Derbyshire Mind’s Vision is:

“For everyone in Derbyshire to have good mental wellbeing and to live their best life.”

Derbyshire Mind’s Purpose is:

“To work with people in Derbyshire to deliver services and support, build awareness of mental health and promote mental wellbeing.”

Derbyshire Mind is recognised as a key voluntary sector service provider. Being part of this sector enables us to deliver services that are influenced by the needs of local service users in an innovative and cost effective way. We work closely with other mental health service providers in both the voluntary and statutory sectors, to ensure our existing and proposed services meet both the local and national agenda for mental health.

Derbyshire Mind has a positive local reputation, committed and highly skilled staff, quality awards which underpin our service delivery and an experienced board of trustees with a wide range of skills. Derbyshire Mind is committed to quality, both in terms of the services we offer and as an employer.

Derbyshire Mind has achieved the Mind Quality Mark (MQM) award — MQM involves a rigorous assessment process undertaken every three years which covers all aspects of charity governance and operations. Derbyshire Mind also holds Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common online threats.

Derbyshire Mind’s services are funded by Derbyshire County Council, NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board, grant income and fundraised donations. We also receive occasional legacy donations.

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

DERBYSHIRE MIND

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Community Mental Wellbeing Services

Our community programme offers a varied menu of community based activities, groups and courses across Derbyshire and Derby City. These activities are all designed to achieve the aim of boosting mood, reducing isolation and loneliness, and connecting individuals to their community.

Our community programme is co-ordinated by Derbyshire Mind and delivered through a range of partner organisations.

MindSpace

The MindSpace programme consists of supportive community groups that create space for people to get together, meet new people and talk and be listened to in a friendly and inclusive group. These are currently supportive community ‘walk-and-talk’ groups in Derby City, Chesterfield and Swadlincote. All MindSpace walks are supported by Derbyshire Mind volunteers.

Supported Self-Help

Supported Self-Help is a short-term guided programme that empowers individuals with low to moderate mental health needs to discover tools to support and improve their mental health. It is an early intervention service aimed at anyone starting to experience symptoms of worsening mental health, such as stress, low mood, bereavement, worry, low self-esteem, and anger.

Derby Wellbeing

Working in partnership with Community Action Derby and other Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations, we provided peer support and wellbeing coaching for people in Derby, as part of the Derby Wellbeing service. Derbyshire Mind ceased delivery of this service in November 2024.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Activity Project

We led and co-ordinated a partnership project to help improve mental wellbeing, social connectedness, resilience, and support networks for people in Derbyshire, with a specific focus on physical activity and wellbeing sessions and support for people to access these.

As part of this, we administered a small grants programme to support delivery through other VCSE organisations and groups. This programme was completed in August 2024.

Crisis Support Drop-in Services

Our Crisis Support Drop-In services in Buxton, Ripley and Swadlincote offer an out-of-hours friendly and welcoming community crisis support space open to anyone over 18 experiencing a mental health crisis or emotional distress. We aim to offer people support and help at their time of need in a relaxed and comfortable non-clinical environment.

Derbyshire Recovery and Peer Support Service and Living Well Service

Derbyshire Mind deliver this service in the district of Erewash, as part of a partnership led by Rethink and incorporating two other VCSE delivery partners (P3 and Derbyshire Federation for Mental Health). Derbyshire Mind employ Wellbeing Coaches and Peer Support Workers who work as part of multidisciplinary teams to support people with their mental health and wellbeing.

Trauma Informed Derbyshire

We are working in partnership with the public health team at Derbyshire County Council to lead the development of systemwide support and training to help embed trauma informed practice and approaches. Our vision is to build a trauma-informed workforce, that is able to recognise the impacts of trauma and respond in ways that promote recovery.

Contribution made by volunteers

Our MindSpace and Community Mental Wellbeing programmes and our Crisis Support Drop-in services could not be delivered without the commitment and support of our volunteers. During the period we have continued to recruit, train and support new and existing volunteers. At the end of March 2025, Derbyshire Mind had a total of 32 volunteers (including trustees).

Derbyshire Mind values the work of those people who raise funds to support our work. This year we have continued to benefit from fundraising activities and we wish to thank our fundraisers and friends for their loyal support and commitment.

Achievements and performance

There were 985 attendances in total across our Community Mental Wellbeing and MindSpace programmes, an increase of 204 from the previous year.

We supported an average of 49 people per quarter through our Crisis Support Drop-in services, and 55 per quarter through our Derbyshire Recovery and Peer Support/Living Well service in Erewash.

Our Supported Self Help service supported an average of 50 people per quarter.

90 people across the VCSE sector attended our “Developing Trauma-Informed Understanding” workshops.

We successfully delivered our flagship fundraising event "Mental Elf' for the second time - a 5K fun run with over 200 tickets sold and a surplus of over £7,000.

We secured c.£426,000 of new income through our business development and fundraising activities.

We increased the number of volunteers who support the delivery of our services.

We completed our Cyber Essentials re-accreditation and undertook the self-assessment and review visit process for our Mind Quality Mark re-accreditation.

Safeguarding Adults and Children

Derbyshire Mind has policies in place for safeguarding adults and children, which are reviewed and updated regularly. There is a named safeguarding lead on both the board of trustees and the senior management team, who take leadership responsibility for the organisation’s safeguarding arrangements. Staff and volunteers are provided with appropriate safeguarding training, including as part of their induction programme.

Financial review

The year to 31 March 2025 produced a net deficit of £283,009. The trustees exercise close scrutiny of the financial affairs of Derbyshire Mind and Management Accounts are reviewed monthly by the Finance Committee, and at Finance Committee meetings before being made available to all trustees for approval at Board of Trustees’ meetings.

Reserves policy and going concern

A Board approved reserves policy is in place to develop a level of reserves to cover three months running costs which currently approximates to £71,558.

At 31 March 2025, the charity had total funds of £267,770 of which £66,287 are designated reserves and £1,588 are restricted reserves, leaving unrestricted, available reserves of £199,895.

DERBYSHIRE MIND

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees, who are also the directors of Derbyshire MIND for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

DERBYSHIRE MIND

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DERBYSHIRE MIND

eS

Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Derbyshire MIND (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 charity 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 concem 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 charity'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.

Other information The other information comprises the information included in the 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 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.

DERBYSHIRE MIND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF DERBYSHIRE MIND

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charity’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 the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

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 of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Charity information

Derbyshire MIND is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Room 12, Derby West Business Centre, Ashbourne Road, Derby, DE22 4NB.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (‘FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 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 £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

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 trustees acknowledge the deficit in the year but are pleased to note that good progress is being made in securing funding for the future. In addition, the trustees and senior management have undertaken intensive activity to restructure operational activities in order to reduce costs.

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

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.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designated to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Equipment costing more than £1,000 is capitalised.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Computer equipment

33% straight line per annum

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 the statement of financial activities.

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).

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.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

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.

a 1Accounting policies (Continued)

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 payments 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.

1.11. 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.

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.
