3 Jamie Horrocks Trust Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2025 ## **Introduction** The trustees are delighted to present their report for the financial year ended 31[st] March 2025. The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. The trustees are satisfied that JHT ensures its work is in the public benefit. ## **Purpose, aims and activities** ## **Our purpose:** We work to raise funds and deliver community-based projects that reduce the risks of, and support those affected by mental fitness and suicide, to bring about positive change for all. ## **Our core aims:** ✓ _**Raising awareness**_ of the risks associated with mental health/addiction across local community and organisations, to identify individuals at risk and signpost to support services. - ✓ _**Prevent and reduce**_ the impact of poor mental wellbeing through encouraging the uptake of positive interventions for individuals/groups that may be at higher risk. - ✓ _**Equipping and training**_ organisations to identify those who may be at higher risk of poor mental well-being, working in partnership to deliver joint solutions - ✓ _**Supporting**_ people bereaved by suicide, in a timely manner, which puts the needs of the bereaved at the centre of all we deliver. ## **How we deliver change:** We work with people with lived experience, and in partnership with community groups to drive change by raising _**Awareness**_ , embedding _**Engagement**_ and delivering _**Support**_ . 4 ## **Lived Experience and Community Focused** We deliver several support systems, providing timely access, both face-to-face and on-line, developed by people with lived experience, for people with lived experience: - We work in partnership with community-based groups to raise awareness of mental health fitness, early interventions and signpost before points of crisis. - We attend events to raise awareness on mental fitness and wellbeing, starting open conversations and providing bereavement support. - We continually engage with individuals and Place based organisations to understand local needs and prioritises, work in partnership to explore and create joint solutions. ## **Our Achievements Over 2024-25** We are incredibly proud to present this annual report, highlighting the support we continue to deliver across the local community and beyond, to improve the mental fitness for all. We are acutely aware that many mental health support services are currently experiencing economic pressure alongside long waiting times. The support we offer provides a Step 1 services delivering timely and accessible spaces, delivering positive interventions and making a difference on the mental fitness for all. Without doubt the last few years have been challenging, with increasing demands for services and increased pressure on fundraising. However, given all these challenges, the Trust has continued to deliver at local level, supporting people across the local community and beyond, with a range of mental health support services that are accessible and timely. 5 ## **Headlines:** _**Awareness**_ - JHT’s is ever-present on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, enabling the Trust to promote our services, health and wellbeing, suicide awareness, and signposting to services. _**Over the last 12 months**_ , _**we have increased followers on Facebook by 1,000+ followers; we now have 1.8k followers!**_ - We once again worked with the amazing teams from ‘Seeing Mental Health in a Different light’ working with We Are Willow, and Wild in Art, engaging with participants from Lad’s Den and Youth Hub to create bespoke well-being JHT bench htps://f.watch/DIdI_QiNqL/. This film hit over 1.2 k views within one month of the launch!! - Attended several live events such as Irlam Live, Rixton/Glazebrook Carnival, Boothstown festival and various Christmas Fayres: we continue to raise the profile of mental fitness, and how important it is to start a conversation. This year we have had over 100 conversations encouraging people to make their own mental health pledges. ## _**Prevention**_ - People bereaved by suicide, are more likely to experience significant mental health crisis and even taking their own lives. By providing timely advice we can reduce the impact of this vicious cycle, giving hope to those bereaved. We offer support through variety of support platforms including social media, messaging, telephone and face to face. The lead trustee for this work, has gained invaluable experience working for Greater Manchester Bereavement Service. - We became an official HAF provider (Holiday, activities and food programme) - Through the Youth Well-being hubs we deliver positive interventions, encouraging open conversations for young people on well-being and mental fitness, providing access to various activities, hot meals, healthy snacks and out-reach work. 6 - JHT’s weekly Lad’s Den, is a unique session providing support for individual’s aged 14+, a peer-to-peer support group, also providing intervention support from trained facilitators. ## _**Support**_ - We continue to deliver our monthly Bereaved by Suicide Support group, supporting 8+ families over the last 12 months, with four new participants attending for the first time. - Lad’s Den is a peer-to-peer support group led by three experienced workers, who deliver positive interventions in a safe and supportive environment. This year they have been co-deigning key topic for discussion with participants, including dealing with addiction and menopause - This year we launched JHT grief project, focusing on children and young people experiencing grief at primary school: we completed a series of engagement events with parents and staff to understand their lived experience. Phase one saw the launch a school awareness toolkit and pilot activity sessions with an informal focus on understanding grief/loss for children. ## **Focus on:** ## **Youth Futures Programme** At the Jamie Horrocks Trust, we believe that supporting the wellbeing of young people is vital for building stronger, healthier communities. Good mental health in early life lays the foundations for resilience, confidence, and future success. Through the appointment of our Youth Well-being lead and programmes, we offer safe spaces, positive activities, and tailored support to empower young people, build emotional fitness and promote a culture where it’s always okay to ask for help. We recognise this is area that can significantly improve our prevention offer, creating early interventions for young people before they reach crisis point. By investing in their wellbeing today, we are helping to protect and nurture the futures of our community’s young people. 7 ## **Connecting Youth and the wider community** The appointment of an ad-hoc project lead has also enabled the Trust to expand our partnership work with Salford Youth/Leisure services and successful application for grants to deliver the community orchard and grief/loss school project, update all policies and procedures and supporting the development of strong partnership with Cadishead community hall. ## **Learning outcomes for 2024-25** During 24/25 the trustee’s wanted a stronger focus on creating a longerterm sustainability plan for the Trust. It has been recognised that progress in this area has been limited, due to capacity and the timecommitments required to run youth-hub programme. This will continue to an on-going priority for trustee’s; it has been agreed that a draft proposal will be presented by end of the financial year 2026, with a focus on bringing **Future Plans (2025-2026)** - ➢ By end of March 2026, a draft sustainability plan will be presented to trustees. - ➢ We will continue to work with key partners to identify how we can improve the support for young people impacted by mental fitness at an earlier stage, delivering interventions to improve life outcomes. - ➢ Understand how we can improve the support for those bereaved by suicide, working with those impacted by suicide. - ➢ Explore options of establishing a base for JHT, providing a more secure physical space to deliver services. ## **With special thanks** The trustees would like to take the time to thank the many individuals and organisations that continue to support the Trust, without this we wouldn’t be able to deliver our services to the local community. 8 ## **Partnership working - Lad’s Den** Thank you to the three individual’s Simon Taylor, Tom Cole and Mawuli Amesu who work so hard to deliver the weekly Lad’s Den, making a fundamental difference to men’s mental fitness, and their families. ## **Youth Wellbeing Hub – Salford Youth and Leisure Services** At the start of 2024, the Trust commenced partnership work with Greater Manchester Police, building on the Reform work created by James Byrnes. This partnership has been instrumental in the expansion of place based/out-reach work, and grown from strength to strength over the last 12 months: Salford Youth Service Team, Salford Leisure Services and JHT volunteers. ## **Volunteers and fundraisers** A special thank all the volunteers who support us at events across the year and raising our profile across social platforms.

