Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
: To meet its charitable purpose Mind in Kingston delivers its vision and objectives. These aim to provide advice and information regarding mental health and mental health conditions to support people experiencing, or who have experienced, mental health issues to reach their potential within the community; to support people with mental health issues to maintain or improve their mental wellbeing by providing a wide range of community-based and low-to-medium level support; to support people with mental health issues to live as independently as possible in the community; to contribute and collaborate with statutory and voluntary agencies to improve and develop services for those experiencing mental health issues and respond to identified needs. These are underpinned by Mind in Kingston's core values and principles; to ensure the involvement of beneficiaries in the development and improvement of services, ensure their views and those of their families and carers are taken into account and to ensure that beneficiaries are treated with respect and dignity at all times. These objectives are achieved through a variety of activities, centred in and around the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames as follows:
Mental Health Housing Related Support (formerly Floating Support Service):
The Mental Health Housing Related Support Service enabled people to live independently in the local community in a range of different accommodation options that include shared homes and individual accommodation. Mind in Kingston also provided support to people living in their own accommodation (Floating Support). This service is delivered in partnership with Hestia and came to an end at the end of the financial year. Mind in Kingston continues to deliver housing management during the transition.
Drop in Cafés:
Mind in Kingston runs three Drop-in Cafés: The Bridge in Kingston upon Thames, the Star in Surbiton and a virtual Café. The aim of the Drop-in Cafés is to provide a service that is out of hours and that promotes social inclusion, offers low-cost refreshments (except for the virtual café) and non-intrusive and non-stigmatising support. The cafés are open in the evening and weekends when other non-crisis services are closed. There are themed evenings (e.g. games, LGBTQ+, film nights,) as well as regular groups such as Art and Drama workshops and the monthly book group.
Counselling Service:
An out of hours service that provides people in and around the borough of Kingston upon Thames with different counselling tools and techniques to cope with and manage issues such as relationships, family dynamics, work or study pressures, bullying, stress and anxiety. The service is coordinated by a qualified counsellor who assesses new clients, deals with allocations and supervises the counsellors, and it offers remote and face to face sessions.
Placements for counselling are on a voluntary basis. The charity actively encourages students to take up placements, so it can support them to gain vital experience while they qualify. Students must be in at least the second year of their counselling qualification, receiving external clinical supervision and have some client experience prior to starting.
Mental Health Awareness Training :
Mind in Kingston delivers virtual and face-to-face training to increase awareness of mental health issues and combat stigma by providing an understanding of the issues faced by those experiencing mental health issues through education, workshops and presentations, and for participants to take this information and understanding back into their lives. This service for schools and local voluntary organisations and groups is free of charge and for businesses the charity charges a fee.
Advice & Information Service:
Mind in Kingston provides advice and information by telephone, by appointment and via email, and offers to signpost or refer individuals to organisations which may be more suitable to their needs, as well as offering a listening ear to those in distress, or who may want more information about mental health needs. This service is supported by volunteers.
Champions for Change Kingston

MIND IN KINGSTON
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Champions Change Kingston challenges stigma and discrimination in mental health and supports champions (people with lived experience of mental health issues) to speak out about mental health issues, and engage specifically with people who have no, or little experience of mental health issues. Champions run activities to raise awareness, particularly on Time to Talk Day which takes place every February, Mental Health Awareness Week and World Mental Health Day.
Raising Awareness of Mental Health :
Mind in Kingston raises awareness and celebrates a number of mental health awareness days and events throughout the year to improve mental health awareness, promote a positive image of mental health and mental health beneficiaries and to reduce stigma and discrimination. Key dates and events are Time to Talk Day, Mental Health Awareness Week, World Suicide Prevention Day and World Mental Health Day. The charity does this by organising community events which are led by people with mental health issues, such as art exhibitions, live music, readings, workshops and stalls.
Physical & Inclusive Activities for Better Mental Health
Mind in Kingston's physical activity programme offers participants a range of activities such as walking, running, football and fitness classes, to improve their physical and mental wellbeing, with peer support to keep people motivated and involved. We also run a virtual quiz which is open to anyone and offers a fun, social activity with staff providing mental health support.
Alfriston Outreach
Alfriston Outreach provides a wide range of practical and emotional support options to mostly older people that can not necessarily be supported by Adult Social Care or other local organisations. The team provides hot lunches, a laundry service, a shopping service and other support, and runs the Alfriston building in Surbiton, which is the base for its services, as well as rented space to other local organisations, including the Journey Recovery Hub, the mental health crisis prevention service run by Richmond Borough Mind.
