Telford Mind Annual Report 2023-2024
Overview
Telford Mind has been established for over thirty years and provides a wide range of invaluable services for people with mental health issues within Telford and Wrekin. The services we provide has increased significantly and ranges from Listening support, Calm Cafes and Social Prescribing.
Telford Mind continues to go from strength to strength, with an increase in the number of services we deliver, our staffing numbers and during this reporting period we have seen the introduction of the following new services:
-
Perinatal Mental Health Social Prescribing- December 2023
-
Wellbeing Whilst Waiting (Children and Young People)- December 2023
Demand for our services continues to be strong. We are consistently supporting individuals in crisis and have seen a notable rise in referrals from statutory services. We believe this reflects the strong relationships and collaborative partnerships we've built with a variety of statutory agencies.
The Chief Executive Officer and Operations Manager met with the newly appointed VCS Engagement and Partnership Lead for Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. This gave us the opportunity to promote the work we do at Telford Mind and discuss ways in which we can work closer together and help discuss some of the challenges that we are all facing.
Senior Management attended the Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) Meeting which focused on shaping the Integrated Care System (ICS) Strategic Direction. The aim of the meeting was to provide a framework for identifying consistency or diversity of opinion around some key strategic choices that the ICS will need to make and develop in the implementation of their strategic plans.
The CEO attended a session on the newly introduced Dynamic Procurement System (DPS). The purpose of the DPS is to ensure that available Community Mental Health Transformation funding is distributed appropriately and the process for fund allocation is transparent. The session was delivered by MPFT Community Mental Health Transformation Leads. Following the meeting we have completed the initial registration for the DPS.
During the reporting period our Social Prescribing service was showcased, by the Service Delivery Manager (Public Health Team T&W,) at Telford & Wrekin Integrated Place Partnership meeting (TWIPP) as part of the “Living Well” priority. Partnership (TWIPP) is a place-based approach which ensures delivery of the Borough’s priorities using a truly integrated, asset based local approach focusing on early detection, prevention and early resolution.
Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Social Prescribing services were presented at the System Quality Group by the Personalised Care Programme Manager for the ICS. This was a great opportunity to showcase the success of our social prescribing service.
The CYP Social Prescribing team provided a “Managing our Emotions” activity at Crucial Crew which ran for three weeks, organised by Telford and Wrekin Council. Crucial Crew is a fun
Telford Mind Annual Report 2023-2024
educational event to give young people the knowledge to keep themselves safe before making the step up to secondary school. This year over 2,3000 Year 6 pupils from over 50 schools took part. This is the first time we have supported this event and was a great way to promote our younger people services and support.
The Operations’ Manager attended a COG review meeting, facilitated by Lloyds Bank. The aim of the facilitated session was to gather experience and input from Telford COG members to inform the future plans and strategies for the VSCE infrastructure support in Telford & Wrekin. The session enabled attendees to look at the opportunities and challenges that we all face, reflecting on the strengths and successes to build on, and identifying how best to fulfill the group’s ambitions.
From the 01[st] April 2023 – 31[st] March 2024, we have seen a total of 1875 new service users. This figure does not include those who are already accessing our service/services. Many of these new service users will also access more than one of our services/projects.
In order to ensure the wellbeing of the team, staff and management continue to receive regular clinical supervision (every 4-6 weeks). Clinical supervision has been shown to support workers during challenging times, by reducing burnout, enhancing mental health and wellbeing at work, and improving job satisfaction.
We have also developed our volunteering opportunities to support projects such as our Listening line and Calm Café.
In order to gain feedback from staff and look forward to the strategic vision of the organisation, we held a staff away day on 13th July at Enginuity. The event was attended by staff, Senior Management Team, Trustees and Mind representatives.
The objectives were:
-
To get to know each other better.
-
To remind ourselves why we are here – Individually & Telford Mind
-
To agree on joint values and aims
-
To work together
-
To start to move forward and plan for success.
The day was a great success, and we collectively completed a SWOT analysis and created our values.
The CEO, Operations Manager, Trustees attended the Mind “Next Chapters” event that was held in Warwick. The themes from the event were:
-
Refreshing the Strategy
-
Unlocking the Potential of Federation First
-
Reviewing Federation Values and Behaviours
-
• Reviewing Vision and Purpose
The event gave the opportunity to network with other local Mind’s and contribute to the development of the Federation First approach.
Telford Mind Annual Report 2023-2024
As part of the Safer Stronger Partnership, we provided a series of Mental Health Awareness workshops at Dawley Youth Club. These were delivered twice a month, and the subjects were selected by the young people that attend youth club.
We have recently joined the Shropshire Forces Operational Group. The group meets monthly by Teams and has representatives from Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. The group aims to support members of the Armed Forces community to access services and support that are best suited to their needs. This is undertaken in a collaborative approach ensuring that those with complex needs are not missed and are supported appropriately.
Telford Mind continues to strengthen, expand, and build new partnerships, firmly embedding itself within the Telford and Wrekin community. Thanks to the dedication of our team and effective collaborative working, we have become the leading mental health charity in Telford.

We received formal notification on 22nd November 2023 that we had been awarded the Mind Quality Mark.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TELFORD MIND
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Telford Mind ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
