## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019. 

The charity is commonly abbreviated to ISPS UK. This report relates to the charitable incorporated organisation which has taken over from the unincorporated charity of the same name. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims. 

ISPS UK is an organisation which is genuinely interested in the human experience of psychosis and in humane responses to help people recover. We aim to promote dialogue and understanding, at local and international levels, between different perspectives on the nature of psychosis and the benefits of psychological and social approaches. 

The objectives and aims are to improve the experience of people with psychosis, and their family and friends through promoting psychological and social approaches to psychosis, promoting dialogue and understanding between people with different views and approaches to psychosis, and increasing understanding of psychosis and improving access to a wide range of therapeutic approaches. 

The Trustees of ISPS UK have had regard to the Charity Commission's requirements on reporting of public benefit. In 2025, ISPS UK has undertaken the activities referred to in the next section to further its purposes for the public benefit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

Over the past year, ISPS UK has focused on strengthening our work as a national network promoting psychological and social approaches to psychosis. 

A key success was hosting a larger scale national conference, ‘Beyond Them & Us: Finding Common Ground’, held in May 2025 in Manchester. This well attended event brought together a diverse audience using the innovative ‘trialogue’ approach to bring all voices and perspectives together and overcome our differences. 

Following this, we organised a new series of online events ‘In Conversation With’ to have dialogue with a range of authors & guest speakers to explore subjects of interest to our members and wider community. This hugely popular series has helped disseminate psychological, social and other perspectives across our community. 

We introduced quarterly networking events to connect members together and empower them as part of our national network, while continuing monthly groups to hold space for reflection and peer support for people with lived experience, family members/friends, and professionals/workers. 

Looking ahead, ISPS UK will continue to focus on engaging members more actively, expanding our network of allies, and organising events which critically examine topical subjects highlighted in the sector. 

We will revisit the ISPS UK mission, develop a longer-term strategy and plan to generate income in order to become more sustainable. We will continue embed the key principles of trialogue into our future work and events, so that we can create a strong community working towards a common purpose.

## Report of the Trustees 

## for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

## Financial position 

ISPS UK membership income has increased by 10% to £10,006 as we introduced a new fee structure including monthly fees. ISPS continues to meet its reserves target of £20,000 in line with our reserves policy with a solid surplus to carry forward to further the organisation's strategic aims in future years. ISPS UK has a budget in place, which is reviewed annually, and the trustees undertake a regular analysis of performance against the budget to monitor expenditure and income. We have also simplified our membership offer for full rate members and for low-income members with an option to pay monthly. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

## Reserves policy 

The main reserves of the charity are unrestricted funds. The charity has retained reserves from earlier periods to cover any shortfall of income against expenditure for future periods. The target reserve is £20,000  to cover one year's operating costs, and in 2025 ISPS UK has achieved this. Restricted funds held at the year end amount to £4,948 and represent unspent income for The Dismantling the Master’s House. 

## STRUCTURE,  GOVERNANCE  AND  MANAGEMENT 

## Governing document! 

The charity is controlled by its governing document and constitutes a charitable incorporated organisation. 

## Induction and training of new trustees 

New trustees have continued to be appointed at the Annual General Meeting. In most cases, these trustees are already familiar with the operations of the charity.

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

## for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## Basis of preparing the financial statements 

ISPS UK is a charitable incorporated organisation in England and Wales. The principal address is given within the Report of the Trustees on page 2 of these financial statements. 

The financial statements of the charitable, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared  in accordance  with  the  Charities  SORP (FRS  102)  '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)' issued in October 2019,   the Charities  Act 2011  and UK Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Practice.  The financial statements have   been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

A cash flow statement has not been prepared as the turnover is below £500,000. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## Income 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. The income from conferences is only included after the conference has taken place; any income received in advance is treated as a payment on account and included within creditors on the balance sheet. 

## Expenditure 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed  to  headings  they  have  been  allocated  to  activities  on  a  basis  consistent  with  the  use  of resources. Network and Journal fees represent the costs for print and distribution of the Journal Psychosis to our members. 

## Taxation 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## Membership fees, debtors, and creditors 

Membership fees are shown under income according to the year that they relate to. Fees paid in advance are included within creditors as payments on account. 

Debtors and creditors are recorded at transaction price.
