## **Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) for the year ended 31 March 2025**
The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2025 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 Co-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 Co-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 affected 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 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 NHS Trust (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. 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.

## **Activities and achievements (continued)**
## **Community Enterprise Activity**
- Brunsmeer Awareness FC – includes mental health friendly football training sessions for both men and women, and a football league run in partnership with Sheffield and Hallam FA. We had 78 attendees over the year.
_“I have been playing on Wednesday nights for a few years now and while things have been tough for me, having that space to go to and having such lovely ladies to play footie with is a way keeps me going.”_
- CAST – includes a weekly painting and drawing session; weekly creative writing session, a monthly artist gathering and an exhibition showcasing work. Group sessions had an annual attendance of 125 people. The exhibition was under the theme Better Connected and received over 30 submissions.
- _“Some times have been harder than others due to personality/ mental health clashes, but 99% of the time, I have really enjoyed myself. I always say that Sheffield Flourish Art group has saved my life and my relationship. Life is enjoyable now.”_
- Connected Worlds – provides storytelling and art-based courses to connect people and provide a creative space for them to tell their stories of everyday life. 15 people took part in a course focused on spirituality and mental health.
_“What a privilege it has been to be part of it. Incredible luxury… It has helped me process the stuff I’ve been growing through in terms of healing and general dealing with life. I’ve been so busy and hit burnout but our meetings gave me so much strength and nourishment.”_
- 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. 181 people took part in sessions including codesign groups on storytelling using virtual reality, developing the Safe2Share inpatient feedback tool and financial inclusion workshops.
- _“Co-production- wonderful group- supportive and educational.”_
- Oasis – includes a weekly gardening for wellbeing session and a contract gardening service. 124 people attended the Oasis gardening wellbeing session. We made the sad decision to cease operating the contract gardening service as the model was not working in terms of resources spent versus the benefits delivered for the charity.

- Open Door Music – includes a weekly jamming session, music production group, improvisation group (aimed at beginners) and fortnightly singing group. We had an annual attendance of 122 participants.
- _“My experience to start off with has been nervous, though after a few weeks, I have felt more comfortable and more positive in coming to the groups.”_
## **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:
- We were awarded a SHSC Shine Award in recognition of being a key partner in user voices in mental health care.
- Continuing to support the delivery and evaluation of the Patience and Carer Race Equity Framework (PCREF) alongside SHSC, SACMHA and the University of Sheffield.
- Supporting with coproduction in research in areas such as digital inclusion, storytelling and community recovery.
- Working with Public Health on developing peri-natal resources and suicide safety plans.
- Working with the ICB to run a campaign about keeping well in winter
- We have continued to work closely with VCS partners across the city, particularly in solidarity following the race riots that were witnessed across the country.

## **Future plans for 2025-2026:**
## Carer Peer Support Worker
Through funding from the Synergy Alliance we will be hosting a new role: Carer Peer Support Worker. The role will be working with individuals who are carers for people who are receiving crisis and urgent mental health services or who have been admitted onto the inpatient wards. The is a brand-new post, providing an opportunity for someone to utilise their lived experience as a carer to influence and codesign a new way of supporting carers in collaboration with colleagues from both the NHS and voluntary sector.
## Mental Health Passports
Through our coproduction work, we heard very strongly from people with lived experience of mental health, that they found it frustrating to continuously have to retell their mental health history to professionals. We will be working with partners from the NHS, VCS and a lived experience advisory group to codesign a solution to this frustration through a mental health passport tool.
## Volunteering Processes
We will be aligning and coordinating volunteer processes between Sheffield Flourish and SHSC. This will include the new volunteering role developments, recruitment and induction processes, training and supervision.
## **Reserves policy**
Free reserves at 31 March 2025 were £97,071 (2024: £101,616)
The directors have set a reserves target of £93,580 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 2025-26.

## **Directors’ report (incorporating the Trustees’ annual report) for the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the 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 charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.
## **Small company provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The directors declare that they have approved the directors' annual report above on and signed on behalf of the directors:

## **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 2025.
## **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 2025**
## **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.

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**
