Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2025
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 47 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 £140,314

Wirral Mind Trustees' Report (including the Directors' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2025
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 DJH Audit Limited be reappointed as auditors of Wirral Mind will be put to the AGM.
This report was approved by the board on 4 December 2025

Wirral Mind A Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditors' Report to the Members of Wirral Mind For the year ended 31 March 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wirral Mind (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2025 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 2025 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 2025
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 2025
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 a Report of the Independent Auditor 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.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur.
Audit Procedures performed by the Charity’s engagement team included:
-
-Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
-
Understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential for override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable law and regulations;
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates.
Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
A further description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of my Report of the Independent Auditor.
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.

Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified to account for revaluation of property, 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.
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.
