Solent Mind Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2024 Rlsks and Future Challenges 2023124 has been a year of consolidation following a period of growth. The demand for mental health support and services continues to grow in a period where funding has started to be constrained as funders try to recover the additional costs needed during the COVI D19 crisis. Solent Mind has had to focus on improving its systems and finding ways to improve service efficiencies and support the service user needs a new and more efficient ways. During the year Solent Mind has invested in a new Finance system, upgrades to the HR and Payroll and has an ongoing project to implement a new Customer Relationship Management ICRMI system to improve its delivery and reporting of delivery to service users. The benefits of these system investments will be delivered for many years. A number of contracts to deliver our services have been extended, but this means the servlces will be set for re- tender in the near future, with many service contracts likely to be renewed at the same time. Funding cut5 and changes within our main stakeholders mean that the new services required may be packaged differently from our current contracts. To optimise successful continuation of our services we will need to be flexible and dynamic to secure ongoing funding and to expand into new services, We believe we have built strong relationships with our funders and stakeholders to support our ongoing delivery of services. We continue to work with our funders to ensure our effective delivery of service integrates with the connected services. With our Talking Therapies contract this has included careful workforce planning and the delivery of trained staff with career pathways into related services including the NHS step three services. Our funding for Wellbeing services from Hampshire County Council is expected to reduce and we have worked creatively to identify ways to ensure continuity of the Wellbeing support can continue if possible to support the same volume of demand from service users. Events occurrln8 slnce the year end Our Board of Trustees have benefited from the experienced leadership of the Chair and Treasurer for the past six years. both postholders have now stepped down f rom the Board. This is an exciting opportunity to bring in new knowledge, experience and ideas, but also challenging to lose the knowledge and wisdom that has guided Solent Mind through the challenges and opportunities of the recent years. A new Treasurer, John Carter, has been appointed and the new Chair Claire Lowe will take over in November 2024.

Reserves Pollcy Solent Mind is keenly aware of the need to secure its viability beyond the immediate future.

Note 21 to the accounts provides more detail of all the reserves held by Solent Mind and the movements within the year for these reserves. Whilst the accounts show growth in 2023124 compared to 2022123, it is clear that this growth has now levelled out. During 2023124 budgeted growth for Talking Therapies was halted and actions were taken to reduce costs whilst still maintalning long term workforce planning. Funding for Peer Support based in GP surgeries saw growth constrained bv funder decisions. Hampshire County Council also announced plans to cut their funding for Wellbeing Services. In all case5 5olent Mind has worked pro-actively with our funders and creatively to minimise any impact on service users. Solent Mind works with its staff and lived experience networks and NHS colleagues to identify opportunities to improve services and share best practice. Solent Mind continues to adapt its service to meet the needs of its community and the funding opportunities to deliver its charitable aims. The new strategy developed during 2023124 and launched in J une 2024 sets out our aims to deliver our new purpose. Action5 include investing in a CRM system, growing our volunteer networks and increasing our fundraising including gifts in kind from our incredibly supportive network ol corporate supporters. Solent Mind has benefitted from being largely funded by local authority and NHS contracts, with some funders having extended contracts beyond the original tendered contractual periods. This now presents a risk to Solent Mind as these services are re-tendered and the funders are seeking to make cost savings as the economy continues to recover from the impact of Covid and other issues. However, our approach to partnership working and long-term workforce planning to Increase the number of qualified mental health professionals in the region a150 provides career pathways into many N HS roles where there are national labour shortages, should place Solent Mind in a strong posltion to ensure long and flourishing relationships. 14
Solent Mlnd Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2024 Investment Policy The Finance, Information. Risk and Compliance Subcommittee does not consider it prudent at thi5 Stage to invest income for the longer term. Its policy for investment is therefore to retain funds as cash and place them on bank deposit at the best rate obtainable. The Treasury Management policy sets out the board's approach. Going Concern The accounts for 2023124 have continued to show the strong and continued relationships with partner institutions across the Hampshire region. The success of these partnerships is evidenced in the impact that Solent Mind is having on so many lives across our portfolio of services. The accounts demonstrate the ongoing funding relationships for the activities of Solent Mind. The risks relating to future funding of contracts being subjecl to regular tenders with NHS Trusts and local government bodies are understood. As discussed in the earlier section on Risks and future challenges, existing services are expected to be retendered in thls upcoming period. Additional resource has been identified to support the tender process and to consider the potentlal outcomes scenarios and risk mitlgations which may be necessary for a range of funding outcomes. The Trustees believe that Solent Mind can demonstrate its Going Concern status based on the portfolio of ongolng activities and contracts in place and the existing reserves held in the balance sheet backed up by assets including cash funds held in the bank. The ongoing strategy includes ambitious plans to continue lo support the mental health and wellbeing of the Hampshire region as well as actions in place to monitor and control costs to align these with the levels of income generated each year. With continued inflationary pressure on expenditure, Solent Mind is working through a cost improvement plan as well as taking actions to Improve its IT system5 including planned investments in its Finance and CRM systems. These actions have been included In an updated budget for 2024125 and outline budget for 2025126. Fundralslng Standards Informatlon Solent Mind is keen to ensure all its fundraising activities align with relevant fundraisin8 Buidance and regulations including the Charities Commission and the Fundraising Regulator. There is no use of professional fundraisers and no current commercial participators to support our fundraising. The independent Board of Trustees provide support and guidance to ensure our fundraising activities meet the required standards. There have been no incidences in the year where our f undraising has not complied with these requirements and there have been no complaints in relation to fundraising. As a charity committed to supporting mental health our services aim to support and protect vulnerable people and as such there is no active fundraising targeting vulnerable people. There are no telemarketing campaigns nor actions that could intrude on any individual's privacy and we do not employ any persistent approaches to fundraising or place pressures to donate. Disabled Employees Solent Mind is committod to being a fair employer ar)d takes full and fair consideration of the needs of disabled persons. This is considered from the application process which considered aptitudes and abilities through to the employment of disabled persons. Any stafl becoming disabled are supported and their needs responded to in supporting continued employment. 50Sent Mind is a150 committed to the training, career development and promotion of otjr disabled staff. 15
