## **Trustees’ annual report**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2021**
## **1. Introduction**
This report sees this organisation celebrating 34 years of service to the citizens of Sheffield
Covid-19 and the murder of George Floyd have had terrible consequences for our community, perversely however. These two remarkable occurrences have aided SACMHA in our development
## **2. Staffing**
The Tudor Trust continues to fund 2 posts supporting the work of SACMHA Health & Social Care.
The Service Director’s Post which David Bussue took up in 2019 the Mental Health Community Support Workers role which Corinne Moss took up from April 2020.
In addition, a further investment of £15,000 was made to us to enable us to commence our Social Café. The pandemic meant that after 3 stalled attempts we were able to open the Social Cafe on 5[th] August 2021
Like other grantee organisations, we also received a Well-being Grant of £2000
We also participated in a Focus Group with other grantees for which a payment of £250.00 was made
Since the last reporting period the following staff have moved on from SACMHA:
Jasmine Burobey-Shenton Our First Information & Communications Officer Desza Ramsey Support Worker Jack Silveroak PA/Clerical Officer
Also during this period the following staff have joined SACMHA:
Denise Patterson Engagement, Communications & Information Officer James Ramsden Support Worker Linval Madden Community Advocate Eleanor Creary Equity Officer – Race & Mental Health Gambinga Gambinga Support Officer Tracey Walker Finance Officer Marva Ferguson PA/Clerical Officer
These roles are funded in a variety of ways and for varying periods, however, our overall goal is to stabilise these roles as part of SACMHA’s staffing establishment
## **3. Location**
Since the last reporting period we have moved our Central Team’s location to co-locate with an African Caribbean community social enterprise named SADACCA at 48 The Wicker, Sheffield S3 8JB
The new premises have allowed us to turn 84 Andover Street into a House of Multiple Occupation, letting 7 rooms to support our earned income strategy
## **4. Influence**
Since the pandemic and the issues emanating from the murder of George Floyd and the worldwide response that triggered, SACMHA has been a critical player in Sheffield’s attempts across the statutory and voluntary sector organisations to address the health inequalities and the social inequalities these events shone an inescapable light on
As a small charity, we have had to completely reshape our Delivery Plan and have become active in areas and on issues relevant to the African Caribbean community in a way that we never have before
SACMHA continues as an Appointed Governor at the Health & Social Care Foundation Trust and we are represented there by our Chair of Trustees, Celia Jackson-Chambers
Page 2
SACMHA is a member of Voluntary Action Sheffield (VAS) and our Service Director serves as a Trustee
SACMHA partners with Weston Park Cancer Charity and our Service Director represents us as a Trustee
We are members of the Mental Health Partnership Network (MHPN) led by Sheffield MIND. Our Community Mental Health Officer represents us there
In this reporting period a BAME Public Health Group was started to ensure that Communities of Colour were well supported and as a means of getting funding to organisations like ours. Our Engagement Officer and our Service Director support the work of this group
VAS initiated a Hubs Network at the start of the pandemic and SACMHA became the Hub for the African Caribbean Community. This has been an invaluable resource enabling us to meet with voluntary and statutory leaders from across the city and plan a coordinated response to this unprecedented period. Our Service Director represents us
Again during this period a Steering group made up of 4 VCF leaders and senior leaders from the City Council was set up as a means of taking forward the collaborative approach that emerged in the last 2 years and embedding it for the future
Our Service Director is one of the 4 VCF reps
We are also members of the VCF Leaders Forum, helping to shape services, investment and developments in Sheffield as we ease out of the pandemic
For the first time in many years the voice of the African Caribbean community is being heard in key places
## **5. Service Update**
## Mental Health Advocacy
During this period we have welcomed Linval Madden to the staff team here at SACMHA as our Community Mental Health Advocate
This role is funded by Sheffield Health & Social Care Foundation Trust and works across the 3 mental health hospital sites in Sheffield offering advocacy to the patients
In addition, Linval works with the local African Caribbean community whose loved one has been in hospital and is now discharged or whose mental health is such that they are at risk of an admission
Linval is present most weeks in our Social Café each Thursday and will offer input to our joint Well-being Hub each Wednesday (details of the Hub below)
Wednesday Well-being Hub/Social Cafe Since our move to 48 The Wicker, we have been able to create partnerships with other local charities based in the building to enhance our service offer to the community. Principally our partners here are:
- Space to Breathe: Local CIC that is keen to extend the work they do to more diverse beneficiaries
- Sheffield Flourish: a mental health charity that hosts the Sheffield Mental Health Guide – an online resource commissioned to collate and disseminate information in respect of local mental health provision
- SADACCA – a community and charitable landlord
This partnership delivers the Wednesday Well-being Hub which is aimed at people living with severe/unstable mental health issues
People receive a Caribbean meal, activities, opportunities to network, advocacy support and form-filling/letter writing support
On average each week 18 to 25 people attend. The SACMHA contribution to this is 6 hours of sessional Support Worker time and any follow-up time from the interaction with individual service users
Thursday Social Café Since the launch or our Social Café on 5[th] August this service has gone from strength to strength under the leadership of Corinne Moss, Community Support Worker and James Ramsden, Support Work Apprentice
In truth, the whole SACMHA team, ably supported by a number of our volunteers and Trustees have contributed to the success of this initiative
Page 3
Our collaboration with our colleagues from SADACCA has also been invaluable – we have been able to show to others in the city that collaboration in the African Caribbean community is alive and well and works!
