Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 March 2025 (including directors’ report)

Public benefit, objectives, and activities

Public Benefit

The charity’s activities have been undertaken with due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Objectives

The objects of Teesside Mind under its Memorandum and Articles of Association are:

promote the preservation of good mental health, by enabling and empowering everyone experiencing mental health problems to live with, manage and recover from their condition
relieve the needs of people with mental health problems by working to increase understanding of mental health and its associated problems by gathering and disseminating information and working to raise awareness, promote understanding and challenge stigma and discrimination.

Teesside Mind’s overall vision is for the people of Teesside to enjoy good mental health, enabling them to lead full and happy lives.

Our purpose is to deliver activities, projects and services that support individuals to improve their mental health and help address the underlying causes of poor emotional and mental health, particularly for those in the poorest health and worst social circumstances.

Our vision and purpose remain constant, but what we deliver changes all the time, as we innovate, gather new insights, learn from others, secure new funding and develop our approach.

In our strategy, we aim to achieve a balance between ambition and sustainability.

We continue to work as part of the Mind network across England and Wales towards our shared ambitions and goals.

Activities

Our plans during the year focussed on working in partnership with other organisations to meet increasing need for mental health support. We did this without the level of resourcing really needed. The Government’s Darzi review recognised that “There is a fundamental problem in the distribution of resources between mental health and physical health. Mental health accounts for more than 2 per cent of the disease burden but less than 10 per cent of NHS expenditure”.

The projects and services provided during the year included:

Advocacy – We provided Independent Mental Health Advocacy, Independent Mental Capacity Advocacy, Care Act Advocacy, Relevant Person’s Representative Advocacy and General / nonstatutory advocacy to ensure people’s rights were upheld, they were equipped with the information they needed to make decisions about their care and had their voices heard in relation to their treatment and futures.
Appropriate Adult – We recruited, trained and managed a team of volunteer Appropriate Adults who were on call to Cleveland Police custody service to support vulnerable adults who are being detained or questioned by the police.
Arts and Minds – In partnership with Stockton ARC, we delivered an arts, crafts and social programme to support wellbeing through creativity, skills development and social contact. This project ended during the year.
Be Heard – We established two Be Heard drop-ins in Guisborough and Thornaby which provided safe spaces for young people aged 11-16 who experienced mental health difficulties to feel listened to and understood.

