Trustees are appointed on a rolling basis in line with needs identified by an annual skills audit.
Individuals identified as potential Trustees submit an expression of interest, have an initial meeting with the Chair and then submit a CV and letter outlining their skills and reasons for wanting to join the Board. With quorate Board agreement, the potential Trustee is invited to meet the Board to discuss their application and to find out appropriate information about the charity and the role. If approved by a quorate majority the individual is invited to join the Board and provided with a full Trustee induction and training by the Operations Manager and Strategic Director.

Longstanding sessional staff member Sharon Carrick sadly passed away during the year and the Board would like to put on record their thanks for her hard work and commitment and pass on their condolences to her family and friends.
The staff team was supported by seven trained volunteers over the year. Volunteer numbers were severely restricted due to lockdown limitations.
Risk Management
Orb maintains a risk register and the Board of Trustees ensure that all major risks to which the charity is exposed are reviewed on at least an annual basis and that the systems, policies, and procedures are in place to manage these risks.
Objects of The Charity
The objects of the Charity, as stated in the Constitution adopted in September 2003 are to ‘promote mental health and wellbeing amongst vulnerable people in Yorkshire by engaging individuals in multimedia and other meaningful activities with an emphasis on social inclusion, basic employment skills and other personal development and training opportunities’.
An annual work plan guides the work of the Orb staff team under the leadership of the Strategic Director. Progress is monitored and reported to trustee meetings throughout the year. Orb Community Enterprise is now an established charity and social enterprise promoting Positive Mental Health and providing better life
4
opportunities to people experiencing or at risk of the effects of poor mental health. This includes addressing isolation, lack of influence, lack of opportunity for self-development and difficulty accessing learning provision or employment. It does this through engaging individuals in creative and learning activity in a community focused environment, promoting increases in mental health, influence, confidence, self-esteem, skills, knowledge, and greater opportunities to volunteer, work and access further education.
Quality Assurance
Orb holds the Matrix Quality Standard Award (Identification Number C12297), an externally assessed quality management award for organisations providing information, advice, and guidance. Having already held this for six years, Orb was reassessed in January 2019 and will now retain the Award until 2022. Orb has also passed the North Yorkshire County Council Quality Assurance Framework and remains an Approved Provider to Health and Adult Services.
Achievements and Performance during 2020/2021
The year running from April 2020 to March 2021 was dominated by the Covid 19 Coronavirus pandemic which, as with all organisations, posed a huge and unexpected challenge. Nevertheless, this had no significant impact on the organisation’s ability to fulfil its charitable objectives. Income streams were not adversely affected, additional pandemic response funding was secured, no staff were furloughed, and a full range of services continued to be delivered by remote means with face-to-face activity being re-introduced as restrictions relaxed. This was achieved during a period of significant change for Orb, with founder and Director Mark Flood stepping down and the organisation going through a staff restructure.
Services
Despite the severe lockdown restrictions imposed with little notice at the end of March 2020, Orb was able to maintain all elements of its service delivery with virtually no interruption. This included provision of a full range of wellbeing focused creative and learning group and 1-1 activities, and keyworker support to promote both engagement at Orb and progression into volunteering, employment, and education destinations. This required the rapid development of a ‘remote’ approach to services delivery which aimed to keep people ‘Creative, Connected and Well’. To support service users through this sudden process of change, each individual was assigned to a staff member’s caseload who then provided weekly phone calls to offer pastoral support and information, advice, and guidance on accessing the new remote offer from Orb and other relevant local services.
Creative and learning sessions were provided through online solutions including Zoom or supported by the delivery of ‘creative and wellbeing packages’ to people’s homes. Regular groups included Natural Voice Singing, Arts and Crafts, the Ukulele Orchestra, Creative Writing, Creative Mindfulness, the Cabaret Group and Textiles. Innovative use of online platforms meant that group activity was able to place across greater distances and bring in new skills and ideas. This included the Textiles session evolving into Threads, a shared online project including service users from Orb, service users from partner organisation Pioneer Projects in Craven, and staff from North Yorkshire Records Office in Northallerton, using archive materials to explore sense of place through textile work, and led by an artist in Glasgow.
It also saw the ‘Igen Exchange’ with four organisations funded by the Igen Trust (Orb, Converge York, Converge Northumbria, and Arts Network Lewisham) providing shared online sessions for each other’s service users. These sessions included Mindfulness, Fashion, Art and Writing sessions.
Provision of group activity actually increased in lockdown, with approaching 250 sessions delivered as opposed to 127 the year before. Keyworker support was provided via telephone call or 1-1 sessions on Zoom and proved invaluable in keeping service users focused on the future at a time of great uncertainty. Keyworker support was also the first element to move back to face-to-face with opportunities for service users to attend physical sessions re-introduced after Christmas. This was followed by the re-introduction of garden sessions.
5
All face-to-face activity was subject to rigorous Covid prevention measures including temperature checks, wellbeing questionnaires, maintenance of social distancing, mask wearing, sanitization and limitation of numbers.
There was also an increased focus on ‘communication’ during lockdown with the introduction of the ‘Orbserver’, a new weekly newsletter promoting both Orb’s services and other local options whilst providing a forum in which service users could share the creativity and sense of community that underpinned their ability to stay well. This was re-enforced by the ongoing development of ‘Radio Orb’ a regular, service user led podcast that explored people’s personal and creative response to lockdown.
The ability for Orb to come together and as a community was also maintained, with it’s regular celebration events moving to Zoom where a Harvest Festival, Christmas Xmas Cracker Party and Easter Eggstravaganza were presented. These included live activities, films showing the work of creative groups and opportunities for service user feedback and, despite being online, felt vibrant and inclusive. Each one was attended by between 40 and 50 individuals, and (unlike most Zoom events) did not see any audience drop off over their two hour running time. Overall, services during the year directly reached over 140 people.
Impact
Work continued throughout the pandemic to engage individuals in a supported assessment and review process that encourages service users to set and work towards personal goals in skills and wellbeing. This collated both quantitative and qualitative data about the impact of support which showed significant positive outcomes despite the impact of Covid and the related lockdowns and social isolation.
Though some measured wellbeing scores (using the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Health and Wellbeing Scale) were lower than in previous years, reflecting these external factors, overall the data showed a picture of most service users maintaining or increasing in wellbeing and skills, or mitigating the worst impact of the pandemic. Of those assessed, 70% increased or maintained in measured wellbeing scores. 100% of respondents also registered that engagement had had a positive impact on their mental health, with 65% rating this impact at the highest level (‘very much’) up from 54% in the previous year. Though overall measured wellbeing scores may have been lower, the perceived impact of engagement was actually higher. This was reinforced with 90% reporting significant increases in ‘meaningful social inclusion’, 70% significant increases in ‘empowered choice’ and 65% significant increases in ‘active citizenship’, 88% evidencing progress towards their personal goals and 85% feeling ‘more employable’. Despite services being predominantly online / remote and the added anxieties and pressures of lockdown, services still had a profound impact. Here are just a few service user quotes to give a flavour of the qualitative feedback received.
“Orb helped immensely keeping activities going through Covid 19, especially how fast they reacted to lockdown by establishing zoom sessions and dropping off art packs at people’s homes.”
“The telephone calls have been a massive help and have been really reassuring.”
“I thought (the celebration events) were really good. I think in a way they were needed as well to keep everybody together. Just seeing everybody was so nice and seeing what other people had created. To let people know they’re not on their own.”
“Orb helped keep me well, especially during lockdown when I was very isolated. It was a lifeline really.”
Partnership Work
Though lockdown changed how Orb delivered services it did not stop it from developing existing and new partnership work. Its ongoing relationship with independent sister organisation Pioneer Projects, in the Craven
6
District of North Yorkshire, continued to flourish with both organisations sharing a Strategic Director and developing parallel staff structures, approaches to service delivery, outcomes measurement and finance. This led to significant opportunities for skill share and mutual support. The benefit was particularly evident when the pandemic struck, with both organisations supporting each other to develop remote service delivery and robust new policy and procedure. This was crucial in ensuring both organisations were able to respond to lockdown quickly and effectively and ensure support to service users was not interrupted.
This ability to work online in turn bore fruit in terms of delivery, with the online partnership work described above in the ‘services’ section seeing Orb deliver activity not just with Pioneer but with organisations and individuals in London, Glasgow, Newcastle, and York, increasing the opportunities for its service users when many other options were shutting down. Orb were also able to play the lead role in developing Route One to Wellness, a new VCSE mental health partnership for Harrogate and Rural District, including Orb, Mind in Harrogate District, Claro Enterprises and Wellspring Therapy and Training.
Orb was able to secure £65,000 for the partnership from the National Lottery Coronavirus Community Support Fund to increase remote / online delivery capacity at each organisation and establish a new formal referral pathway from the Primary Care Network Social Prescribing Teams into partnership support to help meet the growing number of people with common mental health problems presenting at their GP as a result of pandemic impact.
Staff
There were significant changes to the staff team during the year. Director and founder, Mark Flood, retired after 17 years following a phased reduction of hours over the previous 12 months, with Strategic Director, Leon Fijalkowski, taking over full delegated responsibility from the Board of Trustees. This led to a staffing restructure, informed by the Strategic Director’s shared role at independent partner organisation Pioneer Projects and learning from the Covid pandemic.
A new role of Creative and Wellbeing Projects Manager was introduced to sit alongside the Operations Manager below the position of Strategic Director reflecting the successful structure piloted by Pioneer in the previous year. This gave senior managers the benefit of peer support from a colleague fulfilling the same role not usually available in organisations of this size.
The growing need for 1-1 pastoral interventions, support to engage with new remote services and access progression support at a time of reducing opportunity, also saw the expansion of the Keyworker team from one to two members. Work was also done to re-focus the Project Activities worker roles into more focused Creative Facilitation roles for introduction in the following financial year.
Premises
Orb took the opportunity of being closed during the pandemic to make some improvements to the building with work done to refresh the fixtures and fitting, improve access and improve its digital infrastructure to support online and hybrid online / live activities.
Finance
Total Income compared to the previous year increased by £115,394 from £228,690 to £344,084 principally reflecting emergency pandemic related funding (including £65,000 from the National Lottery Coronavirus Support Fund, a £10,500 Coronavirus uplift from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, and £10,000 from Harrogate Borough Council) and new or increased sources of income (including a new £12,000 grant from the Barings Foundation and £10,799 from Pioneer Project’s contribution to the cost of a shared Strategic Director which was no longer being subsidised by NYCC Stronger Communities). As will be seen in expenditure £43,500 of this income was managed on behalf of and passed onto partner organisations meaning
7
that the real income increased by a more modest £71,894 to £300,584 though this still represents a significant increase on the previous year.
Total Expenditure for the year increased by £46,823 from £199,550 to £246,373 though this masks the aforementioned payments to partners of £43,500 which reduces the real increase in expenditure to only £3,323. Expenditure did nevertheless differ significantly from the year before with payroll costs increasing by £16,241. This was offset by significant savings to office costs and transport due to pandemic restrictions and increased online / home working and the non-repetition of one-off building costs associated with the previous year’s toilet refurbishment. The increased payroll costs represent an increased staff team and will carry on into the next financial year.
Overall this resulted in an end of year surplus of £97,711 compared with £29,141 the previous year with funds carried forward into 2021/22 standing at £150,386 including Unrestricted funds of £123,958 and Restricted funds of £26,428 with Cash in the Bank / at hand, a healthy £133,143. This position more than covers the agreed reserves policy of the organisation, which requires 3 months operating costs in reserve which at the end of this financial year stood at £50,718. This position means that the budget for 2021/22 is already balanced putting the organisation in a stronger position to plan for the future at a time of ongoing uncertainty.
The Trustees remain committed to developing and maintain a broad range of funding streams from both restricted and unrestricted sources that contribute to ongoing organisational stability.

Future Plans
The Covid pandemic has done much to re-enforce the need for Orb and the support it provides. The outcomes measurement of services carried over the pandemic showed that the creative, community led approach to
8
wellbeing being developed by Orb is genuinely effective and that the unique skills within the organisation have huge potential to grow in impact and reach.
During lockdown, Orb was one of very few local organisations able to remain ‘open’, deliver a full set of services and continue to support its user base and this was in no small part down to its creative approach to delivery. This user base is showing significant signs of increasing with rising numbers of referrals from GP practices, mental health and social work teams and advice and information from strategic partners in health and the local authority suggesting that this trend is set to continue.
Indeed, the increased interest in and dependence on effective community based support from our statutory partners is becoming ever more evident and the need to maximise the wider potential of a diverse, locally relevant, and trusted VCSE ever more critical. Orb is also increasingly recognising that its creative work doesn’t just impact on the individuals it supports, but that the increased wellbeing and skills that they get from engaging also have profound implications for the wellbeing, capacity, resilience, connectivity, and vibrancy of the wider community. The power of creativity can transform not just individual lives but the nature and potential of communities themselves.
As such, the next few years will see Orb aim to do the following:
-
Develop more effective and impactful services that harness the power of creativity to provide increased wellbeing, personal development, and progression opportunities to the increasing number of people in the community experiencing or at risk of poor mental health.
-
Develop a larger and more skilled staff team able to deliver this expanded service.
-
Develop increased partnership links with a range of VCSE and statutory partners that ensure our unique offer dovetails with a holistic range of services capable of supporting the ‘whole person’.
-
Develop better referral pathways between ourselves and our VCSE and statutory partners to ensure those we support always get the right support at the right time.
-
Ensure that our work contributes to the creativity and wellbeing of our local communities and helps build bridges between these and other communities so that Orb’s approach has the furthest possible reach and impact.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable 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 charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Orb Community Enterprise Independent Examiner's report to the trustees.
The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
