Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024
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
The charity is dependent upon voluntary help, and there are currently around 51 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 6 full time staff members would be required to undertake these duties at a cost of £109,994.

Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024
Achievements, performance and plans for the future
On behalf of the Board I would like to emphasise the excellent services and support that the management, staff and volunteers have provided over the year. Also to acknowledge the efforts and energy our service users bring to Wirral Mind.
Our strategic objectives have been met and it is the organisation’s vision to build on the successes of the last five years, as many of our services have evolved.
Our aim is to provide needed and effective services that maximise individual and social wellbeing, campaign to improve policy and attitudes and seek to relieve distress and disadvantage associated with mental ill-health wherever it affects lives in Wirral. We want to be the first choice organisation for people who require our services and who live in our area.
The world in which the charity operates continues to change, and our strategy ensures we can be an agile organisation which enables us to meet new challenges as they arise. To ensure we continue to meet our goals as an organisation, we need to maintain our focus on robust financial management and strong governance.
This report sets out how Wirral Mind will achieve its objectives, and how we will create and make the most of the opportunities that arise in the coming years. There is flexibility within our strategy to enable us to accommodate environmental changes and keep our vision moving in the right direction.
We will continue to collaborate and work with other local and national organisations to ensure we maximise the potential of new and changing service offers.
Wirral Mind is very much about teamwork, and investing in our staff is a major part of our strategy. We see our team as the most valuable asset to the charity and we want to support and develop them to enable us to bring our strategy to life and achieve our overall aims.
We are proud of our achievements as we continue to develop services which meet the needs of our diverse community.
We have recently had a meeting and attended an open day at Multi Cultural Centre to raise awareness of our services.
We are delighted that we have recently been awarded the Mind Quality Mark in recognition of the high quality of the services we provide and that systems are in place ensuring policies are reviewed regularly. Also that the services we provide are monitored and outcomes assessed.
National Mind commissioned a scoping exercise to consider the opportunities to establish a Mind presence in Liverpool,Sefton and Knowsley . We await further developments from National Mind.
Each year the Board acknowledges and appreciates the initiatives and achievements that have been evident during the year. This year is no exception and the Board is extremely proud of the management, staff in all sectors and our volunteers who enable Wirral Mind to effectively meet the Strategic Objectives.

Financial review
The trustees report that the charity made a realised loss in the year of £204,325. This was planned and expected as the charity was fully committed to providing funding for new services and expanding existing services from reserves.
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 to ensure that the risk and reward is appropriate. 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.

Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2024
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:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
Disclosure of information to auditors
We, the trustees of the charitable company, who held office at the date of approval of these financial statements, as set out above, each confirm so far as we are aware, that:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
-
we have taken all steps that we ought to have taken to make ourselves aware of
any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
Auditors
A resolution proposing that KPH Audit and Assurance Services Limited be reappointed as auditors of Wirral Mind will be put to the AGM.
This report was approved by the board on 14 November 2024

Wirral Mind A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2024
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wirral Mind (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2024 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 2024 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.

Wirral Mind
A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2024
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 5, 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.
7
Wirral Mind A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2024
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 2024
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 2006.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist.
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 25% 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.

Wirral Mind Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
Volunteers and donated services and facilities
The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Further details of the contribution by volunteers can be found in the Trustees Annual Report.

Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the management committee for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
