The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year from 1 September 2021 to 31 August 2022.
Objectives and activities
Our year
This year has been a year where we have seen some amazing accomplishments for us an organisation and the partners we work with. Despite the challenges that COVID has brought across the globe we have continued to grow our work in the Arts, Education and Citizenship and mental health. We have stuck to our principles of being relevant in all the work that we do, responsive and caring in our approach.
There is so much that I could mention of what I am proud of but I would particularly like to highlight the work we have done to create support systems for marginalised groups so that they can enter employment. We have taken a holistic approach to understanding the barriers that prevent individuals from entering employment and put together support systems in place so that they can achieve their aspirations. We have done this in our work in Kenya through the Marakwet project providing opportunities for 39 individuals to enter higher education. We have supported 15 refugee women of middle eastern background in the UK to enter employment who would have otherwise not received any support. And we have provided support to over 20 young people in South Africa who form part of the Khuluma mentor programme to work on their professional development. At a time where unemployment rates are very high in South Africa, we have worked with them to provide them opportunities to build their skills in technology, mental health support and facilitation. I am very excited to see how they all progress professionally; how this expanded network grows; and who could become potential new collaborators and partners.
We have continued to grow our wellbeing fund and are advocating and supporting other partners to do the same and we take the wellbeing of our team and the partners that we work with very seriously.
None of the successes of this year could have been done without a wonderful, committed and passionate team. Thank you, Zuzana Figerova, Francesca Zinetti, Iona Gaskell, Malebo Ngobeni, Tebogo Konkobe, Ashleigh Beukes, Rini Sinha, Nikita Simpson, Georgina Miguel Esponda, Natasha Adomako, Yasmine Uddin, June Larrieta, Hugo Schlesinger, Victoria Marks, Desmond Chauke, Kelebogile Motlopye, Jara Lindsay, Joshua Olins, Olivia Gutierrez, Sama Kamal and our incredible Khuluma mentors!
Lastly, we are forever grateful to our founders Professor Maurice Biriotti and Professor Dame Henrietta Moore for their continued support and generosity to the SHM Foundation, both in the financial investment and in the intellectual thinking that runs through all the work we do at the SHM Foundation. We are also very grateful for the support and guidance of our Trustee, Professor Sarah Fidler.
Anna Kydd
Director of The SHM Foundation
Our story
In 2008, three friends – Sophie, Henrietta and Maurice – came together to create the SHM Foundation. Sophie Manham was a filmmaker, Professor Henrietta Moore an anthropologist, and Professor Maurice Biriotti an academic. They wanted to draw on their different skill sets and build a community of people who would work together to drive positive social change through projects that foster care, creativity, and human connection.
The SHM Foundation has grown steadily in the years since into a multidisciplinary team of 17 people based in 6 countries. We have designed, implemented and funded projects with vulnerable communities across 19 countries, spanning mental health, education and the arts.
Today our mission is to support people and communities in developing solutions to the challenges they face, in ways that work for them. We believe firmly in the ripple effects that are felt in communities, organisations and societies, when people feel supported, cared for and capable to exercise agency in their own lives.

About us
We are a forward-looking philanthropic organisation working globally to drive positive social change in the areas of mental health and wellbeing, education and livelihoods, and access to the arts. Based in the UK, we have offices in London and Pretoria, South Africa, and work with partners in 14 countries. We design and implement our own initiatives, conduct participatory research and provide grants to other organisations and projects. As a small foundation, we fund our own initiatives and also seek funds in partnership with other organisations.
Many of our initiatives are supported by SHM Productions Limited, a business consultancy based in London. Being a foundation arm of the private company gives us the advantages of being able to use their offices and also to leverage a wide range of skills amongst their staff, and second them to the Foundation projects where needed. This model ensures the Foundation’s sustainability and financial stability.
Our work is varied, often bridging different disciplines, countries and issues, but it’s focused around three key missions. We support people, communities and organisations to:
-
Improve their mental health and wellbeing
-
Gain new skills, knowledge and employment opportunities
-
Access excellent artistic experiences that enrich their lives
The objects of the SHM Foundation are to undertake for public benefit any purpose that is charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the trustees shall, in their absolute discretion, decide. Our work is always guided by our ethos of taking an empathetic, human approach to solving complex problems.
