Spelthorne Mental Health Association is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by a constitution. Trustees are appointed from the membership by the Management Committee.
The objects of the charity as stated in the constitution are the preservation of mental health and relief of those suffering from mental illness in the borough of Spelthorne. Summary of activities: we run a day centre with therapeutic classes and activities, e.g. art, crafts, dressmaking, woodwork, keep-fit, relaxation, literacy, plus outings and social interaction. This is funded by a charity shop.
We have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and note that 1) our clients say that the service helps them to stay well and reduces social isolation 2) the service is open to any Spelthorne resident age 18-65 referred by a health or social care professional, provided we can meet their needs. We keep existing clients after 65, and we provide transport to ensure that all clients can access the day centre. We do not charge for the service, other than 50p per session to cover tea or coffee.
Achievements: We had to close the day centre in March because of Covid, but the administrator and the trustees kept in touch with vulnerable clients by phone. Clients, staff and trustees met weekly in the day centre garden throughout summer and autumn.
SMHA normally has no statutory funding or grants. It is funded by the income from the charity shop and the flat, plus a small amount of other fundraising. However 2020 was not a normal year. The charity shop closed during the lockdown periods and takings were reduced by about a third, but a business support grant from the borough council and furlough grants for employees compensated for the shortfall. Donations also increased and we finished the year with a substantial surplus. This was a welcome surprise as by the end of the year it had become clear that the day centre, a Victorian building, needed a complete new roof in 2021.