Art Therapy Service:
Run by a qualified art psychotherapist, this service offers 4 courses of 8 sessions each throughout the year. Participants are provided with materials and guided through a wide range of art techniques and media to support their emotional wellbeing.
Magpie Project:
The Magpie Project provides mental health support, outreach, activities, and a Drop-in Café for the Korean Community in the borough but is mostly based in New Malden where many of the community reside. Supported by two staff, a counselling assessor, and a counsellor as well as volunteers of Korean heritage, the project aims to reduce mental health stigma, raise awareness of mental health and local mental health services, and offer opportunities to improve mental wellbeing. Funding for this project ceased during the financial year, however we have been able to incorporate learnings from the project into our drop in cafes and have continued Korean language counselling as part of our wider counselling offer.
Kingston Peer Support Service
The Kingston Peer Support Service, which is commissioned by Southwest London and St George's Mental Health Trust, offers one to one support to individuals with severe and enduring mental illness. The service is led by staff with lived experience of mental health issues and delivered in partnership with voluntary sector partners: Kingston Carers Network (KCN), Staywell and the Working Well Trust. While the service is available to all eligible adults, there is a specific focus on young adults, neurodiverse people, older adults, and people from racialised communities.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty set out in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit reporting. The Trustees believe that the activities undertaken by the charity as detailed above constitute the proper provision of public benefit to those people suffering from mental disorders or distress who avail themselves of the opportunities which are offered.
Charges are not made in respect of the services provided and, consequently, there is no financial burden to the users of those services, with the exception of rental charges to the residents of Carisbrooke, and modest and appropriate fees for the counselling service. Rent charged to the residents of Carisbrooke are largely defrayed by residents' welfare benefits.
Volunteers
Mind in Kingston has a growing and dedicated team of volunteers that support the charity by providing their time and skills. As well as supporting services such the Counselling Service, Outreach & Engagement activities, physical activities, the Telephone Advice Line, the Magpie Project, Alfriston Outreach, Champions for Change Kingston, and they support the charity to raise awareness of mental health at community events. Mind in Kingston volunteers undertake a variety of roles and have the opportunity to gain experience and skills and whom the charity assists in pursuing careers or education: in other cases, they remain committed to their role. The services Mind in Kingston provide are enriched by the individual personalities and skills of the volunteers to whom we are deeply grateful.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
In the past year, Mind in Kingston was commissioned by the Royal Borough of Kingston to deliver the Mental Health Support Service. This service brings together much of the community-based work that Mind in Kingston undertakes, ensuring continuity and consistency of delivery. Services incorporated into this new contract include the drop in cafés, counselling services, advice and information and Champions for Change. In addition, Mind in Kingston will is developing three new services under this contract, one to one support delivered to individuals in the community and peers support groups focused on building social connections through learning. Access to these services will be enhanced through a new referrals and assessment function, which will ensure that people receive the right support at the right time.
Mind in Kingston is a member of Mind in London, a network of 18 Local Mind Associations (LMA's) based in London. Mind in Kingston works closely with other LMAs in South West London (Mind in Croydon, Richmond Borough Mind and Central West London Mind). The partnership meets regularly to review its existing services and scope out new projects in South West London.
In 2024/25 Mind in Kingston significantly restructured its staff and leadership team. The charity operates with a Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Operations in its senior leadership team.
The Board of Trustees are supported by three sub-committees (SCs) (Finance, HR, and Marketing & Fundraising) which provide scrutiny, review a wide range of reports and data, ensure they comply with the law and charity guidelines, review risks across all areas of the charity responsibilities and ensure that the Board receives timely, relevant information to help it make decisions and plan for the future. The Sub-Committees also support the board in managing its response emergency procedures, and adapt its contingency plans as needed. The Sub-Committees are chaired by a trustee, and at least two members of staff who specialise in each area.
The trustees highly value the work of the Sub-Committees are grateful for the committees' support and input.
Internal and external factors
Mind in Kingston carefully monitored its income and expenditure during 2024-25 and focused on delivering quality services. In addition, the charity is acutely aware of the cost-of-living crisis which can have a heavy impact on mental health and wellbeing, and it is expected that those on lowest incomes are most affected.
