THE CARLTON HAYES MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (CONTINUED)
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects
The objectives of the Charity as stated in the Governing Document are as follows:
The income and capital must be applied for the relief of poor persons who are experiencing or who have experienced mental health problems and who are resident in the City of Leicester and the Counties of Leicestershire and Rutland by the provision of grants, donations or in other ways that the Trustees shall from time to time determine.
Main activities
The Charity’s principal activity continues to be that of providing grants for the benefit of poor persons who are experiencing or who have experienced mental health problems and who are resident in the area of benefit. Grants are made for the benefit of qualifying recipients within the private and voluntary sector including the charitable arm of the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust. Grants are not made for costs that in the view of the Trustees should be met from public funds.
Grant making policy
The Charity receives applications for grants which are considered by the Trustees at their meetings. Feedback reports are requested and are regularly received and monitored by the Trustees. The policy of the Charity is that grants must normally be drawn down within twelve months of the award notification unless otherwise agreed and successful grant applicants are advised of this when notified of the success of their bids. No funds of the Charity may be provided for the relief of rates, taxes or other public funds.
Volunteers
The Trustees between them spend at least 300 hours in considering and administering and regulating the affairs of the Charity which is comparable with other grant-making charities of a similar size and composition.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissioner’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policies.
The Trustees fulfil their obligations by making such grants to other charitable bodies registered and otherwise, which in the opinion of the Trustees provide public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Main achievements for the year
The Board of Trustees have continued to meet regularly face to face and over Zoom. Activity levels have been maintained and remain consistent with the charitable objectives. The Charity maintained its longstanding programme of supporting smaller grant application bids from voluntary organisations and larger grant application bids which are defined as being in excess of approximately £10,000. A detailed listing of all institutions supported is itemised on page 12 and the feedback we receive from the projects supported is most encouraging.
During the year the Trustees awarded a block grant to Raising Health in the sum of £27,500 for the period 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025. Raising Health is the charitable arm of the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust and is an independently registered charity (No 1057361). The block grant is subject to terms and conditions of a service level agreement. The funds are ringfenced by Raising Health for the purposes of our charitable objectives and regular and detailed feedback as to how the funds are spent are given to the Trustees as provided for in the agreement. No administration costs are chargeable by Raising Health from the funds awarded to it.
The Trustees also awarded Leicester Charity Link with a grant during the year in the sum of £30,000. Leicester Charity Link is a local organisation that is recognised for its excellent work with people suffering from mental health problems and poverty. Although administration costs are taken from the funds awarded, Leicester Charity Link carry out all the necessary due diligence that would otherwise be charged for by Shakespeare Martineau.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity has invested the majority of its funds with CCLA Investment Management Limited, shortly to become Jupiter Asset Management in early 2026, and has established a routine of receiving quarterly reports from, and an annual review meeting with, its investment manager. Investment income for the year increased slightly to £203,727 from £200,908 which was in line with our investment advisors’ predictions.
We awarded grants to 12 organisations during the year in the sum of £131,900 and it is hoped that with more publicity we can attract a wider recognition. The charity’s website is currently being reviewed with the web designer employed by it in this regard.
A summary of the financial results for the year are detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 7. Overall, movement in funds for the year amounted to £182,077 which includes a significant unrealised loss in the sum of £234,891 on the revaluation of investments, resulting in total reserves decreasing from £6,594,521 to £6,412,444 as at 31 March 2025.
The COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund aims to provide a total return (growth in capital and income) over the long-term. The Fund is an actively managed, diversified portfolio of assets designed to help protect both present and future beneficiaries from the effects of inflation (as measured by the consumer price index). It will have an emphasis on equities (between 50% and 85%) but will also include property, bonds and other asset classes, which may be either liquid or illiquid in nature.
Over 1 year the total portfolio has had a total return of -0.5%. Over the last 12 months, the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund returned -1.46% compared with the comparator return of 4.05%. The COIF Charities Property Fund returned 7.08% compared with the benchmark return of 6.22%.
Over one year, performance across all major asset classes was mixed, with some strong performance in some of the alternative assets offset by weaker returns in equity and infrastructure. Equity performance was slightly negative over the period, with much of the weakness in Q1 2025 a result of the uncertainty in financial markets caused by Trump’s tariffs. Focusing on high-quality businesses, and on structural, rather than cyclical, growth should stand the portfolio in good stead. In alternative assets, we have pivoted to assets that derive a higher proportion of their returns from capital growth, instead of income from dividends.

