The trust deed provides for a minimum of 3 managing trustees Trustee selection methods with no maximum. New trustees are identified and appointed by (eg. appointed by, elected by) the remaining trustees. All trustees are recruited in line with the charity’s equal opportunities policy.
Trustees are re-appointed annually at the AGM by rotation with the longest serving eligible for re-election or another person appointed as a trustee in their place.
## **Section C Objectives and activities**
## **Objectives**
The charity's objectives are to relieve the ill health of those who suffer from phobia and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by promoting self-help. This objective is achieved by providing a network of self-help therapy groups run by volunteers, most of whom are ex-sufferers. The charity also provides a helpline which offers support, information and advice on phobias, OCD and other related

anxiety disorders.
## **Activities**
The Covid Pandemic continued into 21/22 and the impact on mental health has been well documented. In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The charity remained focussed on its group network throughout the year but at times the Charity was completely overwhelmed with enquiries.
Throughout the pandemic we have continued to run all our weekly self-help groups but nothing was delivered face to face. All our groups ran virtually using Skype, Teams and Zoom. Training for new volunteers was also delivered via Zoom and this had some unexpected benefits, one of which was flexibility. The training could be delivered to volunteers in different parts of the country at the same time and the schedules could be very flexible including a mixture of daytime and evening training.
The charity has also spent time and resources in establishing an electronic administrative system. Pre covid we operated with a more paper-based structure and it became evident that this was not suitable for the Virtual world. We have invested in an online operating system which gives all volunteers, employees and Trustees instant access to all the documents and resources they need.
Our group network continues to grow and we have seen an increase in the number of young people aged between 16 & 18 who have joined our groups. A surprising development was the number of young people who called us directly. Before we dropped our age limit most of our enquiries came via parents and carers. It is pleasing to know that we offer a service which young people can access independently.
During the year we ran a very successful evening seminar on managing anxiety. This took place on Zoom and more than 100 people attended. Professor Paul Salkovskis and Dr Victoria Bream gave very informative presentations and J-Lo Hall gave a very moving account of how she overcame extremely debilitating OCD. The increase in demand for our services over the last 2 years has provided the charity with definitive evidence for the need to expand our network. The Board of Trustees recognised that to facilitate growth the charity needed more expertise from an individual with a strong background in Strategy and Charity Development. With this in mind, at the end of 2021 we successfully recruited a CEO to work alongside the Clinical Director.

investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
## **Section F Other optional information**
TOP UK has witnessed a lot of change and encouraging expansion over the period from March 2021-22. Covid continued to have an impact on the charity in several ways. Once again showing increasing number of enquires from potential service users and enthusiastic volunteers; affecting an increase in training programmes. We have continued to carry out our work successfully and have met these increased needs using both a professionally and sympathetic approach. We therefore continue to maintain our ability to offer immediate and continuous access to our groups for all current and potential service users. The expansion of our services to reach 16-18 year olds has proven to be an important and worthwhile addition to our services.
The expansion of groups has remained in the virtual setting and to date this intuitive way of providing our support has remained extremely successful. One group is now preparing to establish a face to face approach in line with previous pre covid group strategies. More group leaders have received training in the last few months. We have also launched several new groups allowing access to new members across the country. We are assessing the benefits of virtual groups which we plan to continue offering to meet with current demands for our services.
In the past year with have taken on a CEO to work alongside our Clinical director, Trilby, previously known as our Director. This has proved to be an extremely beneficial process and allowed our new Clinical Director to reduce her hours as was her wish. Our new CEO will focus on fundraising and implementing new strategies to increase our presence as a unique mental health charity.
Alongside these two new roles we have also employed a part- time Administrative Assistant to oversee the everyday running of the charity.
The methodology of Gradual exposure therapy remains our trusted method for delivering our services. Our format remains consistent with the principles used by the mental health services and we continue to accept members signposted through the NHS website. These numbers continue to increase. Our monthly data collection continues to be recorded in the form of Fear Questionnaires and Y-BOCS forms. Data collection has remained incredibly important to the charity and has been improved through the installation of Microsoft office. Data can now be entered directly by each individual group member. We hope that the implementation of this new method will help us to effect a more efficient and less time consuming collection of data each month. We recognise the importance of this analysis and see it as vital in protecting and supporting the credibility of our work.
Our Fundraising efforts have been reduced as we have worked through another difficult year. We have a number of fundraising events scheduled over the next few months. We remain grateful to previous funders for their continued support and continue to seek out new funders and resources that can provide us with further generous funds and rewards. These past, present and future resources are continuously reviewed. Once again many hours of research and enquiry have given rise to a collection of healthy funding to support this year’s accounts. We demonstrated a more productive use of our fundraising strategies earlier this year by hosting a Spring Conference.

During the year we have once again welcomed a new trustee to the board. We remain committed to utilising the diverse skills which our trustees have brought to the table. We feel very honoured as a small charity that we have a phenomenal diversity of knowledge and talent which exists within the board. This has helped to reenforce the current day to day running of the charity but more importantly has focussed us on ways to improve the charities vision and resources allowing the charity to move forward.
Once again, we thank our CEO, Hannah, Clinical Director, Trilby, our Fundraiser, Kate, Sophie our Administrative Assistant and our body of Medical Advisors who remain committed to supporting us in our work.
