NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (Including Directors, Report and Strategic Report) YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 STRATEGIC REPORT Achievements and performance We have continued to work toward our shared goal of providing the best and most appropriate mental health support to those in need. Together, we have continued to make a positive impact and ensure good mental health support for all. This has been within a challenging financial environment. as last year the NHS in Leeds announced a need to deliver 8-10 % efficiencies for the year April 2024 to March 2025 and efficiencies are being sought across all geographies. This has given us the opportunity to undertake comprehensive reviews with partners across all our services to identify improvements that positively impact frontline services, whilst achieving financial savings. This has supported our ambition to strengthen partnerships and positively influence the mental health system. In the Spring we completed the Charity Excellence Framework. for the third year, to assess every area of governance and operational management. Changes to our infrastructure and other developments that we have implemented has led to a further improvement across all areas, except for income generation, and we are performing well against sector benchmarks.

NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (Including Directors, Report and Strategic Report) YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Be a brilliant place to work This year saw the launch new human resources systems to improve our workforce reporting and to allow managers to better support their staff, these have been integrated with our payroll systems since springlsummer 2024. Led by the vision of enhancing connectivity and transforming the way we communicate with colleagues.. we launched our new SharePoint intranet the 'Hub' in March 2024. Aligning with our strategic priority of being a brilliant place to work, our Hub has streamlined the way in which staff access key information such as forms and policies, as well as providing quick links to resources such as reporting a data breach, booking annual leave, accessing IT support, submitting staff shout outs and more. Since launching, staff have submitted 45 news pieces, ranging from awareness days and events to team successes and management updates. In April, we conducted our bi-annual staff engagement survey to gain deeper insights into colleagues, workplace experiences, including key successes and areas for improvement. Overall, we had a high engagement rate of 76 % , which is up by 2 % from the 2022 survey, and received favourable responses of 820/0. We received the highest scores for collaboration, trust to carry out roles, being treated equally and with respect, a strong sense of purpose within roles, and consistently delivering high quality services. Colleagues also shared valuable feedback about what they appreciate most about working within the organisation. Highlights included professional and dedicated team members, a strong commitment to excellent service for clients, a supportive and inclusive environment, and alignment with our core values. This survey was also a great opportunity to identify areas we can improve on. We understand that more work is needed to improve progression and development opportunities and are exploring ways to address this over the next year. To support our goal of being a brilliant place to work, we have focused on fostering a workforce that embodies our values, and is supported to grow, succeed, and is empowered to drive positive change. With this in mind, we launched a staff wellbeing group, inviting colleagues from across the organisation to join and joined the Leeds Mlndful Employer Network. Colleagues who are passionate about workplace wellbeing joined the group, committing to the role of wellbeing champions. In this role, our wellbeing champions served as a direct link to the wellbeing group, offering a platform for colleagues to share their experiences and suggestions related to workplace wellbeing. The group developed a wellbeing survey to identify organisational strengths, and areas for improvement. Insights from the suNey, along with feedback gathered during 'tea and talk, events, highlighted key challenges and priorities for enhancing staff wellbeing. This feedback shaped our draft staff mental health and wellbeing action plan, which provides a clear path forward, ensuring we continue to build a supportive workplace where staff thrive, and feel valued. Managers have been participating in a coaching programme, delivered by a Coaching Psychologist, to enable them to build their capabilities to support their teams and develop a more consistent approach across the organisation. Be fit for the future There has been a focus across most of our existing contracts in this period to secure contract extensions, or new contractual arrangements under the Provider Selection Regime, as many contract periods were reaching their end. Most contracts have now been secured for the medium term, which will enable us to focus on improvement work across these services over the next period, and opportunities for growth.

Neurodevelopmental referral processing times have been reduced from 8 days to 3, while inappropriate mental health referrals have dropped by 73 %, ensuring CYPF receive the right support at the right time. In addition, 700/0 of neurodevelopmental referral packs are now sent within one day, compared to previous waits of up to 40 days. Despite the growing volume and complexity of cases, we have provided timely in-person and digital support to those referred to the service, In December 2022, 53 mental health referrals were processed in weeks, increasing to 100 by December 2024.

