**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s Guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The objects are achieved through a variety of the following activities: 

- building capacity in our membership 

- strengthening local, regional and specialist networks 

- capacity building and information sharing 

- influencing mental health policy and practice 

- representing and relaying members' views at all high level mental health policy levels and communicating practice, policy and legislative changes back to members 

- promoting better service user involvement and Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) practices in research, practice and policy 

## **Review of Achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit** 

National Survivor User Network (NSUN) is an England-wide network of people and groups with lived experience of mental ill-health, distress and trauma. It is an infrastructure organisation and sector voice for user-led groups that work to support the mental health of those in their communities, who live on the intersection of multiple, compounding inequalities and marginalisations.  NSUN’s aims are to create and strengthen links between individuals and groups; support and promote user-led groups and initiatives; and influence and inform policy and decision makers. All NSUN staff and Trustees have lived experience.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **2021/22 Activities:** 

As stated in the 2020/21 Trustees’ Annual Report, NSUN’s aims for 2021/22 were to: 

- consolidate the growth of the past 12 months, strengthen its policies and governance, and review the membership offer. 

- NSUN also aims to continue building capacity in its membership through a second small grants programme for user-led organisations 

- scale Community Constellations in order to work alongside groups across England 

- NSUN will continue to promote and amplify members’ perspectives, voices and campaigns through communications, and will also develop its policy work, focusing on the social determinants of mental ill health or distress. 

These aims were achieved through the following: 

## **Theory of Change** 

In the last quarter, NSUN worked with an external consultant, Lena Mohamed, to reflect on the growth of the organization over the past two years, and develop a Theory of Change to guide future work. This Theory of Change will be shared and operationalised in 2022. A key element of this is a refreshed membership offer, developed with Associate Mark Brown, and to be launched in 2022, which will better reflect different stakeholders’ needs and relationships with NSUN. In parallel, NSUN has engaged an external facilitator to facilitate regular reflective practice sessions for the staff team, and has updated all its policies, with the support of Associate Rachel Barker. 

## **NSUN Side by Side Fund** 

The Side by Side Fund is NSUN’s second small grants programme, following on from the success of the NSUN Covid-19 Fund in 2019. The Side by Side Fund awarded 37 grants of £500 and 1 grant of £144 to peer support, mutual aid or self-help groups in England and Wales to connect remotely, prepare to move their activities to face-toface, or make their group more sustainable. This opportunity was made available through Mind’s Side by Side: Peer Support in your community project, which was funded by Morrisons Foundation and Garfield Weston Foundation. 

Page 4 



**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

The grants were aimed at peer support, mutual aid or self-help groups that benefit people or communities who live with mental ill-health, trauma and distress, take place in a community setting (i.e. not NHS or local authority), and are in some way led by members of the community they engage. In this context, NSUN defined peer support as the intentional action of bringing people together who have experiences in common, to offer mutual support. Not all groups who applied or who were successful in receiving funding define themselves as ‘mental health groups’. NSUN was especially interested in groups who recognise that coming together supports wellbeing, healing or connection. 

The Fund had three funding priorities: 

- Groups led by and for people from racialised communities/people of colour 

- Groups led by and for young people (aged 18-25) 

- Groups who have been unable to meet during the pandemic, which may be due to digital poverty 

NSUN received 215 applications, and awarded grants to 38 organisations. 

This grant-making programme demonstrated the importance and the vitality of peer support, mutual aid and self-help groups, but also indicated that these groups find it hard to access support from other funders, and face challenges that bigger organisations don’t. This echoes the findings from the 2020 NSUN report ‘What do user led groups need?’. 

## **Community Constellations** 

Over the year, NSUN’s capacity building programme for user-led groups, Community Constellations, was scaled, and created spaces for connection in three different ways; through cohort meetings with grantees from the Side by Side grants programme, through the Youth Constellation Network, and through safeguarding work with groups Taraki and Black People Talk. 

