THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05256793)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objective of the charity 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.

Our aims are:

Staying well - Support people likely to develop mental health problems to stay well. Empowering choice - Empower people who experience a mental health problem to make informed choices about how they live and recover.

Improving services and support - Ensure people get the right services and support at the right time to help their recovery and enable them to live with their mental health problem.

Enabling social participation - Open the doors to people with experience of mental health problems participating fully in society.

Removing inequality of opportunity - Gain equality of treatment for people who experience both mental health and other forms of discrimination.

Organisational excellence - Make the most of our assets by building a culture of excellence.

The charity is affiliated to Mind and operates in accordance with the aims and objectives of Mind.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Committee members consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Objectives for the year

To meet our overall objects of the charity, aims and objectives for each project are set annually and recorded in the 'Overarching Operational Policy and Plan'. We have robust mechanisms in place to illicit, record and analyse qualitative experience and quantitative data relating to each project. At the start, review and end stage various channels are used to gather data which include surveys, verbal feedback, forums and outcome measurement tools (a short version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS)). Quarterly management reports demonstrate the outcomes of the project work and how these outcomes directly contribute to achieving the charitable objects and the public benefit as detailed in our strategic plan. Evaluation and analysis of findings are discussed with service users, within supervision, team and managers' meetings and reported in quarterly monitoring meetings with trustees and commissioners.

Strategies for the year

Our focus is on creating meaningful impact by working in partnership with service users, carers, and a wide range of organisations. By identifying people earlier within their communities, we will provide timely support that helps individuals build resilience, strengthen self-care skills, and improve their health and wellbeing. At the same time, we are committed to promoting greater participation and inclusion, reducing isolation, and fostering stronger, more connected communities.

All of our projects are designed to deliver measurable outcomes that directly contribute to our organisational aims and objectives. Guided by our Strategic Plan, we ensure that every activity not only meets expectations, but also creates lasting positive change and public benefit.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Principal activities

Outline of services

Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has continued to work collaboratively with the NHS, Local Minds and other mental health providers in the transformation of mental health services across Mid and South Essex (MSE) ICS (Integrated Care System). We were awarded funding from Mind to further structure and embed our approach to influence and participation and shared decision making. This pro-activity resulted in the successful implementation of our lived experience panel (LEP). Recruitment of members was not just limited to known service users but extended to reach under-represented communities. Our members have various strengths, experience and backgrounds that they bring to influence and participate in our charity and wider system work, ensuring that co-production and the voices of people with lived experience who represent our diverse, local communities are at the heart of what we do. Service users have been consulted in all steps in the process of continuing developments. Service users representing the voices of others, together with our services outlined below, contribute to achieving our aims and objectives. We empower people to make informed choices and those likely to develop mental health problems to stay well.

With the exception of services that are specifically delivered by telephone, all services are offered in accordance with the individual's preferred choice: face to face, telephone or via digital platforms.

Admission Prevention and Early Discharge (APED)

The Admission Prevention and Early Discharge Service is a collaborative service between EPUT and Thurrock and Brentwood Mind to prevent admission into the Mental Health wards and facilitate early discharge.

Crisis Sanctuary

In partnership with Choice Support, there are three sanctuaries covering the entire geography of the Mid and South Essex. We cover the South West Essex area of Thurrock, Basildon and Brentwood in partnership with Basildon Mind.

Crisis Sanctuaries are part of the 24-7 Mental Health Crisis Response and Care Service, to provide a safe place for individuals experiencing an emotional or mental health distress. Practical and emotional support is offered in a warm, welcoming and friendly environment. Outreach support enables service users to receive additional support if required, to link them with local services and opportunities. The Substance Misuse Worker provides specialist expertise and supports service users to engage with substance misuse services. The Community Link Worker engages and works collaboratively within the local community to address inequalities and encourage access to support.