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

Carers’ support – We provided information, emotional and practical support for families and friends (unpaid carers) of people experiencing mental health problems. We worked with GPs and the wider primary care workforce to enable them to better identify carers and refer them on to community services available to support them.
Children, young people and their families – We provided evidence-based psychoeducation, emotional wellbeing support and psychological therapies to children and young people experiencing mild to moderate emotional difficulties and mental health problems, most often in a school setting.
Community Mental Health Transformation – In three localities, we supported the national NHS agenda on transformation of community mental health. In Middlesbrough, we led a partnership of seven local voluntary organisations working alongside the NHS and Local Authority to provide voluntary sector support for people in need of community mental health services, focusing on people experiencing severe difficulties. In Redcar and Cleveland, we were a delivery partner supporting people within the local partnership. In Stockton-on-Tees, we contributed to the planning of new community services through the Steering Group.
Dementia Outreach and Advisory Service – We provide dementia information and advice to people living with Dementia, their families and wider communities across Redcar and Cleveland.
Financial difficulties – We worked with Mind, local Trussell Trust foodbanks and local Citizens Advice to develop a joined-up response to people experiencing mental health difficulties and money problems called Help through Hardship. We worked with Mind to develop and deliver a package of support for people experiencing mental health issues and money worries, called Money and Me. These projects ended during the year.
Maternal Mental Health – We delivered a prototype service in partnership with the NHS and Ways to Wellness to provide link worker support and peer support for pregnant women and women with babies aged under two years. This project ended in September 2024.
Off the Scales - We developed an alternative approach to traditional and commercial ‘weight management’ programmes with people for whom these have never worked, focusing on an individual’s relationship with food and self-image. The aim is to support people to make positive and sustainable changes, which will improve their health and wellbeing, regardless of their body size. We piloted the programme through our Recovery College.
Talking Therapies for Anxiety and Depression, Employment Advisers and Recovery Support (Impact on Teesside) – We worked in partnership with Alliance Psychological Therapies to deliver NHS Talking Therapies for Anxiety and Depression, employment adviser support and community mental health recovery support across Teesside. We delivered wellbeing courses through the Recovery College. We trained people with lived experience of mental health problems to volunteer as college co-tutors and to provide peer support.
Redcar and Cleveland Wellbeing service – We provided person-centred mental health and wellbeing support to residents of Redcar and Cleveland. Through one to one emotional and practical support and community-based groups, we ensured that the support we offered was accessible to those who needed it.
Social Prescribing – we provided Social Prescribing Link Worker support for people registered with GP practices across three Primary Care Networks in Middlesbrough and one in Stockton-onTees. We provided person-centred, holistic support based on the ‘What matters to me’ approach, addressing broad health and social issues and connecting people with community-based services and activities that were of interest and benefit to them.
Supported Self-Help – We provided six-week guided programmes over the phone to help people understand and manage their feelings. It incorporated listening, emotional support, goal setting and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-style tools.
Workplace wellbeing and private counselling services – We provided tailored consultancy and designed and delivered customised mental health programmes for employers and their workforces. We provided paid therapy service to respond to employee and employer needs.

Volunteering

During the year, our Charity was supported by 55 people undertaking formal volunteering roles. They contributed 2,104 hours of their time through volunteering. In addition, many people also contributed informally by volunteering at one-off fundraising events or other pop-up volunteering opportunities.

Feedback from volunteers included:

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

“I wanted to do something worthwhile that would genuinely benefit the community. This role felt like the perfect fit.” “Having worked in mental health, the role felt like a natural fit. It gave me a real sense of purpose again, and I knew I was doing something meaningful to support others.”

“What I love about it is the flexibility. I have a busy lifestyle, but I can still fit this in. It’s a role you take on because you want to, not because you have to — and that makes all the difference.”

“The support I’ve had has been amazing. The team of volunteers feels like a little family. We help and encourage each other, and that makes all the difference.”

Fundraising

We are incredibly grateful for the support received from individual donors, corporate partners, and community fundraisers throughout the year. Their contributions played a vital role in sustaining our services and extending our reach across Teesside. Our fundraising team continued to expand its portfolio of activities to generate unrestricted income and raise awareness of Teesside Mind’s work. New initiatives such as festival fundraising and match-funding campaigns were introduced, and strong emphasis was placed on building lasting relationships with donors and supporters. This approach ensured that contributors understood the impact of their efforts and felt connected to the organisation’s mission.

Fundraising activities were coordinated directly by our team, with no involvement from professional fundraisers or commercial participators. All direct marketing was managed in-house to ensure it remained appropriate and respectful. We are pleased to report that no complaints were received regarding fundraising activity during the year.

Success included:

Daniel Watson and family completed the national three-peaks challenge in his Mum’s memory raising over £5,000.
Corporate support continued to grow, with double the number of local businesses supporting compared to the previous year. Corporate donations included £5,000 from Platinum Partner Vision Building Services and £4,870 from Glanbia Performance Nutrition.
We were delighted to be chosen as Jacksons Law Firm’s Charity of the Year, a partnership which included colleagues volunteering, donations in-kind towards our Be Heard youth drop-in service and a Golf Day, the £2,000 raised from which was match-funded.
A week-long Christmas match-funding campaign through the Big Give platform, and championed by The Monday Charitable Trust, raised £21,200.
Our schools programme of Colour Runs and Mental Elf Runs grew considerably, raising £16,000 and £23,000 respectively from 24 different schools’ events. Local business Forrest Digital sponsored a series of 16 wellbeing assemblies throughout the year.
The Middlesbrough Half Marathon, a new challenge event in our portfolio, raised over £4,000 at the year end, including match-funding from CF Fertilisers.

