Mission Statement

“To offer friendship, develop support and reduce social isola�on of those of us living with Mental Ill Health and their Carers.”

Aims and Objec�ves

Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects in the company’s memorandum of associa�on are to:

Main Ac�vi�es delivering Public Benefit

Contact Morpeth Mental Health and its charitable work is seen as crucial, offering friendship, support and reducing social isolation for those living with Serious Mental Illness and their carers, delivering vital services and activities, reaching beneficiaries across a wide area of South East Northumberland.

Made possible through the provision of a safe space and drop - in Centre for individuals whose lives have been severely affected by Serious Mental Illness, delivering a wide range of mentally stimulating activities and services which encourage participation as individuals or in a group setting, ultimately improving wellbeing and mental health, bringing about a reduction in the social isolation experienced by many.

Companionship is encouraged in a fun and friendly environment, which in turn is non-judgmental.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document:

Contact (Morpeth Mental Health Group) Ltd. is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 26 March 2007 and registered as a charity on 1 August 2008 (originally registered as an unincorporated charity on 22 May 1986). The company was established under a Memorandum of Associa�on which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Ar�cles of Associa�on. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment and Appointment of Board of Trustees:

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout this report are collec�vely referred to as the Board. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Ar�cles of Associa�on the Trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years a�er which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Mee�ng.

All members of the Board of Trustees give their �me voluntarily and receive no benefits or personal/travel expenses from the charity. The Board seeks to ensure that the needs of service users are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body.

A broad mix of skills is represented on the Trustee Board. Contact Morpeth is always looking to recruit people with strengths in the areas of Marke�ng, HR, Business Management and Funding / Fundraising.

Trustee Induc�on and Training:

Copies of the Memorandum and Ar�cles of Associa�on and the latest financial statements are distributed to all new trustees. The Board is reviewing the induc�on and training for its trustees to provide a more structured approach.

Addi�onally, new trustees are invited and encouraged to meet with staff and volunteers as well as a�end dropin sessions and social ac�vi�es to familiarise themselves with the charity’s ac�vi�es and the beneficiaries of the charity.

Risk Management:

Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mi�gate the risks the charity faces. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementa�on of procedures for authorisa�on of all transac�ons and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of all staff, volunteers, services users and visitors to the centre. These policies / procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they con�nue to meet the needs of the charity.

Organisa�onal Structure:

Contact (Morpeth Mental Health Group) Ltd. had a Board of 5 trustees who meet monthly and are responsible for the strategic direc�on and policy of the charity. At present the Board has members from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity.

Responsibili�es of the Board of Trustees:

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Contact (Morpeth Mental Health Group) Ltd. (for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable Iaw and United Kingdom Accoun�ng Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce).

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 applica�on 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 accoun�ng records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any �me the financial posi�on 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 preven�on and detec�on of fraud and other irregulari�es.

Members of the Board of Trustees who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.

In accordance with company law, as the company’s directors, we cer�fy that:

Chairpersons Report

It is with great pleasure and a sense of profound responsibility that I present my Chairpersons annual report for Contact Morpeth Mental Health Group for the year 2022-2023. Once again this year has been a testament to our commitment to fostering mental well-being, advoca�ng for those in need, and championing mental health awareness.

Despite the challenges posed by the increases in Mental Ill Health, “The Cost of Living” and rising costs our charity has con�nued to adapt and evolve in mee�ng the changing and challenging needs of our community.

Contact Morpeth Mental Health Group has like many other organisa�ons experienced a drama�c increase in the demand for our services and support, especially for our vital Free Counselling Services.

We con�nue to receive regular referrals and self-referrals for this service from across South East Northumberland, working closely with GP Surgeries/ Community Link Workers / Social Prescribers and Crisis Teams. On occasions we have paused referrals due to high demand in managing caseloads and ensuring a quality service. Over the years our client base has diversified, presen�ng both challenges and opportuni�es. We now have a mix of ages and different complexi�es to deal with.

This service wouldn’t be possible without the commitment and professionalism shown and provided by our dedicated team of Volunteer Counsellors and Administra�on Staff.

Over 60 beneficiaries of our Free Counselling Service this year!

We continue to support beneficiaries not only from Morpeth but from across a large area of South East Northumberland. Additionally, we have expanded our reach through social media, engaging with thousands of followers across various platforms.

Again during the year we have spent a considerable amount of �me assis�ng people with Benefit advice and Applica�ons / Appeals, telephone assessments, a�ending Benefits Tribunals where needed, in addi�on to listening to any problems / issues members may have, most of which might not seem important to us but are extremely important to them.

Our members were able to have a great day out at Northumberland Zoo, with other day trips and holidays being planned.

Our Fundraising efforts, with valuable support from our local community have gone well with various Fundraising Events taking place, stalls at “Morpeth Town Fair” and “Morpeth Picnic In The Park” and supporters comple�ng the Great North Run and other sponsored events on our behalf.