This year we committed £280,413 to fund our global initiatives.
Our values
We, at the SHM Foundation, are firm believers that in order to work well as a team and to produce high quality work, we need to have values in place that we all believe in and that guide us every day. The values that form the foundation of everything that we do and who we are as we look to the future are:
Care
Our biggest priority is to look after one another and the people we work with. For us, dedicating time and energy to making sure we are all coping is not an add-on – it’s at the heart of our approach.
Connection
As a team spread over six countries, we’ve always known that you don’t need to be in the same room to create meaningful human connection. While we keep open to a flexible working environment, we’re staying close by sharing stories, coping strategies and light relief in our team meetings.
Commitment
Our dedication to our partners and to providing them with the support they need has not changed. We recognise that their needs change from time to time and we are being responsive to these shifts and tailoring our support to the present moment.
Creativity
We value creative work and creative communications as we see the power this has in engaging people with the topic of mental health, humanising and destigmatising mental health struggles, and shining a light on the wealth of innovation in the sector.

Objectives and activities (continued)
Responsiveness
We recognise that our partners operate in different environments, often very challenging ones, that their circumstances change and that they need to be constantly adapting their services to respond to their communities’ needs. We believe that it’s important for us to be quick, flexible, and empathetic, so that we can support them in the best possible way in their important work.
Our approach
We base our approach on five pillars:
1) Participatory leadership
- The SHM Foundation team works together to set the strategy for the Foundation and design programs. We all work very closely together, enjoying open and collaborative ways of working.
2) Community-led design We collaborate with communities to co-design programs, implement them and evaluate their impact. We value the wisdom and first-hand experience of our participants and we believe that effective and sustainable programs can only be designed together with them.
3) Caring Ethos We dedicate time and resources to supporting the wellbeing of our team, partners and participants. For us, this is a priority, not an add-on.
4) Creative mindset
Art and design are powerful tools in helping people express their stories and enabling others to connect with them, and in showing those perspectives the respect they deserve by taking care in the way they are captured. That’s why creativity has a central place in all our work.
5) Responsive Innovation
The world is constantly changing, so we are too. We are always learning, innovating and adapting so that our work remains relevant and impactful, and so that we can act fast when our support is needed most. We are not afraid to pioneer new approaches.
Our projects at a glance
We work in three different areas: Mental Health and Wellbeing; Education and Livelihoods; and the Arts.
MENTAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
What’s the story?
Health was one of the very first areas that the SHM Foundation started to work in 13 years ago. Our work started in Mexico when Anna, now the director of the SHM Foundation, noticed that men and women living with HIV were facing high levels of stigma and had few opportunities or spaces to share their stories and find solace, support and advice from their shared experiences. This sense of isolation was having a negative impact on both their mental and physical health. Anna, working with Maurice Biriotti (CEO of SHM Productions, a consultancy firm), co-founded a project called Zumbido, looking at how to provide support systems for those living with and affected by HIV in Jalisco, Mexico. The mobile phone seemed like the perfect tool to enable this model: it was accessible and enabled immediate and intimate communication. Using a group SMS technology, a support group via text message was designed, allowing participants to send and receive text messages within a closed group of 10 to 15 participants in rural and urban areas. Within a month, the group participants exchanged over 500,000 text messages.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Objectives and activities (continued)
Over the next 13 years, the Zumbido Health model has been refined, adapted and replicated in the UK, Guatemala, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe and it is now flagship program of the SHM Foundation in the area of health. Over the years, we learnt through this work that mental health is a hugely important area, connected to so many other parts of life and that community-based initiatives are particularly well placed to respond to mental health needs in their settings. The problem is, they don’t get the visibility and resources they need to sustain and grow, and the expertise and insight of local initiatives too often goes unrecognised. That is why in 2018 we decided to found Ember, our flagship mental health programme that mentors and funds excellent community-based mental health initiatives around the world. Ember’s goal is to support a diverse, inclusive ecosystem of mental health care to flourish worldwide, so that everyone can access the help they need, where they are, in ways that work for them.
