Mid Kent Annual Report ApriL 2021- March 2022
“I really enjoyed being able to tell my story without feeling judged. It helped me to know other people were feeling the same.” Feedback from Youth CBC Course.
Welcome
It is hard to truly reflect on the magnitude of the changes we have undergone in the past year.
2021-22 was the year that delivered change and uncertainty but also the year that enabled our teams to come together demonstrating strength and resilience in abundance. Covid-19 quickly moved on to an endemic, forcing us to start to live with the disease and slowly but surely start the process of getting life back to ‘normal’.
Although, many would have been elated to see the relaxation of restrictions for others this was a time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty as they learn to live with the impact of the pandemic on their mental health. Mid Kent Mind has endeavoured to remain a source of constant support to the communities in need, providing vital services to meet the changing needs of more people than ever before. Over the last year, we have supported over 2,200 people - assisting them on their journey to better mental health and wellbeing. It has never been more important for MKM to remain flexible and adept whilst continuing to be a strong advocate for the community. Working closely with our network of partner organisations has been crucial in enabling us to offer a range of services to meet all levels of need.
The past year has seen a new direction for the organisation - with new staff joining MKM, and a new
senior management team in place. This includes Henu Cummins, MKM’s new CEO. Henu has previously overseen the Queen’s award winning domestic abuse charity DAVSS, and has a strong background championing mental health and VAWG issues - something she hopes to carry forward in her new role. MKM also recruited Julia Milne - our new finance manager. Julia is a FCCA with an audit background specialising in charities. She is pleased to be part of Mid Kent Mind and hopes her expertise will be of value to the team.
We will forever be grateful to the many members of our team who have taken on new responsibilities – embracing challenges and endeavouring to do the best work that they can to support our service users. It is important to highlight the resilience and adaptability of our team; they are crucial to ensuring MKM’s success.
As we look ahead to growing the range of services which we offer, it is these principles demonstrated by our team that will guide and shape how we tackle the challenges of the future.

Working In Partnership
Working in partnership continued to be a key area of strategic focus for MKM.
We were proud to support the ‘Helping You Home’ project - working in partnership with Maidstone Borough Council to support clients hoarding by providing a much needed talking therapy services. We also had the opportunity to strengthen our growing relationship with the Maidstone Early Help team - building upon our ambition to continue working with young people in Maidstone in a more dynamic and engaging manner.
We remain committed to building new partnerships, enabling us to make a long-term, sustainable difference to our communities.
Fundraising & Donations
Between 2021-2022 we also saw some fantastic fundraisers from our community – helping to sustain our support services whilst also enabling our wider work across the Mid Kent Area.
In August, the Rotary Club of Maidstone Riverside donated over £700 to our organisation, followed in September by Amy and Nysha, who tackled the South Coast Challenge for our organisation and raised £1,000 in the process.
The Electrical Contractors Association also hosted an incredibly generous dinner dance in November of 2021 – raising over £3,000 for MKM.
We have seen many fantastic fundraisers since and are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to put so much time, energy and enthusiasm into supporting our organisation and the work we do. Without your support we would not be able to provide vital support services for our community.
Our donors & fundraisers raised over £70,000 for Mid Kent Mind in 2021-2022. Thank You.

Achievements and performance
MKM provides mental health support services to the core communities of Maidstone, Ashford and Swale and in partnership with other local Minds, across Kent.
The Charity has grown over the last 5 years to increase the number of beneficiaries able to access services, increase the amount and quality of services and has increased training opportunities for staff and volunteers.
New and existing partnerships have grown to extend our provisions and areas of specialised support.
Key performance indicators
The charity measures its performance by recording the number of people that access our services and those who have improved their levels of mental health and wellbeing. We also measure a number of outcomes that are set by our funders and commissioners, usually also linked to wellbeing levels.
Between 2021 & 2022 MKM provided over 3,500 Counselling Sessions – supporting over 520 different clients with accessible and affordable therapy. Our Youth Counsellor also provided 80 sessions to vulnerable young people during this period.