EMHPS deliver evidence-based emotional health interventions in education settings, as well as providing training and support for education staff to develop their whole- setting approach to emotional health and inclusion. We have established referral pathways with partner agencies, allowing schools to link students to specialist services such as the Noah's Ark Therapeutic Intervention in Schools programme. The team currently includes 12 EMHPS, along with clinicians, supervisors, senior EMHPS, senior clinical staff, administrators, and managers. Two qualified EMHPS have advanced within the service to become senior EMHPS, providing opportunities for further training and career growth. Four new trainees will be recruited to start in 2025, with plans to expand the team further by adding more management and clinical positions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW The charity was able to produce a surplus of £814,353 in the year, through the prudent management of resources, and the development of new services and income streams to replace expiring funding streams, In the current year management have continued to perform an exercise to review and reconcile unused paid in advance balances. This year's surplus includes the release of £746,171 from unused historic funds. There has also been a significant reduction in Deferred Income Creditors due to the drawdown of £2,639,134 of funds helcl on behalf on the LMWS consortium. Principal funding sources The charity's principal funding source during the period was income from commissioned services. The Trustees wish to express their gratitude to those individuals and bodies who contributed to extending Northpoint's services During the year, contract funding was received from Leeds and Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Groups now part of the NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board, Leeds City Council, Calderdale Council and several Leeds school "clusters" We also accept donations from private individuals when offered. Reserves and Investments policy Northpoint's policy on the required level of reserves is agreed annually by the Board, as an integral part of the organisation's planning, budget and forecast cycle. The Trustees, policy takes into account.. Planned activity levels and risks associated with each stream of income and expenditure Organisational overhead commitments Organisational liquidity requirements Resources necessary to finance or develop new service opportunities The charity maintains reserves such that there are sufficient finances available to support the organisation's basic infrastructure in the event of an unforeseen cessation or significant decline in its funding. The level of 14

NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (Including Directors, Report and Strategic Report) YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 reserves held is such that it would allow sufficient time for the charity to find alternative sources of funding for the activities affected, or to wind up those activities in an appropriate timescale making all necessary redundancy and termination payments. At 30 September 2024, the charity holds £3,318,565 in reserves, which is approximately 3.1 months of budgeted expenditure for the coming year. The charity's reserves are intended to be used in the event a sudden cessation of contract income, or similar, results in a major shortfall of funds, or for funding new service developments. As such, these funds are not suitable for long-term investment, and the Board of Trustees holds them as cash deposits. The Trustees are mindful of both our ability and social responsibility to invest any free cash balances in suitable short or medium-term investments, the return from which will support our charitable aim of preserving and protecting good health. At the same time, the Trustees aspire to use the cash balances to ensure the growing organisation's infrastructure is adequately supported and gaps in seNice provision are addressed where feasible. The Trustees, in conjunction with the Investment Sub-committee, work with an independent investment advisor to ensure investment providers deliver the best return on their deposits while maintaining a suitable degree of access to the funds. Invested amounts are limited to only free cash balances and performance reports from providers are monitored by the Investment Sub-committee. Plans for the future In the coming year, Northpoint plans to continue its activities, and to seek opportunities to play a part in the improvement of community mental health services for adults and children in our current areas of operation. The financial landscape continues to provide challenge, with pressures on public sector spending affecting potential income, combined with the ongoing cost of living crisis and the employers, National Insurance rise. We are confident in our plans to strengthen our existing partnerships, within the local mental health system and with digital innovators, to provide greater opportunities to grow our existin9 setvices and bid for relevant service delivery contracts in the wider Yorkshire region. There will be a focus on measuring impact and delivering improvements across selvices, to provide the best experience of mental health services, and demonstrate our quality and value as a provider to enable longer term contracting, Having reached the halfway point in our 2023-26 strategy we will follow our revised work plan, whilst planning key milestones for 2025 to explore our opportunities to innovate and set our next strategic objectives. We will undertake a further benchmarking exercise in Spring 2025 with the Charity Excellence Framework to monitor progress and the impact of our organisational strategy Northpoint will remain committed to providing high quality interventions for all ourclients, supported by strong clinical practice, good training and supervision of staff, and robust management structures, to fulfil our charitable objects and strategic aims.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Northpoint Wellbeing Limited (the 'charitable company'l for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities {Incorporating Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, 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 Financia5 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 30 September 2024, 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. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) IISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's 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 UK, including the FRC'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 relatlng 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 ￿e1ve months from when the original financial statements were 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. It is not possible to predict with certainty the potential impact of future developments in both Ihe charitable company's trading environment or in the broader economy. Because of this, the above statements should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the charitable company will continue to operate as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Other information The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees, Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustees, Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent othemise 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 orour 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. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companles Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Trustees, Annual Report {incorporating the Strategic Report and the Directors, Report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the Strategic Report and the Directors, Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors, Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us,, or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or certain disclosures of directors, remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit, Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities set out on page 11, the Trustees (who are also the Directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl 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. 20

