## **CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
2022 to 2023 proved to be another successful year for Tyneside and Northumberland Mind. With income reaching £1,282,307, a healthy reserves position of £588,551 and unrestricted funds of £518,978.
With Covid 19 and all its restrictions now starting to ease, we put this period behind us, as we resumed our face-to-face services. We began to see a sense of normality after an extremely tough time where we evidenced our ability to meet the needs of an ever-changing world.
This year we have responded to the growing and urgent requirements of the communities in which we work, particularly within marginalized communities, working with a number of partners to embed our DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) work into everything we do.
It has been necessary to respond to the increase in mental health support, due to financial hardship. As we saw the cost-of-living rise, we created new services and better support for people affected by poverty, responding quickly when new challenges emerge. Tyneside and Northumberland Mind worked extremely hard this year and has achieved a high level of success and performance, supporting over 2,000 people.
We have invested in improving our digital footprint and have enhanced the information, advice and support we offer online. We have increased our digital access by 48%. From social media to our website we have used our platforms to ensure people are supported.
Our telephone support line continued to be an integral part of our front door offer, giving people access to immediate support over the phone across our area of benefit taking over 3,000 calls from people struggling with their mental health.
Our statutory contracts remained stable, and we secured 3 years of funding from Gateshead Council for our Safe space model and a further 3 years funding for our REVOC contract supporting victims of crime.
We continued to develop our paid-for services offering training and education in relation to mental health as we saw a greater demand for these services as more workplaces and businesses prioritised staff wellbeing.
This has been achieved by actively expanding our local network, tirelessly cultivating robust relationships across our community with businesses, institutions and organisations.
Our training department operates across diverse sectors - education, public services, healthcare, construction, technology, engineering, retail, third sector, and hospitality. We have supported teams of all sizes, from SMEs to large PLCs.
Within the period we have been nurturing strategic collaborations, and we have successfully partnered with Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue and, separately, with a local Mind project to support businesses.
We broadened our reach by introducing the open course format, facilitating greater access to our training resources and enhancing accessibility.
We have provided bespoke solutions for unique challenges. Notably, we supported a national retail client and an international engineering company through online sessions. We also successfully delivered a series of events for Newcastle University Alumni which will hopefully become an annual programme of work.
Our corporate initiatives extend to fundraising and donor support, both on an exclusive and ad hoc basis. We are grateful for the outstanding support and backing received in the period from partners such as Malhotra Group Plc, Brewin Dolphin, and British Engines, among many others.

