CO-CHAIRS AND CEO REPORTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Mind in Enfield and Barnet had a busy and productive year at both a strategic and operational level.
In 2022 we acknowledged the important contributions made by trustees who came to the end of their tenure with the Board, and were delighted to recruit several new members to the team. Our thanks to departing trustees; Laurane Till, Michael Walsh, Mark Leveson and Tahir Ayaz. Keeping the Board of trustees refreshed and engaged is vital for every charity and we have greatly welcomed the addition of Lisa Marsh, Lorraine Kelly, Tiku van Houtem and Melissa Tam as our latest recruits. Since their arrival they have all made their mark through their individual skills and knowledge.
In FY 2022-23, the charity has grown again, and has successfully delivered a wide range of services to support those living with mental ill-health and increased face to face activities post-pandemic. Whilst our main focus is on delivering a quality service to more people each year, we are delighted to recognise the improved financial management which has allowed us to report a positive close, the first time for several years. This has been achieved through our hard-working, dedicated staff team and the inspirational leadership provided by Alex Tambourides and his senior colleagues, Paul King, Emma Saunders, Ellie Crawford and Maria Emmanuel.
We invite you to read more about our services in the report that follows.
FY 2023-24 will see the Trustees and staff work to finalise our strategy for the next 3-year period and look to both consolidate existing services and expand our offerings for the benefit of the local communities.
As always, we are grateful to our volunteers and supporters for their help and commitment to the charity.
Jayne Pearce and Rob Hayter Co-Chairs of the Trustees

MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET
CO-CHAIRS AND CEO REPORTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
As we enter the final year of our current 3-year strategy, the upwards trajectory of the organisation is strong and so are the renewed challenges we face in the external environment. We moved into a ‘post pandemic mindset’ but new issues include the ongoing impact of the Ukraine war, the cost-of-living crisis and increased demand on mental health services. We also face mental health service transformation together with the opportunity of increased investment in non-clinical mental health services. Our current strategy was written in a pre-pandemic world which has changed in many ways so this year we are refreshing our 4-pillar strategy to create a new strategy built around our values that will help steer us through an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. Progress against our current strategy has been as follows:
-
Financial Sustainability – In order to provide independent and consistent services for people with mental health issues, the organisation itself needs to be financially solid and sustainable. Mind in Enfield and Barnet (MiEB) was created through a merger in April 2021 of two organisations (Mind in Enfield and Mind in Barnet) and, prior to the merger, both organisations were running heavy deficits and had low income. Since 19/20, we have TRIPLED the combined income of MiEB’s two predecessor organisations and finished the year 22/23 with a surplus of £31k. Going forwards we will be focusing on diversifying our income, reflecting a general drive towards greater independence and differentiation from statutory services.
-
Community Leadership – We aim to achieve this goal both through 1) by delivering services to people directly and 2) by working with others to influence mental health and mental health services for the better. We have gone from strength to strength in this area. I am continuing in my role as chair of the Barnet Mental Health Strategic Partnership and we have instigated work around the cost of living, poverty informed practice and have led on creating a Barnet Mental Health Charter. The Mental Health Partnership board in Enfield is still co-chaired by me and a local authority lead, and we are also proud to support the work of the Enfield Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) Mental Health network which brings together over 30 local grass roots organisations to collaborate and learn around mental health. In addition to our local work (including running IAPT networks and partnerships with local providers), we have also been working hard to ensure a voice for mental health at an NCL level. As the mental health lead for the North Central London (NCL) VCSE Alliance, I am trying to ensure that the voluntary sector across NCL can link together to collaborate and influence systems change across our five boroughs. This year we will be setting up an NCL VCSE Mental Health alliance to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mental Health trusts and Integrated Care Board (ICB) across this area.
-
Services that Change Lives – In 22/23 we supported over 5000 people across Barnet and Enfield, which is triple the number supported at the commencement of our strategy in 20/21. We have three main departments, Wellbeing, Therapy and Advocacy & Advice and have increased our impact in all areas. In the ‘activities’ section you will get to hear more about what we are doing in depth but, it is also important to think about why MiEB can make a difference… Our IAPT service (soon to be rebranded) is compliant to NHS standards and runs to the national model and, because of our local links and partnerships with local organisations we can reach higher numbers from the BAME community than our statutory partners. We’re also uniquely placed for our Crisis Café provision, Sanctuary; because we are both a voluntary sector organisation and a mental health specialist, we can offer choice, independence and assurance to people with mental health problems who don’t need statutory support but who do want to find a place of understanding, sensitivity and safety that isn’t part of the establishment. Going forwards the challenge for us is to keep innovating and to preserve our independence in an increasingly integrated ‘systems’ world for health, and the year ahead has some exciting innovations on the way, for instance Autism and Mental Health services in partnership with local organisations in Barnet.