Infrastructure and operating assets refer to investments that facilitate the functioning of society with the potential for steady cash flows (e.g., energy-related and social). Total return performance is shown net of management fees and expenses on a mid-price basis with gross income reinvested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.”

Reserves policy
All of the Charity’s funds are classified as unrestricted.
The Charity’s free reserves are defined as total funds excluding fixed asset investments. Free reserves at 31 March 2025 amounted to £149,096 (2024 - £96,282). It is the policy of the Trustees to manage the reserves in such a way as to retain and maintain a sufficient sum within free reserves to meet anticipated grant bids at the designated mid-year Trustee meeting and this target has been met.

THE CARLTON HAYES MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (CONTINUED)
Fixed assets investment policy
The assets of the Charity are held for charitable purposes within the terms of the governing document. Details of investments are shown in note 8 to the financial statements.
The Statement of Investment Principles is set by the Trustees and reviewed regularly to take account of funding requirements. Investments held by the Charity are held in accordance with the powers conferred by the Trustee Act 2000. The Trustees have appointed CCLA to manage their investments on a discretionary basis and responsibility for investments is delegated to an investment manager.
Investment Principles to be observed by the investment manager
The basic principles governing investment is that capital must be kept intact in real terms and only income may normally be distributed. It is, therefore, inappropriate to invest in very low yielding investments. At 31 March 2025 approximately £5,532,000 was invested in the COIF Ethical Investment Fund and approximately £731,000 in the COIF Property Fund.
The investments in the COIF Ethical Investment Fund are made in accordance with ethical constraints. The Fund has a wide range of ethical restrictions and is advised by an ethical advisory group that assists in the development of the Fund’s ethical investment policy. Investments in companies with unacceptable environmental, social and governance behaviour are avoided. The ethical restrictions are those prioritised by investors and include companies which derive more than 10% of their revenue from alcohol, gambling and tobacco.
The investment manager monitors performance against suitable benchmarks as agreed and reviewed periodically by all the Trustees. The Chair and Rachael Stembridge closely monitor the performance on a quarterly basis and monthly investment reports are circulated to all Trustees. A representative of the investment manager attends one of the regular meetings of the Trustees each year, normally in the autumn.
The ongoing fundamental principle is to have a medium/low risk strategy of investing prudently and cautiously in a broad range of investments. Surplus cash will be invested in banks or other financial institutions offering competitive market interest rates for Charity investment. The actual returns achieved this year are above the target annual investment return of £200,000, available to spend on grants commitments.
Risk management
The main risk to the Charity lies in the combination of uncertain investment markets and volatility in yield. The Charity manages these investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides for a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchanges. Furthermore, regular communication is maintained between the advisors and the Trustees.
The Trustees have reviewed all the major risks faced by the Charity and procedures have been established to manage those risks.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
As a mental health Charity, the Trustees are conscious of the continued increased demands on mental health. Fortunately, there is now greater awareness of the increasingly complex mental health issues in society through the media. We continue to endeavour to strengthen our links with and understanding of the challenges facing the provision of mental health services in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. In this way the Trustees will be as prepared as possible to respond positively to bids received which fall within the purpose of the Charity such that people get the best possible support from a range of services.
We have an ongoing current project to refresh and upgrade our website which should hopefully encourage an increase in the number of bids from as wide a spectrum as possible and will enable us to support emerging needs. Since the year end, we have implemented the introduction of the simplified form and application process. This has been redesigned and the guidance has been made clearer to applicants for the level of detail contained in the bids required by the Trustees to enable them to reach their decisions without requesting further information. Furthermore, as part of good governance, the Trustees have reviewed the Charity’s Policies and Procedures in detail and updated these as necessary.

