CO-CHAIRS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Mind in Enfield and Barnet had a busy and productive year of consolidation following a period of rapid growth post-pandemic. A summary of our varied services is presented later in this report.

We must therefore take this opportunity to acknowledge the continued dedication of our highly skilled workforce and wonderful volunteers across both boroughs who have ensured the successful delivery of a wider range of services to a larger number of beneficiaries than previously achieved.

In 2023 our long-serving co-chair, Rob Hayter, signalled his intention to step away from his trustee role in 2024 and we acknowledge the immense contribution Rob made over his tenure, first at Mind in Barnet and latterly at Mind in Enfield and Barnet. He helped lead the charity through the complex merger process and subsequently through the initial, crucial 3 years of the newly formed organisation. This year we also bade a very fond farewell to Alison Islin, another Barnet trustee who remained to serve on the merged Board. Alison brought a wealth of skills and knowledge of the local mental health landscape to her role as a trustee and her passionate support will be greatly missed.

We were delighted to recruit Naomi Phillips as co-chair of the Board and welcomed her to the role in April 2024. Naomi brings a fresh perspective and has a valuable background of relevant roles in the charity and not for profit sectors

Finally, we thank our committed senior leadership team, led by CEO Alex Tambourides, of Paul King, Emma Saunders, Ellie Crawford and Maria Emmanuel for continuing to ensure quality services are delivered to those with mental health needs in our communities against the backdrop of funding uncertainty, recruitment challenges and rising demand.

Jayne Pearce and Naomi Phillips Co-Chairs of the Trustees

CEO REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Amidst an external environment of flux, complexity and increased demand we have not stood still. Guided by our core values of real change, empowerment, integrity, compassion, and equity. Our mission to promote good mental health and address the needs of those with mental health problems, primarily in the London Boroughs of Enfield and Barnet, has seen significant progress, via both influence and delivery.

Values and Objectives

Our work is driven by a commitment to real change in the mental health sector. We aim to empower individuals, uphold integrity in all our actions, show compassion to those we serve, and ensure equity in access to mental health services. These values are the foundation of our objectives, which include promoting good mental health, providing support to those in need, and advocating for systemic changes in mental health care.

Reach and Impact

23/24 year saw very clear evidence of a demand and acuity crisis that has put an increased strain on service provision for statutory and voluntary sector providers in mental health. The drivers for this route back to systemic underfunding in health and social care, long term impact of COVID and the cost-of-living crisis. For the first time the number of people we have engaged with has exceeded targets and I’m proud to say that we have supported over 6,000 people. It's important to remember that our reach has increased by over 400% since 2019, and I want to thank all our staff, trustees and volunteers for making this happen.

However, we have seen time spent per client increase hugely (a clear indicator of an increase in acuity) and have also had to battle to reduce waiting times. We are constantly adjusting our service models to ensure that we can be as responsive as ever but going forwards we will need to secure additional investment to increase capacity and aid innovation.

Client feedback and monitoring and evaluation show clear evidence of the impact we are making and why we need to fight to increase our, and the voluntary and community sector’s (VCS), role in Mental health provision. One clear example of this is our NHS talking therapies provision, (formerly known as IAPT), which sees significantly higher levels of access from the BAME community than statutory equivalents. Choice is important.

I nfluence and Collaboration

We achieve our mission through both service delivery and influence, and 23/24 has also seen our influence increase. We have set up, and now lead the North Central London (NCL) VCS Mental Health network and this group of key VCS Mental Health (MH) providers has now established a working relationship with the Integrated Care Board (ICB). This is in addition to, and because of, our position as MH lead within the NCL VCS alliance. I attend several NCL wide decision making and governance spaces and continue to operate as the Local Mind NCL lead. Locally we occupy key roles chairing and co-chairing each borough’s Mental Health Partnership boards/forums.

In Barnet we led on and put in place a Barnet Charter for mental health and are now working with partners to ensure that the sentiment is implemented.

We have also increased our influence and collaboration within the Mind federation, something that led to us gaining a commendation from Mind for contribution to the federation. In 2024 onwards we’ll continue to put forwards the views and needs of local Mind organisations within the federation via the Vice Chair role of Mind in London and through being elected to represent London at the Mind Federation Leadership Group (of which we are now also Vice Chair).

