## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024** 

Comic Relief provided initial funding to start up an Advocacy, Group Work and Training Project, run by Mind in Brighton and Hove.  This became MindOut LGB&T Mental Health Project, now trading as MindOut LGBTQ Mental Health Service 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity continued to fundraise from donation income from both individual and corporate donors. Our training programme continued to generate training income. This year there was an overall reduction in unrestricted income to £390,277 due to pandemic and post pandemic support from larger corporate donors coming to the ed of their cycle. Our expenditure also reduced to £638,363 this year. Decisions to streamline the charity’s resources were made including redundancies of senior staff, and relocation to protect frontline services and sustainability of the charity. The greater expenses resulted in a deficit of unrestricted activities during the year, with £248,086 used from our reserves. 

Our unrestricted reserves brought forward were £380,381  leaving us with £132,295to be carried forward. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The Memorandum of Association allows the Trustees to deposit or invest funds in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining advice from a financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification). 

## **Reserves policy** 

Due to the challenging funding environment, the charity’s reserves fell below the levels agreed by the Trustees within the reserve policy. The Trustees have set as a priority that the reserve levels are brought back up to reach levels set out within the policy of 12 months operating costs. 

The Trustees policy is as follows: 

"Our policy is that, as a priority, reserves must always be sufficient to cover the potential liability for statutory redundancy pay.  We bear in mind at all times the potential costs of staff falling sick long term. If circumstances justify it, we will use reserves to offer match funding to attract new project grants or to fund the core service temporarily in the event of a gap between funding streams". 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of MindOut LGB&T Mental Health Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance  with applicable  law  and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable  company will continue in business.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **MINDOUT LGB&T MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 19. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

Having satisfied myself that the accounts 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 charity’s accounts 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 report** 

Since your charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered 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: 

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

- (2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or 

- (3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

- (4) the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

## **MINDOUT LGB&T MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of Accounting** 

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 Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102, effective 1st January 2015), hereafter referred to as the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

MindOut LGB&T Mental Health Project 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 note. 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.  However, there are no judgements or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and on that basis the charity is considered to be a going concern. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from donations is accounted for as received by the charity. 

The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs.  The value of voluntary work is not included in the financial statements. 

Grants are recognised  in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.  Grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted  income when they are receivable.  Where the use of the  asset is restricted, depreciation is charged against the restricted fund. Where the use of the asset is not restricted it is transferred to the general fund. 

Other income, including investment income, is recorded on an accruals basis.

## **MINDOUT LGB&T MENTAL HEALTH PROJECT (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024** 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised  as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive  obligation  committing the  charity to that expenditure,  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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

All expenditure is accounted for an accrual basis and has been classified under the relevant headings. 

(1) Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting grants, voluntary income and fees. 

(2) 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. It also includes those costs previously shown as governance costs. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 and Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental costs of acquisition. 

## **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 either market value or their settlement value.
