Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Board presents its annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Structure, governance and management

Constitution

Manchester Mind is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17 April 2003 and registered as a charity on 11 February 2004. The charity is governed by its memorandum and articles of association, which outlines its objects and powers.

The charity was originally established as the Hulme Advocacy and Research Project (then Health Advocacy Research Project) under a written constitution in 1989. In 2011, the charity changed its name to Manchester Mind on becoming an affiliate member of the national Mind network.

In the event of the charity being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount of £1. As at 31 March 2023, the charity had 92 members.

The charity had a subsidiary, Good Mood Food Catering Limited (GMF, company number 05391417), which was established as a company limited by guarantee on 14 March 2005. GMF provided outside catering services until its trade and assets of GMF were transferred to Manchester Mind on 1 April 2017. It previously reported quarterly on its activity and financial performance to the Finance Sub-Committee and the Board. GMF remains dormant.

The Board

The Board comprises a minimum of three Directors with no maximum. As at 31 March 2023 there were 9 Directors on the Board.

The Directors are responsible for decisions regarding strategic direction and policy formation. Day-to-day management of the charity’s affairs is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer and management team including the Operations Director, Finance Manager and People and Wellbeing Manager who follow a scheme of delegation set out in the terms of reference. The trustees meet quarterly and delegate oversight to 4 sub-committees.

Sub-Committees

The Trustees have a system of Sub-Committees which enables greater oversight of finances, operations, governance strategy and risk and finally people and wellbeing.

There is also a Remuneration Committee made up of the Chair, Treasurer, one Trustee and the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee meets when required if a pay rise is to be discussed. The Charity has in the past informally aligned itself with NJC pay scales, however, last year awarded a pay rise of 3% which was less than the agreement for NJC. This was because 3% was deemed affordable by the trustees. If an inflationary increase is proposed this is initially reviewed as part of the Finance-Sub-committee to assess affordability, with a recommendation made to the Trustees or the Remuneration Committee for further consideration. The Committee also considers any other changes to salary such as spine point increases or any special salary rates that don’t align with NJC scales. All

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

requests are investigated and benchmarked against other roles and a report is submitted to the Remuneration Committee for consideration.

There is provision to set up working groups to deal with other issues that arise and require greater scrutiny.

These sub-committees provide a forum for more detailed review and discussion of relevant issues drawing on the specific expertise of members. Each sub-committee has terms of reference, which sets out any delegated authorities as well as matters where the committee will make recommendations for the Board’s approval. Each sub-group comprises of selected trustees and members of staff and senior managers. Each sub-group is provided with a report provided from staff, so that services, performance and finances can be reviewed and receive oversight.

All committees met quarterly. This year the remuneration committee did not meet at all.

Appointment of Directors

Directors are appointed by ordinary resolution or at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.

At the AGM, one third of Directors must retire from office but can be put forward for re-appointment.

Appointments to the roles of Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer are by vote at the AGM.

We aim to recruit trustees from a diverse range of backgrounds with the skills and knowledge the Board needs. This includes young trustees, trustees from BAME backgrounds and trustees with lived experience of mental health services who together can use their experiences to help the charity meet service users’ needs. We started a recruitment process in December 2022. New trustees attended their first board meeting in June 2023.

Directors’ induction and training

On appointment, Directors receive an induction pack consisting of:

New directors are invited to meet staff and visit our projects to build their understanding of the charity. We also assign a mentor from the existing Board to provide additional one-to-one support.

Directors have an annual appraisal and are encouraged to attend appropriate external training.

There is a trustee away day usually held yearly.

There is also an additional board meeting which is specifically to review strategy.

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

National Mind network

Manchester Mind is an independent charity, free to provide services in line with its objectives and the needs of service users.

Manchester Mind also enjoys the benefits of being an affiliate member of the national Mind network, as such Manchester Mind signs up to the community partnership agreement and regular review against the Mind Quality Standards (MQM). We also need to align to the brand guidelines.

Partnerships

In 2022/23, Manchester Mind continued to work collaboratively in a number of partnerships, including:

Big Manchester with Barnardo’s; Home Start Manchester; CGL and Pankhurst Trust incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid – the partnership work increased during the year as Big Manchester expanded from its original area of North Manchester to provision in South Manchester.

Manchester Volunteer Advice Partnership continued to operate with Cheetham Hill Advice Centre, Manchester Refugee Support Network and Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit.

We worked with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust in a number of ways: in the delivery of community services within the Community Mental Health Teams; in supporting the discharge of people being discharged from Community Services and supporting the delivery of Improving Physical Health checks across the GMMH footprint.