4

As we aim to make a lasting difference to the lives of our beneficiaries we also anticipate their needs will continue to grow and the demand for our numerous services and activities will undoubtedly increase.

We are truly thankful for the financial support provided by The Hollon Trust, assisting our beneficiaries who are struggling financially.

We are also extremely grateful for all the financial support and dona�ons received throughout the year. Despite the economic uncertain�es, I am pleased to report that our charity remains financially stable. This is a testament to the unwavering support of our donors, sponsors, and partners, whose generosity enables us to con�nue our vital work. We are deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment to our cause.

Looking ahead, we are excited to build on the momentum of the past year and con�nue our mission of promo�ng mental health and well-being for all. With your con�nued support and dedica�on, I am confident that we will make even greater strides in the years to come.

In closing, I would like to express my sincere gra�tude to the board, staff, volunteers, and supporters who have contributed to the success of our charity. Your passion, dedica�on, and �reless efforts are truly inspiring, and I am honoured to work alongside each and every one of you.

A massive thank you, you’re all amazing!

Rhona Dunn BEM Chair, Contact Morpeth Mental Health

Services and Ac�vi�es

We have continued to improve, expand and provide our free vital Counselling / Therapy Service for those in need across South East Northumberland, using trained volunteer counsellors, also providing relief, advice and support on benefits / debt / housing and many other issues, all important to our beneficiaries.

We signed up our premises as a “Warm Space and Place” with Northumberland County Council.

Our tutor led “Funky Fitness” sessions continue to be in great demand, with individuals benefitting from improvements to their health as well as increased social interaction. Our Digital Camera / Photography group also proves popular as well as our informal IT sessions which assist our beneficiaries in becoming more Digitally Inclusive, with tutor led weekly sessions reaping the advantages of going online.

Over 600 hours of Counselling delivered this year!

Other weekly ac�vi�es include “Medita�on and Mindfulness” sessions, Cra� sessions, Card making, a “Discussion Group”, a Carers Support Group and a Film Club, which are all well a�ended.

Our Drop In Café the “Coffee Den ” generates valuable income, opera�ng daily run predominately by a great group of Volunteers, not only does it provide tea /coffee but nutri�ous warm subsidised meals, a vital place where members can feel accepted, socialise with others or just need to escape from their home se�ng.

During the year we held regular Quiz Fundraising evenings, some with food provided. We also raised funds for another charity with a Coffee Morning dona�ng over £300 to Macmillan Cancer Care.

We were fortunate enough to upgrade 4 office Computers with funding gratefully received from Northumberland County Council Community Chest scheme and The Rothley Trust.

Volunteers:

Contact Morpeth Volunteers are massively important to our success and are seen as an integral part of our team rather than seen as an “add on”. We could not operate the charity without them, seen as an essen�al part of our opera�ons and are invaluable to our work.

Contact’s Volunteers contribute in numerous roles such as one-to-one counselling, tutoring workshops and serving refreshments and lunches in our Coffee Den, as well as on our fundraising group and as Trustees. With approximately 25 volunteers between August 2022 and July 2023, having donated thousands of hours of their �me.

Volunteers gave over 3,500 hours of their time this year!

The Trustees and Staff would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the Volunteers for their con�nued enthusiasm, support and �me given selflessly to the service of our others. They are great fun to have around and no task is too much for them.

Plans for the future:

The charity plans to con�nue running the ac�vi�es outlined subject to sa�sfactory levels of funding being acquired, it also has plans to develop and deliver an Allotment Project as well as a Telephone Friendship scheme for our members. Also star�ng Crea�ve and Expressive Wri�ng Groups.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

For the year ended 31 July 2023

I report on the financial statements of Contact (Morpeth Mental Health Group) Limited for the year ended 31 July 2023, which are set out on pages 9 to 20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 July 2023

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2 Basis of accounting

2.1 Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts 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) (effective 1 January 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Contact (Morpeth Mental Health Group) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making their assessment the trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including their annual budget and future cash flows. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account measures that they can take with the current resources available to mitigate the impact of the current adverse conditions. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.

3 Income

3.1 Recognition of income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

3.2 Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.

3.3 Grants and donations

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 reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 July 2023

3.4 Donated goods and services

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.

3.5 Volunteer help

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

3.6 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 by the bank.

3.7 Investment gains and losses

This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

3.8 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

4 Expenditure and liabilities

4.1 Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

4.2 Charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of mentally stimulating activities, counselling/therapy and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 July 2023

4.3 Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

4.4 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

4.5 Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

4.6 Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

5 Assets

5.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis, a full years depreciation charge is applied in the year of acquisition and no charge is made in the year of disposal:

Caravan Straight line over seven years Office equipment Straight line over five years Computer equipment Straight line over three years
