Executive Committee Report
Reserves Policy
Jigsaw has traditionally been funded through grants and contracts and there is always a degree of funding instability. It is therefore necessary to maintain a level of unrestricted funds, so that in the event of future funding not being committed the scheme can wind down its activities over a reasonable period. As is required by charity commission guidance.
The current amount to be held in reserves is 3 months running costs. The reason for this is that should Jigsaw be unable to continue its services due to lack of funding, the beneficiaries of the scheme are given some months to adjust to the situation and find other services to replace Jigsaw. The support workers would be able to build the situation into service reviews and work with the service users to seek alternative support.
This policy is reviewed annually in order that the amount of funding maintained in reserves is in proportion to the overall budget and activities.

Annual Report and Plans for the Future
As we reflect on the past year, we are proud to share Jigsaw’s progress, challenges, and impact in supporting mental health across our communities. The 2023-2024 period has been one of growth, resilience, and transformation as we continue our commitment to providing accessible and compassionate mental health support.
This year, we have made significant strides in reaching those in need. Our dedicated team of professionals, volunteers, and supporters have ensured that Jigsaw remains a vital resource for individuals struggling with mental health issues.
A total of 74 individuals engaged with our services, seeking support and guidance. Our outreach efforts expanded significantly, with notable increases in engagement from April to June, demonstrating a growing trust in our services.
Our digital platform saw a 30% increase in visits, indicating a strong demand for accessible online mental health support.
Partnering with schools, workplaces, and community organizations allowed us to extend our reach and provide more holistic support. Our volunteer network grew by 20%, strengthening our ability to provide peer-led support services.
While we have made considerable progress, we also recognize the challenges faced in the past year. Rising demand for services has outpaced our financial resources, necessitating further fundraising efforts. The need for more trained professionals and volunteers remains an ongoing priority.
As we move forward, Jigsaw is committed to expanding our helpline and crisis support services. We will strengthen partnerships to increase accessibility to mental health care. Increasing mental health literacy through community education programs remains a priority. We also aim to enhance digital resources to meet the growing demand for online support and secure sustainable funding to support our programs and services.
The past year has been a testament to Jigsaw’s resilience and unwavering dedication to mental health advocacy and support. We extend our deepest gratitude to our staff, volunteers, donors, and partners who have made our mission possible. With your continued support, we look forward to another year of empowering individuals and communities towards better mental well-being.
Together, we pick up the pieces.

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these 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 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 proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
"Jigsaw" Support Scheme meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Going concern
As with most charities we have been impacted by the Coronavirus (Covid 19). This has had an impact on our operations and staff. We have (where appropriate) utilised the grants and benefits available from the Government and are taking all the steps we can to protect the future of our business. Although the total impact is still uncertain the trustees believe that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
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.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Page 10
"Jigsaw" Support Scheme
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate 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.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its 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 areas, 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’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 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 capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax 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 £350.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
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:
Asset class
Computer equipment
Depreciation method and rate
straight line basis over 3 years
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Page 11
"Jigsaw" Support Scheme
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
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.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