Achievements and performance

Over the past year, we provided support services to more than 15,000 individuals through our community, schools and workplace programmes (2024: 10,500) and reached over 17,000 people through our Impact on Teesside partnership (2024: 17,000). This represents a significant achievement and is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of our staff and volunteers.

Within Impact on Teesside, over 800 individuals received one-to-one support through our Recovery and Foundations team and Recovery College, led by Teesside Mind. These services empowered people to make meaningful changes in their lives and pursue new personal goals.

We continued to deliver NHS-funded social prescribing services in collaboration with local Primary Care Networks (PCNs). Our current partnerships include Central Middlesbrough PCN, Holgate PCN, Greater Middlesbrough PCN, and BYTES PCN, covering 24 GP practices and employing 25 Social Prescribing Link Workers. During the year, we supported 3,400 individuals, with an average reported improvement in wellbeing of 79.5%. Our delivery model remained diverse and inclusive, offering drop-in sessions, walking groups, bereavement cafés and workshops, arts and crafts groups, and non-clinical healthy lifestyle pathways.

One service user, Sarah, shared her experience:

“I was in a bad place and felt totally lost.”

With support from a Social Prescriber, Sarah began to open mail she had avoided for months, including court notices related to unpaid Council Tax. Her Social Prescriber helped her engage with the relevant services and establish a payment plan. Through sessions focused on organisation and confidence-building, Sarah secured a new job and regained control of her life.

Our Children and Young People’s team continued to collaborate with stakeholders to meet increasing demand. The team worked directly with primary and secondary schools across Teesside. Our Schools in Mind service supported over 570 children and young people on a one-to-one basis, with 86% demonstrating meaningful progress towards their individual goals, as evidenced through the Child Outcomes Research Consortium.

A parent commented:

“My daughter’s confidence has come on leaps and bounds since meeting you – thank you for all your guidance, patience and advice. She’s happy and comfortable in her own skin and feels less socially awkward. It’s lovely to see how her emotional resilience has improved over the last few weeks.”

We provided essential support to carers of individuals with mental health challenges, as well as carers managing their own wellbeing. Services included one-to-one emotional wellbeing sessions, practical coaching, advice, and facilitated peer support groups in Middlesbrough and Redcar. Support was delivered via face-to-face, telephone, and video sessions, complemented by community outreach and events. The service responded to increased referrals, enhanced its neurodiversity awareness, and adopted simplified, relatable communication. We expanded our reach to include groups within Roseberry Park Hospital and local GP surgeries. Case studies demonstrate improved emotional wellbeing, increased independence, and reduced isolation among carers facing complex challenges.

In its first year, the Dementia Advice and Outreach Service (DAOS) delivered a broad range of support including tailored one-to-one wellbeing sessions, telephone advice, community outreach, monthly newsletters, and the evidence-based Strategies for Relatives (START) programme. Peer support groups were established and expanded across community venues, and accessible service information and resources were developed. Additional funding enabled the recruitment of a new team member, allowing START to be delivered by trained volunteers and increasing community reach. Future plans include developing services for younger people with dementia, expanding volunteer-led START groups, and adapting services for those in the early stages of dementia.

Our Workplace Wellbeing service provided consultancy and bespoke mental health and wellbeing training to a range of public and private sector organisations across Teesside, including Stockton Borough Council, Glanbia, and Johnson Matthey. We introduced new workshops based on common themes identified by organisations and launched free monthly webinars on a variety of topics. We also developed partnerships with the Chamber of Commerce, CIPD, and local VCSE organisations.

