UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, together with the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

My Black Dog is a registered charity constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation and registered as a charity 29 March 2019. 

The power to appoint and remove Trustees is vested in the Trustees and exercised by resolution at a meeting of the trustees. The number of Trustees shall be not less than three nor more than seven. If the number of Trustees falls below the minimum the remaining Trustee or Trustees may only act to call a meeting of the Trustees, or appoint a further Trustee or Trustees. 

On agreeing to become a trustee of the charity, the trustees are provided with copies of the latest constitution of the Trust and the latest annual report and accounts. 

The Trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and confirm that, as far as is possible given the nature of the grant payments and locations to which they are made, arrangements have been established to mitigate those risks. 

A list of Trustees is provided on Page 1, and on our website: https://www.myblackdog.co/whos-in. 

Trustees serve for a term of three years from the date of appointment. 

Each Trustee’s term of office may be renewed for two further 3 years terms; subsequently the Trustee in question is required to resign but may apply for re-appointment after at least one year. 

## _Trustee induction and training_ 

Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objective of the charity is: 

To promote and protect the mental health of people suffering from enduring mental illness living in England and Wales, in particular, but exclusively by the provision of a supportive, online community platform to ease the suffering of mental illness and improve the lives of people suffering from enduring mental illness. 

In determining the charity’s activities, the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## _**Strategies for achieving objectives**_ 

The charity  is focussed on: 

Economy: 

- of its own operations, to ensure that costs are appropriate for the charity to achieve its objectives 

- of the funding for delivery of its volunteer online community platform to ensure that as many people as possible suffering mental illness in England And Wales can be supported 

Efficiency: 

- of the entire My Black Dog delivery chain as well as its own operations

## **MY BLACK DOG** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## _**Review of activities to-date**_ 

This is the third  Annual Report of the Board of Trustees. 

## _**Background**_ 

Since 2019, the mission of My Black Dog has been to provide relief from suffering, improve the lives and aid the recovery of people suffering with mental health issues in England and Wales- to give support to those who need it most.  My Black Dog, based in London, achieves this by providing an online peer-to-peer chat service for adults over 18, staffed by voluntters, that supports people with their mental health concerns via a supportive community platform. This service is unique as the only peer-to-peer mental health online chat function in the UK. 

The uniqueness of this solution lies in the provision of instant messaging support by volunteers who themselves have suffered from mental health concerns.  The service has great potential to be replicated at scale, as My Black Dog provides a volunteer mental health service that does not require an office, call centre or many other overhead costs to run.  My Black Dog treates access to mental health support as an irrevocable right, not a privilege, and pursues greater equity in healthcare outcomes. 

My Black Dog supported 6,000 people in 2021, an increase of 100% from its reach in 2020 and is on course to support 9,000 in 2022.  It is not a crisis service and does not seek to replace mental health professionals and counselling, but rather to complement the services they offer.  My Black Dog aims to reach those who are struggling with their mental health but who are not yet at crisis point, and do not have access to support from qualified professional: a huge number of people. 

## _**Achievements of  My Black Dog**_ 

The Board of Trustees assesses staff (principally CEO and Operations Associate) against delivery of the Charity’s objectives on a quarterly basis. 

## _**The Annual Review 2021 provides a summary of achievements.**_ 

The main achievements in 2021/22 were: 

## _Promotion and Communications_ 

- Organic Instagram growth to over 4,000 followers 

- Regularly talked about on Virgin Radio by both Chris Evans and Eddy Temple-Morris 

- Ran a campaign with Metropolitan Pub Company to raise awareness about MBD in their pubs 

- • Strengthened the central messaging of MBD through social media 

## _Operations_ 

- 

   - Strengthening the staff base by hiring two Shift Managers to oversee the guest chats. 

- Changed chat software to ensure data protection and further privacy for the guests. 

- Developed a charity partnership with Car Fest, securing annual funding. 

## _**Development**_ 

## _Areas requiring further focus_ 

We have secured some excellent fundraisers over this last year, however we need to do more to drive our own fundraising and specifically, events that can both raise funds and awareness. 

**Page 3** 



## **MY BLACK DOG** 

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

We need stronger policies and procedures in place to make sure that HR within the organisation as a whole is where it needs to be. 

