TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Structure, Governance and Management

The company is governed by its memorandum and articles of association, which also dictate the procedures for the appointment of trustees.

Objectives and Activities

The charity’s objectives are directed at improving the mental health and wellbeing of Black and racially minoritised communities through the provision of culturally responsive, traumainformed, and holistic mental health services. In setting objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity’s activities continue to deliver clear benefit to the communities it serves.

During the year, the charity delivered a range of community-based mental health services, engagement programmes, research activity, and partnership-led NHS initiatives. These activities were aligned with our strategic priorities and focused on reducing health inequalities, tackling stigma, and improving access to timely and appropriate mental health support.

Strategy and governance development

Early in the year, the charity was honoured to receive a GSK Award, recognising the impact, quality, and innovation of our work. Senior staff attended the awards ceremony in London to accept the award on behalf of the organisation. The Trustees consider this achievement to be a strong external validation of the charity’s effectiveness and reach.

Following this recognition, the Board of Trustees undertook a formal strategic review supported by an external consultant. As part of this process, external partners, paid staff, and volunteers were consulted to ensure that the strategy was informed by community need, lived experience, and professional expertise. This inclusive approach supports good governance and strengthens accountability.

The following mission, aims, and strategic priorities were formally adopted:

Mission

To provide timely, holistic, culturally responsive mental health care for Black and racialised communities across the South West and beyond.

Aim

To challenge stigmas, taboos, and misconceptions surrounding mental health, while addressing inequities and disparities, ensuring inclusive and responsive support that enables individuals and families to thrive.

Strategic Objectives

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Achievements and Performance

The charity continued to deliver culturally responsive services that reduce barriers to mental health support for racially minoritised communities, advancing equality of access and promoting inclusion. Trustees are satisfied that these services provide a clear public benefit by improving access to support, enabling early intervention, and preventing escalation of mental health crises. Outcomes include increased engagement from communities historically underrepresented in mental health services, with positive feedback indicating improved confidence in accessing support.

Despite ongoing financial instability in the wider operating environment, the charity successfully secured service delivery contracts through strategic partnerships. Funding applications also enabled the redesign, renovation, and redecoration of the charity’s premises, alongside improvements to key areas of infrastructure. These enhancements have created an accessible, inclusive, and supportive environment for staff and service users, with wellbeing survey results showing positive outcomes. All activities were delivered while maintaining a sustainable financial position.

Recognising the importance of amplifying the voices of communities often underrepresented in research, the charity secured funding to lead two small-scale research enquiries. Funded by NHS England through the Diverse Research Engagement Network of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG), these projects ensure that diverse perspectives inform health policy and service development, furthering the charity’s commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.

During the year, the charity launched Women of Colour Talk Health, a programme of culturally sensitive and interactive workshops designed to empower women from racially minoritised communities. The programme addresses health inequalities by promoting equality of access to information, enhancing knowledge and confidence, and equipping participants with practical tools to make informed health decisions.

The charity’s Black Men Talk Health programme received a Self Care Award, recognising its success in providing a safe, inclusive space for men of colour to engage in open discussion about health and wellbeing. The programme directly contributes to reducing health inequalities, improving engagement with healthcare services, and fostering peer support networks. Evaluation data indicate increased wellbeing and awareness among participants.

Reserve policy for the year 2024/25

The board feels that it should hold a prudent hedge against fluctuations in income of the equivalent of six month’s salaries and running costs in liquid assets to meet any unforeseen circumstances, this takes account of good practice guidance provided by the Charity Commission. This currently equates to approximately £240,450. The reserves are made up of:

Fixed assets £371,317 Current assets £582,809 Total £954,126

Responsibilities of the Trustees

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the applicable law, regulations and trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102 SORP) issued in July 2014.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102 SORP) issued in July 2014, and applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Charities Act 2011.

Funds structure

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the terms of a specific appeal.

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of income can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income from donations is included when these are receivable, except as follows: i) When the donors specify that the donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods; ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.

Income from grants, where there are performance or service deliverables required by the terms of the grant, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to payment through its performance.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that agree all costs related to the category. Support costs have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both the direct pay and non-pay costs and support costs relating to those activities.

Governance costs

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

Corporation tax

As the company is a registered charity no provision is considered necessary for taxation on income that is exempt under Corporation Tax legislation and that is applied to the charitable objects.
