## **Welcome** 

## from Chris Ruane, Frazzled Cafe Chair 

It feels as though it would be impossible to start the 2020 Annual Report talking about anything other than Covid-19.  This has been a year like no other, and we’ve all had to find ways to adapt to our new realities. 

2020 has been a year of great change for Frazzled Cafe – over the past year we’ve gone from being a charity operating a purely face to face model, to adapting quickly and moving the entirety of our services online. 


I have been so proud of and impressed by the hard work the small Frazzled team have put in to make sure that our services have been available to those that really need them. Over the course of 2020 we started out holding our fortnightly face to face meetings across the country up until the pandemic hit in March. 

We’ve held just over 1,000 (1001) online meetings in Q2-4 2020, with over 25,000 (27,390) bookings across the 9 months, which are incredible milestones to have reached and surpassed having not being originally set up to be an online organisation. The team have worked incredibly hard to make sure we had the right number of meetings scheduled to meet demand – no small feat in such an unpredictable climate. 

We continue to run meetings from 7.30am through to 8.30pm, and to cater for our ongoing weekend demand have increased our weekend across Saturday and Sunday, again from early morning to evening. These are proving popular and we imagine will continue to be even as lockdown eases 

I was particularly proud of the team over the festive break; where many organisations dial back their activities over Christmas, the team collectively took the decision that given how difficult this year has been, we were not only going to run a skeleton service over the holidays, but actually deliver a full schedule of meetings, holding well over 30 meetings from the 24th December-1st Jan. 

This is testament to how committed and passionate both our core team and volunteers are. We had huge demand for these meetings, and staff worked 

**FRAZZLED CAFE ANNUAL REPORT 2020**

tirelessly to try to make sure meetings were being booked and attended as fairly as possible with attendees only being allowed to book into one meeting a day to ensure as many people as possible were able to benefit from our sessions. 

This has been a difficult year for charities and the nation’s economy as a whole, and fundraising has been especially challenging. Over the course of 2020 the team managed to fundraise £105,346 through diversifying our income streams with events, a renewed focus on corporate partnerships and the introduction of an online shop. Expenditure amounted to £94,047 over the course of the year. 

During 2020 we said goodbye and thank you to the outgoing Chair of Trustees Peter Read and the outgoing Director of Frazzled Cafe, Elizabeth Morrison. We wish Peter and Liz every success in what they do next. Frazzled Cafe welcomed two new Trustees, both myself and Kathryn Balls, as well as our new Chief Exec Alex Sanderson. We look forward to a new chapter at Frazzled Cafe under Alex’s leadership. 

I particularly want to pay tribute to the organisational skills,  leadership and vision of  the new CEO Alex Sanderson. It has been a pleasure to work with her over the last year. 

I’d also like to convey my admiration and gratitude towards our Founder and Patron, Ruby Wax, who despite the pressures of lockdown and the workload of writing a two books has found the time to give her personal attention to her amazing project. She has hosted dozens of FC sessions and connected with our attendees  at the level of heart and mind. She truly is an inspirational figure who generously gives up so much of her time and energy for Frazzled Cafe – it wouldn’t be the same without her. 

Finally, can I record my personal thanks to all our volunteers, staff, and fellow Trustees. We are living in unprecedented times and those in our communities who suffer with feeling frazzled, now also have to contend with the added burden of COVID-19. 

There will undoubtedly be an increasing need for the support and services that we in Frazzled Cafe offer as our the world struggles to cope with this pandemic. 

However, your commitment in continuing to develop new and innovative responses to the current crisis is both inspiring and is really making a difference to the lives of everyone who uses the services of Frazzled Cafe, so please keep up the good work.

**Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet to talk and share their stories. Our meetings create a supportive, confidential and nonjudgemental environment – a place where it’s ok to not be ok.**

## **Support Services** 

This year saw a continued increase in the delivery of our core services that reach out to people across the UK. Support Services including our Frazzled Cafe meetings, continue to be of huge importance to us in supporting people affected by feeling frazzled. 

We have continued to run the pre-existing Frazzled Cafe meetings both face-toface pre-pandemic, and a slightly modified online version once the country went into lockdown. 

Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet to talk and share their stories. Our meetings create a supportive, anonymous and non-judgemental environment – a place where it’s ok to not be ok. Before the Coronavirus situation hit in the Spring of 2020, we held in-person meetings in Marks and Spencer and other partner venues across the UK. Once lockdown was in place, we moved all of our meetings online, offering virtual meetings over Zoom. 

Frazzled Cafe meetings are not about therapy or offering solutions. They provide a safe and confidential space where people can speak openly without worrying about judgement amongst a group of peers who understand how it feels to be frazzled. What is said in the meetings stays in the meetings. 

In Q1 (pre-pandemic) the majority of Frazzled Cafe meetings for members of the public were hosted fortnightly in Marks & Spencer (M&S) cafes. These meetings typically took place after hours when the cafe was closed to the public but the main store remained open. Each meeting lasted up to 90 minutes with a break for tea/coffee and was overseen by a trained Facilitator. Up to 12 people could attend a meeting and attendees were typically a diverse mix of men and women of all ages and life experiences. 

After Covid-19 meant we could no longer meet face-to-face, we moved all of our meetings online and brought on Hosts to complement the services provided by our pre-existing Facilitators. Facilitator meetings last for an hour and are for up 

**FRAZZLED CAFE ANNUAL REPORT 2020**

to 17 people, and Host meetings last for 45 minutes and are for up to 12 people. Both types of meeting start with set guidelines being read out to establish ground rules and set expectations for the meeting, and are bookended with a mindfulness exercise. 

Our number of both the meetings and people signing up to attend have increased significantly over 2020. In Q1 2020 whilst meeting face to face, we held 33 meetings with approximately 154 attendees. 

By comparison, in Q2, we had 312 meetings with 7,545 attendees, Q3 357 meetings with 6,231 attendees, and Q4 332 meetings with 5,494 attendees.

We also have regular meetings hosted by Ruby Wax. These are far larger than our day to day Frazzled Cafe Facilitator or Hosted meetings, and We do not charge people to attend meetings and they are open to anyone over 18 years of age, though we do specify that meetings may not be suitable for individuals currently experiencing severe mental health issues as they are specifically designed to provide peer support, not therapy. 

As part of our safeguarding measures we have established a robust Volunteer Facilitator recruitment process and training program and identified the Two Day Mental Health First Aid England (MHFA) course as a core component that our volunteer Facilitators are expected to undertake if they do not already have equivalent experience. 

We complement our Frazzled Cafe meetings with additional events focusing on Mindfulness, and our newly revamped website for 2020 which contains information and signposting to further services for those feeling frazzled.

## **Fundraising** 

In 2020, £105,346 was raised by Frazzled Cafe through fundraising activities and donations which equates to approximately a 102% growth in fundraising income from 2019. 

Fundraising is and remains to be a major priority for Frazzled Cafe. In 2020 we began to diversify our fundraising approach by working hard to boost online fundraising, hosting ticketed events, and introducing corporate partnerships. 

The main areas of growth were seen in corporate partnerships and running events. 

Frazzled Cafe’s events portfolio grew this year, and we were delighted to hold three new Frazzled Cafe events this year with Ruby Wax - a Frazzled Theatre show called ‘Frazzled in the time of Corona’, a Frazzled Book Club event to discuss Ruby’s new book ‘And Now for the Good News’, and a Mindfulness event led by Ruby. 

Corporate Partnerships were revamped in 2020, and Frazzled Cafe was delighted to have been successful in securing some fantastic new partnerships and donors in 2020 including ITV, McDonalds, Luckybean, and the NHS. 

Our corporate partners give fantastic and encouraging feedback on the services offered by Frazzled Cafe and the benefits felt by their workforce that our services provide. 

Fundraising remains a strategic priority for Frazzled Cafe. We can’t thank our partners, supporters, event participants and donors enough. Their passion, commitment and dedication is both inspiring and humbling – we simply couldn’t do what we do without them.

