A note from the Chair of
Trustees
As we expected, the year to 31 March 2025 was very chaLlenging. but
I am heartened by the way in which the staff and volunteers of Mind
BLMK rose to face these chaLLenges. Our contract income continues
to be under pressure, and we await the outcome of the recent re-
organisation in the NHS that wilL create a number of new Integrated
Care Boards. but this will create new opportunities
for new
services, to co-operate with other LocaL Minds, and to reach new
service users who can benefit from the support that we offer.

ncami's-story
Hi, I'm Cami. I've been attending the Young Person's Sanctuary IYPS) at the CAMHS section in Milton Keyne
since it opened over a year ago. Before discovering YPS. 15truggled with confidence and feared judgment whe
speaking to others. My mental health was declining due to issues at home. school feeling unsafe, friendshi
problems. money worries, and concerns about my grandparents.
I found Mind 8LMK and YPS after seeking help for my mental heaLth challenges and immediateLy felt safe
listened to and valued. Despite initial nervousness about being buzzed in and the location within CAMHS.
quickly grew comfortable. The YPS has been incredibly helpful in planning ways to improve my socia
interactions and understand different points of view. They've also provided support for issues outside of menta
health. One significant breakthrough was the support I received from YPS during a difficult time with th
police, when I wasn't getting help from anywhere else.
It turned out okay, thanks to their support. Attending YPS has changed my life for the better by boosting m
confidence and helping me navigate challenging situations. 1 Still attend because it continues to provid
valuable support and makes me feel valued. I love the Young Person Sanctuary and hope it remains available fo
a lon9 time.
Thank you to the entire team for your support and for this opportunity to share my story.
My name is Samuel, and for the past four months, I've been
BLMK.
I've lived with anxiety for over 15 years. For most of that time, I managed it on my own and was able to live a
relatively normal life. However, in the past couple of years. my anxiety began to intensify, with episodes
becoming more severe and harder to control. Earlier this year, it reached a point where I had to take time off
work
something I'd never done before
because it was impacting every part of my life. As a father of a
youn9 child. I knew I needed to take action so I could be present and enjoy life with my family again.
sing the Peer Support services offered by Mind
I turned to Peer Support because I wanted to connect with others who had been through 5imiLar experiences
and could truly understand what I was going through. Even when you're surrounded by supportive friends and
family, it can feeL isolating IF they haven't lived the same struggLes. While searching online, I discovered a
weekly support group in Ampthill run by Mind
an organisation I already trusted. I reached out, and within a
week, I was welcomed into my first session.
The support I've received from the group has been incredible. What makes it so valuable is the openne55 and
honesty everyone brings to the table. It's helped me realise I'm not alone in how I feel. I've picked up practical
tips from others in the group and never felt judged. When it came time to return to work- a daunting step for
me - hearing from other5 who had already navigated that transition was a huge help. Their insight made all
the difference in making my return successful.
want to sincereLy thank everyone at Mind BLMK. The services you provide are exceptional and truLy life-
changing. Every member of the team I've met has been kind. non-judgmental. and full of practical advice.
While I know my journey isn't over, I'm in a much better place today

Mind BLMK'S policies and procedures, entering into key contracts and partnerships, and selection and
appointment of auditors.
The Business Development and Finance sub-committee operates a streamlined approval mechanism to
facilitate an agile response to emerging mental healthcare initiatives. partnership, and funding
opportunities. This avoids the need to delay decisions to the next quarterly meeting cycle.
Organisation Policies
Ownership of each policy is assigned to a relevant sub-committee of the Board of Trustees. Additionally,
the senior management team own many of the operational policies. Policies are reviewed and updated on
staggered schedule. Key operational risks are mapped to policies to ensure completeness of policy
coverage.