Feedback from a training delegate at Fujifilm included:

“The course was very informative. We had a great instructor with a beautiful attitude towards mental health and an obvious passion for the topic and teaching others.”

Sue was supported by our Recovery team and shared her story with us. (The name of the individual has been changed).

“I want to say thank you so, so much. I haven’t had the best experiences with mental health professionals in the past, I wasn’t the best person to deal with and it was a bit like a rollercoaster from one week to the next, but I always felt like they [our staff] never lost patience, and they never gave up. I always feared the worst, but they never judged, they always tried to understand, and they never fobbed me off or tried to get me to ‘move forward’.

They listened to what mattered to me and made me feel heard for the first time in a long time, they’re part of a very small handful of people that ever have. Instead of being taught that everything was a symptom of BPD and feeling that every emotion was wrong or an overreaction, like I was faulty, a problem patient, a bad person, lazy and didn’t want to put the work in, wanted others to fix me, manipulative, a silly little girl and badly behaved - they helped me to feel like it was ok to feel again and they helped me to understand why I was feeling that way, they made me feel completely the opposite to everything I’ve felt over the previous years. They made me feel like I mattered, that how I felt mattered, that the things that were important to me mattered, how I reacted mattered, everything I’d been through mattered. Like I was a person again.

I’d got to the point where I felt so embarrassed and ashamed to even say my own name because I felt like everywhere I went it was ‘oh it’s her again, what’s the problem this time’ and constantly just wanted to disappear and start again somewhere nobody knew me, but I’m slowly learning to say it again. They helped me to feel like it was ok to stand up for myself again and helped me learn to tell the difference between when to fight and when to give in. Helped me learn not to give up, like I was allowed to have a say and instead of the false ‘you’re in control of your own life and you have choices’. I actually do feel like I have control over my own life and I have choices now. I can leave things and people behind that aren’t good for me and I don’t need to lash out or show them how angry I am anymore.

Instead of giving me false hope, they gave me real confidence. Yes, I still have issues and still have bad days, but I feel like I have the confidence to take on the world now and to tackle the bad days without giving up. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I don’t need anybody to save me, I can save myself -but if this amazing lady and this service hadn’t come into my life, I know for certain I wouldn’t have my son back in my life again now and in all probability I wouldn’t be alive. For the first time in a long time, I can say ‘I won’t be back’ with confidence, and for a good reason. Thank you so much from me and thank you so much for giving my mam his son back.”

Financial review

Financial Review

The charity’s total income for the financial year was £5,076,844, representing a decrease of £801,625 compared to the previous year (2024: £5,878,469). This reduction comprises a £384,581 decline in unrestricted income and a £417,044 decrease in income from restricted funded projects.

Total expenditure for the year amounted to £5,137,012, a reduction of £281,453 from the previous year (2024: £5,418,465). This includes a £147,572 increase in service delivery costs funded through unrestricted and designated funds, offset by a £429,025 decrease in spending on restricted funded projects.

Reserves Policy

In accordance with Charity Commission guidance, the charity maintains a Reserves Policy based on a realistic assessment of future liabilities. During the year, the Trustees reviewed the policy and reaffirmed the approach of holding general reserves at £1,480,000 (2024: £1,480,000), with any surplus at year-end allocated to designated reserves for infrastructure investment and service innovation. The policy is reviewed by the Board on a six-monthly basis. At year-end, the charity held free reserves of £1,245,704.

While recognising the ongoing economic uncertainty in 2025, the Trustees remain committed to using a proportion of reserves to advance the charity’s objectives. In response to increasing demand and pressure on services, the Trustees identified young people as a priority area for additional support.

Designated Funds

Designated reserves stood at £1,128,864 at year-end, in line with the revised policy. This includes £36,967 allocated to the Capital Asset Fund, representing investment in the refurbishment of the Lothian Road premises, which is being amortised over the lease term.

A three-year plan is in place for the use of designated funds, focusing on infrastructure development, volunteer support, and enhanced services for young people. Expenditure from designated funds during the year totalled £80,705.

