## **ANNUAL REPORT BY THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES** 

We continued leading our Shine Courses and Drop Ins now running in Cirencester, Swindon and Dursley. We have been able to support 331 new Mothers and babies from our six venues, with two courses running from Cirencester, three from Swindon and one from Dursley. Our Drop ins were able to reach approximately 20 Mums at each venue. We have been working closely with the perinatal teams offering early intervention and support to Mums who don't quite reach the criteria of the team,  also Mums who are being supported by the perinatal team. We have also continued to receive referrals from Health Visitors, Midwives, GPs, Social prescribers, word of mouth via Social media and our website and other Charitable organisations. 

Shine PND Support continues to work  with the Hearts and Mind Partnership, an establishing charity creating a map of perinatal community services, also with the intention of helping new up and coming charities and organisations. We also continued our work with NHS focus groups encouraging Shine Mums to join monthly meetings as a chance for their voices to be heard, connecting with Maternity Voices via surveys and seminars. We work closely with various charities across Gloucestershire and Swindon including The Churn Project, Nelsons Trust, Homestart, GL11 Community Hub, signposting and co referring enabling multi layer support.

## **ANNUAL REPORT BY THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES (continued)** 

We began this year in a strong position. Our income was excellent, Workshops full,  Drop ins for Mums had become genuinely successful and helpful. With new funding opportunities coming to fruition we have been able to secure our two most valuable Swindon Venues plus Drop Ins for 3 years. This is an incredible opportunity to move forward and work on improving our services within this multi cultural and highly diverse area. Our Board of Trustees consisted of skilled and committed people, to whom I am so incredibly grateful. We are lucky to welcome two new Trustees with deep understanding and valuable experience in the charity sector. 

We know from monitoring, using the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, surveys and testimonials from Mums that we have been able to provide real help to, and improve the lives of, many families. Our work has a positive impact, not just on mothers but on the children of women with Post Natal Depression. 

Our website has continued to offer a range of support opportunities with many new Mums contacting us having found us online, interested in joining our courses or Drop Ins. We have also been approached by artists offering their creativity and volunteers offering their time.  We are now looking into a new Shine opening and running in Gloucester with the Perinatal Team and health visitors keen to be able to refer new Mums in the area. This is very exciting for the charity going forward! 

Fran Embleton Smith _(Chair)_ 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

A successful Year with regards to financial security. We continued with our funding from Barnwood Trust, year 2 of our three year funding for Cirencester. We also received funding from the Schroder Trust, St James Place, NHS Gloucestershire, Wilts Community Fund and Allen Lane. We also enjoyed a wonderful Fund raiser with 30 Mums taking part in a Shine Fire Walk! With match funding approved with the Big Give we raised over £10,000! We had been working on a bid with Big Lottery Reaching Communities for our Swindon Shine and received the incredible news that we were successful in our application!

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of SHINE PND Support** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Shine PND Support ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2024 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that, other than the issue already brought to the Trustees attention with regard to the Drop In account, no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**SHINE PND Support (Registered Charity No. 1185585) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024** 

## 1. GOING CONCERN 

The Trustees have reviewed the anticipated performance of the charity for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and concluded that there is no material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due, and to continue as a going concern. On this basis the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Since the income of the charity is less than £250,000, and is unlikley to exceed this figure in the next two years, the Trustees have adopted the  'receipts and payments' basis for the preparation of the accounts. 

## 3. INVESTMENT POLICY 

The Charity's Charity Business Account is now being transferred to a Charity Account. 

## 4. RESERVES POLICY 

Total reserves rose by £8,412 during the year while free reserves rose from £15,850 to £16,098. The Trustee's policy on reserves is to maintain sufficient free reserves to cover salary and other fixed costs for a minimum of one month. This requirement is met. The Trustees have considered the likely/known income streams and the expected costs of operation in a normal year and are confident that the Charity will be sufficently well funded to operate for the next financial year 

## 5. ASSETS POLICY 

The Charity holds no significant capital assets. Should it become necessary to acquire assets in the future, a policy regarding capitalisation, depreciation and replacement will be developed. 

## 6. DROP IN ACCOUNT* 

The Charity maintains a bank account for the activities of  its "Drop In" Facilities.
