## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
For the public benefit, to relieve the needs of young people in Yorkshire affected by, or at risk of developing, poor mental health, in particular, but not exclusively by:
- A) Working with specialist agencies and mental health professionals to provide counselling and related mental health support;
- B) Raising awareness and providing information to people within the community about mental health illnesses and ways to maintain good mental health.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the preservation, protection and enhancement of good mental health of young people in Yorkshire.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **The BREW Project**
The Brew Project continues to be our flagship service throughout West Yorkshire. We have continued to offer hundreds of children and young people with timely, effective and accessible mental health support and the demand for this service continues to grow (approx 800 referrals per annum). We have received fantastic feedback from young people, parents and professionals and continue to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people who need support (Using clinical outcome scores, we see an average increase in wellbeing of 14% over a 4-12 week period).
## **Transition Support Service**
The Transition Support Service has run as a pilot beginning in April 2022 and has been a resounding success. The project has aligned with the NHS Long Term Plan strategy in ensuring there is comprehensive support for young people 16-25. The project has established itself as a strong wraparound support project and supports 4060 children per week through counselling, support and activities. The service has now been made recurrent from 2023.
## **Try High Holiday Club**
Delivering through the national HAF framework, we delivered Try High for a third year throughout 2022 and 2023. Working in partnership with Calder Community Squash and Halifax Panthers, we have gone on to deliver thousands of sessions to children accessing free school meals throughout Calderdale. We have worked with over 540 children in Park, Town, Warley, Illingworth, Mixenden and Ovenden Wards, offering sports, creative, wellbeing and enriching activities.
## **Liaison & Diversion**
Throughout the year, we have continued our partnership with Liaison & Diversion (L&D) across West Yorkshire. We have offered therapeutic support and intervention to some of the most at risk young people in our region; supporting them with their mental health and wellbeing and dealing with complex needs and trauma. The project is now established across Calderdale, Bradford and Kirklees and engagement rates for L&D service users in mental health services have increased threefold.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **COPE**
Our COPE Bereavement Project enters its third year in 2023 thanks to funding from the COOP Foundation. The project has been very well received by schools across Calderdale and Bradford and has been an essential support to some schools who have felt unsure on how to manage complex bereavement and trauma for their students. We have worked with groups of young people, offering an open space, psycho education and youth social action to work through bereavement, loss and change.
## **Therapeutic and Wellbeing work in Schools**
We have continued to partner with many of our fantastic schools in the last year. We offer a range of services including counselling, bereavement work, workshops, group work, wellbeing support and consultations to schools. We have increased the number of schools we are working with and it has been a fantastic year developing our strategy with schools, MHSTs and wider partnerships to ensure our offer is truly valued by education settings.
## **Schools Ambassadors Project**
This year we began a new project with Leeds COOP Academy which has been greatly received. Within this project we have developed a cohort of young people who will support the school and wider community in developing the whole school approach of the school. These ambassadors will develop spaces, develop policies and procedures and co-produce materials with the Senior Leadership team with our guidance.
## **Fundraising and Donations**
Our fundraising strategy has come on leaps and bounds this year and we were excited to launch our first fundraising campaign in February 2023: #BlueSomeGood. We had 6 people run the Great North Run for us in 2022, raising over £3,000 and our campaign for Children’s Mental Health Week saw us raise thousands of pounds to support our charity.
## **Quality 4 Health and Wellbeing**
In 2022, we were awarded the level 2 Q4H+W accreditation which demonstrates our commitment and ability to safe and ethical support for children and young people. The accreditation allows us to demonstrate to funders, parents and the public that we are an organisation committed to best practice and that we always put children and families first.
## **Active Calderdale**
We began a new partnership with Active Calderdale this year which has allowed the charity to embed physical activity into our work and conversations. The partnership has secured us with funding to develop new and exciting projects, support our staff in being more active and supporting our service users into sports, physical activity and moving more.
## **The Invictus Drop In**
The Invictus Drop In began in 2022 which is a safespace and drop in peer support service which runs at sites across Calderdale. The group is aimed at offering children a weekly support group without the need for a referral. The project has had great attendance so far with many regulars coming each week to get immediate support.
## **Youth Leaders**
Our Youth Leaders have continued to keep our organisation grounded and youth led throughout the year. Youth Leaders are a group of young people who support the organisation in ensuring that our services and practice are youth led and that any developments are engaged and consulted with young people first. They have been involved in fundraising, interviews, community engagement, speeches, project volunteering and much more. We are excited to see how our Youth Leaders programme develops in 2023 and beyond.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **CFFC Awards**
Last year our organisation was nominated for ‘Best Marketing Campaign’ at the Community Foundation for Calderdale Awards. We were also pleased that three of our youth leaders (Poppie, Lucy and Kiera) were all nominated for inspirational young person of the year. We were unfortunately not winners on the evening but are pleased that the achievements of our organisation are recognised locally.
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £75,710, including net income of £47,038 on unrestricted funds and net income of £28,672 on restricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £103,495.
The trustees have agreed to maintain funds at sufficient levels in order to allow the smooth operation of the charity's activities. The policy is to aim to hold fee reserves of between 3 and 6 months of budgeted expenditure, which equates to between £145,000 and £290,000. The current reserves are below the minimum level but we plan on undertaking more unrestricted corporate work and fundraising activities during the next financial year to increase the level of reserves.
## **Going Concern Statement**
At the time of signing these accounts the charity the trustees have assessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Approved by the board of trustees on 22/11/2023

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Invictus Wellbeing Foundation CIO
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO 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 CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.
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 charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 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.

## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for the previous period.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Project and office equipment: over 5 years Computer equipment: over 3 years
## **Pensions**
