Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

The Board presents its annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 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 2025, the charity had 103 members.

The Board

The Board comprises a minimum of three Directors with no maximum. As at 31 March 2025 there were 6 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, People and Wellbeing Manager, four service managers, a training manager and a fundraising 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 or a member of staff requests their salary be regraded. The Charity awarded a cost of living salary increase of 3% for the third year. The remuneration committee met once this year. If an inflationary increase is proposed this is initially reviewed as part of the budgeting process and overseen by the Finance-Sub-committee to assess affordability, with a recommendation made to the Trustees. Any request for a salary increase is investigated and benchmarked against other roles and a report is submitted to the Remuneration Committee for consideration.

Manchester Mind

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

The 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 by staff, so that services, performance and finances can be reviewed and receive oversight.

This system strengthens our oversight and ensures that the trustees receive information from various parts of the charity.

All committees met quarterly. This year the remuneration committee met once.

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 reappointment.

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 global majority communities and trustees with personal experience of mental health issues and who together can use their experiences to help the charity meet the needs of the people we are supporting. Seven new trustees attended their first board meeting in June 2025.

Directors’ induction and training

On appointment, Directors receive an induction pack consisting of:

Each new trustee is appointed a buddy (an established trustee) to support during the initial period of induction.

Manchester Mind

(a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

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 are also two additional board meetings a year in January and July which are specifically to review strategy and board development.

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 affiliated to National Mind and is part of a network of 98 local minds, whilst remaining an independent charity. As part of our community partnership agreement we sign up to regular quality reviews against the Mind Quality Standards (MQM). We also align to the Mind brand guidelines which is beneficial to us having that recognisable brand to promote what we do.

Partnerships

Delivering services in partnership is important to us – it extends our reach and we are able to learn from others and share skills and strengths. In 2024/25 some of our partnerships ended during this period due to reduced funding but we also took part in developing new partnerships.

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 people being discharged from Community Services and with PCN’s in supporting the delivery of Improving Physical Health checks across the GMMH footprint. We also continued our partnership in Manchester Living Well – where we became the lead provider organisation for the VCSE contribution.

We continued to work with colleagues in local Greater Manchester Minds to deliver multifaceted menopause support – mainly to women in work and within racialised communities. The funding for this partnership with successful outcomes ended in March 2025.

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. Our role in this is provision of social welfare law and we heard that this element would be expanding in 2025/26.

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 9schools in Manchester.

Manchester Mind

(a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

In December 2024 we embarked on an exciting new partnership with Gaddum (a longstanding VCSE organisation in Manchester). Together we will be delivering the Recovery in Community Service – to improve the discharge of people in beds both in area and out of area.

In August we were awarded funding (short-term) to deliver improved access to green social prescribing to racialised communities and to do this we partnered with Ethnic Health Forum and Safety4Sisters.

Thriving Families continued – a partnership with Manchester City Council, TLC and CGL.

We have built strong networks across Manchester in order to enable strong referral pathways so that it becomes easier for people to find help.

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

We continued into our second year of our strategic plan:

Making it Easier for People to ask for help.

Our strategy was based on what people told us – that finding and accessing help was really difficult and could take a long time and therefore in the time it took mental health could deteriorate.

The main question we ask ourselves now is how is this making it easier for people to ask for help. Everyone is connected to our strategy.

The strategy is arranged around four clear pieces of work:

People – ensuring everyone who work and volunteers for us have everything they need in order to deliver their duties e.g. a safe place to work, supervision, training and development.

A Whole Person Approach – maintaining our commitment to developing trauma informed services which focus on a connected approach to our delivery

6

Manchester Mind

(a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

Influence – being able to use our position to influence mental health strategies and services as well as supporting people with personal experience of mental health problems to also use their experience to influence developments.

Being Well Run – we are unable to do anything unless we are compliant with all our obligations and having enough money to deliver services.

These areas of work continued to provide the framework for what we would do during the year and we monitor our progress at quarterly board meetings and at the two strategic board meetings. The biggest action towards enabling our strategy was identifying a new home for the charity. We identified one and signed the lease in April 2025. The new space is in the centre of Manchester improving our accessibility and one which will enable developments and partnerships.

In terms of numbers:

In 2024/25 we had contact with over 12,903 people across all our services – this was an increase on the previous year of 17.3%. This is showing continuing increases in demand and additional services.

Number of services

We deliver our services under four service areas:

Advice

Community Services

Welcome and Access and

Children and Young People.

We also have a Fundraising Team and

Employer Training Team

All together we deliver 16 different services and 5 partnerships

Monitoring:

Ensuring that our trustees have full sight of the implementation of the strategy and compliance is important. In order to ensure this the CEO provides a report to each quarterly board meeting – a change to the format sees key risks being pulled out for trustees to be aware of. Reports are also presented to each of the sub-committees which provides more rounded views of the activities across the charity.

