Report of theTrustees
for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
Strategic Review
Structure, Governance and Management
Solent Mind is governed by a Trustee Board which meets every two months, with Sub Committees having
specified areas of delegated authority; a Finance, Information, Risk & Compliance Subcommittee, the Business
Development Subcommittee and People & Quality Subcommittee.
The Trustees are also Directors of the Cha rity. The Trustees are ultimately responsible for all the operational
activities and developments of the organisation. They have a particular responsibility for setting the strategic
direction and agreeing to and monitoring the impact of policies and practice. There are established systems for
trustee appraisal and trustees use their expertise to link into each service area. Terrns of Reference for the Board
and each Sub Committee are reviewed annually. The responsibilities of managers and staff for day-to-day
operations are set out in Solent Mind's Delegated Authority Procedures.
The Trustees normally allocate an away day twice a year for their own tralning and development. In 2023124, in
the May 2023 meeting included a review of Board Effectiveness Review and Strategy Development session. The
November 2023 meetlng included service user stories, a review of the committee structure and a session to
discuss scenario and scales of ambition. Our AGM took place in November 2023, and changes were agreed to
the Articles of Association to delegate additional decision-making powers to the Board of Trustees who meet
more regularly.
Solent Mind is committed to being a diverse and inclusive charity. We strongly believe that a diverse board can
make better decisions, improve the quality of governance and Sncrease public trust. Board members include both
male and female, a range of ages, lived experience of mental health issues and diverse backgrounds including
BAME. We strive to represent the communities we exist to serve.
A trustee handbook is malntained, covering the role and responsibS1Sties of trustees includlng key organisatlonal
docu ments such as risk management, safeguarding, health and safety and fundraising policies. It is provided to
each new trustee f ollowing appointment. This handbook is updated annually. Trustees sign a Code of Conduct
on joining the board. As part of the induction process. an induction checklist is carried out enabling trustees to
attend key meetings with directors and programme leads, opportunity to attend Solent Mind Induction online
course, provided with information to access Learnzone to attend mandatory training.
Solent Mind is affiliated to Mind, the national mental health charity, as a Local Mind Association, the terms of
this relationship being set out in the Mind Federation Agreement, signed on 1st April 202 1. The latest Federation
Agreement includes an increased emphasis on local collaboration and clarification on working arrangements in
overlapping areas among Local Minds. There is no f inancial or managerial connection beyond the payment of
the membership fee. As with the Community Partnership Agreement, the Federation Agreement with Mind
enables us to determine our own policies and activities locally.
Solent Mind shares broadly the same charitable objects as other Local Mind Associations. Further to the
provisions in the Federation Agreement, Solent Mind also has a Memorandum of Understanding with its
neighbouring Local Minds, Andover Mind and Havant & East Hants Mind and thi5 sets out the shared vision and
values for promoting better mental health to the communities of Hampshire. This supplements the ongoing
collaboration whereby 5olent Mind, Andover Mind and Havant & East Hants Mind have created a Community
Interest Company I" Hampshire M ind CIC'I to jointly deliver mental health services across Hampshire.

Solent Mind
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
Strategic Review (cont.)
Solent Mind takes advantage of Mind publicity, information and training as well as practical measures such as
the block insurance policy. More importantly, Solent Mind joins with Mind and its regional network in national
campaignin8 events and initiatives to support the charitable aims and promote the benefits of the charitable
group.
Risk Assessment:
Solent Mind's Risk Register is reviewed by the Board every 6 months and the Trustees held a workshop session on risk
management in June 2024. This sets out how different initial risks are assessed in terms of probability and impact to
generate a risk score to assess risk significance. For each risk, the control measure and remedial action p13ns are used
to determine and then mitigate the level of residual risk, and for major decisions to assess risk appetite.
Safeguardin8 practice, Data Protection and Public Interest Disclosure Iwhistleblowingl policies are reviewed
each year. All staff undertake online safeguardin8 training in their first few days of employment and this is
supplemented with in-person training at our Induction days which are held every 6 weeks.
Volunteers:
We continue to support our volunteer workforce and during 2023124 have developed our volunteer roles in both Peer
Support and Mayfield Nurseries and Set up new forums to support listening to the voices of our users and build peer
support networks. Over the last year, our volunteers gave around 7,000 hours of volunteering time to support our
services and projects. Many of our volunteers are ex-service users and their ability to progress into volunteering is an
important next step in their own personal recovery. These volunteers are a150 supported with broader communitv
and corporate volunteers, and together, they make a huge impact on the volume and diversity of work we can offer.
Wè are proud of our volunteers, and value enormously the support they offer to both our organi5ation and service
users.
Over 2023124, we have also implemented the changes to our updated volunteer policy as part of the Mind Quality
Mark process and are workin8 to develop this further, so we can continue to develop and expand volunteering levels
across the organisation.
Objectives and Actlvities
The Trustees have considered the Charities Commission on Public Benefit and this is al the heart of everything Solent
Mind delivers.
The objects of Solent Mind as set out in our Memorandum of Association are..

