REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
NORTH EAST WALES MIND LIMITED
Each year the Board of NE Wales Mind review what has been achieved over the past 12 months. The review looks at the success of each activity and the benefits it has brought to those groups of people the organisation is set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes (as above). The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the work of the organisation and the aims and objectives set.
WHO WE BENEFIT
Figures from Public Health Wales show that in 2023 the adult population of Flintshire and Wrexham (16+) was estimated to be 299,200. In a normal year 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year, so we can estimate that around 70,000 people in NE Wales will experience a mental health problem each year. Over their lifetime 17 in every 100 people will experience suicidal thoughts and three in every hundred will self-harm.
All of these people, their friends and relatives, may sometimes have a need for the information and support which NE Wales Mind aims to provide. Whilst most speak Welsh or English, we have joined together with national Mind to have an array of supportive literature available in multiple languages from Arabic, Polish, Romanian and many more.
Most of the services provided by NE Wales Mind were free to the end user (except for workplace wellbeing and some counselling services). Because of the funding available, most of the services were available to all adults 16 + living in Flintshire and Wrexham. Most services were open or self-referral (i.e. they were open to everyone and no selection criteria applied). The exception to this were the Parabl and Rhyl City Strategy services as these require an individual assessment prior to onward referral to NE Wales Mind.
The Trustees take the issue of equal access to services very seriously and have an equal opportunities policy which sets out the organisation's commitment to equal opportunities for all to access NE Wales Mind's services. During the year staff received Equality, Equity and Diversity training.
SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES
In order to achieve its purpose and objectives the charity provided a range of services to people in NE Wales experiencing concern with their mental health and focussing on prevention through wellbeing activities. We continued to provide remotely delivered services by phone and/or online, but also regular face to face services. This change, which was accelerated by the pandemic, means that we are able to provide a blended service. The benefits of the information and guidance service for beneficiaries are that having up-to-date and reliable information allows people to take more control of their mental health, to start a process of recovery, or to maintain good mental health and well-being.
The main services provided were:
Information and guidance
The charity responded to the needs of telephone, email and face to face enquires. A core part of NE Wales Mind's information services is its website www.newmind.org.uk which is available in English and Welsh versions to ensure people have access to information in the language of their choice. Social media continued to play an important role in reaching out to current and new audiences. Facebook, X and LinkedIn were used to give information on support available from NE Wales Mind, as well as to raise awareness of mental health issues, challenge stigma and provide links.
The range of locations for people to get information face to face expanded during the year as new community Wellbeing Hubs are getting more established. As well as the Wellbeing Centre in Mold, people could access information and advice at Wellbeing Hubs at Flint Library, Caia Park Partnership in Wrexham, Rivertown Church in Shotton and Buckley food bank.
Peer support
Life warriors and Emotional support group are expanding numbers, having successfully embedded trauma-based support from face-to-face peer support groups in Flintshire and Caia Park. NE Wales Mind also have recovery and wellbeing support groups in the form of Live life to the full sessions. The benefits of these groups are being recorded against the ONS4 measures.
4
Community Wellbeing Support and social activities
Both individual and group-based support were provided to help reduce isolation, improve social networks, improve resilience and encourage people to re-engage with their local community. These services were delivered face to face. Studies show that being isolated is bad for mental well-being. Many of the people who access mental health services live alone and have limited family support. It is therefore important to provide a regular source of social support so both actual and online groups were provided every day of the working week. This allows people to maintain and develop friendships with others as well as building their confidence and self-esteem. These activities include:
o Drop-in sessions (Mold, Flint, Caia Park and Buckley)
o Mindfulness meditation (Caia Park with Caia Park Partnership, Mold Drop-in)
o LLTTF- Live life to the full- peer support sessions
o Online Quiz o Online Chair Yoga o Chess club
o Emotional support group and Life warriors- peer support groups, trauma led.
Walks and other outside meetings
Exercise and being outdoors are good for wellbeing. During the year outdoor activities included walk and talk sessions at Wepre park.
Talking therapies
Talking therapies can help people explore their feelings and problems and learn effective skills to help them move on with their lives in a positive way. They can help improve self-esteem, motivation, self-acceptance and work to overcome self-defeating behaviours or habits. We continue to offer services on a blended basis with support being offered in person in Mold, Flint and Caia Park and remotely. Services available during the year were:
-
Counselling was provided for people experiencing difficulties affecting their day-to-day lives and which had led to mild to moderate stress, anxiety or depression. People were provided with either up to seven counselling sessions through Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board funded Parabl service or could choose a more flexible route through the NE Wales Mind's Talking Therapy service.
-
Supported Self Help, previously known as Active Monitoring, is an Early Intervention guided self-help service which delivered for people with mild to moderate mental health problems. This service was adapted for online/phone delivery by Mind, with all printed resources being made available as interactive online resources. People were supported to develop a personalised self-help plan using online or printed resources, with the support of a trained practitioner who they could speak to weekly for up to six sessions.
