## **Wirral Mind** 

## **Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## Governing document 

Wirral Mind is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, and its governing document.  It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. 

## Appointment of trustees 

Wirral Mind's Executive Committee are also Trustees of the Charity and Directors of the company. Members are elected by Annual General Meetings of the members of Wirral Mind, with casual vacancies filled, as required , by the Executive Committee in accordance with the Articles of Association. 

## Trustee induction and training 

New Trustees are issued with an induction booklet specifically for trustees of Wirral Mind, which sets out their roles and responsibilities.  Training courses are arranged with an appropriate training provider, face to face and/or online and all Trustees are encouraged to attend training courses which are appropriate to their role in the organisation. 

## Risk management 

The Executive committee has undertaken a full assessment of all risks, and has set out measures to mitigate these risks 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Wirral Mind exists to promote mental health: to foster and encourage greater understanding of mental health problems; to aid the development of and to provide good quality voluntary and statutory services to those suffering from mental health problems and mental stress.  To represent the concerns and common interests of users of the service, their families, service providers and members of the public.There is unrestricted access to our services for all affected by such conditions. In consequence the activities deliver public benefit. 

## The main activities are: 

Supported housing - provision of housing in independent flats operated by the charity. Residential housing- provision of residential care in flats operated by the charity Counselling 

Learning and Life - training 

Fountain Project - a drop in centre for service users, providing support and activity Counselling 

The charity is dependent upon voluntary help, and there are currently around 29 volunteers. The majority of the work done by the volunteers is befriending and counselling. However there are also volunteers assisting as support workers and in administration. 

We estimate that without this volunteer help an additional 2.5 full time staff members would be required to undertake these duties at a cost of £42,315.

## **Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2021 Achievements, performance and plans for future** 

This year I want to begin this report by thanking everyone associated with Wirral Mind for their tireless support throughout another highly successful year. 

On the 25[th] March,2021 Steve Maddox retired as Chair of the Board after 7 years. Wirral Mind were sad that Steve had decided to retire, and wish to acknowledge his leadership, vision and commitment to the organisation. 

I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to succeed Steve Maddox as Chair of the Board of this well respected and excellent organisation. I aim to build on the Strategic Priorities that have been identified, and at the same time look towards developing new initiatives and maximising opportunities for further growth, some of which may arise through the development of Integrated Care Partnerships and Collaborative Commissioning. 

During the Covid 19 pandemic Wirral Mind has continued to provide much needed services. New initiatives were created and developed which are designed to reach out to those who due to the impact of Covid 19 experienced mental health issues. This would not have been possible without the excellent leadership of the Chief Executive Officer, Sandra Gilbert and the dedicated commitment of staff and volunteers. 

As a result of these services   Wirral Mind received a Humanitarian Award from Community Action Wirral for the organisations achievements during lockdown. Since the end of lockdown in April the Fountain Project has re-opened with renewed energy offering a range of activities designed to promote Mental Health well-being. This has further increased the number of people accessing the resources offered at the Fountain Club. It is encouraging to note that Wirral Mind is financially stable despite the economic upheavals during lockdown. 

The Board has agreed a set of key Strategic Priorities, I will deal briefly with each in turn. 

## **Priority 1 Employee training, development and capacity** 

Even though there were many restrictions in the year due to the pandemic we have managed to continue with mandatory training for staff via online learning.  As the restrictions have been lifted, we are slowly moving back to face-to-face training once more. 

We aim to train all staff in Mental Health First Aid to enable our front-line workers to carry out their roles with more confidence and provide better outcomes to service users. Most staff have now completed this training. 

## **Priority 2 Development of Partnerships.** 

We have developed the Lived Experience Network for Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention this year. On behalf of the NO MORE Suicide Partnership Board and this involves other partners in the Cheshire and Merseyside area. 

As previously mentioned, there are new developments arising from the NHS Reform Bill, we are looking to ensure Wirral Mind is in a prominent position to try to maximise any opportunities and influence the outcome. 

## **Priority 3 Expand Housing Support.** 

We continue to explore opportunities to expand our Supported Living offer, to support more people living in their own homes and we have sufficient funds to do so if a suitable opportunity arises. 

3 



## **Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Priority 4 Improved Use of IT in Service Delivery.** 

We have improved our IT services during the Covid pandemic out of necessity for people to work from home and for training to take place online rather than face to face. We would like to develop this further both for internal use and for external training purposes. We continue to raise our online presence through our social media platforms – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. 

## **Priority 5 Board Development** 

As previously mentioned, our former Chair, Steve Maddox retired from the Board earlier in the year. The contribution which Steve made to the growth and development of Wirral Mind is acknowledged. In addition, we were sad to lose our President, Anthony Mould who after many years of continuous dedication and commitment to the Board and Wirral Mind decided to retire. Finbarr Hession, our youngest Board member resigned in order to attend Durham University. We would like to thank Finbarr for his involvement with Wirral Mind and wish him well for the future 

Our aim is to recruit Board members that accurately reflect the diversity of the community we serve, and we continue to identify which areas of expertise are required to enhance the boards skills base. 

