FRAZZLED CAFE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022. 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.

Support Services Frazzled Café 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-judgmental environment, a place where its ok not to 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 Café meetings are not about therapy or offering solutions, they provide a safe and confidential space where people can speak openly without worrying about judgment 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 Café meetings for members of the public were hosted fortnightly in Marks and Spencer 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 hose meetings last for 45 minutes for up to 12 people.

Both types of meetings start with set guidelines being read out to establish ground rules and set expectations for the meeting and are bookended with mindfulness exercise.

.

Public benefit

A key factor in helping to overcome feelings of stress and anxiety is knowing that we are not alone,

1

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.

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. 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

Across 2022, we held 764 meetings for an average of 278 attendees per month (3,330 across the year), who made 13,938 bookings across the year.

We also have regular meetings hosted by Ruby Wax; these are far larger than our day-to-day Frazzled Café facilitator meetings .

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Frazzled Cafe (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2022.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  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.