We remain committed to building new partnerships, enabling us to make a long-term, sustainable difference to our communities.
Training
Awareness continues to be at the heart of MKM’s work – and that was no different during 2021-2022, where we expanded our Mental Health Awareness, Mental Health First Aid & Suicide Prevention & Awareness training offerings.
During this period, we provided Adult Suicide Prevention Training to 280 individuals, and Youth Suicide Prevention Training to 76 individuals.
As a part of the HeadStart Kent programme we were also able to train 18 new Youth Mental Health First Aiders who are now contributing to positive mental health in schools across the county.
Our ambition is to grow and expand our mental health training throughout the next few years – providing anyone who would like to learn more about different areas of mental health with the means to do so.
Fundraising and donations
Between 2021-2022 we also saw some fantastic fundraisers from our community – helping to sustain our support services whilst also enabling our wider work across the Mid Kent Area.

Our donors & fundraisers raised over £70,000 for Mid Kent Mind in 2021-2022.
Financial review
As at 31 March 2022, the charity held total funds of £941,852 (2021: £794,658), of which £33,528 is restricted and £908,324 was unrestricted.
Total income for the year was £1,000,341 with a net surplus being generated for the year ended 31 March 2022 of £147,194 (2021: net surplus of £113,990 as restated).
The net surplus for the year of £147,194 comprises of an unrestricted surplus of £363,766 and a restricted deficit of £216,572 which will be funded by unrestricted reserves.
A full review of the allocation of expenditure against restricted funds has been undertaken going back into the previous years and a restatement of the comparative year has been undertaken as a result.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

MID KENT MIND
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month’s expenditure as required by the Charity Commission.
MK Mind trustees have set their aim to have a full year of operating costs and redundancy/shutdown costs restricted in reserves as our service users are from an extremely vulnerable section of the community and it was felt that one year to help them all get alternative access to support in place would be prudent should we be in the position that our income ceases.
The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a registered charity, number 1167328 and is constituted under a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, (CIO).
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

A trustee cannot be voted in for more than three consecutive terms.
In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

Organisational structure
The past year has seen a new direction for the organisation - with new staff joining MKM, and a new senior management team in place.
This includes Henu Cummins, MKM’s new Chief Executive Officer.
MKM also recruited Julia Milne FCCA as their new finance manager.
Pay policy for key management personnel
The trustees give their time freely and no trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of trustee expenses are disclosed in note 8 to the accounts. The pay of senior staff is reviewed and set annually.
Financial risk management
The Trustees regularly assess the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and remain satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. However, given the specific impact of the Covid-19 pandemic during 2020 on the charity (from a financial, operational and human resource perspective), the Board maintained regular virtual meetings during this period to identify significant issues as they arose and agree actions with the Chief Executive to mitigate their impact.
Funds held as custodian trustee
No funds are held by Mid Kent Mind as a custodian.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 year.
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 operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF MID KENT MIND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mid Kent Mind (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

MID KENT MIND
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF MID KENT MIND
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
We have made enquiries of management, and directors, regarding the procedures relating to identifying, evaluating and complying with
-
laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
Discussion among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential for fraud in the following areas::
-
Management override of the controls in place
-
Internal control deficiencies
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Mid Kent Mind is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England. The registered office of the charity is 23 College Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 6YH.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by 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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Software 3 years straight line basis Website development costs 3 years straight line basis
Intangible assets in the course of construction are not amortised.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line basis on buildings Property improvements 10 years straight line basis
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

MKM owns the property at 23 College Road Maidstone, where it has its offices. Funding was provided by various bodies principally what was then called "The Maidstone Health Authority".
There is a restriction registered saying “No disposition by the proprietor of the land is to be registered and none shall take effect unless made with the consent of the Housing Corporation (being The Maidstone Health Authority), when such consent is required under the provisions of section 9 of the Housing Associations Act 1985”.
The property is held under the name of Maidstone Association for Mental Health Ltd, a company registered as an Industrial and Provident Society which was deregistered in 2001. The society either became or transferred its business to Maidstone and Mid Kent Mind.
Maidstone and Mid Kent Mind became Mid Kent Mind in 2018.