We also work together with our colleagues within the local mind’s working across Greater Manchester. In early 2023 we were successful in our bid to the Department of Health Women’s Reproductive Health Fund. We are delivering projects within the workplace to support women who are experiencing the impact of the menopause.

We have continued to work with 42nd Street, Mind in Salford and Self Help Services in the delivery of an Integrated Community Response Service to young people which is now mainstreamed.

With 42nd Street and a range of other providers to deliver M-Thrive – in particular delivering mental health support in schools and Manchester Mind delivered across 8 schools in Manchester.

And finally we have worked with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust and colleagues within the VCSE on developing a new mental health provision – Manchester Living Well – we are hoping this will be up and running later on in 2023

Objectives and activities

Purpose

Manchester Mind’s purpose as set out in the memorandum and articles of association is:

To promote the preservation of mental health and to assist in relieving and rehabilitating persons suffering from mental disorder or conditions of emotional or mental distress requiring advice or treatment

To promote the study of and research into mental health disorder and emotional or mental distress, and to obtain and make records of and disseminate to the public the useful results of such research and to educate the public in matters relating to mental health

Strategic aims

Our strategic plan moved into its third and final year

Creating a space where mental health comes first through increasing access to and the breadth of services that are responsive to the mental health needs of the people of Manchester.

For the next year we continue to organise our work under three areas:

In addition, we will continually work to improve our governance and internal systems to ensure we have a strong, sustainable and well-governed charity with excellent support for all our staff and volunteers.

A business plan for each year will focus in on current priorities.

We will also be developing our next strategic plan 2023 – 2026.

The Key Objectives for 2022/23 were:

A Listening and Responsive Organisation :

Increasing the numbers of people able to access Manchester Mind. Increasing the number of access points to Manchester Mind.

Ensure that staff have the means to deliver services effectively by facilitating seamless hybrid working between office and home.

Improve our ability to demonstrate impact

A Whole Person Approach to Mental Health

Finalise funding for our CYP service.

Recruit to a People and Wellbeing Team to focus on the positive management and support to staff and volunteers. Develop a Welcome Team to improve access to Manchester Mind via our telephone and email. Develop a new counselling service for adults to run alongside our CYP counselling service. To strengthen our advice service

Influencing the Mental Health Agenda

Continue to work with partners across Manchester.

Involvement in the development of Living Well – a new mental health service in Manchester. Working with Manchester City Council in the development of new services which will support mental health

Be a sustainable Well Governed charity

Continually improve our standards, knowledge and ability to positively manage safeguarding Ensure that MM is compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements.

6

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

We met many of our objectives

In 2022/23 we had contact with 9,000 people across all our services – this was an increase of 28% on the previous year and indicates our growth in services but also in the demand that Manchester Mind as well as other organisations are experiencing

Number of services

We also increased the number of services we were delivering in this year – particularly with regard the Improving Physical Health Team which worked with PCN’s across Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Bolton and Wigan. We also started to work within the Multi-agency safeguarding hub in Manchester City Council supporting people who had safeguarding referrals due to mental health but were not meeting the safeguarding threshold. We built on our mindfulness for menopause course which has proved so popular through the success with the Dept of Health Fund on Improving Women’s Reproductive Health – this would enable us in partnership to continue the delivery of this course across Greater Manchester.

In September we set up our Welcome Team – this enables an improved and more consistent access point to all our services through telephone and email contacts.

In February 2023 we also set up our new adult counselling service

Monitoring:

The Chief Executive provides a report to the Board on the charity’s activities for each board meeting, updating on the charity’s performance and highlighting any upcoming risks and opportunities.

The Chief Executive provides a more comprehensive and systematic performance report to the Board each quarter, reporting against an agreed performance framework with project-specific and organisational targets for the year. Senior Managers together with the support of the Operations Director provide quarterly detailed reports to present to services sub group and sustainability sub groups to ensure that trustees are fully informed about services, performance, achievements and challenges.

Delivering public benefit

We have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on the public benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011 in determining the activities of the organisation.

We try to make our services accessible and so we do not have stringent referral criteria unless specified by the particular funding body, for example some counselling is provided to young people only as this is a condition of the funding grant.

Identifiable benefits

We collect quantitative and qualitative information on the number and diversity of people accessing our services, and the resulting impact of our services. This has improved during this year and has given us valuable data on which to plan future services.