Finally, I am proud to say that we have successfully launched Enfield LX, a lived experience platform that will see the voice of lived experience lead to real change in Enfield.

CEO REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Looking ahead

Sadly, we will no longer be providing our Integrated VCS services as we were not able to secure these contracts via a recent tendering process. Thanks to careful financial management and our continual ability to grow and innovate, we can weather this challenge but will still have to take steps to reduce the risk levels carried in our future budgeting processes. Whilst we will be sorry to lose some incredible staff, we will continue to work closely with North London Mental Health Partnership whilst pursuing our new strategy which includes a more prominent focus on systems change, independence and innovation. We have achieved against every objective of our previous strategy, but times have changed and so through a ground up process it has been reviewed and refreshed and our strategic objectives are:

Sustainability – We will build a diverse and stable income stream, that increases central capacity to provide a long-term foundation from which our staff and services can thrive. We will create a collaborative and compassionate workplace culture, and structure, to mean that staff are empowered and supported to progress, learn and develop as the organisation does the same. We recognise that staff wellbeing is central to our ability to deliver sustainable services that change lives and so we will do whatever is within our means to promote and maintain it.

Community Engagement – We will engage with the community in all its diversity to learn, to collaborate and to understand local people’s mental health needs. We will build capacity and partner with local organisations and faith groups where our strengths, needs and goals match. We are led by lived experience and will ensure that the voice of people with mental health problems is at the core of design, delivery and decision making. Services That Change Lives - We will design services with people with lived experience based on the analysis of need and research. We will fearlessly measure the impact and efficacy of our services and learn as much from our failings as our successes. We will ensure our services are simple to access and clear in their aim and are person centred. We will continually strive to reach the highest standards of safety and quality, and make sure our processes keep this on track whatever the demands of the day

Systems Change - We do not accept that ‘business as usual’ is good enough. We demand better for mental health and will achieve this by leading change, rather than simply mirroring the trends of the day. We will base our actions on evidence of need and analysis, and we will lead the way via innovation rather than accept a bad deal for mental health. We will strive to maintain our independence in the way we think and act, and will collaborate with others to fight structural, service or cultural norms that go against better mental health.

Our Values

We are led by lived experience and live by 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.

MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET

CEO REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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 continue to embed our Values across the organisation and have developed and rolled out a Values and Behaviours framework to support this. The framework defines the behaviours that our staff and volunteers must demonstrate and is a statement of what we are, what our service users and clients expect from us and what we expect from each other.

We are committed to engaging with staff and to providing opportunities for them to share their views and experiences and to make sure our communication is effective. This year, we have introduced Stay Interviews which are an effective way to increase employee engagement and to identify any areas of best practice, what is working well for our staff and to hear from our staff about any potential areas they feel we could improve. We are also introducing Pulse surveys which are short employee engagement surveys to seek views from staff on areas such as employee engagement, development opportunities, well-being and work life balance. We also continue to hold weekly staff meetings giving all staff protected time to attend.

This year we have successfully recruited staff into all our vacancies and have welcomed new staff who bring a broad range of skills and experience. Our retention rates continue to improve, reflecting our commitment to creating a supportive workplace, where staff are engaged and working within rewarding roles.

Employee well-being continues to be a high priority, with our Employee Assistance Programme in place to support this. In addition, our staff and volunteers undertake regular clinical and managerial supervision, and we offer flexibility to ensure everyone maintain a healthy work-life balance.

d. Principle risks and uncertainties

Achievements and performance

a. Therapy

Community Talking Therapies Enfield/Barnet (formerly IAPT )

The counselling service provides Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Step 3 High Intensity counselling to people aged 16 and above, registered with a GP in the London Borough of Enfield/Barnet and experiencing common mental health problems such as mild to moderate depression and anxiety. This year we focused on rebranding the service in line with IAPT and NHS England and we are now known as Community Talking Therapies. The service is commissioned by North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) to offer free, evidence based, individual counselling (8 sessions) and contributes to monthly local and national targets for NHS England. The service has been successfully re-accredited for 5 years by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abides by their high standards whilst following the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. We are proud to continue offering counselling in a blended way; where the client can choose if they wish to engage in therapy face to face, online via video or telephone.

