Public Benefit
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objectives (included within this section is the statutory declaration that the trustees have with regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit).
1. We support people to relieve sickness
In the pursuit of enhancing the well-being of individuals grappling with mental health challenges, our charitable initiative aims to establish an intricate network of peer hubs, professional counselling services and alternative therapies. By orchestrating these integrated platforms, we aspire to alleviate the burden of illness and promote mental wellness.
Our visionary approach entails the creation of a range of peer hubs, strategically designed to foster a sense of community and belonging. These hubs will serve as safe spaces where individuals can engage in open dialogues, share their experiences, and benefit from mutual support. By harnessing the power of shared stories and empathetic connections, we intend to cultivate an environment conducive to emotional healing and personal growth.
Additionally, our well-managed and person-centered counselling servicess will provide individuals with access to seasoned mental health professionals. These experts, armed with profound understanding and evidence-based methodologies, will offer tailored guidance to navigate the complexities of mental health challenges. Our goal is to equip individuals with coping strategies, resilience-building techniques, improved physical health and personalised insights, ultimately empowering them to regain control over their wellbeing.
Through the strategic fusion of peer hubs and expert counselling, our charity envisions a harmonious synergy that holistically addresses the spectrum of mental health ailments. By fostering a supportive community and delivering targeted therapeutic interventions, we aspire to alleviate suffering and pave the way for transformative healing journeys. Our aim is to work towards a healthier, more resilient society.
2. We educate people about health issues to prevent sickness
Our charitable endeavour is strategically focussed on enhancing public awareness regarding mental health challenges while providing crucial individualised support to alleviate the burdens of illness. We are dedicated to achieving this through a multifaceted approach that includes dynamic conference talks and webinars, targeted employer training, and personalised assistanace.
At the heart of our strategy lies a commitment to educate and empower. Through engaging conference talks, we aim to disseminate accurate information, destigmatise mental health struggles, and foster an environment of open dialogue. our talks, presented by qualified and experienced experts, will not only illuminate the intricacies of mental health issues, but also equip attendees with actionable insights to better comprehend, address and support those in need.
In recognition of the pivotal role that workplaces play in individuals' lives, we are steadfast in our commitment to equipping employees with the knowledge and tools to champion mental well-being. Our tailored training programs will furnish employers with the understanding to create inclusive environments and implement supportive policies. By nurturing mentally healthy workplaces, we envision a ripple effect that extends to the broader community.
Moreover, our cornerstone is providing individualised support. We recognise that every journey through mental health challenges is unique. Through our personalised assistance, we aim to offer a compassionate hand to those in need. Our team of trained professionals will offer guidance, coping strategies and a safe place for individuals to navigate their struggles, facilitating the path to recovery and resilience.
In the pursuit of our mission, we are poised to be strategic advocates for mental health, bridging the gap between knowledge and action.

Unmasked Mental Health Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 28 February 2026
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
The year ending 28 February 2026 has been one of significant progress for Unmasked Mental Health, with strong delivery against our strategic objectives despite a challenging financial and operational environment.
We have continued to expand our reach, strengthen our service delivery, and diversify our income streams to support longterm sustainability. In particular, the growth of our peer support hubs and activity groups, the expansion of our counselling provision, and the development of employer services have all contributed to increased impact across our communities.
Total income exceeded £280,000, representing an increase of nearly 300% compared to the previous financial year. This reflects both increased demand for our services and the charity’s continued focus on developing sustainable income streams.
We maintain robust and well-documented policies and procedures to support our employees, volunteers and clients, ensuring strong governance, safeguarding, and regulatory compliance across all areas of the organisation.
Peer Hubs and Activity Groups
Our wellbeing and activity hubs continue to operate across Calderdale, providing accessible, community-based mental health support. These services are delivered by trained volunteers and overseen by one full-time member of staff.
During the year, 28 new Peer Hub and Activity Group Facilitators were trained. Each facilitator completed a structured programme including 8 hours of in-house training and 3 hours of self-directed online learning.
To further strengthen delivery and support, we introduced monthly one-to-one support sessions and bi-monthly facilitator forums to encourage shared learning and service development.