As a follow up to the Side by Side Fund, Community Constellations delivered three networking events for Side by Side grantees, open to all 37 grantees, alongside Mind. These networking events offered space for people working in user-led groups to connect and share their experiences and advice, and functioned as a community of practice for people who would otherwise be isolated. They also enabled grantees to name what would be helpful to them and generate ideas for outputs that could influence and inform external stakeholders about what user-led groups do and the challenges they face. Many of the grantees have since made contact separately and identified the groups as a peer support and personal development space. 

Community Constellations also provided a reflective space and community of practice for people doing youth-led user-led work, through its Youth Constellation Network. This came to a close at the end of the year partly due to one of the founding members of the Network (Hearts & Minds) ceasing operations. However, the relationships which were built within the network remain, and NSUN continues to engage with the organisations which constituted it.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

In the conversations NSUN has had with people involved in grassroots mental health work, safeguarding has repeatedly been named as an area in need of more resource and collaborative thinking. Between April and July 2021 Community Constellations worked intensively with groups Taraki and Black People Talk to develop anti-racist safeguarding policies for their organisations through a series of workshops and discussions. These included in-depth discussions about safeguarding, surveillance cultures and racism in mental health spaces. By the end of the summer of 2021, Taraki and Black People Talk had developed finished, custom-built safeguarding policies and implementation plans. 

Feedback from these sessions has included: 

_“It was a brilliant idea and session. I for one enjoyed every moment of it and making new connections, so thank you […] for allowing us to connect and network.” – SBS cohort member_ 

_“It's been a fantastic opportunity to think about how (…) can we actually share our approaches and the things that have really enabled us to do what we're doing in the mental health landscape. Thinking about how do we challenge the very, very unfair allocation of access to resources, and also especially knowledge that is often a huge, huge systemic barrier within the mental health landscape. So how do we learn off each other? [F]or me, that's what the Community Constellations project is. It is a direct naming of the fact that current ways of working, current ways of communicating, current ways of engaging within the mental health landscape do not make it easy for those wanting to do things differently and do not make it easy for those wanting to build together rather than just kind of build individually.” Shuranjeet Singh – NSUN Trustee and Founder and Director of Taraki, involved in both Youth Constellation Network and safeguarding development work._ 

## **Resources for user led groups** 

_Resources by and for user-led groups_ 

In August NSUN launched a new series of video resources by and for user-led groups. Following on from the 2020 NSUN report “What do User Led Groups Need?, NSUN created resources that helped people who are part of user-led groups to understand some of the common hurdles faced in setting up and sustaining organisations, from funding and finance to organisational structure and communications. 

NSUN published videos by ADHDAware discussing the pros and cons of being a volunteer-led organisation; Expert By Experience discussing maturing as a user-led group; Make Space on safeguarding; ADHDBabes on community engagement; Arts and Health Hub on organisational structure; Sisters of Frida on governance for DPOs; Let’s Talk about Loss on becoming a registered charity; and Sangini on funding. They are all published here: https://www.nsun.org.uk/our-members/user-led-groups/ 

Page 6 



**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

In keeping with NSUN’s aim of developing resources with user-led groups, the team commissioned 3 blogs from the members of the Side by Side grantees cohort in order to bring the discussions which were had as a group to a wider audience. Taimour Ahmed of Experts By Experience shared his personal experience and reflections on ‘One Person Show Syndrome’ in user-led groups and grassroots activism and its impact on community-led work. In another piece, Sylvia Kalungi of WODIN explored ‘ - The Hamster Wheel Challenge: Funding & Sustainability for User led Groups’, which sums up the landscape that a lot of grassroots organisers find themselves in – underfunded, under-supported, but playing an irreplaceable role in their communities. Finally, Leah Chikamba of Angels of Hope gave an interview about how and why she founded her organisations, and some of the specific challenges that organisations by and for Black women face in achieving funding and sustainability; she explains that “The women we were helping wouldn’t go anywhere but us”. 