Our aim across both services is to offer high-quality evidence-based counselling that is accessible, free of charge and contributes to improving access to 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 (PCE-CFD). There has been an increase in the uptake of IAPT modality training, allowing the service to retain more qualified counsellors.

Enfield

The service is open 5 days a week and is supported by a Clinical Lead, a service co-ordinator, 3 administrators, a Lead Assessor, 7 self-employed assessors, 24 volunteer counsellors and 5 self-employed supervisors. We have good workforce retention with successful recruitment processes to fill all posts.

In the last year we exceeded on the access targets (number of clients accessing our service) and consistently met recovery targets (reduction of depression and anxiety levels after therapy). As the Lead provider for Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) IAPT in Enfield we supported 674 clients, out of which 498 were seen by MiEB, and 176 by our partners Alpha Care, Enfield Saheli, and Nafsiyat. The partnership has been focusing on expansion plans, including making provisions for an Employment Assistance Programme to support clients alongside therapy.

Client demographics:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

Client feedback:

“I came to counselling not with the expectation of having all my problems solved, but have come away with more of an understanding of my anxiety and my mood has lifted and I feel lighter in myself. I thank Mind and my counsellor for helping me to get to this point”.

“I think therapy has helped a lot with everything going on in my head. I never felt more better than I did so I couldn't thank you all enough for all you support. This time 8 weeks ago I would have never leave the house or anything now I'm working and going out so proud of myself things are finally start to go well”.

Barnet

The service is open 3 days a week and is supported by a Clinical Lead, a service co-ordinator, 1 administrator, a Lead assessor, 3 self-employed assessors, 9 volunteer counsellors and 2 self-employed supervisors.

In the last year we exceeded the service access target and supported 322 clients as well as consistently met recovery targets of 50%. The service has received an influx of referrals over the last year (256%) and an overall increase in acuity. As a result, the service has been under a lot of pressure as demand outweighs our monthly capacity and this has had a direct impact on waiting times for an assessment and then from assessment to 1st session. We are now considering closing the referral pathway for a short period to safely and effectively process the additional 153 referrals that have built up beyond our commissioned quota.

Client demographics:

Client feedback:

“I am extremely grateful for the care, guidance and advice I was given. When I arrived for the first appointment I was in an emotional state. The therapist I had was compassionate, understanding and supportive and as I leave my final appointment I feel she has given me the tools to get back to a balanced emotional state. Thank you”.

DOVE service Enfield and Barnet

DOVE is a self-funded service offering private open-ended counselling delivered by experienced qualified counsellors. The service is supported by a Therapy Service Manager and two administrators and has since grown to have 7 self-employed counsellors, and 2 self-employed supervisors providing service delivery. The service has gone through a lot of changes in this year from new management and administration to the closure of DOVE Community service. We took the difficult decision to discontinue the Dove Community service from April 24, as the service, which was previously funded by a legacy, was no longer financially viable. It has been an incredible opportunity to provide this service to clients experiencing complex mental health needs and it is our goal to restore this service through identifying new funding pathways. Over 2 years, the service has supported 63 clients.

As DOVE community slowly tapered off some of the counsellors have chosen to stay on as DOVE private counsellors and some have moved onto Community Talking Therapies as volunteer counsellors. Dove private has received 74 referrals in the last year, 11 of which have been in therapy for more than 1 year. We have also introduced new marketing aspects for capturing interest and engagement and making the service more financially sustainable, this includes a re-brand of the service, introducing new online feedback forms and a considering a summer special discount on all assessments.