We need further staff to support the Charity’s growth. 

## _**Plans for April 2022 – March 2023**_ 

My Black Dog grew very quickly during the pandemic in a time of need. If we are to continue this growth, we need to have the structure to support this. We need further funds, a larger staff base and marketing in order to raise awareness and manage steady growth. 

Fundraising needs to be at the forefront of MBD’s success. We need to capacitate growth, however, we are still in a grass roots phase and financially we are limited. 

## _Development_ 

- Volunteer MH support 

- Staff wellbeing 

- Organisational consultancy and additional expertise in growth and development are vital 

- Trustee induction and training needs to be developed with the Board taking a more active role within the organisation 

- Ambassador relationships need to be considered along with Ambassador representation. 

## _Key financial performance indicators_ 

Our financial results are carefully reviewed by the Trustees, led by the Treasurer, at quarterly Trustee meetings.  The key areas the  Trustees  focuses on are cash balances and profit from our trading activities. 

Factors relevant to achieve objectives 

- Cost control, in particular the margins on our trading activities, salary costs and sub-contractor costs (particularly software provision) 

Ability to identify and source new fundraising opportunities and to be able to deliver within operational capabilities of the charity 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## _**Results for the period**_ 

During the year the charity received donations amounting to £269,801 and had total expenditure of £169,973, therefore net income for the period was £99,828.  At the balance sheet date the charity had free reserves of £199,420. The Trustees are satisfied that the charity’s assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in relation to those funds. 

The key sources of funds for the Charity are the receipt of funds from various fundraising events held throughout the year which the charity participates in, including and most materially, Carfest.  Participation in Carfest in 2021 provided approximately 50% of the charity’s income for the period. 

The Charity currently has unrestricted reserves of £199,420 as at 31/03/2022. 

The Trustees have put in place a Reserves policy for 2022/23 period (see below) to reflect the growth of the charity and its obligations to its staff. 

## _**Reserves policy**_ 

The Trustees have the objective of maintaining sufficient reserves to offset any liabilities that should be incurred in the 

**Page 4** 



## **MY BLACK DOG** 

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

event that the charity would need to be wound up; redundancy costs of staff, rental costs of office space during the closure of the Charity and other on-going liabilities such as pension contributions and supplier costs.  The Trustees believe that reserves of £199,420  will be sufficient to cover our current commitments and to meet all costs associated with a downturn in our activities and a potential winding up of the charity. 

## _**Going concern**_ 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the CIO has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

## _**Volunteers**_ 

The Charity is comprised of a volunteer base that drives the organisation as a peer to peer service. The volunteers operate the daily function of the Charity goals. The Charity uses the Board of Trustees as advisors in voluntary role. 

## _**Management remuneration**_ 

Management remuneration is reviewed by the Trustees on at least an annual basis and decisions taken are ratified accordingly. 

## _**Fundraising**_ 

Although we do not actively fundraise from the public and we have not used any professional fundraisers in the year, the public can donate via our website and via Amazon Smile and we are registered with the Fundraising Regulator. 

## _Risk management_ 

The Trustees have assessed the financial risk management objectives and policies of the Trust. The exposure of the Trust to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow is considered not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and surplus of the Trust. 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of My Black Dog** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 8 to 14. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 charity 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

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## **MY BLACK DOG** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **General information, scope and basis of the financial statements** 

My Black Dog is an charity constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The address of the principal office is given in the reference and administrative details section and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are given in the trustees' report. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.  The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

## **Resources expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under  the following expenditure headings: 

● Raising funds; these include costs of fundraising and events. 

● Charitable activities; these include grants to third parties and the costs of administering the charity inclusive of governance costs. 

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity. 

Support and governance costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and primarily associated with the constitution and statutory requirements. 

## **VAT** 

The charity is not registered for VAT and is unable to recover VAT incurred. On this basis costs are recorded inclusive of VAT within the SOFA. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 521 to 536 Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities. 

## **Debtors receivable and creditors payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and in hand. 

**Page 10** 



UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## **MY BLACK DOG** 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted general funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for use in furtherance of the general objects of the charity without restriction. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 8 of these financial statements. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