None of this would have been possible without the grant from the Tudor Trust to fund our Social Café
Since we opened we have on average had 35 to 45 registering each week, 2/3 who now come consistently
Our Carer’s Group meets during this time on a monthly basis, again led by Corinne and James
We have organized a Boat Trip for Carers. We’ve had speakers who have covered topics as diverse as living with dementia, hypertension and diabetes awareness, Lasting Power of Attorney, wills and probate, healthy eating
Weekly activities such as chairobics, bingo and crafts happen all added to by the provision of varied and delicious Caribbean meal each week
Our work on health inequalities has meant that via this route, we have been able to contribute to sharing the lived experience of members of our community with commissioners and operational managers who have visited the Social Café to garner views and opinions and to complete surveys that will help to re-design health and social care services for the city
Contributions we’ve made in this regard include:
Community Champions
SACMHA was very active during the first lockdown and in subsequent lockdowns in 2020 and 2021
As work around the vaccine and its roll-out began and the issue of hesitancy became more apparent, SACMHA was commissioned and provided with additional short-term funding to recruit Community Champions who would be provided with robust, accurate and current information via Public Health – Sheffield and would disseminate the information within local networks
We successfully recruited 7.5 Community Champions and worked in partnership with others in the VCF and with a media company to produce targeted written and electronic messaging around the pandemic, keeping safe, the vaccine and addressing issues of hesitancy
Over 500 community-appropriate pieces of literature have been shared so far in addition to social media clips
Engagement, Communications & Information
The Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) commissioned SACMHA to:
- Deliver a Webinar focused on the faith element to vaccine hesitancy
- Deliver a Webinar on the theme of ‘waiting’ for the vaccine
- Produce clips of local Sheffield people from the African Caribbean who had had their vaccines, including Faith leaders
The CCG also commissioned us to promote the flu jab, which local data was indicating that there is poor take-up in the African Caribbean community
We have cemented a real online presence via our website, Facebook and Twitter. This work is led by our Engagement, Communications and Information Officer, Denise Patterson
## This work is now embedded as part of SACMHA’s role as a conduit to and from our community and from key partners
We also formed an alliance with Vybe Digital, a start-up IT company who completely re-designed our website and provided training for our staff who now manage it
Community Mental Health
SACMHA continues to be very active in community mental health support, principally delivered by Corinne Moss, Linval Madden and James Ramsden
Service users who are detained under the Mental Health Act and are having home leave also make use of our Social Café’ and at present 3 services users regularly attend with the support of the hospital staff who are in attendance
Page 4
This work is largely funded by the Tudor Trust grant, the contracts with the Foundation Trust and government support for apprentices
Given the size of the need, evidenced by the increase in requests for involvement from SACMHA with individual service users and their families, this service needs to expand
We are in discussions with statutory colleagues to this end and with Rethink – a national mental health charity
Self-Directed Support & Personalisation
This work is led by Sonya Chattoo and has been the main-stay of SACMHA as we navigated our way out of the impact of austerity – a process that is still underway
At present we support 39 Personal Budget Holders who have their care needs me by a cohort of 37 Personal Assistants (PA’s)
In addition, SACMHA is a key partner in the City Councils transformation program for adult social care, including Direct Payments
Funded by Health Watch Sheffield, we undertook a review of Home Care in the African Caribbean community and produced a report for the Council
An Action Plan, based on the findings of our report and the recommendations has been drafted by the Local Authority and a Team, of which SACMHA is a part has been set up to implement the recommendations
This work has been endorsed by Senior Leaders in Adult Social Care, the Chief Executive of the City Council and elected members
## **6. Communications & Engagement**
In our last Annual Report I stated that our goal is for SACMHA to be the ‘ **Go To** ’ organisation in respect of health and social care information between a range of providers and our community, as well as a provider of choice in terms of still delivering direct support to our community.
