Trustees’ Report for 2021
This report is for the Charity’s financial year 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2021.
In 2021 the Trustees and Members of Openmind.Ed CIO (“the Charity”) were:
-
Chair: Luke Menzies
-
Trustee and CEO: Clare Short
-
Trustee and Secretary: Robin Herbert
-
Trustee and Treasurer: Isabel de Salis
The Charity, a CIO, is governed by its Constitution as approved by the Charity Commission. The Charity operates on a simple and informal basis, run by its board of trustees. It delivered its charitable activities (services to clients) during 2021 through the voluntary work of its CEO, Treasurer and Secretary and several fee-paid Associates.
The Charity is governed and managed through periodic trustee meetings and occasional less formal meetings, including peer supervision discussions. The CEO leads on matters of policy and direction. Financial affairs are handled by the Treasurer and governance oversight provided by the Chair. The Secretary is responsible for correspondence and records of trustee meetings. All management and administrative activities are carried out by the trustees. No new trustees were recruited during the year and the Charity has not yet developed a recruitment or appointment policy for new trustees.
The Charity’s work focusses on undertaking and funding activities to promote good mental health and wellbeing amongst those in Education, with a current focus on school students and university students in Bristol. This includes working with school staff, students and their parents. The work includes facilitation of reflective practice groups, running workshops, providing one-to-one mentoring, speaking at school assemblies and holding discussion sessions with parents of students. In addition, the Charity provides occasional funding to small projects aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing of young persons.
The main achievements of the Charity in 2021 were:
-
Recruitment of more Associate members of the team, who are able to provide one-to-one supervision to pastoral staff in secondary schools and also to deliver well-being programmes to the Bristol University medical faculty.
-
Commencing delivery of consultations to schools and families, especially in circumstances where there is an issue with the young person’s attendance or ability to access the curriculum. This aspect of our service delivery has required service level agreements with schools and families, including consent.
The Charity was able to achieve its intended public benefit through its delivery of the above activities, on the basis that these activities directly relate to the Charity’s charitable objectives. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The Charity’s plans for the future are to continue its current work. This includes engaging more Associates to expand the Charity’s work and hiring assistance for its administrative tasks.
Financial
In financial terms, the Charity received income of £20,731 through donations and client fees. Expenditure was £10,244, resulting in a surplus of £10,487. There were no creditors or debtors at year end.
There were no material risks or uncertainties worthy of note.
The Charity’s principal source of fundings are client fees from the educational institutions it works with; donations from private individuals; and donations from other organisations. There are no restricted funds and the Charity’s policy is not to accept any restricted funds.
The Charity does not employ any person on a PAYE basis, and has no current plans to do so. Its Associates engaged to assist in the delivery of the Charity’s services are engaged on a self-employed, fee-paid basis.
The Charity has no reserves policy and no plan to accumulate substantial reserves. No funds were held by any custodian trustee.
