Annual Report: 2023 – 2024
Disseminating information about the wellbeing and other benefits of therapeutic cultural Engagement.
Improving equal opportunities for therapeutic cultural engagement.
Such charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable according to the laws of England and Wales as the Trustees may from time to time determine.
SUMMARY OF OUR MAIN ACTIVITIES
The Restoration Trust is a charity that works in partnership with heritage, arts and health and social care organisations to offer culture therapy to people who live with mental health challenges.
Culture Therapy uses heritage and creativity to improve people’s mental health without relying on mental health services. Our projects explore heritage through walks, excavations, discussions, behind-the-scenes tours, individual research, music, drama, storytelling and art.
Connection roots us in a community that’s bigger than ourselves. Belonging, friendship, asylum… all words which describe a place of safety for those who seek or need it. Dr Hills (Norfolk County Asylum Medical Superintendent, 1861-87) cared about people and saw them as individuals. Real people, with real symptoms and real stories. His casebook, now in the Norfolk Record Office, informs the way we work.
The challenge for mental health today is that, while knowledge has expanded, bed accessibility and treatment options haven’t. We’re committed to changing that, and delivering pro-active support where people live because weaving partnerships and groups into new communities has a long-term impact on people and places.
Engaging with creativity and heritage involves our whole selves: mind, body and spirit. What if all heritage assets could be used like this? To help people feel less like patients, and more like valued members of society? To help people get wrapped up in a new story, and to illuminate the joy of shared heritage to those who feel alone. Culture therapy makes that possible.
Our projects are high quality experiences that are safe for people with complex mental health issues. But that doesn’t mean they are exceptionally expensive. It costs around £30 per hour for one person to attend a Restoration Trust session. This compares to one 9-minute visit to a GP at £37, one NHS psychological therapy session at £95 per hour and one day on a mental health ward at £500+.

Annual Report: 2023 – 2024
Statement confirming that the Trustees have had regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit
The Trustees are satisfied that we meet Test B of the Charities Exception under the Equality Act, and the Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities they should undertake. Our governing document restricts benefits to people with a shared protected characteristic, being mental ill health, which is a disability. The restriction can be justified as being a fair, balanced and reasonably necessary way of carrying out a legitimate aim, which is to improve people's mental health by therapeutic cultural engagement.
Evidence on cultural engagement for people with mental ill health suggests that:
-
well managed cultural engagement improves people's mental health;
-
people with mental ill health are disproportionately excluded from heritage, arts and culture
-
research into the wellbeing and health benefits of projects engaging people with mental
-
ill health in heritage, arts and culture is needed for the development of cultural and health policy and practice
-
discrimination against people with mental ill health is reduced by news and information
about creative projects which support prevention, treatment and recovery.
Contributions by volunteers
Volunteers play an essential part in achieving our purposes, by helping to organise and deliver
projects. They are people who have participated in our projects, or who want to gain culture therapy experience. In 2023/24 we worked with 22 volunteers, who supported projects and our core activities, including through membership of our Expert Advisory Board.

PEOPLE
Staff
The Director Laura Drysdale managed the organisation, being paid through restricted grant and project funds.
We employed a Heritage Linkworker (Sophie Couling) up to December 2023
Other staff are self-employed contractors/freelancers, whom we contract to lead projects, deliver sessions, facilitated and manage projects and events.
The Scaling Up Change Minds Project Officer is employed on our behalf by Norfolk County Council (Norfolk Record Office) We have a self-employed bookkeeper, PA and HR consultant.
Our Board and project boards include people with lived experience of serious mental health problems, people who are members of NHS Patient Public Involvement groups, and people who have been members of our projects. Our Expert Advisory Board is made up of 13 people who are or have been members of our projects. We encourage participants to use their skills as contractors or volunteers for the Restoration Trust, and we reward people appropriately for their time.
POLICY
The ongoing programme of policy development led by Trustees created a reformatted and updated Risk Register and Diversity policy with implementation plan.