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 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 auditor's 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 be50w. Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud The objectives of our audit, in respect of fraud, are.. to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial ststements due to fraud,. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses,. and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and its management. Our approach was as follows.. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general sector experience, and through discussion with the management las required by auditing standards), and discussed with management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations., We considered the legal and regulatory frameworks directly applicable to the financial stalements reporting framework (FRS 102, Charities SORP 2019, Accounts Direction 2022 to 2023, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006), the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK, health and safety and employment law, We considered the nature of the sector, the control environment and operational performance., We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throug hout the audit., We considered the procedures and controls that the company has established to address risks identified, or that otherwise prevent, deter and detect fraud,. and how senior management monitors those programmes. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations, Vwhere the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified risk. These procedures included.. testing manual journals., reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation., performing analytical procedures,. and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from material fraud or error. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect all non-compliance with laws and regulations. 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.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 21

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. (b) Golng concern The Trustees assess whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate and whether there are any material uncertainties or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The accounts have been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern. (c) Funds Unrestricted funds 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.

(d) Income recognition All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the incorne will be received. For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 26

NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 {d) Income recognition Icontinued) Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and seNices. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure. Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at fair value. They are not deferred over the life of the asset. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service when.. the stage of the completion, the costs incurred in delivering the service and the costs to complete the requirements of the contract can all be measured reliably. Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established. (e} Expenditure recognition All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs incurred on the provision of services to the charitable company's beneficiaries Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. (fl Support costs allocatlon Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated entirely to Adult services, as the Young People's services are remote and mobile based, and other overheads have been allocated to each category of charitable expenditure on the basis of staff utilisation. The analysis of these costs is included in note 4. (g) Tanglble flxed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows-.

NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 (h) Investments Fixed asset investments represent investments in subsidiaries and are measured at cost less impairment. Current asset investments represent cash equivalents invested in managed funds These amounts are held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due. Current asset investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. (i) Impairment Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. ti) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount Can be reliably estimated. (k) Debtors and creditors receivable I payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. (l) 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 the deposit or similar account. Iml Leases Rentals payable and receivable under operating Seases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. (nl Financlal Instruments The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instrtjments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. (o) Employee benefits When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. {p) Tax The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 28

NORTHPOINT WELLBEING LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 (q) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include: Measurement of contract income Certain contracts for the supply of seNices cover a period spanning the financial reporting date. Income recognition is reviewed on a contract-by-contract basis and an estimate ofthe value of services provided as a proportion of the total contract value is made at each reporting date. Where income is received in advance of entitlement, the income is deferred. The carrying value of deferred income is detailed in note 14. Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re- assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. The carrying value of tangible fixed assets is detailed in note 10 and the useful economic life of each category of fixed asset is set out in the accounting policies, under Tangible fixed assets above.
