Trustees’ Annual Report For the year ended 31 March 2020
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021
Structure
Tyneside Women's Health is led by a Board of Trustees. Although the Trustees have overall responsibility for governance and management, much of this responsibility is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer who ensures the organisation runs efficiently and effectively. The Trustees work closely with the Chief Executive Officer to provide strategic direction for the organisation. The Chief Executive Officer, in turn, provides direction to line managers and delivery staff to ensure Tyneside Women's Health can act to achieve its vision for all women in Tyneside to flourish by having access to the right mental health and wellbeing support at the right time and place
Governance and Management
The Board of Trustees ensures that the organisation is legally compliant in all areas including finance, health and safety, and HR. These matters are reviewed within bi-monthly Board meetings as well as specific sub groups of the Board and time out session. Trustees are recruited to the Board by way of open recruitment processes on an ongoing basis to ensure a minimum of 6 Trustees at any one time.
Financial Review and Reserves Policy
Tyneside Women's Health holds reserves in order to provide running costs for three months in the unlikely event that income does not meet expenditure. In such a case, these running costs will enable the organisation to continue with minimal disruption to service delivery and staffing levels. Three months is currently deemed an adequate length of time by Trustees to generate additional income to secure the future of the organisation. Reserves also include various designated pots of money to cover the costs of redundancy and other liabilities should the organisation close.
Achievements and Performance of Trust
From 1 April 2020 through to 31 March 2021, Tyneside Women's Health has supported 532 women to improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing. Services are provided predominantly from two Centres in Gateshead and Newcastle, and on an outreach basis across North Tyneside, and women usually have access to the following interventions:
· Open Access Activities - providing therapeutic benefit such as singing, dance, drop in, Sunday Lunch, and creative sessions.
· Mental Health courses - a full range of courses are available including Managing Anxiety, Coping with Depression, Positive About Me (confidence building), Better Out Than In (anger management), Mood Food and Me, and Undoing the Damage of Domestic Abuse. Stand alone workshops are also available such as Mindfulness.
· Support Groups - these are targeted at specific groups of women such as those over 55, those affected by domestic abuse, and those with enduring mental health issues.
· Counselling - an integrative short term counselling service is available and provided on a one to one basis.
· Routes to Recovery & Beyond - comprises action planning and goal focussed workshops, future planning, progression support through signposting to external volunteering, employment and training opportunities as well as internal opportunities.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we closed our face to face services in March 2020. We very quickly moved to a remote service, which was very different from our usual service offer as described above. We have also provided an unprecedented level of one to one support, which again, is different form our usual group work programmes. We conducted weekly support calls and email check ins for 144 per week at the height of the pandemic.
We re-opened some face to face services in September 2020 for women we knew were the most isolated and whose mental health had deteriorated the most. We kept these services open during the second and third national lockdowns as well as maintaining the remote support services we had developed. We continue to provide a mixture of virtual and face to face services and look forward to developing new interventions based on our learning over the past year.
We have continued to work in partnership where possible and have adapted services as needed and have maintained our role as a delivery partner within the Wise Steps programme. We have participated in podcasts, and many online meetings!
We continue to develop our trading subsidiary as a future source of income and we are in the process of developing a new Strategic Plan for the organisation. Despite missing our 35th birthday celebrations last year we are excited to take the organisation forward as we recover and emerge from the pandemic.
We are extremely proud of the support we have been able to provide for vulnerable women over the last year, and we are especially proud of our service users for how they have managed during lockdowns. A small group of women set up their own creative group called Craftscape during lockdown and this is quickly becoming an enterprise project through selling items that they make so we look forward to supporting them to develop this.
Matters pertaining to the Companies Act 2006
For the year ending 31 March 2021 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 447 of the Companies Act 2006. The members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. The directors acknowledge their responsibility for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and for the preparation of accounts.

31 March 2021 Charity no 1126648 |
|---|---|
| Respective | The Trustees of the organisation are responsible for the preparation of |
| responsibilities of | accounts; they consider that an audit is not required for this year under |
| trustees and | section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent |
| examiner | Examination is needed. |
| It is my responsibility to | |
| examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act), | |
| follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the | |
| Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and | |
| state whether particular matters have come to my attention. | |
| Basis of | My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions |
| independent | given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review |
| examiner’s | of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the |
| statement | 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 I do not express an audit opinion | |
| on the accounts. | |
| Independent | In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: |
| examiner's | 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material |
| statement | respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: |
| proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of | |
| the Act); and | |
| accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and | |
| comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or | |
| 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a | |
| proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. | |
