TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Board of Trustees of the charity present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity Tunbridge Wells Mental Health Resource Limited for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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). This report is also the Directors’ Report required by Company Law.

Structure, Governance and Management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 11 June 1993 and registered as a charity on 18 October 1995. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The legal name of the charity is Tunbridge Wells Mental Health Resource Limited; however, its trading name is now Mental Health Resource, and this is what it is referred to throughout this report.

The Reference and Administrative details set out on page 1 form part of this report.

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles of Association are known as members of the Council of Management. New trustees are recruited through an open recruitment process. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association at every Annual General Meeting one third of the trustees shall retire from office. The trustees to retire in every year shall be those who have been longest in office. A retiring trustee shall be eligible for re-election.

There is a formal procedure for the induction of members of the Board of Trustees. All trustees give their time voluntarily.

The Board of Trustees meet every two months and have responsibility for the strategic oversight of the Charity. The Board of Trustees is supported by two sub-committees – Finance and Strategy and Marketing, Campaigning and Fundraising – which both meet at least quarterly. The Board of Trustees delegate the day-to-day management of the charity to the Charity Manager.

Sadly, David Hardie, one of our trustees and the founder of the charity, passed away in January 2021. David, along with a small group of Tunbridge Wells residents, established the charity in response to the lack of mental health services in their area. Their vision was to build a new mental health resource centre, a safe and caring environment for people suffering from mental ill health, to increase their self-confidence and feel a full and valued member of society. These remain the tenets of the charity today.

Our overall aim is to improve people’s mental wellbeing.

Our strategic objectives

Our aims and objectives fully reflect the purposes for which the charity was set up and the Theory of Change methodology has ensured that all our activities contribute to our aims and objectives.

The charity undertakes the following activities to achieve its aims and objectives:

The Board of Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit in the review of our aim and objectives and in planning all activities. Further details on our activities and how they benefit the public are detailed in the following section.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and Performance and how our activities deliver Public Benefit

2020/21 was a challenging year for everyone with the Covid-19 pandemic and the national lockdowns. The Board of Trustees are very thankful to all the staff and volunteers for their hard work and commitment over the last year as well as all the Charity’s supporters and funders, who have enabled us to continue to provide mental health support to our clients.

For our clients, Covid-19 deeply heightened their anxiety levels with many experiencing deteriorating mental and physical health, sleep problems and further isolation from the community. Clients faced additional difficulties with benefit claims, housing issues, anti-social neighbours, feelings of loneliness and panic attacks. There was also an increased number of people expressing feelings of suicide.

Mental Health Resource quickly adapted following the lock down and was able to provide support to clients remotely through 1-1 telephone calls, video calls, telephone group calls, WhatsApp groups and peer support groups, Zoom groups, text support, Facebook interactive chats and electronic bulletins. In addition, we have been able to provide face-to-face support to our most vulnerable clients, in a covid-secure way. We are particularly grateful to Crossways Community for allowing us to use their Kitchen Table premises from the early stages of lockdown and adapting it to comply with social distancing requirements, so that we could safely meet clients in person.

We are grateful for the flexibility, resourcefulness and commitment shown by our staff in delivering the amended services so quickly. We are also grateful to all our funders who recognised the challenges of Covid-19 and the impact on our clients, and who have maintained their financial support and commitment during this time.

Our income from planned community fundraising decreased because fundraising events were cancelled or curtailed, however we were successful in securing funding from charitable trusts to cover the additional costs of transitioning to remote ways of working. In addition, many members of the community supported us through different sponsorship events and crowdfunding initiatives.

The Charity has continued its work of seeking to improve the mental wellbeing of local people. Last year we provided help and support for nearly 950 clients, many of whom have complex and enduring mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bi-polar, obsessive-compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia. We are one of the few organisations in West Kent providing both long-term and short-term practical mental health support.

This year we have continued to strengthen our governance and advertised for new trustees with specific skills. We appointed one new trustee in the year and have appointed another three since the year end.

During the year, we developed a new partnership with Compaid charity. Many of our clients lack access to IT and we have been able to refer some of our clients so that they are loaned equipment and receive 1-1 training on how to use it.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

We continued to work closely with other organisations such as Porchlight and Citizen’s Advice.

Funding and fundraising

The charity continues to work closely with its current strategic partners; Shaw Trust, The Advocacy People and Engaging Kent, for whom we are sub-contractors on Kent County Council and Clinical Commissioning Group funded activities.

We continued to receive funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and BBC Children in Need. We also received funding from other charitable trusts and foundations, including Kent Community Foundation, Colyer Fergusson Trust and Kent Combined Members Fund.

