are now urgently needed to cope with the expansion of services.

Reach - The drop-in centre has remained closed throughout the pandemic; however specific groups have been delivered as follows:

It remains challenging, balancing the risk of infection and the support needed by those with mental health support needs, this will be monitored throughout the coming year. The charity partnered with Shropshire Council and Public Health England to deliver key information across the county to those who are homeless or displaced as a result of the pandemic, this brought much needed contact to those located in remote or hard to reach areas.

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd is the only 3 rd sector provider to open 7 days a week within the County, providing that essential support when the statutory sector is not available. It is vital that the reach of the charity extends far beyond its head office in Shrewsbury, with service delivery now taking place in Whitchurch, Market Drayton, Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Oswestry.

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd has been working in conjunction with Shrewsbury College, aiming to support students and staff alike, this is a key partnership for the future, allowing the charity to provide solutions to anxiety and depression, caused by stress and the pressures of society.

Shropshire Sanctuary, the call line and the TRiM Hub have raised the profile of the charity, allowing further partnerships to be forged across the sector, but it is key to focus on the fact that we are an impartial and trusted service provider, being trusted by all who use our services.

Resources - The shop at Redwoods continues to support the charity in its objectives, providing funding from the revenue within the shop, whilst supporting beneficiaries to gain invaluable experience. Key investments have been made in the shop, as well as an expansion of the healthy range and a valuable stock of personal items for staff and patients to purchase.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Financial review

Reserves policy

The reserves within the charity have grown steadily throughout the year. Key areas for this success are attributable to the stringent fiscal policy within the charity and increased revenues from the Shop in Redwoods and fundraisers who support us. The shop manager has worked tirelessly to improve the margins and the breadth of service delivery. The shop is now a key financial asset to the charity.

The aim of the charity is to increase the amount held in reserve, to be above 12 months turnover, with the turnover continually increasing, so the amount held in reserves must increase to secure the stability required by the charity into 2021/22.

Our dedicated Treasurer has enabled the charity to report a balanced account sheet for the past 9 years, the environment remains challenging with very little security in the medium term. Further cuts could still materialise from the statutory sector, so opportunities and calculated risks must be taken as and when required.

Shropshire CCG has shown its confidence in the charity, commissioning new outreach services for later in 2021, with a commission life of 3 years.

Total income generated has increased from £541,735 in 2020 to £544,842 in 2021. No income has been deferred to the 2021 financial year (prior year: £Nil).

Expenditure incurred for 2021 was £429,600 compared with £397,907 in the prior year.

The charity made a surplus of £115,242 in 2021 compared with a surplus of £143,828 in 2020.

The closing fund balances were: unrestricted funds £216,614 and restricted funds £274,341.

SHROPSHIRE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT LIMITED (PREVIOUSLY SHROPSHIRE MIND)

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Principal funding sources

Principle funding was primarily from Shropshire CCG and Shropshire Council who now joint fund the provision of the drop in centre and outlying groups within the county.

Funding by the statutory sector remains the single largest funding source, but all key projects are ring fenced in their service provision.

The resilience of the charity is in the diversity of the funding streams, the board of trustees are continually sourcing new streams for the future requirements of the charity. No project or service delivery will be undertaken by Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd, unless it is fully funded and able to stand alone. No single project can be allowed to jeopardise the charity and its future service delivery.

The charity has maintained a tight fiscal policy, which is certainly paying off. The Treasurer and CEO are astute in all their financial actions, ensuring the charity is financially sound for years to come.

Having a surplus in this financial year, is indicative of the charity's drive to succeed within the sector and innovate into the future.

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd works extremely closely with partners, some of these partners support the charity in kind, with donations of furniture and other goods, allowing all funding to be utilised on service delivery. Networking in this manner has allowed the charity to significantly cut operating costs, with many more partners being willing to donate goods rather than cash.

Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd always fully supports and publicly acknowledges its partners, valuing our key partners in this manner has led to very mutually beneficial relationships, without which Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd would find operating more difficult. The nurturing of key relationships is vital to Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd now and in the future.

Investment policy

With reserves maintained within the main banking account, Shropshire Mental Health Support Ltd does not have any excess that allows for investments. The reserves are in place should a major funder fail to provide financial support, or for an excessive delay in payment from a funder. Interest rates are not attractive in the short to medium term, and anything that would pose a risk to the capital could not be acceptable to the charity.

Risk management

The business risks of the organisation have been identified by the Board of Trustees and compiled into a comprehensive risk assessment matrix in accordance with its Risk Management Policy. All of the identified risks are scored, preventative measures identified, and the matrix is regularly reviewed and supplemented as required. All basic Health and Safety risks have been assessed in accordance with our comprehensive health and safety policy which is reviewed periodically to ensure they remain relevant to changes in circumstance. The Board of Trustees keep up to date with all legal aspects that related to the governance of the charity, including business continuity planning.

Where appropriate, systems and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. The Board of Trustees have produced a strategic plan which focuses for the diversification of funding and activities, which requires trustees to take responsibility for delivering parts of the strategic plan. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the charity.

The CEO manages and supervises all staff and volunteers employed by the charity, being responsible and accountable to the Board of Trustees.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Future Outlook

The landscape post COVID-19 is going to be dramatically different to that prior to the pandemic. Services will have to evolve and be fast with their responses. Suicides and suicidal ideation is present in a great majority of those seeking support, with this, skill sets will have to be enhanced to deal with and support these needs.

DNA TRiM will be a prime focus as the charity looks to support as many professionals as possible, maintaining them within the workplace.

Virgin Just Giving is closing and new funding platforms will have to be commissioned for the charity as will new funding streams with growth in demand.

With the pandemic continuing to grip the country and inflation growing, there will be financial pressures brought upon the charity, these will include maintaining our dedicated and highly skilled workforce.

The charity has expressed its desire to purchase its own premises, or to find suitable premises that it can occupy in partnership with support from CCG or Local Authority. Negotiations are still taking place, as the current lease expires on 24 th December 2021.

The board has 7 excellent trustees, these will bring together key skills to enhance future growth and delivery within the charity.

Shropshire Mental Health Services Ltd continues to work with key partnerships, supporting the delivery of key mental health work across the county. This will continue into 2022 and beyond as the focus remains on joint working and joint outcomes. The landscape for service delivery will change and this will become evident as CCG’s retire on the 31 st March 2022 and ICS’s take over their role, but with far greater emphasis on partnerships to achieve outcomes.

Continuing to focus on the following:

Charity information

Shropshire Mental Health Support Limited (previously Shropshire Mind) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Suite 3 & 4, Observer House, Holywell Street, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY2 6BL, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, 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 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 a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

The emergence of Covid19 presented a new risk to the charity and the economy as a whole. The Trustees have considered the Covid19 impact on the charity and, while it has had some impact on 202021, this is not expected to impact on the charities ability to continue its activities in the future.

1.3 Incoming resources

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.

(Continued)

Donated goods or services are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, and conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated goods and services are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain goods and services of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

1.4 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis . Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charges as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1.5 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 provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Electrical equipment 25% on reducing balance Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10% on reducing balance

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.

1.6 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 ) .

1.7 Stocks

Stock relates to items held at the year end in the shop. These are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future 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 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities, however is subject to corporation tax on the shop trading as it has gone above the small trading tax exemption threshold.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.12 Debtors, creditors and provisions

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured and estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement value.

1.13 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted 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 financial statements.

1.14 Legal status of the Charity

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital.

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.