The Side by Side grantee cohort developed the idea of a survey into user-led groups’ experiences of funding, and NSUN approached funder The Fore to lend their expertise in drafting the questions and disseminating the survey, which was live from November – December 2021.  NSUN now has high-quality data on the experiences of small userled groups working in the area of mental ill-health, including those who have chosen not to apply for funding or who have never been successful in applying, and plans to begin analysis in spring 2022 and publish the results in the summer. 

## _Mapping Lived Experience Leadership_ 

Commissioned by Mind and NSUN, this report collates the contributions provided by people with Lived Experience through 106 survey submissions, 32 interviews and 7 focus groups with 31 people. It was inspired by a desire to understand the complexities of the ‘Lived Experience Leadership’ field and determine any supportive role Mind, NSUN and other mental health organisations might play. Contributions were gathered from August 2020 until January 2021. Its intention is to honour and reflect the diversity in experiences and positions expressed by contributors rather than provide a neat narrative. 

The AGM also featured a panel on Lived Experience Leadership (https://nsunagm2021.com/schedule-and-register/lived-experience-leadership/) and NSUN also commissioned a series of blogs and vlogs from our members on the topic: - - https://www.nsun.org.uk/category/lived experience leadership/ 

The Lived Experience Leadership report, blogs and panel have been enthusiastically received, and the team is in talks with Mind about some practical follow-up work based on the recommendations in the report.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **Membership and Communications** 

Over the year, NSUN has worked on improving the digital spaces it holds for its members. This has been partly achieved through the development and launch of a new website, with a clearer structure and a greater focus on content generated by members. This has included standalone blogs and book reviews, but also series commissioned by NSUN, including on lived experience leadership and abolition and mental health. All digital metrics, from the number of twitter users, to website hits, to bulletin reads, have continued to improve over the past 12 months. 

The annual Members’ Survey took place in September 2021, with improvements based on the recommendations from the Royal Society of Statisticians. 

Respondents praised the weekly bulletin highly, and gave examples of events and involvement opportunities that they had taken part in after finding out about them through NSUN. Many respondents noted that they thought NSUN helped people feel “less alone”, keeps them “in touch” and plugged in to “something bigger”, and appreciated NSUN’s “knowledge-sharing” on issues they would otherwise struggle to find information about. Feedback included the following: 

_“It's really helpful to have a centralised place to access other people/groups in the community. It is also incredibly helpful that NSUN spearheads the strategic or policy response of the movement - the concise and considered articles/reports help me stay in touch with the direction and challenges of the movement at large without having to spend a lot of time doing research myself. NSUN has helped me feel part of a movement, which is vital for sustaining myself and the group as we try to bring about change and serve our community.”_ 

_“NSUN feels like a lifeline of hope for us as we slowly develop. We have found no other service that supports/includes peer led groups without a bank account and we hope to become more involved with NSUN as we build our confidence and expertise.”_ 

_“By far leading on consistently and coherently bringing a vulnerable and disparate community together through the newsletter alone. A way to get the feeling of a collective experience even if not on social media through the variety of information and a sense of something big going on, countering the isolation caused by trauma etc. Excellent for getting job vacancies out there, especially LX NHS jobs that miss out on reaching their intended audience... The bulletin is a really, really good thing and it really works, highlight of my week.”_ 

The two-day AGM and Members’ Event was held online and included the following panels: Beyond beneficiaries: resourcing user-led groups; Democratising policy: who does the work, who gets the recognition?; Care as resistance; Survivor researchers, what do we bring; and Lived Experience Leadership. The AGM also included the premiere of a podcast with the members of the StopSIM campaign, a small group discussion on peer support, and a group chat in collaboration with Bounce Black. All the panels and keynotes had British Sign Language interpretation, and the videos and transcripts are available on the AGM website: https://nsunagm2021.com

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

NSUN members voted at the AGM in support of NSUN’s conversion to a CIO. This process has now started and it is envisaged that it will be completed in the next financial year. 

Initial scoping work on the membership structure and offer was started after the AGM in November, and is expected to be completed and launched in the first half of 2022. 