Social and Financial Investment

The charity holds one social investment through an agreement with Mind Matters (Trading Activities) Limited, providing capital in exchange for a share of surplus. Financial investments are managed to achieve optimal returns within an acceptable risk profile, taking into account administrative costs.

Plans for the future

Over the next three years, our strategic focus will centre on addressing the root causes and consequences of poor mental health across Teesside, with particular attention to economic inequality, young people’s mental health, and social isolation. We will continue to strengthen adult services through deeper integration with Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust (TEWV) and expansion of peer support and crisis alternatives, including support for hospital discharge. Our commitment to NHS-funded services will be sustained and scaled across Teesside, with a proactive approach to anticipated reforms under the NHS 10-year Plan. In primary care, we will maintain our leadership in social prescribing and Talking Therapies, while preparing for the development of Neighbourhood Hubs. For children and young people, we aim to enhance digital support, expand dropin services, and explore opportunities through Youth Hubs and the National Youth Strategy. We will also grow our dementia support offer and collaborate with TEWV to improve services for older adults. Recognising the financial constraints faced by all public services, we will seek innovative ways to deliver public health initiatives and community-based services in partnership with statutory bodies. Our strategy will be shaped by lived experience, volunteer insight, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring our services remain responsive, inclusive, and impactful.

Structure, Governance and Management

Legal Status and Governing Document

Teesside Mind Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24 July 2006. The organisation is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which set out its charitable objectives and operational framework.

Trading Subsidiary

Teesside Mind Limited has a trading subsidiary, Middlesbrough & Stockton Mind Trading Limited. This company did not engage in any trading activity during the financial year and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future.

Appointment and Induction of Trustees

Trustees are recruited through public and targeted advertisements to ensure a diverse mix of skills, experience, and representation of the local community. Trustees are appointed for a three-year term, after which they retire. Retiring trustees may be reappointed. No external body has the authority to appoint trustees.

New trustees receive a comprehensive induction covering their legal responsibilities under charity and company law. This includes access to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and other key governance documents. Trustees are encouraged to participate in relevant internal and external training opportunities to support their contribution to the charity’s work.

Organisational Structure

The Board of Trustees meets six times per year to oversee governance and strategic direction. Operational responsibility is delegated to the Chief Executive, who leads the implementation of the strategic plan, manages staff, and oversees fundraising. The Chief Executive reports regularly to the Board and is supported by the Senior Leadership Team.

The Mind Network and Related Parties

Teesside Mind is a member of the Mind network through the Mind Federation Agreement. This affiliation does not affect Teesside Mind’s operational policies. The organisation plays an active role in influencing wider systems and services for the benefit of people experiencing mental health challenges, drawing on local insight and lived experience. This is achieved through participation in multi-agency partnerships and by empowering individuals and families to raise issues themselves.

Pay Policy for Senior Staff

The Senior Leadership Team is considered the key management personnel responsible for the day-today operation of the charity. Their remuneration is reviewed annually and benchmarked against comparable roles within the local and regional voluntary sector.

All trustees serve in a voluntary capacity and received no remuneration during the year. Details of trustee expenses are disclosed in Note 13 to the accounts.

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

Risk management

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees recognises that the principal risks facing the charity stem from the increasingly uncertain public service funding environment. This includes the growing demand for mental health support, pressure on statutory services, and the limited resources available to meet these needs. These challenges have implications for both the charity’s current operations and its strategic direction over the next five to ten years.

To manage these risks effectively, the charity has established a robust risk management framework. Key elements include:

Six-monthly reviews of strategic risks and mitigation plans at Trustee and Senior Leadership Team meetings.
Regular updates to the Risk Register, ensuring emerging risks are identified and addressed promptly.
Detailed risk management plans for priority areas.
Trustee oversight through the Finance, HR and Quality and Safety sub-groups.
Annual business and service/project planning to align operational activity with strategic priorities.
Sound financial management processes to support sustainability and resilience.

