Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2025 (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.

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.

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 2025, the group free reserves were £150,253 (2024 : £98,884).
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.
