ACHIEVEMENf AND PERFORK4NCE
Charitable Activities
Darlington Mind Limited offered irtdividual supp)rt to 756 service usets in Darlington. South of County Durham. Hambleton
and Richmondshire.
The Covid-19 pandemic limiied access lo our services and badly affeded our income. Funding from donations, our 5UPPQrted
living scheme and paid for Services were reduced. OUT ¢OSts also 5ignifJcanily inve&8ed including si8nificant repairs on our
own properti¢5 and reorganisation because of the closure of our MHSOP (Dementia Lhy Care). All th¢s¢ result¢d in a
significant op¢raiional loss for the charity in the year ended 31 March 2021. This included restructuring of the workforce and
sadly we had to make several of our colleague5 redundant It a w51 of £16.OCKI. We are therefore doing considerably more
work with fewer sthff.

eff¢ctiveness of services being delivered and io discontinue any service which can no longer be delivered in an eificient and
eff¢¢tive rnanner. TTUSt¢e$ recently reviewed and amended its Financiai Regulations and will continue to ensure good
gov¢rnanc¢.
Investment income arises from capital and intere5t-b¢aring dep)5it a￿o￿Trts as w¢ll from inv¢51ment Properties which have
been purchas¢d ovw recent y¢ar5. Income is used io invest in resrricted and unrestricted fjjnds that are not expected to be
required during the d¢posit ￿riod. Inieres¢ received on our reserves has been low due to the present markei position.
Darlington Mind Limited TrU￿ee$ will %¢k to Use its re5erv¢s appropriately whilst still reducing our risk profile in the fiJNre
where prudence andcareful considerdlion justify IL including the development of joint ventu￿5 and th¢ purchase of addiiional

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Re5¢rves policy
Th¢ Executiv¢ artin8 as tru5t¢¢5 have r¢vi¢w¢d the charity's need5 for r¢5eryes in line with the guidmce issues by th¢ Charity
Commission and have agreed that financial r¢serves (the "Emergency Operating Reserve"
EOR) should be held for the
following purp)ses.'
Income from statutory bodie5 is from a'call otT contracL This inevithbly presents cth- flow issues and incom¢ from these
sources will need to be carefully monitored to ¢n5ure itdi)es not result in th¢ charity experiencing serkous liquidity issues
in the futur¢. lrt addition. the charity is conscious of Teducing local authority budgets and a squeeze on fimding for adult
$ocial car¢. This r¢sulted in a considerabl¢ loss of inc4Jme over the la￿ three years, and we predict fvrth¢r falls in the
Sjtrjre.
Income from our NHS ¢onlr8rt5 with th¢ Sui¢id¢ Prevention ProiecL hav¢ rtot increased in real ternis for more than
fiye year5- th¢y are therefore worth considerably less and yet demand of the servirxs has tncreased over the saTn¢
period.
DaTlington Mind receives r¢ntyl and housing benefit prtsnium from the local authority for its 27 housing units which
¥re ￿¢up]e￿ by people with menial health issues. Due to the inevitsble fluctuation of o¢¢upancy the charity must