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.

schemes is £132,864 which compares to £965.190 for the prior year.
The operating surplus for the year amounted to £128,901, there were no transfers from reserves,. this
represents 1.0% of Total Incomlng Resources for the year122123 = £960,419 or 8.5% and included transfers
from reserves). The prior year operatin8 surplus also includes release of previously deferred income of
£394k as well as including £434k from new contracts based on flat line pricing which generate surpluses in
early years to offset inflation in later years. These adjustments led to a significantly higher surplus than the
underlying position for the prior year. 2023/24 reflects the actual income position based on in-year
charitable activities.
Solent Mind has seen income levellingoffforTalkingTherapies and Employment. Wellbeinggrowth is linked
to a full year of funding and activitie5. Portsmouth based services and Peer Support services portfolios both
show growth as contracts are being fully delivered this combined with increases in trading income ha5
driven the i ncrease in Net Incoming Resources for the year. Donations and legacies are improved as well as
trading activities. Fu nding for Therapy linked to the Mayfield Nurseries has reduced, with ong.oing activities
being supported from fundraising income.
Mayfield Nurseries transferred into Solent Mind as at 31 December 2023. The Solont Mind strategy brings
tighter links with Solent Mind's Southa mpton based services and strengthens the site's role a5 a Wellbeing

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
Incoming Resources for the Year
Gross income for the group for the year has increased to £12,380,694 cornpared to £11,255,556 in 2022/23.
This is an increase of £1,125,138 or IOQ/o. The principal funding source5 are derived from contract and grant
income which accounts for90Yo or £11,114,51212022123= £10,506,060or 93Dhl ofsolent Mind group's total
income. The majority of funding is through service contracts with NHS and local authorities, which are
typically between one and three years. This provides Solent Mind with financial stability over the medium
term and allows for greater planning certainty and decision making. This also presents a risk as income is
subject to re-tender and this is discussed elsewhere within the report.
Resources Expended
Resources expended for the year totalled £12,247,830 an Increase of £1,957,464 or 19Yo on last year122123
£10,290,366). Charitable Actlvlties expenditure accounted for £11,591,145 of the Solent Mlnd's total
resources expended, this is a small increase in percentage terms at 95% compared to 94% in the prior year.
The i ncrease reflects increased investment in systems and IT Inf rastructure which has been apportioned to
the projects. These investments will support future efficiencies and reportlng to deliver improved services
in the future.
Capltal Expendlture
Solent Mind's group capital expenditure for the year amounted to £17,598 compared to 22123 of £166,004.
Reserves Pollcy
Solent Mind is keenly aware of the need to secure its viability beyond the immediate future. To enable the
charity to provide reliable services or funding over the longer term, Solent Mind must be able to absorb
setbacks and to take advantage of change and opportunitv.
The charity provides for thi5 by maintaining adequate levels of reserves. Where the reseNes can be linked to a
specific purpose, unrestricted reserves are separated into designated fund5. It 15 prudent to set aside reserves to cover
future potentia I liabi lities. As far as possible. the aim is to a Iso have adequate levels of free reserves to be
able to underwrite and makefundsavailable totake advantage ofanyopportunitiesthat may come the way
of the charitv.
Solent M ind's Trustee Board has considered the adequacy of its reserves held on 3 1st March 2024, in line
with its policy to do so on an annual basis following detailed scrutiny and recommendations by its Finance.
Information, Risk and Compliance Subcomm ittee, wh ich itself is guided by the Charity Commission guidance
on charity reserves.
The charity needs reserves to enable it to continue as a going concern. The Trustee Board considers the
reserves held on the balance sheet to be at an adequate level to meet their responsibilities and
commitments, protect and advance it5 cu rrent activitie5 and to enable it to progress its long term ai ms and
objectives as outlined in the Strategic Plan.

Solent Mind
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st March 2024
Funds
Total fur)ds for the Group as at 31st March 2024 are £4,487,369 131 March 2023 = £4,305.9161 of which
£3,702,887 relates to unrestricted funds, £ 152,338 relates to restricted funds and £632,144 relates to
permanent endowment funds.
Unrestricted funds held by Solent Mind total £3,702,887 of which £2,280,138 is held in general reserve
and £415,954 in the revaluation reserve. £661,823 has been designated for particular purposes and a
further £344,972 is held in the general inf rastructure reserve. The general infrastructure reserve is to be
used to cover unforeseen losses in central income used to support Solent Mind's infrastructure.
Restricted funds total £ 152,338, of which £49,042, set aside in a Property Maintena nce Reserve, relates to a
cash donation from MJ8 Charitable Trust to be used specifically for major repairs and improvements on
the properties transferred. £26,748 is held in the Marcella House Legacy Reserve to be used specifically for
the Marcella House Project, £33,861 relates to funds from the mergei with Fareham and Gosport Mind and
is to be used in the Fareham and Gosport area only. £42,686 Is held for other restricted funded projects in
relation to the Wellbeing Centres including Mayfleld Nurseries,
Permanent Endowment funds total £632,144 and this relates donations from the MJB Charitable Trust and
includes three properties that were transferred. Note 22 to the financial statements gives further detail of
these properties and the restrictions and condition.
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.

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.

the year then ended,.

believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relatin8 to golng 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 relatlng to events or conditions

Our opinion on the group financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the group financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the group 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
thi5 regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

SCHEME: TPT Retirement Solutlons- The Growth Plan
The company participates in the scheme, a multi-employer scheme which provides benefits to some 638 non-
associated participating employers. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the
company to obtairn sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme.
Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme.

PENSION COMMITMENTS- continued
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30
December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial
Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit
occupational pension schemes in the UK.
The scheme is classified as a 'last-man standing arrangement,. Therefore the company 15 Potentially liable for
other participating employers, obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme
deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share
of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme.
A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of
£800.3m, liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked
the participating employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows..
Deflclt contributlons
Where the scheme is in deficit and where the company has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the company
recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit reduction
contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit. The present valuè Is calculated using the
discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rate is recognised as a finance cost.