In addition, we are particularly grateful for the fundraising support we received from the following organisations:

We are also very thankful for the support and commitment we have received from members of the local community who have undertaken various activities to raise funds for us. Unfortunately, there are too many people to mention by name, however, we would like to give special thanks to:

Through support from the community this year, we have been able to raise £32,127 in donations. Thank you to everyone who supported our charity with a donation or grant.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Project Activity

Our activity is grouped into three categories:

The detailed annual summary of achievements for each category is as follows:

a) Community Support

In 2020/2021 we helped 180 people through our community support programme and 88% of our clients reported increased mental wellbeing. Our community support projects are detailed below.

Many of our clients have complex and enduring mental health conditions ranging from anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia, self-harm, obsessive-compulsive disorders, eating disorders and suicidal feelings. These conditions require longterm practical and emotional support and therefore all of our projects provide a safe and caring environment which are not time-limited so that people can continue to access them for as long as they wish or need to.

The Hub

“I really don’t know what I would have done without you all; my head was all over the place. I can’t thank you enough.”

The Hub provides a range of support interventions to maintain and enhance mental and emotional wellbeing of people aged 18+ years. Clients are supported by staff and peers to manage their conditions and to work towards their personal goals in a supportive environment that nurtures and empowers. Activities are normally delivered from our centre in Tunbridge Wells but during the Covid19 pandemic we have delivered support to clients remotely.

During the last year we have continued to provide tailored 1-1 support as the needs of our clients increased during this time. Issues have been exacerbated by the pandemic and the restrictions, and include mental ill health, stress, fear, housing issues, anti-social neighbours, physical health, employment, relationships, benefits, discrimination, productivity, connection and involvement with the local community, loneliness, isolation, racism and domestic violence.

6

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The peer support enables people to share their experiences and to learn from others.

During the year we also delivered a dedicated out-of-hours support on a Sunday when access to other community support is restricted. We provided 1-1 telephone support and group telephone calls to facilitate peer support through a space to connect with others and share experiences.

We were also able to provide in-person 1-1 support for those who were most in need. During the first lockdown we were able to use the café of Crossways Community in Tunbridge Wells, to provide support through a perspex screen. When restrictions lifted, we were able to provide this 1-1 support from our premises in Tunbridge Wells.

We have also been able to resume work on our allotment, which has enabled people to engage with nature, learn new skills and connect with others. During the year we have also delivered outdoor groups and a walking group.

In 2020/21 The Hub supported 130 people. An evaluation of our activities showed:

The project is open access and people can refer themselves or be referred by other organisations and we have continued to receive and support new referrals during the year.

We have maintained our good working relationships with local organisations, including Shaw Trust, social prescribers working in GP practices, Porchlight, Citizens Advice, Nourish foodbank, Kent Together, Look Ahead, Jobcentre Plus, and community mental health services. This has enabled us to refer and signpost clients to their services and also ensure that they knew of the services we provided.

Time 4 U is a volunteer programme that supports clients who are housebound or socially isolated. This year two volunteers supported our clients through lockdown by providing regular contact.

7

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

We have continued to seek the views of clients throughout the year, asking what support they need and how we could meet that need, so that we can plan and deliver services based on a service user perspective.

Mental Health Resource is a delivery partner within the Shaw Trust’s Live Well Kent programme and provides emotional wellbeing support in West Kent. We continue to work well with a wide variety of other local partner organisations.

Reachout Adults

“Reachout has made a huge difference to me in how I manage my anxiety. I feel supported by the group. As I had to shield myself during the lockdowns, seeing other people really helped via the Zoom meetings.”

The Reachout Adults project helps people, aged 18+, with their mental health and wellbeing issues by providing confidential, mental health peer support groups across West Kent. The groups operate in Southborough, Edenbridge and Paddock Wood and focus on mental wellbeing and recovery in a caring and non-judgmental environment. Clients are supported to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing and to manage their own long term mental health conditions.

These issues include anxiety, depression, stress, isolation, loneliness and those with long term and more complex mental health who are able to live in community safely.

The group is open access and also supports those on the autistic spectrum and people with early signs of dementia.

Pre-Covid-19, the groups met on a fortnightly basis in community venues and they also arranged and planned their own social activities. During the last year, the group peer support was delivered by telephone or zoom group calls on a weekly basis with additional 1-1 telephone support provided. In the summer we made the most of the relaxation in restrictions and the nice weather and the groups were able to meet up outside to do walk and talk groups and land art.

During the year, 32 people attended the groups and were able to access mental health support and enhance their mental health and wellbeing. The groups benefited people as follows:

8

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

People can refer themselves to the project or can be referred by professionals and other organisations, including support workers, GPs, occupational therapists, counsellors, police & community police, Kent County Council community wardens, faith ministers, domestic abuse organisations and hostels.

