## **Foreword to Annual Report and Accounts**
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to introduce the Annual Report and Accounts for Kettering Mind for 2023/24.
As well as containing our financial statements, you will also find further information of all the activities we undertake across our three main work streams:
- Supported Accommodation;
- Community and Home Support (across North Northamptonshire); and
- Resource Centre
Here you will find details of the depth and breadth of services we provide and the impact we are making on people’s lives and the community we serve.
Partnerships and collaboration - both formal and informal – are important to us including our Crisis Café services run jointly with Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) together with our Mental Health Navigators (Crisis Pathway) service also run in partnership with NHFT.
We play a full and active role in the Northamptonshire Integrated Care System (ICS) and Managers and staff attend meetings of the Local Area Partnerships (LAPs) as well as the Mental Health Northamptonshire Collaboration (MHNC). We are also represented and attend meetings of the North Northants VCSE ICS Engagement Group.
In May 2023, we were delighted to be awarded the Mind Quality Mark (MQM) following an accreditation visit earlier in the year. MQM is both a framework of good practice and a quality assurance tool, and covers:
- Leadership and Governance;
- Finance and Policies;
- Services and People; and
- Influence and Engagement.
Within these four areas are standards and indicators which provide the infrastructure and governance for all organisations within the Mind Federation to be well governed, financially sustainable and able to thrive in our local communities.
We were delighted to demonstrate either compliance against all of these standards or significant progress towards meeting them. Our thanks go to all staff, service users, tenants and volunteers who contributed to the MQM process.
On page 21 you will also see details of the ‘Local Mind Excellence Awards’ which are a way of recognising the effort, determination and impact of local Minds on their communities. It is a chance to celebrate the amazing skills and talents of the local Mind Network. These awards were open to local Minds who had completed the MQM process between October 2022 – November 2023, and Kettering Mind was ‘Highly Commended’ in two categories.

## **Foreword continued…**
The use of the Mind brand as an affiliated organisation is so much more than a logo or visual identity. The common bond we share is a set of shared beliefs and values which underpin the work we undertake:
- **Open:** we reach out to anyone who needs us
- **Together:** We are stronger in working in partnerships
- **Responsive:** We listen, we act
- **Independent:** We speak out without fear or favour
- **Unstoppable:** We never give up.
As we look back on the previous year, we also look forward to the year ahead.
There are three key priorities we are focussing on:
## **1. Pennels Two**
In February 2024 planning permission was granted for five dedicated flats to be built at 175a Beatrice Road in a project known as ‘Pennels Two’. During the course of 2023/24, a Project Team was established to oversee the planning, design and proposed construction of these new facilities. A ‘Programme of Works’ has been prepared by our Architects which anticipates that the groundworks and associated foundations will commence in March 2025. This is an exciting development for all concerned with Kettering Mind.
## **2. Registered Provider of Social Housing**
Kettering Mind has a strategic ambition of becoming a ‘Registered Provider of Social Housing’. During the course of the year, work was undertaken to complete and submit a preliminary application to the Regulator of Social Housing which was submitted formally in April 2024. We were supported in this process by our colleagues at East Midlands Community Led Housing (EMCLH).
I am pleased to report that, in August 2024, the Regulator confirmed that our application can move beyond the preliminary stage and further focussed work will be undertaken during 2024/25 by the management team and trustees on the necessary governance to support the completion of a Detailed Application.
## **3. Digital Strategy**
Our Digital Development Group met regularly during the year to review and assess the digital needs, practices and priorities of the Charity. We take Information Governance (IG) seriously and have a robust IG Policy in place. We have also published our Data Security and Protection Assessment which allows us to measure our performance and benchmark our data security against the National Data Guardian’s 10 Data Security Standards.
Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
Kettering Association for Mental Health – Kettering Mind
## **Foreword continued…**
However, we recognise that Kettering Mind relies heavily on paper systems and spreadsheets for the storing and reporting of activity and data. One of our key priorities last year was to implement a ‘Customer Relationship Management’ (CRM) System which will strengthen the capture of activity across all our service areas and reduce the reliance of staff on paper based systems.
One of the Improvement Recommendations coming out of the MQM Accreditation Visit was to develop a realistic plan for selecting and implementing a CRM System, and I am pleased to report that our adopted CRM was successfully trialled, piloted and rolled out across all our service areas from April 2024.
On pages 44-47 you will find details of our financial performance for 2023/24 including our statement of financial activities, our balance sheet and the statement of cash flows. Through positive financial stewardship over many years, the Charity is in a strong position financially. We are planning to utilise a significant amount of our reserves to fund the construction costs of Pennels Two which I referred to earlier in my foreword and is one of our key priorities for 2024/25.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all those people who have either donated or raised funds for us during 2023/24. Further details of our Fundraising activities whether that be through, public fundraising, events or our ‘Community Partnership Agreements’ can be found on pages 27-28 of our Annual Report and Accounts. Kettering Mind is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and we are fully compliant with the Code of Fundraising Practice.
All of us at Kettering Mind are hugely grateful to all individuals, community groups or organisations who either donate or fundraise to support the work we do.
Thank you for taking the time to read through our Annual Report and Accounts. At our heart we are a membership organisation as reflected in our Governing document and actively include our members, service users and tenants in our service provision.
I was proud and humbled to be elected Chair in November 2023 and on behalf of the Board of Trustees would like to take this opportunity of thanking all members of staff, and to our volunteers, for their continuing provision of compassionate and professional support to our service users and tenants. I know our hardworking Management Team and dedicated staff continue to strive for improvements in the services we deliver.
Together with my colleague Trustees, we are custodians and stewards of Kettering Mind and l would like to thank them for the time, energy and enthusiasm they bring to their roles. I would also like to thank the Trustees for all they contribute to the life and work of Kettering Mind and to the good governance of the charity.