The work Denise Patterson is doing for us is achieving that ambition
Some key data/examples that supports our progress in this regard is:
- On average 1500 to 2000 ‘hits’ on the SACMHA website each month
- Key partners routinely ask SACMHA to host paid and voluntary positions in their organisations as a means of broadening their reach and enhancing the diversity of their staff/volunteer resource
- An active twitter presence (259 followers in a few short months)
- An active Facebook presence
- Commissioned work from Sheffield CCG and Public Health to aid in their messaging to the African Caribbean community
- Ongoing engagement with the Black-led Faith Sector as a key place to engage with significant numbers of our community
- 2 SACMHA-led Vaccine Clinics, hosted in one of the Black Majority Churches (over 300 people vaccinated)
## Partnership Working
Since our last annual report, we are now a Community Partner with Sheffield Hallam University
One of the benefits of this relationship so far is that we have advertised for a PhD student to be place with SACMHA for the 3- year period of their study
The university and SACMHA have shaped the PhD proposal jointly, which will focus on health inequalities in the local Sheffield African Caribbean community
SACMHA’s Service Director and 2 academics will form the Steering Group overseeing this work
This key development will help
- Provide robust local data
- Compare with national health inequalities data
- Support our role in helping to reshape the services of partners in the city so that they are more inclusive from a sound evidence base
Page 5
**Next Steps** – we are in similar discussions with the University of Sheffield for a similar role but with a focus solely on mental health and our community
## **7. New Developments and the Future**
It cannot be over-stated the difference the investment from the Tudor Trust in SACMHA has made
Having the security of funding for the operational leadership of this organisation and the appointment of a knowledgeable, skilled and well-connected Community Support Officer has allowed us to progress in leaps and bounds
It would be impossible to produce an annual report without again making reference to the reverberations that are still being felt on the back of the pandemic and the social injustices highlighted by the murder of George Floyd and other tragedies
SACMHA has a clear grasp of intersectionality as it impacts other Protected Groups
Whilst we have a 34-year record of service to the African Caribbean community, like other organisations, we are on a journey in respect of other Protected Characteristics
In the last 6 months our partnership with Weston Park Cancer charity has resulted in us benefitting from training with regard to better engaging with the LGBTQ+ community and hearing testimonies of their lived experience as a means of improving and making more inclusive the service offer makes to the whole community
We have developed a robust partnership with Disability Sheffield, delivered a joint webinar and agreed to formally link our advocacy staff as a means of peer support
We are excited about the future despite the challenges we face as a world, a country, a city and this organisation, and to that end we have in place a number of new projects that we plan to start in 2022
Since our last annual report, we are now a Community Partner with Sheffield Hallam University
One of the benefits of this relationship so far is that we have advertised for a PhD student to be place with SACMHA for the 3- year period of their study
The university and SACMHA have shaped the PhD proposal jointly, which will focus on health inequalities in the local Sheffield African Caribbean community
SACMHA’s Service Director and 2 academics will form the Steering Group overseeing this work
This key development will help to:
- Provide robust local data
- Compare with national health inequalities data
- Support our role in helping to reshape the services of partners in the city so that they are more inclusive from a sound evidence base
We are in similar discussions with the University of Sheffield for a similar role but with w focus solely on mental health and our community and have been commissioned to jointly do some work around prostate cancer as the first step in this partnership
## **8. Training**
In my last report I shared that we have established a Collective of trained and experienced trainers who will provide training to a range of partners with a focus on the cultural competence of these organisations and the steps they can take to improve their competence in this regard.