## **Policy work** 

NSUN’s policy work is funded by Trust for London to take a social determinants approach to mental health, looking at poverty and precarity, and its impact on mental health. 

A key focus in NSUN’s policy work has been creating stronger partnerships beyond mental health. This has meant connecting with organisations including Joseph Rountree Foundation (JRF), Z2K, Turn2US, APLEcollective, and others, and joining campaigning coalitions including the Social Security Consortium (led by Child Poverty Action Group) and Keeping the Lifeline (led by JRF). Core themes of the policy work include lack of community funds, loss of income due to mental health and lack of statutory support when facing hardship. Much of NSUN’s policy work is achieved through coalitions or cross-sector approaches, for example through our membership of the Disability Benefits Consortium and DPO Forum, looking at issues such as the - - - National Disability Strategy (https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/national disability strategy where-do-we-go-from-here/) and the Health and Disability Green Paper. 

As part of the Theory of Change, NSUN has reviewed its policy work, to determine where the organisation is best placed to effect change. This will be shared and operationalised in 2022. In many traditional mental health policy spaces, NSUN might have less leverage for structural reasons, and these spaces do not always adequately reflect the concerns of the membership, who do not live single issue lives. For example, a focus group which NSUN ran with members which was aimed at better understanding members’ experiences of money, social security, and mental health, highlighted instead particularly acute issues around the mental health of those who are undocumented or have precarious migration status. This session prompted an exploration of data, anonymity and policy work 

(https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/invisibility-in-policy-work-when-more-data-isnt-alwaysthe-answer/). As a result of this session with members, restricted access to secondary mental health care for those who are undocumented/have precarious migration status is a core theme of ongoing policy work.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

Additional work has focused on themes including the  securitisation of health, where policing or counter-extremism measures are embedded in mental health services. This includes responding to Medact’s report on Vulnerability Support Hubs (https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/racism-mental-health-and-pre-crime-policing-the-ethicsof-vulnerability-support-hubs/) and a submission to Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights (https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/surveillance-in-mental-health-settingsjchr/). NSUN continues to chair the Mental Health Alliance, which focuses on mental health legislation, and coordinated a joint letter to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on institutional racism in relation to the Act (https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/open-letter-to-sajid-javid-institutional-racism-mhareform/). NSUN has also responded to events, for example COP26 (https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/mental-health-and-climate-justice-where-do-we-stand/), or the September announcements on social care charging: https://www.nsun.org.uk/news/nsun-statement-on-social-care-charging/. 

## **North East together** 

North East together (NEt) is the Regional Network for people with lived experience of mental health conditions living in the North East of England. 

The last year has at times been a challenging one for North East together, as the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic continued to affect the membership. 

In response to this, NEt held some Members Meetings online via Zoom and also created and distributed a survey to members to find out how the pandemic had impacted on the support they or the person they cared for had received. Learnings were forwarded to the Northern Clinical Network who NEt worked in partnership with to research people’s experiences of accessing mental health services and the impact the pandemic had upon this. For this research NEt held meetings across the region in North Tyneside, Gateshead, Durham and Middlesbrough as well as hosting a meeting online via Zoom. This work began in February 2022 and continued in the next financial year. North East together also supported Pride in Mind, a social and support group for members of the LGBT+ communities with lived experience of a mental health condition, with the NEt secretary organising and co- facilitating regular meetings and social activities for the group up until September 2021. 

Going forward, North East together are planning to work in partnership with the Integrated Care System in the North East and Cumbria and plan some further research on mental health and inequalities later in 2022.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **Survivor Researcher Network** 

NSUN hosted the Survivor Researcher Network (SRN) for ten years, from 2011 until October 2021, when it became an independent network and Community Interest Company: https://survivorresearcher.net. NSUN supported the transition and exit strategy, including through an external facilitator to support SRN to articulate its mission and objectives. 

While it was hosted with NSUN, SRN shared resources and opportunities relating to survivor research through its bulletin, held regular discussion spaces and events, including at the NSUN AGM, contributed to publications, and lobbied research organisations and funders for opportunities for user-led research. 