-
Operational Excellence – The fourth strategic pillar is about achieving solid internal processes, policy, procedure, governance, and infrastructure. 22/23 saw us achieve our Mind Quality Mark, something that the newly merged organisation can be proud of. In addition to this we have embedded a new online HR System, have begun to roll out an organisation wide database, and are working to further embed our values at board and operational levels. This year will see us have a fully-fledged lived experience participation framework and move our work on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) to the next level via our staff led EDI task force. We conducted a staff survey which showed that over 75% have lived experience of mental health issues. This fact sets us aside from other organisations and will be proudly communicated as part of our communications strategy for 23/24.

CO-CHAIRS AND CEO REPORTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Our Values:
Real Change
We believe that change in people’s lives and the systems we work within must be person centred, meaningful and, where possible, concretely evidenced. We design and deliver services based on need, pro-actively gather, listen to, and act on feedback, and use an outcomes-based approach to ensure we make a real difference in people’s lives.
Empowerment
We believe that everyone deserves agency and autonomy and that for real change and growth to be sustainable - empowerment, respect, and involvement in decision-making must be at the centre of how we treat each other and people we work with.
Integrity
We believe that trust and transparency are crucial in how we relate to each other and people we work with. We will be realistic in our aims and expectations, and consistent in our actions. We will listen, we will act on what we hear, and we will ensure that decisions we make are always based on improving the lives of people with mental health issues.
Compassion
We believe that compassion is the beating heart at the centre of everything we do and everyone we do it with. Our boundaries and professionalism co-exist with warmth, empathy, respect, and meeting people where they are, in order to address their needs.
Equality
We believe that health inequalities of any kind are not natural, tolerable, or inevitable. The quality of your life should not be determined by your ethnicity, wealth, gender, or any other factor relating to your health or societal context. We stand against racism, stigma and all forms of prejudice and want to make real and positive changes that move us nearer to a fairer society.
Human resources report
We worked with staff and Trustees to agree our Values and have been embedding these into everything we do. Our recruitment is now Values-based and the Values are central to our new Appraisal process. We are also including the Values in all our HR policies.
There has also been further work on the Behaviours associated to our Values, with an organisation wide away day to look at our Values in action. Following this, a Values and Behaviours framework is being developed, which will be shared with our service users and staff and Trustees.
We are committed to communicating effectively with all our staff and hold weekly staff meetings, with staff given protected time to attend. These meetings are important to keep staff up to date with developments and to provide a forum for staff to share ideas, ask questions and to share any queries or suggestions they may have. This year, we have also changed the format of the meetings to use this protected time for staff development, with speakers on a range of subjects related to the important work we carry out.
We have worked on updating our HR policies and processes and now have new paperwork in place for probation, DBS and associated risk assessments and have updated our family friendly policies and flexible working options. We have also developed new Appraisal paperwork which is user friendly and supports the discussions during the appraisal meeting.
The recruitment of staff to new and developing services has been a key priority during the year and we have seen our staff numbers increase. Despite a challenging recruitment market, we continue to work hard at attracting and retaining qualified, experienced, and committed staff to work within our teams.

Achievements and performance
a. Therapy
I APT Counselling - Enfield
The counselling service is Improved Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) compliant and provides Step 3 High Intensity counselling to people aged 16 and above, registered with a GP in the London Borough of Enfield and experiencing common mental health problems such as mild to moderate depression and anxiety. We are commissioned by North Central London Integrated Care Board Enfield (NCL ICB) to offer free evidence based, individual IAPT compliant counselling (8 sessions) delivered by 24 volunteer counsellors who are qualified or in their 2nd year of training within a BACP Accredited course. The service is supported by a Clinical Lead, a service co-ordinator, 2 administrators, a Lead assessor, 7 self-employed assessors and 5 self-employed supervisors. The service is accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abides by their standards whilst following the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. Since Covid19 we deliver counselling sessions in a blended way where the client choses whether they would like to engage in therapy face to face or online via video and telephone.