23 Prior Year Adjustment
During the year as a result of the accounts and audit work, it was noted that £31,000 of garage works costs were expensed in last year's accounts when these should have been capitalised. A prior year adjustment has therefore been made to adjust the freehold property cost and fund balances.
In addition, a further prior year adjustment was made to the restricted funds balance after carrying out a thorough review of funds and the restricted fund balance brought forward has been restated.

Achievements and performance
MKM provides mental health support services to the core communities of Maidstone, Ashford and Swale and in partnership with other local Minds, across Kent.
The Charity has grown over the last 5 years to increase the number of beneficiaries able to access services, increase the amount and quality of services and has increased training opportunities for staff and volunteers.
New and existing partnerships have grown to extend our provisions and areas of specialised support.
Key performance indicators
The charity measures its performance by recording the number of people that access our services and those who have improved their levels of mental health and wellbeing. We also measure a number of outcomes that are set by our funders and commissioners, usually also linked to wellbeing levels.
Between 2021 & 2022 MKM provided over 3,500 Counselling Sessions – supporting over 520 different clients with accessible and affordable therapy. Our Youth Counsellor also provided 80 sessions to vulnerable young people during this period.
A total of 146 young people received support - with 840 attendances across 185 CBC sessions.
183 one-to-one Wellbeing & Resilience Action Plan sessions for 53 different young people.
219 Wellbeing Café Support sessions were also provided over the year.
Review of activities
2021-22 was the year that delivered change and uncertainty but also the year that enabled our teams to come together demonstrating strength and resilience in abundance. Covid-19 quickly moved on to an endemic, forcing us to start to live with the disease and slowly but surely start the process of getting life back to ‘normal’.
Although, many would have been elated to see the relaxation of restrictions for others this was a time of heightened anxiety and uncertainty as they learn to live with the impact of the pandemic on their mental health. Mid Kent Mind has endeavoured to remain a source of constant support to the communities in need, providing vital services to meet the changing needs of more people than ever before. Over the last year, we have supported over 2,200 people - assisting them on their journey to better mental health and wellbeing. It has never been more important for MKM to remain flexible and adept whilst continuing to be a strong advocate for the community. Working closely with our network of partner organisations has been crucial in enabling us to offer a range of services to meet all levels of need.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Working In Partnership
Working in partnership continued to be a key area of strategic focus for MKM.
We were proud to support the ‘Helping You Home’ project - working in partnership with Maidstone Borough Council to support clients hoarding by providing a much needed talking therapy services. We also had the opportunity to strengthen our growing relationship with the Maidstone Early Help team - building upon our ambition to continue working with young people in Maidstone in a more dynamic and engaging manner.
We remain committed to building new partnerships, enabling us to make a long-term, sustainable difference to our communities.
Training
Awareness continues to be at the heart of MKM’s work – and that was no different during 2021-2022, where we expanded our Mental Health Awareness, Mental Health First Aid & Suicide Prevention & Awareness training offerings.
During this period, we provided Adult Suicide Prevention Training to 280 individuals, and Youth Suicide Prevention Training to 76 individuals.
As a part of the HeadStart Kent programme we were also able to train 18 new Youth Mental Health First Aiders who are now contributing to positive mental health in schools across the county.
Our ambition is to grow and expand our mental health training throughout the next few years – providing anyone who would like to learn more about different areas of mental health with the means to do so.
Fundraising and donations
Between 2021-2022 we also saw some fantastic fundraisers from our community – helping to sustain our support services whilst also enabling our wider work across the Mid Kent Area.
In August, the Rotary Club of Maidstone Riverside donated over £700 to our organisation, followed in September by Amy and Nysha, who tackled the South Coast Challenge for our organisation and raised £1,000 in the process.
The Electrical Contractors Association also hosted an incredibly generous dinner dance in November of 2021 – raising over £3,000 for MKM.
We have seen many fantastic fundraisers since and are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to put so much time, energy and enthusiasm into supporting our organisation and the work we do. Without your support we would not be able to provide vital support services for our community.
Our donors & fundraisers raised over £70,000 for Mid Kent Mind in 2021-2022.
Financial review
As at 31 March 2022, the charity held total funds of £941,852 (2021: £794,658), of which £33,528 is restricted and £908,324 was unrestricted.
Total income for the year was £1,000,341 with a net surplus being generated for the year ended 31 March 2022 of £147,194 (2021: net surplus of £113,990 as restated).
The net surplus for the year of £147,194 comprises of an unrestricted surplus of £363,766 and a restricted deficit of £216,572 which will be funded by unrestricted reserves.
A full review of the allocation of expenditure against restricted funds has been undertaken going back into the previous years and a restatement of the comparative year has been undertaken as a result.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