Zumbido Health
The Zumbido Health model uses mobile phones to create virtual social support groups for vulnerable, isolated populations. These support groups are enabled by our digital platform, where participants discuss - peer to peer, at any time via text message - a range of issues pertinent to their condition or needs. Addressing social emotional wellbeing is crutial to improve the lives of people living with chronic health conditions.
Under Zumbido Health we have run the following programmes this year:
Khuluma Productions - South Africa
Khuluma Productions is a continuation of our long-standing program, Khuluma, which we have been running in South Africa since 2013. The project aims to support long standing Khuluma mentors with their mental health & wellbeing, and enhance their employability skills. Most of the Khuluma mentors have previously been part of the Khuluma groups who decided to stay on and train to become supporters for other young people living in a similar situation. Over this year social isolation, difficult family situations and economic hardships are some of the elements that have really been highlighted. This year we have focused on providing 20 Khuluma mentors with means, such as laptops and tablets, to be able to take part in the project activities through a number of COVID related lockdowns in South Africa; the mentors have been able to attend and to complete their respective courses in Computing and Life Skills with the Catholic Institute of Education, in South Africa; they have taken part in the design of the digital support groups for 44 new adolescents living with HIV, including recruitment, groups facilitation and monitoring; and 6 mentors have also started to work on the research study about the insights and current issues young people living with HIV/AIDS face. The findings of this work will be available at the end of 2022. Furthermore, we have provided digital support groups for 44 new adolescents living in semirural areas in Pretoria. The insights from the groups as well as the above mentioned research piece will inform further direction of this programme and what the key ingredients are for its sustainability.
The Young Mother’s Lounge - Zimbabwe
The project aims to scale up an integrated virtual support system for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers living with HIV to improve health & wellbeing. It layers on top of Zvandiri’s Young Mentor Mother (YMM) program that trains adolescent mothers to support their peers with adherence and Sexual Reproductive Health services. It leverages SHM Foundation’s advances in virtual psychosocial support to provide YMMs & Young Mothers with a single mobile platform where they can access support and training. The overall objective of this project is to build an integrated virtual support system for Zvandiri’s YMMs that has a cascading impact on their beneficiaries. This year we have focused on training 75 YMMS in delivering psychosocial support in a safe virtual space and working on a ‘tool box’ to improve their resilience and independence. The tool box contains certain tools that the Young Mothers have voiced that they need such as mental health sessions and tools in economic strengtheningthis will overall help improve their overall wellbeing. We have also started a recruitment process and a set up of digital support groups for 750 young mothers living with HIV in 11 regions of Zimbabwe. Next year will be critical for this project and we will be looking to engage 750 young mothers in the digital support groups and looking at the benefits of this project for this population.

Insaka - Zambia
The project is part of a larger collaborative study, funded jointly by the MRC and DFID, aimed at addressing the needs of adolescents living with HIV in Lusaka, Zambia. Over the course of 2020 and 2021, The SHM Foundation, in collaboration with Zambart, provided a peer-to-peer support group intervention component for adolescent pregnant women aged 15-24 years living with HIV, with the aim to find out if taking part in the mobile phone-based peer-to-peer support groups can have positive biomedical outcomes around adherence. 63 participants took part in support groups facilitated by peer support workers andlevels of engagement for this group were exceptionally high, with participants sending over 70,000 text messages. When this project came to an end, the Insaka participants expressed the will to continue to interact and support each other. In order to facilitate this, we have been able to redirect funds to facilitate four workshops between November 2021 and March 2022 aimed at understanding what worked, co-designing a new iteration of the model and innovating the technology platform. The findings from these workshops are currently being analysed.
AT2030 - Indonesia and Sierra Leone
The SHM Foundation is collaborating with the Bartlett at the Development Planning Unit of University College London (DPU) as part of AT2030, a large-scale research and innovation programme involving 9 million people that aims to improve access to life-changing Assistive Technologies (AT) such as wheelchairs, hearing aids, glasses and digital assistance (including smart phones and accessible software). We worked with DPU and local organisations in Indonesia and Sierra Leone to understand patterns of use, challenges and attitudes towards mobile phones by people living in informal settlements, particularly people with disabilities. Drawing on insights from this research, we then designed a mobile phone-based intervention in Freetown, Sierra Leone, to support increased access to and dissemination of accurate health information by people with disabilities and their carers.