Over the last year we have successfully achieved our targets on access (number of clients accessing our service) and recovery (reduction of depression and anxiety levels after therapy). As the Lead provider for Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) IAPT in Enfield we supported 668 clients, out of which 485 were seen by MiEB , and 183 by our partners: Alpha Care, Enfield Saheli, and Nafsiyat. Collectively our recovery rate was consistently above the 50% target throughout the year providing statistical evidence to NHS England that talking therapies help individuals feel significantly better. The partnership continues to grow and this year we have been focusing on expansion plans and cost of living impact as we have completed our 3-year contract with the ICB. We have also continued facilitating and chairing the Enfield IAPT Network which is attended by the main IAPT Service (NHS Talking Therapies Enfield), our partners and commissioners.
Our aim across both IAPT compliant services is to offer high-quality evidence-based counselling that is accessible, free of charge and contributes to improving access of psychological therapies; to alleviate mental distress and tackle health inequalities. Clients can self-refer via an e-referral on our website or contact the office or be referred by their GP or any professionals. Once a referral is received a comprehensive person-centred assessment will be offered to all clients within 10 days of their referral to identify their needs and suitability of the interventions we offer: Generic counselling and Person-Centred Experiential- Counselling for Depression (PCECFD).
Client demographics:
-
76% self-referrals
-
55% come from the BAME community
-
75% female, 25% male
-
24% 20-29yrs, 24% 30-39yrs, 22% 40-49yrs, 17% 50-59yrs, 10% over 60yrs

Achievements and performance (continued)
Client feedback:
“The sessions helped me develop my self-confidence and assert my needs. I feel free.”
“Mind is a service that I used for several times in the past. This is due to the friendly staff from beginning to end ie referrals to counsellors. I’ve always felt comfortable and not judged with the assessment process and felt like I have been given a matched counsellor to talk to. Ideally| I would have preferred to have had a longer amount of sessions. However, I feel that the counsellor has been able fully explore my needs thoroughly through all the sessions. “
IAPT Counselling - Barnet
Similarly, to the Enfield IAPT Compliant service, our service in Barnet is IAPT Compliant and BACP accredited and provides Step 3 High Intensity IAPT Compliant counselling to people aged 16 and above, registered with a GP in the London Borough of Barnet, experiencing common mental health problems such as mild to moderate depression and anxiety. The service is commissioned by NCL ICB Barnet to offer free short term individual IAPT compliant counselling (8 sessions) delivered by 9 volunteer counsellors, who are qualified or in their second year of training within a BACP accredited course. The service is open 3 days a week and is supported by a service co-ordinator, an administrator, a Lead assessor, 3 self-employed assessors and 3 self-employed supervisors.
In the last year we achieved the service access target and supported 303 clients as well as achieving recovery targets above 50% across the full year. The service is under a lot of pressure as demand is greater than our monthly capacity and this has an impact on waiting times from assessment to 1st session. We have submitted expansion proposals to increase the workforce and expand our service provision to better support the demand in the borough and continue offering an effective therapeutic intervention. In addition, with the support of our commissioners, MiEB has developed a network for all the IAPT providers in Barnet, and we have chaired the network meetings which are attended by the main IAPT service (Let’s talk Barnet) and 3 more VCS providers and commissioners.
Client demographics:
-
49.5% self-referrals
-
47.85% come from the BAME community
-
71% female, 29% male
-
21% 20-29yrs, 18% 30-39yrs, 20% 40-49yrs, 23% 50-59yrs, 18% over 60yrs
DOVE service Enfield and Barnet
DOVE is a service funded by client donations and a legacy received previously by Mind in Barnet offering openended counselling delivered by experienced qualified counsellors. The service is supported by a Therapy Service Manager and two administrators and has since grown to have 8 self-employed counsellors and 2 selfemployed supervisors providing service delivery. The service has supported 44 clients over the last year, 6 of whom have been in therapy for more than 1 year. An additional service called DOVE community offers 16 free counselling sessions to individuals experiencing moderate to severe mental health issues who are in financial need. DOVE community was launched in September 21 and is supported by a team 6 volunteer counsellors, 4 of whom are qualified counsellors and 2 self-employed supervisors. To date 36 clients have received counselling through the community service with 23 of these being between April 22 and March 23.