Client Feedback:

“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

Page 10

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. “

“Thank you for all your help and your warm and friendly welcome when I have visited. It’s a vital part of the overall service and the starting point for making people feel relaxed and welcome before they start their session. It puts people at ease and is so important. Please thank your colleagues and keep up the great work! “

Woodhouse College Counselling Service and Clinical Supervision

This year marked the third year of the MIEB Woodhouse College Counselling service. The service welcomed two experienced new counsellors, who have greatly contributed to the efficient running of the service. The 3rd counsellor has taken on the role of Service Coordinator in September 2023 and then as Service Manager beginning in January 2024. Despite these significant changes, the service has remained robust and continued to run smoothly and efficiently. The working relationship between the Safeguarding Team and the counsellors has been very strong, with consistent communication maintained through fortnightly triage meetings. These meetings support updates on students’ progress, needs, and any safeguarding concerns. The service offers short term counselling to students experiencing common mental health issues who have been referred for counselling via the Safeguarding team. The service received 77 referrals and alongside weekly therapy sessions has offered 130 drop-in sessions. This year, we also introduced a counselling service feedback form for students, initially on paper and later online via a SurveyMonkey link. This ensures confidentiality and anonymity while allowing us to process and monitor responses for service improvement.

Other activities offered outside of weekly therapy sessions:

Over the last year, we have continued supporting staff working at the college with individual clinical supervision. This provision is supported by a supervisor, who offers supervision on site monthly to staff. Feedback from staff and the college indicate the sessions are fully utilised by staff for case discussions, practice reflection, professional development, wellbeing and self-care.

Social and Emotional Support to Recover from the Pandemic – Enfield

After closing the service due to the allocated funding coming to an end, the project secured an additional 6 months within the partnership with Citizen’s Advice Enfield to continue delivery to Enfield residents impacted practically and emotionally by the Covid-19 pandemic. Citizens Advice Enfield provided residents with specialist advice, and we offered emotional support and counselling (up to 12 sessions) for anyone emotionally impacted by the pandemic and presented the following issues: bereavement, relationship and family issues, problems at work, and Long Covid. The counselling service was supported by a service coordinator, an administrator, 5

Page 11

MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

volunteer counsellors, 1 supervisor and offered sessions in person, online and on the phone. We received 45 referrals, and 30 clients received counselling.

Supported Self Help (SSH) Enfield and Barnet

Supported self-help is a National Mind initiative in partnership with local Minds. The service is a 6-week guided programme offering free one-to-one self-help support with a trained practitioner. It incorporates some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) style tools but also provides other kinds of support. Although this is not a counselling service practitioners use counselling-based skills in their support.

The programme is suited to clients with low level mental health needs. Supported self-help is a service for anyone who feels their emotions are getting on top of them. If a client contacts us with higher intervention needs or more complex challenges, we can assist in signposting the client to a more appropriate service.

The resources provided to clients include psychoeducational element along with useful strategies and worksheets containing exercises to help with their mental health challenge(s). Clients are offered a range of materials to understand and manage their feelings and are offered space to reflect on the work they have done in the weekly sessions. Materials such as a thought diary, mindfulness techniques, building positive relationships guide, can help clients learn about their own processes. Resources cover these main areas within the programme: Anxiety and panic attacks, Coping with grief and loss, Loneliness and feeling lonely, Low selfesteem, Low mood and depression, Managing anger, Managing stress, Understanding menopause.

Our local service is provided by a manager and 2 part-time practitioners support to both local clients and across the UK. Since the service started in November we have supported 68 clients.

Our learning outcomes are to try and reach more clients in the Barnet and Enfield area through advertising and liaising with local GPs and to reach the assessment targets. The service has proved to be invaluable to clients with continued positive feedback and there is a real sense of clients leaving the programme feeling empowered and better equipped to help themselves when it comes to their mental health.

Working on a national level is also rewarding as the team gets to work with a diverse client-base across the whole of England and delivers tools to help with, and prevent, future mental health challenges. One of the biggest advantages of SSH programme is its accessibility. This makes us very efficient and benefits our clients because we can reach them within a few days after the self-referral.

Client feedback:

“Potentially life-changing, it has helped my marital relationship and brought me closer to my children. I thought life was a struggle and I was beginning to believe I would never be the father I wanted to be. The programme has begun a journey of self-help that I won’t be stopping.”

“Thank you for your time and resources during our five sessions together. The insights you shared and the materials you provided have been invaluable in my journey towards better mental health.”

“I truly appreciate the existence of this program and the fact that it is freely accessible to everyone.”

