## **Introduction….  From the Chair** 

As always, the year 2022/23 was an extremely busy and challenging one. As has become customary, however, everyone at Rotherham and Barnsley Mind has contributed to another successful year. 

All staff (front line and back office), placement students, and volunteers deserve tremendous thanks and appreciation for their ongoing commitment and hard work. I must also thank my fellow trustees for their support and dedication. The efforts of all have helped us to consolidate our position as a go-to provider of mental health support services. 

You will find much information in the pages that follow to illustrate the range of services we provide to and for the residents and businesses of the Rotherham and Barnsley areas. I will only draw your attention to a few of these here. 


Income from our two main traditional areas of work, Children and Young People’s Services in schools and Counselling and related services, continued to grow in 2022/23, as did new and continuing work with Barnsley and Rotherham Colleges. 

In April 2022 we began delivering our COPE project, funded to the tune of £317K over 3 years by the National Lottery Community Fund, which aims to address the increase in demand for mental health support arising from the pandemic. 

During the year, we were extremely fortunate to receive legacies totaling over £90K from previous service users of the charity. Together with the proceeds of fundraising activities and general donations, legacy funding will be invested in a range of targeted services provided to local communities. 

At the end of 2022, following discussion with Mind Retail (the trading arm of Mind) the Board decided to co-invest in establishing new Mind shops in Dinnington and Barnsley. Contributing one third of the cost of establishing and fitting out the shop will entitle Rotherham and Barnsley Mind to a one third share of any profit after the deduction of the running costs of the shop. The Dinnington Mind shop opened at the end of March 2023 and is doing good business. A lease has still to be taken out on shop premises in Barnsley. 

During the year improvements were made to our web site and presence on social media, alongside our online shop, where visitors are able to purchase from a selection of branded merchandise.  This will be a first for a Local Mind. 

Mark Bridges joined us as Services and Development Manager in February 2022 and has provided much needed support to our CEO, Rachel Siddall. Mark has been extremely successful in helping us to continue the diversification of our income streams, develop and promote existing and new services and ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery. Rachel and Mark have worked hard to ensure that we develop a staffing structure that meets our needs and will enable us to grow and achieve our objectives. 

As the accounts demonstrate and the Treasurer’s Report confirms, financially we have had another very successful year and have a surplus of some £80K to invest in the organisation to ensure its ongoing growth and development.

## **Introduction….  From the Chair continued…** 

That there is a serious growth in demand for mental health support which is outstripping the NHS’s capacity has long been accepted by all bodies active in the mental health sector, including the government. 

It was extremely encouraging, therefore, that in April 2022 Health Secretary Sajid Javid launched a consultation for a 10-year cross-government mental health plan. The strategy would “form part of the government’s wider commitments to ‘build back fairer’ after the pandemic, working towards putting mental health on a level footing with physical health, and form a key part of the commitments to address health disparities across the country and to improve the mental wellbeing of the nation by 2030.” 

Mind and the whole mental health sector have been calling for a more joined-up approach to mental health across Government for years. A wealth of evidence was presented to Government showing that tackling the ‘social determinants’ of mental health – poverty, discrimination, employment, education, housing, transport, access to green space, etc. – can prevent people from becoming unwell in the first place and support people with a mental health problem to live well. 

At the end of January 2023, it was announced that the government’s standalone mental health plan was being scrapped and absorbed into a much broader strategy covering six health conditions and mainly focused on the next two years, ahead of the next general election. The Government announced that it would be publishing a Major Conditions Strategy, setting out the action it would take on cancers, cardio-vascular disease, chronic respiratory diseases, dementia, musculoskeletal conditions – and mental health. 

The new Health Secretary, Steve Barclay, asked for evidence to develop a ‘major conditions strategy’ by 12 July 2023.  An interim report on the strategy was published on 14 August, with the final strategy expected to be published in early 2024. 

Three prime ministers, three changes of Secretary of State for Health and three mental health ministers since the initial call for a 10-year cross-government mental health plan, we are really no further forward. 

No wonder many doubt the Government’s commitment to mental health. 

Despite the whims, changing ideologies and levels of commitment to mental health of those in power, we will continue, whenever possible, to invest in our staff and improve the quality and range of services we provide to enable us to respond to and cope with the increased demand for them. Our success in meeting that demand will continue to be dependent upon our ability to identify and access appropriate sources of funding, including grants and contracts, to support service delivery and attract fee-paying individual and corporate clients. 