Client feedback:
“The initial call was arranged very quickly. The therapist was very patient and asked all relevant questions. We talked about my childhood, teenage years, and adulthood. It was a relief to talk it out and get the frustrations and anxiety out in the open. Overall, the service provided was excellent.”

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achievements and performance (continued)
“A very worthy service which has helped me through a difficult time to question my thoughts and actions and the same of others. I would wholeheartedly recommend this service to others.”
“The service provided over the past months was very welcoming, professional and efficient. It was easy to make contact (appreciate that this is limited to certain days and times) with the office. Janice and colleagues always very friendly and welcoming when making visits in person.
The counselling service with Marcia always allowed me to go at the pace I was comfortable with and discuss issues that were relevant. Always on the right level and appropriate for the circumstances. This service is vital for people to share things in private and receive much needed help independently from their own family and friends if and when required. I would recommend this to anyone in need, to address problems that cannot be seen on the outside by anyone else. Thank you all for helping me with this most difficult phase.”
Social and Emotional Support to Recover from the Pandemic – Enfield
Mind in Enfield and Barnet partnered with Citizen’s Advice Enfield in a pandemic support and recovery project funded by NCL ICB. The aim of the project was to support Enfield residents impacted practically and emotionally by the Covid-19 pandemic. Citizens Advice Enfield provided residents with specialist advice and Mind in Enfield and Barnet offered emotional support and counselling (up to 12 sessions) for anyone emotionally impacted by the pandemic and presenting one or more of the following issues: bereavement, relationship and family issues, problems at work, and Long Covid. The counselling service offered sessions in person, online and on the phone. From April 2022 to March 2023, we received 96 referrals, and 55 clients received counselling. 51.5% referrals came from Enfield most deprived wards (with IMD 1.0 - 2.0).
Client feedback:
“Amazing service, really helpful, understanding, empathetic, loving. All I can say is that I have been truly blessed to have been given the opportunity to use this service.”
“At the beginning of the sessions I felt very lost. At the moment I feel very strong and helpful to myself and others. I have learnt a lot about myself.”
“Very well-organized service. My therapist was kind and considerate. Went out of their way to accommodate me. Helped me to understand my feelings and how to deal with them. They were able to provide me with an environment that I felt very safe in, thus allowing me to talk freely. Would have loved to have a few more sessions as I felt I did not have enough sessions to delve into other concerns regarding my mental health. But it was a good start I came out a stronger, happier and more able to understand and cope.”
Woodhouse College Counselling Service
Our counselling service opened in September 2021 and has run for a second academic year supporting students aged 16-19 years experiencing common mental health issues. Our team of 3 qualified counsellors offered short-term counselling on site (up to 8 sessions) Monday to Friday. The service is now well established and running smoothly and efficiently. Between September 2022 and June 2023, we received 7 referrals and 66 clients completed counselling. The counsellors offered 130 drop-in sessions for students in crisis or needing emotional support.
The counsellors were also invited to run two workshops for students to help with exam stress during mock exams season. Students found relaxation and breathing exercises helpful as well as the information presented to them about how to manage their stress and anxiety.
Case Study
This student contacted the Safeguarding Team as they experienced stress and anxiety that limited their ability

to focus on their schoolwork. They had had support for their anxiety in secondary school. They were finding it hard to cope with college being often overwhelmed and tearful. They attended a drop-in counselling session and were referred for a counselling assessment. They were offered 8 sessions of counselling with a review mid-way through.
The client tended to self-isolate, felt anxious in social situations and preferred to spend time alone rather than connect with peers. They struggled with self-acceptance and the counsellor encouraged them to be more selfcompassionate.
The client’s anxiety manifested in worry about the future. The counsellor worked creatively with the client using visualization and helping them express wishes for the future aiming for more integration between past, present, and future.
The client and the counsellor experimented with techniques to manage exam stress – sensory calming techniques, imagery work, and affirmations were found to be the best for this client rather than the use of breathing techniques.
After a few sessions, the client felt more in control of their schoolwork and more resilient despite not having done as well as they wished during their mock exams.