Risk management
Remuneration policy
The Board of Trustees oversees the major risks to
which Mind BLMK is exposed in order to ensure
processes, polices and systems are put in place to
reduce and mitigate risks. The risk register reflects
the impact of any risk and the likelihood of its
occurrence. It identifies controls and generates
actions to reduce any risk. The risks are reviewed
by the Trustees and systems have been put in
place to mitigate those risks. The reglster ensures
risks around 9overnance, services, finances, and
workforce are identified and owned by the relevant
governance committee with further oversight at
every Board meeting.
The Trustees consider the Board of Directors, who
are the charity's Trustees, and the Senior
Leadership Team comprising the key management
personnel of the charity, to be in charge of
directing and controlling, running and operating
the charity on a day-to-day basis. All Trustees give
of their time freely and no Trustee received
renumeration in the year.
Management
The names of the Trustees who served during the
year are set out on page 25.
Mind BLMK continues to develop new services and
extend current provision and this impacts on the
organisational structure and capacity. Therefore.
these are reguLarly monitored to ensure it is
sufficiently dynamic and agile to respond to
current needs and future changes in a 9rowing
charity.
A Chief Executive is appointed by the Trustees to
manage the day-to-day operation of Mind BLMK.
The CEO remuneration is based on geo9raphical
location and charity size. An organisational Job
Evaluation with 4 criteria (Knowledge: People and
Relationships Management. Analysis, Planning
and Thinking, Decision Making and Accountability)
sets and benchmarks organisational pay.
Significant Risks
Attracting and retaining an effective workforce can
be challenging and therefore the risk of the impact
of vacant roles is significant for Mind BLMK. It
irnpacts on the ability to deliver services and have
sufficient infrastructure to support Mind BLMK,
In addition, it means Loss to the knowledge and
experience the Charity requires. The current need
to attract and retain people who have the skills
and experience to work in all departments/services
and Levels in Mind BLMK is more relevant currently
due to the growth in service delivery. This risk is
mitigated by reviewing polices associated with
recruitment. onboarding, supervisions. appraisals,
dedicated recruitment capacity in the HR team
and Senior Leadership Team oversight.
The Executive Team
comprises the Chief
Executive, CaroLine Lewis; the Head of Finance
and Resources, Katy Preen; the Head of
Operations, Richard Hurst and the Head of HR,
Harjit Basra.
Public Benefit
Through Mind BLMK'S services. Mind BLMK meets
its public benefit obligations in accordance with

Financial review
At 31 March 2025, the total reserves amounted to
£g89,4g6 of which £54.035 are restricted and
£52,765 are designated unrestricted funds i.e. have
to be used for specific or designated purposes.
The baLance is unrestricted.
The
Business
Development
and
Finance
Committee monitors these reserve Levels on a
quarterly basis.
Mind BLMK posted a deficit of £158,392 in the
year under review, reducing the unrestricted
reserves to £935,461.
The planned deficit refLects the continuing
investment in the organisational infrastructure and
workforce to ensure we are delivering on the
strategy by providing high quality services to the
community. This
despite
challenging
fundraising and commissioning environment where
we have seen a reduction in the services we
deliver.
The current level of avaiLable reserves are higher
than the Level as set out by the policy. However,
the trustees feel given that the current funding
risks that Mind BLMK is facing the levels of
reserves is prudent and appropriate.
With the level of reserves available to Mind BLMK,
it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a
going concern basis.
Details of Mind BLMK'S financial performance are
given in the Statement of Financial Activities and
Balance Sheet on pages 33 and 35 and supportin9
notes on pages 36-48, forming part of this Annual
Report.
The Trustees are satisfied that the assets of the
Charity are available and adequate to fulfil the
obligations of the Charity on a fund-by-fund basis:
details of various specific funds are given in the
notes to the accounts. They are also satisfied that
the accounts cornpLy with current statutory
requirements.
Principal Funding Sources
Core funding for Mind BLMK'S activities is provided
by Bedford and Luton Community Foundation,
East London NHS Foundation Trust. NHS BLMK
ICB, Central Bedfordshire Council, and Central and
North West London NHS Foundation Trust.
Since 2018 there has been a dedicated Fundraising
department to increase unrestricted funds.
It is the policy of Mind BLMK to maintain a level of
unrestricted reserves that reflects the risks faced
by the organisation. The current biggest risks to
the organisation are a 105s of contracts and
existing contracts having no provision for uplifts to
cover the costs of the increase in the National
Livin9 wage and National Insurance given the
financial
constraint5
commissioners
are
experiencing at the moment. Where no uplift has
been provided we have negotiated a reduction in
service provision with funders.
Given this. the reserves calculation was based on
costs of a proportion of services closing, making
allowance for staff that could TUPE across to an
alternative provider of the service and maintaining
a core team of staff in order to rebuild the
organisation. The calculation for the minimum
reserve values as at 31 May 2025 is £696,144.
Investment Powers
and Policy
Under the
Memorandum
and Articles
Association, Mind BLMK has the power to invest in
any way the Trustees see fit. In Light of the more
favourable interest rates now available a review of
potential higher reward options was considered.
The Trustees determined that it has no appetite
for riskier investments. but 9iven the levels of cash
have taken the decision to spread cash resources
in line with the Financial Services Compensation
Scheme guarantee OF £85,000 per account.
Mind BLMK holds no investments other than bank
deposits.

