Telford Mind Annual Report 2024-2025
Overview
Telford Mind has been established for more than thirty years and continues to provide a wide range of invaluable services for people experiencing mental health challenges across Telford and Wrekin. Over recent years, the scope of our work has expanded significantly, now encompassing Listening Support, Calm Cafés, and Social Prescribing, among many other initiatives.
During this reporting period, Telford Mind has continued to grow in both scale and impact. We have increased the number of services we deliver, expanded our staff team, and introduced several new programmes, including:
-
Brookside Community Link Worker – April 2024
-
RTSS/DARD Coordinator – May 2024
-
Teenage Conception Prevention Service – July 2024
Demand for our support remains consistently high. We continue to work with individuals in crisis and have seen a notable rise in referrals from statutory services. This increase reflects the strong relationships and collaborative partnerships we have built with a wide range of agencies.
Telford Mind is firmly embedded within the Telford and Wrekin community, strengthening existing partnerships while developing new ones. Thanks to the dedication of our team and our commitment to collaborative working, we have established ourselves as the leading mental health charity in Telford.
From the 01[st] April 2024 – 31[st] March 2025, we have seen a total of 1113 new service users.

The past year has been one of continued growth, strengthened partnerships, and increased influence across community wellbeing, mental health, and veterans’ support. Strong governance, sector leadership, and collaborative working have underpinned our progress, enabling us to respond effectively to both opportunities and emerging challenges.
Telford Mind Annual Report 2024-2025
Our Trustee Away Day on 27 November 2024 provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on organisational performance, review strategic priorities, and plan for the year ahead. This collective focus ensured trustees and senior leaders remained aligned with our mission, values, and long-term sustainability.
Fundraising activity increased significantly this year, including well-supported events such as Walk the Wrekin and Defined Ridez. We were proud to secure two new corporate partnerships with R&B UK and Capgemini, enabling us to promote positive mental health in the workplace. In return, we will support both organisations across the year through events and mental health discussion workshops.
Our growing profile was further recognised through selection as Mayor of Great Dawley Town Council’s Charity of the Year and the Mayor of Madeley’s Community Award for our Green Social Prescriber.
We continued to play an active leadership role across the borough. Our Operations Manager served as Vice Chair of the Domestic Abuse Forum, sat on the Women’s Health Hub Steering Group, the Teenage Conception Steering Group, and played a pivotal role in World Suicide Prevention Day and Windrush planning events. Additional representation included participation on the Telford & Wrekin DARD Review Panel and attendance at Lloyds Bank Foundation employment planning meetings.
The year was not without its challenges. Rising operational costs present ongoing risks, including:
-
Increase in National Minimum Wage from £11.44 to £12.21
-
Increases in Employers’ National Insurance contributions
-
Rising pension contribution costs
Recruitment continued to be difficult due to increased cost of living pressures, comparatively lower sector wages, and the prevalence of fixed-term contracts. In response, we are exploring service development opportunities, including the potential to take on a Community Café, and continued collaboration through Working Together in South East Telford.
Throughout the year, Telford Mind has taken an active role in numerous community events across Telford and Wrekin. Our presence at these events has strengthened our visibility, deepened our connections with local residents, and provided valuable opportunities to raise awareness of mental health and the support we offer. Engaging directly with the community has enabled us to build trust, promote early intervention, and ensure that individuals know where to turn when they need help. These events continue to play an important part in widening our reach and reinforcing our commitment to being a truly community-focused organisation.
Overall, this year demonstrated our organisation’s resilience, adaptability, and growing influence across health, wellbeing, and community support. With strong partnerships, committed staff and trustees, and a clear strategic direction, we are well placed to continue delivering meaningful impact while navigating an increasingly challenging financial and workforce environment.
Telford Mind Annual Report 2024-2025
Achievements, Performance and Progression
This reporting period has been marked by significant achievements, steady progression, and continued resilience across Telford Mind. Despite being another busy and challenging year, it has also been one of meaningful impact and reward. Our organisation has continued to evolve, strengthen its services, and respond proactively to the growing needs of our community, demonstrating both our commitment and our capacity to deliver high-quality mental health support.
Support for the Armed Forces community continued to go from strength to strength. Our Veterans’ Cafés were successfully rebranded as Armed Forces Community Cafés, reflecting our commitment to supporting veterans while also welcoming the wider community. Cafés continue to run twice monthly in Dawley and twice monthly in Donnington, supported through continued Cllr Pride Fund funding.
We worked collaboratively with Great Dawley Town Council and Telford & Wrekin Council to develop a new Armed Forces logo, supported consultations around the proposed Armed Forces Hub, and contributed to Armed Forces Coordinator interviews. Representation at monthly Battleback sessions also ensured continued engagement with specialist recovery pathways.
A key highlight was the visit from Al Carns, supported by the local MP, Shaun Davies, which showcased joint working with Telford & Wrekin Council and allowed veterans to share first-hand experiences of the impact of our support:
“Life can be challenging for those leaving military service and we are determined to offer the best support we can for those who put themselves in harm’s way on our behalf.” Throughout the year we delivered and supported a wide range of community engagement and learning opportunities, including:
-
Time to Talk Day event (6 February)
-
Working Together in South East Telford events (25 March)
-
Line Dancing Taster Sessions to support social connection
-
Understanding Mental Health, Self-Care and Support training delivered on 14 May for community groups and volunteers
Staff accessed high-quality funded training including ASSIST, Motivational Interviewing, and Exploitation Awareness, alongside participation in LSP2 workshops covering marketing and engagement, confident communication styles, finance for non-finance managers, and leading high-performance teams. Investment in staff development was further demonstrated by Gemma commencing Level 5 Apprenticeship Management Training in September 2024.
We welcomed several high-profile visits that highlighted the impact of our work, including Dame Angela Leadsom on 18 April as part of the Family Hub funding programme, strengthening relationships at a national level.
As we reflect on this year’s achievements, performance, and progression, it is clear that Telford Mind continues to move forward with purpose and determination.
Telford Mind Annual Report 2024-2025
Service Provision
During this reporting period, the areas of service provision at Telford Mind include the following areas:
Listening Service
The Listening Support Phone line provides support for those who are in emotional distress, struggling to cope or need to talk. By calling our mainline individuals can gain ‘in the moment’ support such as signposting or advice or they can refer themselves for Listening support sessions. Listening support sessions take place on a weekly basis for around 4-6 sessions.
Calm Café
The Calm Cafes provide support and safety to people aged 18+ who are finding themselves in a crisis or who are in need or support with their emotional/mental health to prevent a crisis. The Calm Café is a partnership project between Telford Mind and Telford & Wrekin Council Mental Health Social Work Team. We are also supported by A Better Tomorrow to provide tailored support within the Café setting.
Dual Diagnosis Café
The Dual Diagnosis Calm Cafes provide a platform for social interaction, mental health and wellbeing and substance misuse support. We provide support and safety to anyone in need by offering coping mechanisms and management techniques to help reduce the risk of crisis. The Dual Diagnosis Calm Cafés are delivered by Telford Mind, Telford After Care Team, A Better Tomorrow and Telford & Wrekin Council.
Armed Forces Community Cafes (Veterans Café)
The Veterans Café were renamed to the Armed Forces Community Cafes to extend the offer of support to the wider Armed Forces Community. The cafes offer a relaxed, inclusive space for service personnel, veterans and families. People can drop in, meet others, share experiences and access support in a welcoming environment.