The client explored family relationships and missing extended family time in country of origin. They were able to reflect on whether they wanted to go away for university or live at home. Their sleep had improved. The increased acceptance of their anxiety lessened its impact on their daily life.
Their initial CORE10 form at the beginning of counselling showed a score of 23 indicating moderate to severe psychological distress. At their last session, the client scored 12 which showed an improvement to their wellbeing through counselling to mild psychological distress. At the end of their counselling the client felt that they had gained tools to manage stress and felt more confident about the exams and the future.
Woodhouse College Staff Clinical Supervision
Following 2 years of counselling delivery, our provision to Woodhouse College has expanded by introducing staff clinical supervision following several discussions with the college on what support we can offer to their staff for their mental health support and wellbeing at work. Over the last year, we have supported staff working at the college with individual clinical supervision. This provision is supported by a self-employed supervisor, who offers supervision on site monthly to staff. Feedback from staff and the college indicate the sessions are going well, staff feel very much supported by this service and it complements our existing counselling provision to support staff and students' mental health.
b. Empowerment
North London Forensic Service (NLFS)
We are contracted to provide generic advocacy support for inpatients within the NLFS, which includes 12 medium secure units incorporating 2 specialist Learning Disability and 2 Rehabilitation units. The service provides non-statutory advocacy support around care and treatment, ward rounds, care plans, leave, environmental issues, health and safety, and discharge/move on planning, as well as a patients’ forum and carers’ forum. We have continued to provide high quality advocacy within this setting, via one-to-one work, attendance at ward meetings and engagement with patient forums and carers forum. During 22/23 the Advocate supported over 250 clients with over 700 advocacy issues. They also attended over 150 community meetings, patient forums, and carers forums to provide group advocacy support.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achievements and performance (continued)
CAMHS Advocacy
In August 2020, the NLFS contract was extended to include Eating Disorders Inpatient Advocacy in St Ann’s (Haringey), and Child and Adolescent Mental Health services (CAMHS) inpatient advocacy in the Beacon Centre (Barnet). For 22/23 the contracts were separated and a new one was negotiated solely for the delivery of CAMHS Advocacy. Negotiations regarding recommencement of eating disorder advocacy for 23/24 are ongoing.
We have continued to deliver face-to-face in the Beacon Centre throughout changes of contract and ward management. The advocate worked closely with young people to implement a patient-led forum, with appropriate links for escalation and influence. Key to this was developing good working relationships with incoming management and ensuring that patients views remained a focus throughout changes. The advocate provides one-to-one support during ward rounds, care plans, and discharge planning. The service has provided one-to-one advocacy support to 55 young people on 142 issues.
Rehabilitation Advocacy
We provide advocacy support to patients on the high dependency rehabilitation ward at Chase Farm Hospital. This moved to face-to-face in July 2021 and has continued throughout. We now have a weekly presence on the ward, which has resulted in higher engagement levels and quicker resolution of issues. We have continued to provide advocacy support around care planning, discharge, placement reviews, benefits, and community engagement. We have supported 50 clients with around 180 advocacy issues during this period.
An extension to this contract started in February 2022 covering Penrose, a 22-bed step down residential unit. Since the launch, the service has been providing weekly drop in / outreach clinics and working closely with staff and Rehabilitation team to identify advocacy needs. The service provided one-to-one advocacy support, including complex safeguarding issues, court of protection engagement, care and treatment, and environmental issues. They have also provided group advocacy support on issues impacting the whole unit, including rent increases and support changes.
We have provided support one over 140 advocacy issues during this period.
Community Advocacy
We continue to deliver community advocacy under the Enfield Advocacy Service, a partnership of organisations with Enfield Disability Action as lead provider. We provide generic advocacy, and specialist housing and benefit support services.
We have continued to operate remotely throughout this period, offering face-to-face where necessary and safe to do so. Due to the restrictions, and subsequent difficulty faced by clients getting a professional referral, we have opened to accept self-referrals as well as GP and professional referrals. This has been very well received by the community and has allowed the service to respond to emerging trends and needs and provide support in a timely manner. This has been particularly important considering the challenges experienced by the community such as homelessness, illness, employment issues. We have provided advocacy support to 160 people throughout this period.
Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Advocacy
MiEB have subcontracted a specialist provider in Enfield to provide BAME Advocacy. We have supported them to develop the advocacy offer via training and consultancy, increasing their capacity and workforce skills to meet the needs of the community. We work closely alongside them to ensure that support is in place for them, and to integrate shared learning into their delivery and our wider Advocacy delivery.

Sanctuary Barnet
Sanctuary Barnet, our crisis café in Barnet, launched in April 2021 and delivers face-to-face one-to-one and group support. Support offered includes: an out of hours telephone line (4.30-10pm weekdays and 12-6pm weekends) for immediate support and crisis de-escalation; up to 4 follow-up support sessions with a support worker; access to short term (up to 4 sessions) high level emotional/ therapeutic support from a counsellor; peer support groups; a safe environment/ café where people can drop in and attend groups & workshops.
We have established highly effective referral pathways with the Crisis Team & Helpline, Locality MH teams, GPs, and community organisations. The service has had unexpectedly high rates of referrals from IAPT providers who have long waiting lists and a high volume of clients with suicidal ideation. Sanctuary has served a crucial support function for this group.
The service has provided one to one support to 800 clients, as well as groups such as crafts, Men in Mind, and peer support.
Sanctuary Enfield
Sanctuary Enfield was launched in November 2020 as an out of hours telephone service, offering immediate access to emotional and practical support, and signposting, to prevent escalation into crisis by addressing underlying causes and working alongside the client to find routes to resolution. In July 2022 it relaunched as an out of hours face to face service that is fully embedded within Crisis Prevention Clinical Pathways. The service will operate 5-10pm weekdays, 12-5pm weekends and offers a combination of structured support including both booked and drop-in support, group support and social activities. The helpline will continue to be active during shift hours to provide self-referral support, and an advice line to carers, crisis teams, and blue light services. The service offers an initial telephone assessment via the dedicated line, or via referral from professionals, and up to 3 follow-up support sessions which are tailored to the needs of the client. We also have established groups and drop in opportunities including Mindfulness, and Art groups.
We established referral pathways with the Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey Mental Health trust (BEH) Crisis Helpline, Enfield Crisis team, prevention houses, GP surgeries, IAPT, and local Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations. Referrals steadily increased throughout the delivery period (partly due to lessons learnt from implementation of Sanctuary Barnet), and the service adapted to emerging demand by offering additional support sessions and longer term/more in-depth support if required. Throughout the period the service supported 360 clients.
Graham Park Community Wellbeing support
Following community consultation and collaborative work with Colindale Communities Trust, Meridian Wellbeing and other key partners we have launched a pilot project within Graham Park Estate in Barnet. The service runs one day a week from the Old Library, with Meridian Wellbeing providing daytime wellbeing support and MiEB providing place-based evening crisis prevention support. This was launched in March 2022.
Courses & Workshops
We have worked in partnership with Barnet and Southgate College to deliver a varied and accessible course programme in Enfield for several years. This has continued throughout lockdown, with all courses being delivered remotely. The programme includes recovery and personal development courses such as mindfulnessbased stress reduction, self-esteem, anger management, chair-based yoga, and craft-based activities such as
Page 13

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Achievements and performance (continued)
art, hand sewing and jewellery making. We have continued to expand the courses on offer, providing additional courses on healthy eating and nutrition, and gardening activities.
In April 2021, we launched the Recovery College in Barnet. This enabled us to open the courses and workshops that have been running in Enfield in partnership with Barnet & Southgate College to Barnet residents. Throughout this period, we have significantly increased the number of people accessing courses and workshops in Barnet and Enfield, engaging around 300 people.
We also lease a garden space within Pymmes Park where MiEB run Therapeutic Gardening workshops, community gardening sessions, and Connecting with Nature workshops. We have secured funding via the National Lottery to support ongoing gardening sessions and workshops face-to-face, and to expand the offer to include access for community groups and schools, and open events to promote awareness and use of the space. Alongside our weekly gardening sessions, we continue to provide access to the space for school groups for outdoor education classes, occupational therapy groups, and social events for the local Mosque and several Enfield based community and faith groups. We have also run a variety of workshops within the space including mosaic making, gardening in small spaces, and garden herbs use in cooking and medicine.
We are continuing to develop additional courses including a gardening offer in Barnet working alongside BEH and our VCS service, taster sessions for inpatients, and joint workshops alongside psychology hubs.