As always, our aim is to continue to deliver timely, appropriate, and effective mental health support to members of the community who need it. Colin Mace

## **Chief Executive’s Report** 

Following the challenges of previous years, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic there hasn’t been a single person that was not or does not continue to be affected by this in some way or another, whether it be through physical illness, grief and loss, isolation, or financial worries. All of us have felt the effects of uncertainty and worry. 

Through hard work and determination Rotherham and Barnsley Mind continues to thrive with optimism and hope and, despite the stresses, strains, and hardships, we know now more than ever our services are needed. I have had pride and pleasure of working alongside our team of Staff, Trustees, Students and Volunteers and witnessed them adapt and pull together to ensure that our communities are supported despite their own individual struggles. 

## _**I would like to take the time to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of them for their continued efforts in the fight for better mental health.**_ 

More widely, we have seen an increasing awareness of mental wellbeing, and there is more recognition that mental health difficulties exist in all of us, and not just certain people or communities and our work has become more important than ever. We have expanded our work with the successful outcome of the Supported Self-Help model which will allow us to support those communities further afield and we have seen a huge growth in the work we are doing around the menopause and our efforts to become an accredited menopause friendly organisation. 

There is still a way to go but we are seeing more and more people seeking help and we need to focus our efforts not just on therapeutic support but on preventative measures and interventions through training, awareness, and breaking stigma’s. This leads me to our amazing supporters and the continued generosity of donations and legacy gifts that we have received over the last 12 months. These, in addition to our funders, commissioners, delivery partners and sign posters have all been an integral part of why we have been able to continue to support those in our communities. 

## **Overall outcomes and feedback across our adult and counselling services** 

9,201 sessions were delivered throughout this period and the feedback and impact is evidenced below.

## **Operations Report** 

In early 2022 we were approached by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council (RMBC) requesting support with a co-produced project. During this period we undertook a series of engagement with our service users through group sessions and a survey to gather feedback on Rotherham residents’ views with respect to the mental health provision and in particular the level of services to support people living independently. This work also included feedback of our own colleagues lived experience and their level of knowledge from supporting people living in Rotherham. 

The co-production work was promoted as follows: 



Mental Health Support Services in Rotherham – have your say **…** We asked the residents of Rotherham to help shape the future of mental health support services in Rotherham. We ~~have p~~ artnered with Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council to gather the thoughts of local people who have used our services to gain their views on the support received in addition to that provided by Rotherham and Barnsley Mind. 

We reached over 150 service users further cementing our relationship in our local community and with RMBC. Emerging feedback highlighted three recurring themes. 

- Lack of awareness of services available 

- Challenges to access services with timescales to access support being a prevalent theme 

- Where to access information and support services available to them. 

Completion of this work supported RMBC’s drive to improve services based on feedback from people living in our communities and we were proud to support this through our established connections. 

## Awareness 

Service users feel that there is a lack of awareness of support services that are available to them and this is particularly relevant following a stay in hospital or when supporting someone living independently. 

Attendees talked about a lack of information that is available to know where to turn in a time of need and an over reliance on their GP for support and referrals. 

Most commonly service users are heavily reliant on their family or friends for day to day help with their needs. 

## Access 

Many service users have challenges with accessing services or support networks due to a lack of digital capability and are therefore unfamiliar with accessing support through websites or don’t have equipment to access support networks. 

Timescales and backlogs result in people not being able to access the support they need in a timely fashion.  Feedback from all groups commented that time delays were the largest contributor to individuals’ mental health challenges. 

## Information 

People expressed their lack of knowledge and that much of their information comes from word of mouth and sharing of experiences from friends, family, and neighbours. 

Many service users have challenges accessing information and don’t know where to go for support. 

It was thought that many services work in isolation and there is a need for a more joined up approach to better connect people to the help they need through a variety of support networks. 

Throughout the year we have continued to gather and monitor colleague and client feedback. We are committed to the wellbeing of our colleagues and have engaged in regular meetings and colleague 

surveys to shape support for our team. We have used this feedback to develop our own internal and external communications which has seen a growth in our social media presence and introduction of monthly staff communications to build engagement and awareness.

