To strengthen relationships with partners and cominuniti¢s to ensure that our services align with local needs. Chair's Statement This year has been one of significant challenge. Rising operational costs, particularly the tliird major increase in the National Living Wage and the change to National Insurance thresholds coincided wilh reductions in sector funding. Despite this, l am proud to report tliat DFMH ended the year in a finaiicially stable position, achieving a surplus of £1 I,000.This result reflects the Commitment and collaborative effort of our Board and operational staff. We had begun the financial year expecting stability following the challenges of 2023 -2024, However, the continued cost increases again tested our rcsili¢nc¢. In response, we remod611ed services, ¢nh&nced staff terms and conditions, and made structural adjustments to safeguard sustainability without further reliance on re8erv¢s. Th¢s¢ efforts enabled us to stsrt the 2025-2026 year with a balaiiced budget. The response of stsff and the management team in particular was both determined and creative with inaintenance of service delivery at its heart. Jn addition to navigating financial pressures, we welcomed two new Trustees while bidding far¢w¢ll to Rob and Pam, two longstanding and de¢ply valued Board members. Our Trustee Developinent Day led to meaningful govcrnanoe improvements, including a revised comiiiittee strLlCture, updated governance docuinents, and a new appraisal sYst￿n that is now fully itnpleinented. Looking ahead, uncertainty remains. However, I have full confid¢nc¢ in our staff, CEO, and Trustees to meet future challenges with detennination. Thanli you lo everyoiie who continues to support our vision for better mental health for all, Helen Boocock Chair of the Board of Trustees Staffing and Structure (2024-2025) As of 31 March 2025, DFMII ¢mploy¢d 34 staff aiid had 6 active volunteeis.

THE DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION FOR IVIENTAL HEALTH COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 11. Future Charity Rislis Long-term impact on staff wellbeing due to a rediiction in the number of fiiiided posts needed to deliver essential services. Potential cost increases beyond 2025, such as fiirther rises in the minimum wage and general cost of living. Limited opportunity to build up DFMH'S financial reserves, reducing 'Financial resi l ience, Future service development is dependent on succ¢ssfvl incoine generation and fundraising, both of which are highly competitive and constrained by limited fuiiding sourccs. Restricted opportunitles to secure funding for core operational costs? placing pressure on unr¢stricted incoine. Ongoing need to supplement the cost of DCC ISS "fully funded" mental health contracts, which are not fully cost-recoverable. Risk of further funding reductions, which would jeopardise servic¢ delivery and organisational sustainability.
