TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The trustees present their report and the examined financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2024.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Governance and Management

Mothers for Mothers began work as a voluntary organisation in January 1981. It was originally registered as a charity on 10 July 1992 (1012642). The original charity's funds and assets were gifted to the successor charitable company which has taken on the charitable activities.

A charitable company limited by guarantee was incorporated on 6 November 2013 registered as a charity on 12 September 2019. On 1st April 2020 the charity began to operate under the new charity number: 1185281 . The organisation is a company limited by guarantee and registered charity.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association that establishes the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

Method of Recruiting and Appointing Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as the Board of the Board of Trustees. Under the requirement of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, members of the Board of Trustees are elected to serve for a period of two years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

Organisational structure

Mothers for Mothers has a Board of Trustees who meet at least once a quarter and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present, the Board of Trustees has eleven members from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity.

A staffing structure with clear line management is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services rest with the CEO. The CEO is also responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met.

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees is legally responsible for ensuring that the organisation is adequately resourced, and that financial procedures and controls are effective and in place.

Where it is appropriate, systems or procedures have been established or amended to mitigate the risks that the charity faces.

Objectives and Activities

The Company’s objectives: The charitable purposes of the company are:

(a) the advancement of mental health for mothers, particularly through the care of those suffering from emotional or psychiatric disorder or mental illness associated with pregnancy and childbirth and those affected by their conditions, including their children, spouses, partners and other family members, and

(b) the advancement and promotion of high standards of education and care in all matters concerning emotional or psychiatric disorder or mental illness associated with pregnancy and childbirth.

The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities Mothers for Mothers should undertake.

Review of main achievements and activities during the year

Since 1981 Mothers for Mothers has supported families affected by maternal mental illness (PMH) across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. We offer support to women during pregnancy and until their youngest child attends school, from illness to wellness, through our support services: Reach helpline/support calls, Home Visiting, Art Psychotherapy and Counselling, Peer Support Groups/Antenatal Groups/Dads Groups and SEND support.

Our services are delivered by women with lived experience of perinatal mental illness. We aim to achieve the following outcomes for the women and families we work with:

Improved confidence, resilience and relationships with children and family, leading to faster recovery.
Improving children's emotional development by supporting mothers to be sensitive and responsive in their relationships with their children.
Reduced social isolation and improved social and support networks.
More awareness of perinatal mental illness (PMH) and the support available
Improved care and services for maternal mental illness.

During the accounting period, to deliver the above services Mothers for Mothers has employed 15 members of staff.

Mothers for Mothers has trained and supported a team of volunteers to include student placements. During this accounting period Mothers for Mothers has received Pro Bono Support from The Cranfield Trust and has used Staple Hill, Hartcliffe, Clevedon, Oldmixon and Patchway Family Hubs for 2 hours per week free of charge.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

In the reporting year Mother for Mothers has supported 792 families. Of these families 117 received 782 home visits, 85 received 506 sessions of Art Psychotherapy or Counselling, 228 attended 270 peer support group session, 30 accessed SEND support and 32 attended 40 sessions of Antenatal support. In addition to these, 3061 helpline calls were responded to, 6407 support calls were made and there were 9382 instances of SMS/DM support. We also have a closed group with 1114 members.

Brief statement of the Charity’s policy on reserves

Funds to deliver the services are raised from statutory funding, grants, foundations and trusts, fundraising events and donations.

In order to meet future plans we have secured funding to ensure our continued effectiveness and sustainability by increasing leadership capacity and strengthening key functions with the charity to underpin an expansion in service delivery to meet the significant increases in demand we have experienced over recent years.

General Funds £3,087 Designated Funds: Staff Contingency Reserves £20,773 3 months running costs £125,000 Staff restructure and development £50,000

Staff Contingency Reserve

This fund represents the costs of making all staff redundant based on staffing levels and years employed as of the 1st April 2024. It is good practice and a reasonable mitigation of risk by the Trustees to ensure that redundancy costs are earmarked to protect the rights or staff and the legal obligations of the Charity should a situation arise where this was deemed necessary.

3 months running costs

In accordance with Mothers for Mothers reserves policy this fund is held in reserves to cover interruption to normal operating activities. The level is based on 3 months' budgeted core operating costs for the following financial year.

Staff restructure and development:

We have a core team of 15 full and part time lived experience staff who are skilled, well trained and well supported. By the nature of year-to-year funding from grants and foundations, and from local authorities, we need to ensure that we are able to provide security and retain this rich talent resource in the event of a longer than ideal transition between funders. There is significant work and investment into recruiting, training and supporting good quality staff who are able to work from their lived experience in a trauma informed way with the complexity and intersecting needs we see at Mothers for Mothers. Uncertainty relating to employment could be a huge risk to us as a charity. We also need to ensure we are able to provide competitive salary increases and have capacity to match potential increases to NHS and local authority equivalent roles given changes in the political climate. This is heightened due to the ICB procurement process which will remove funding for one of core services.

MOTHERS FOR MOTHERS

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

It is important that the Trustees mitigate against this risk by holding funds in a staff restructure and development fund which would allow us to retain staff and make changes as needed to service delivery which do not have a negative impact upon the families that we support. The sum held is £50,000 which represents the funding needed for 5 months for one of our core services.

These funds – plus the additional funds we are accumulating this year – are to protect our position, our services and our staff – to enable us to provide the Board with a budget that can ensure business as usual moving forward into 25/26.

Plans for the Future

The year 24/25 will see the introduction of the first Senior Leadership Team composed of the CEO role, plus a Business Manager and Operations Manager funded by the National Lottery. This will increase the capacity of the organisation to match the unplanned growth and demand for services that has arisen during and following the pandemic and as a result of changes within our local system and to the perinatal mental health pathway. We intend to build on capacity and begin work to diversify income streams. There will also be a move to a new premises in a well resourced community building providing a psychological safe environment for families and staff, and better resourced therapy and office spaces.

We will continue to support approximately 800 families a year through our core support services and discreet projects. We will continue our National work with the Tommy’s National Centre for Maternity Improvement and the Bristol Trials Unit. As a number of our funding streams will be coming to an end we will concentrate on raising funds for our core services and will take part in the ICB procurement process for the perinatal mental health non-statutory community redesign.

Funds Received as Agent or Funds Held as Custodian Trustee

There are no assets, classes of assets or categories of assets held on behalf of other entities.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees who are also the charity trustees have prepared financial statements for the financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net online income or expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Trustees has fulfilled the requirements set out by the SORP Accounting for Charities, which are as follows:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP.
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

1 Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charitable company is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 and has therefore taken the advantage of the disclosure exemption available to it in relation to presentation of a cash flow statement.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial Instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Pensions costs

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