## **Delivery of services** 

A key highlight has been our work to further develop our relationship with National Mind. We have seen this develop by securing funding opportunities to demonstrate our expertise in delivery. We have further amplified the National Mind and EFL partnership through legacy funding that has enabled us to deliver training for mental health first aid and suicide prevention first aid for the staff of  Rotherham United, Barnsley and Huddersfield Town football clubs and have provided mental health hubs for match day supporters. 

Additionally, we secured funding for the delivery of National Minds partnership with the Anna Freud Centre and have commenced remote delivery of Schools and Colleges Early Support Services resulting in supporting children, young people and their families with mentoring sessions via   digital means. 

In March 2023 we partnered with Mind Retail and co-invested in the opening of a new shop in Dinnington. This will further enable us to build local awareness of our services whilst supporting National Mind to grow the retail operations. As we move into the new financial year we will be working with National Mind to further develop this with co-investment in a new Barnsley shop. 

We also entered the second year of our Thriving Communities project funded by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC).  This initiative directly supports people facing loneliness and isolation across the boroughs of Barnsley. Our work has seen us establish regular group sessions that are well attended, offering supportive sessions and collaboration with Reds in the Community as a partner in the programme. Our work has enabled us to reach out in the Barnsley Boroughs taking our support through events and opportunities to reach isolated people and it has seen us develop working partnerships with local organisations and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders in BMBC. 

Funding through DWP and lead partner Sheffield Futures has resulted in Rotherham and Barnsley Mind undertaking a key role with the Feel Well to Work Well programme for young people. This is aimed at supporting people into work or education and our role has been to support with mental health and counselling services to better equip individuals to take positive steps forward with their lives and potential careers. We have built credible working relationships with key referral partners in Big Ambitions and Rotherham United Football Club who have used our services to support their clients to deliver better outcomes for young people.

**Counselling Service** 

As mentioned in last year’s report we were fortunate enough to be awarded 3 years funding under ‘ **The COPE Project’** via the Big Lottery. In its 2[nd] year has already commissioned us to support over **160** local people with free 1-1 counselling and has also enabled us to offer therapeutic interventions to couples and families. 

The outcomes achieved already with this funding has been impactful. 

We record client outcomes by completing **The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale** (WEMWBS) these questions are asked to all clients at the start of intervention and at the end. 

## **WEMWBS Average Outcome Scores (Score 1 – 5)** 

- **1 = None of the time, 2 = Rarely, 3 = Some of the time, 4 = Often, 5 = All of the time** 


**Overall an average of 80% of clients saw an increase in their Wellbeing scores after intervention**

**Some feedback comments from clients who accessed this service.** 

_**“I feel I have more tools to help me move forwards, I have been able to speak openly about anything and not felt judged, you have listened to me and said my words back to me and I could then understand myself better and find other positive solutions for how I was feeling. It has been amazing I have had counselling with Mind twice now and both times have helped me. My sessions with you have been life changing.”**_ 

_**“I felt a connection with the counsellor where I felt I could be honest and say what I needed to say without feeling embarrassed. I could talk about my emotions and felt listened to and that really helped me to make changes in my life. The full process, from having the door opened and being greeted by the reception staff felt very welcoming, it really made me feel valued when I felt very down on myself. If I hadn't have come to Mind, I don't know where I would be. Thank you”**_ 

We also continue to provide vital support to clients referred through the **Rotherham Social Prescribing Service** managed by Voluntary Action Rotherham. We are proud to say that this will be the seventh successive year of funding allowing us to continue to deliver essential therapy support to over **100** clients with long term mental and physical conditions. 


At the beginning of last year, we secured a contract with **Crossroads Care** in Rotherham, to provide therapy support for ‘unpaid’ carer’s, this was also mirrored by **Making Space** in Barnsley later in the year. 

These funded projects enabled our Counselling team to offer invaluable support to over **80** carer’s who offer selflessly to care for and support their family and loved ones. 

All our projects prove to be invaluable in giving RB Mind a presence in our communities allowing us to work in conjunction with other service providers in the local area and reducing the impact and strain on the NHS. 

We were again successful in securing another full academic year contract with **Barnsley College** this year. This contract enables our counselling team to support students 16+ with a wide variety of issues.

