**Root & Branch Westmill Trustees Annual Report** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Introduction** 

Root & Branch help people who experience mental health difficulties, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder. Located on an organic farm in the beautiful Vale of the White Horse, we take our Service Users on a journey through a wide range of interesting activities to help them to regain their self-esteem, lead a fuller life and get them ready for the next stage of their life journey. 

## **Mission** 

We help adults on the recovery towards mental and emotional wellbeing, encouraging creativity, physical activity and promoting good nutrition through healthy eating. 

We support adults with severe enduring mental health difficulties to gain new confidence and learn new skills using the power of gardening and nature. 

We want people with mental health issues to: 

- Be empowered to live fulfilled lives with meaning and purpose 

- • Have self-esteem and confidence 

We want society to be non-judgemental, inclusive and accepting of people with mental health issues. 

Root & Branch is part of a broader provision of services across Oxfordshire provided by the Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership. They provide about 25% of our funding, which comes through **Restore** , a separate charity (no. 274222). In all other respects Root & Branch is fully independent of Restore.  It should be noted that we also accept Participants from Wiltshire and Swindon Borough as close neighbours. 


## **Public benefit** 

When planning activities, the trustees followed the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The charity operates in Watchfield, Oxfordshire, focusing on therapeutic work for residents of the Vale of the White Horse and towns/villages close to the border with Swindon. It also organizes activities to connect and engage with the local community. 

## **Volunteers** 

Our charity relies heavily on the regular and generous contributions of our dedicated volunteers, who provide 

3 



**Root & Branch Westmill** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

around 5,000 hours (about 7 months) of unpaid work. The board of trustees deeply values their ongoing enthusiasm and commitment, which is crucial to our success. 


## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable Activities** 

The dedication, commitment, and professionalism of our staff and volunteers empower us to provide effective support to adults with enduring mental health challenges, increasingly recognized as a vital part of the local healthcare system. 

We have a reputation for quality with a genuinely caring approach recognised by local health professionals and the wider community. Alongside this we offer extraordinary value for our funding as our delivery costs equate to around £60 per person a day. 


## **The Financial Year 2023-2024** 

In 2023-2024, 30 adults, regularly attended Root & Branch. Each participant sets personal goals in collaboration with our staff and is provided with a wide range of opportunities to achieve them through participation in our services and activities. 

Participants have been encouraged and supported to explore: 

- Volunteering 

- Courses and Education 

- Introduction into work 

- Signposted support service, and signposting to external agencies 

- External Tutor led physical activities 

- Tutor-led crafts, workshops and cooking, talks and visits 

- • Benefits and housing advice 


We have continued to invest in training and in the therapeutic garden.  We have six members of staff (all part time, totalling 120 hours a week) supported by over twenty volunteers. We have a pension scheme offered to all employed staff with both R&B and the employee contributing. 

We are proud to have a team of experienced professionals who create a safe, supportive environment, fostering calm, confidence, and structure. Their expertise enables participants to take positive steps toward their personal

**Root & Branch Westmill** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

goals and recovery. The trustees would like to express their gratitude for the ongoing professionalism and dedication demonstrated by our staff. 

The trustees also wish to acknowledge and thank everyone who supports the charity through volunteer effort or through financial donations, which makes our important work possible. 

As a charity we rely heavily on volunteer effort, and besides our team of regular volunteers who provide one-toone support for Participants , this year we have also been able to engage local groups such as the  Rotary Club Faringdon, Zurich Insurance, Sophos, Nationwide, Fiscal Technologies, Adkin Rural and Commercial Surveryors to help us with construction and maintenance work – we are tremendously grateful for their invaluable support. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

Root & Branch must raise significant funds to provide support to our participants. The money we receive through the contract arrangements with Restore covers less than 25% of our total costs, so we also commit energy and imagination to a fundraising process ourselves. 

We regularly apply for charitable grants from Foundations and Trusts, and occasionally seek larger or local grants. We have also used external fundraisers to assist, particularly with Foundation grants. 


We also raise funds through activities like plant and craft sales. 

Additionally, we are increasingly leveraging social media and online platforms like JustGiving to expand our reach and enhance the impact of our fundraising efforts. 

A primary focus of our fundraising effort has been to replace the substantial element of support we have received from Lloyds over the last 6 years.  We have been very pleased to receive a long-term grant from the National Lottery Community which lasts until the end of 2025, specifically to enable us to 

employ a Therapeutic Gardener, whose work involves determining ambitions and goals in discussion with Participants and helping them reach their potential through social and therapeutic horticulture.  The Lottery also added a short-term uplift grant over two years to help with cost of living rises. 

To further boost our funding raising efforts, the Trustees decided to employ an experienced fund-raiser on a part-time basis. We are already seeing the benefits of this decision.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

Although we have eaten into our reserves in 23/24, the trustees consider that the reserves carried forward are 

5 



**Root & Branch Westmill** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

sufficient to enable the charity to continue to pursue its objectives. (We aim to keep a minimum of six months' running costs in reserves.) We rely on grants and donations which cannot be guaranteed and require constant fundraising activity, and appropriate monitoring and reporting. 

Our Participants typically attend for up to three years (although this will gradually change to two years) and, given their vulnerability, we wish to protect them from any reduction in support arising from short-term financial constraints. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document** 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 28 June 2011 and registered as a charity on 9 August 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. 

In practice the activities are a continuation of the work begun in 2001 under the former charitable trust of the same name (charity 1088493). 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
