Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2024 (cont’d)
Beder Mirjan Limited (Company number : 11958311)
Beder Mirjan Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beder (CIO). The subsidiary was dissolved during the year and all activities now take place in the charity.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Beder was formed and registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in January 2020 and is governed by its constitution dated 20[th] January 2020 and updated on 14[th] January 2021. It was established with a mission to prevent suicide and preserve and protect the mental health of young people and adults in particular through partnering and supporting mental health and suicide prevention charities in the UK. It also works to provide opportunities to increase awareness of mental health issues with young people and adults in the UK through joint initiatives.
Organisation
The charity is administered by a board of trustees, who meet quarterly.
Appointment of Trustees
Any proposed trustee appointments are put forward by a member of the board of trustees for consideration during a trustee meeting. Each proposed trustee is approved or declined by the majority of the board of trustees. Upon the board of trustees approving a trustee appointment then the appointee is offered the appointment as a trustee of Beder.
Trustee Induction and Training
We encourage trustees to independently undertake any mental health and suicide prevention training such as the Mental Health First Aid training courses.
Objectives and Activities
Beder was set up as a legacy to 18 year old Beder Mirjan, who sadly passed away after taking his own life in April 2017.
The main aim of Beder is to softly raise awareness around the topics of mental health and suicide prevention. Beder wants to overcome the fear and stigma surrounding these important societal issues to help ensure those suffering with their mental health realise that they are not alone and there is always support surrounding them so that taking their own life is not the only option.
Beder organises a range of in-person events and initiatives to help raise awareness around mental health and suicide prevention in addition to their service of providing free access to therapy via Beder Therapy Vouchers.
We feel Beder, as a charity, is certainly growing in the right direction as the Beder community continues to expand and provide a platform for us all to play our part in raising awareness around these important societal issues.
Significant activities – 1 APRIL 2023 to 31 MARCH 2024

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2024 (cont’d)
It was a great success bringing 16 teams and more than 150 people together at AFC Wimbledon’s stadium, Plough Lane, whilst raising over £1,000 for Beder.
The BigGive, Kind2Mind – May 2023
Beder launched a fundraising campaign with The Big Give with the aim of raising £5,000 between 15 – 22 May 2024 and, if this target was achieved, it would be doubled by The Big Give. We were able to raise £13,305 which equates to Beder offering over 165 therapy sessions.
Beder FC v Fulham Foundation XI at Craven Cottage – May 2023
Beder FC reached new heights as we played a special charity football match against Fulham FC Foundation at Craven Cottage. We had a full Beder FC squad and ex-Fulham player, Kevin Betsy, playing for us.
Beder FC v Team Harvey – 20 August 2023
Beder FC started its new season in style with some Premier League legends and football’s finest content creators representing Beder FC as we won 5-4 in a thrilling match against Team Harvey at Meadowbank Stadium in Dorking.
The Beder FC squad included the likes of Wayne Routledge, Chris Eagles, Marvin Sordell, Matthew Briggs, Simon Church, A Star Barber, Mayowa Quadri and Zayn Farooqui.
Beder x QPR
Beder was honoured to be chosen as the match day charity for QPR v Blackburn ahead of World Mental Health Day as it continues to build our relationship with the club who remain incredibly supportive.
New Ambassador: Ali Al Hamadi
Ali Al-Hamadi is a professional footballer who played for AFC Wimbledon when he came on board as an ambassador and the Iraqi national team but he has since moved to Ipswich Town and plays in the Premier League.
Ali truly cares about raising awareness around mental health and suicide prevention having lost people close to him so intends to use his platform to inspire others whilst showing it’s ok to talk about the importance of looking after your mental health.
He has a very engaged social following and videos which we filmed with him have hit 457k, 208k and 168k views which is incredible for Beder’s visibility.
Concert for Mental Health – 8 February 2024
Beder hosted a special concert with Zak Abel, Billy Lockett, Sonny Tennet and Ethan Hodges in London as it saw over 600 people come together, through the power of music, for an unforgettable evening raising over £8,000. Beder’s objectives are to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide prevention, stimulate a dialogue to softly raise awareness and provide a platform for us all to play our part in normalising the conversation around these important societal issues.

Beder (CIO)
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2024 (cont’d)
Beder looks to keep leading the way collaboratively, build meaningful and authentic relationships with our partners and supporters whilst creating greater accessibility to information and opportunities to promote selfcare and manage our mental health.
Beder strives for its work to have genuine, long term and sustainable impact. We believe that initiating conversations and creating safe spaces where a range of perspectives and experiences can be heard is key to this.
Beder prioritises taking a soft-touch approach to raising awareness, with empathy at the forefront of everything we do. We want to help make talking about what is on your mind less daunting and overwhelming.
Statement of Public benefit
The objectives of the charity and the activities undertaken to meet those objectives are for the public benefit. The Trustees have given due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Financial Review
The charity and trading subsidiary company together produced a surplus for the year of £10,276 (2023: £16,434). All funds of the charity are unrestricted.
Investment Powers
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit.
The trustees are looking to build reserves within the charity to provide a stable financial base to support future activities and so the charity funds are kept in an instant access cash account.
Reserves Policy
Charity Commission guidance requires trustees to consider the need for a charity to maintain reserves. Free reserves are defined by the Charity Commission as funds which are neither restricted nor designated and which are not tied up in fixed assets necessary for operations.
At 31 March 2024, the group free reserves were £98,884 (2023 : £88,608).
At this stage of development of the charity the trustees are looking to build the charity’s reserves in order to ensure that the important work of the charity is sustainable and have therefore not yet developed a reserves policy.