MID KENT MIND
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month’s expenditure as required by the Charity Commission.
MK Mind trustees have set their aim to have a full year of operating costs and redundancy/shutdown costs restricted in reserves as our service users are from an extremely vulnerable section of the community and it was felt that one year to help them all get alternative access to support in place would be prudent should we be in the position that our income ceases.
The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a registered charity, number 1167328 and is constituted under a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, (CIO).

Organisational structure
The past year has seen a new direction for the organisation - with new staff joining MKM, and a new senior management team in place.
This includes Henu Cummins, MKM’s new Chief Executive Officer.
MKM also recruited Julia Milne FCCA as their new finance manager.
Pay policy for key management personnel
The trustees give their time freely and no trustee received remuneration in the year. Details of trustee expenses are disclosed in note 8 to the accounts. The pay of senior staff is reviewed and set annually.
Financial risk management
The Trustees regularly assess the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and remain satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. However, given the specific impact of the Covid-19 pandemic during 2020 on the charity (from a financial, operational and human resource perspective), the Board maintained regular virtual meetings during this period to identify significant issues as they arose and agree actions with the Chief Executive to mitigate their impact.
Funds held as custodian trustee
No funds are held by Mid Kent Mind as a custodian.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 year.
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 operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF MID KENT MIND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mid Kent Mind (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

MID KENT MIND
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF MID KENT MIND
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
We have made enquiries of management, and directors, regarding the procedures relating to identifying, evaluating and complying with
-
laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
Discussion among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential for fraud in the following areas::
-
Management override of the controls in place
-
Internal control deficiencies
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Mid Kent Mind is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England. The registered office of the charity is 23 College Road, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 6YH.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by 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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Software 3 years straight line basis Website development costs 3 years straight line basis
Intangible assets in the course of construction are not amortised.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line basis on buildings Property improvements 10 years straight line basis
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

MKM owns the property at 23 College Road Maidstone, where it has its offices. Funding was provided by various bodies principally what was then called "The Maidstone Health Authority".
There is a restriction registered saying “No disposition by the proprietor of the land is to be registered and none shall take effect unless made with the consent of the Housing Corporation (being The Maidstone Health Authority), when such consent is required under the provisions of section 9 of the Housing Associations Act 1985”.
The property is held under the name of Maidstone Association for Mental Health Ltd, a company registered as an Industrial and Provident Society which was deregistered in 2001. The society either became or transferred its business to Maidstone and Mid Kent Mind.
Maidstone and Mid Kent Mind became Mid Kent Mind in 2018.

23 Prior Year Adjustment
During the year as a result of the accounts and audit work, it was noted that £31,000 of garage works costs were expensed in last year's accounts when these should have been capitalised. A prior year adjustment has therefore been made to adjust the freehold property cost and fund balances.
In addition, a further prior year adjustment was made to the restricted funds balance after carrying out a thorough review of funds and the restricted fund balance brought forward has been restated.
