Structure, governance and management
Care in Mind is a registered Charity governed by its trust deeds and regulations established by the charity commission in England and Wales.
Objectives and activities
The Relief of unemployment for the public benefit in such ways as may be fit including, but not limited to assistance to identify and overcome barriers to employment, raise aspirations and employability of local people with Mental Health problems and generational unemployment issues and promote independence.
Trustees normally meet up to three to four times per year and administer all day to day affairs. The day to day running of Care in Mind is facilitated by Trustees and Volunteers.
Care in Mind is a small volunteer-led independent charity founded in December 2009 and became a registered charity in December 2010. The charity is quite unique as we do not employ paid staff, to achieve our objectives we aim to work with client’s who are not a ‘statutory’ fit to access local government services, to identify and overcome barriers to employment, promote independence and community integration. We also aim to create opportunities for client’s to develop their skills and use them on behalf of Care in Mind with particular focus on improving their role in supporting recruitment, being skilled volunteers and facilitators. Care in Mind delivers several volunteer-led projects such as: Health in Mind which consists of the following weekly groups; Bikeability sessions, Healthy Eating and Walking. We also deliver on a weekly basis a creative writing project called Space to Think, Pilate’s sessions, Self-confidence and Self-esteem Self-help groups, Mind to Progress, Project Management and Relapse Prevention. Volunteers are offered full-training to support them in the specific project area they choose to volunteer in once training is completed they work alongside an hourly paid sessional worker until each volunteer is confident enough to deliver, or initially, part deliver a project. Care in Mind works with a wide client base and projects delivered are extremely popular. We act on regular feedback to improve our services this is facilitated by distributing Feedback forms and through our monthly focus group
We organise events that are really popular within the local community, for instance, regular open days to introduce our services to the wider public, we also facilitated day trips to Bicester and Hastings and organise annual Christmas parties, but this has not been possible with Covid 19 restrictions.

Volunteers

Newsletters
Care in Mind still continues to compile and distribute fortnightly Newsletters, this keeps local residents, particularly our clients, local Community and Mental Health Teams and other Community Groups up to date with our progress.
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to have six month's running cost in reserves to cover operational activities. We currently hold £9,200 in our reserves account.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees’ of Care in Mind are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Reports of the Independent Examiner to the trustees of Care in Mind.
I report on the accounts of Care in Mind for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out in pages 1 to 15
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, as amended;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission and Regulations 11 of the 2006 Regulation. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies
Act 2006, section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations: and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006, section 44(1)(b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations; and
- which are consistent with the methods and principles of the statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by charities
have not been met; or
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding period.
1.1. Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005)
1.2. Cash flow
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement because it is a small charity.
1.3. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generating funds when they are sold.
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.4. Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes including the charity's shop.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
