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, computing, 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 have continued to offer activities, including a new computer class to help our clients to use online services. We welcomed back old clients and several new ones, as the strain of Covid has not been good for people’s mental health. We have good links to the local authority and were chosen as one of the Mayor’s charities in 2022-23, which will help us to exchange one of our two minibuses for a newer ULEZ-compliant one in 2023. We have developed a most productive relationship with the local probation service, who were looking for work for their community service clients to do. They have provided helpers in the charity shop, are decorating the day centre and plan to improve its garden, and in return we have given them sessions in our workshop and computer room.
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 and donations, including £2000 from BUPA. The shop income is increasing, perhaps because many other local charity shops did not reopen after Covid.