Ember
Ember Mental Health is a programme by the SHM Foundation, founded in 2019 in collaboration with the Mental Health Innovation Network at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Ember aims to radically transform the landscape of global mental health. We believe addressing the global mental health crisis does not lie in identifying a few “silver bullet” solutions, but rather in nourishing a diverse ecosystem of care that grows from within communities. Through the Ember Fund, we support and invest in innovative locally-led mental health initiatives in low-resource settings by providing tailored support composed of both mentorship and funding, so that they can grow and thrive.
Over the last three years we have incrementally piloted and refined the Ember model. The overarching impact of our work in the long-term is that the initiatives who partner with Ember are more able to sustain their important work; to scale it up or replicate it in line with their ambitions; and innovate their models to address new needs. All of this means that they reach more people with psychosocial disabilities, and have a bigger and more sustained impact in the diverse dimensions of mental health in which they are operating.
By implementing Ember’s radically different approach to supporting mental health initiatives that combines elements of business consultancy, participatory design, creative learning and trust-based philanthropy, we aim to impact not only the initiatives we partner with in our cohorts, but also to contribute to the efforts of creating a flourishing global mental health ecosystem, with different elements contributing symbiotically to the overall health of the whole.

Education and Livelihoods
What’s the story?
Education was one of the first areas which the SHM Foundation was involved in. Our Co- Chair, Professor Henrietta Moore, had established her academic work and relationships with many young inspiring people in Eldoret, Kenya, long before the SHM Foundation’s official conception. In the area of education, we look to increase active citizenship of children and young people. We believe that the best way of responding to social and political challenges is to get people to take a lead. We aim to equip people to understand and tackle the issues they care about.
Marakwet Education Project
In Kenya, we’ve continued to support the Marakwet project, which aims to improve the transition from primary and secondary education to higher education. We are proud of all of our students who have continued their studies during this challenging year. In total, we supported 39 students studying a range of qualifications.
One of the highlights this year has been our meeting with some of the students in Nairobi. We spent a nice day, talking about their excellent academic achievements, their future plans, but also the challenges that they face due to the worsening economic situation and the Kenyan elections. The SHM Foundation team assured the students that the Foundation remains committed to supporting them in their education but that we also want to extend our support beyond their educational needs and design a wellbeing package that would address some of the challenges that the students face.
Project Noor
Project Noor is a new project implemented by the SHM Foundation in partnership with the Max Barney Foundation. The aim of the project is to work with a demographic group that is particularly disadvantaged when it comes to securing a decent livelihood: older refugee women of Middle Eastern heritage. The purpose of this project is to support these women into employment or self-employment by the end of the project through working with them to co-design solutions to the barriers they face in getting there. We are taking an integrated participatory and person-centred approach to this work, while drawing upon the SHM Foundation’s existing tools, resources and expertise. The project’s two primary objectives are to improve the employment status and employability of the participants and to develop assets, methodologies and tools that can be used to reproduce and scale up the person-centred approach that we are looking to develop in this project with other refugee communities in future.
Through the connections we made in the first stage’s needs assessment, we were able to map out the available support services provided by organisations, individuals and the Home Office, and create a referral network that helped us to utilize the available resources in the best way possible, without duplicating any existing work. We provided support for 12 women so far, with varied resources, activities and services provided across the cohort, depending on their needs. Some participants have continued their language lessons accompanied by digital literacy classes, job-specific training and other types of personalised support to gain the skills needed to start applying for jobs and getting the job they aimed towards. Others are getting specific career-related training by interning and working part-time to gain experience. We utilised our expertise and resources in combination with our referral’s partner organisations to be able to provide the best support possible.
Over the last year, we also designed a participant’s identification and diagnostic tool to be able to use for each participant to highlight their needs and ambitions and also to serve as a monitoring tool during implementation.