So far, we have delivered training to:
- One Voluntary Sector Organisations
- - 2 NHS organisations
- 1 of the local universities
## **9. Joint Bids**
Our joint bid for work in respect of diabetes and SACMHA’s wish to lead this work in the African Caribbean Community was successful
Work has started engaging our community in this regard and we have been able to appoint a retired nurse on a sessional basis initially to lead this work
Page 6
We have also partnered with another local VCF organisation, ZEST to run preventative workshops in respect of diabetes in our community
## **10. Early Support**
The data tells us that the African Caribbean community is over-represented in the majority of negative health indices and in addition, we present late or not at all for national screening in respect of issues such as bowel, cervical and breast cancer
AS means of providing a safe and trusted space for our community to share health concerns at a much earlier period, we have recruited 6 retired nurses who provide initial support and signposting
Clearly this is no substitute for regular contact with GP’s and other health professionals, rather it is an attempt to increase that contact and offer support so that it happens at an earlier point in an individual’s health journey
## **11. Equity Officer – Race & Mental Health**
We are particularly excited about the creation of this role, funded by the Health & Social Care Foundation Trust in Sheffield for an initial 2-year period
This role will focus on addressing two crucial areas in respect of mental health in our community:
- Restrictive Practices on the Wards
- Addressing Black Male suicide
Local data tells us that of the restraints on the wards of our local mental health hospitals, 42% of restraints were on Black patients
We have coordinated an advisory group of key professionals tasked with getting to grips with restrictive practice on the wards to support our newly recruited member of staff
There is no data in respect of suicide, as ethnic monitoring does not occur, however, as a result of our Service Director’s other role in the community, in the last 3 years he has officiated at the funerals of 6 members of the local African Caribbean community who ended their lives intentionally – 5 were men and one woman. The youngest male being just 16 years of age
We have coordinated a Steering Group of Black men who have had issues in respect of self-harm, facilitated by a trained counsellor to support our newly appointed member of staff in this work
## 12. **Apprenticeships**
We were successful in recruiting a Kick Start Apprentice via the central government scheme
James Ramsden has made a significant contribution to SACMHA and the role of the apprentice has changed
We’re therefore very pleased that James will transfer onto an Apprenticeship in Care and will be with SACMHA for at least another 18 months
## **PhD Work**
Elsewhere in this report I have made reference to the partnership with the universities locally
The closing date for the PhD research into local health inequalities is January 2022, with a proposed start date of March 2022
Regular interim reports will be produced as a precursor to the final report at the end of the 3-year period
## **13. Trustee Recruitment**
Our Board of Trustees has been strengthened by Dr Lisa Philip joining us
Dr Philip is a local GP of Caribbean origin and is an Elected Member of the Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group
Also joining the Board of Trustees is Dr Stephanie Ejegi-Memeh
Dr Ejegi-Memeh is an academic working at the University of Sheffield and has a focus on health inequalities. Dr Ejegi-Memeh started her professional career as a nurse
Sadly, we said goodbye to two longstanding Trustees, Fay Colphon and Vivine Scott
Page 7
SACMHA is indebted to you both for your commitment and consistency over many years
## **14 Counsellors Collective**
Research tells us that People of Colour and particularly African Caribbean men are less likely to be offered the talking therapies and much more likely to be ‘managed’ with a chemical and medicalised approach.
SACMHA has brought together 4 trained and experienced Black male counsellors and a white male Trainee Counsellor.
Since starting this service we have supported 6 individuals and have two requests pending at the time of writing
## **14. SACMHA – Our Challenges**
SACMHA has made and continues to make a significant contribution to the communities of Sheffield
In common with many voluntary organisations however, our funding is primarily unstable
We have had real success in attracting initiative/one-off investment targeted at specific activities and outcomes
We are working hard to position ourselves with key partners and commissioners to influence further commissioning needs and most importantly, to ensure that specific needs of our community are routinely factored into decision-making
We still have a very long way to go on this journey, a journey we could not have even begun, but for the investment of the Tudor Trust
Our key challenge therefore is for this organisation is to stabilise our financial and human resource base and to continue delivering what are clearly valued services
## **15. Conclusion**
The Service User’s Carers, Volunteers, Staff and Trustees of SACMHA are grateful to have navigated another year in this organisations development and look forward with hope and anticipation to the next period
Profound thanks go to all who have so willingly and consistently worked with and for SACMHA

Chair
## **Sheffield African Caribbean Mental Health Association Limited**
## **Financial Statement**
## **for the Year Ended 31st March 2021**
## ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland ( FRS 102)(effective 1 January 2015)(charities SORP(FRS 102),the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland(FRS 102) and the companies Act 2006. The financial statements have adopted Charities SORP(FRS 102) Bulletin 1 and taken advantage of the exemption not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
## **Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Contract income is included in the year in which the service took place.
## **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
All items of capita l expenditure below £500 are written off as incurred.
Depreciation has been calculated to write down the cost of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment 15% Straight line
Properties are held at cost, and depreciated over the life of the asset. However, changes in the market prices may indicate that the residual value of the properties has stayed the same or increased. In this case, the depreciation charge for the year will be £nil for the year, being a change in the accounting estimate. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Trade Debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customer for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amount due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Trade Creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHEFFIELD AFRICAN CARIBBEAN MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION LIMITED
I report to the charity directors on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the directors of the Company you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006(‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011(‘the 2011Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes are view of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and there port is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- To keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities -Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005) have not been met: or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