All major risks have been reviewed, and appropriate systems and procedures are in place to monitor and mitigate them. The Board remains committed to maintaining a proactive and responsive approach to risk management, ensuring the charity can continue to deliver high-quality mental health support to the communities it serves.

Statement of Trustee Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also directors of Teesside Mind Limited for the purposes of company law) 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).

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 the year. 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 2019 (FRS 102);
make judgements and 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 a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company 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 charitable company and 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:

there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware: and
• the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website.

Approved by the Board of Trustees on Monday 10th November 2025 and signed on its behalf by Ruth Smith.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Teesside Mind Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Teesside Mind Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities including Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements including significant accounting policies. 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:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 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 regard to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

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. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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.

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

Opinion on Other Matter Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the trustees’ report which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purpose of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 directors’ report included within 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:

adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of trustees/directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of charity 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.

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 about, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below;

Based on our understanding of the charitable company, we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to Company and Charity law, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

We evaluated management’s opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the engagement team include:

enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments;
assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias; and
reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely it is that we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

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 auditor’s report.

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 auditor’s 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 ACCOUNTS

1. (a) General information and basis of preparation

Teesside Mind Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 7 of these financial statements. Our main objective is to provide the high-quality projects and services that enable people experiencing emotional or mental health problems and their families to recover, increase wellbeing and build resilience.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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) issued in October. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The presentational currency used in the financial statements is sterling and balances are rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

(b) Accounting Policies

Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised, the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity, and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS102).

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

Accounting policies (continued)

Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside the control of the charity.

Fixed assets

Only fixed assets with an initial value or cost of at least £1,000 are considered for capitalisation. Fixed assets are initially recorded at purchase cost plus the costs of any directly attributable expenditure. The investment property was transferred from Redcar and Cleveland Mind at fair value, in the previous year. Subsequently, it is measured at fair value at the reporting date.

Investments including Social Investment

The Charity has a social investment in relation to an agreement with Mind Matters (Trading Activities) Limited, in that they provide investment in exchange for a share of the profit made. This investment is capitalised and then amortised over a period of five years.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the useful economic life of the asset. In view of the short-term nature of some of the restricted projects, the Board considers it prudent to write off fixed assets purchased from restricted funds in full in the year of acquisition.

The leasehold property alterations are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the 15-year term of the lease. Freehold property is depreciated over 50 years on a straight-line basis. Associated grant funding is shown as a designated fund and will be written down over the same period. The investment property is not depreciated.

Financial instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all its financial liabilities.

Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Teesside Mind Limited Trustees’ annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025

Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are those which can only be used in accordance with the wishes of the donor.

Pension contributions

The charitable company operates a Group Personal Pension Scheme, operated through the Pensions Trust, for the benefit of its own staff. Pension contributions to defined contribution schemes are written off to the statement of financial activities in the year to which they relate. The charity further contributes to a defined benefit pension scheme, The Teesside Pension Fund, for one employee that has TUPE transferred into the charity. The charity is not an admitted member of the Teesside Pension scheme. As a result, all employer contributions are shown as a cost in the SoFA and any unpaid pension contributions due at the year-end are included within Other Creditors.

Transfers between funds

The transfer from restricted funds to unrestricted funds represents management and administration charges earned on projects and any surpluses or deficits on the finalisation of projects (subject to funders agreement).

Subsidiary Company

Consolidated accounts have not been prepared this year as the wholly owned subsidiary, Middlesbrough & Stockton Mind Trading Limited, did not trade during the year and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This is currently under review for closure.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

There are no judgements (apart from those involving estimates) that have had a significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

The estimates and assumptions that could have a significant potential impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities are as follows:

Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets. These are set out in the depreciation policy note above and are the best estimate based on past experience and expected performance.
