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 50 people, in general who need support with their mental health recovery journey. For some people we provided a more focussed interaction, using one to one support on either a weekly, bi-weekly or more regular session when someone is experiencing very low mood. For this second group we are responding to different levels of need by supporting them to access mental health, social care and wider wellbeing services.

For all our service users we are also working alongside housing, welfare, utilities services etc. Communicating with wider service providers is part of our support, for people experiencing mental health crisis, it is vital to help people live in the community while building their skills to manage a home and all these relationships.

We continue to support our service users faced with the cost-of-living increases. This impacts our service users, carers, family members and the wider Somali community. Anyone feeling extreme anxiety, due to not feeling able to manage household bills and wellbeing, is potentially someone who couldneed the support from Maan and other social care services. For those living in the community independently, managing home finances and household budget can be stressful and challenging at the best of times. In addition, wesignposted people to other services such as immigration services, housing, benefits, health and social care provision and employment services.

Carers and family support

We encourage carers and other family members to be aware of the need to look after their own wellbeing. 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 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

Maan supports the wellbeing and understanding of the wider community. We deliver workshops on themes which we gain from our community development work at grass roots levels. Community development approaches underpins all our public health work.

 Wider community workshops (27events, workshops/ seminars, delivered to 331 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 and Active through Football in Burngreave led By Community Foundation

o Covid Confidence and Vaccination awareness sessions and support

o Encouraging community members to be physically active, which included promoting and supporting walking group led by Maan Volunteers

o Working and close partnership

Burngreave Women’s Wellbeing Group

During the year the focus and role of participants, including service users has developed. Using participatory evaluation, the group identified the changes the group has gone through since the end of the pandemic. The group is more focussed on providing space for peer support sessions for those with a lived experience of mental ill health.

During the year participants including four service users showed an interest in learning how to lead parts of the group session for Chair-Aerobics.Maan worked in partnership with Darnall Wellbeing to source a in house course for 15 learners. The course equipped participants with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to facilitate safe Chair-based exercises in community settings. The impact of service users, volunteers and Maan staff undertaking this course is that the roles of service users and volunteers has changed in a positive way.

Training service providers/joint working

o 12[th] May 2022 Maan AGM and Conference: During the event 73 participants, mainly drawn from the local Somali communities attended. The theme of the event explored routes to early intervention as part of the process of building Somali resilience. The event included small group workshop sessions where participants including service providers, community members and service users discussed experiences of accessing support at different stages of needs.

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

o Maan has playedan active role in the formation of SheffieldMental Health Alliance to support people with mental health issues in Shefield including Somali community. The Synergy mental health alliance has more than 100 members including voluntary organisations, decision makers from the local authority, GP’s, and experts by lived experience working together to improves the lives of people with mental health issues.

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-isolationand vaccination.

Volunteers’ contribution to Maan’s work

Our volunteers are the backbone of MAAN and help and support us with workshops and seminars. They are also active in our weekly physical activities. They inspire the community and as a result have many groups take part in activities such as weekly walks around the Burngreave area. Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and communities. We appreciate the commitment given by our volunteers.During this year we trained and recruited 16 volunteers. Maan appreciated volunteer’s role in promoting walking campaign in the community.

Maan team have worked with and supporting the following service providers:

The future and challenges for Maan in the coming year 2023/2024

One ongoing challenge for Maan is to try and provide support to the many individuals experiencing mental health issues, even when there are an increasing range of causes and triggers as described in this report.

The causes of mental ill health are many and complex. Maan is hoping to find a way of undertaking community-based research in order to understand better what, if anything, has changed over the past thirty years. In order for Maan, and others, to offer the most effective support possible.

Another challenge for Maan is the future and sustainability of Maan itself. Unfortunately, it looks like the services of Maan will be needed for many years in the future. Maan needs people from the younger generations to get involved in Maan and commit to sustaining it into the future.

Independent Examiner's report on the Accounts of MAAN Somali Mental Health Sheffield for the year ended 31 March 2023

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023, 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.