Achievements and performance

During this year we moved more sustainably out of the restrictions of Covid-19 and as such we started to open up our services to face to face delivery at a speed and way that made people feel safe. We have increased the number of people we have had contact with by 28% (9,000) and we know that 6,347 of those people had more sustained contact with our services. Our advice team generated nearly £2million in additional income and reduced debt. We also adapted to both bringing back face to face work whilst enabled a level of hybrid working. Our other key achievements included establishing our Welcome Team – ensuring that people contacting us have a warm, consistent welcome and referrals are handled quickly and smoothly with services better connected. The team was established in September 2022. In February 2023 we also made good our intention to launch our adults counselling

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

service, running it alongside our children and young people’s counselling service with paid staff, volunteers and student placements.

Volunteering

Volunteering remains an important aspect of our work – volunteering provides an important service to enable people to build skills and contribute and also is vital for the charity to extend our reach but also inform service design and delivery. Volunteering picked up this year particularly within our green wellbeing service, Food For All Mental health support sessions and within peer support.

In 2022/23 57 (2021/22: 484) people volunteered across Manchester Mind services and fundraising and contributed 3,420 (2021/22: 2,460) hours to supporting our services.

Children and Young Peoples Work (CYP)

Our CYP service is now more vital than ever due to the highlighted mental health crisis which has got worse post covid.

Last year we continued with remote delivery but we also started to deliver again from our office base. However, due to the impact of the pandemic and the need to reduce our costs we had to give up our CYP base. Staff moved into offices at our base in Hulme. We now have greater choice for young people being able to deliver in person, remotely or via phone.

In total 1,715 (2012/22: 1,469) young people received support from Manchester Mind CYP.

Employer Training

Our paid for training did well during the year with increased turnover due to the winning of two contracts to deliver training. Training delivery continued online but with increasing requests to deliver in person. We made a small surplus which contributes to the delivery of our services.

Community Training

Our community training offer ended in March 2023 due to a reduction in our level of funding from our Manchester City Council grant.

Marketing and Communications

Marketing and Communications continued to be a vital part of what we can do as an organisation to promote good mental health, information about services and challenging stigma and discrimination. We continue to be very strong in attracting and maintaining followers on all the main social media accounts. We run campaigns for all the key days across the year such as Mental Health Awareness Week; World Mental Health Day; Suicide Awareness Day etc. We provide quarterly newsletters both internally and externally and utilise our position to tell people’s stories about the impact of their mental health and to challenge stigma and discrimination.

Beliefs and Values

Manchester Mind continued to embed our beliefs and values into our work. The most visible area of this continued to be in our recruitment and selection processes.

We also provided facilitated workshops for staff to attend and work through issues using the values lens, so embedding our values and beliefs in our work.

We have also implemented values workshops as part of induction.

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

We believe:

Our Values :

Openness: being receptive to, and appreciative of, the skills, talents and perspectives of everyone Belonging: developing kind relationships that lead to feeling accepted, understood and able to contribute Strength: recognising and developing potential in others and ourselves, enabling resilience Collaboration: generous sharing of our resources, skills and talents enabled by clear and meaningful communication

Partnership Work

Partnership work continues to be important to Manchester Mind and grew this year. Our current partnerships are:

We continued to work with our colleagues across Greater Manchester Local Minds - the focus this year was more on peer support during this difficult time.

Fundraising

Fundraising continued to recover this year due to the creative and committed people across our City who want to actively support our services. We raised £349,250 in comparison to the previous years £278,535.

We invested in additional resources in the addition of a further 17.5 hours of fundraising officer.

As a charity we are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adhere to their regulations, policies and guidance with regard to community and corporate fundraising which is still our main focus. We also abide by the Charity Commission fundraising guidance and regulations and by the Mind fundraising standards Our activities are overseen and monitored by the Fundraising Manager in association with the Marketing and Communications Manager. The Fundraising Manager reports into the Finance Sub Committee on a quarterly basis.

This process is internally regulated and monitored by the Fundraising Manager using the following:

9

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

There have been no instances where Manchester Mind have failed to comply with any of the above guidance.

We regular work with volunteers during the year to support our fundraising

In the past we have hosted two annual city-centre collections (1 day in May, 1 day in October) where cash donations are collected by volunteers and we started this again in 2022. The process we use is as follows:

Charity Partners

In 2022/23 we managed over 35 corporate partnerships, which helps generate unrestricted income. These partnerships are governed by our ethical fundraising policy and ethical investment policy. Each partner is supported by the fundraising manager for 12-24 months, based on an annual scheme of works (legal, logistic and procedural).

Charity partners have their own committees which are governed by senior managers of the company, and comply with fundraising guidance.

All monies are recorded on the charity donor database and SAGE finance accounts.