Crisis House Sanctuary Plus

In partnership with other local Minds, the Crisis House is part of the 24-7 Mental Health Crisis Response and Care Service covering Mid and South Essex, that offers a range of non-clinical interventions and support. It is not an alternative to admission, but another supported accommodation pathway for those that do not require a hospital admission.

Day services - Thurrock

Wellbeing activities are held four times per week in person and once a week online. There are a range of activities: service users provide peer support to each other and take part in gardening, arts and crafts, quizzes, games and excursions. Funding for this service ended on 31 May 2025.

Day services to Peer Support - Brentwood

Five weekly plus two monthly wellbeing activities are offered from the Brentwood hub: tea and talk, colouring, mindfulness, seated exercise, arts and crafts, LGBT group and games group. With no funding, this service changed to Peer Support in September 2024.

An additional monthly confidence workshop is delivered from the Brentwood Community Theatre.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Operational Performance

Reports on operational and financial performance are measured by trustees on a quarterly basis, sent to funders and quarterly contract monitoring meetings with Commissioners take place.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Financial position

Income

The primary sources of income remain Mid and South Essex ICB and Thurrock Council, who fund major statutory projects for public benefit within the Thurrock and Brentwood areas. The majority of £4.15m total annual income (2024 - £4.29m) supports specific projects and was awarded to us in a competitive process with controls on overhead margins. There was an annual surplus of £137k of income over expenditure (2024 - £148k).

The directly funded income stream is supplemented by other unrestricted sources of income by way of private counselling, housing benefits associated with our tenanted housing, donations, fundraising and discretionary grants.

The tenanted housing offers a total of 15 units with long or short-term duration dependent upon need.

The Mindtalk service continues to provide private counselling and external training generating some additional income.

We continue to explore alternative funding opportunities to diversify income by fund raising, providing training and voluntary donations. These additional sources of income aim to some give some degree of financial independence within our charitable aims.

Expenditure

Expenditure for the year totalled £4.01m (2024 - £4.15m). The main expenditure for the organisation is staff wages. Staff numbers continue to increase with expansion or changes of services in response to needs. Total staff wages were approximately £3.09m, including contributions for national insurance and pension costs (2024 - £3.13m).

Expenditure on utilities, rent, rates, mortgage costs and buildings maintenance are an essential overhead and notional losses on some projects continue to strain our profitability and reserves. Some of these overheads are unavoidable (utilities, insurances, accountancy fees, etc) but other non-core expenditure is carefully monitored. Due to the increased size of the organisation, costs for IT equipment and support, telephone (fixed line and mobile) and home working support expenditure is an increasing cost to the organisation.

Acceptance of home working arrangements are also dictated by the availability of office accommodation. This does have a beneficial side effect on the flexibility of staff working arrangements and resources.

Other "soft" costs include compliance with statutory obligations, quality standards, staff training, recruitment costs and general business expenditure, to ensure the organisation functions to best practice. This is reflected in the achievement of many recognised standards of excellence and awards, as noted elsewhere.

Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has tangible assets in the ownership of three buildings that provide a capital buffer as a long-term financial base, albeit with acceptance of mortgage costs.

Investment policy and objectives

The Committee have considered the investment requirements of the charity and has decided that uncommitted funds should be retained in banks and building societies and that any suggested changes to the banking arrangement should be agreed with them in advance. The Committee also feel that funds should be retained on interest bearing accounts wherever this is practical.

THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05256793)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review Reserves policy

Introduction

The policy is written in the light of the Charity Commissioners' guidance "Charities' Reserves" (CC19, January 2016)

Reserves are defined as "income which becomes available to the charity and is to be expended at the trustees' discretion in the furtherance of any of the charity's objectives (sometimes referred to as "general purposes" income); but which is not yet spent, committed or designated (i.e. is "free")" (para. 11).

The definition of reserves therefore excludes: permanent endowment; expendable endowment; restricted funds; designated funds; and income funds which could only be realised by disposing of fixed assets held for charity use (para. 11).

