THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT

The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of The Taigh Mor Foundation (“the Foundation”), a charitable incorporated organisation, for the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution

The Foundation was incorporated on 19 August 2019 with charity number 1184933. The Foundation was registered with the Office for the Scottish Charity Regulator on 22 September 2020. The Foundation is governed by its Constitution.

Trustees

In accordance with the Foundation’s constitution there shall be a minimum of three and a maximum of nine trustees. The Board comprised eight trustees in the reporting period. The names of four of the trustees are withheld in accordance with formal dispensations as required by section 10(3) of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 1995.

Trustees may appoint another or other trustees at their discretion by resolution at a properly convened meeting of the Foundation’s trustees. An agreed selection process for new trustees is conducted and recommendations are proposed for the board’s ratification.

The Foundation’s financial year runs from 1 July to 30 June and the trustees meet at least four times a year to oversee the strategy, policies, governance and investments of the Foundation. The day-today running of the Foundation is delegated to the trustee-led Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Operational Board, made up of both paid and unpaid volunteers. The Foundation awards grants to eligible beneficiary organisations and pays directly for services to achieve its purpose of assisting, promoting and protecting the health of beneficiaries, providing relief to beneficiaries who are in need because of ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage and promoting efficiency of the armed forces of the Crown and Crown servants.

Risk Management

The trustees regularly review the risks to which the Foundation is exposed and the systems which have been established to mitigate them. The principal risks include loss of confidence in the beneficiary community, loss of income from donors and reputational damage through failure to ensure compliance with changes in legislation and regulations.

OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

Objects

The objects of the Foundation are for the public benefit to assist, promote and protect the health of beneficiaries by:

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Foundation. As well as ensuring that all trustees undertake regular self-training in all aspects of being a good trustee and that new trustees are required to work through the Trustee Welcome Pack provided by the Charity Commission.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Review of Activities

THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT

HOW WE ARE HELPING PEOPLE

Understand

The Foundation continues to fund two in-house psychologists and contracts a research psychologist for 1.5 days per week. The Foundation has funded several research projects over this reporting year.

Help

Professional Support

Funding allocated for one clinical and one sports psychologist to augment the Human Performance Programme has been reallocated to fund additional outpatient psychotherapy provision.

Digital

The Foundation has committed to fund individual licences for digital therapeutics including Headspace and Sleepio.

The Foundation continues to work with DNA Definitive, in-house psychologists, wellbeing leads and operational teams to tailor the BASICS of Resilience package - a bespoke digital resilience and energy performance programme. This went live in March 2021 and is available to beneficiaries and their families via the internet and through internal intranet systems.

Workshops

Face-to-face workshops have been held with key beneficiary groups, including padres and wellbeing leads with the core focus being the DNA Definitive BASICS of Resilience programme. The workshops were held at our Place to Stay in North Wales and lasted for three days. The current format works well but can serve only a small section of our beneficiary community. We need to make sure that those who attend have reach back into their organisations. We also need to work out how to make it scalable. Feedback was hugely positive:

“Content was good, well received and adds to our existing offering. The detail, particularly the scientific backing for good H&W advice, goes down well with our community”

“Good advice for wellbeing practitioners when advising clients as well as for personal use”

“The lessons learned will endure beyond the end of a break and that will have impact in everyday life with ongoing benefits”

The Foundation continues to work in partnership with world renowned sleep expert Professor Colin Espie from Oxford University. Professor Espie and his colleague Dimitri Gavriloff delivered a two-day online sleep workshop to 50 in-house healthcare professionals, enabling them to learn new skills which they can impart to a wide section of our beneficiary community. In the next reporting year Professor Espie will deliver further workshops. Feedback was unanimously positive:

“Very helpful background understanding of why there are issues sleeping and how some coping mechanisms become more destructive rather than helpful”

“It was the most fascinating workshop I have been on. Colin and Dimitri explained things in easy-tounderstand ways and as such made me really engaged for the two days”

“I learned so much about how sleep has such a huge impact on a person’s overall wellbeing and learnt how people can try to address some of these issues. So much good stuff to use with my clients”

THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT

“All in all, absolutely brilliant two days and I feel so privileged to have been able to attend”

The Foundation are funding a Horticultural Therapy pilot project for 18 beneficiaries. If successful we envisage rolling it out at other locations across the UK. Feedback has been positive.

“I didn’t know what to expect from a therapeutic perspective, but as soon as I arrived, I felt myself immediately start to relax and it was like a load had been taken off. The location and set up is so serene and well designed, it immediately brings a sense of calm. I’m really feeling the benefits of the time spent there and it has inspired me to do more growing at home too”

“I have absolutely loved the first few sessions on the Horticultural Therapy programme. The team are so warm and welcoming, putting everyone immediately at ease. They are so knowledgeable and inspiring and their enthusiasm for growing, and horticulture is completely infectious. I can’t wait to see my seeds grow and enjoy the produce”

The Foundation worked with other charities to provide IT equipment and internet connectivity to beneficiaries relocating to the UK

Places to Stay

The Foundation significantly expanded its Places to Stay programme in this reporting year, with the addition of a hamlet of five cottages on an estate in South West Scotland. The cottages have been leased for 10-20 years and the Foundation worked with the owner to uplift them to a standard suitable for our beneficiary community. At full capacity the cottages can house 20 beneficiaries per night and are ideal for allowing families the opportunity to reconnect. Three of the cottages are all ability access. Activities will develop further, but include working on the large allotment, nature watching, forestry, fishing, deer feeding and yoga. The hamlet opened in May 2022 and by the end of the reporting period was regularly providing respite breaks for five families, often at maximum occupancy.