## **Synergi** 

NSUN  secured a three year grant from Lankelly Chase to host the new iteration of Synergi, a complex and ambitious programme of work focusing on the intersection of racial justice and mental health, from April 2022. During the course of 21/22, NSUN worked closely with Catalyst 4 Change, Lankelly Chase, the members of the first phase of Synergi, and the Synergi Advisory Board, to scope out the possibilities for the next phase of the work. This was funded through a contract and then a bridging grant from Lankelly Chase. 

The 5 work streams planned for the second phase of Synergi are: 

- Remembrance as resistance: developing a multimedia and digital exhibition and festival programme that will act as a window to community action tackling mental health and racial injustices over the last 40 years in the UK, to reimagine mental health services and support for racialised communities 

- Building as abolition: working with and influencing funders to better understand abolitionist work in this space so that it is resourced and elevated 

- Creating spaces: building on the place-based creative and collaborative system change work which was developed in the first phase of Synergi 

- Democratising policy: managing an annual small grants programme to distribute to grassroots campaigning groups working on the intersection of racial justice and mental health 

- Transformational governance: embedding ethical and collaborative ways of working within Synergi and beyond it

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **misery** 

In 2020/21, NSUN supported misery, a queer, trans, intersex, Black, people of colour (QTIBPOC) sober mental health collective, by connecting them with a consultant to help them identify their strategic needs. As a result of this work, misery concluded that they would benefit from hosting/incubation within a larger organisation whose aims fitted with theirs. In March 2022, misery migrated their operations and finances to NSUN, becoming a hosted project. They will continue their activities with their own funding, but within the container of NSUN’s policies, legal structure and accounts. NSUN and misery hope that this relationship will be one of mutual learning and discovery. 

## **2027 Community Power Project** 

In 2021/22, a sub grant was awarded to the Centre for Knowledge and Equity for the delivery of the 2027 Community Power Project, which focuses on embedding lived experience within decision-making roles in critical local and regional institutions including NHS trusts.  The goal of this research is to help map and understand the current system dynamics, blockers, opportunities and examples of good practice, as well as to identify potential partners. Recruitment and planning have been put in place, and the next phase is data collection and analysis. 

## **Key aims for 2022/23 are** 

Develop and launch a new strategy and Theory of Change 

Develop and launch a new membership structure and offer 

Consolidate the growth of the organization and put in place additional support structures for staff in light of the growth of the team 

Launch the second phase of Synergi, a programme of work on racial justice and mental health, which will include a small grants fund 

Continue to promote and amplify members’ perspectives, voices and campaigns through communications 

Develop policy work alongside NSUN members, with a particular thematic focus in 22/23 on migrant justice and mental health 

Build on the capacity building work of Community Constellations, with a particular focus on youth-led work and groups led by and for people from racialised communities

## **Financial review** 

Income for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 totalled £508,168 (2021: £561,920) and decreased by £53,752 from the previous year. The largest area of decrease was seen in Grants and Donation which fell by £90,128 when compared with the previous year. The area which saw the greatest fall was grant income, which reduced by £161,732. Grant income was particularly high in 2020/21 due to significant funding totalling £165,000 for the NSUN Covid-19 fund, the similar NSUN Side-by-Side fund which ran in 2021/22 was smaller,  receiving grant funding of £29,920. 

NSUN’s principal source of funds during 2021-22 was income from grants and totals £318,515 (2021: 480,247) and comprises 63% of income (2019: 85%). The fall in this % is driven by unusually high one off donation income associated with the 2027 Project, and grant funding is likely to remain the principal source of funding in coming years. 

