## **LAURA HYDE FOUNDATION TRUSTEES REPORT 2020/2021**
Welcome to the first Trustees report under our constitution as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. This report is prepared by Liam Barnes, as Chair, on behalf of the Charity’s Trustees. This will be circulated to members with June 2020 to May 2021 accounts before the Charity’s summit
## **Formal Report to the Charities Commission**
Some formal items must be included in our annual Trustees report and this document will satisfy that mandate.
## **CIO Trustee Committee**
The Laura Hyde Foundation is a “Charitable Incorporated Organisation”. Our Charity number is 1190944. We were registered with the Charities Commission on 19[th] August 2020. Legal decisions are taken by the CIO trustees, who in 2020/2021 were Liam Barnes, Jennifer Hawkins and Imogen Landers. The CIO Trustees have a legal responsibility to the Charities Commission for effective governance and management of the CIO’s assets in line with our CIO constitution. The Trustees meet monthly and when required. Meeting minutes are taken and will be available on request.
All trustees will remain in their position for the next annual period. It has been discussed that two additional trustees to support the LHF cause maybe required as our growth continues however this will be assessed formally within the charity’s summit
## **Charity Purpose**
The Charity’s purpose is **“TO PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH OF EMERGENCY SERVICE AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS THROUGH: A) PROVIDING AN ONLINE SELFHELP RESOURCE;. B) SIGNPOSTING INDIVIDUALS TO ORGANISATIONS WHO PROVIDE COUNSELLING, SUPPORT AND ADVICE; C)RAISING AWARENESS OF THEIR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AND PROMOTING AND SUPPORTING IMPROVEMENTS TO MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT IN THE WORKPLACE; D) MAKING GRANTS TO SUPPORT PARTNER ORGANISATIONS, RESEARCH AND FUND INITIATIVES FOR SUCH PURPOSES.**
Our priorities for 2020/2021 were:
- To support the launch of a clinically supervised 24 hour mental health support line for all medical and emergency services personnel
- Remove the continued stigma on mental health issues in the emergency services worker base
- Progress an easy to access, interpretable data capability to allow management to be proactive and insightful on their staff’s wellbeing
- Consult and construct a wellbeing and employee support service that is fully integrated to daily operations. Specifically:
- Ensure it is for purpose for all staff and roles
- Ensure that there is an appointment of Mental Health First Aiders in each trust and place of work
- Ensure that there is an appointment of a mental health champion at each workplace
- Ensure that each hospital trust can implement a formal documented mental health and well being policy and ensure this is adequately signposted to all staff
1
- Provide fast track counselling referrals for NHS, healthcare and emergency services workers
- Provide options for training for all managers/supervisors in mental health support to aid their direct reports wellbeing
I am confident we have made progress on all these priorities. To highlight a few areas of significant progress and achievements this year:
## **Launch of a clinically supervised support service for all medical and emergency services personnel**
Here we were able to make two significant inroads into vital service. At the start of this period, there was little or no options available for our emergency services to use when they needed support with their mental health. Available options often included significant expense or extremely long waiting lists.
At the start of this period, our campaigning and awareness angle successfully saw the delivery of a dedicated listening service run by the Samaritans and the Shout for emergency services 24/7.
Whilst this provided only a listening service, it was a step in the right direction and a further emphasis that the emergency services cohort needed specific support.
However a few months later on in June/July 2020, we were able to launch the LHF support service hub that brought together free to access, clinically supervised, evidence based treatment services from affiliates/partners that anyone could use.
This was a significant milestone in our organisation and one we were proud to launch.
Key achievements of the support service hub since launch include:
- Up to 26,000 hours of free to access mental health support each and every month
- It has supported:
- 2,800 NHS staff
- 655 Police
- 1,087 Paramedics
- 239 Students
- 461 Social Care
- 19 Fire personnel
This is a suitable legacy for Laura knowing that the work we have been able to deliver has helped so many.
## **Removal of stigma**
Stigma on the topic of mental health in the healthcare and emergency services remains the single greatest barrier to people accessing the support they so vitally require.
Whilst this remains an issues that we as an organisation will continue to work and break down, the work across our campaigns, initiatives and quality of the support we offer has seen significant progress in this area.
It should be noted that due to the authentic nature of why we were setup in the first place such as Laura’s passing has seen a number of people be able to relate to the work we produce and get the
2
help they need. This makes our organisation unique and trusted in what is now becoming quite a cluttered landscape of available support.
The trustees are so very proud to so this in Laura’s name, without ego, prejudice or alterior motive and this will remain the case for all future phases of our work.
## **Provide easy to access data capability**
Access to data in reliable and structured manner is little or non-existent in the public sector and this has been one of the single biggest challenges the organisation has faced across this period. This is despite successes on proprietary research as part of our campaign work.
Continued pressure, lobbying and partnership work will be a key focus of the charity’s trustees to remove these blockers and ensure that the scale, root causes and results of mental health issues are surfaced in a proactive manner and to the people who can deliver effective action.
It is the trustees view that the current data climate contributed to a far more reactive way of supporting staff which delivers sub-optimal results and unnecessary pain/stresses to the individuals involved.
## **Ensure that there is board-level mental health ownership from the right person.**
We have worked with a large number of emergency services employers at the middle management level however the engagement with the exec level is something that needs further work.
It should be noted that this is not for the lack of trying or passion shown by their direct reports but more of a state that the topic is something that can often be seen as ‘too difficult’ or in many cases a ‘tick-box exercise’
Greater accountability and decision making on staff mental health needs to be made at the board level via dedicated resources. LHF are currently conducting a proprietary piece of research that documents the allocated level of responsibility for staff mental health across each employer across the country.
Early signs show that the results will be quite damning and therefore this remains a continued focus for the trustees.
## **Regional and national profile.**
Our profile and reach as an organisation over this period continues to grow at a fast pace.
This has been accelerated by a combination of factors including:
- Acceleration of our care package stream that helped deliver information and support resources to frontline emergency service workers.
- Clinical contact and consultancy with key senior decision makers within the emergency services
- The use of the media to highlight our work across TV, print and radio.
- Contribution and leadership within national forums and events
- Our social media plans have become far more professional and informative allowing our organic audience to continue to grow.
3
The trustees will continue to push our profile so that more people can be helped, the key principle of all the work we produce.
It should be noted however that the trustees acknowledge that greater work has been performed in the NHS side and whilst this will continue, it is expected that more focused initiatives on police, paramedics and fire will grow over the next period.
## **No Mask for Mental Health**
NM4MH was a Laura Hyde Foundation campaign launched in May/June last year designed to raise the profile of the charity and help reach people who may not have heard of the support we could offer as well as generate a level of fundraising to support the future and ambitions plans we had across this period.
The level of media attention we attained, the clamber for support services that we can offer as well as a swell in people wanting to support our cause made this a hugely successful initiative.
Leaning on the well publicised PPE issues in the press at this time, the campaign ran across TV, Radio, Billboards and Social Media and was featured in over 100 media outlets to date including significant coverage in the international media space also.
I believe this was initiative was one of our greatest ever successes and the entire team involved should be extremely proud of the outcome
## **End the Silence – Suicide Prevention**
This campaign and initiative was designed to provide additional education on the topic of suicide among our emergency services. It is often a very difficult or taboo topic
We have been able to designs and deliver a free to access suicide prevention resource available to download from our website
This resource is fully accredited by the National Suicide Prevention Alliance (NSPA) and complements our work as the co-chair of the Nurse and Midwife Suicide Prevention Group and National Police Suicide Prevention Group.
We were also able to conduct a proprietary piece of research alongside our affiliates and partners that showed the scale of suicide and attempted suicide amongst emergency services.
The statistics are a testament to the hard work by many of to record key pieces of information and questions asked as part of the triage process and allows us to align fully with our strategy where data can help delivery context to the work we undertake.
This campaign has only just started and is expected by the charity to grow significantly in terms of reach and impact over the coming months.
## **We Remember Them 2021**
This virtual event was constructed with LHF as a beneficiary and has been running across 2021 in an effort to celebrate frontline workers and their efforts across the covid-19 pandemic.
4
Bringing people together post lockdown, promoting physical health to benefit mental health and recognise some of the unique and inspiring stories of our frontline staff, we have used this as our key fundraising initiative across this period gaining national media attention along the way.
Best of all and as of June 2021, there are over 120 active frontline emergency staff participating in the event with their own inspiring stories in amongst the 800 people currently registered for the virtual relay. This has allowed us to also direct a number of our support resources to these people and their peers providing further extension of our reach in the audience we look to support.
## **Financials**
Our financial accounting period runs from 1[st ] June to 31[st] May, so the accounts presented at the upcoming summit relate to the period ending two months ago. This report will provide a financial overview of the charity’s finances:

- £3,000 to support a ground-breaking pilot on a buddy scheme for people who are under investigation by the NMC

- We also provided a total of £7,500 for support initiatives in 2020/2021 including:

- Admin costs to maintain platforms such as the website, Justgiving and the text service totalled £416
- To support our events across this period, we spent a total of £3,297 on incentivised goods that would be rewarded to participants
- We have also invested in heavily in a number of our wellbeing artefacts developing a suite of material that can be accessed for free by any of the audience we support.
- This has involved creative design work and printer costs by our partner Rethink with over £9,489 invested to develop these.

Kai doesn’t have bank statements from 1[st] June 2020 to 31[st] Oct 2020 – reconcile banking
It should be noted on record that no individual has taken expenses or a salary for the work performed allowing us to be proud of the fact that all monies raised are put to the positive work we deliver.
Further budget work for the upcoming period is expected to be shown at the charity’s summit especially around transformative projects such as the website rebuild.
A summary of the accounts is sent with this report to the Members before the summit and full accounts are submitted to the Charity Commission and are available for public scrutiny.
## **Chair’s Notes**
This year for the charity and the people we support has been an extremely challenging year.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced us to accelerate a number of our initiatives due to the demand surfaced across this period. It has also developed incredible pressures on the staff we support through our work making it a somewhat perfect storm situation.
Despite this, we have performed some truly innovative and ground-breaking campaigns and support initiatives that have helped many people. To be able to do this in the pandemic is a testament to the team’s determination and belief in our cause.
I am truly grateful for the hard work and support that the LHF team and our amazing charity champions continue to show. This charity is nothing without them and I know Laura would be so proud of what we have been able to achieve in her name.
The testimonials we regularly receive from people we have helped continue to fuel us for the sheer volume of people who require on support and that is a fitting legacy to her name.
Let’s hope that the next year will see us continue to grow our reach and make continued strides in the number of people we support.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Period 19 August 2020 to 31 May 2021**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Charity Purpose**
To promote and protect the physical and mental health of emergency service and healthcare workers through:
a) Providing an online self-help resource
b) Signposting individuals to organisations who provide counselling, support and advice
c) Raising awareness of their mental health needs and promoting and supporting improvements to mental health support in the workplace
d) Making grants to support partner organisations, research and fund initiatives for such purposes
Our priorities for 2020/2021 were:
o To support the launch of a clinically supervised 24 hour mental health support line for all medical and emergency services personnel
o Remove the continued stigma on mental health issues in the emergency services worker base

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Laura Hyde Foundation**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Laura Hyde Foundation**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Laura Hyde Foundation (the Trust) for the period 19 August 2020 to 31 May 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