Senior Managers together with the support of the Operations Director provide quarterly detailed reports to present to operations sub group/finance sub-group/governance strategy and risk group and the people and wellbeing group.

7

Manchester Mind

(a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

A condition of our affiliation to National Mind is our compliance with the Mind Quality Mark audit process and this became due in January 2025. We passed the audit with only 11 corrective actions.

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 – indeed our strategy is about Making it Easier to Ask for Help 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

This year the number of people we have had contact with is 12,903 which has increased from 11,000. Our advice team generated over £2.4 million in additional income and reduced debt.

The vast majority of our work is carried out face to face but the ability to deliver remotely has been maintained to enable greater choice.

Other achievements;

Development of the Recovery in Community Team

Delivery of improving access to green social prescribing by racialised communities

Passing the MQM with note given to our delivery of effective services.

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. This year we achieved the Investing in Volunteer Quality Mark and completed the development of a very well received volunteer handbook.

In 2024/25 we worked with 96 (2023/2024: 80) volunteers across all our service delivery.

Children and Young Peoples Work (CYP)

Our CYP service has continued to offer vital support to young people both in and out of school.

(a company limited by guarantee)

Manchester Mind

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

In total we supported 901 young with one to one support; counselling and peer support.

Employer Training

Our training performed well delivering training to nearly 2,000 people and broke even.

Marketing and Communications

Marketing and Communications is important as it helps the whole charity connect and promote not just our services but resources and positive messages around mental health. We commit to those messages particularly around key dates 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. We have developed on our website a wellbeing hub with lots of resources for visitors to our site to use.

Beliefs and Values

Our beliefs and values are still incredibly important to us and we provide 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 staff inductions and this year a team of staff were trained so that they had access to the values system base and had the skills to deliver the values training workshops

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

Fundraising

Fundraising dropped this year for the first time since the pandemic to £232,078 down 37%. It is a national trend but one that is worrying. Part of our response to this was to create an Income Generation Team with our Training team – creating more opportunity for sharing resources and improving collaboration.

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

9

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

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:

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

We regularly 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 continued this in 2024. The process we use is as follows:

Volunteers are colleagues from corporate “charity of the year” partnerships.

Our Fundraising Manager co-ordinates all corporate volunteering for our charity

Charity street collections require an application to be submitted to Manchester City Council before a permit is issued.

As well as undertaking a charity event risk assessment, with full insurance documentation, we issue volunteer briefing documents in advance of the event. We always secure a central citycentre office for the day to serve as our Volunteer HQ.

On the day, we host 1 x 60 minute welcome and team briefing (covering ethics, health & safety, legal issues, logistics and housekeeping). Volunteers each carry a copy of the MCC permit, wear a charity tabard and take a numbered sealed bucket to collect cash. All materials are recorded as “signed out” per volunteer, with bucket numbers logged. Volunteers work in small teams per “geographical zone” within the city. Each team is visited by the fundraising manager during the course of the event.

At the end of each event, volunteers return to our HQ for debriefing. All material is recorded as “signed in” per volunteer. We then securely return the collection buckets to our Hulme office.

Our Finance Officer then opens the sealed buckets to record all monies donated at the event per volunteer. Our Fundraising Manager then records the monies per volunteer, per team and calculates the grand total. This information is recorded on the MCC collection form, which are

10

Manchester Mind

(a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

collected within 4 weeks of the event. Each volunteer also receives a certificate of thanks and details of their individual, team and collective success within 3 days of the event.

Monies donated at each bi-annual event are then coded and added to the charity finance system (SAGE).

Charity Partners

In 204/2025 we managed over 80 Charity Partners, 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.

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.

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. These are logged and a selection shared in our quarterly reports

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.

11

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

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:

o Advice

o Peer Support

o Welcome and Access Team

o Counselling

Our Strategy for the coming year is to continue to maintain and build relationships with existing and new fundraisers. We want to raise money to enable our own strategy of making it easier for people to ask for help. We will hold two charity collections in Manchester during the year and our charity partners help with this. Community events were fully back up and running this year and we were back supporting all our fundraisers. All our fundraising messages are accompanied by messages to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing. Fundraising will work closely with our Training Manger and marketing manager as part of an income generation team to build reciprocal links with businesses. All our work will follow all the above guidelines with a focus on building kind relationships.

Connections

It is important that we are visible in our local area to contribute our learning about what works for people with mental health issues and also to influence services and promote the work of the VCSE sector. Locally Manchester Mind has been involved in:

Quality

We continued to improve our approach to safeguarding and again passed the NHS audit. We also maintained the NHS IG Toolkit. We once again passed cyber essentials.

12

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

Challenges in 2024/2025

The cost of living crisis for both the people we work with and also for staff continued to be a challenge.

The impact of external factors on fundraising – leading to a drop in undesignated funding.

