Trustee's report continued

Public benefit statement

Maan Somali Mental Health Sheffield addresses the needs of members of the Somali Community experiencing severe enduring mental health problems and supporting Sheffield NHS and other statutory provider agencies in order to contribute to a more effective delivery of mainstream services.

Achievements and performance

One to one support

During the past year we have supported 55 people, who needed support with their mental health recovery journey. Among these, there are a number people to whom we provided regular one to one support sessions. This support included signposting people to services such as vaccinations for both Covid 19 and the ‘flu, we also signposted people to health, social care and welfare services when needed.

As early as February and March 2022 we became increasingly aware that rising domestic fuel costs were becoming an issue for our service users, carers, family members and wider community. For those living in the community independently, managing home finances and household budget can be stressful and challenging at the best of times. As a team we prioritised and supported our most vulnerable service users to take a reading of their meters using phones to photograph these where possible. We supported our most vulnerable service users to note and record their energy meter readings on or before 31[st] March 2022, which was Meter Reading Day.

For service users who receive regular support, we worked with them to identify personalised plans for their recovery journey and wellbeing management. One of the key tools used is the Mental Health Recovery Star. We also use our own traffic light system to help people to improve an understanding of their mental health and overall wellbeing. We have also supported individuals to go to their GP for annual check-ups. In addition, we signposted people to other services such as immigration services, housing, benefits, health and social care provision and employment services.

Carers and family support

Working with carers and families we support their understanding and awareness of each person’s mental health condition and the associated services and support systems linked to personal recovery journeys. We encourage carers and other family members to be aware of the need to look after their own wellbeing. We help each person to understand the systems and structures which will form part of the wider support of the person they care for and / or are related to.

We promote self-care as an important part of carers and family members being able to support others. ‘Look after yourself, to be able to support others!’.

Wider community workshops

 Wider community workshops (22 sessions delivered to 170 people)

o Providing training / networking and mental health literacy workshops to Somali community groups / organisations and community members

o Wellbeing activities linking mental and physical wellbeing strategies for e.g. Burngreave Women’s Chair-Aerobics sessions

o We were able to facilitate conversations about the benefit of accessing blue and green landscapes as part of maintaining our well-being.

o People also discussed feelings and managing their overall emotional well-being in the context of the pandemic

Training service providers/joint working

o Somali Experience of Mental Health and Isolation: During the Pandemic workshop . Delivered via Zoom for health and social care providers and Somali community members delivered by Maan’s team on 29 March 2022 , 24 participants attended from various organisations.

o We explored ways to further embed our working relationship with the Limbrick Centre on 11/11/2021. We explored how to improve the focus on Somali mental health including ways to signpost early warning between our organisations; improve awareness of professional opportunities in the mental health field and gather more up to date information on the level of need across the community. Analysis of the levels and numbers of people being supported in crisis, including the provision of Home Treatment Team support.

o Ongoing in-reach into mental health units and wards to support and provide cultural connections for service users.

o Maan staff contribution to service user Care Programme Approach (CPA) meetings to help support future planning for individuals.

Covid Confidence and Vaccination Awareness Work

Maan continued to run engagement events and workshops to engage Somali community members in wellbeing sessions which raised awareness of Covid-19, encouraged debate, and questions and provided up to date and valid information around themes such as testing, self-isolation and vaccination.

 Maan, along with other voluntary sector organisations, provided support at the Burngreave Vestry Hall Pop up Vaccination. We took part in a BBC Look North News feature on 10th August 2021. Via Social media, in the period July to September, we engaged with 14,000 people.

Volunteers’ contribution to Maan’s work

Maan Somali Mental Health Sheffield believes that life experiences and the environment we live in play a major part of influencing our mental health. During the year we recruited and worked with 16 volunteers. Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and communities. We appreciate the commitment given by our volunteers.

The future and challenges for Maan in the coming year 2022/2023

During 2021/2022 Maan continued to strengthen our financial situation. Our successful fundraising strategy has allowed Maan to increase the total hours worked by our small core team of four Wellbeing and Support workers, and to make a modest improvement to their pay.

The mental wellbeing needs within the Somali community have increased over the course of the pandemic. The increasing inequalities in society, the impact of ten years of austerity, the current ‘cost of living crisis ‘ all have a negative impact on the Somali community, in addition to the particular challenges that they face which include the rise of Islamophobia and endemic racism among many others.

Maan recognises that however many paid hours and workers that we can afford, however hard our staff team work, however much mutual trust and support we build with the community, we can never think that we are addressing all the needs. The pandemic has laid bare the huge impact that poverty, racism and other structural inequalities have on people’s mental and physical wellbeing. Many previous reports have cited our immediate challenge as Maan as an organisation surviving. Thankfully this is not the case in 2022. The challen g e is how Maan can build on all our p revious work and ex p erience to tr y and find even more effective ways to support the mental wellbeing of the Somali community in Sheffield, and especially the individuals who experience the greatest mental health distress.

As always this report from the Trustees concludes with heartfelt thanks to Maan’s staff team, our volunteers, the service users, the Sheffield Somali community, other people and organisations we have worked with during the year, and to our funders.

Independent Examiner's report on the Accounts of MAAN Somali Mental Health Sheffield for the year ended 31 March 2022

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 12.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 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:

q examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

q to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

q to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

· to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