FINANCE
Principal sources of funds
Our income is largely restricted funding, raised for projects. We also receive income from consultancy on projects led by other partners. Our unrestricted funds incorporate an overhead charge for delivering projects, which the Trustees have agreed should aim to be at least 12% of project costs.
5
Annual Report: 2023 – 2024
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
The Trustees agree that we will raise funds by the following means:
-
grants from charitable trusts, research funders and lottery distributors.
-
donations.
-
fundraising activities and events.
-
contributions in kind from partner and supporting organisations.
-
facilitation fees.
• the sale of licenses for use of our good practice model; training in use of our good practice model; research and dissemination events relating to our purposes; sale of tickets for entry to exhibitions relating to our projects; sale of artworks and books produced by our projects.
- any other income generating activity approved by our Trustees.
Reserves policy
The Board considered the level of reserves that is prudent for the Restoration Trust to have at its first meeting and now does so annually. Our Reserves and Risk Management is based on what we need to cover current liabilities, which are small, given that we do not employ staff except on contracts covered by restricted funds. We anticipate that the bulk of the Restoration Trust’s funds will be restricted; that its assets will be functional. It will accrue sufficient reserves to cover emergency expenditure and liabilities for at least 1 but not more than 3 months. It will not accrue excess reserves. We hold a £500 wind-up fund.
RISK
Principal risks facing the charity
We believe that the Restoration Trust's purposes do not pose a risk of detriment or harm. However, we have identified risks of detriment or harm that could result from the way we carry out our purposes. We consider that the benefits of our purposes and related activities outweigh the risks of detriment or harm to our beneficiaries or the public at large. Detriment or harm to participants could be caused by:
• failure of staff (in this and all the following instances staff include consultants and researchers) and volunteers to observe and alert others to a deterioration in someone's health and wellbeing.
-
failure of staff and volunteers to protect a participant from detriment or harm by other participants.
-
failure to identify and report abuse to or by a participant.
-
failure to prevent abuse by staff or volunteers working on a project.
-
failure to conform to good health and safety practice.
-
failure to conform to appropriate confidentiality requirements.
-
failure to conform to ethical research practice.
6
Annual Report: 2023 – 2024
-
failure to conform to excellent standards of staff, project and financial management.
-
failure to operate in a Covid-Secure manner.
Detriment or harm to staff and volunteers could be caused by:
-
harmful actions by participants in a Restoration Trust project.
-
failure of others involved in the project to protect staff or volunteers.
-
failure to observe and alert others to an escalation in abuse by participants.
-
failure to identify and record abuse to staff and volunteers.
-
failure to conform to good health and safety practice.
-
failure to conform to appropriate confidentiality requirements.
-
failure to conform to ethical research practice.
-
failure to conform to excellent staff, project and financial management.
-
failure to operate in a Covid-Secure manner.
Financial, operational and reputational risks are:
-
financial damage to Trustees, partners and funders by failure to implement an effective financial management policy and practices.
-
reputational damage to staff, volunteers, Trustees, partners and funders by any significant incident of harm connected to a Restoration Trust project.
• financial, operational and reputational damage to the organisation by failure to manage conflict of interest effectively.
We minimise the detriment or harm from the above by:
-
ensuring that good practice in working with vulnerable people is integral to project plans and operations.
-
appropriate training for staff and volunteers involved with our projects.
-
routine operational monitoring of our performance in respect of detriment or harm.
-
careful record keeping.
-
excellent staff, project and financial management.
-
training for Trustees in risk management in the context of our purposes and beneficiaries.
-
Regular review of risks and risk management by Trustees.
Policies and practice
We have the following policies in place to manage the risk of detriment or harm: Safeguarding vulnerable adults’ policy; safeguarding young people policy; volunteer policy; data protection; privacy; disclosure of information policy; health and safety policy; equality, inclusion and diversity policy; financial management and controls policy; reserves and risk management policy; conflict of interest policy. We maintain and annually review a corporate risk register, and each project has its own risk register. All registers include assessment of Covid-19 risks.