Mental Health Resource is part of a delivery network funded by Engaging Kent, the lead provider for the Service User Voice contract in Kent. As part of this contract, the Reachout project actively seeks out the views of clients on the mental health system in West Kent. Clients are encouraged to have a voice in the shaping, development and delivery of mental health services by completing surveys and providing feedback to service providers. These views are used to review systems and identify where improvements need to be made. During the year we captured and reported the views of 91 people.

Our Reachout Manager attends bi-monthly Local Mental Health Network meetings, and any other appropriate local West Kent meetings, and continues to have good relationships with other organisations.

Reachout Youth

“Reachout Youth helped me when I thought I couldn’t get through I feel less alone and understand it’s normal to have bad days. Thank you.”

The Reachout Youth project provides two weekly groups for young people aged 13-19 who are experiencing emotional or mental health difficulties. The groups offer young people an informal, fun and confidential space to share stories, reduce stigma, develop coping strategies and make friends. They provide opportunities to meet other young people who’ve had similar experiences, and to share things they may not usually shared with others.

Sessions focus on wellbeing, including activities, games and discussions on themes surrounding mental health. We often run creative sessions based around a mental health theme which helps to initiate discussions and reflection. We also invite guest speakers to deliver sessions on specialist subjects. Themes and activities this year have included identity mask-making, body image, self-esteem, slime making, peer-pressure, cooking, collaging, self-soothing object making, origami and how to cope with anxiety.

Due to the pandemic, we have adapted our services and delivered the groups on Zoom. In addition, we sent regular emails with tips on how they could support their mental wellbeing. We also provided text support and 1-1 telephone calls. For the online groups, we sent out art packs filled with all the materials needed for our creative sessions.

The issues that the groups can help with are varied and include anxiety, low mood, stress, family relationships, friendships, bereavement, autism, ADHD, loneliness, isolation, and other long-term chronic mental health.

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

There is an open referral process for the project and young people can self-refer and other referrals are also received from the Kent County Council Youth Hubs, schools, GPs, other youth clubs/agencies, support workers, community police, community wardens and faith ministers.

During the last year, we supported 20 young people and achieved the following outcomes:

b)Advocacy

Assert

“Thank you for attending my ward review meeting this morning, it made a real difference to have you there remotely. I was able to have time to speak and understand what was happening more regarding the treatment.”

Assert is a specialist advocacy service which provides:

The statutory service supplies Independent Mental Health Advocate (IMHA) to people whose liberty is curtailed by the Mental Health Act, i.e. patients detained in hospital for assessment or treatment, released under restrictions and liable to recall, or placed in the care of the Local Authority. The IMHA service covers a variety of acute, rehab and forensic wards across our area and it also covers smaller satellite units when the need arises.

The aim of the community advocacy service is to address the disadvantage experienced by people with poor mental health when dealing with external agencies.

Assert provides this service across West Kent, Maidstone, Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley and is an established partner within Kent Advocacy and funded by The Advocacy People.

Along with all other projects, the Assert project transitioned to remote ways of working and were able to offer additional contact to clients and professionals through Lifesize, a video communications platform.

10

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

In the financial year 2020/21 the project worked with 782 clients on 1,371 issues (125 clients were supported with community advocacy and 657 clients through the Independent Mental Health Advocacy). The service supported improvements to people’s mental wellbeing, as follows:

c) Mental Health Training

“A huge thank you! The feedback from the training has been really positive and the way you pitched it really hit the spot!”

The Charity runs training workshops which are designed to raise awareness of mental health, help people to understand mental health issues, recognise signs of mental health problems and identify support for people experiencing mental illness. We run bespoke courses tailor-made to organisations’ requirements and also run the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training.

This year we have delivered workshops to Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, and MHFA training for employees of a local voluntary sector organisation. All workshops and training have been very well received.

Treasurer's report

The charity’s income reported a slight fall on the prior year to £400,704 (2019/20: £412,686). While grants and donations rose to £181,844 (2019/20: £153,407) largely due to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Kent Community Fund, 2020/21 saw a decrease in income from charitable contracts due to a reduction in funding relating to the Charity’s Advocacy project and a slight decrease in funding received with regards to our Community Support services. This reduction in income was more than offset by a decrease in expenditure to £361,221 (2019/20: £392,810), primarily reflecting lower costs and overheads as a result of charitable services moving to a remote platform rather than face to face (necessitated by the global pandemic). Overall the charity reported a surplus for the year of £39,483 (2019/20: £19,876).