This report reviews what the charity has planned, delivered and outcomes achieved for the year ending 31 March 2025. The trustees report the success of each key activity; the benefits the charity has brought to the groups of people it is set up to help and ensure the charity aims; objectives and activities remain focuses on its stated purposes. Four of the trustees: Dave Pike, David Horrocks, Paul Horrocks and Tammy Pike are founder members of the Trust. Trustees will usually serve for a term of three years (David Horrocks and Paula Horrocks were appointed on five-year appointments), after this term they may put themselves forward for re-appointment, subject to a review and approval from other Trustees. In 2023 we appointed three new independent trustees, they were appointed on three years term of office. These individuals have brought new skills and insight to the Trust, assisting us to expand our offer under more robust scrutiny. At the start of 2024, we were in the fortunate position that one of the Trustees (Tammy Pike) took a career break. It was proposed and agreed, by the independent Trustee’s, it would be in the Trust’s best interest to focus on developing the Trust’s presence, outreach development: focusing on grant project proposals and delivery. 12 ## Jamie Horrocks Trust Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2025 ## **Financial review** ## Total income Over 24/25 we have remained financially stable, we have seen increase demand in our youth provision, for the most disadvantaged with the increase in food poverty, greater risks of exposure to domestic violence, drug use and criminal exploitation. While our income our income has grown, we still do not have a consistent, guaranteed annual income and we must work continuously to apply for new sources of funding. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity implement and our plans will need a more robust financial stability plan, and this is a focus for trustees for the coming year. The majority of the charity’s funds come from external fundraising, with applications to grant making organisations (restricted funds £13,518), this means that the funding must be spent in line with the agreements of the organisation’s allocating the grant. ## **Principal risks and uncertainties** Financial sustainability remains a key risk, given its dependency on fundraising income. The financial position is kept under scrutiny, through regular review of the accounts and monitoring of the charity’s pipeline of potential and actual grant/funding applications. Ensuring the wellbeing of a such a small team to deliver the workload is also a key area on the trustee’s agenda. More will be done in the refreshed strategy to address this. ## **Reserves policy and going concern** The trustees are committed to generating sufficient funds to support current organisational activities to meet the following requirements: • Safeguarding the charity’s service commitment in the event of delays in receipt of fundraising, grants or other income. • Providing a financial cushion against risk and future uncertainties. The Trust has established a reserve policy of £15,000 this would ensure that we can continue to deliver our established services for a 12-month period, this will be reviewed annually. With the majority of the charity’s funds coming from fundraising, this requires on-going work to ensure a pipeline of publicity and promotion to raise awareness and encourage participation. 13 Work to raise funds for both core costs and future project work remains a priority for the trustees. Whilst the external environment to secure funding remains very challenging, based on the track record of the charity’s delivery the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity remains a going concern for twelve months from signing these accounts. In the worst-case scenario so in the absence of sufficient funds, the charity’s contingency plan would be to contract and regrow. No trustees receive renumeration for their Trustee duties. During 2024/25 it was agreed, by independent trustees, it would be in the Trust’s best interest for Tammy Pike to be renumerated for her services in relation to ad-hoc project delivery work when costed and covered by grant applications. Monitoring of project delivery is reviwed via independent trustees. ## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees** The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with charitable accounting standards Charitable standards require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website and observe the methods and principles in the Charities guidance provided by the Charity Commission. Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 March 2024 was 7. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on David Pike Chair 14 ## Appendix 1 Financial Report March- April 2024-2025 |**Income Notes**|**Unrestricted**|**Restricted**|**Total 2024/5 **|**Total 2023/4 **| |---|---|---|---|---| |**Voluntary Fundraising**||||| |Just-givingPage|5,860||5,860|9,504| |Fundraisingevents(not through JG)|2,254||2,254|2,029| ||**Grants Received**|||| |Grants: Salford CVS 1|-|13,518|13,518|10,475| |Grants