Social Prescribing offers non- clinical interventions and connects parents in the perinatal period with a wide range of community resources and can holistically address social, emotional and practical needs.
Assist and Engage
The Assist & Engage project aims to provide improved mental health support for people who attend the emergency department, also for referral from EDT.
The project offers extra support and signposting for further services to those who are experiencing a delay in either transport or for a mental health admission after a mental health assessment.
The support may include providing practical and emotional support to the individual and their family. The service provision will be available on call Thursday to Tuesday evenings at 18:00 – 24:00 hours.
The NET
The Net project is a partnership approach between Telford Mind, Stay and Citizen’s Advice.
The support is offered to those who are in crisis support and intends to fill the gaps identified from cuts in support provision across Telford & Wrekin in order to ensure that people are able to access the support they need, when they need it. Offering support and drop in service provision for targeted communities and up to 6 months intensive support for marginalised individuals who are not managing in a high number of support areas and therefore identified as meeting the threshold to access the service, followed by support to move on to alternative provision.
Counselling
Our Counselling team work with people aged 18+ and also offers relationship counselling to couples. Our Counsellors work with people to help them make sense of what is going on for them. To understand their feelings and to work out ways to tackle their problems.
Telford Mind Annual Report 2024-2025
Wellness While Waiting – CYP
The project offers immediate social prescribing treatments to children and young people on the CAMH’S treatment waiting list. Currently, many children and young people face long waits for mental health services, during which time their mental health often deteriorates. The social prescribing pathway will be part of a research project and will be offered as children and young people wait for their treatments. This project covers Telford and Shropshire.
The Wellness While Waiting programme (with UCL, Anne Freud & MPFT) is part of the Personalised Care work for Shropshire Telford & Wrekin.
RTSS/DARD Coordinator
The Real Time Suspected Suicide and Drug & Alcohol Related Deaths System Co-Ordinator provides comprehensive analytics and insights into suspected suicides and drug or alcohol related fatalities.
By working closely with the Coroner’s office, Police, Probation, Social Services and other local organisations, the coordinator collects data to identify patterns, characteristics and trends. This collaboration aims to inform strategies for preventing future deaths.
Teenage Conception Prevention Programme
This service will play a key role in reducing teenage pregnancies by delivering individual support and group programs aimed at young people at risk of early pregnancy. The role also involves supporting teenage parents at risk of repeat pregnancies, with a strong focus on building resilience, promoting aspiration, and fostering holistic well-being.
The service will work with teenagers across Telford and Wrekin to empower them to gain control of their health and wellbeing utilising person-centred and asset-based approaches.

Telford Mind Annual Report 2024-2025
Chairperson’s Report 2024/2025
2024/25 proved to be a year of consolidation and growth in a challenging environment.
Telford Mind has continued to perform a pivotal role within the voluntary sector in Telford & Wrekin and has continued to develop relationships with a wide range of public, private and voluntary sector organisations.
The challenge facing us to continue to grow at a pace at which governance and management can keep pace. Whilst I acknowledge we have fallen short occasionally, a number of outside influences have resulted in a great deal of learning for future resilience.
I want to say a special thank you to our senior management team of Louise and Gemma for their dedication to the organisation. Everyone involved with Telford Mind shows a great deal of investment in it’s aims & objectives. That enthusiasm is there for partners, staff and volunteers to see.

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 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 31st March 2025.
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
-
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.
