HILLINGDON MIND TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED>(INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Financial review Having service reviews agreed with key funders, projects were run to budget ensuring no further pressure was put onto reserves and the overall sUlUS for the year has increased the level of free reserves carried forward at the financial year end. The transactions undertaken by the chariiy are detailed in the statement of financial activities within the accounts and in the related notes. The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by formal Contracts for provtsion of mental health Servi and this funding primarily comes from the London Borough of Hillingdon, Hillingdon ICB and CNWL NHS Trust. The rest of the 8ervices are funded through the Big Lottery, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Ruislip Lions and the A P Taylor Trust. The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for re$eNè$ considering the main risks to the organisation and have established a policy whereby a level of uncommitted reserves approximating to a third of the charity's current annual level of income should be maintained. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The total level of uncommitted reseNes held by the charity at the balance sheet date, as noted within the Statement of Financial Activities, has met that target, having shown a further improvement for the year under review, and the trustees are aware of what needs to be done to maintain a consistent level over forthcoming years. The Finance Offl¢er and Director provide quartedy management accounts and ¢ash-flow reports to the Board of Trustees to assist with the effective oversight and management of the charity's finances. Mthilst Ihe charitable company continues to face challenges in securing sufficient and appropriate on-going funding, th8 trustees are pleased wlth the net surplus achieved in the year which has added to the charitable company's reseNes carried fomard. The budget for 2024 - 2025 indicates a prolected modest surplus at the and of the financial year, based on services to be provided. The trustees have reviewed the charity's reserves at the balance sheet date and have concluded that there are no restricted reserves to carry forward. Further detalls relating to restricted and unrestricted reserves are provided in the financial statements. Whilst interest rates showed an improvement toward the second half of the period under review the trustees have adopted and maintained a prudent approach with regard to investment policy and few funds were deemed 5Ultable or available for long term investment. Consequently, and to protect the position attained by the charitable ¢ompany, its funds are maintained in current and deposit accounts. Plans for the future The charity will continue to provide mental health services in the London Borough of Hilllngdon and 15 active in extending, or developing new projects to complement the existing services by working collaboratively with the ICB, CNVVL NHS Trust, the London Borough of Hillingdon and North West London Mind to identify new or enhanced services. The development of training and olher methods of income generation, which will lead to long term sustainability, are also at the forefront of Hillingdon Mind's objectives for the forthcoming year. The trustees remain mindful of the state of the charity's finances but are confident that the steps which have been implemented will allow the charity to continue its operations into the foreseeable future.

HILLINGDON MIND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HILLINGDON MIND Rasponslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trLtstees, 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 intemal 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 ontinue as a going cOnrn, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem 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. Auditorfs responsibilities for thè audit of tha flnanclal ststements 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. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether Ihe financial statements as a whole are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audito1$ 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. Misststements 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 finan¢ial statement8. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-complian¢e with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect materlal misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are Capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 16-
HILLINGDON MIND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HILLINGDON MIND Extant to which the audit was consldered capable of detectlng Irrègularltlos, Includlng fraud We have considered the following matters in determining susceptibilty to irregularity within these financial statements.. We assessed the susceptibility of the entity's financial ststements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. We considered and identiffied laws and regulations to which the Charity 18 8ubject and detemiined their significance in the context of the entty. We obtained an understsnding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity and how the entity is complying with that framework We obtained an understanding of the entity's policies and procedures on compliance with laws and regulations, We obtained an understanding of the entity's policies and procedures on fraud risks, including knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud, We ensured that the audlt work was undertaken by an engagernent team with the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or r8¢ognise non-compliance with laws and regulations, that any such incidences communicated and any discussions with speciallsts on areas of the financial ststem8nts which may be particularly susceptible to fraud have all been addressed. A8 the entity is a charltable company subject to audit we obtained an understanding of the entity'8 current activities, the scope of its authorisation and the effectiveness of its control environment. We considered how our approach to the audit has affected the likelihood of detection of irregularities In explalnlng the extent to which the audit wa8 consldered capable of detecting irregularities and took into account.. the inherent difficulties in det8Cting irregularities., the effectiveness of the entity's controls; and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error and our responsibilities for the engagement will mean that detection of those lypes of irregularity which give rise to a risk of material misstatement are those on which we may be able to provide the most comprehensive explanation. 17-

Assessing whether management judgments, where made, in detemiining accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias. - Reviewing correspondence with thlrd parties Obtalning written representations from management In relation to th8 risk of fraud and emr and in respect of inforniation provided to us in the course of the audit. There ara inh8r8nt limitations In our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any, Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be more difficult to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activty- Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one a1Vity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred, and is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. Costs of generating funds compris8 the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading and operation of clubs. 1.6 Tanglble flxed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depr8ciation and any impairment losses.

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). 1.8 Cash and cash equlvalents Cash and cash 8quivalénts 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 Flnancial instruments The charity hes elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 '8asic Financial Instruments. and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its finanaal instruments.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably c()mmitted to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. Crltlcal accounting esllmates 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 estimate5 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 Quent and fvture period5. Estimation techniques applied, most particularly in the calculation of appropriate rates of depreciation and the recoverability of debtors, have been consistently calculated and the trustees consider these to be prudent but reasonable. -24-
