Message from the Chair and Chief Executive of Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Peter Molyneux and Dr Jane Padmore

An opportunity to do things differently

As we navigate the legacy of the pandemic, a cost of living crisis, significant levels of need for our services and our ambitious transformation programmes, it is clear that the NHS must continue to improve and innovate . The last 3 years have tested the mental health of the nation, with mental ill health now the leading cause of disability in the UK . We need to harness the skills and expertise of our NHS charity partners to develop services for the future, and create new opportunities to improve services for the local communities we serve . As our official NHS charity, Heads On specialises in the art of the possible, showing what we can create when we work in partnership with our communities to put people first .

As part of Sussex’s transformation of mental health community services, Heads On has delivered our Mental Health Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) grants programme, supported by NHS Sussex, awarding funding across the county that support people’s recovery and enables them to live well in their communities . The grants programme builds strong partnerships between the NHS and voluntary sector that put people at the heart of their own recovery, on their own terms . It involves peer support, arts-based recovery, specialist therapy for refugee and asylum-seeking communities and piloting mental health support for male Gypsy Romany Travellers .

It is our pleasure to introduce Heads On’s annual report and accounts for 202223. This report shows that against the backdrop of another year of tremendous challenge across NHS mental health and learning disability services, we are at our best when we work hand in hand with our NHS charities to create change.

“Breaking down the stigma of mental health is key to our “ success.

In a world where black people are almost 5 times as likely as white people to be detained under the Mental Health Act, the Charity’s work to address ethnic inequalities in healthcare continues apace, delivering anti-racism training in partnership with Brighton & Sussex Medical School across the Sussex healthcare system . This involves training NHS, voluntary sector and social care colleagues alongside one another . Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and Heads On are working to develop the programme .

Across the NHS, staff continue to work tirelessly to meet the needs of patients, families and carers . They continuously demonstrate compassion and commitment to providing high quality care . The Charity’s Nightwaking project launching in summer 2023, will support Sussex Partnership’s night staff; who work in particularly challenging circumstances and can face many health inequalities and barriers to career progression .

Prevention is key to successfully addressing health inequalities . This involves addressing the root causes of poor mental health and offering creative routes to recovery . More Than Football, in partnership with Brighton & Hove Albion’s Albion in the Community, shows what is possible when NHS charities reach outside the NHS . An early suicide prevention project for middle aged men, More Than Football has been hugely successful; using the power of football to support men to build confidence, play a part in their communities and, crucially, talk about and seek help for their mental health . It has helped us reach men who would not otherwise engage with mental health services .

As an NHS charity, Heads On demonstrates that out of the most challenging of times can come moments of innovation, beauty and joy . Make Your Mark’s programme of music workshops for people with severe mental illness, launched by Fatboy Slim in summer 2022 and supported by Heads On, did exactly that . This initiative created unique opportunities for music participation at Sussex Partnership, at the same time as challenging the stigma and discrimination that is still too often associated with mental illness .

Breaking down the stigma of mental health is key to our success . Our thanks go to everyone who has supported Heads On’s work this year . It is as a result of you, your conversations, awareness raising and fundraising, that we have been able to achieve everything we have . Your support means so much, to everyone who has ever struggled with their mental health . Thank you .

Message from the Charity Director Rachael Duke

Partnerships for the future

Heads On’s history is rooted in partnership, with one foot in the NHS and the other in the voluntary sector. Since we launched in 2014 we have worked to ensure people with mental health problems can access the very best care possible both within and in partnership with the NHS, in whatever way works for them.

Over the last 12 months, key to this has been our external grant making - something we had not undertaken prior to the pandemic and which became an essential part of the recovery support we were able to offer people . With our fundraising staff pivoting to focus on delivering our grant programmes, we were able to make new grants this year totalling £270,000 to 10 community projects across Sussex, supporting recovery and relieving pressure on the NHS . Whilst this had an impact on our fundraising income, it enabled us to support people across the county facing some of the greatest health inequalities which had been significantly exacerbated by Covid-19 .

As an NHS charity our most important partner remains Sussex Partnership, who share our commitment to addressing health inequalities both locally and with national relevance . Co-produced evaluation of community services by people from minoritised communities makes recommendations for how NHS mental health services can improve and was published this year . Our partnership with the Health Foundation has enabled us to deliver our AI for Length of Stay project, testing whether machine learning could predict length of stay on adult mental health wards to improve patient outcomes . At the same time, our internal small

grants programme supports projects across the Trust to improve everyday life for service users and staff; this will always be essential to our work .

