Two trustees have resigned after the year end, namely Jon Wareing and Thomas Ian Watmore who both resigned in 2024 after more than three and two years of service respectively. 

** Kathryn Helen Pulham was initially appointed for a term of four years and she has been appointed for a second term of office of two years’ duration. 

*** Kevan Taylor was initially appointed for a term of two years, which was followed by a second term of two years and he has been appointed for a third term of office of two years’ duration. 

All future appointments of trustees will be for an initial term of 2 years. Trustees are appointed with reference to their expertise in relation to the needs of the charity, most notably safeguarding, child welfare, financial management and fund raising. 

Four meetings of the trustees were held during the year. 

All of the trustees act as volunteers for the charity and receive no remuneration for their services 



## **Objects** 

The objects of Headspace as laid down in its’ constitution are: 

- for the public benefit the promotion and protection of good mental health of young people in Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas, in particular but not exclusively through the provision of counselling programmes, signposting and support services 

- to relieve the needs of people in Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas experiencing mental illness, their families and carers in particular but not exclusively by provision of advice, information and support services. 

## **Activities** 

The activities of Headspace during 2023 were focussed on growing the range of wellbeing services provided and maintaining counselling services for young people in secondary education, whilst fundraising, primarily from donations and grants, continued to be of importance to sustain the charity’s activities. 

Two new members of staff were appointed during the year: a Wellbeing Lead and a Wellbeing Group Co-Ordinator who started in January and October respectively. 

Wellbeing services were provided to 29 young people during the year and these involved a number of activities, namely Breathwork & Mindfulness; Cooking; Crafts; Gardening and Mind Mechanics. Counselling services were provided to 26 young people. 

All the young people who received the wellbeing and counselling services attended The Cotswold School which is located in Bourton on the Water. It is planned to extend these services in the coming years to more young people including those attending other schools. 

A number of activities continue to take place at a small industrial unit in Bourton on the Water which Headspace occupies under a lease agreement with a supportive local business. This unit was used, and continues to be used, to provide a range of wellbeing activities along with an appropriate room for counselling services. 

During the year, fundraising efforts were focused on two major sources: 

- Donations – A total of £18,693 was received from a wide range of entities and individuals. 

- Grants – Two grants totalling £6,000 were received from local authorities 

In addition to the above, income was generated from A Fascinating Exhibition, an event at which visitors were able to inspect a wide range of farming-based memorabilia. 

In the performance of all its activities, the trustees have taken due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The trustees are pleased that Headspace has extended its services during the year and that the charity is well known with a good reputation in the area in which it currently operates. This is recognised by the wide range of donors from which income has been received, the receipt of grants and the practical help Headspace receives from a number of local supporters and volunteers. 

The trustees are also pleased to report that the safeguarding processes the charity has in place remain fit for purpose. 



It is vital to note that Headspace could not fulfil its remit without the dedication of a number of volunteers who generously provide their skills and time. The trustees offer their thanks and appreciation to each of our volunteers for all their dedicated efforts on behalf of Headspace and the communities it serves. 

The trustees are also pleased that our relationship with The Cotswold School has grown and together we have provided increased availability of counselling services to provide mental health support for young people and enabled Headspace to provide wellbeing services to students of The Cotswold School. 

## **Financial Review** 

For the year ended 31 December 2023, the charity’s financial results report a deficit of £23,656 which reduced reserves to £162,084. An annual deficit was anticipated in the annual budget process as Headspace planned to build its services with the expertise of new staff. 

Total income for the year ended 31 December 2023 was £26,056 (2022 - £45,087). This downturn in income was due to the annual Christmas Grotto Event no longer being able to take place after a number of successful years. 

The income streams during the year were: 

- Donations of £18,693 (70% of total income) from over 30 donors, most notably from North Cotswolds Rotary (£9,119); an anonymous gift (£2,000) and Rotary in the Rissingtons (£1,500) 

- Grants of £6,000 (22% of total income) received from Gloucester County Council (£5,000) and Bourton on the Water Parish Council (£1,000) 

- Events from which £1,363 (5% of total income) was achieved. The major contributor was A Fascinating Exhibition (£1,091) 

- Bank interest received of £737 (3% of total income) 

Total costs for the year amounted to £50,449 (2022 - £29,656). This growth was planned as the charity appointed more staff to oversee and operate wellbeing services. 

A total of £20,744 was spent on wellbeing services for young people in 2023 for which there was no equivalent in the prior year – this sum represents 41% of total costs. 

37% (2022 – 57%) of total costs were spent on providing counselling services to support the mental health of young people at a cost of £18,455 (2022 - £16,761). 

The other significant cost incurred was £6,092 (2022 - £7,689) for operating the Unit, which is used for wellbeing and counselling services. 

The financial statements for the period to 31 December 2023 were prepared by independent accountants, Chamberlains (Accountancy and Taxation) Limited and are attached to this Annual Report. 

## **Reserves** 

As at 31 December 2023, the charity held reserves of £162,084 which is the value of its’ accumulated surplus. It is the continued intention of the trustees to utilise the legacy received in 2020 over the initial years of the operations of Headspace to enable the charity to put in place a range of activities to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people whilst income streams are developed to ensure that Headspace can sustain its activities for the long term. 



## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks in relation to safeguarding, other operations, finances and reputation.