Between 1 March 2025 and 28 February 2026, we delivered over 580 wellbeing and activity sessions, providing more than 5,800 individual places. Average attendance remained strong at approximately 10 participants per session, with Sowerby Bridge continuing to be our busiest location.
Counselling Services
Our counselling service has experienced substantial growth over the past year, significantly increasing access to low-cost mental health support.
We awarded approximately 55 student counselling placements, delivering over 5,520 hours of counselling support to more than 540 clients.
Reduced availability of local grant funding has impacted on our ability to provide fully funded counselling to more people, with only around 10% of clients able to access the service free of charge.
We continue to work in partnership with five colleges and universities across Yorkshire and Lancashire, with approximately 35 student counsellors on placement at any one time. During the year, 41 student counsellors successfully achieved their qualifications through placements with the charity.
We introduced the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) to measure client outcomes, now embedded within our service delivery and strategic decision-making.
Employer Services
Our employer services have continued to grow steadily throughout the year and now represent a key and increasingly reliable income stream for the charity. This area of delivery is central to our strategy to diversify income, reduce reliance on grant funding and support the long-term financial sustainability of the organisation.
Our offer to employers includes employer-referred counselling, NUCO-accredited mental health qualifications, workplace wellbeing workshops and an Employee Support Line. These services are designed to provide early intervention, practical support and increased awareness within the workplace, enabling employers to better support the mental health and wellbeing of their workforce.
Demand for these services has increased as organisations continue to recognise the importance of proactive mental health support and the link between employee wellbeing, absence management and overall organisational performance. Our approach, which combines clinical expertise with a practical and accessible delivery model, has resonated strongly with employers across the region.

Unmasked Mental Health Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 28 February 2026
Main Achievements - continued
We have developed strong and trusted relationships with a growing number of local and regional employers, resulting in consistent referrals into our counselling services and a high level of repeat engagement across our wider offer. These partnerships are built on quality, responsiveness and measurable impact, and increasingly position the charity as a valued partner in supporting workplace wellbeing.
Importantly, income generated through employer services directly supports the delivery of our wider charitable activities, including subsidised counselling and community-based peer support. This integrated model enables us to extend our reach and ensure that those who are most vulnerable can continue to access support at low or no cost.
Partnership Working
Despite operating with a reduced workforce, the charity maintained a strong, relevant, external presence, attending over 60 networking and partnership events throughout the year. This sustained level of engagement reflects our strategic commitment to collaboration as a core mechanism for reaching those most in need.
Through this activity, we have significantly strengthened our relationships with GP practices, social prescribers, primary care networks and a wide range of community and voluntary sector organisations. These partnerships have resulted in more effective and streamlined referral pathways, enabling individuals to access appropriate mental health support more quickly and at the point of need. As a result, we have seen an increase in referrals into both our counselling services and peer support hubs, alongside improved engagement from individuals who may not previously have accessed support.
Earlier access to services has supported more timely intervention, helping to prevent the escalation of mental health challenges and reducing pressure on statutory services. Our ability to offer support without a waiting list has been a key factor in this, ensuring that individuals are able to receive help at the point they need it most.
Our partnership approach extends beyond referrals and is grounded in shared learning, joint problem-solving and a collective ambition to improve mental health outcomes across Calderdale. We are increasingly recognised as a trusted and reliable delivery partner within the local health and community ecosystem.
All peer hubs are delivered within established community venues, ensuring that our services remain visible, accessible and embedded within local neighbourhoods. This model has contributed to consistently strong attendance levels and repeat engagement, with many individuals returning regularly and reporting improved wellbeing, reduced isolation and a greater sense of community connection.
In addition, we have actively opened our own premises to other charitable and community organisations, creating opportunities for co-location, shared delivery and integrated support. This has enabled a more holistic approach to service provision, where individuals can access multiple forms of support within a familiar and trusted environment. It has also strengthened cross-organisational relationships and maximised the use of community resources, increasing the overall capacity of the local support network.
Financial Review
Financial Position
During year ended 28 February 2026, total income was £280,365 and total expenditure £266,409, resulting in a net surplus of £13,956 for the year.