10

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

Community, Group and Individual Fundraisers

We follow a regulated schedule of stewardship (communications & administration) with all other fundraisers per donor type (in memory, regular giving, sponsored events, one off events, cause related marketing, one off donations) with activities and monies recorded via the charity donor database and SAGE finance accounts.

Developments

We increased our fundraising team to a full-time fundraising officer from the part-time post to work alongside our fundraising manager.

Compliments and Complaints

We have had no complaints from any fundraisers. We do receive a significant number of positive responses from people who value the contact, information and support they receive during the fundraising relationship.

We do not believe in ‘forceful’ fundraising. It is important to us that people choose to fundraise and support us. To this end:

We do not use direct mail campaigns for charity fundraising, nor employ any unsolicited forms of marketing to generate donations.

We only communicate with individuals who are pro-active in contacting our charity with a wish to support us via fundraising.

We do not engage with fundraisers under the age of 18 without an adult supervising their activities.

We follow charity safeguarding policies where fundraisers might have previously experienced poor mental health. We become aware if any fundraisers’ mental health worsens during their contact with us, and advise them to cancel or postpone their fundraising activities so they focus on their wellbeing, which is our main priority.

We follow all GDPR policy and procedures to ensure that people’s data is protected and we do not employ a persistent approach for the purpose of soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property on behalf of the charity and neither do we put people under undue pressure to give money or other property.

The income from fundraising is continuing to support a range of services including:

This year our fundraising enabled us to fund our Welcome Team and our adult counselling service.

Our Strategy for the coming year is to continue to maintain and build relationships with existing and new fundraisers. We will hold two charity collections in Manchester during the year and our charity partners help with this. Community events have restarted this year and we will continue to support our fundraisers who wish to take part. All our fundraising messages are accompanied by messages to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing. Fundraising will work closely with our Training Manger to build reciprocal links with businesses. All our work will follow all the above guidelines with a focus on building kind relationships.

Connections

Locally Manchester Mind has been involved in:

Being part of the Greater Manchester VCSE Leadership Group

o Working with VCSE organisations on developing plans around Community Mental Health Transformation

Quality

We passed MQM in the previous year. This year we maintained our Advice Quality Mark (AQS). We improved our approach to safeguarding and passed the NHS audit. We also maintained the NHS IG Toolkit. We passed cyber essentials.

Challenges in 2022/2023

The challenges during this year was the adaptation to continued new ways of working, opening up our services to face to face delivery; managing our office space when our staff team had grown; changing our IT provider to enable longer term developments and our Finance Manager leaving in August 2022 – it took 10 months to recruit to the position and we had to manage the situation with agency managers. Generally there is a health and social care workforce crisis which is making recruitment difficult. The cost of living crisis and particularly the rising cost of food and fuel made things difficult for the people we are supporting but also for Manchester Mind with a rise in rental costs. There was the possibility of the economic circumstances impacting on our fundraising and generally there were fears that longer term impact on funding will cause further challenges.

Financial Review

Total income for the year was £2,917,242 a £401,890 (16%) increase on prior year (2022: £2,515,352), £152,228 increase in unrestricted income and £249,662 increase in restricted income.

Fundraising has continued to recover following the pandemic and £349,259 of income has been generated this year (2022: £278,535), an increase on prior year of £70,724 (25%).

The business model for Food For All has changed during the year with a move away from meal production and towards the provision of support sessions closely linked in with our Advice and Peer Support services. As part of this change we exited the Windrush property in May 2022 and restructured the workforce.

Community services have expanded with the provision of several new projects and income of £757,767 was received (2022: £414,999).

Training income has increased on prior year by £51,546 (69%) to £125,951 (2022: £74,405). We have been delivering two large contracts which have accounted for this increase.

12

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

The Manchester Engagement Team (MET) contract with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust remained our largest source of income at 22% of total income (25% in 2021/22), however we are continuing to work to diversify our income streams to mitigate this financial risk.

The charity continues to secure new funding across all services and was successful in winning various new grants and contracts during 2022/23. Projects include Manchester City Council – Early Help (£34,312), The Charity Service (£4,080), NHS Health Education England (£39,872), Greater Manchester Integrated Care – Suicide Prevention Board (£15,750), Mind Organisation Development Fund (£39,082), Manchester City Council – Leaving Care (£48,244), Eric Wright Trust – cost of living (£24,000), VCSE Wellbeing Fund (£30,000 a year for 3 years), The Trussell Trust and Manchester Food Banks (£27,763), Early Help – Supporting Families (£54,862), OMVCS (£100,000 a year for 3 years), Be Well community integrated social prescribing (£12,000), MUF – Ability Counts (£7,931), Mind – cost of living (£20,000) and Eric Wright Trust – CYP (£30,000 a year for 3 years).