Workplace Wellbeing Support
This service recognises that people at work can be at particular risk of developing mental health problems and that support in improving mental resilience can make a huge difference. Through advice and training, this service delivers an antistigma message to a wide audience and can help members of the working community support others who are experiencing mental distress, encouraging them to get early help from their GP and mental health services.
Good progress was made in identifying employers who were keen to support the wellbeing of their workforce. Training in Mental Health First Aid, Mental Health Awareness and Emotional Resilience was provided by face-to-face sessions. Demand for the next year is strong.

NE Wales Mind use both formal and informal methods to collect feedback from clients about services. Feedback is provided from the services to the CEO and passed on to the board. It is used as the basis for improvements to services. Some of the comments received from participants during the year were:
-
All of this activity over the past 5 years has led me out of some very dark times, I have met a strong group of friends and I am proud that I was able to step up and become a North East Wales Mind volunteer this summer.
-
Very satisfied with the service.
-
I started to attend Mind Drop In because I felt isolated and alone and wanted to find some friends in my local community. I’ve attended each week, and it's made me feel much more confident in myself, hopeful for the future and it gives me a structure for my week. It helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
NORTH EAST WALES MIND LIMITED
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial overview
Finances were stable, even allowing for the additional costs of a restructuring, which resulted in an increased deficit for the year. The organisation continued to successfully deliver its contracts and manage its cashflow as it dealt with the impact of the effects of the pandemic and cost of living crisis.
The team's efforts were successful in managing through a year of transition, resulting in year-end unrestricted reserves of £113,740 to be carried forward as the base for future years.
The charity met the Trustees Reserves Policy of at least 3 months normal operating costs for most of the year, with this falling behind the target by the year end. The trustee's focus is to restore the reserves to at least 3 months operating costs, as soon as practical over the next couple of years,
Financial outlook
Although 2023/24 ended in a stable financial situation, the trustees are aware that the financial environment for charities is still challenging, especially given the ongoing effects of the cost-of-living crisis. This is impacting our partners and our service users which means funding does not keep pace with either demand or increasing costs.
The Trustees continue to take seriously their responsibility to plan a sustainable future for the organisation. by a combination of income diversification away from reliance on large tenders and cost mitigation.
Part of the reason for seeking alternative income sources is that contracts from the public sector remain short term and uncertain and pricing rarely keeps pace with inflation.
In order to mitigate the risk of losing public sector funding streams the trustees will seek to extend or will re-tender for existing contracts where that is possible and financially viable. For projects/contracts where funding is unlikely to be continued the organisation will look for new contracts/services to replace those lost, as well as continuing to expand fundraising, grant and paid for services. More resources will continue to be put into developing and selling paid-for training courses and talking therapies and seeking to work with Mind nationally to deliver Mind's branded products locally. We will continue to work with other local Minds in North Wales to identify cost-efficiencies as well as joint opportunities to tender for work across North Wales. Grants will be sought to help the organisation develop its core business functions so that it can continue to provide services as cost-effectively as possible.

We are particularly grateful for P&A Fencing making us their charity of the year. Their financial support and enthusiasm are most welcome and appreciated. We plan to seek other local companies who are willing to take us on as their charity of the year.
FUTURE PLANS
In mid 2023/24 we recruited a new Chief Executive to drive our organisation and strategy forward. The year has been one of taking stock and transition. She inherited the 2022/23 Board of NE Wales Mind strategy, which remains valid and is noted in this report. This is being revitalised and a new business plan will guide the organisation going forward.
Trustees recognise that the pandemic and cost of living crisis have caused a rise in mental health issues and that the organisation needs to be able to support the ever-greater needs in the local population.
We continue to recruit additional trustees with skills which are identified as missing from the board, using a skills review. Our thanks go to both new trustees and those who have recently retired.
A new business development and income generation manager has been recruited to provide additional resource and focus on long term financial sustainability. This is in its early stages.
We have successfully completed a Mind Quality Mark external audit, in order to ensure quality and retain our national Mind affiliation.
Plans to respond to the increasing demand and other external issues include:
-
To complete work on the implementation plan for our strategy - April 2023 to March 2027 by considering a wide range of external and internal factors, to provide a roadmap for the development of the organisation and its services by way of a new business plan
-
To seek opportunities to extend the reach of the Supported Self Help service to support more people with mild to moderate mental health problems. including a pilot of a service for children and young people
-
To further develop workplace wellbeing services in order to provide training and counselling for people who are employed. As part of this work, develop an in-house team able to deliver Mental Health First Aid training.
-
To continue to provide in-person community wellbeing services from Wellbeing Centres and hubs in Mold, Flintshire and Wrexham
-
To explore opportunities to work more closely and strategically with other local Minds in North Wales.
-
To concentrate on the learning and development needs of board, staff and volunteers by developing and implementing a learning and development plan for the organisation
-
To influence change in the mental health system in North Wales through participation in and leadership of local stakeholder groups and communities of practice.
-
To actively contribute to the Mind network by taking a leadership role in One Mind in Wales, as well as taking up other opportunities at all levels in our organisation.
