## **Legal and administrative information for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the 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) issued in October 2019. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Sheffield Flourish was incorporated on 17th March 2012 and gained charitable status on 18 May 2012.  Its Memorandum and Articles of Association govern it. Its legal status is that of a company limited by guarantee (Company number 07980332) and a registered charity (Charity number 1147334). The company changed its name from Recovery Enterprises on 11 October 2019. 

It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1. 

Overall management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustee Directors who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the memorandum and articles of association. Day to day project activity is carried out by paid staff and volunteers. 

Before any person is accepted onto the Sheffield Flourish Board, they will meet with the Chair and/or Vice-chair to discuss what is involved. The prospective trustee should be asked to outline what skills and abilities they would bring to their work on the Board. The Chair or Vice-chair will obtain information on the prospective Trustee's skills/experience and one or two references regarding their character. The prospective Trustees may be asked to attend a Board meeting before they commit to joining. The Board will discuss each candidate in their absence before formally inviting them to join. New Trustees are co-opted at any time, but (as per Sheffield Flourish’s articles of association) must stand for re-election with the other trustees at the next annual general meeting. New Trustees, and those re-elected to the Board following an annual general meeting or extraordinary general meeting, sign a declaration form to confirm that they have not been disqualified from serving as Board members. 

## **Objectives, activities and public benefit** 

Sheffield Flourish supports people living with or effected by mental ill health to use their skills, ideas and talents to build the lives they wish to lead, through creative, mental-health friendly activities, coproduction and digital tools. We run seven open-access, free community enterprises offering involvement in writing, horticulture, theatre, art, music and football. All our activities have been developed using coproduction, and participants are heavily involved in the design and delivery.  On the digital side, we run four websites. The Sheffield Flourish hub enables peers to connect and publish stories of personal mental health experience, over 90% of the content is user generated. The Sheffield Mental Health Guide is an online directory featuring over 300 services that support mental health activities in the city. We oversee the Sheffield Suicide Support and Prevention resource, codesigned with people affected by suicide, and My Toolkit, a co-produced digital platform that helps people to plan and manage their mental health care online.  We grew out of Sheffield Health and Social Care (SHSC) back in 2012 and continue to act as a critical friend, working closely with them around user involvement and engagement, particularly on the mental health wards. This work includes hosting SHSC's Head of Engagement, who oversees the Trust's User Involvement and Engagement Strategy and manages the strategy’s delivery team. We also support the wider health system to ensure user voices are included in service redesign and act as a main conduit for mental health information to the public.

In planning the objectives and activities the directors have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

## **Activities and achievements (continued)** 

## **Community Enterprise Activity**

This year also saw the launch of an anthology of poems: Tunes of Enchantment. 

- _“The staff were very welcoming and understanding. They showed kindness and compassion. The groups were great as you could create ‘works’ which feel productive and therapeutic.  It was great interacting with other service users over our mental health issues, which were also therapeutic.”_ 

- Learning Space – provides educational sessions and learning opportunities using the values and tools of coproduction and codesign. A key focus is getting lived experience voices into the policies and activities of the mental health system. 126 people took part in sessions including codesign of Places of Safety, supporting SHSC’s Community Mental Health Transformation Programme and leadership sessions with Sheffield University.

## **Supporting the Health System** 

Working with partners, community organisations and under-represented groups, we were able to open conversations on the gaps, challenges and barriers of inclusive mental health support. This included:

## **Legal and administrative information for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Annual Community Survey** 

We conducted two different survey’s this year, looking at our impact but with a particular focus on reviewing our community groups and looking at any gaps in what people might want. 

50 people completed our annual community survey and 18 staff from SHSC completed our activity feedback survey. 

- The most likely route into Flourish continues to be through SHSC’s mental health team (40%) or friends/family (32%) 

- 60% have a mental health diagnosis 

- 72% feel their mental health has improved because of their involvement with Flourish. 

- 85% feel more connected to a community or that their social network had grown as a result of Flourish 

- 60% feel they have developed new skills or knowledge through Flourish 

- 88% feel more confident about making informed decisions about their mental health through their involvement with Flourish. 

- The most popular activity according to our attendance figures is CAST art group with 30% of overall attendance. 

- CAST was also the group that SHSC staff mostly referred into, alongside Open Door Music and Brunsmeer Awareness. 

- The Sheffield Flourish website and Facebook page was the most popular digital space for community members to find information about Flourish. 

- For SHSC staff, the Sheffield Mental Health Guide was the most utilised of our digital tools – 78% confirmed they used it. 

## **Future plans** 

For 2024-2025: 

## Sheffield Mental Health Guide Paper Version 

We will be launching a new paper version of the Mental Health Guide during 2024/25 featuring both adult and children/young people information. This will be a condensed version of the website, with QR codes for people to scan that take them to the page with in-depth information of each service. There will be 10k copies of the paper version printed initially, with a plan to distribute to partners and key points across the city. 

## Review of our Groups and Enterprises 

We will be using the findings from the surveys to do a full review of the groups we offer, identifying any gaps and developing new groups where appropriate. We will also be working alongside SHSC to reinforce referral pathways, communication of our offer and opportunities for collaborating. 

## New Technologies 

We will continue to be at the forefront of how digital tools can enhance and support our work, not only in mental health but also as a charity. This will include working in partnership with Sheffield University and Human Digital on a virtual reality project, and developing our own AI strategy that identifies the risks and rewards of AI. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Free reserves at 31 March 2024 were £101,616 (2023: £66,189) 

The directors have set a reserves target of £48,292 for closure costs of 3 months to ensure the sustainability of our partnership organisations and the proper and orderly closure of the organisation including staff redundancy provision. 

Excess reserves will be used for the completion of existing projects and supporting the core service of Sheffield Flourish in 2024-25.

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees of Sheffield Flourish (“the Company”)** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **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 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: 

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 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.

**Sheffield Flourish** 

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **(a) General** 

Sheffield Flourish is a charitable company in the United Kingdom limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and with the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

Sheffield Flourish meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £. 

## **(b) Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

Income from services provided is included in the year in which the service took place. 

Bank interest is recognised as income when it is credited to the bank statement. All bank interest is treated as unrestricted income to the General Fund. 

## **(c) Expenditure and liabilities** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **(d) Donated goods and services** 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## **(e) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets at the following annual rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value, on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives: 

Vehicles 

5 years 

All items of capital expenditure below £500 are written off as incurred. 

## **(e) Debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

**Sheffield Flourish** 

## **Notes to the Accounts - continued for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting Policies - continued** 

## **(f) Creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

## **(g) 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 their settlement value. 

## **(h) Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **(i) Defined contribution pension scheme** 

The charity contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of the employees. The pension costs charged against net incoming resources are the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period in accordance with FRS102. 

## **(j) Leases** 

Rental payable and receivable under operation leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **(k) Taxation** 

As a charity, the organisation is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within the available tax exemptions to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the charity. 

## **(l) Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the funder. 

## **(m)Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that the charity will continue to operate for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. Not all funding streams are secure this far in advance however the trustees will develop a plan of action to be taken to reduce costs, should the required income not be secured.