THE CARLTON HAYES MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY
TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (CONTINUED)
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity is a registered Charity and is governed by Schemes of the Charity Commission dated 1907, 1951, 1973 and 2014 as amended by resolutions dated 12 October 2012, 20 March 2013 and 13 October 2022. Following the resolution dated 20 March 2013 the Charity is now known as The Carlton Hayes Mental Health Charity.
Appointment of Trustees
The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
As amended by a resolution dated 12 October 2012, the body of the Trustees will consist of six competent persons nominated and appointed in consultation with the NHS and the local authorities of the City of Leicester and the Counties of Leicestershire and Rutland. Nominative Trustee members will be appointed for an initial period of four years in each case.
In addition, as amended by a resolution dated 13 October 2022, up to six additional Trustees can be co-opted by the body of Trustees to expand upon and capitalise on a wider knowledge of the body of Trustees. Co-opted Trustees will be appointed for an initial period of three years in each case. We are actively seeking to recruit Trustees currently working within the mental health sphere, whether in the NHS or voluntary sector, and to broaden the knowledge and diversity of the Trustee body as a whole.
Trustee recruitment, induction and training
New Trustees are generally chosen from appropriate backgrounds such that they possess relevant knowledge on the publicly funded and voluntary mental health sectors whilst contributing to the diversity of the Board members. On appointment, new Trustees are briefed about the Charity, their role within the Charity and knowledge of the governing document. The Trustees also periodically review the need for any training requirements throughout the organisation.
Organisation structure
The administration of the Charity is undertaken by the Clerk to the Trustees. The work of Helen Pole (of Shakespeare Martineau LLP) is recognised by the Trustees as a key element in enabling them to perform effectively on behalf of the Charity and these accounts provide the opportunity to thank her for her commitment and support.
The Trustees ordinarily meet three times a year to consider and award grant applications, to review the value for money for the charity’s administrative support costs, to review the management of the Charity and the funds held by the charity. Additional meetings are held if the Trustees consider it necessary.
This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 10 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

THE CARLTON HAYES MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. Accounting policies
Charity information
The Carlton Hayes Mental Health Charity is governed by a Scheme of the Charity Commission.
1.1
Basis of preparation
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance: with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities applying FRS 102 (2019), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include the revaluation of investments. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for any other purposes.
1.4 Income recognition
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. It comprises dividend income and is recognised on an accruals basis.
1.5 Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expensed for which it was incurred.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities for its beneficiaries.
Unconditional grants awarded are recognised as liabilities in the financial statements when the award of the grant has been communicated to the recipient. The communication gives the recipient reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. The full amount is recognised for multi-year grants unless conditions of substance apply to payments falling due after the reporting date.

THE CARLTON HAYES MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (CONTINUED)
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.5 Expenditure recognition (continued)
Grant payments are made to recipients retrospectively which is ordinarily when invoiced by the recipient and when supporting evidence of costs incurred have been provided. Grants which have not been invoiced after a period of twelve months are normally cancelled and derecognised in the financial statements unless otherwise agreed.
1.6 Support costs
Support costs are those overhead costs not directly incurred in the delivery of the Charity’s objectives and include governance costs. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity.
1.7 Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Holdings in the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund and the COIF Charity Property Fund are valued either using mid-market prices or alternatively based on the net asset value of a unit.
The Statement of Financial Activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
Investment management costs are deducted from capital because it is not practicable to ascertain the actual costs charged.
1.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.9 Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price.
1.10 Taxation
The Charity is a Registered Charity and thus exempt from taxation on its income and capital gains to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (CONTINUED)
2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The Trustees do not consider there to be any key sources of estimates or uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