Expenditure on Future
Income Raising Capability
Mind BLMK monitors its potential sources of
income For four years ahead. As its main income is
from contracts of limited duration, from one year
upwards, the greatest risks to its future activities
are:
Mind BLMK continues to operate in a challenging
environment particularly given cost pressures for
the NHS and local authorities and continues to
consider methods to diversify its income stream
and limit the impact of fluctuations to that income
stream. As discussed above we have a dedicated
Fundraising department and in addition we have
invested in dedicated capacity to broaden our reach
in terms of grant applications.

Our training department still delivers much
needed
mental health knowledge to the
communities but due to a competitive market the
training has reduced. so a decision was made to
use some of this resource to focus on grant
funding. Fundraising income has reduced however
the department Still brings in unrestricted income
which enables Mind BLMK to deLiver more for the
communities.
Indemnity Insurance
Mind BLMK purchases Indemnity Insurance on behalf
of the Trustees.
Pensions Liability
Mind BLMK operates a defined contribution pension
scheme to which employee and employer contribute.
There is no defined benefit pension scheme and no
pension Liability.
Our volunteers continue to be an important part of
Mind BLMK by increasing skills. knowLedge,
diversity, understandin9 of our communities and
increasing our social impact. We invested in a
Volunteers Coordinator to support our strategy to
increase volunteers throughout all services and
departments.
Plans for Future Periods
Mind BLMK is currentLy delivering on a 3-year strategic
plan agreed in 2023. The Strategy was led by the
Board of Trustees and was created by the workforce,
service users and stakeholders to ensure that Mind
BLMK supports the needs of our communitie5 by really

the trustees (who are also the directors of the
charitable company for the purposes of
company law) are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and
for being satisfied that they give a true and

trustees 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 assessin9 the
company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable. matters
related to 90ing concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the
trustees either intend to liquidate the
company or to cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonabLe
assurance
bout 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

aLways
detect
material

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if. individually or in

Audit response to risks
identified
To address the risk of fraud through
management bias and override of controls, we:
-Performed analytical procedures to identify
any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-Tested journaL entries to identify unusuaL
transactions;
-Assessed
whether
judgements
and
assumptions
made
determining the
accounting estimates were indicative of
potential bias; and
-Investigated the rationale behind significant
or unusual transactions.
There are inherent Limitations in our audit
procedures
described above. The more
removed that laws and regulations are from
f inancial transactions, the Less likely it is that
we would become aware of non-compliance.
Auditin9 Standards also Limit the audit
procedures
required to
identify
non-
compliance with laws and re9ulations to
enquiry
of the
directors
and
other
management and the inspection of regulatory
and legaL correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to
fraud can be harder to detect than those that
arise from error as they may involve deliberate
concealment or collusion.
In response to the risk of irregularities and
non-compliance with laws and regulations, we
designed procedures which included. but were
not limited to:
-Agreeing financial statement disclosures to
underlying supporting documentation;
-Reading the minutes of meetings of those
charged with governance; and
-Enquiring of management as to actuaL and
potential litigation and claims