As outlined in note 2.2 Going Concern Disclosure, a balance of £50,022 is owed to Unmasked Mental Health CIC, which is currently in a deficit position due to this outstanding balance from the Charity. A payment arrangement is in place to reduce this in a managed way across a timed period. The trustees of Unmasked Mental Health CIO, who are also directors of Unmasked Mental Health CIC, have prepared detailed plans and forecasts.
The charity has successfully received significant funding through a 3 year grant, and has developed new income streams which are steadily growing, and new grant opportunities are constantly being sought.
Income from counselling services increased by 445% compared to the previous financial year, reflecting both a significant rise in demand and the continued development of our service delivery model. In addition, income generated through employer services increased by 490%, demonstrating the growing strength of this area as a sustainable and scalable income stream for the charity.
This growth has been driven by increased engagement with local employers, stronger referral pathways into employerfunded counselling, and the expansion of our broader workplace wellbeing offer, including training and support services. Together, these income streams are playing a critical role in reducing reliance on grant funding and strengthening the charity’s long-term financial sustainability.

Unmasked Mental Health Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 28 February 2026
Financial Position - continued
Staff costs increased by over 75% during the year, largely reflecting higher staffing levels during the first half of the reporting period. During the second half of the year, the charity undertook a period of organisational review and implemented several positive personnel changes to ensure that the team structure was better aligned with both service requirements and strategic priorities.
As a result, the charity now operates with a smaller, more experienced and higher-performing team. This has led to improved operational efficiency, stronger service oversight and enhanced quality of delivery across all areas. The changes have also ensured that resources are being utilised more effectively, supporting both financial stability and the continued delivery of high-quality services to beneficiaries.
Grant Funding
The charity secured a three-year grant from The National Lottery, commencing in March 2025, and successfully delivered against all first-year objectives within the agreed timeframe. This achievement reflects the strength of our service model, the commitment of our team and the effectiveness of our governance and monitoring processes.
The funding has enabled us to expand and strengthen our core provision, particularly within our peer hubs and activity groups, ensuring continued access to community-based mental health support. Robust reporting and evaluation mechanisms have been implemented throughout the year to evidence delivery, outcomes and impact, providing assurance to funders and supporting ongoing service development.
While local grant funding opportunities have been more limited than in previous years, the charity has demonstrated resilience by continuing to secure support from national funders who recognise both the quality and the impact of our work. This has reinforced our reputation as a credible and trusted organisation capable of delivering meaningful outcomes within the mental health sector.
The experience of reduced local funding has further highlighted the importance of our strategic focus on income diversification. As a result, we continue to prioritise the development of sustainable income streams, alongside maintaining strong relationships with existing and prospective funders to support the future growth of the charity.
Reserves Policy
The charity currently does not currently hold any free reserves. A formal reserves policy is in place and reviewed regularly in line with SORP (FRS 102).
Additional Note
Future Plans
Looking ahead, the charity has identified several key strategic priorities to support continued growth, strengthen sustainability and enhance the quality and reach of our services.
A central focus for the year ahead is the implementation and optimisation of a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This will improve data management, reporting capability and operational efficiency, enabling more informed decision-making and strengthening our ability to evidence impact for funders and stakeholders.
We will continue to develop and expand our employer services, building on the strong foundations established during the year. This includes increasing engagement with existing employer partners, growing our client base and enhancing our service offer to ensure it remains responsive to the evolving needs of the workplace. This area remains a key driver in our strategy to diversify income and reduce reliance on grant funding.
Strengthening partnerships across the voluntary, community and statutory sectors will remain a priority. We will continue to build meaningful relationships that improve referral pathways, support earlier intervention and enable more integrated and joined-up provision for those accessing our services.
Alongside this, we will maintain a clear focus on increasing sustainable income through a balanced approach to funding, including employer services, grant funding and fundraising activity. This will ensure the charity is well-positioned to manage financial uncertainty while continuing to deliver high-quality, accessible mental health support.
Acknowledgements
The Trustees would like to extend their sincere thanks to our staff, volunteers and fellow Trustees for their continued commitment, professionalism and integrity throughout the year.