The Foundation’s Places to Stay portfolio now has properties in North Wales, North Yorkshire, the West Highlands, South West Scotland, and Dorset, providing 32 rooms with a maximum occupancy of 54.

6

THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT

Visits to the Island restarted in July 2021. All weeks allocated to the Foundation have been filled.

Feedback across the Places to Stay portfolio remains strong:

Never underestimate the value of being given the opportunity to breathe”

“Freedom from pressure, freedom from responsibility, freedom from routine, freedom of thought and choice. Freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted and how I wanted “.

“Having a feeling of care being wrapped around the whole family”

“I have been maintaining a mental health diary, with positive reflections for a change. As I am talking to you, I’m smiling, I have been smiling all week, I haven’t smiled this much in twelve months and that is what this has meant to me”

“Loved having space and freedom and being totally cared for”

“An invaluable gift for our future relationship”

“Completely recharged” - enjoyed not thinking just doing - “focusing on self not work”

“I hadn’t seen my partner for eleven months (I am posted overseas) and a week in Dorset was the perfect way to reconnect, relax and recuperate after a trying year: it certainly achieved the aim of “keeping the well - well”. I will undoubtedly be returning to work overseas feeling refreshed and in a better frame of mind”

“We were able to reflect on the past and make plans for the future and prepare to live together full time once again”

“This week has given us everything we wanted and everything we didn’t realise we needed – we feel restored, revived and ready to this the ground running again”

The Foundation remains on target to reach the 2024 ambition of being able to provide 100 beneficiaries per week a Place to Stay. It continues to grow at a rate that both the Foundation and beneficiary organisations can sustain.

The Foundation funded respite breaks for 160 beneficiaries returning from overseas in September 2021 to allow them to reconnect with their families.

The Foundation provided funding to house a team of 25 beneficiaries in a single property in July 2021. This is outside of the usual Places to Stay programme, in recognition that the team has been under extreme pressure over the last year and has lost one of their number to Covid.

The TMF Reps team has been further augmented with a new contractor in South West Scotland.

STAKEHOLDERS AND BENEFICIARIES

The full-time slot dedicated to promoting the work of the Foundation within the beneficiary community, which had been funded by the Foundation for two years was taken into the core and is

7

THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT

now funded by central government. This position has been further augmented with a support officer, demonstrating the value that the organisations place in the partnership with the Foundation. Their role includes administration for the P2S programme, garnering feedback, and impact metrics.

Updated and refreshed background papers are regularly circulated to all elements of the beneficiary community.

DONORS AND FUNDRAISING

New and existing donors have pledged £3,250,000 over the next five years.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Going Concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees recognise that the Foundation 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.

The trustees continued to carefully consider the impacts of coronavirus on the Foundation, as well as possible movements in interest rates and the rate of inflation. The Foundation has two full-time employees and one part time employee and it engages the services of eight part-time contractors. The wellbeing of these staff is of utmost importance to the Foundation and it has taken necessary steps to protect them. The trustees have followed and continue to follow government advice and will monitor future developments closely.

Fundraising Practices

The Foundation relies principally on donations. It does not conduct direct mail, telephone, text, television or other kinds of fundraising.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Foundation plan to be ambitious, to grow services across all three strands of our programme activities with the intention of “touching more lives.”

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT

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 and Scotland 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 Foundation and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Foundation for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Foundation's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Foundation and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the

8

THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION TRUSTEES' REPORT

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 Foundation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Taigh Mor Foundation for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to

10

determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the

11

prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charity.

Our approach was as follows:

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

12

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charity and charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, with items initially recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to the accounts. 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are presented in sterling and amounts are rounded to the nearest pound.

Going concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the Foundation's status as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment covering a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In making this assessment, the Trustees have considered the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and future movements in the rates of interest and inflation and are satisfied that the reserves held by the Foundation justify their belief that there are no material uncertainties that cast doubt on the Foundation's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income

Income is recognised in the period in which the Foundation is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured reliably with reasonable certainty. Income is deferred only when the Foundation has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor or funder has specified that the income is to be expended in a future accounting period. Income comprises donations and bank interest.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Foundation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support costs. All expenses, including support costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. Grants are included in full in the statement of financial activities when the award has been approved and when the intended recipient has either received the funds or been informed of the decision to make the donation and has satisfied all related conditions. Grants approved, but not paid at the end of the financial year, are accrued for.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Foundation. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Foundation and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

17

THE TAIGH MOR FOUNDATION

YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Tangible fixed assets

The Foundation’s tangible fixed assets comprise computer equipment and furnishings. Computer equipment is written off over three years on a straight line basis; furnishings over three or five years, also on a straight line basis.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. Deposits in accounts requiring between thirty and ninety days’ notice have been disclosed as short-term deposits.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