Alongside clinically focused projects, our creative recovery programme continues to grow - Good Space, delivered in partnership with Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival and Sussex Past offers high quality arts and sports volunteering opportunities for people with experience of psychosis . It is a celebration of partnership working and has done much to challenge the stigma around severe mental illness . We are delighted to be working with Natural England and Recovery Partners to support user-led natural recovery research - we await the results of this work with much anticipation .

People who use Sussex Partnership services tell us how much it matters to them that their mental health is seen in the context of their whole lives . At Heads On, by working in partnership with community organisations, NHS partners, academia and the arts and sports, we seek to do exactly that, supporting people to maintain better mental health throughout their lives . This simply would not be possible without the generosity of our partners, funders and supporters . From the bottom of our hearts, thank you .

Review of the Year Achievements and Performance

Review of the Year

This has built on our learning from delivering Community Partnership Grants on behalf of NHS Charities Together during the pandemic, and has enabled Sussex Partnership and NHS Sussex to support a programme of voluntary sector led work that reaches people who can face many barriers to accessing NHS support and significant health inequalities, including refugees, travelling communities and the LGBTQ+ community . The NHS Long Term Plan recognises the vital role the voluntary sector plays in supporting people to stay well in their communities, and our work offers a template for how NHS trusts might wish to consider working with their NHS charities to support this .

During 2022/23 Heads On’s core focus has been on delivering our grants programmes into the voluntary sector, supporting over £270,000 of projects that address suicide prevention and complement the transformation of NHS community mental health services, supporting people’s recovery in their communities in places and spaces that work for them.

Alongside our partnership grants programmes, our commitment to innovation remains, and we are delighted to have launched a range of essential pilot programmes this year to support people most impacted by the pandemic . Support for families on CAMHS waiting lists is much needed as mental health needs amongst young people following the pandemic continue to grow . Nightwaking will support Sussex Partnership night staff, who can face many health inequalities and barriers to career progression . Good Space provides arts and sports volunteering opportunities for people using early intervention in psychosis services, alongside our pilot music workshop programme for people with severe mental illness .

Our support to enhance day to day life for people using and working within Sussex Partnership services continues, with over £46,000 made available in small grants that make a real difference to people’s experience . Funding sea swimming, the Heads On run club, yoga classes and gym equipment through to gardening programmes, arts and crafts activities and sensory spaces, creative recovery is testament to our commitment to support new work that offers non-clinical routes to recovery .

As our small team have focused on grant making over the last year, our fundraising income has dropped, alongside the economic challenges faced by all charities fundraising during the cost of living crisis . A renewed approach to fundraising will be vital for the year ahead to sustain the level of growth and ambition Heads On has been able to deliver to date and is part of the strategy review we are undertaking to build a robust NHS charity for the future at the heart of Sussex Partnership’s strategic development .

Mental Health Sussex Community Grants

Grant making on behalf of an Integrated Care Board

In early 2022, building on its external grant making experience, Heads On took on the management of a voluntary sector grants programme on behalf of the mental health collaborative of Sussex Health & Care, funding work across the county addressing suicide prevention and complementing the transformation of NHS community mental health services. Grant making is an important part of partnership working with the voluntary sector, enabling smaller organisations to access funding, as recommended in the NHS Long Term Plan.

The programme has supported voluntary sector partners across the county to Innovate with new programmes, Build on existing work and Grow their own organisations . We have made awards totalling £220,000 during 2022/23 and been able to target people who have been most impacted by the pandemic .

Project:

Dresscue Community sewing space for people experiencing personality, emotional intensity and attachment disorders.

Dresscue is a community sewing space providing creative and social opportunities for people accessing support through Lighthouse, a specialist service for people experiencing personality, emotional intensity and attachment disorders provided in partnership between Sussex Partnership, Southdown and Mind in Brighton and Hove .

Through weekly workshops, participants learn and connect socially through creative activity reducing loneliness, building mental and community resilience and supporting people to contribute to, and participate in, a creative recovery programme that sustains them .

The structure and logistics of the sewing sessions were co-produced with Lighthouse members .

Dresscue participants report they have experienced improvements in:

Staff from Lighthouse observed that many members appeared more relaxed in this space, displayed more confidence, and had a better understanding of boundaries .

onca.org.uk

‘Two other members, whose attendance at Lighthouse groups has been poor in the past, have attended multiple groups and stayed for the full three-hour session, which represents huge progress for both of them.’ - Lighthouse group case study

One participant explained: “It gets me out of bed in the morning. It gives me the excuse to get out and go. I said to Lisa (Lighthouse staff) today I was lying in bed thinking oh I can’t be bothered to get up and then I thought, no I’ve got sewing. I’ve got to get up because I enjoy doing it. And you’re just so helpful. I can’t believe I’ve done a lot, I’ve learnt a lot. Even though it’s only lavender bags I’ve actually learnt a lot of sewing techniques. I just really enjoy this group, it’s one of my favourite groups of the week.

‘I think you’ve made a big difference to me and especially my mental health. Just the whole programme has been a good thing for me and it’s nice how you help people and you’re going to help me make my paddington bear coat.”

Dresscue continues into Spring 2024 .

G’s story

‘G is woman in her forties, with a history of childhood abuse - emotional, physical and sexual. She came to BWC asking for support with ‘closing the door’ on her relationship with her mum, who she had experienced a troubling relationship with throughout her life. She was also looking for help to speak up for herself in relationships without becoming overwhelmed by anger. G was also going through the process of her children returning to live with her after a period in care.

At times, G would use the time to process the ups and downs of the week and the very emotional experience of being a fulltime mum again. This involved working on understanding the complex mix of feelings of guilt, hope, loss and joy that she was experiencing on a daily basis.

Through the lens of her everyday experiences and using the therapeutic relationship as a model, G had the opportunity to reflect on the kind of relationships she wants to have in her life and how she can create them. She decided not to end contact with her mother, instead choosing to manage their communications in a way that was more comfortable for her. She worked on her other relationships, finding ways to tell the truth of her own experiences in ways that could be heard. This involved the pain of realising when others were not in a position to be ready to listen to her. Finally, G was able to express that she would have liked more counselling sessions, but that she felt that she got what she had hoped for during her time with BWC.

Creative Routes to Recovery 17

Creative Routes to Recovery

GOOD SPACE Arts and sports volunteering opportunities for people with mental health problems

In 2022 Heads On partnered with Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival and Sussex Past as founders of Good Space, funded by the DCMS’s Volunteering Futures Fund via Arts Council England.

The programme provides creative, inclusive and meaningful volunteering opportunities in arts, heritage and sports organisations across Sussex for people with mental health problems with placements including De La Warr Pavilion, Ditchling Museum of Art & Craft, Hastings Fat Tuesday, Sussex Cricket and Worthing Theatres and Museums .

Heads On has trained the host organisations in supporting volunteers with mental health problems and/or neurodiversity and is co-producing a buddy model to support people using Sussex Partnership’s Early Intervention in Psychosis services into volunteering . For people who have experienced a first episode of psychosis, there can be many barriers to accessing volunteering and employment, particularly the stigma that persists around severe mental illness . Good Space aims to change this, through informed and inclusive training and buddying people with peers with lived experience to support their volunteering journey .

“Being involved in the Good Space co-production has been really exciting. To be asked to be a part of a new idea/project, made my past experiences feel very valued. I liked how everyone was treated with the same respect. It all felt very balanced and inclusive. And it was really nice that the co-production opportunity follows with another opportunity which is to be involved in it. The feeling of continuity as an EBE feels important.” Amelia, Good Space Expert by Experience

Creative Routes to Recovery

Music Workshops for People with Severe Mental Illness

Heads On is a proud funder of Sussex Partnership’s Make Your Mark programme, supporting creative recovery through arts participation.

“genuinely loved it”: “It makes you want to pursue it more and think, ‘I am good enough, I do exist in this world, I’m not just past it.’” Jess, participant and drummer

In summer 2022 we saw first-hand the power of music and finding your creative voice for people with severe mental illness, when we funded a series of music workshops at Rockwater in Hove for people using services across Sussex . They launched with a DJ workshop with Fatboy Slim who said of the workshops “It’s sort of life-affirming really, it’s good for me to see the people who’ve never touched a set of decks before going between two tracks and thinking: ‘Whoo!’ Sometimes I can get a bit blase about what I do for a job, and seeing that innocent joy about the way you can manipulate music: it’s exciting, it centres you, it gives you a nice warm feeling . So it’s joyful to see people who’ve been struggling going through that process .”

“it’s joyful to see people who’ve been struggling going through that process.” Fatboy Slim

Looking to the Future 20

Looking to the Future

Over the last three years the nation has faced the greatest public health crisis in living memory, with the Covid-19 pandemic disrupting all our lives in ways we never thought possible. We now face a sustained cost of living crisis, and turmoil across the globe, at a time when financial security, stability and safety have never been more needed.

In NHS mental health services, we are seeing unprecedented demand for our care, as the nation struggles to deal with the health, social and economic impacts of the pandemic and their effects on mental health . It is clear that the work of Heads On has never been more important .

Throughout 2023-2024, Heads On’s strategic review will inform the future direction of the charity, focusing our efforts on the areas where we can have the greatest impact and tackling the root causes of mental ill health . A refreshed fundraising strategy will build sustainable funding routes for the charity and allow for the impact the cost of living crisis is having on charitable income across the sector .

Service users tell us that their mental health is just one part of their story, and that the best kind of support comes when their mental health is seen and cared for within the context of their whole life .

The transformation of NHS community services seeks to provide care in places and spaces that feel right for people, giving them choice in how they access services and in the roles they play in their communities . At Heads On, our work to deliver nonclinical routes to recovery, tackle the root causes of mental health and create support for those who can face real barriers to accessing services means our potential as a strategic partner to Sussex Partnership has never been greater .

Whilst the pandemic has left crisis and disruption in its wake, it has been a great leveller for the conversation on mental health, normalising and building acceptance . As a proactive NHS fundraising charity, the time for Heads On to build on this is now .

Financial Review 22

Financial Review

Total operating income for the financial year was £460k (2021/22: £1.9m).

Donated income includes a grant from Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust of £219k to fund the operational costs of the charity.

The reduction in income from 2021/22 sees a return to pre-pandemic levels and is in part attributable to the deployment of the charity’s fundraising staff to running external grant programmes, thus reducing fundraising activity in year . Income in 2021/22 was exceptionally high due to non-recurrent income received to deliver external grant programmes which will conclude in Spring 2025 .

Expenditure for the year was £526k as follows:

Charitable Activities £421k (2021/22: £764k) .

Support Costs £115k (2021/22 £48k) Raising Funds £105k (2021/22 £140K)

Increased support costs reflect the management of external grants programmes which the charity was commissioned to deliver . Within these programmes, whilst significant grant commitments have been made as detailed in note 5 of the accounts, these are not yet shown as expenditure within the accounts .

As an active NHS charity, predominantly funding projects within our parent NHS Trust and making external grants with restricted donations, our annual expenditure sometimes exceeds our income as we spend funds that we have held over time or restricted donations that are fundraised for specific, time-limited programmes . When these funds are spent they are not routinely replenished, particularly if they are restricted for specific projects or services .

The statement of financial activities shows net expenditure for the year of £65k and net losses on investments of £14k.

Investments: including Investment Strategy and Performance

The balance sheet consists predominantly of investments, including cash and within stocks and shares.

The committee continues to adopt a low risk investment strategy when dealing with short term investment of donated monies, with current asset investments totalling £269k (2021/22 £266k) . Heads on has continued its investment strategy during the year to include some long term equity investments to help improve the returns against its endowment funds which totalled £458k (2021/22 £464k) at the year end . The equity investments decreased in value during 22/23 due to reduced investment portfolio performance .

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds of the Charity total £1.1m (2021/22: £1 .2m) and comprise:

West Sussex Dementia Services Kitty Harrison Memorial Fund

Service Improvement

Health Foundation NHSCT Development Grant

Support for Children & Young People

Chalkhill Rockinghorse Fund Chalkhill Fund

Reserves Policy – note 5 support costs

The Charity seeks to apply all funds received in an efficient and timely manner.

The Charity is mainly reliant on the generous goodwill of the local population and organisations through their donations and legacies . The holding of reserves allows for planned expenditure to progress as intended, uninhibited by the volatility of income levels from year to year .

The level of reserves held is determined by reference to future spending plans . This applies not only to general funds but also to the level of restricted funds, in the context of their terms of reference .

Funds are not allowed to accumulate except where plans may require sufficient funds to be initially collected, either by appeal or through the gradual build-up of donations before expenditure occurs . The Charity considers that it has met its reserves policy during the period, holding free reserves of £123k at the year end .

Financial Control and Risk Management

The Trust’s Standing Orders and Financial Instructions apply in full to the operation of the Charitable Funds, which are subject to periodic review.

The Corporate Trustee fulfils its legal duty by ensuring that funds are spent in accordance with the objectives of each fund . By designating funds in this way the Trustee is able to respect the wishes of the donors .

The Trustee has also paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit .

The Trustee has complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission .
