THE MCPIN FOUNDATION

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

We want mental health to be better understood. We explore what it means to be an expert, valuing personal experience as well as professional practice and research skills. We create inclusive ways of working that encourage shared learning and impact. We lead, influence and shape research that deepens understanding of mental health issues and improves the lives of people and communities.

Mission: To improve everyone's mental health through research directed by lived experience expertise Vision: Our vision is a world where the value of lived experience of mental health issues is upheld and embraced, and is at the heart of all stages of research

The Foundation has an operational strategy 2023/2028.We are working with four strategic goals:

(1) To be a mental health research pioneer: innovating better research methods with a focus on lived experience expertise to progress a robust and inclusive knowledge base in mental health

(2) To achieve change through influencing and research impact: influence policy and practice to improve understanding of mental health and contribute to producing real changes that matter to the lives of individuals and communities

(3) To help people we are connected with to develop and flourish: placing an emphasis on personal growth and fulfilment across our networks, and providing a working environment that supports well-being

(4) To challenge inequality and injustice in society: prioritizing inclusive research work that combats inequality, discrimination, racism and oppression

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

Pioneering mental health research

Our goal is to maintain a balanced and sustainable portfolio of work across three key areas: influencing the work of others and building a strong and diverse sector; supporting others to deliver patient and public involvement (PPI) in research well; delivery of research and evaluation projects, including the employment of people with personal experience of mental health issues in project teams. Our model of work is to build collaborations and partnerships with others, both mental health specialists and those whose work relates to mental health. Highlights from each team are provided below:

Operations: We are updating our policies and have planned an office move to new premises. The new HR system - Breathe HR - is working well and we continue to support staff to work flexibly with the majority of staff working from home following the Covid-19 pandemic

The day-to-day work of the Foundation is overseen by a senior leadership team with responsibility for reviewing the portfolio of current projects and planning for new activities in line with our mission, vision and values.

Our influence

Our influence continues through working partnerships with a wide range of other organisations and membership of networks including the Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders, Young People's Mental Health Coalition, and advisory group membership with UKRI and Rethink Mental Illness. We have links to academic teams around the country and have spoken about our work at conferences including a plenary presentation in Lausanne, Switzerland. There is ongoing promotion of our core message - the importance of expertise from experience - across a range of communication channels including our e-newsletter, website, social media and new external training programme linked to our 10 for 10 resources.

Our supporter base

Our McPin involvement network is growing into a thriving community of people interested in and doing patient and public involvement (PPI) work. Our young people's network continues to grow. We engaged 229 different people with lived experience in groups and workshops to shape mental health research.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Funding research

We part-funded a PhD studentship at UCL (25%), exploring wellbeing among academics. The resource to set-up the peer research academy including the funding of peer PhDs, remains with more work required before this initiative can be launched. We do still co-chair the Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders and have joined the International Alliance of Mental Health Research Funders. We host the Words that Carry On - Lindsay's legacy fund which has commissioned a research study from City University exploring personality disorders and autism, and includes a PhD studentship concluding March 2025 (extended by 6 months).

Our sustainability

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our current business model means that we are primarily dependent on grant income. We generate very little income through fundraising. It remains an ambition for the Foundation to generate matched funding for our peer research academy plans.

Public benefit

The trustees believe that they have complied with their duties as described under the Charities Act 2011. The Foundation works with partners to improve the delivery of mental health research, develop the sector, and through its own activities seek to achieve change and growth to benefit public wellbeing. In particular, the Foundation is focused on placing experts from experience (people with experience of managing a mental health issues or their relatives / friends in roles of carer) at the heart of mental health research activities from design, delivery through to dissemination of findings including knowledge transfer and implementation planning.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

In our 2021/2022 accounts we set out the aims we wanted to achieve by year end 31st March 2023. We outline progress against each activity below

This has been achieved - we have new values and four strategic goals that were co-produced by staff and our supporters. We worked with external facilitators to assist this process. Interviews with 10 sector leaders were particularly useful giving feedback on McPin over the past 10 years.

This has been completed - on time and budget. Our website is more accessible, searchable and engaging.

These are all in progress and will be launched before the end of December 2023. We have a clear plan and content for each resource and they will be released in the following order: Using lived experience in the workplace, co-research, co-production, well-being at work, mentoring podcast, accessible meetings for young people, PPI, Peer research, Learning from our antiracism action plan, an Ode to Peer Research video.

Our project commissions are on track including the partnership with Birmingham and our community transformation evaluations. At the end of March 2023 we were working on over 60 different pieces of work or projects the largest being: CONNECT, RESOLVE, ASCEND, Community Navigators2, TYPPEX, STOP, STTAMP, SASH, Agency2, E-Risk, Crisis Skylights evaluation, Co-Pics, Adverse events Dictionary, SPHR-public mental health programme and PHILM.

Fundraising activities

We had no McPin core fundraising activities; our fundraising income was £0 (2023: 0).

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position

Our overall position remains positive with reserves at 31 March 2024 of £2,307,960 (2023 £2,359,080).

The Foundation received donations and gifts in the year totalling £1,788.12 (2023 £233,663) and the deficit for the year was £51,120 (2023: £315,838). This is after an unrealised gain of £74,177 (2023 loss £40,486) on investments, which are deducted from the accumulated fund, leaving a balance to be carried forward of £2,307,960.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

McPin's policy is to hold enough reserves to cover all project commitments, along with 12 months of running costs. In addition, we believe beneficiaries are best served through the existence of a specialist mental health research charity working to champion expertise by experience in all aspects of research, which requires contingency reserves because we have no donor base and uncertain contract income. The reserves policy require reserves of approximately £2m plus contingency funding for long term sustainability.

Project commitments include: the setting up of a peer research academy using a tied donation made in 2017; WTCO funding for research projects; resourcing our two final 10 for 10 resources based on learning at McPin over 10 years, as well as dissemination plan; developing our LEAPs and YPAGs, training peer researchers at McPin.

Going concern

The trustees have considered going concern, and are satisfied that under current plans, the charity can continue to operate as a going concern.

FUTURE PLANS

We are committed to developing the mental health research sector, looking for opportunities to increase the number of experts by experience who work with us, and supporting their career development. The Foundation has been operating for 11 years as a mental health research specialist charity. We are committed to developing the charity, and working closely with our management team to decide how best to do so. We do have some changes in the senior leadership team.

In the next year (to year end 31st March 2025) we aim to:

-Develop an impact and influencing strategy and encourage all staff to identify potential in project work to impact more directly policy, the research ecosystem, and local communities

-Deliver commissioned projects including Peer Action Collective, Mind self-supported help evaluation, SUNRISE, Citizen Science review, running PPI programmes in CONNECT, ASCEND, STOP, Community Navigators2, Co-Pics, IMAT, SASH and E-Risk.

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.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

A Meadows was appointed in 2009, E Harding in 2013 , C. Chilvers in 2017 and four new trustees joined 19/3/2019 R McCabe, C Lodge, N Cope and C Benari. Nick McNally was appointed on the formation of the Foundation. A further four Trustees joined 27/1/2021 L Anstey, R Dore, N Ali and L Karageorghis. Their backgrounds enable the Foundation to develop its research and PPI (patient and public involvement) in research programmes, provide the right skills and experience essential to good governance and charity development.

Trustees meet formally three times a year, but are in regular contact between meetings. They also meet for strategy days with the McPin team. In 2023-2024 there were 3 formal meetings: September and November 2023 and March 2024. Trustees met in July 2023 for the 10th Birthday celebration of McPin. The Trustees are trustees for the purpose of charity law and directors for the purpose of company law.

Report of the Trustees

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure

Dr Vanessa Pinfold was appointed as Research Director for the charity on 1st April 2014. She leads and manages the charity reporting to the Independent Trustee Group (ITG). The ITG is chaired by Nathan Cope, and full membership is open to all un-related trustees to the McNally or Pinfold family, although it is currently a smaller group with membership A Meadows, L Anstey, C Benari and L Karageorghis. The research director prepares regular reports to the trustees and attends board meetings. The staff are organised into four structural teams (research, public involvement in research, communications, and organisational support) but mostly work as project teams bringing together expertise from across our staffing resource. Our work requires us to operate flexibility and therefore we have a core group of staff supplemented by contracted employees working on short fixed term contracts. During the reporting period we had 38 people working as staff on payroll (20 FTE) and we worked with 255 LEAP members/ consultants / advisors.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of THE MCPIN FOUNDATION for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

AUDITORS

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

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 29[th] November 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

Dr N J McNally - Trustee

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of THE MCPIN FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of THE MCPIN FOUNDATION (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 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).

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 8

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of THE MCPIN FOUNDATION

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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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.

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 THE MCPIN FOUNDATION

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 2024

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, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

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.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated and apportioned in accordance with the terms of each contract or agreement

Tangible fixed assets

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

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Taxation

Under the provisions of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, and the Taxation of Chargeable Gain Act 1992, the company is not subject to taxation, on the grounds that it is a registered charity and its income is applied solely for charitable purposes..

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of material funds is included in the trustees' report.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Investment income, donations and similar incoming resources

Investment income, donations and similar incoming resources are accounted for on an accruals basis.
