You Me Mind Charity
## Annual Report
The Trustees of You Me Mind Charity present their annual report and accounts for the period of 01/04/2024 – 31/03/2025
## WHO WE ARE
You Me Mind was founded in 2023 by Maxine Stevens, who had her own lived experience of birth trauma at the time of her own son’s birth 12 years ago. With very little support at that time, the trauma became worse, causing more significant struggles with mental health and has since led to Maxine becoming a qualified Psychotherapist and setting up You Me Mind, to support other women and families who have had a similar experience. The aim is to provide women with support, without long waiting lists, connect them with others so they don’t feel so alone, and provide access to highly trained professionals with the required experience and knowledge to be able to safely support them.
We currently have a team of 4 trustees, with a Devon Maternity Clinical Lead, a Mental Health Nurse, a Teacher and a Rights or Passage Facilitator. Facilitating the groups and the charity’s every day work is a qualified Psychotherapist and a Midwife, plus a visiting health professional each month to the Birth Hubs. We are currently running this all voluntarily. We are a small collective of like-minded professionals born out lived experience of birth trauma. We recognize how lonely it can feel, and what limited targeted support there is out there.
## OUR AIMS
Our aim is twofold, one; to provide support groups (Birth Hubs) and two; provide affordable therapy with experienced psychotherapists.
At some point in their life, a woman and her family may experience birth trauma. It can be a difficult and overwhelming experience that can leave a lasting impact on their mental and emotional well-being. We want to offer support and resources to help women and families navigate the challenge that can come with birth trauma. Whether it's through therapy, support groups, resources or education, we provide pathways to help those affected to heal and move forward from birth trauma.
Currently there is no such provision for birth trauma specifically, although there are general support groups for mothers, they are not the targeted provision that we are proposing. Furthermore, these groups are often expensive and inaccessible, so we want our provision to be accessible and inclusive to everyone and it’s vital to us that all women get access to help quickly as support shouldn’t just be accessible if you can afford it. We have some of the most deprived areas locally and people who live in these areas deserve adequate levels of support and care.
Some of the most powerful feedback from previous group attendees is that they felt, for the first time, able to speak of their experience which they couldn’t do in any other group. We make a difference by offering the only support service exclusively focused birth trauma.

## OUR OBJECTIVES
‘For the public benefit, to promote the physical and mental health of parents and their families who have been affected by experiences in pregnancy and/or birth trauma, primarily through:
- a. Assisting in the provision of pre and post birth counselling, psychotherapy and support for any related concerns;
- b. Raising public awareness of birth related trauma, depression, anxiety and mental health concerns.’
## REVIEW OF ACVTIVITES AND ACHEIVEMENTS
We received a grant for £1000 which has helped towards the running costs of the bank account.
The charity has been running solely by the work of Maxine Stevens. During this period she became a carer which has meant less activity during this term. We intend to find additional support to develop the charities work again.
## **Accounts:**
We received a £1000 grant which has sat inactive ready for the next phase of development.
## POLICIES
We intend to write the following policies in the by the end of the next accounting period:
Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults and Children Risk Management Investment policy