As a service delivery organisation, staff costs are our single biggest area of expenditure. In 2022/23 expenditure on salaries totalled £2,352,157 (2022: £1,882,839).

The charity held £1,224,303 reserves at the year ending 2022/23 (2022: £1,037,072). £681,455 relates to unrestricted funds available for future use in line with the Charity’s reserves policy, and £542,848 relates to restricted funds for specific externally funded projects.

The Board had previously agreed to designate £239,386 unrestricted funds from 2021/22 to support various projects and services in 2022/23, this included £41,885 for CYP, £21,940 for various Food For All projects, £35,433 matched funding for the Advice team, £40,617 to support various Community Services projects and £20,000 for the MET team. The remainder was designated to support the central management function to enable future organisational growth and sustainability.

Principal funding sources

We would like to thank our principal funders for their support in 2022/223:

Manchester Mind could not exist without this valued support.

Individual and corporate donors

We would also like to thank our individual and corporate donors for their support in 2022/23. This area of income generation has become increasingly important to support the growth of the charity. In 2022/23, 127 new people and 124 new organisations contributed to raising £349,259 funds for the charity.

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

Reserves policy

The reserves held by Manchester Mind fall into two primary categories: restricted and unrestricted reserves.

Unrestricted reserves are divided into four sub-categories, these categories are:

The reserves are reviewed and re-valued on an annual basis as part of the annual budgeting process. The review is carried out by the Finance Sub-Committee with recommendations made to the Board on the adequacy of reserves.

Investment policy

Manchester Mind has an ethical investment policy. Manchester Mind banks with the Co-operative Bank.

Risk management

The Board has overall responsibility for management of risk and operates in line with its risk management policy.

The Board, via the CEO and management team, maintains a risk register detailing the major risks we face as a charity and the systems and processes in place to mitigate these risks. The risk register is reviewed every three months at the Board. Risk is also a standing agenda item at project meetings, sub-committee meetings, Board meetings and at staff supervision meetings so risk can be considered more frequently if there is a significant change in our risk profile.

The Board also holds a strategic planning event each year, which includes an assessment of and discussion around risk.

14

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2023

Specific procedures are in place to ensure the health and safety of staff, volunteers, service users and visitors. Each project has appropriate quality standards for their work and compliance is monitored and reported on by the CEO.

Future financial strategies

Our main financial strategies for the future remain to achieve long-term financial sustainability by:

Our focus is to:

In terms of gaining greater financial stability, we are aware that there remains pressure on local authority and health budgets and that the competition for grant funding is high. Therefore, our focus will continue to be about developing undesignated income streams through training and fundraising. We will look at other opportunities where services can be delivered with a longer-term plan for sustainability. There is of course the need to be aware of the impact of Brexit, which could see reductions in European funding into the city – leading to increased pressure on remaining funding streams.

Plans for future periods

Focus for 2023/2024

Manchester Mind will this year develop our new strategy which will be launched 2023/2024. We are building our strategy around Making it Easier for people to ask for help. We will be focussing on our staff and volunteers and improving our trauma informed approach, ensuring that we have a skilled and supported workforce enabling the charity to be better placed for offering support to residents in Manchester.

Going Concern

The charity has a strong reserve position and has sufficient available resources, as demonstrated by the reserve policy above. We have adequate financial resources and are well placed to manage the business risks. Our planning process, including financial projections, has taken into consideration the current economic climate and its potential impact on the various sources of income and planned expenditure. The accounts are approved during a period where there is still some uncertainty as a result of COVID-19. The charity is constantly assessing the short and long term impact on its fundraising activities in the current climate. Our cash deposits could easily be drawn down should working capital be required. Appropriate consideration of risks as part of its normal risk management processes and mitigating actions both already taken and available to be taken. There are no other material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity’s ability to continue.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Manchester Mind

Opinion

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditor’s 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 trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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:

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Manchester Mind

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our 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 trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 15, 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.

Auditor’s 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 an auditor’s report 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

18

Independent Auditor’s Report to the members and trustees of Manchester Mind

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidancefor-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Manchester Mind

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Manchester Mind meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Manchester Mind

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Manchester Mind

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 9.

i Operating leases

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

j Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Office fixtures and equipment 25%

25

Manchester Mind

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

k Fixed asset investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.

The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

l Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

m Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

n Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

o Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

26

Manchester Mind

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

p Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 11. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 9.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 2.
