The charity’s objects are specifically restricted to the following:
- to promote the preservation of good mental health in particular by enabling and empowering everyone experiencing mental health problems to live with, manage and recover from their condition

Stockport and District Mind Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31[st] March 2025
## 2 Achievements and performance
## 2.1 Mental Health Carers’ support
The support we provided for carers included Carers Choir, Drop-ins and Carers’ assessments.
Most referrals into the service are directly from carers themselves. We also receive a high number of referrals from the Pennine Care Mental Health Teams and other secondary care services since our staff have had a regular presence at mental health service locations, including Stepping Hill Hospital, Baker Street and Councillor Lane Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs).
The partnership we have with Signpost Stockport for Carers to deliver this service has proven to be very successful.
## 2.2 Stockport Mind Carers’ Choir
The Stockport Mind Carers’ Choir (Singing for Fun) has continued to thrive. The choir takes place at St Peter’s Church, St Petersgate, Stockport, and small donations have been kindly given by those who attend this group.
_“Joining the choir has opened up my life. It felt very supportive and safe. I have been searching for a choir like this for months. Now I have found it, for me it is perfect.”_
## 2.3 Thursday at One
This art and well-being group continues to be popular and run on a weekly basis. There is a core cohort of volunteers who support the group and staff from Stockport Mind are available if any group members need 1:1 support during the session. Average attendances are 12 people per session.
## 2.4 Olive Branch Mental Health Drop-in sessions
Stockport Mind have been facilitating a weekly drop in for the community of Edgeley which attend the Olive Branch support services. The attendees are those who face complex long-standing mental health challenges and have benefitted from a peer support group also with access for 1:1 advice. Due to lack of funding the Olive Branch are no longer able to fund this session, so it finished in February 2025.
## 2.5 Allotment
In 2023 Stockport Mind were lucky to be gifted an allotment plot at the Barnfield Rd East allotment. This provides an exciting opportunity to provide peer support groups, enhancing our well-being offer and therapeutic space. We have been supported by corporate businesses to prepare the plot, including safety, building of a shed, and provision of tools for the groups. A men’s group took place on the allotment during the year together with a nature in wellbeing group.
## 2.6 Music in Mind
In 2024 we were successful in receiving funding through The National Academy for Social Prescribing to work with Manchester Camerata to deliver Music in Mind sessions to those living with dementia and their carers. Since October we have delivered 2 sessions

Stockport and District Mind Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31[st] March 2025
a week in collaboration with Step Out day care in Reddish and trained a number of dementia champions to help facilitate the sessions. A further 2 sessions a week are to be delivered in May 2025 in Heaton Moor with the Heaton Moor United church. We have received exceptional feedback from the attendees and the funders.
## 2.7 Menopause Awareness training
The contract was awarded in October 2022 for a period of 3 years. We have successfully continued to deliver this training, alongside the other Greater Manchester Minds including Tameside, Oldham and Glossop (TOG) Mind, Rochdale Mind, Mind in Salford and Manchester Mind. Training has been delivered to managers and staff of SMEs during 2024/25, with over 600 people in over 400 SMEs receiving training over the course of the 3-years
## 2.8 Connect 5 training
Following on from winning a contract with Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council (SMBC) and the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership, we have continued to deliver Connect 5 mental wellbeing training to public and voluntary sector employees to help them care for their own wellbeing and for those around them. Some of this has been done on a ‘train the trainer’ basis and forms part of SMBC’s mental health and wellbeing strategy.
We have also continued to provide additional training on mental health awareness in the workplace to commercial organisations in the area.
## 2.9 Information Service and General Support, including Social Media
We have continued to provide telephone and website email access to offer a listening ear, to give short-term support, advice and information to callers, and where necessary refer them to other support organisations and statutory services.
We continue to increase our online presence, strengthen our communications output, and raise mental health awareness to our local community.
## 2.10 Volunteers
Stockport and District Mind relies heavily on volunteers; this includes the Trustees/Board of Directors who are also unpaid workers. A number of volunteers have previously received the charity’s services and want to give something back so that others can benefit.
Volunteers provide energy, commitment and diversity, and support us with office reception cover; support to groups and social inclusion programmes; support to fundraising activities as well as other undertakings. We are extremely grateful to all of our volunteers recognising that a number of our services could not function without their support.
## 2.11 Trustees & Management
We would like to record our thanks to the three trustees who resigned in March as part of the merger process. Mark Baxendall has been a trustee since 2015; Lucy Dewhurst and Janet Lomas since 2022. Janet continues her separate role as a volunteer.
We would also like to thank Sarah Powell for all her work in managing the organisation during a challenging time and helping to make the merger process a success.