- _**"Time was allowed for me to work through my thoughts and I felt independent about managing my own mental health."**_ 

   - _**“I found it helped with the grounding techniques and worksheets, these have helped me manage my panic attacks.”**_

Due to the invaluable success of this service, we were approached by **Rotherham College** (RNN Group) to pilot the same provisions for their students. We received the first cohort of referrals at the end of March, and we look forward to supporting these clients. 

We are confident this working relationship will continue and hope we have the same success in securing the full academic year contract. 

**RUSH House** is another local charity in Rotherham we continue to work with. This challenging client group are being supported by both our Adult & Young Persons Counselling teams whilst building relationships with other local organisations. We are hoping this is something we will continue to do more of in the future. 

We also continue to offer bespoke specialist services including **Couples Therapy** and **Anger Management** which have both grown in demand over the past few years. 

**We asked our service users to score themselves on a scale of 1 – 10, with 1 being the** _**worst**_ **they can imagine and 10 the** _**best**_ **how they would rate their mental health before and after our support?......** 


**In 2022-2023 we delivered over 2800 therapy sessions across all our counselling projects** 

**supporting over 600 individuals.** 

**Rotherham and Barnsley Mind Annual Report 2022 - 2023**

We continue to pride ourselves on being one of the best placement providers in our local area, offering support, mentoring and regular group supervision resulting in us being inundated with counselling student placement applications each academic year. 

This year we are supporting 10 counselling students who are already fitting in with our ethos and gaining valuable experience to enable them to become fantastic therapists. We are fortunate enough that some placements stay on with us post qualification to continue to gain experience which enhances the value to the organisation. 

At this point I feel it’s important to give a massive shout out to the whole counselling team and supporting staff who, as always continue to offer a high-quality service to our clients, and we wouldn’t be able to deliver the impeccable service without them. 

## **Workplace Counselling Service Report 2022-2023** 

Alongside our counselling service projects we offer ‘Workplace Counselling’ this service is a bought in service by companies to support employees to access counselling either remotely or onsite to prevent work related stress and support good mental health within the workplace. 

We have worked with companies which include Asos (GXO Logistics) & New York Bakery. 

This year we delivered over **500** sessions supporting over **100** employees. 

Some feedback comments received from employees who accessed this service were: 

**“I was able to build up a rapport and trust with my counsellor. She picked up on things I hadn't thought of before, helping me put 2 and 2 together. It gave me a new perspective on my situation and was like a breath of fresh air. I am really glad that counselling was available by phone. I know that on some of my lowest days I would not have been able to make it into the office so having counselling on the phone has meant I have been able to access it regularly which has helped”** 

**“I don't think that there's much that needs to change the way things are run. All of the staff I've seen when coming into the building have been polite and very respectful to me so I don't think there is anyway to improve. Just keep up the great work that you all do.”** 

**“Having been offered this via work was very helpful not sure I would have asked for help if it was not available at work”**

## **Adult Services** 

## **Thriving Communities Project** 

Our Thriving Communities Project has continued to be delivered in the local communities of Barnsley to meet the needs of residents experiencing loneliness and isolation. All individuals referred into the service receive a ‘needs-led’ assessment, to ensure that beneficiaries are placed at the center of what we do. We work together to identify areas of challenge and strength and reflect upon current aims and goals. Creating a co-produced action plan to work towards. 

The project supports in the following ways: 

## **1:1 Support** 

Delivered by qualified staff in person or by telephone with the aim to build confidence in move towards group participation. Allowing individuals to explore reasons behind their own challenges of loneliness. 

## **Befriending support** 

Volunteer led, which we are extremely proud of and who give their time selflessly to those who benefit. Our volunteer befrienders reach out to those in our communities that don’t require as much direct support, providing a friendly listening ear. 

## **Groups** 

A selection of needs led groups to support those that have already received one to one or befriending support and now have the confidence to attend in person. 


Our passion to continue developing local partnerships has shone through in the collaborative work we do. 

We are determined that wherever possible we will endeavor to work with other organisations to ensure that our activities to reduce loneliness provide the best possible resources for our communities. 

We will continue to increase the number of partners we work with in order to fulfil this important agenda and we have already started to increase our partner directory for the coming year.

## **Thriving Communities Case Study** 

Dave lives alone after the break-up of his marriage, he was homeless and sofa surfing for a while until he secured sheltered accommodation through the local council. He is 57 years old but his neighbours are all elderly. 