The reserves policy should cover as a minimum:

Why Thurrock and Brentwood Mind needs reserves

Maintenance of properties - Thurrock and Brentwood Mind owns three properties and has decided it needs to have £45k available for emergency repairs and renovations to these properties in order that it could continue the services run from those buildings.

Winding up the charity - Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has decided that, in the event of the organisation having to be wound up, it would need to have six months running costs estimated to be £429k in reserves to allow for a proper running down.

A source of service funding ceases - Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has decided that it is necessary to keep a reserve of £272k for potential run-off and redundancy costs associated with any service where funding has ceased.

Investment in properties - Thurrock And Brentwood Mind own properties that are integral to the services provided to people experiencing emotional or mental distress.

The investment in properties is to enable services to remain sustainable in the long term.

The charity has commitments to long term mortgages and reserves have been designated to cover the historical cost carrying value less the outstanding mortgages. At 31 March 2025 the required Designated Reserve was £542k (2024 - £535k).

The level of reserves the trustees believe Thurrock and Brentwood Mind needs as at 31 March 2025 As set out above, Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has decided it needs reserves of circa £1,281k made up of the Designated Properties Fund of £535k and General Fund of £746k.

The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 of £1,796k (2024 - £1,696k) is in excess of the targeted reserves of £1,281k.

Monitoring and reviewing the reserves policy

This policy and financial detail will be reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Future plans

Future plans were considered in Thurrock and Brentwood Mind's Business Plan 2023-2026 to encompass the period ending on 31 March 2025. The plans were built on four strategic pillars, each with specific objectives. Highlights include:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

At the Annual General Meeting held on 27 November 2024, the charity's members unanimously approved a special resolution to amend the Articles of Association. Under the revised Articles, only the trustees are entitled to vote at general meetings.

This governance change was introduced to clarify accountability for decision-making, strengthen fiduciary oversight and ensure that matters reserved to trustees are determined by those with legal responsibility for the charity's operations.

To maintain transparency and stakeholder engagement, all existing members were invited to an Open Day and encouraged to join one of more of the charity's forums, which provide opportunities to contribute views and ideas on the charity's work. These arrangements ensure that trustee decisions continue to be informed by a broad range of perspective.

Thurrock and Brentwood Mind is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles dated 27 November 2024. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. Anyone over the age of 18 can become a member of the charity, each of whom agrees to contribute £15 for an Organisational Membership, £5 for an individual.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

Statement of Committee Members'/Directors' Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also directors of Thurrock and Brentwood Mind for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the report of the Management Committee and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company, for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the Management Committee are required to:

The Management Committee is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors

So far as the committee members/directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Goldwyns Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 22 December 2025 and signed on the board's behalf by:

Mrs S A Lyons - Trustee

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Thurrock and Brentwood Mind (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 Auditors' 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 Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in 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:

Page 11

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the 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 Report of the Trustees.

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

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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.

Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

In order to address the risks of misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we have:

We therefore consider our audit approach has been sufficient to detect material irregularities, including fraud.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND

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 auditors' 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The charity is limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the UK.

The place of business is at the registered office which can be located in the trustees' report.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Intangible fixed assets

Amortisation is provided at the following annual rate in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer software - Straight line over 5 years

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - Straight line over 15 years and Straight line over 50 years Improvements to property - Over remaining period of lease Fixtures and fittings - 50% on cost and 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

It is the charity's general policy to capitalise items costing over £250.

Taxation

HM Revenue and Customs have confirmed that the charity is exempt from Income and Corporation Taxes on its investment and trading income because of its charitable status and therefore no provision for taxation has been made in the financial statements.

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are grants and contracts awarded for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure that meets these specific purposes is matched against grant income and allocated over the appropriate cost centres.

Unrestricted funds comprise other income received or generated for charitable purposes but which may be spent at the discretion of the Management Team.

Designated funds are those unrestricted funds that have been earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