## **CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
We continue to push our Corporate Partnership Package which includes us providing a calendar of events and activities that corporate supporters are getting involved with to strengthen partnerships, encourage fundraising and improve wellbeing throughout their workforce. We are looking forward to establishing and growing relations with more organisations over this coming period.
All this would not be possible without the help of everyone who supports us from our team, volunteers, trustees, stakeholders, supporters, donors and grant funders.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who has helped and supported us to achieve our aims and purpose, making Tyneside and Northumberland Mind the fantastic organisation it is today.
Together we will keep finding ways to respond, demanding better support and helping more people in more ways. Looking to the future in 2023/2024, we will launch our new strategy to guide us and the charity's direction for the next 3 years. Standing together for better mental health shows just how powerful a community of like–minded individuals can be, demonstrating our impact with our 'Theory of Change' and diversifying our income streams to respond to the ever-growing demand for our help and support.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Our Mission**
Working together to make people and our communities stronger and healthier through education, training and support for mental health and wellbeing.
## **Our Vision**
To be the most trusted mental health and wellbeing charity.
## **Our Values**
Collaborative - we collaborate and work together Accessible - we are accessible and approachable for all Respectful - we are respectful and inclusive of everyone Empowering - we empower you to be the best you want to be Supportive - we support our clients through high quality services and partnerships
The Board said goodbye to some members this year, and new members joined us. All Board members share a passion for improving mental health and wellbeing and bring a diverse range of skills and experiences to our work. We thank them for the support they have given freely to our clients and service users, our organisation, our staff team, and to the Chair.
As well as our strategic role in setting the direction and framework for Tyneside & Northumberland Mind, we have monitored the key risks (using our strategic risk register) and our financial situation closely during the year, as well as overseeing the performance and development of our work.
## **Public benefit**
The Charity's objects are, for the benefit of the public generally, both in the United Kingdom and overseas and, in particular, the inhabitants of Tyne and Wear and Northumberland and its surrounding areas:
- to promote the preservation of good mental health in particular by enabling and empowering everyone experiencing mental health problems to live with, manage and recover from their condition; and
- to relieve the needs of people with mental health problems by working to increase the understanding of mental health and mental health problems by gathering and disseminating information and working to raise awareness, promote understanding and challenge stigma and discrimination.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
We were successful with a three year grant application bid to sustain and grow the Family Support Programme in North Northumberland. Alongside this, we collaborated locally to create a role of Outreach Worker to support the NHS in engaging people with severe mental illness, to encourage participation with annual physical health checks at the local general practice and to follow up on any resulting actions required.
We continued to deliver our Alternative to Crisis (ACT) service and also completed an in-depth evaluation of its effectiveness. ACT provided a listening service, a high intensity service and a support line, and developed new approaches and reached diverse and marginalised communities. The support line was made available seven days a week, the listening service was delivered to clients over a six week period and the high intensity support service provided in-depth specialist, proactive support to people who did not meet the threshold for crisis services, or as a step down from services.
Our Safe Space Communities provide vital in-depth regular mental health and wellbeing support to local people. As part of our growing commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we extended our work by collaborating with two grassroots partner organisations, Rainbow Homes and St Vincent de Paul, to provide tailored and accessible support for people who Sanctuary Seekers and people who are LBGTQ plus.
The Reach Out programme focussed on suicide prevention and enabled us to produce content on an inclusive and accessible Digital Wellbeing platform with resources aimed to combat suicide. The resources on our SelfCare and Wellbeing Hub supported the alleviation of mental health struggles within our community, were easily accessible and created on platforms that allow users to watch in their own space. This helped reach some people who were previously afraid or embarrassed to reach out for support for their fragile mental health. The programme also offered a variety of weekly workshops that focus on gently building confidence and self-care through art and conversation-led sessions.
We were successful in securing our REVOC grant, allowing us to support victims of crime for a further three years. We worked with a partner, housing refugees across the UK, in order to design and roll out a therapeutic rapid response service / pathway in the case of suicide and trauma for service users, support the wellbeing of the staff of the partner organisation and proactively encourage a suicide prevention culture.
This year was a year in which we helped more people than ever, at a lower unit cost. We are very proud of the specialist support we provide, both through our NHS and other contracts and tailored to individual communities of need. We are increasingly recognised for our services to employers, in line with our vision to be the most trusted mental health charity.
All those who worked with us in the year did an amazing job, in very demanding circumstances. We thank them, our volunteers, and our CEO, Alex Wilson, and her senior management team. We also thank our partners, stakeholders, and funders. We have played our part in the wider Mind federation. We want to thank all of our colleagues both nationally and in other local Mind Associations for their advice and support over the year, not least in helping to raise the profile of mental health issues, reducing the stigma associated with them, and helping to make space for a new openness and honesty in debate that can only be positive in helping people to ask for the support they need when they need it.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Income of £1,282,307 (2022 £1,095,045) was generated in the year. £242,042 of this income related to restricted funds. An operating surplus of £130,973 was achieved in this financial year, increasing total funds carried forward to £588,551. This surplus was a decrease of £29,719 on the previous financial year. The free reserves of the charity amounted to £382,769 Full details of the results for the year can be found on page 13.
## **Policy on reserves**
At the year end, free reserves were £382,769 (2022 £230,009) an increase of £152,760 in the year. The Trustees' focus is to continue to work with funders to budget future surpluses in order to provide improved organisational sustainability, support our future strategic plan and to maintain a free reserves policy of 6 months operating costs as agreed by the Board, the charity is on track to achieve this target. Designated funds are maintained for future project delivery and to support organisational development. The reserves position will be reviewed annually by the Board to maintain free reserves in line with the agreed reserves policy.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. Annual budgets are monitored on a monthly basis. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
We plan a Charter for Change Programme (led by Trustees, the CEO, our Lived Experience Group and staff), which will integrate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) into all aspects of the organisation, influencing strategy and priorities. There will be a strong emphasis on creating an open culture which fosters conversations, learning and challenge, backed up by a programme of workforce development training, and policy, process and systems change. The work will place DE&I front and centre of what we do now and in the future. As a result, we will increase access to mental health services (ours and others) for and with marginalised local people, celebrate lived experience, build a strong demonstration model for making integrated DE&I change and significantly enhance organisational integrity and impact.
We plan to work with a local fundraising team to create The Hope Project, focussing on mental health and suicide prevention to bring inspiration, knowledge and support to our community. This is joint-working, bringing our knowledge and expertise together with the fundraising team's enthusiasm and commitment to raise funds to create a legacy in honour of two of their friends and family members, who died as a result of suicide. We will deliver suicide awareness and mental health sessions to staff and students in schools, a university and a college.
We also aim to develop a new strategic plan for the organisation over the next year and develop our Theory of Change, which helps us understand and demonstrate our impact on the communities we serve.