Reserves increased to £475,677 (2019/20: £436,194); of this, £176,568 represents designated funds made up of the charity’s freehold property of £172,468 and £4,100 put aside for essential maintenance of the building. £43,859 of the reserves is restricted, representing funds that must be spent on specific projects in the following year. General reserves have risen to £255,250; excluding other fixed assets of £4,985, the charity’s free reserves are £250,265.

Cash at bank and in hand has increased to £305,352 (2019/20: £233,299).

We have received the support of many organisations and individuals in addition to the funding received from our strategic partner organisations and grant-making charitable trusts, without which many of our activities would not take place.

Reserves policy

The Trustees recognise the necessity to hold reserves of around six months to:

Six months’ running costs are forecast to be £212,498 and so the free unrestricted reserves held of £250,265 at the reporting date are in line with the policy level.

Investment policy

The Charity’s investment objective seeks to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk while recognising that capital preservation is of paramount importance. The investment policy therefore requires the Charity to hold all of its assets in cash sterling, deposited with institutions with a minimum rating of A-, and within the levels stipulated by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme guarantee.

12

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees has conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. A Risk Management document identifying all major risks has been prepared and agreed by the Board. This is currently reviewed twice a year to ensure greater control and governance.

As we emerge from the Covid-19 restrictions, the Board of Trustees is also regularly reviewing the measures that the charity needs to put in place for resuming all in-person activity to meet the needs of clients and also ensure the safety of clients and staff.

The Trustees have always identified one of the key risks to the Charity as being the withdrawal or termination of funding of our main contracts and as such is working to develop strong working relationships with contractors, developing current projects and introducing new projects to ensure the long- term security of the organisation. A fundraising strategy has been formalised and prioritised.

Plans for the Future

We continue to review our strategic plan regularly to identify how we achieve our strategic objectives and prioritise and improve our work on supporting people with mental health issues in the community.

We will ensure that we take appropriate steps in the mitigation of risks associated with current and future development of new projects, services and activities.

Covid-19 will continue to have an impact on how we deliver services. In all our planning of activities we recognise the differing needs and wishes of clients and our duty of care to staff and clients. We will be resuming some face-face activity where it is safe and practicable to do so and will also continue to deliver some services and activities remotely. For the time being all indoor activity will be with 1m+ social distancing measures in place.

We will endeavour to seek new and diverse sources of income, securing short, medium and long-term funding for the charity to enable us to continue to provide the much-needed support to improve people’s mental wellbeing.

We will build on the work we did during the year to strengthen and develop our Board of Trustees and ensure we have a well-run organisation. We will be updating our constitution in line with best practice guidance.

Going Concern

The Board of Trustees acknowledge and recognise the ongoing potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the future operations of the charity, its beneficiaries and stakeholders, and on wider society.

13

TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

We remain confident that given the measures we have in place for in-person activity, the ongoing ability to deliver some services remotely, the commitment from our main funders and our current level of reserves that we are well placed to adjust financially.

The Trustees consider that the charity’s reserves as at 31[st] March 2021 are sufficient for Mental Health Resource to be considered a going concern for 2021/22. This assessment is made in the light of the following:

  1. Mental Health Resource’s forecast cash reserves at the end of financial year 2020/21

  2. Mental Health Resource’s budget & projections for financial year 2021/22

  3. The additional work undertaken in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic and the commitment of existing funders

  4. Mental Health Resource’s future plans

Trustees' responsibilities statement

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF TUNBRIDGE WELLS MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE LIMITED

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

I report to the Board of Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Tunbridge Wells Mental Health Resource Limited (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Tunbridge Wells Mental Health Resource Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and rounded to the nearest £1.

In preparing the accounts the trustees have considered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the charity’s operations. The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties over the charity's going concern status. Further information is provided in the Report of the Board of Trustees.

Status

The charity is a private company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is 2a Grosvenor Park, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 2BD.

Income

Income from grants and donations is recognised when the charity is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal offer is made in writing, unless the grant contains terms and conditions outside of the charity's control which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds. Where grants are received in response to a proposal including a budgeted timescale, such that the timescale for the expenditure is implicit in the grant agreement, the income is recognised in accordance with that timescale.

Income from charitable activities is recognised over the period to which the income relates. For contracts, income is recognised to the extent that the contractual services have been supplied. For performance-related grants, income is recognised to the extent that performance-related criteria have been met.

1 Accounting policies continued

Gifts in kind are included in the financial statements when the charity is entitled to them, when it is probable that the charity will receive the economic benefits, and when the fair value or value to the charity, as appropriate, can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. Direct costs, including direct staff costs are attributed to the relevant activity. Support costs, including support staff costs, are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of premises and income.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to the charitable activities, and include governance costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds can only be used for the 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.