The Board is supported by the Finance Sub-Committee which meets monthly to review and scrutinise the charity's budgets, income and expenditure, cashflow, debtors and creditors and any potential risks.
Diversifying the charity's income remains a high priority for Mind in Kingston. Whilst the majority of income comes from statutory funding, Mind in Kingston continues to apply for grants and raise funds through fundraising activities.

The Board of Trustees planned for a moderate deficit in 2024-25 in line with further investments to grow the core staff team. The Board is intent on increasing its income for the 2025-26 financial year to preserve solvency with further planning to make future investments into the charity to support its internal staff team and develop existing and new services; this is part of the charity's strategy. While the charity continues to ensure maximum support for everyone with a mental health issue, the CEO and senior leadership team are focusing on sustainable funding and diversified income that will support the charity's strategic aims.
The charity's Treasurer, Gerard Doyle, prior to stepping down, who also chairs the Finance Sub-Committee provided scrutiny and oversight of the finances and supported the Board of Trustees to make decisions on financial matters. Together with the Finance Sub-Committee, the Treasurer ensured that the finances are appropriately scrutinised, monthly reports are prepared and reviewed on a regular basis and recommendations are made to the Board to ensure appropriate decisions are made about income, expenditure, and financial management.

Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources of Mind in Kingston are contracts from the Royal Borough of Kingston (RBK), South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust funding and Hestia, grants from the Southwest London Clinical Commissioning Group (SWL CCG), National Mind, BWW Mind (managing further Southwest London & St George's Mental Health NHS Trust funding), NHS Southwest London, donations and small grants together with the residential rents from Carisbrooke, the property managed by Mind in Kingston.
Reserves policy
While Mind in Kingston aspires to have reserves of approximately 6 months of its annual expenditure, it is the charity's intention to maintain a minimum level of at least 4 months' reserves at any time. This is to ensure that the charity has adequate funds to invest in the retaining and developing its staff team, increase capacity and develop new services, and to cover unexpected expenditure including legal costs, compensation and emergencies, and to guard against uninsurable risks and decrease of funding.
In 2024/25 it was necessary to allocate reserves to supporting the transitional arrangements as the charity reviewed and implementing structural changes. This action has led to a lower reserves position than aimed for. The charity is planning towards to increasing reserve levels again towards the policy target.

MIND IN KINGSTON
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees (who are also the directors of Mind in Kingston for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice, the Companies Act 2006 and United Kingdom Accounting 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 that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable 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 charitable company and to 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 auditors are 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 auditors are aware of that information.
The Board acknowledges the difficulties caused by COVID-19 and is spending significant time to create and implement contingency plans to ensure the safety of its employees, volunteers and trustees whilst maintaining and diversifying our services as appropriate. We recognise that the financial year beginning from 1 April 2020 has had and will continue to have a significant impact in the way we operate our services, the way our employees work and, potentially, our fundraising. This will be discussed in more detail in the accounts for the appropriate reporting period.
AUDITORS
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 15.12.25 and signed on its behalf by:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of MIND IN KINGSTON
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of MIND IN KINGSTON (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 (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 2025 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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.
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 charitable company'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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
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 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 the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 11
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of MIND IN KINGSTON
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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 fair view, and for such internal control as the 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 assessing the charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 12
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of MIND IN KINGSTON
Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; - we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
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 in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
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.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from the financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. This is derived from the provision of goods or services and is after trade discounts, if applicable. As a charity, Mind in Kingston is exempt from VAT.
Expenditure
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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Costs include VAT where applicable.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
As explained above, expenditure on charitable activities is allocated to the activities which use those resources. Direct staff costs, other direct charges and the appropriate proportion of central support costs are charged against the activities in which those staff are engaged. Central support costs are allocated to each activity on the basis of time spent by indirect personnel in the supporting of each activity. If costs are incurred from restricted funds, and those costs exceed the available balance of those restricted funds, then the resulting shortfall of restricted funds will be made good, wherever possible, from the balance of unrestricted funds.
Governance costs are those relating specifically to the charity, as distinct from the services provided by the charity, and include the costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Tangible fixed assets
There are no tangible fixed assets, other than minor office equipment. Such assets are written off in the year of acquisition. There is therefore no requirement for depreciation.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the trustees' report.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
The charity does not hold any assets under hire-purchase agreements. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
