## **ROBIN HOOD HEALTH FOUNDATION**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The objects of the charity are:
1. the relief and prevention of sickness and the preservation of health for the public benefit by the provision of complementary, natural and alternative medicine, in particular but not exclusively through the provision of affordable complementary therapy treatments and therapeutic art projects;
2. to advance the education of the public in health and wellbeing and the therapeutic benefit of the arts by but not exclusively through the provision of lectures, exhibitions, arts programmes and workshops. for the purposes of this clause complementary therapies will be: acupuncture, chiropractic, herbal medicine, homeopathy, osteopathy, alexander technique, aromatherapy, bach and other flower remedies, body work therapies, counselling stress therapy, hypnotherapy, meditation, reflexology, shiatsu, healing, maharishi ayurvedic medicine, nutritional medicine and yoga.
## **IMPACT AND ACHIEVEMENTS**
## **Overview**
The charity maintained a range of high-quality social and creative programmes, in the context of an ever-more challenging funding environment. Engagement numbers were comparative to the previous year, while the overall picture of the complexity of need increased. Three-quarters of the charity's clients report a mental health concern, and over half a physical disability. Welcome support from Arts Council England and the Baring Foundation enabled the recruitment of a new Creative Programmer, and an Access & Engagement Officer. An increased focus on tackling the social determinants of health that lie behind population health inequalities saw the charity engage with several important new networks, including the Sussex Health Inequalities Network and the NHS Mental Health Transformation Programme. A new contract was agreed to work with partners to support health & wellbeing amongst vulnerable migrants. A further new contract was agreed with Adult Social Care in Brighton & Hove to support adults with multiple compound needs. Our work demonstrates in real time what a rapidly growing body of evidence shows: creative health programmes are highly effective, both in terms of health outcomes for individuals and cost savings to the health & care system, in particular by supporting self-management of symptoms, reducing avoidable decline, and preventing unnecessary medical appointments and treatments. The appointment of an NHS Creative Health Associate for the region at the start of this financial year was welcome (funded by Arts Council England and employed by the National Centre for Creative Health), but as yet there remains no clear commissioning pathway for this work, and much management time and effort has been devoted to NHS relationships in order to stay engaged with important but slow change processes in health policy and structures.
In the spring of 2024 the Hera Project was named as one of three finalists in the National Social Prescribing Awards - Best Arts & Culture Project.
Overall during the course of the year, our programmes supported approximately 1600 people, most over extended periods of several months.
## **The HERA Partnership (Healing, Expressive and Recovery Arts)**
We were notified during the year that funding for this work in Brighton & Hove would be reduced by 10% due to local government budget pressures. 2024-25 is the last year of this five-year agreement, and the City Council has confirmed there is no applicable budget to support the work from April 2025, despite the national and international reputation of the programme, and demonstrable local impact.
## **Hera Connect**
Page 1
## **ROBIN HOOD HEALTH FOUNDATION**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
This programme is ongoing, with the possibility of applying for a funding extension to 2027 becoming available in autumn 2024. Despite changes to partnership funding arrangements in Reigate & Bansted, that work continues successfully, and focuses on those in the borough most impacted by health inequity. An agreement was reached to launch development of a new programme in Gravesham in Kent (Dartford area), and negotiations with three further locations are proceeding.
## **Hera Great Outdoors**
Micro-grants have been available for tiny one-off events in green prescribing, but as yet no strategic commissioning opportunities have been available. However, it is planned that a new contract the charity has with Adult Social Care, providing intensive one-to-one support for adults with compound needs, will build referral numbers over time, which will enable some group 'green prescribing' support to be offered to these individuals in the 2025-26 financial year.
## **NHS Social Prescribing Link Workers**
The Goldstone Primary Care Network contract for social prescribing to primary care patients continues successfully, achieving target numbers and exceeding target health outcomes, and is due to run to March 2025 with the possibility of re-tender. We were asked to contribute to statutory cancer and dementia care reviews, without additional payment, which is beyond the scope of the contract, so a negotiation process was scheduled for summer 2024 to ensure that we are able to deliver on the agreed social prescribing work, within our skillset and contractual obligations, while contributing to a necessary process of improved personalised care across the health & care system.
## **Integrated Migrant Pathways (IMP)**
Funding has been provided by the UOK partnership (community mental health support) to continue our work supporting vulnerable migrants, but at approximately one-third of the previous year's level. As yet long-term commissioning has not been made available, but negotiations for re-tender were due to emerge during the 2024-25 financial year. This work supports some of the most under-served and traumatised people in our communities, many of whom have come across the channel in small boats and are precariously housed in Home Office accommodation. The IMP programme will see our partnership with Brighton Exiled/Refugee Trauma Service continue, albeit at a reduced capacity.
## **Board Development**
Three new trustees have been appointed during the year, Jack Burton, Hannah Becker and Luna Gladman, who bring vital strategic, business and other experience to the board. A board skills audit was undertaken to identify future development and/or external support needs going forward.
A review of key policies was undertaken in the spring of 2024, including safeguarding, confidentiality, environmental impact, diversity & inclusion, and lone working.
The board has scheduled a strategic review and new business plan to be developed in 2024-25.
## **Reserves Policy**
The charity was founded in 2016 and has grown significantly. In the context of managing risk, the trustees keep reserves policy under review. It was agreed to maintain the reserves target to £35,000, equivalent to three months' core operating and closure costs. This will be reviewed in early 2025, with a view to increase to £45,000 should pending contract tenders be successful.
## **Going Concern**
Page 2
## **ROBIN HOOD HEALTH FOUNDATION**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
The charity remains a going concern, with funding in place for all major programmes for 2024-25. The board have undertaken a strategic review over the summer of 2024, with a view to ensuring that the charity is better positioned to receive unrestricted philanthropic giving. There are two key areas of resource development required for 2025-26 onwards: Hera Partnership creative health work in Brighton & Hove, and confirmation of social prescribing (primary care and migrants) arrangements, again in Brighton & Hove. Two major and two smaller tender processes are underway, and confirmation has been received that one of the three FTE social prescribing posts is secure from 2025 onwards, while the other two-thirds of that contract will be reviewed in January 2025. Revenue from the Hera GO contract with Adult Social Care is growing, and is on track to support 1 FTE post by the end of the financial year. The core funding for Hera Connect and Hera GO are secure for the next four years, while our approaches and target participants have been identified as priorities by local health commissioners, which supports our partnership tender submissions. In the event of Hera Partnership and Goldstone funding not achieving current levels in the next funding round, reduced hours or possibly redundancies may have to be considered, but the foundation holds sufficient reserves to navigate this event.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Public benefit**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The trustees refer to public benefit throughout this report.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ROBIN HOOD HEALTH FOUNDATION**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Robin Hood Health Foundation ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