Expenditure totalled £469,455 (2021: £440,211) for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, an increase of £29,244 when compared with the previous year. Costs associated with grants to user-led groups fell by £122,988, due to the NSUN Side by Side fund issued in 2021/22 having been smaller than the NSUN Covid-19 Fund issued in the previous year. This decrease was offset by an increase in costs associated with hosted projects which rose by £137,143 compared to the previous year due to the 2027 Project and costs associated with the scoping work for Synergi. Costs associated with Resources for user- led groups have increased by £41,716 to £204,109 (2021: £162,393) due to a full year of the Community Constellations work. Influencing Policy costs have fallen by £26,627 to £76,095 (2021: £102,722) due to the large Covid-19 communications project which took place in 2021 having not been repeated this year. Total costs associated with staff across NSUN have increased by £76,755 to £190,326 (2021:£113,571) due to the expansion of the team from an average full time equivalent of 4.9 from 2.7 in the 2020/21. 

Support costs including governance costs, saw an increase of £30,411 compared with the previous year. Most costs have remained stable, with an increase in training costs having been seen as a result of a 6 session racial justice training undertaken with You Make It in 2021, for all staff and trustees. Governance costs increased by £23,083 due to higher staff time involved in supporting this area and a focus on strategic development and membership. Despite the increase in costs, due to the increase in the size of the team, support costs per full time equivalent staff fell over the course of the year. 

Page 13 



**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

Fundraising costs totalled £18,103 and fell by £2,812 with staff time in this area haven fallen in percentage terms. Fundraising costs relate to staff time spent on grant fundraising and associated support costs and the investment saw grant income of £318,515 received from these sources. As well as funds secured in the year, investment of time in fundraising in the year also saw the award of £84,620 for the 2022/23 financial year and beyond from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust. 

## **Total funds, reserves policy and going concern** 

Total funds at 31[st] March 2022 were £155,158 (2021: £134,548) and comprised restricted funds of £83,524 (2021: £61,091) and unrestricted funds of £71,914 (2021: £73,457). The largest remaining restricted funds comprise core funding and funding towards staff and Trustee wellness activities from Tudor Trust (£21,673), funding from the John Ellerman Foundation towards core costs (£30,000) and funding held on behalf of misery, a hosted project (£14,021).  Unrestricted funding comprised funding from Esmee Fairbairn towards core costs in the 2022/23 financial year of £38,537 and unrestricted income from donations and contracts.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

The Trustees review the charity’s reserves policy annually and aim to hold 3 months of fixed staff and running costs plus other specific amounts in relation to: staff redundancy entitlement, provision to cover any unexpected key staff sickness, provisions against unsecured consultancy income and provision against the unrestricted grants, whose balances form part of the unrestricted reserves but where there is an expectation they will be used to fund costs in the coming year and not held as contingency reserves. As such the agreed reserves target is £143,267 including £38,537 in relation to unrestricted grants to be used in the coming year.

At the 31[st] March 2022 unrestricted free reserves, excluding fixed assets, totalled £70,452. This comprised 30% of the unrestricted reserves requirement. This compares to 32% of the unrestricted reserves requirement in the previous year. The percentage of unrestricted reserves held has fallen slightly due to an increase in the reserves policy surrounding the larger team and does not reflect a fall in funds. Actual reserves saw a growth of £6,000 during the year and Trustees aim to set aside further unrestricted funds over the coming year but anticipate that it may take several years before reserves are maintained at the level set by the reserves policy due to unrestricted income making up a low proportion of NSUN’s overall income.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

The Trustees have reviewed the budgets for the 2022/23 financial year, including reserves and secured income and consider there to be sufficient funding secured to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis. 

## **Grant Making Policy** 

NSUN’s grant making policy is specific to the funds being distributed and is in line with the conditions of the funder, which during the 2021/22 financial year was the Side by Side Fund, funded by Mind via a grant from Garfield Weston Foundation and Morrisons Foundation. The Trustees consider micro-grants an effective means of achieving NSUN’s charitable objectives of building capacity for user led groups. Grants were awarded to peer support, mutual aid or self-help groups in England and Wales to connect remotely, prepare to move their activities to face-to-face, or make their group more sustainable. 