One of the biggest achievements of the Project Noor has been that all 12 participants are either in full-time or part-time employment, and some are gaining valuable volunteer experience which will help them gain paid employment. Another thing that we are proud of is the positive feedback the participants shared with us. They told us that having been part of an initiative where participants share a common background, language and sometimes culture is very important to them and it makes a positive impact on their day-to-day lives as well as it makes their integration easier.

Access to the Arts
What’s the story
The SHM Foundation’s work in the arts is based on the vision that great art should be for everyone and should be an integral part of how we learn. Over the years we’ve supported a number of projects in visual arts, music, and theatre that aimed to expand the pool of people benefiting from excellent artistic experiences.
The Royal Academy of Music
This year we have continued working on a project with the Royal Academy of Music, an institution that nurtures talent, scholarship and performance at the highest level of classical music. Programmes dedicated to community outreach, and to widening access to and participation in the Academy’s activities, are core to their mission. Using our creative and participatory methodologies, we worked with the Academy to gain a qualitative understanding of the full value and impact of this work. We have developed a participatory research process that students involved in these programmes will use to evaluate their impact on the full range of stakeholders involved.
Spitalfields Music
This year we have funded a project by Spitalfields Music, a creative charity in East London, whose aim was to support the wellbeing of primary and secondary school students through music. In the aftermath of the pandemic, schools in the Tower Hamlets and City of London are facing a crisis with the mental health and wellbeing of the students in their care. This programme aimed to address this issue through a series of 3 hour music workshops to help students enhance their confidence and emotional literacy by focusing on the power of the voice and music as tools to unite and connect us. Working with the composer and workshop leader Raph Clarkson and Martha Wainwright of the charity Mindful Music, Spitalfields Music not only ran 11 workshops with primary and secondary school students, but also ran sessions with teachers – who had reported to Spitalfields Music that they felt unequipped to deal with many of the mental health challenges they faced in their classrooms – and created a resource pack to assist them in using mindfulness techniques in their teaching and pastoral roles. The project has formed a core element of the schools’ enrichment programmes on the return to school and an opportunity to unpack and begin addressing the many mental health challenges these schools are facing post-Covid.
The Barbican Centre
We continued to support the Barbican Centre and its programme of activities. Our support contributed to Barbican Box 2021/2022 that focused on music, using the theme of ‘empowerment’, as a starting point for creative exploration. The project focused on engaging teachers in schools in the East London boroughs to adapt activities to the needs of their group and build links to the National Curriculum. Our support also contributed to several other projects, promoting access to music from early years children to secondary school students. In addition, we had the opportunity to support some of the projects and performances under the Visual Arts Programme; Theatre; Cinema; and Music.
Good Chance Theatre and Little Amal
We continued to support Good Chance Theatre and their project, Little Amal Walk, that is based on the figure of Amal, a nine-year-old Syrian refugee, who was looking for her mother as she made a journey across Europe to the UK. The project draws attention to the lives of migrants and refugees making their way from Syria to the UK and it is a story of creation, partnership, and extraordinary scale. 3.5m tall Puppet, called Amal, visited 8 countries, walked 8,000 km walk, and saw thousands of people taking part in activities. We are very honored that we could support this extraordinary project.
Public benefit
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Policy on grant making
The SHM Foundation’s grant making has continued to focus this year on grants that support projects in health, learning, citizenship and the arts. Proposals are invited by the Trustees or initiated at their request. The Foundation works directly with the beneficiaries of each of its projects. Unsolicited requests for funding are not encouraged.
Achievements and performance
Summary of our achievements
We at the SHM Foundation are particularly proud of the following achievements in Mental Health and Wellbeing. The achievements are cutting across both of our initiatives Zumbido Health and Ember.
We have continued to support wellbeing of both Ember partners and Khuluma mentors .
-
Through the Ember Wellbeing Fund, we have supported the health and wellbeing of all our partners’ teams. We have also continued giving out a small amount of unrestricted funds towards teams’ wellbeing. At Ember we strongly believe that only by nurturing their own mental health can caregivers continue their work and avoid burnt out.
