illness that can be treated but not spiritual or demonic forces operating in the individual as such the stigma is being reduced.

The trustees are qualified mental health professionals and those who provide the support are from their own profession and work colleagues with free time to support the organisation to meet the needs of the beneficiaries. Therefore, the support volunteers are highly qualified mental health professionals dedicated to the cause of the organisation.

Trustees has agreed with the organisations for monthly updates about their activities in relation to the management of processes and how it is benefitting to those with mental health issues to access the service. The organisation also will visit regularly, preferably yearly to monitor progress based on the monthly report received and on the scene information. The risk is mitigated has all those involved are professionals and the organisations involved are well established with good internal oversight by government department and the publicity in the local and national media also will reduce risk.

Trustees are aware of the charity commission guidance in respect of the safeguarding duties and reviewed its requirements and they agreed that this guidance will be complied with and they will keep records of their related decisions and activities in line with the guidance.

Volunteers

Without the selflessness, hardwork and dedication of our volunteers we couldn’t have achieved our aims and objectives. The volunteers contribute greatly to the running of the charityand enbles it to fulfil its objectives. We would therefore like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our charity the lively and vibrant community it is. The valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise of the Charity members has helped the charity and community to achieve so much and this is well appreciated.

Financial Review

The book values of the assets held at the year-end are, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, as stated in the financial statements. Our principal source of funds comes from the generous donations of committed members and from organizations that have the same objectives and passion for mental health like us. Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £12,000 of which £11,028 was spent to promote the charitable activities.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have identified the need for reserves to be held as developing a reserves policy will assist in strategic planning such as in considering how new projects or future activities will be funded. To ensure sustainability and continuity of funding future activities, the trustees plan to have unrestricted funds to cover at least 3 months of unrestricted payments. This policy will be reviewed regularly to meet the charitable needs of the organization.

Investment Policy

The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit. The charity's investment policy is appropriate to the nature of the funds for which the investment is held. The primary investment aim is to provide a high degree of security and liquidity and to maximise returns whilst adopting a conservative approach.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The organisation is working closely with the mental health organisations overseas including psychiatric hospitals, media and other community associations to raise the awareness of mental health and address the stigma by organising training for the existing staff in the psychiatric hospitals and mental health organisations to improve their knowledge and attitude to the mental health patient. The organisation also has started meeting the media oversea to raise the awareness and to dispel the idea that mental health is demonic and it cannot be healed but to show them that it is illness and with right attitude, resources and process, they can cured from the mental health problems.

Pandemic

Since 2017, Besstel has developed a keen interest in developing a service model that could support the BAME population with mental and emotional health difficulties but with poor access to primary support. This project therefore marked Besstel’s introduction into service delivery to support the large BAME community in South London with mental and emotional health difficulties.

As part of the planning phase, Besstel undertook a large exploratory community engagement project with several BAME community groups and hubs particularly churches and social groupings (such as national and special interest associations) as well as with individuals.

Our explorative background research identified distinctive strands of mental and emotional health difficulties across the older and younger cohorts. Within the older adult cohort the key issues relate to anxiety, depression, panic attacks, worry management issues, irritability, selfharm and suicidal ideation.

Among the young cohort, there was extensive evidence of issues relating to eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-harm, self-esteem, confidence and self-worth.

The episodes of mental and emotional ill health was exacerbated by the onset of Covid-19 in March 2020 following the extensive lockdown which disproportionately affected the BAME communities. Besstel took the opportunity to support the community.

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions provided by the Charity Commission. The examination includes a review of the books and documents and other accounting records kept by the charity and comparing these with the accounts presented.

Our examination also includes consideration of any unusual disclosures or items in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees.

Our report is therefore limited to the statements below:
