## Welcome 

## from Chris Ruane, Frazzled Cafe Chair 


Thank you for taking the time to read Frazzled Cafe’s 2021 Annual Report. 

Where 2020 was largely a year of frantic adaptation for us and many other charities, 2021 was a year where despite our lives continuing to be dominated by the pandemic, we could begin to both become accustomed to and even thrive in our new normal. 

More widely, across the UK where many degrees of normality began to return thanks to the rollout of vaccines and the gradual lifting of Covid-19 restrictions, these encouraging steps had to be tempered by the ongoing sobering reminders of how heavily the pandemic had affected people’s mental health and wellbeing. 

The stresses of the pandemic, against a backdrop of fear around climate change and the sense of escalating tensions across Europe shone a light onto how frazzled we are as a nation. These problems were then further exacerbated as the year went on by significant surging increases in the cost of living in many respects. 

Never has the work of Frazzled Cafe been more needed, and our small team rose to the challenge, running Frazzled Cafe meetings every single day of the year, starting from 7.30 in the morning until late in the evening. I have been so proud of and impressed by the hard work the small Frazzled Cafe team have put in to make sure that our services have been available to those that really need them. 

We’ve held just over 1,000 (1,032) online meetings in 2021, with over 4,000 (4,110) attendees making over 20,000 (21,078) bookings across the year, which are incredible milestones to have reached and surpassed. 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. 

Under the excellent leadership of the Frazzled Cafe CEO Alex, the team have continued to focus on making Frazzled Cafe a truly data led organisation – every

attendee is asked to feedback on the meetings they attend in real time to give us up-to-the-minute data, helping us shape our service to best fit their needs. 

As a result of this, we know that across 2021, 77% of our attendees reported feeling better after just one session, a truly remarkable statistic, and a testament to the efficacy of the Frazzled Cafe model. 98% of our attendees said that they got so much out of our sessions they would come again, with 99% saying that they would recommend Frazzled Cafe to their loved ones. 

We know that by far and away the biggest motivator for anyone attending our meetings is through a sense of loneliness and isolation (over 80% of attendees), no doubt exacerbated by the events of the past few years. As we continue to come out of the pandemic, the UK will need a focus on mental health and wellbeing perhaps like never before. 

This has been another difficult year for charities and the nation’s economy as a whole, and fundraising has been especially challenging. Over the course of 2021 the team managed to fundraise £89,506 through corporate partnerships and donations. Expenditure amounted to £105,158 over the course of the year. 

Finally, can I record my personal thanks to all our frazzled Cafe staff, volunteers, and fellow Trustees. We are living in uncertain times and 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 these unprecedented events. 

However, your commitment in continuing to work hard to improve the lives of everyone who uses the services of Frazzled Cafe in inspiring and really is making a difference, so please keep up the good work.

## Frazzled Cafe’s Key Services 

## The charity’s services currently include: 

- Online support groups 

- Mindfulness classes and other events with Ruby Wax 

- An interactive website offering information and resources 

## Support Services 

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. 

Prior to the 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. 

The arrival of Covid-19 in the spring of 2020 meant we could no longer meet face-to-face, so 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 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 hugely since moving our model online. In Q1 2020 whilst meeting face 

**FRAZZLED CAFE ANNUAL REPORT 2021**

to face, we held 33 meetings with approximately 154 attendees. By comparison, in Q1 in 2021 with a fully online model, we held 353 meetings with 2,341 attendees. 

Across 2021, we held 1,032 meetings for 4,110 attendees, who made 21,078 bookings across the year. 

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 which contains information and signposting to further services for those feeling frazzled. 

## **Face-to-face Meetings** 

With some of the Covid-19 measures lifting, we have resumed some face-to-face meetings as part of our partnership with the Harpenden Trust, a charitable trust operating for the greater good of the residents of Harpenden. In conjunction with them, we have designed a pilot programme where we will train people locally to become Facilitators and deliver the meetings face-to-face for people in the immediate area. 

This is an exciting piece of work that we hope we can then replicate in other parts of the country, as well as continuing to offer our meetings online for anyone to attend.

## Fundraising 

In 2021, £89,506 was raised by Frazzled Cafe through fundraising activities and donations. 

Fundraising is and remains to be a major priority for Frazzled Cafe. We have worked 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. 

Corporate Partnerships have continued to be successful, and Frazzled Cafe was delighted to have been successful in securing some fantastic new partnerships and donors in 2020 including QVC, Shoosmiths Law Firm, Luckybean, and the Harpenden Trust. 

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 £89,506 

Total Expenditure £ 105,158 

Free Reserves £89,014 

Free reserves as at 31st December 2021 are £89,014. 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 £89,506 of which £3,668 was generated from trading activities such as ticket sales and merchandise, and £85,838 from donations, and fundraising activities. Total expenditure was £105,158 of which £105,158  was expended on direct charitable activities. 

The balance on total funds at the year-end was £89,014, of which £89,014 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 when with the impact of COVID19 meant that 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. 2022 will be the 5th year of Frazzled, and we will be looking to build on the lessons learned over the course of 2021 to shape our future. 

We expect to continue to focus on our successful model of Frazzled Cafe meetings and will be seeking to grow our reach, exploring returning to a partially face-to-face model, as well as 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 face-to-face services when these can safely be carried out.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 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 selfesteem and social functioning. 

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.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** Charitable activities 

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 Frazzled Cafe meetings online in line Covid-19 guidance. 

Frazzled Cafe meetings provide a place where people who are feeling frazzled can meet to talk and share their stories.

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 9 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FRAZZLED CAFE** 

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Frazzled Cafe 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Frazzled Cafe (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## Independent examiner's statement 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

2.             the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3.             the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

## Going concern 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## 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. 

## 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 particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## 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 particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

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