## **Financial Review** 

Total Income £105,346 

Total Expenditure £ 94,047 

Free Reserves £104,666 

Free reserves as at 31st December 2020 are £104,666. The Trustees continue to strive to build a general level of reserves so that they will be able to continue the current activities of the charity. 

The total income for the year was £105,346 of which £12,761 was generated from trading activities such as ticket sales and merchandise, and £92,585 from donations, and fundraising activities. Total expenditure was £94,047 of which £94,047  was expended on direct charitable activities. 

The balance on total funds at the year-end was £104,666, of which £104,666 were general unrestricted funds. 

The Trustees consider it prudent to hold monies in reserve in the event that unforeseen circumstances should lead to financial difficulties which might put the future of its employment capacity, users’ well-being and general charitable work in jeopardy. This has never been more needed than this year when with the impact of COVID-19 many charities found themselves in dire situations. In this unforeseen context, Frazzled Cafe was able to continue to offer our range of services albeit in an altered format and remain financially secure.

## **Plans for the Future** 

After a year like no other, we are looking forward to the future. 2021 will be the 4th year of Frazzled, and we will be looking to build on the lessons learned over the course of 2021 to shape our future. We will be looking to conduct a strategic review of the charity to set a forward and strategic direction for the next three years, and to equip and prepare us for the future. 

We expect to continue to focus on our successful model of Frazzled Cafe meetings and will be seeking to grow our reach, alongside looking at ways to diversify our offering to make sure we continue to provide the best possible service for those who need us most.

## **Impact of COVID-19** 

The impact of COVID-19 for Frazzled Cafe has been significant. Not only has the demand for our services increased due to the pressure on the mental health of the population, but our mode of delivery of services has had to adapt quickly. 

Being unable to deliver our support groups and training programmes face to face, Frazzled Cafe has offered a range of online facilities to provide support. These have included the extension of our website services, promotion of online resources, online mindfulness sessions and moving our meetings online to be held on Zoom.  These are evaluated and feedback to date has been positive. During this time, we have focused on enabling our staff and volunteers to work remotely and limit their contact with service users and other team members to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission. We have not needed to make use of the furlough scheme. 

In the longer term, COVID-19 has afforded the time to diversify our services. Conversations about the continued provision of online/ virtual services have been prioritised as a necessity and we have seen the benefit of these with a new client demographic using Frazzled Cafe’s services. Going forward, this will impact our business plans as these newly developed online services will become a key part of our offering, alongside the possibility of face-to-face services when these can fully resume

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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 2015). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The primary objective of the CIO is the promotion and protection of good health by providing support for persons affected by anxiety, stress and overwhelm. This is done through the provision of a national network of private, safe and confidential meetings designed to help attendees support their mental wellbeing by connecting and speaking openly with other people who may have shared experiences. 

Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet to talk and share their stories. Our meetings create a supportive, anonymous and non-judgemental environment – a place where it’s ok to not be ok. Before the Coronavirus situation hit in the Spring of 2020, we held in-person meetings in Marks and Spencer and other partner venues across the UK. Once lockdown was in place, we moved all of our meetings online seven days a week. 

## **Public benefit** 

A key factor in helping to overcome feelings of stress and anxiety is knowing that we are not alone and this is most powerfully felt when meeting with others and connecting. Contact with others has been proven to stimulate production of Oxytocin; believed to underpin the link between social contact and healthy hearts. Research has also shown that peer-support groups yield improvements in psychiatric symptoms resulting in enhanced self-esteem and social functioning.[1] 

National research findings also indicate that the best way to beat stress is to share our feelings, and sharing with someone in the same situation typically yields the best results.[2] The opportunity to do this is often lacking in our society where the pressure to live a life crammed to the hilt is considered a success story and yet many people struggle with the pressures and are afraid to admit it. 

Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a platform to address this by giving people the opportunity to connect and share their personal stories in a safe and non-judgmental environment, with people experiencing similar challenges. By providing a relaxed and welcoming forum for people to be open about their mental wellbeing we also hope to help reduce the stigma that many people still feel exists around discussing their mental health. 

The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities undertaken during the year.