## Activities, Projects and Services
## Supported Housing
There has been a lot of change in the world of housing over the past few years following the tragedy of Grenfell, and new regulations are coming in. At the heart of this change is the importance of listening to tenants and ensuring their voice is heard. The ultimate goal is to improve quality and safety within homes. Understanding what really matters to tenants is key to having the biggest impact on improving satisfaction levels.
During 2023-2024 we delivered:
**4 Tenant Newsletters**
And facilitated:
**60 House Meetings 4 Tenant Forums 8 Tenant Socials** (Within the houses) (At Kettering Mind) (At Kettering Mind)
Kettering Mind are always exploring new ideas for tenant engagement where service performance and satisfaction can be monitored and where Kettering Mind can be held to account if performance falls below expectations. Supported housing exists to make sure everyone in our communities can live their best life, whatever their circumstances. House meetings, quarterly tenant forms, newsletters and socials, along with the annual tenant satisfaction questionnaire continue to shape the supported housing and address the needs of tenants.
## **- The Housing Sub Committee (HSC)**
The HSC is a sub-group of Kettering Minds Board of Trustees. It is formed to oversee and guide the management and development of the Charity’s housing stock and to monitor the standards of care provided to the tenants of owned, leased and managed residential properties. During the year there were 6 housing sub-committee meetings, tenant representation was present at 4 of these meetings. Developing representation on this sub-committee is of key importance and something the charity is striving to improve over the coming year.
The table below shows the number of tenants each project can accommodate if at full capacity.

## Pennels - Rehabilitation
Pennels rehabilitation service has been operating for 9 years. It opened officially in May 2015 after undergoing extensive refurbishment. In January 2024, the HMO (House of Multiple Occupancy) licence was renewed for a further 5 years, granted by NNC.
Pennels rehabilitation service was set up to help individuals recover from the difficulties of longer-term mental illnesses / mental health problems. Support packages up to 18 months, enable intensive rehabilitation plans, co-produced with the tenants to identify, plan for and regain skills to live as independently as possible. The difficulties with living with a longer-term mental health problem can mean that individuals need support to adjust and recover, while accepting that they may still have serious difficulties which may need continuing help and support, once they feel ready to move on.
Since opening in 2015, we have helped 35 tenants through Pennels rehabilitation During 2023-2024, 10 individuals benefited from living here, and the occupancy rate was 87% (2022–2023 64%, 2021–2022 72%)
## **Tenant satisfaction**
In October 2023 we conducted a satisfaction survey based on the Tenant Satisfaction Measures that the Regulator of Social Housing Introduced in April 2023. It covers important areas like repairs, complaints and how well tenants are kept informed about things that matter to them. 83% of questionnaires were completed and returned. At the Forum in the same month the results were published and shared. These are a few of the results:
-
- **95** % 95% of respondents agreed with the statement ‘Kettering Mind treats me fairly and with respect’
## **90** %
- 90% of respondents felt the support is tailored to their needs.