Applications for grants were invited through the weekly bulletin and advertised widely through social media channels. It is NSUN’s policy to make grants as accessible as possible and applications were made through using a light-touch form and with the offer of support from a grants manager. Applications were reviewed on a first come first serve basis and were shortlisted by a grants manager.  The panel met each week for the duration of the fund and comprised the CEO, a member of the Side by Side Advisory Board, and one NSUN Trustee. Where successful, restricted grants were awarded to groups subject to agreement with the terms and conditions set out in the grant agreement. NSUN’s policy is   that all expenditure will be agreed to supporting evidence and at the end of the grant period each grant was monitored by the Finance Manager to ensure compliance with this. Grants were awarded  to user-led groups or organisations, which were run, governed or delivered by people with direct experience of the kinds of challenges faced by the people they intend to help or support.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **Key Risks and Uncertainty** 

The Trustees regularly review the principal risks and major uncertainties to which the charity may be exposed and systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks. 

The Board review the risk register at every Board Meeting (at least quarterly) which lists the key risks identified together with a risk score calculated based on the probability and the potential impact of the risk concerned. A separate Synergi High Level Risk Register is also shared and discussed as a standing item, due to the size and complexity of Synergi as a hosted project, and the associated risks. Actions being taken to manage the identified risks are listed on the registers. 

Key risks identified during the year are: 

- 1) The ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic, particularly on funding, given the increased pressure on grant-making trusts and foundations. This is being managed though a fundraising strategy which identifies funding pipelines. 89% of funding has been secured for 22/23 and the Trustees do not anticipate any difficulties in securing the remaining 11% which is not required until later in the year. 

- 2) Board effectiveness, including risks around poor communications and skills, which continues to be addressed through a skills audit, Board appraisal process, Board training, and a Board development process in 2022. 

- 3) Lack of racial diversity on the Board, particularly in the light of Synergi, a new hosted project on racial justice and mental health. It has been partly addressed through the 2021 trustee recruitment and a 6 week training on racial justice, and will continue to be addressed through the 2022 trustee recruitment. 

- 4) Clarity over the membership offer and the most appropriate legal structure of NSUN going forward, which have now been agreed, and will be operationalised in 22/23.

**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **Contribution made by volunteers** 

We are incredibly grateful to all of the volunteers many of whom have provided considerable pro bono support valued at £32,878 ( 2021:£33,800) and included within the financial statements. This has included pro-bono legal  support, coaching, room hire, as well as individuals generously sharing their expertise. 

## **Structure Governance and Management** 

The National Survivor User Network (NSUN) is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee with charity number 1135980 and Company number 07166851. NSUN’s governing documents are Articles  of Association and the charity operates in England. 

Trustees (who are also Company Directors) are elected at the Annual General Meeting or co-opted onto the Board when a serving Trustee resigns during the year. The Articles of Association state that the minimum number of Trustees should be 3 and the maximum 12. Trustees must retire at the AGM which falls on or after the third anniversary of their appointment and may be  reappointed. 

Skills gaps at Board level are addressed by regular skills audits. New Trustees are inducted by the Chair, Vice- Chair and CEO  and offered training as necessary. 

The Board meets at least 5 times a year. 

Day to day management of the charity has been delegated to the CEO (previously the Managing Director). The CEO is supported by staff, consultants (“Associates”) and volunteers, if applicable, and a scheme of delegation is in place. 

Page 18 



**National Survivor User Network Trustee’s annual report (including Directors’ Report) for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)** 

## **Organisational Structure and Key Management Personnel** 

The CEO reports to the Chair of NSUN, who is responsible for convening Board meetings and ensuring correct governance of the charity with other Trustees. The Chair is also responsible for appraising the performance of the CEO and Trustees. 

During the year, there were 6 other members of staff, the General Manager, the Communications Manager, the Project Manager of Community Constellations, the Policy Officer, the Communications Assistant and the Policy Intern and several self ‐ employed consultants (“Associates”) who are line managed and ‐ appraised by the CEO. The Finance Manager was contracted on a self employment basis. 