Finally, we want to thank Joanne Strickleton for her 22 years of service at Stockport Mind. Joanne took voluntary redundancy in February.
## 3 Financial review
## 3.1 Summary
Sources of income during the year were from general donations, Eric Wright Charitable Trust, Stockport Health Carer Support, Olive Community Projects, Mental Health Advocacy and Counselling Services.
Total income at the end of the financial year was £188,892 and this represented a marginal increase of 1.4% from the previous year. Total expenditure at the end of the financial year was £281,412 and this represented an increase of 1.8% from the previous year. The result was a deficit of £92,520.
A 2-year lease (taken out in 2023) provided our office space in the Cornerstone building in central Stockport until February 2025, at which point staff moved to temporary accommodation at Disability Stockport.
The trustees ensured careful control of costs in the uncertain economic environment but agreed to self-finance continued volunteer co-ordination and helpline services through our reserves.
A merger with Tameside, Oldham and Glossop (TOG) Mind took place on 7th March 2025 (see section 4).
## 3.2 Reserves
It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain operational reserves held at a level that equates to a minimum of three months expenditure based upon expected levels for the following year. The identified level provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration, and support costs; allows short term funding for projects until further funding is obtained or match funding for new projects, where required; and accommodates changes in funding by statutory authorities.
The Reserves policy is reviewed on an annual basis by the Board.
## 3.3 Investment policy and objectives
Month to month cash surpluses during the year and reserves are maintained in interest bearing investments using the CAF Charity Deposit Platform, managed by Flagstone Investment Management.
The Board considers the risks relating to these to be appropriate.
5
Stockport and District Mind Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31[st] March 2025
## 4 Plans for the future
The Board had recognised for some time that the organisation is too small, with disproportionate overheads. The strategy had been to aim for growth, while preparing for potential consolidation (e.g. merger). With diminishing reserves the risk of reliance on growth alone was judged to be too high and the Board decided to approach potential partners to discuss options, aiming for a consolidation decision by March 2025.
In October 2024 we agreed with Tameside Oldham and Glossop Mind to merge the two organisations. We spent 5 months working jointly on this and, in March 2025 the two organisations merged together. The joint organisation, Tameside, Oldham Glossop and Stockport Mind hope to continue and expand the services of Mind in Stockport.
## 5 Structure, governance, and management
5.1 Governing document
The Charitable Company is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company. The Company was formed on 18[th] July 2006 and took over the staff and assets of Stockport and District Association for Mental Health on 1[st] July 2007.
The Articles of Association have subsequently been revised, most recently in October 2022.
A Scheme of Delegation is in place.
## 5.2 Company status
The Company is limited by guarantee and all members have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £10 in the event of a winding-up. The number of guarantees on 31[st] March 2025 was 4.
## 5.3 Recruitment and appointment of Trustees/ Directors
Trustees/Directors are recruited from a number of sources, including personal recommendation and approaches to specific organisations who can provide volunteers with particular skills. The Trustees have defined the skill profiles required for the make-up of the Board and seek people with the necessary background experience. The Board actively seeks to reflect the diversity of backgrounds and experience, including ‘lived experience’ of mental illness, of its members.
Under the current Articles, the Board shall comprise not less than three directors, with no upper limit. All members of the Board of Directors are Trustees of the Charity, and all Trustees are members of the Board of Directors.
Trustees are required to sign a Code of Conduct clearly detailing the role and obligations of Trustees. Each of the Trustees has been provided with a specification and definition of responsibilities relating to his/her specific role.
All members of the Board (along with staff and volunteers) are required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, in line with Charity Commission requirements in relation to safeguarding in organisations, where direct work takes place with vulnerable adults and/or children. All Board members have read the safeguarding guidance and have discussed it at Board meetings.
6
Stockport and District Mind Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 31[st] March 2025
All members of the Board give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the Charitable Company. Any expenses reclaimed from the Charitable Company are set out in note 9 to the accounts.
The Chair meets with all prospective Trustees to provide information and discusses the fit between the prospective Trustee and the organisation’s needs. Induction is provided and on-going training needs are identified as part of each Trustee’s annual review.
**6 Statement of responsibilities of the Trustees**
The Trustees (who are also directors of Stockport and District Mind 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 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 UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice 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 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.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are Directors for the purposes of company law, and Trustees for the purposes of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Stockport and District Mind
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 9 to 23.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation
uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)),
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Stockport and District Mind meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRSIO2.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless
otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The Board had recognised for some time that the organisation is too small, with
disproportionate overheads. The strategy had been to aim for growth, while preparing for
potential consolidation (e.g. merger). With diminishing reserves the risk of reliance on
growth alone was judged to be too high and the Board decided to approach potential
partners to discuss options, aiming for a consolidation decision by March 2025.
In October 2024 we agreed with Tameside Oldham and Glossop Mind to merge the two
organisations. We spent 5 months working jointly on this and, in March 2025 the two
organisations merged together. The joint organisation, Tameside, Oldham Glossop and
stockport Mind hope to continue and expand the services of Mind in Stockport. The Board
consider it approriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis as no
material adjustment to the charity's assets and liabilities will be needed. The assets and
liabilities of have been transfered to the merged organisation.

Stockport and District Mind
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
c Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance
conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether'capital, grants or'revenue, grants, is
recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions
attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and
the amount can be measured reliablv and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is
aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has
been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a
distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacyi in whole or in part, is only
considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been
notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been
notified to the charityi or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria
for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent
asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the
criteria for income recognition are met.
d Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the
charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have
been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is
probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the
Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised. refer to the trustees,
annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis
of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been
willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open
market. a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
e Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be
measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or
payable bv the Bank.