## Outreach – Mind ‘on the road’ (connect, campaign and train)
Trustees designated reserves to increase the public profile of Kettering Mind. This happened through the delivery of a programme of engagement activities, campaigning, training and outreach work within the local community.
The purpose was to connect and build strong partnerships with other local organisations, community groups and underrepresented or marginalised communities. To breakdown stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health by promoting positive attitudes, awareness and understanding.
Over the year lots of great work has been happening. We took mental health information, advice and support direct out ‘on the road’.
The outreach service has been delivered through drop-ins, presentations, training (anxiety, stress, mental health etc.), 1-1 chats, signposting, attending community events and being proactively involved in the Local Area Partnerships (LAP’s) and present in the heart of the local communities.
We have supported teachers, parents, students, workers, managers, volunteers, and members of the public.

## **Tenant Forums**
Tenant involvement has always played a big role in how we shape, monitor and deliver the housing support services at Kettering Mind, primarily through individual reviews and house meetings. There were 4 tenant forums during the year, it was a chance for us to share organisational news, promote tenants’ rights, and listen to what really mattered to tenants.
These were some of the topics and discussions:
- Fire safety – know your escape route
- Green champions – delivering initiatives across the houses
- Strangers at the door – home safety
- Complaints – what to do if you have one
- Mind quality Mark
- Core values and principles that underpin supported accommodation
- Core responsibilities of the workers who come and see you.
- Partnership working – how can we creatively work together to support you to live your best day, when you are not particularly feeling good in yourself and would rather not see a worker or do e.g. the washing?
- The introduction of a new CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software
- What stops you from asking for what you want or need?
- Planning holidays and social ‘meet ups’, as a result of the tenants social club was formed and so far has included a quiz, games afternoon, bingo and board games, pool, darts, Christmas carols, disco, dinner and a local walk.

## Forums continued
**Volunteer Forums**
These forums were the last to be established, recruitment has been a priority throughout the year. Volunteers wanted to use these forums as a chance to get to know each other, and to be updated on what’s going on in the resource centre. 3 forums were held during the year.
## Mind Quality Mark (MQM)
The Mind Quality framework provides assurance that the Mind federation is made up of well run, sustainable organisations delivering life changing support for people with, or at risk of developing mental health problems.
The framework ensures that the core values of Mind, where the voices of people with lived experience of mental health problems underpin and inform everything we do, are lived out every day.
The MQM is both a framework of good practice and a quality assurance tool. Local Minds are expected to meet or be working towards the MQM standards at all times to ensure that Mind’s reputation is safeguarded and that support for people with mental health problems is safe and effective. Every organisation is reviewed every three years.

## **About the Local Mind Excellence Awards**
The Local Mind Excellence Awards are a way of recognising the effort, determination and impact of local Minds on their communities. It is a chance to celebrate the amazing skills and talents of the local Mind network. These awards were open to local Minds who had completed MQM in the period October 2022 to November 2023.

## **Federation First -** is how we work better together.
## **Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Mind (LLR)**
We know locally that we are stronger together and can achieve more by working more closely. We recognise the expertise, knowledge, and experience within other local Minds across the federation. Only together can we tackle the scale of the UK mental health crisis.
The Mind brand is important to get the message across, coverage across England and Wales is key to the reach of the Federation.
The Kettering Mind Chair has been representing Kettering Mind as a corporate trustee for LLR alongside neighbouring Mind organisations, as part of their governance and development journey.
There are around 100 local Minds and through being affiliated to National Mind, ensure they deliver mental health services to anyone who needs them.
Each local Mind is unique. They understand the needs of their community and they tailor their services to match.
As well as delivering services, Kettering Mind:
- Helps to plan local mental health services
- Campaigns on local mental health issues and join in with national campaigns
- Changes attitudes towards mental health in their area
The use of the Mind brand as an affiliated organisation is so much more than a logo, or a visual identity. What underpins these things is a set of shared beliefs and values.

