|**Summary of the main**

**during the year**|**Achievements and Performance**
During the 2024–2025 financial year, the Triangle Foundation has
strategically focused on expanding its long-term impact by investing in
innovative developments rather than increasing the volume of individual
counselling sessions. Our priority has been to tackle the root causes of
mental health issues through prevention, underpinned by the principle that
“prevention is better than cure.”
This year, we have made significant progress in designing and producing
our new_Mental Health Self-Defence_workshop — a practical, accessible
programme aimed at helping individuals build resilience and reduce the
risk of mental health decline. This preventative approach is a cornerstone
of our strategy to eradicate stigma and promote wellbeing through
empowerment, education, and early intervention.
We are also proud to have laid the groundwork for an exciting new
research partnership with a UK university. This initiative, due to
commence in mid-2025, will explore the role of evidence-based
probiotics in supporting people experiencing stress, anxiety, and anxiety-
related depression. We look forward to reporting on the progress and
outcomes of this pioneering study in our next annual return.|

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
## **Principal Funding Source**
The charity’s principal source of funding during this period has been the careful use of the Foundation’s existing financial reserves. These internal resources have enabled us to cover essential administrative overheads purchase a small amount of equipment and reimburse local travel expenses incurred by volunteers, ensuring the smooth running of day-today operations.
At the same time, we have focused on developing innovative, preventative workshops for the public. This has included undertaking practical research into the mental health benefits of probiotics, as well as producing small trial batches of fermented foods such as Kimchi, Kefir milk, and Kombucha. These probiotic-rich options are not only low-cost but also remarkably simple for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression to make at home—especially after being shown how through our demonstrations
