The Trustees of Boys in Mind (BiM) are pleased to present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 5th April 2025. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity Commission’s Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), and relevant accounting standards.

Boys in Mind, Girls Mind Too (BiM) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) Foundation, registered with the UK Charity Commission. It is governed by its Constitution, which was incorporated on 26th April 2022.

Section 1: Objectives and Activities

The charity’s principal aim is to empower boys and young men to talk openly about their mental health, promote positive emotional well-being, and ensure that no young person faces mental health challenges alone. In line with our governing document, BiM’s objectives are driven by the public benefit, focusing on supporting young people, particularly boys and young men. By raising awareness, producing useful and accessible resources, offering mentoring and advice, and fostering meaningful partnerships and collaborations, we strive to bring about lasting and positive change. Our primary activities are centred on film, outreach workshops and communications, media production, and creative engagement to:

  1. Preserve and protect mental health : Offering resources, training, and support that empowers young people to maintain good mental health.

  2. Advance education : Equipping young people with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate mental health challenges and promote wellbeing.

  3. Promote growth and relieve needs : Supporting young people to develop capacities and confidence to engage as responsible and active members of society.

  4. Foster equality and diversity :

  5. Challenging discrimination based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or religion.

  6. Raising awareness of equality and inclusion through educational initiatives.

  7. o Encouraging understanding and collaboration among diverse communities.

Boys in Mind’s activities focus on providing accessible mental health education, campaigning, and support for young people aged 4-25 in England and Northern Ireland. These activities contribute to the public benefit by:

Beneficiary Feedback and Impact

Feedback from beneficiaries attending BiM events indicated a significant improvement in attendees’ understanding of mental health issues and a reduction in the stigma around seeking help.

Section 3: Financial Review

Financial Position

Income: Total income for the year was £123,903, which included grants, donations, and fundraising activities.

Expenditure: Total expenditure for the year was £78,865 primarily allocated to workshop and event delivery, supporting group facilitation, outreach and social media campaigns and improving the efficiency of our structures and policies.

Net Movement in Funds: The net movement showed a surplus of £45,038

Reserves Policy

The Trustees aim to maintain reserves sufficient to cover at least three months of operational costs. This ensures we can continue supporting beneficiaries in the event of any unforeseen funding interruptions.

Fundraising Activities

Our part-time Fundraising and Events Manager, Vanessa Williams-Grey, continues to lead this essential part of our work in a very proactive manner.

The 2024-5 financial year was a very successful one for Boys in Mind in terms of fundraising. Donations and sponsored events in memory of a young man who has tragically taken his life continue to be a major source of funding. Most notably, Tom Keys-Toyer, a local supporter, ran 650 miles around the South West Coast Path in memory of his son, Sam, raising £49,039. Another supporter, Jason Littlewood, ran the Kobe Marathon in memory of his twin, Sebastian, raising £3,350. Our runners in the Bath Half Marathon also raised £3500, whilst a

Docusign Envelope ID: 8058A954-08D7-40B3-9A6E-99366663AD54

sponsored walk organised by Kacey Bishop in memory of her boyfriend, Joe raised £1,533. Other donations in memory of young men were made via the MuchLoved tribute site, raising a further £11,531 during this period.

Dylan Kenning of UBX Bath boxing gym did a sponsored static cycle ride, raising £1,291. We received a grant from the Coop Community Fund (£2,103) and corporate donations from Team Lewis (£1,000), Tata Motors (£1000), the Ennismore Foundation (£1000) and Pav Savva (£7784).

Among our notable regular supporters were Abney & Baker Home Care (£2,000); the Bath Glastonbury Festival Clean Up team (£3,000) and The Crown Public House, Bathford (£1,200). There have been many adhoc donations too including £500 from a Quiz Night run by Trustee Susan Fletcher.

Resource Allocation

As our breakdown of expenditure shows, funding was focused on delivering effective projects, workshops and assemblies, producing educational films, awareness raising and fostering community engagement to achieve our objectives. Resource has also been allocated to improving policies and digital storage as well as beginning to develop a new website.

Section 4: Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Boys in Mind is governed by its Constitution dated 26[th] April 2022, which outlines the charity’s purposes and procedures.

Trustee Appointment, Induction, and Training

Docusign Envelope ID: 8058A954-08D7-40B3-9A6E-99366663AD54

Organisational Structure

The Board of Trustees meets at least quarterly to oversee strategy, governance, and compliance.

Day-to-day operations are managed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and a small team of paid part time freelancers and volunteers.

Subcommittees/Working Groups (e.g. Digital and Safeguarding) report to the main Board on key aspects of the charity’s operations.

Our charity operates with a dedicated team committed to promoting transparency, innovation, and collaboration. We prioritise creating a supportive and inclusive environment to enhance outcomes for young people. As part of our ongoing commitment, we aim to increase diversity within our leadership to better reflect the communities we serve and ensure varied perspectives shape our work. Within the next three years, Boys in Mind (BiM) aims to recruit and train two former Youth Ambassadors in charity governance. This initiative will help ensure that our Board genuinely reflects our commitment to representing young people and incorporates their voices in our strategic decision-making.

Risk Management

The Trustees regularly review the major risks to which the charity is exposed. This includes:

Financial Risk : Monitoring cash flow, reserves, and funding diversification.

Operational Risk: Ensuring safeguarding procedures are robust and freelance team/volunteers are appropriately trained.

Reputational Risk: Upholding transparency in all communications and activities.

Charities have a statutory power to pay a trustee, or a connected person, for the supply of goods or services in certain circumstances under section 185 of the Charity Act 2011 (as amended). In accordance with our Governing Document, Boys in Mind paid one trustee for goods (branded bottles) during this reporting period. This payment was made only after the team had properly assessed any potential risks and conflicts of interest. BiM has fully disclosed this payment—which was under £1,000—in all our charity accounts, in line with Charity SORP guidelines.