-
Khuluma Mentors have been supported by our qualified team with a background in psychology and each mentor has been offered tailored mental health and wellbeing support according to their needs. They have also been provided with access to technology, such as laptops and tablets, so that they could better participate in the programme activities and take part in their respective educational courses.
We have provided Khuluma Mentors with opportunities to use their skills; improved their access to education; and increased their employment opportunities .
-
Khuluma Mentors have played a key role in adapting and improving our approach to reaching out to new populations under the Zumbido Health model. They have played a key role in recruiting new participants for mobile phone support groups but also in advocating for improvement of health services for adolescents and young people and for raising awareness of the challenges that young people living with HIV face.
-
Moreover, Khuluma Mentors have embarked on their new educational journeys and graduated from their respective courses in Life and Computing Skills. Some of them have taken part in the Arts classes and have had a chance to discover their creative side. However, one of the biggest achievements of this year is that a number of Khuluma Mentors have secured jobs and have begun their career journey.
We have continued to accelerate our mission to start changing the current landscape of global mental health and through our work have identified critical nutrients that are needed to support a flourishing Global Mental Health ecosystem.
-
We have accelerated our efforts to identify and to bring onboard new funders starting to fund in the Global Mental Health field but unsure where, what and how to fund. It's become clear that leveraging our insights, network and resources to influence their approaches and bring more stakeholders into the mental health fold is a critical priority. To this end, we are working to gather insights, grow our network, boost our visibility and expand our mission to achieve this.
-
We have supported 19 mental health organisations in 12 countries to provide them with the visibility and resources they need to sustain and grow. We selected 9 new initiatives which have started the first phase of the Ember partnership and have implemented a tailored mentorship plan. We chose 5 initiatives from the previous Ember cohort to invest in, providing them with funding and light touch mentorship.

Achievements and performance (continued)
-
We have created the Ember Spark Award to recognise, promote and support the development of promising early stage mental health initiatives. 6 initiatives have received a small, one-time, unrestricted donation, as well as the opportunities to connect with the Ember team and other innovators.
-
Through the Ember Transformation Fund, we have supported CAFS, one of Ember’s partners in Sri Lanka, to complement their innovative thinking with financial support so that they can continue to best meet the needs of their communities during the current Sri Lankan economic crisis.
We have been evaluating our impact, publishing results and boosting our visibility.
-
We have conducted a global survey to investigate the challenges community-based initiatives face in navigating the MH funding system. 128 organisations took part in the survey from 28 different countries, featuring a wide variety of approaches and areas of focus. Most of the organisations had small teams of under 15 people, where 70% reported reaching over 500 people. Some teams – both small and big – described supporting areas of up to 500 000 people. The survey findings highlighted various challenges in the current funding landscape.
-
In May 2022, we published a paper in BMJ (British Medical Journal) about “Supporting communitybased mental health initiatives: insights from a multi-country programme and recommendations for funders”. Ember paper is now in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
-
In June we hosted an Ember webinar on the topic “How can funders and international partners help community-based mental health organisations in the Global South thrive?” where four innovators shared their insights on what support and resources are necessary for their projects to be sustainable. The webinar was attended by over 30 people.
-
A number of Khuluma Mentors participated in a lecture for the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine HIV Masters’ course and they received some very positive feedback from the students and the course director. In addition, the mentors participated in a study and worked on a short piece about young people living with HIV which will be part of the Voice&Agency Handbook on Gender&Adolescents, commissioned by GAGE ODI (Gender&Adolescence Global Evidence, Overseas Development Institute).
We have remained strong advocates for the central place that creative communication, such as storytelling, art and design, plays in helping people express their stories and enabling others to connect with them.
-
We visited our partners in Kenya to film a documentary about the community-based initiatives and the impact that they have not only on their communities but also on the entire ecosystem of the Global Mental Health field. The premiere of this documentary is planned for 2023.
-
We have launched our first podcast series, Sparks of Care, talking to the people behind the initiatives who often have incredible stories about the reasons behind what they do - but those stories rarely get told. You can listen to the podcast mini-series here.
We have expanded our networks .
-
We secured a new funder for Ember and initiated interesting conversations with two other funders.