## **Achievements and Performance** Outcomes to date
## Achievements against objectives set
## 1. 175a Beatrice Road garage site development
New plans were submitted to NNC for 5 flats and 5 parking spaces in July 2022. The decision was made February 2024, where the application was approved.
## 2. Registered Housing Provider
The working group met regularly and gathered supporting evidence in preparation for the preliminary application to be submitted. East Midlands Community Led Housing (external consultants) have continued to support the Charity with the action plan tasks. Becoming a registered provider is a serious undertaking – together with advantages there are obligations that must be met. The preliminary application form was submitted in April 2024 (post year-end) so the process of meeting the initial eligibility criteria has started. In order to proceed to the full Registered Housing Provider application, the preliminary application needs to be approved by Regulator of Social Housing.
## 3. Kettering Mind outreach service
This past year has been one where we have embedded our visibility and presence in the community. We are proactively involved in partnership working through engaging in local groups and services, taking Mind’s information, support and campaigns ‘on the road’, and being an active voice in the Local Area Partnerships (LAP’s). The LAP’s respond to identified local needs and deliver outcomes from the Northamptonshire Integrated Care Partnership Strategy and Local Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy
## 4. Digital Strategy
The Charity tested different Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and one has been chosen to be rolled out across all the different service areas from April 2024. The Digital Development group meet regularly to assess and review the digital needs of the charity, and digital practices. The Cyber Essential certificate of assurance was renewed along with Kettering Mind publishing our Data Security and Protection assessment. This toolkit allows us to measure our performance against the National Data Guardian’s 10 data security standards. Contribution made b volunteers y Volunteers add value, skill, motivation and a friendly welcoming to others and most importantly the time to ‘just be’ with people. During this past year ‘time with people’ has mainly been through virtual groups, or bespoke roles utilising their talents to support the charity in other valuable ways. Last year the total volunteer hours on average was **53** per week. (2022-2023 average hours per week was 27) ~~—~~ Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024

## Fundraising Approach
The need for our work continues to increase, even more so in the current context. This year, our approach to fundraising included:
## **Public fundraising**
- Raising funds from members of the public and supporters who make one-off or regular donations.
- Working with people who make donations by participating in events such as marathons and other sponsored activities,
- Working with people who choose to donate, or enlist others to support Mind, in memory of a loved one who has died.
## **Community Partnership fundraising**
The Community partnership with Kettering Mind is more than just a way to fundraise, it is a commitment and desire to:
- Support good mental health and wellbeing in the workplace and in the local community
- Identify the type of local impact we can make together
- Work collaboratively with Kettering Mind to engage in a plan of action, which will work towards good social outcomes that deliver value to both parties
The outreach worker generated interest with organisations wanting to sign up as partners. During the year Kingsley Academy, DHL and Hall Meadow Primary signed up.
Harniss Building Services Solutions have continued to fundraise for Kettering Mind
## **Fundraising and Events**

## **Financial Review**
## Review of financial position
## Review of financial position (continued)
Total income for the year increased by £146,094 to £1,134,132
Income from donations and legacies increased by £27,298, and income from charitable activities increased by £133,861 to £1,031,985
Other trading activities income increased by £473 during the period to £4,552.
The income from the listed investment portfolio increased from £39,684 to £56,847.
Other income has decreased by £32,701 to £239. Other income in 2023 included £31,793 which related to the revision of a liability to repay grant income. Further details are set out in the notes to the accounts.
During the year ended 31 March 2023 the markets took a hit with the unstable political situation across the world, particularly in Ukraine, impacting cost of living fuel costs and the housing market.
The financial markets have recovered over the period to 31 March 2024.
An unrealised gain of £213,274 (2023: unrealised loss of £95,359) and loss on the sale of investments of £3,323 (2023: loss of £7,664) have been recognised in the financial statements.