Talking Therapies for Autistic Adults in Barnet

Talking Therapy for Autistic Adults in Barnet (TTAAB) is a new partnership between Barnet Mencap, Mind in Enfield and Barnet and Resources for Autism aiming to support Autistic Adults living in Barnet. The project is funded by Learning Disabilities and Physical and Sensory Impairment Joint Commissioning Team and NHS North Central London Integrated Care Body. This service was developed out of a need for autistic adults to have access to a specialised talking therapy that recognises, understands and welcomes neurodiversity while offering

Page 12

MIND IN ENFIELD AND BARNET (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

support for mental health.

We offer free talking therapy for autistic adults struggling with their mental health providing up to 16 face to face or online free talking therapy sessions. The sessions are offered at two locations in Barnet. We have 2 experienced therapists seeing 17 clients a week. Reasonable adjustments are a key element of the service as we want to make our therapy service as accessible as possible to autistic adults. We discuss any reasonable adjustments of our service at referral stage, at the start and during the therapy.

The service was mobilized in September 2023 and up to March 2024:

Demographics

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 23/24 the Advocate supported over 260 clients with over 700 advocacy issues. They also attended over 160 community meetings, patient forums, and carers forums to provide group advocacy support.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) Advocacy

The Beacon centre is a 20-bed adolescent inpatient facility at Edgware Community Hospital. The advocacy service established one to one and group provision in 2021. We have continued to deliver face-to-face in the Beacon Centre throughout changes of contract and ward management, establishing delivery in line with CQC recommendations and partnership working with PALS to ensure access to appropriate representation. The advocate worked closely with young people to ensure that the patients forum remained 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 ensuring that young people have access to appropriate support at ward rounds, care plans, and discharge planning. The service has provided one to one advocacy support to 60 young people on 157 issues. The service is currently being re-procured and we are awaiting the outcome.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

Rehabilitation Advocacy

Advocacy support was established in Somerset Villa, a high dependency rehabilitation ward at Chase Farm Hospital, in 2018 as short-term support to support transition care plan management. We provided advocacy support around care planning, discharge, placement reviews, benefits, and community engagement. We have delivered 150 client interventions, with around 210 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 to clients on over 180 different advocacy issues during the period, 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. These contracts were not renewed from July 2024 as they were intended as short-term contracts focused on transition support.

Community Advocacy

We continue to deliver community advocacy under the Enfield Advocacy Service. This partnership was formerly by Enfield Disability Action (EDA) as lead provider and, since EDA’s closure has been funded directly by London Borough of Enfield. We provide generic advocacy, and specialist housing and benefit support services. We have continued the open access established during lockdown (self-referral rather than via GP) to ensure that new clients can receive advocacy support in a timely manner. This has been especially important, as demand for support with benefits and housing has increased considerably (along with high demand on other advice and benefit support services). Enfield Disability Action experienced operational challenges during this period, and sadly closed in November 2023, which meant that the partnership had increased referrals in from other areas.

During this period the team worked with 130 clients, supporting with over 354 advocacy issues as nearly all clients presented with several, complex issues.

Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Advocacy

MiEB have subcontracted a specialist provider (Precious Moments) 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 have co-designed and delivered self and group advocacy workshops. 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. During this period they have supported 68 clients with over 200 advocacy issues.

c. Wellbeing

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 for immediate support and crisis deescalation; 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 Crisis Team & Helpline, Locality MH teams, GP’s, 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 750 clients, as well as groups such as crafts, Men in Mind, and peer support.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

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 operates weekdays and weekends offering a range of structured support: booked, drop in, group support and social activities. The helpline is 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 460 clients.

Graham Park Community Wellbeing support

Following community consultation and collaborative work with Colindale Communities Trust, Meridian Wellbeing and other key partners we launched a pilot project within Graham Park Estate in Barnet. The service ran 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 January 2023 and ran as a pilot for one year. It was successful in engaging clients one-to-one, and established community events to promote conversations around Mental Health, including Poetry and Jazz nights, art workshops, and drop in. During 202324 the project supported 65 clients. Unfortunately, funding was not renewed for 24-25.

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. The programme includes recovery and personal development courses such as MBSR workshops, self-esteem, anger management, chair-based yoga, and craft-based activities such as 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 worked to establish courses and workshops as part of a core offer for step down from internal services, as well as NHS teams. We have established links within all locality teams, as well as inpatient and residential facilities, and VCS community organisations. We have provided support to 260 clients.