Social Groups
Libra and Electra groups continue to be popular. They now run in a blended approach of remote and face-toface providing a variety of social activities, reflective supportive space, wellbeing activities. Volunteer opportunities have been developed and they are now co-facilitators supporting delivery.
Integrated Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Projects
In August 2021 we were awarded contracts to deliver the Integrated VCS component of NHS Transformation in both Enfield and Barnet. These contracts are focused on integrating key VCS skills and ways of working, crucially psycho-social approaches to wellbeing and peer support, within Community Mental Health Teams to provide holistic support, address social determinants, improve resilience through facilitating community engagement, and provide step down support upon discharge.
Barnet
In Barnet we formed Wellbeing Together CIC, a collaboration of MiEB, Meridian Wellbeing, Community Barnet, and Inclusion Barnet, to deliver the project. We have employed 6.5 FTE Community Engagement Practitioners and Peer Practitioners. They have been embedded within different mental health trust teams across the borough. The team have achieved positive outcomes actively engaging people within the community, facilitating discharge after patients have been engaged with the Mental Health teams for significant periods of time, engaging with ‘hard to reach’ clients, developing additional support such as peer led walking groups from Barnet General Hospital, and development of gardening sites across the borough hospital locations (which we are also supporting via our activities and workshops offer).
Enfield
In Enfield we are Lead provider, subcontracting to Enfield Saheli, Alphacare and Enfield Voluntary Action (EVA). We have employed 10 FTE Community Engagement Practitioners and Peer Practitioners across the partnership. The staff are embedded within the South Locality Team and Personality Disorder Stream. As in Barnet, they have delivered vital enhanced support to long term clients facilitating discharge, engagement in training and employment, social activities, and engagement with carers and families to address additional support needs. The team have developed innovative ways of working and developed added support opportunities by establishing a crowd funding initiative (with match funding agreement from NHS) to help clients

Achievements and performance (continued)
access activities and groups (by covering travel and costs) and have also set up new initiatives. We also launched the Enfield Mental Health VCS Network to provide a forum for collaboration, training, development, and information sharing.
Across VCS delivery partnerships we have supported around 400 clients.
Enfield Wellbeing Network
Enfield Wellbeing Network was launched in December 2021. It is a collaboration with Enfield Voluntary Action (EVA), Enfield Carers Centre and Age UK Enfield. The service is designed to support better management of long-term conditions, improved overall Health and Wellbeing, and increased Health and Wellbeing awareness throughout the community. The service provides access to specialist Health and Wellbeing Workers who give up to 12 weeks of one-to-one support around individual Health and Wellbeing Goals. A network of buddies and befrienders work alongside clients to reach those goals through attending activities, going for walks, supporting GP appointments, and carrying out regular phone calls. The Network also promotes awareness via community events and outreach. Since the hard launch in January 2022 MiEB has supported 160 clients and attended 12 community events.
NHS Charities Together
MiEB is the coordinator of this project working with Wellbeing Connect and Enfield Saheli. The project is designed to support young people in Edmonton with Mental Health support. We provide outreach and training within schools, colleges, youth clubs, and other community locations on Mental Health Awareness and Resilience, alongside one to one support for young people aged 14-25 to help them reach their own identified goals, engage in support and services, engage in training and employment, and improve health outcomes by linking in support early on. We have established links with other youth engagement projects such as London Vanguard to improve access and joint working outcomes. To date the project has worked with 200 young people.
Mind in London Parent Support Programme
MiEB is working alongside the Brandon Centre, and two other local Mind Associations (LMA), to deliver a pan London pilot project providing support to parents whose children are aged 11-16 and who are on the waiting list for treatment with CAMHS Teams. The project will run 4 groups across each delivery area throughout the year, consisting of 8 sessions per group, which includes psycho-educational and peer support elements. The Brandon Centre is leading on psychological input and clinical guidance, and LMAs on local engagement, coordination, and delivery of specialist one-to-one support/signposting for parents who require follow up support. We have worked closely with Clinical Directors from each Integrated Care System (ICS) region to ensure that the program and engagement strategy is responsive to individual regions and needs. We mobilised from February 2022 and launched the project in April 2022.
