**AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

ACMHS is a community based organisation providing free confidential and culturally appropriate services to African and African Caribbean people suffering from mental ill health. 

The organisation provides services across economic and socially disadvantaged areas of Manchester. ACMHS also provides support for carers and families of service users and takes a holistic approach to mental ill health, perceiving it to be linked not only to psychological genetics, but also external factors such as exclusion and isolation. 

The primary objectives of ACMHS are to promote the preservation of mental health and to assist in rehabilitating members of the African and African Caribbean communities living in Manchester who are experiencing some form of mental disorder or conditions of emotional or mental distress requiring advice or treatment. 

To further its charitable purposes for the public benefit the incoming resources of the Charity were used to provide services during the financial year as follows: 

- Mental Health Services i.e. Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT); Severe and Enduring 

- Counselling (CBT and person centred) 

- CBT Therapies 

- Drop-ins (music, Women's and Carers Group) 

- Advocacy - for service users and their families i.e.: advice on Mental Health Act, medication, diagnosis, benefits, housing 

- Advice and support for individuals in their own homes in order to maximise their potential for independent living 

- Volunteering 

- Befriending/peer support 

- Student placements (social work, occupational therapists, nurses, social change, medical, counsellors, community and youth workers 

In deciding what activities to undertake the trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. 

## **Policies and Organisation** 

ACMHS has a Board of Trustees consisting of related organisations or interested individuals, service users, carers and volunteer representatives. The Board has specific sub-groups, which are mandated to plan and review certain areas of work (i.e. Marketing, Governance and Strategic planning, Managing Resources and Personnel Sub Group).

**AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

As an organisation we have continued to ensure that our front line services have been available providing a free, confidential and culturally appropriate mental health service predominantly to African and African Caribbean people, as well as other minority groups including white Europeans, suffering from mental ill health, also for their carers and families, residing across the economic and socially disadvantaged areas of Manchester and surrounding areas. 

We continue  to offer interventions through various mediums ie, telephone, zoom  and face to face. 

Throughout the year, we have continued to pursue additional funding to sustain and strengthen our services, ensuring we can address the disproportionate challenges faced by our Black and Minority Ethnic clients experiencing poor mental health. 

We have continued the partnership with Gaddum to provide Culturally Appropriate Advocacy a pilot funded by the Department of Health and Social Care. This is now in Phase II and ended on 31st March 2025. 

Our committed staff team, alongside volunteers and Trustees continue to work to the best of their ability to deliver an effective service despite funding constraints. 

A detailed review of the achievements can be found in the Annual Report April 2024 to March 2025. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Investment policy** 

The charity places any surplus funds on deposit in an interest bearing bank account. 

## **Financial Review and Reserves** 

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the financial management policies. Annual budgets are prepared and approved at the commencement of each year and actual incoming and outgoing resources are monitored at regular intervals. 

Most of the charity's income continues to be grants and contract payments for the provision of various welfare services. Funding in the year was received from Manchester CCG, Health Education England, Tudor Trust, Department of Health and Social Care and Cultural Well Being Fund. 

Income has decreased to £556,053 (2024 - £726,302), and Expenditure has increased to £593,851 (2024£573,637). Net outgoing resources for the year are £37,798 (2024- Surplus - £152,665). 

Unrestricted funds are £359,127 (2024 - £383,240) and the trustees consider this level needs to be maintained to enable the effective financial management of its activities at their present level.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF AFRICAN AND CARIBBEAN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of African and Caribbean Mental Health Services** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of African and Caribbean Mental Health Services (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