-
• Ember was invited to attend the Wellbeing Summit for Social Change in Bilbao, focused on the intersection of wellbeing, social change and art. Ember team has visited a total of 5 Ember partners in Uganda, Kenya and Argentina.
-
Ember was invited to join Future Mental Health Collective run by Kokoro Change, an international network of funders and philanthropists committed to shaping funding practices in the global mental health and bringing more funding into this area. We have been providing insights and expertise on this.

Financial review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
Reserves policy
There is £256,241 in the CAF account. The Trustees have decided to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds in the CAF account at a level which equates to approximately 10 -12 months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds for the running of the Foundation assuming no other funds are received.

Recruitment of Trustees and training
The composition of the Charity's Board of Trustees is reviewed regularly with a view to achieving a spread of expertise and age, designed to facilitate the achievement of the Charity's objectives. The Trustees keep up to date on their responsibilities by various means, such as reviewing the Charity Commission website, reading relevent periodicals and professional advice.
Our board of Trustees
We are very grateful to our Co-founders and Co-chairs, Professor Dame Henrietta Moore and Professor Maurice Biriotti, and our Trustee Professor Sarah Fidler, for their guidance, motivation, and support. We look forward to many more inspiring board meetings in the coming year and to bringing on board new trustees to join the SHM Foundation Board.
Our partners
None of our work would be possible without our partners.
We would like to thank the Max Barney Foundation for helping us to support refugee women in the UK into employment.
A big thanks goes to the Vitol Foundation for their continued support with Khuluma Productions and Ember Mental Health.
We would like to thank ViiV Healthcare Positive Action for their continued support with the Young Mentors Mothers Programme that we run in collaboration with Zvandiri in Zimbabwe.

THE SHM FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Structure, governance and management (continued)
Additional governance issues
The Trustees are directors and shareholders of SHM Productions Limited. During the last year, the Charity’s principal sources of funds were donations received from SHM Productions Limited and from income generated from the investment of capital as well as donations made by other charitable bodies to develop collaborative projects with the Foundation. The Foundation always works collaboratively with partner organisations that share its charitable goals and objectives to ensure good governance and sound financial management.
Trustees’ consideration of major risks and the systems and procedures to manage them
The Trustees consider on a regular basis if there are any major risks to The SHM Foundation along with any risks there might be to specific projects that they are currently running. The Trustees are confident that there are adequate systems and procedures in place for reviewing risks and will continue to keep these processes under review.
Plans for future periods
We want to remain relevant and responsive to what is going on in the world and to our partners’ needs. We are planning to revisit the foundation’s overall strategy to ensure that it reflects the foundation’s vision and mission across all three areas of our work which is Health; Education & Employment; and the Arts. We want to be better able to articulate the importance of these three areas and the overlap between them across our global programmes.
We will continue working towards addressing global mental health challenges and meeting global mental health needs. We will continue supporting community-based organisations in the Global South and growing a healthy global mental health ecosystem of care that grows from within the communities that we support. We are committed to looking for like-minded co-funders and partners that will help us grow the Ember Fund to support and invest in innovative mental health initiatives in low-resource settings so that around the world millions more people can access the care they need, where they are, in ways that work for them.
We will continue supporting people into education and employment, and creating opportunities for selfrealization, growth, and prosperity for the people that we serve and for our team. We will keep supporting art projects, not only in the UK but globally, as we believe that the arts have the power to transform people’s lives for the better no matter what challenges they may face or where in the world they are.
We want to keep expanding our network of like-minded partners as we believe that the group of people with a similar vision can achieve much more than when one works alone. We will keep working very closely with our amazing board to make the SHM Foundation even stronger and even more impactful that it is today.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The SHM Foundation ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2022.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE SHM FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The SHM Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
1.3 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources eg allocating property costs by floor areas or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Donated staff costs have been allocated based on the number of hours worked on each activity based on an average hourly rate.
Donated facilities costs have been allocated based on a propoartion of office expenses determined by floor space used.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.5 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.6 Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
1.7 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.8 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
1.9 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no accounting estimates which are considered material.