North Middlesex Care Coordinators
We are funded, along with Mind in Haringey, by North Middlesex Hospital to provide Community Care Coordinators to work alongside the High Intensity Users (HIU) Unit within North Middlesex A&E department. The care coordinators provide support around social determinants, identify reasons for repeat presentation and work alongside community and statutory services to link up with more appropriate support offers to divert away from reliance upon A&E crisis support. The project was launched in January 2022 but, due to mobilisation delays within the HIU team, delivery commenced in April 2022.

Perinatal Community Outreach
In November 2022 we launched a pilot project working alongside the Perinatal MH team to improve rates of engagement for hard-to-reach communities, promote awareness and understanding of Perinatal Mental Health, and provide a community link into services for referrals and step down. Between November and March 2023, the service engaged with around 30 different community services and engaged with 120 women.
d. Fundraising
MiEB grew income by 23% in 2022/23 vs. 2021/22. This growth has been achieved primarily by creating new services and winning tenders supplemented by some grant income. MiEB employed fundraising consultants to develop grant applications and tenders. Expenditure in 2022/23 on fundraising consultants and staff was £30,132, which was 1.6% of income. MiEB has not signed up to any voluntary codes of conduct regarding its fundraising activities. There have been no complaints in received in regard to MiEB's fundraising activities. MiEB takes steps to safeguard donors using its existing safeguarding policies.
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The reserves policy of the organisation is to hold sufficient unrestricted and designated reserves to cover at least 3 months of operating costs. Mind in Enfield and Barnet holds 4.2 months of operating costs in unrestricted and designated reserves (versus 4.8 months in 21/22). Although the absolute level of these reserves is £26k higher than 21/22 year end, the months of operating costs covered are slightly lower due to the growth of the organisation but still in line with the reserves policy.
At the balance sheet date, MiEB held total reserves of £693,717 (2022: £662,679), of which £26,522 (2022: £32,452) were held in unrestricted funds.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
c. Financial Review of 2022/23
The Statement of Financial Activities shows the total Incoming Resources for the year to 31st March 2023 of £1,935,754 (£362,113 (23%) higher than previous year). This increase is primarily due to a full year of VCS, Parenting and Care Coordinators contracts plus new Perinatal and Wellbeing contracts. The increase was partly offset by the end of the bereavement service in Barnet in March 2022.
The total expenditure was £1,904,716 (£314,112 (20%) higher than previous year) primarily due to expenditure relating to additional contracts. The expenditure growth of 20% was lower than the income growth of 23% due to tight management of both central and project costs as part of our programme to restore MiEB to financial sustainability, plus lower costs due to reduced consultancy support for the merger, database costs, recruitment, and office repair cost.
The resulting surplus was £31,038 (£48,001 better than the previous year’s deficit of £16,963). The improvement is the result of the successful implementation of a strategic decision by trustees to develop and grow the organisation, through investing some existing reserves in prior years in a strong management team.

Plans for future periods
MiEB plans to implement the strategy outlined above in the forthcoming years, subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. After several years of deficits, in 2023/24 we ran a surplus. However, maintaining financial stability remains a key priority.
Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes 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 . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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.

so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mind in Enfield and Barnet (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure 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 and Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 concern 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 charitable company'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 charitable company'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.

MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET (CONTINUED)
Auditors' 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.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' 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. Misstatements 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 financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charity and sector, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to sector regulations and unethical and prohibited business practices, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, Charity Commission and sector regulations, and UK Tax Legislation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Appropriate audit procedures in response to these risks were carried out. These procedures included:
-
Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
-
Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Obtaining and reading correspondence from legal and regulatory bodies including HMRC;
-
Identifying and testing journal entries;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members; and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

Mind In Enfield and Barnet is a charitable company registered in England and Wales, whose objects are set out in the Trustees' Report on page 6. The registered office address is detailed on page 1.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Mind in Enfield and Barnet 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 Sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
2.2 Company status
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.
2.3 Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have considered their future plans and expected future income and it is deemed that the Charity can meet its commitments and liabilities and can continue for the foreseeable future. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.4 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 are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.7 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. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Long-term leasehold property - 20% Straight Line Office equipment - 20% Straight Line Computer equipment - 20% Straight Line
2.9 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.11 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.12 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.13 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.14 Taxation
Mind in Enfield and Barnet is exempt from corporation tax as all its income is charitable and is applied for charitable purposes.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. No estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year have been identified by the Trustees.