Dave has multiple physical health conditions and had a heart attack, he contracted covid through the pandemic and has since been diagnosed with long covid leaving him unable to work. He has been struggling financially, mentally, and emotionally since. Apart from seeing his daughter he very rarely has any social interaction and rarely leaves the house. 

## **Aims and Objectives from his initial assessment:** 

- Befriending and build a trusting relationship. 

- Signpost to agencies and organisations who can help with debt and benefits. 

- Support to achieve small goals designed to improve day to day physical and mental health. 

## **Outcome:** 

Measurements show an ongoing narrative arc, with positive user feedback, and a request to extend the befriending support provided. We can also evidence improvements in Dave’s mental health through the outcomes star. 

## **Key Learning:** 

- Alleviation of Daves immediate social isolation and loneliness by building a trusting relationship with him allowing him to express his fears and aspirations. 

- Signposting and referrals into partner organisations to support with more complex and specific needs.

## **Children and Young People’s Service** 

What another fantastic year for the CYPS team. We have continued to grow, not just the size of our team but in the number of different 

projects and how we deliver these. 


## **Feel Well to Work Well** 

The feel-well-to-work-well project was mobilized quickly and after a slow start we started receiving referrals from Big Ambitions in Barnsley and Rotherham United community trust. We have an established relationship with RUFCT trust but the partnership through this project amplified the relationship and has proved to be a successful and productive one. 

We hadn’t previously worked in partnership with Big Ambitions and this has helped us grow  and build a mutual understanding of each of our services and how they complement each other. We have built some great relationships with staff from both these organisations which we aim to continue beyond the life of the project. 

The success of this project has produced some great outcomes and working with a slightly older age group has allowed us to showcase the skills within the team to make a real difference in young people’s lives and their journey into further education or employment. It has allowed us to deliver sessions with a specific focus. 


## **Smiles for Miles** 

The smiles for miles project delivered in partnership with the children and young people’s consortium and funded through the Big Lottery has gone from strength to strength, this is the second year of the project and seen some really positive results grown from user need sessions and group work. 

The project has allowed us to build relationships with new partners such as Camhs, Rotherham Opportunity College and Early Help. The work delivered has also impacted on the demand for our private therapy sessions. 

Working in partnership with other charities and organisations has been great, the relationships have been built on trust and have provided us with additional opportunities to work together in other areas.

## **The CYPS school’s project.** 

This has been another successful year providing support for young people in a school setting, throughout 2022 - 23 we have supported **738** young people and have delivered **3,774** sessions. 

New schools came on board with Darton Academy in Barnsley and The Willows in Thurcroft joineing our directory of schools. Sessions are highly sought after and the relationships and communication within the schools is really benefitting the pupils. 

## **Schools we worked with in 2022 -23.**

When we evaluate the support that we have provided we can still see the service is succeeding in its objectives. The young people feel better after receiving support from us. 

**100%** of young people find the sessions worthwhile. 

**100%** agree that they were happy with the service they received. 

**75%** said they would access the service again if needed. 

When asked to scale their mental health at the start we had **38%** said it was as low as three and at the end **38%** said it had improved to a 7.

Private therapy is still working well. This reporting year we have delivered **81** sessions to **14** young people. This is across Rotherham and Barnsley.

## **Professional Training and Workplace Wellbeing** 

## **Training** 

Our work with CAPITA unfortunately came to an end in March 2023, due to changes within their internal structure but we ended the work on a positive note knowing that throughout 22-23 we delivered various awareness sessions both face to face and online across the nation and beyond, covering topics such as resilience, having a conversation about mental health and mental health in the family unit in addition to training over **600** Mental Health Champions. 

## **MHCC (Mental Health Community Champions)** 

Our success in securing funding through National Mind has allowed us to deliver Mental Health First Aider Training to volunteers and community leaders within Rotherham, Barnsley and Wakefield. Qualifying **42** members of our communities in Mental Health First Aid holding positions of influence including pastors, teachers, midwives and community volunteers within our communities. Funding was secured for a period of 15 months and we hope to secure additional funding to continue this. 

## **NYB (New York Bakery)** 

Our work with New York Bakery continued throughout 22-23 and we are looking at innovative ways to support their associates in the workplace. 