Finding a new building but slow progress toward a lease and generating income for a full fit out.

Continuing to be in a building that has not really been fit for our purpose.

Changes in the external environments and systems leading to uncertainty

Government announcement of a rise in employer national insurance.

Loss of funding for our CYP counselling service – we pivoted to a different model to enable us to continue delivery and we also plan for a low-cost counselling service to be launched in May 2025

Financial Review

Total income for the year was £2,947,411 a £191,713 (6%) decrease on prior year (2024: £3,139,124), £180 decrease in unrestricted income and £191,533 decrease in restricted income.

Fundraising has continued to recover following the pandemic and £232,078 of income has been generated this year (2024: £366,418), a decrease on prior year of £134,340 (37%).

Community services have expanded with the provision of several new projects and income of £977,975 was received (2024: £889,178).

Training income has increased on prior year by £18,918 (26%) to £91,017 (2024: £72,099).

The Manchester Engagement Team (MET) contract with Greater Manchester Mental Health Trust remained our largest source of income at 16% of total income (20% in 2023/24), 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 2024/2025.

As a service delivery organisation, staff costs are our single biggest area of expenditure. In 2024/25 expenditure on salaries totalled £2,487,129 (2024: £2,634,833).

The charity held £1,171,286 reserves at the year ending 2024/25 (2024: £1,327,362). £764,530 relates to unrestricted funds available for future use in line with the Charity’s reserves policy, and £406,756 relates to restricted funds for specific externally funded projects.

The Board had previously agreed to designate £537,000 unrestricted funds from 2023/24 to support various projects and services in 2024/25. 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 2024/25:

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 2024/25. This area of income generation has become increasingly important to support the growth of the charity. In 2024/25, 80 new people and 5 new organisations contributed to raising £232,078 funds for the charity.

We are using this funding in different ways;

Reserves policy

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

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

14

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

The reserves are reviewed and re-valued on an annual basis as part of the annual budgeting process. Manchester Mind historically held a continuance provision which covered three months’ running costs. The need to retain a continuance provision was considered nullified by the signing of a 10-year lease for Victoria House and this was released during 24-25. 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 Cooperative Bank. During the year two savings accounts were opened, one with Redwood bank and another with Allica 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.

This year the trustees reviewed our risk profile into a more user-friendly version and better able to be overseen by all the sub-committees.

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:

15

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

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 is going to be more difficult over the coming years. Therefore, our focus will continue to be about recovery of our 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.

Plans for future periods

Focus for 2025/2026

Manchester Mind will continue to develop and implement our strategy of Making it Easier to Ask For Help. We will continue to focus on our staff and volunteers and on embedding our trauma informed approach across our whole person approach.

We will relocating to new premises which will help us develop our service model and be more accessible to people across 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 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.

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

Directors’ report for the year ended 31 March 2025

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities

The Board of Directors is responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Under company law, the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the income and expenditure of the group for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

 select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently

 observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP

 make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent

 state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

 prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The members of the Board who are Directors for the purposes of company law, and trustees for the purposes of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 2.

In accordance with company law, as the company’s Directors, each member of the Board certifies that:

 so far as they are aware, there is no relevant information of which the auditor is unaware

 as Directors of the company they have taken all necessary steps to be aware of information which would be relevant for audit purposes and have communicated them to the auditor

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102) (issued January 2015) and in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime (of the Companies Act 2006).

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

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Manchester Mind (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including the income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. 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.

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

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:

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 17, 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.

Manchester Mind (a company limited by guarantee)

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

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:

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-andguidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-foraudit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx.

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

The trustee5 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 perlod. c Income Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance condition5 attached to the item{51 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 recognlsed when the charlty has entltlement to the funds, any performance condltlons attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the Sncome will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and Is not deferred. For legacies, entltlement 1s taken as the earller of the date on whlch eSther'. the charlty Is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(sl 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 notifled 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 crlteria for Income recognltlon have not been met, then the legacy Is a treated as a contlngent asset and dlsclosed If materlal.

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 partyi It is probable that settlernent will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings.. Costs of ralslng funds comprSse the costs of staff engaged In the actlvlty and thelr assocSated support costs. Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs engaged in furtherlng the purposes of the charlty and thelr associated support costs. Other expenditure represents those Stems not falling into any other heading. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. h Allocatlon of support costs Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charlty but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, fSnance, personnel, payroll and governance costs whlch support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of ralslng funds and expenditure on charltable actlvltles. The bases on whlch support costs have been allocated are set out In note 9. l Operatlng leases Operating leases are leases In whlch the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remaln with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Office fixtures and equipment 25010 k Intangible assets All intangible assets are initially recorded at cost. Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, over the Useful economic life of that asset.

Manchester Mind Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued) l Fixed asset investments Investments are a form of basic financial instrurnent and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing qLJOted market price.