## Reserves Policy
Total funds at 31 March 2024 were £3,212,855 including restricted funds of £1,378 and unrestricted designated funds of £767,510, further details of which are included in the notes to the financial statements.
The charity's policy is to maintain general reserves to give financial stability to the charity and to its activities.
After allowing for funds of £638,729 represented by tangible assets, free reserves in unrestricted funds at 31 March 2024 were £2,572,748
In previous periods, unrestricted funds were earmarked for long-term investment, and classified as fixed assets accordingly. The value of these investments, and subsequent additions, is now £1,779,003 and their purpose, in the current climate of local authority cut backs and budgetary pressures, is to provide long-term protection against a decline or interruption of future income. The charity is now operating in an environment of financial uncertainty, characterised by mental health policy changes, more competitive tendering, potential changes in the tendering process and the award of shorter term contracts.
## Reserves Policy (continued)
Free reserves excluding the amount invested, and excluding those designated funds of £49,999 not relating to fixed assets, totalled £743,746 (2023: £692,834).
Trustees have developed a policy whereby free reserves, which are those funds not invested in tangible assets, long-term investments and restricted funds, should be approximately two years of the expenditure on core activities, which equates to approximately £650,000 - £700,000 in general funds.
At this level, it is considered that the reserves would be adequate to enable the Trustees to manage the effect of a shortterm withdrawal of funding, giving time to look at alternative sources of funding and review activities.
Free reserves are above target level at 31st March 2024.
As the Charity plans to build 5 properties, free reserves outside the reserves policy will be made available for furthering the aims of the charity in developing supported accommodation for individuals with enduring mental illnesses.
The investment of general reserves is planned as a safeguard to ensure continuity in the provision of the charity's core services. These services are considered by many beneficiaries to be an integral part of their day to day lives and to have to withdraw or cut back services with little or no notice could cause real hardship.

## Principal funding source
During the year the principal funding source of the charity continued to be by way of grant and contract income from NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board and NNC Adult Social Care
## Investment policy
The memorandum allows the investment of monies of the charity not immediately required for its purposes in or upon such investments, securities or property as may be thought fit, subject nevertheless to such conditions and such consents as may be imposed or required by law. Investments will follow National Mind investment guidelines, avoiding investment in companies manufacturing pharmaceuticals.
## Investment policy (continued)
The market value of the portfolio at 31st March 2024 was £1,779,003 (2023: £1,550,057).
The main objective for reserves held for the shorter term is to preserve capital value with a minimum level of risk and to ensure availability for unexpected funding
requirements. These funds are held in the low risk environment of bank and building society accounts.
Also the Trustees will ensure that social, environmental and ethical concerns are considered.
The overall goal of the charity's investment policy is to reduce reliance on external funding and to provide a means of financing special projects to further the charitable activities of Kettering Mind in future.
Therefore the main investment objective for the long- term reserves is capital growth with the aim of ensuring that they are not eroded by inflation.
There is no immediate income requirement from these funds which have been invested in a portfolio under the discretionary management of Quilter Cheviot.

## Risk Management
Kettering Mind reviews risks on an ongoing basis through our Board of Trustees, Subcommittees and the Management team. These groups manage ongoing risks and identify new risks. We consider the impact and likelihood of every risk and give particular attention to the management and mitigation of the most severe risks.
Our risk management processes and the organisational risk register are audited by two trustees. Internal control measures are reviewed, documented and reported to the wider board of trustees. The risk register is continuously reviewed and, where appropriate, revised to capture the tolerance of the risk appetite and to indicate whether risks are accepted, mitigated, or eliminated.
Risks are divided into key areas covering: Workforce, contracts, health & safety, information governance, financial, assurance, board of trustees, communication and housing.
By managing risk effectively, trustees can ensure that significant risks are identified and monitored, enabling informed decisions and appropriate action.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
## Plans for future periods
## 175a Beatrice Road
- We are focussed on progressing the development forward of 5 new builds, having received full planning permission in February 2024. This is a huge undertaking for the charity, and will run alongside the registered housing provider application, but is not dependent upon the outcome. The build cost will be approximately 1.4 million pounds, and will be a mixture of reserves and loans.
## Registered Housing Provider
- To submit the Preliminary application to the Regulator of Social Housing to become a registered housing provider. If successful at this stage and trustees consider it in the best interest of Kettering Mind to continue, then to submit the full application.
## Digital Strategy
- To continue the roll out of the new CRM across the different service areas of the organisation

## Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The Board of Trustees, who are also the directors of Kettering Association for Mental Health for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Board of Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any
- material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
- presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Board of Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable 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 audit 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## Independent Auditor’s Report
To the members of Kettering Association for Mental Health
## Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kettering Association for Mental Health (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March
- 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- [have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted ] Accounting Practice; and
- 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 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.

## Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
To the members of Kettering Association for Mental Health
## Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report
## Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Board of Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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.
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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
- the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial
- statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law is consistent with the financial statements; and
- [the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance ] with applicable legal requirements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 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; or
- [the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; ] or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the Board of Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in
- accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies'
- exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
## Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the Board of Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, 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 the Board of 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 Board of 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 Board of Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
To the members of Kettering Association for Mental Health
## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
## Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

## Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
To the members of Kettering Association for Mental Health
## Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:
- [Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential ] litigation and claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a
- direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection;
- [Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to ] assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating
- the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
Kettering Association for Mental Health – Kettering Mind
## Notes to the financial statements
## 1. Accounting policies
## **Charity information**
Kettering Association for Mental Health is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales.
The registered office is 49 - 51 Russell Street, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN16 0EN, United Kingdom
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The company's accounts present information about it as an individual undertaking.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Board of Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Board of Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Board of Trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Kettering Association for Mental Health – Kettering Mind
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
## 1. Accounting policies - continued
## **1.4 Incoming resources**
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations and gifts are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Grants which represent contributions to projects not yet started at the balance sheet date are treated as deferred income. Contributions received from
beneficiaries are taken as income upon receipt.
Detailed records of associated expenses and any unspent cash balances are maintained. Income recognised from the sale of services under contract is classified as unrestricted funds when the contract does not require the return of any unspent income.
Investment income is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity.
## **1.5 Resources expended**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Allocation of governance and other support costs
Support costs have been differentiated between governance and support costs and other support costs, Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and

## **1.5 Resources expended (cont.)**
its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to audit together with an apportionment of staff, overhead and support costs relating to Trustee meetings. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in the notes to the accounts.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of minor additions or those costing below £250 are not capitalised. The charity has legal ownership of the properties it occupies but were previously held by the North Northamptonshire Association for Mental Health. These were as follows:
49 - 51 Russell Street, Kettering 98 Kingsley Avenue, Kettering
The properties have been included in the accounts at the net book values attributed to them in the accounts for the Kettering Branch of the North Northamptonshire Association. These were derived principally from directors' valuations at 31 March 1996.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
## **Freehold land and buildings**
2% of acquisition value per annum
**Equipment, furniture and fittings** 20% of cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation is not provided on assets in the course of construction / not in use until they are brought into use by the charity.
## **1.7 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.
Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

Kettering Association for Mental Health – Kettering Mind
## Notes to the financial statements (continued)
## 1. Accounting policies - continued
## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
## **1.10 Financial Instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## **1.10 Financial Instruments** (cont.)
## **Basic financial assets**
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## **Basic financial liabilities**
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
## 1. Accounting policies - continued
## **1.10 Financial Instruments** (cont.) **1.12 Retirement benefits**
## **Basic financial liabilities (cont.)**
Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **1.13 Government Grants**
## **Derecognition of financial liabilities**
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.11 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
## 2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Board of Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The significance of financial instruments to the ongoing financial sustainability of the charity is considered in the financial review and investment policy and performance sections of the Trustees' Report.
The main risk to the charity from financial instruments lies in the uncertain investment markets. The charity has an investment policy aimed at providing long term growth in the value of its listed investment portfolio rather than immediate income requirements therefore the volatility of yields is of lower importance.
The listed investment portfolio comprises both UK and overseas equities and other investment funds, therefore there is a performance risk from overseas markets and their exchange rates.
The charity manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges.

## **Mental Health Navigator**
As part of the Mental Health Northants Collaboration (MHNC) the mental health navigation team provides support in the community to help people improve their general wellbeing.

## **Beneficiary activities**
Monies are collected from beneficiaries to partly fund day excursions, activity holidays and similar activities.
## **Fundraising / donations**
From time to time funds are raised from events or appeals for a specific purpose.
## **Adult Social Care Infection Control**
As part of a government funded initiative local authorities were provided with funds to distribute to local adult social care providers to reduce the rate of coronavirus transmission within and between care settings, in particular by helping to reduce the need for staff movements between sites.
At 31 March 2023 the charity had made full provision for the known amounts repayable under the terms of the grant and therefore the cash balance on the fund of £32,997 was transferred to unrestricted funds. These amounts repayable were repaid in the current year.
## **Mental Health Productivity Pilot**
During the previous year the charity received a grant of £11,295 from National Mind to pilot a project supporting employees' mental health in the workplace.
At 31 March 2023 the charity had fulfilled its obligations under the terms of this funding, and the balance on the fund was therefore transferred to unrestricted general funds.