I am pleased to report that we have appointed 3 new members this financial year who meet those criteria – Dr Cerys Vora who is a retired GP, Jenny Owens who is a Health Visitor and Elena Fowler who prior to retiring had been Head of Children’s and Mental Health Services for different local authorities, and latterly CEO of a legal and advocacy service for children and young people. 

## **Priority 6 Investments better use of Funds** 

Acting prudently and with the benefit of professional advice we, must make sure that our money works for us and gives us the maximum return. Our investments continue to perform well after losing value due to the pandemic. They have now recovered to above the level they were before the pandemic began. 

As previously mentioned, we are looking at potential investments in suitable properties to expand our supported housing. We are also looking at investing in a property to be able to expand our corporate offer of training. 

## **Priority 7 Awareness Raising of Mental Health Particularly Amongst the Young** 

According to Mind’s research we know that more than half of adults and over two thirds of young people said their mental health has worsened during lockdown. 

We have had to put some of our plans on hold as we could not open the building during the lockdown. 

We have however been involved with the Whole School Approach programme. We will continue to explore this opportunity and hope to continue with the idea of opening the Fountain Club for the exclusive use of young people. 

## **Priority 8 Fundraising** 

Our fundraising strategy aims to diversify the charity’s income in order to improve our financial stability. We aim to put procedures in place for effective long-term fundraising with less reliance on Council funding However, currently we do have an excellent partnership with Wirral Borough Council as we provide essential services on their behalf. Also we do have excellent partnerships that are highly supportive of the charity and its work. 

Even throughout the pandemic we have had many people who came up with innovative ways of raising donations for us via Just Giving accounts and we thank them all.

## **Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Priority 9 Relationship with National Mind** 

We hope to become a Local Mind Community Partner and a Local Mind Business Partner within the new Mind Federation agreement. 

## **Priority 10 Counselling, Befriending and Volunteering** 

We have developed our current provision of groups and wellbeing activities to include the use of technology such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and social media. 

We aim to continue to develop telephone/zoom counselling sessions for people who are house bound and those who work shifts to provide an inclusive service. 

## **Priority 11 The Fountain Project** 

We have developed a Check in and Chat telephone system during the pandemic and we are making 1000 calls per week to those who are still not wanting to meet face to face. We are now offering further sessions at the Club including, Yoga, Meditation, Massage, Walking Group and a Bereavement Group as well as trying to bring back the support groups we used to have each week. 

## **Priority 12 Commercial Training** 

We want to further develop our online digital offer to commercial customers. We have developed and deliver the NO MORE Suicide Community training online. and we hope this will lead to us being commissioned to develop a Train the Trainer model also. We have been commissioned to develop a Lived Experience for Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention on behalf of the NO MORE Suicide Partnership Board. 

We intend to build on these new opportunities to further advance our commercial training offer. 

## **Priority 13 Mental Health Services for New Mums** 

We have made initial plans and hope to develop a perinatal mental health service for women who are dealing with mental health problems linked to early motherhood 

Can I end this report by thanking everyone, particularly my fellow Board members for their time, commitment and unfaltering support throughout another highly successful year for Wirral Mind. 

## **Financial Review** 

The trustees are pleased to report that the charity made a realised surplus in the year of £36,521. The trustees remain committed to utilising a sum of money to purchase further property; to be used for holidays and respite for service users and their carers. In addition the Trustees will make the property available for other users to generate additional income for the charity. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the trustees' policy to preserve reserves at a level of £500,000 to ensure that the charity has sufficient cash balances to meet any unforeseen circumstances such as potential under funded cost increases, potential additional working capital requirements and any maintenance and repair costs that may arise. 

## **Investment policy** 

The trustees have spent a significant amount of time reviewing Wirral Mind’s investments. The charity has had a substantial sum deposited in its bank generating little interest. The Board will continue to monitor how the reserves of Wirral Mind can be used to maximise income for the benefit of the organisation and its service users now and in the future.

## **Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year.In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to:

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Wirral Mind A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of  Wirral Mind (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; 

- 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) (ISAs (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 Charity 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 1 to the financial statements, 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** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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. 

7 



## **Wirral Mind** 

## **A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 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; 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; 

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit; 

- the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the directors’ report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of the trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 6, the trustees 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 they 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 Charity’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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

The trustees have elected for the financial statements to be audited in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 rather than the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly, we have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 

8 



## **Wirral Mind A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

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. 

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/auditorsresponsibilites. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Charityʼs trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charityʼs trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorʼs report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charityʼs trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Wirral Mind Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## _**Basis of preparation**_ 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with  Charities SORP (FRS102), applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 

## _**Going Concern**_ 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Covid-19 pandemic has created financial pressures on the charity however the Trustees have considered the levels of funds held and the level of income and expenditure, together with the level of reserves for the charity, sufficient to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## _**Depreciation**_ 

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives. 

Freehold buildings over 50 years Business equipment 20% straight line 

## _**Leasing and hire purchase commitments**_ 

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the company, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. 

The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## _**Incoming Resources**_ 

Voluntary income including donations and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Investment income is recognised on a receivables basis. 

Income from charitable activities includes grants received under contract, and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.  Income is deferred when the donors specify that it must be used in future accounting periods or donor conditions have not been fulfilled.
