OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The relief of persons in Leicestershire and its environs who are experiencing or have experienced mental health problems through the provision of in particular, but not exclusively, drop-in cafes in an effort to build self-esteem, independence and sense of well-being.

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s aims and objectives and our major activities to achieve them are as described in the Chair’s report below. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES REPORT AND REVIEW

We are pleased to present our annual report for 2023/4, a year of growth as a Charity with the appointment of 2 new members of staff to support our CEO thanks to the grant funding from the National Lottery Community Funding.

We welcomed our new part time Administrator in March who has brought their previous experience to their role, which has been greatly appreciated. In May, we also welcomed our new Centre Manager who has taken the helm of day-to-day operations which has enabled the CEO to build on their Mental health partnership work within Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland (LLR).

We are thankful to the Tudor Trust for their continued support with funding for our CEO which has enabled them to concentrate on supporting the ongoing work across LLR in improving and delivering Mental Health Services at a local level.

We have developed partnerships with over 25 partner Voluntary and Community Sector organisations across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland in this year, which has enhanced the offer from our Wellbeing Centre for the local community. We have seen an increase in demand for our services, and throughout the year have seen a steady increase in new people accessing our support and activities.

Our Veterans Wellbeing Hub has thrived during this year and the veterans have taken part in several activities to support their mental wellbeing including working with Waterloo Uncovered with a Finds project from the Battle of Waterloo. This series of sessions was extremely well attended and included a visit to Chelsea Barracks for four of our veterans who took part in the Chelsea History Festival.

Trustees Annual Report

A new area of work for us has been the ‘De-Stress’ club for young people aged 11-14 years, working in partnership with Re-Wilders CIC Ltd (now renamed as Regul-8 CIC Ltd). This work was funded by a kind donation from Loughborough Roundtable and enabled us to respond quickly to a growing need for support within this age group that had been prioritised by the Charnwood Mental Health Action Group that our CEO chairs.

Through a Shire Grant fund from Leicestershire County Council, we have begun outreach work in Sileby, which had very little provision locally to support people’s mental health within the community. Through this funding we began regular Wellbeing Café’s twice a month, where several activities, including Mindfulness, Creative sessions and talks have taken place at the local library. This was a partnership between us and the local Primary Care Network Team, with support from the local GP Practices Social Prescribers. Patients who were isolated and in need of additional support were referred and assisted to attend the sessions which are now well established. untary and Community Sector organisations too.

We couldn’t end this report without mentioning our trustees who have volunteered their time over the past year, helping to keep our little ship sailing on a straight and narrow course. This includes those who have joined us in 2024 and those who have stood down after years of voluntary service, including The Rt Hon Baroness Morgan of Cotes or Nicky as we know her! A huge thank you to them all and of course to all our amazing volunteers who support us in so many ways and without whom we would struggle to deliver our crucial service.

All in all, 2023 has been a year of steady growth for the Charity and the development of closer working relationships with local community groups has been a great achievement by the team.

Finally, a big thank you to our passionate and driven CEO and the wonderful team of staff and volunteers at the LWC, I know I speak for all of the Trustees when I say we are very much looking forward to what the next year brings.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Achievements and performance during the year to further the charity’s purposes for the public benefit are stated in the Trustees report above

Our approach to fundraising activities

The charity has been successful in several grant funding applications and will continue to do this as the charity continues to grow in the next period. Fundraising activities including events, and through online funding opportunities will continue to be utilised to enable the charity to raise its own funds as part of the strive to become less grant funding dependant as part of our sustainability.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income for the year was £252,922, made up of grants and donations which was 135% up on the previous year. After the payment of premises costs, employee costs and other costs there was £163,825 spent on charitable activities, £12,913 on fund generation, and £18,770 on other expenditure.

There was a surplus of £57,414 for the year to 31-Dec-23. Funds bought from forward from Jan 23 were £69,072, total funds at year end to take forward were £126,486.

The Trustees review the charity’s need for reserves regularly, in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The charity’s reserves comprise restricted funds to be used for specified purposes laid down by the donor, designated funds for specific purposes, and general reserves to provide working capital and to secure the continuity of the charity’s activities in the future.

The trustees believe that an amount equal to 6 months of operating expenditure included in the 2023/24 operating plan would be appropriate

Loughborough Wellbeing Centre CIO Trustees Annual Report

Risk management

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces; the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

The trustees believe that there are currently no significant risks without appropriate mitigation that warrant inclusion in the annual report.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

A larger charity must provide a summary of the charity's plans for the future including its aims and objectives and details of any plans to achieve them ...

A larger charity's report should explain the trustees perspective of the future direction of the charity...

Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