## **TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Nature of governing document**
Tyneside and Northumberland Mind is a company limited by guarantee (registered number 07552434) and a registered charity (registered number 1140856), affiliated to the national charity Mind. Tyneside and Northumberland Mind is directed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for ensuring that the organisation meets all its statutory, contractual, and social obligations.
Tyneside and Northumberland Mind is governed by a constitution that is common to all affiliated associations of the national charity Mind. It is a condition of affiliation to national Mind that Tyneside and Northumberland Mind adopts this constitution as its basic governing document. The document includes details governing the conduct of trustee meetings and the selection and appointment of Trustees and officers of the charity.
## **Recruitment and appointment of Trustees**
The Trustees are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and ideally have an interest in mental health issues and/or lived experience. All Trustee posts are advertised. Where there is more than one applicant for each vacancy, interviews will be held, including with service users and or/members of the Lived Experience Group. Potential new Trustees must provide a C.V. and set out why they wish to become a Trustee of Tyneside and Northumberland Mind. Applicants are interviewed by the Chair and attend a Board meeting as an Observer to ensure they agree with the Vision, Mission and Values of the charity. If they are deemed to be a good fit then they are appointed by the Board, subject to checks on ability to serve as Directors and Trustees.
Trustees must retire on the third anniversary of appointment but may be reappointed for a consecutive period. A Trustee who has served for nine years or more consecutively may not be reappointed until the anniversary of their retirement except in exceptional circumstances.
## **Induction and training of Trustees**
Our process is intended to ensure inclusion, provide the right skills mix and also provide a balanced and functional Board. The recruitment process forms part of induction to our organisation.
1. Chief Executive and Chair provide regular support and learning opportunities to new Trustees.
2. Trustee training is incorporated into the Board meetings.
3. Trustees undertake a self-appraisal process with the Chair on an annual basis.
4. All Trustees are afforded the opportunity to visit the bases and projects of the organisation.
## **Key Management Personnel**
The Board give their time freely and no Trustees received remuneration in the year. They have considered who the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the charity are, as noted in the Reference and Administration section. Together with the Board, these KMP are those in charge of directing and controlling, running, and operating the activities of the charity on a day-to-day basis. The pay of the KMP is reviewed as judged appropriate and normally increased with reference to annual earnings. The Trustees benchmark against pay levels of other charities and similar organisations within the sector and the region. Pay levels are set using this information together with the budget and forecast information, ensuring that the charity can afford any proposed increases. The Board then agree any uplift to remuneration.
## **Organisational structure**
The Board of Trustees meets formally at least six times per year to conduct its business, but many additional, informal meetings take place between the Trustees, Chief Executive, staff, and volunteers to provide mutually beneficial support. Sub-groups are established as required to take forward specific pieces of work. Broadly, under the agreed scheme of delegation the Board of Trustees determines and approves all policies, and the Chief Executive and staff implement the policy.
Page 6
## **TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT - continued**
The day-to-day management of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive under a scheme of delegation. She reports to the Board of Trustees. Performance management of the Chief Executive is the responsibility of the Chair. During informal interaction the Trustees take care to ensure that line management responsibilities are respected and used appropriately and that the Chief Executive receives management support only from the Chair (or a designated deputy), acting on behalf of the Board of Trustees.
## **Risk management**
Trustees are responsible for the overseeing of the risks faced by the charity, and review the risk register periodically. The risk register is completed by the CEO and Board of Trustees and addresses strategic and organisation wide risk. The CEO manages day to day risk, delegating to managers where appropriate and informing the Board of anything likely to become a strategic or fundamental risk.
Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. Risk is managed under the headings of Financial, Governance, Compliance, Operational and Reputational Risks.
## **Fundraising disclosures**
The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised direct from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Tyneside And Northumberland Mind for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report 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.
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 to 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
Read, Milburn & Co. were appointed auditor to the company on 28 March 2023 following the resignation of Haines Watts.
In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of Read, Milburn & Co. as auditors of the charity is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 23 November 2023 and signed on its behalf by:
Lynda Cox Chair

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Tyneside And Northumberland Mind (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 10
**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 11
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. In this regard, our procedures include the following:
- enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims;
- reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates.
Because of the field in which the charity operates, we have identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Health and Safety; Employment Law; and compliance with the Companies and Charities Acts.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1. LEGAL STATUS**
Tyneside and Northumberland Mind is a company limited by guarantee (no. 07552434) and not having share capital. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
The company's registered number and registered office address can be found within the Reference and Administrative Details section of the Trustees' Annual Report.
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling, rounded to the nearest Pound (£).
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **Funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company 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 which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The cost 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.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Incoming resources**
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 the income receivable can be measured reliably.

**TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Donations and legacies**
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until after either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
## **Grants receivable**
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to the expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## **Raising funds**
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
## **Charitable activities**
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of 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.
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor area, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Schedule 6, Paragraph 1 of the 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 gains received or realised within categories covered by Part 11, Chapter 3 of the Corporation Taxes Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Leasehold improvements Over life of lease Furniture and equipment 25% on cost
## **Investments**
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
**Cash and cash equivalents** Cash at bank and cash 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.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Leases**
Leases in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
## **Financial instruments**
The charity has only 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.
## **Estimation uncertainty and judgements**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

**TYNESIDE AND NORTHUMBERLAND MIND**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