## **EFL (English Football League)** 

Delivery on this project started in 2021-22 and has continued throughout 2022-23. Delivery was a little slow to start due to the season and project timings, we trained over 48 club staff from Barnsley FC, Rotherham United FC and Huddersfield Town FC and their foundations in both Mental Health First Aid and Suicide First Aid. Mental Health will remain as a legacy within all clubs ensuring that match day and office staff are equipped with the skills to identify and support fans, employees, and players when they or someone they know is experiencing a decline in their mental health and wellbeing. 

## **RNN Group** 

Our work with Rotherham college started in early 2022 where we delivered awareness sessions to their workforce covering menopause and andropause, despite being a new area of delivery these topics are a subject of passion for Rotherham and Barnsley Mind and throughout this time we were working towards becoming a menopause friendly employer. We had over 90 participants over all three sites, Rotherham, Dearne Valley and North Notts which were delivered both face to face and virtually. 

## **Accredited Training** 

As reported last year due to the impact of COVID-19, Mental Health First Aid England redesigned the MHFAiders course to allow it to be delivered virtually as well as in person. We have seen an uptake for this and it  allows participants to attend with a little more flexibility, it also provides us with more capacity to deliver in unsociable hours such as evenings and weekends to allow those who cannot attend during usual working hours.

## **SFA** 

In 2022 were able to fund associate SFA instructor training for three members of staff,  and this in turn enables us to provide both accredited and nonaccredited Suicide First Aid skills to individuals to allow them to identify, support and signpost individuals at risk of suicide to safety and crisis services. Feedback from participants has been extremely positive and we know that our courses stand out from the mainstream as our delivery staff all have a sound knowledge in mental health. 

## **Feedback and quotes received from one of our Mental Health First Aid Courses** 

- _**“ Not having been previously familiar with the course or how it worked, I was so glad to have taken part. Meeting others who had a similar outlook and**_ 

- _**desire  to improve both knowledge and practical ways to improve both personal mental health wellbeing, and extending this into the community has been very uplifting.

- _**exercises/case studies and video were helpful. I have already been recommending the course to others! Thank you for the opportunity to take part, and I hope that mental health first aid courses will continue to flourish…for the good of us all”.**_ 

   - _**“Very well planned and presented course, covering all the areas where I felt the need to learn more about mental health. The course leader was very knowledgeable and encouraged a good response from all who attended!**_

## **Fundraising Activities** 

Fundraising activities are always difficult to organise in such a small charity with limited resources and capacity, we have always prided ourselves in the level we commit to participating in community events to raise awareness. This continued to be the case following the lifting of covid restrictions and although these had still not returned to those of previous years, we have seen a small increase in the uptake of community events. 

Although donations throughout this period have decreased, we have been fortunate to have received substantial legacy gifts from those that have previously accessed our services. This is a huge testament to staff past and present and really demonstrates the amazing work that we do. 

As ever I would like to say a special thanks to all our fundraisers this year including staff and volunteers who continue to support with organised events by pledging their time to supporting Rotherham and Barnsley Mind often outside their working hours. 





## **Financial Statements and Treasurers Report** 

The last Financial Year saw Rotherham and Barnsley Mind operate successfully from a financial point of view with a surplus of £87,606. A large element of this was an increase of £66,000 in legacy gifts and donations. Taking this into account we still made a reasonable surplus, which in a time of high inflation was noteworthy. We continued to benefit from significant successful funding bids, with a marked increase in funding from National Mind. The senior management team and all staff are due considerable praise for creating the reputation we have gained with them. 

The organisation is still completing its full restructure of the management team to match our increased operational activity. 

One major change that we have made to our financial operation is to ringfence legacy pots gifted from doners to specific new projects that have been identified as a gap in the community. To ensure this is done ethically and to ensure longevity we have sought to secure match funding. 

Special thanks should be given to our finance officer Alla Raka who continues to provide excellent financial controls over our ever-complex income streams.

Freehold property is initially recognised in the financlal staternenls at historic cost. The fair value of the
freehold property, in the opinlon of the Trustees, cannot be measured ￿liablY without undue cost or effort due
lo the specialised nature of the buildings. A5 such the freehold property is accoursted for using the cost model.
The Trustees undertake regulai impaimient reviews.