The Board makes use of l task and finish groups and sub committees where needed to undertake specific tasks. In 2021/22 a group of trustees supported the new trustee recruitment process and a number of trustees meet informally to review the finance papers. 

The SORP considers the key management personnel of the charity to be those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the charity, directly or indirectly. The Trustees consider that the NSUN Board of Trustees and the CEO are Key Management Personnel of the charity. 

The pay of the CEO is reviewed annually by the Chair and benchmarked to similar posts within the sector. 

Details of Trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 19 to the financial statements. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the CEO and, in accordance with the charities policy, withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

The report of the Trustees has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of section 415(A) of the Companies Act 2006. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of National Survivor User Network** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 22 to 40. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the company’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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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 financial statements to be reached.

## **1. Basis of Preparation** 

## 1.a Basis of Accounting 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 

## 1.b Legal Form 

## 1.c 

National Survivor User Network is a charitable company incorporated in England under the Companies Act 2006. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is 15 Bunhill Row, London EC1Y 8LP. The charity’s operations and principal activities are included on page 2 and 3 of the Trustees’ annual report. 

## Going Concern 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have looked at least 12 months from the signing date of these accounts, considering the charity's cost base, reserves and secured funding and have concluded that there are no material uncertainties around the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## 1.d Accounting Policies 

The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

## 1.e 

Significant accounting estimates and judgements 

Aside from going concern set out in 1c above, there have been no other key estimates or judgements required in determining the carrying values of assets and liabilities. 

## **2. Accounting Policies** 

## **Income** 

2.a Recognition of income 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

   - the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

   - it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and 

   - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

- 2.b There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP. 

## 2.c Grants and donations 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met, generally upon receipt. 

Where grants are of a performance related nature, income is only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met. 

## 2.d 

Government grants 

The charity has received government grants in the reporting period and these are disclosed in note 3a. 

## 2.e Tax reclaims on donations and gifts 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a 

donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## 2.f Contractual income 

This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. 

Page 25 



National Survivor User Network 

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **2. Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## 2.g Donated goods and services/facilities 

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. 

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA. 

## 2.h Volunteer help 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 

## **Expenditure** 

2.i Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

2.j Allocation of governance and support costs Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity it is necessary to provide support in the form of personnel development and support, financial support, insurances and IT support. 

Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity (including independent examination costs) and costs in respect of its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Support costs including governance costs are apportioned based on the proportion of time spent on each activity by staff. 

## **Assets and Liabilities** 

- 2.l Accrued and deferred income 

Accrued income relates to gift aid receivable only. 

Deferred income relates to contract income received where a proportion of the work remains incomplete. 

## 2.m Debtors 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## 2.n Creditors 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## 2.o Bank and Cash 

Cash includes cash held in the charity’s bank accounts, amounts held by PayPal and Equals Money. 

## 2.p Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity 

Tangible fixed assets represent computer equipment and are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £250. They are valued at cost. Assets are depreciated over 4 years on a straight-line basis.

In 2021/22 The NSUN Side by Side fund awarded grants to peer support, mutual aid or self-help groups in England and Wales to connect remotely, prepare to move their activities to face-to-face, or make their group more sustainable. The grant was aimed at  groups that benefit people or communities who live with mental ill-health, trauma and distress, take place in a community setting (i.e. not NHS or local authority), and are in some way led by members of the community they engage. Grants were funded by Mind's Side by Side: Peer support in the community project. 

In 2021/22, a sub grant was awarded to the Centre for Knowledge and Equity for the delivery of the 2027 Project, which focuses on embedding lived experience within decision-making roles in critical local and regional institutions including NHS trusts. 

In 2020/21 the NSUN Covid Fund awarded grants to support community led and user-led groups and organisations to support  community action, peer support, mutual aid and other activities that made a direct difference to the lives of people living with mental ill-health, trauma and distress during this Covid-19 period. Grants were funded by the Department of Health and Social Care through the Mind Coronavirus Mental Health Response Fund,  and by Lankelly Chase 

No grants were awarded to individuals