During this period funding from Depression Alliance was also used to establish ‘Moving on’ peer support groups which have provided a structured space for clients to reflect on learning, consider next steps, and established supportive relationships to enable this. This has proved very effective and has demonstrated impact on people going on to engage in mainstream courses, volunteering, and work.

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

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

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. We have been working with the local authority to identify and cost up essential work to the space to enable enhanced use and activity from this location.

Links have been established with Recovery colleges across NCL to review offer, and develop joint courses, working agreements, and funding bids.

Social Groups

The social group continued to provide a regular space for people to share, engage in activities, and meet on a weekly basis. Over the course of this year, they were co-delivered by a volunteer. Unfortunately, we were unable to continue these from March 2024 due to lack of funding.

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, Alpha Care 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 new support opportunities by establishing a crowd funding initiative (and match funding agreement from NHS) to help clients access activities and groups (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 Enfield and Barnet, the IVCS projects have supported over 1,500 clients.

Having established a successful model for these projects, we were disappointed to lose these projects to another provider due to a re-tendering process. We are working to ensure a smooth transition for staff and clients at the end of September 2024.

Achievements and performance (continued)

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.

During this period MiEB has provided one to one support to 95 clients, and engaged in 9 workshops/ events reaching over 750 people.

NHS Charities Together

MiEB was 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 provided 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 established links with other youth engagement projects such as London Vanguard to improve access and joint working outcomes. The project provided support to 120 clients, and established new workshops that have been continued by trained volunteers. The funding for this project ended in January 2024.

Mind in London Parent Support Programme

The parenting project was initially launched across London in 2022. Since April 2023, MiEB has continued to work in collaboration with the Brandon Centre to deliver the project across North Central London. The project provides support to parents whose children are aged 11-16 and who are on the waiting list for treatment with CAMHS Teams. The workshops 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.

During this period delivery has focused on NCL. It has supported 50 parents.

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.

During this period the project supported over 60 clients.

Perinatal Community Outreach

In November 2022 we launched a pilot project working alongside the Perinatal Mental Health 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. The service was very successful, and engaged with over 46 community groups and 300 women. Funding was ceased in November 2023 but we anticipate restarting the project shortly.

Outcomes and Feedback

Over the last year MiEB has supported 6033 clients, exceeding the expected target of 4027 clients identified at the beginning of this financial year. Data collected across all services highlight the impact we are making in the community across both boroughs.

Client Feedback

In September 2023 we introduced an online feedback form via the Survey Monkey platform to effectively report on service satisfaction across all services and critically reflect on service growth and areas of improvement. As with every new provision, it will take time for services to fully incorporate use of the online feedback within their existing processes. Since the launch of the online feedback platform:

Total feedback collected (Service feedback forms and Survey Monkey)

Some examples of positive outcomes:

" Everyone was really helpful and I felt like I was listened to…I feel a weight has been lifted, as I don't feel alone ."

"I found it very helpful with regard to my anxiety and stress management. It gave me new tools to handle my anxiety better…and a better understanding of how my anxiety works. It also gave me some tips to improve my well-being overall and my sleep. It was well worth my time and I'm glad I went through with it."

"This service was everything I wanted and more. I got exactly what I needed and couldn't recommend it more highly."

Themes: friendly staff, personalised staff feedback, respectful staff, positive experience, mental health improvement

Areas of improvement:

"Sessions were very helpful. I felt heard and seen. The only downside was that it was only 8 sessions but I knew that before I started so theres no issue with that."

"Sessions could be longer and waiting times for referral should be shorter."

Themes: waiting times, length of intervention offered

Clinical measures: All therapy services use clinical measures to report on wellbeing improvement and effectiveness of the intervention offered. This is done by PHQ, GAD and Core-10 scales at each contact or at the beginning, middle and end of therapy. Wellbeing Services use similar scales or, where more appropriate, collect qualitative feedback at the end of the intervention.

