Objectives and activities

Summary of the objectives

The objects for which the Organisation is established shall be, the relief and rehabilitation, of those suffering from Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and other related Anxiety Disorders, which shall include those who are suffering from Tranquillizer Withdrawal problems.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit.

Helpline: The helpline is continuing to do well receiving approximately 20000 calls this per month. The helpline is now a 0300 number meaning it local rate and included in free minutes meaning no cost to the charity and low or free for callers which is a huge improvement on the previous number. This accounts for the massive increase of calls. To cope with the demand we trained additional helpliners and volunteers took on every shifts in many instances helpline volunteers did extra shift duties in times of need and we cannot applaud their efforts enough. We continue to train volunteers who wish to further their knowledge of anxiety disorders and participate more actively within the charity. The number of helpline volunteers we trained was insufficient to meet our needs due to the fact that our helpline volunteers work from home and require a land-line and many young potential volunteers now only have a mobile phone. However, despite the current financial restraints, we are extremely proud to say that we have a nucleus of volunteers who are of long standing and have been serving the needs of sufferers for 10 to 15 years.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit. (cont'd)

Publicity:

The Publicity Officer reports that we are retaining good relationships with the Press and Media and they continue to help us spread the word about anxiety disorders and how No Panic can help sufferers. We have done radio interviews and television programmes as well as magazines and we have had our resources printed in several publications.

Social Media:

Social media such as Facebook and twitter have been key in promoting our work, we have a couple of active Facebook pages which themselves provide support to sufferers as well as publicise the charity.

We have seen a huge increase in followers across all social media platforms and a steady stream of support requests.

National development work:

The new website is continuing to be a success, it has more items added to the shop and provides a live chat facility. After the website went live it has been very active. And we have seen an increase in sales through the online shop People are able to join and renew membership and also apply for volunteering opportunities. The shop is working well and has a range of useful products in and we are already seeing an increase in donations via the website.

Charity shop:

Since joining the Oakengates community we have become a popular shop amongst shoppers. We enjoy getting involved in the local community and we also provide information and support to those who come in the shop. Many are pleased to see a mental health organisation on the high street and is a very relevant cause as many people have been affected by anxiety. We take work experience students and The shop has generated much needed income to the organisation bringing in £6053 in the last year.

We get many donations so we hope to continue to do well.

Reserves policy:

The Trustees continually review the charity’s requirements for undesignated reserves in line with its current spending levels and Charity Commission guidance. The trustees are of the opinion that No Panic requires a minimum level of reserves approximating to 6 months projected running costs and, at present, the Trustees believe that they have achieved this objective.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit. (cont'd) Risk management:

The Trustees continually assess the major risks to which the charity is exposed. The major risk being the loss of principal and continuous sources of funding. They believe by maintaining the reserves at the levels stated above this will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. Internal risks are minimised by implementation of procedures for all aspects of the charity’s work. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.

The Trustees have had regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit. Declaration:

The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of NOPANIC

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a Fellow member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 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 my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
