counselling and fundrdising activities. Our main area of student placements and volunteering is counselling in our young
peoples and adult counselling projects. Their contribution towards the service helps us to over-perform on tsrgets, reduce
waiting lists and provide a safe, supportive. learning environment in which counsellors can flourish.
Fundraising activitles and income generation
Washington Mind abide by the fundraising code of practice. All fLtnding Is received to meet the objectives of the service. Our
main source of tncome is gt7nt funding. However we do have an artive prtsence in the ¢ommunlty which enables us to
receive donations from those people who have been fundrnising on our behalf. The charity does not make any material
expendi￿re to raise income and has no plans to do so in the future.
Financial Revi¢w
Fln4n¢lal Posltlon
Washington Mind have implemented robust financial monitoring systems to ensure that the charity's ￿sOurceS continue to
be properly managed and safeguarded. Durlng the year our income in(￿ased to £984,851 (2024 £870,191, an increase of
13% however our cost Increased by 4.4%. to £1,025,261 12024 £981,689}.
Our restrtcted fijnds decreased thls year.
The trustees conslder that our unrestrlcted current asset resources of £225,708 (2Q24 £79,916), while excludlng
unrestricted c￿dItorS at the 31st March 2025 and at the date of signing our accounts are Sufficient to meet current ongoing
operatitsnal tsbligations.
Reserves Pollcy
The management board has continued to pay scrutlny to the cha￿ty'S requirements for reseNes. The year has been
another successful one for Washington Mind, but we appreclate that the threat of difficult tirnes c¢ntinues to lie ahead due
to the many changing circumstance5 Out of our control, including the global financial difficulties from the impact of the
pandemic and continuing lockdown restrictions. This however doe5 not change our view on the amounts fte￿sary to fvnd
core activities whlch have increased over the last year. We aim to hold undeslgnated reserves of btheen 3 and 6 months
core costs.
Undesignated unrestricted reseryes are £92,33612024 £53,808). The% are held to enable Washington Mind to fvnd its core
team and running casts in the short term, as well as day-to-day runnlng costs, outside of covered prolert costs.
The trustees are satlsfied that the current reseryes are within the taryet range set but Continue to monittyr the posltion
closely.
Golng Concern
After making appropriate enquirie5. the trustee5 have a reasonable expectatlon that the charlty has adequate resources to
continue in operational existen￿ for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern ba515
in preparing the financial 5tsternents.