Results : Data collected via quantitative and qualitative feedback indicate high levels of client satisfaction. Our process for collecting feedback is still at an early stage, but the first pool of data demonstrates that the services we offer are preventative, making a difference to people’s lives and aligned with our values.

Achievements and performance (continued)

d. Fundraising

MiEB grew income by 13% in 2023/24 vs. 2022/23. 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 2023/24 on fundraising consultants and staff was £25,398 which was 1.2% of income. MiEB has not signed up to any voluntary codes of conduct regarding its fundraising activities. There have been no complaints 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. The Trustees’ review of resources has taken into account the income impact relating to the VCS projects explained below.

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. We currently hold reserves with a tolerance above this threshold. The reserves are monitored on an ongoing basis by our Finance & Human Resources Committee and there is a procedure in place to define corrective actions should reserves dip below the policy threshold.

Since the year end, there has been a significant change in the financial situation of the organisation in that we lost £792k of annual income because of the re-tendering the VCS projects. In 24/25 there will only be a part year impact relating to this of £370k reduced income and through other successful business development, cost savings and some one-off gains, we anticipate that we should still be able to run a small surplus on unrestricted funds. Managing the full year impact in 25/26 will be more challenging and we are currently working on this. However, we are confident that through a combination of further business development and cost savings, our reserves will remain well above the policy level.

c. Financial Review of 2023/24

The Statement of Financial Activities shows the total Incoming Resources for the year to 31st March 2024 of £2,190k (£254k (13%) higher than previous year). This increase is primarily due to increased funding of VCS and Sanctuary projects and new Autism and Supported Self-Help projects partly offset by reduced funding for our CAMHS waiting list parenting project.

The total expenditure was £2,205k (£300k (16%) higher than previous year) primarily due to expenditure relating to additional contracts. The expenditure growth of 16% was higher than the income growth of 13% due to a couple of non-recurrent costs.

The resulting deficit was £(15)k – however, without the non-recurrent costs mentioned above, the organisation would have run a small surplus.

Structure, governance and management

a. Structure

Mind in Enfield and Barnet is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in the UK and registered as a charity. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

b. Governance

The composition of the Board of Trustees reflects the user involvement ethos and devolved structure, which underpins the work of MiEB. New trustees are chosen by advertisement and through recommendations to provide a balanced Board with the required skills. Trustees can only serve a limited term as specified by the memorandum and articles. They are given an induction pack and are encouraged to meet senior managers and attend meetings. They receive internal and external training to support them to discharge their duties.

MiEB elects Trustees to serve as Chair and Treasurer. The Board also has the power to co-opt other members. The Board meets in full session on at least four occasions during the year. All the Trustees are members of the company and none of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company.

The Board is responsible for safeguarding the assets of MiEB, including taking all reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities, and to provide reasonable assurance that:

MiEB’s systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss, and include:

c. Management

MiEB is managed by a Chief Executive Officer, supported by a senior leadership team consisting of Head of Services, Head of Therapy Services, Head of Finance and Head of HR. The leadership team meets weekly and staff meetings are held fortnightly. Managers have regular meetings with all their staff. Employees are consulted on issues of concern to them by means of questionnaires, consultations, and regular staff meetings.

MiEB has detailed policies in relation to all aspects of personnel matters, including an equal opportunities policy, health and safety policies, and grievance and complaints procedures. MiEB has well established fair employment practices for the recruitment, selection, retention and training of staff in accordance with its equal opportunities policy.

MiEB is grateful for the dedication and commitment of Trustees who combine to provide strategic direction, and to staff and volunteers who deliver our counselling, advocacy and community projects.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Plans for future periods

MiEB plans to implement the strategy outlined above in the forthcoming years, subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. Although our reserve position is strong, we continue to run a deficit. While it is manageable in the short term, addressing this will be our 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:

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.

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' Report is approved has confirmed that:

Auditors

The auditors, Goodman Jones LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated Trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a meeting of the Trustees.

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 2024 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:

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:

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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.

2.14 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.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The 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 are discussed below.

Income Recognition

The Charity receives income that may require certain milestones or performance conditions to be met, or certain levels of services to be be provided, in order for the Charity to have entitlement to the funds. The Charity makes various assumptions in determining the stage of completion and therefore entitlement to income.
