CONSTITUTION
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association.
DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES
The directors of the company as listed on page 1 are its trustees for the purpose of charity law.
The Board has the power to appoint additional directors, as it considers fit.
Any board member may propose the appointment of a new trustee. If the board agrees the prospective trustee is invited for informal discussions with nominated board members and, if appropriate, to attend one or more board meetings. All new trustees are given a copy of the Charity Commission publication CC3 – “The Essential Trustee: What You Need To Know” and confirm that they have read, understood and accept the responsibilities involved. Existing trustees are kept up to date by referring to charity commission updates and relevant publications.
All trustees give their time voluntarily; no trustee received any benefits. Details of reimbursed expenses are disclosed in note 15.
ORGANISATION, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Centre for Better Health (CBH) (www.centreforbetterhealth.org.uk) is an independent community mental health charity. Its mission is to support wellbeing and recovery from mental illhealth. CBH has three specific aims for each of its services:
-
To build skills, confidence, and improve wellbeing.
-
To encourage social engagement and participation.
-
To make meaning of experiences, facilitate growth and progress towards goals.
The charity is administered by a board of Trustees who meet quarterly and administer the charity. A director of operations is appointed by the trustees to manage the day to day running of the charity.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

THE DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS
The organisation employs 8 full time staff and 19 part time staff.
The delivery of services also relies on the valuable contribution in time and commitment from volunteers. Over the course of the last year this has amounted to approximately 4,585 hours.
As of 23rd March 2020 in line with Government directives, the centre had to suspend all face to face services due to the Covid 19 pandemic threat.
COUNSELLING PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE
The Counselling Service is delivered at the Darnley Road Centre. It is an integrative and affordable service which makes it accessible for people who might not otherwise have access to talking therapies. The offering is for up to one year, with individuals self-referring to the service. Clients are also signposted to the service by a variety of statutory bodies including social workers, GPs, psychiatrists and local hospitals.
In April 2020, we launched our online counselling service – bringing small groups of existing counsellors and clients on board at a time. After a few months, we were able to open up the service to new counsellors and clients, offering counselling by Zoom or telephone. We have been able to support 275 clients during a year that brought about unprecedented challenges for many. We know that the pandemic has had a devastating impact on mental health. Indeed, 56% of all referrals received during the year were partly or completely related to COVID-19.
-
275 clients accessed our online counselling service
-
4,054 counselling sessions were attended
-
97% were satisfied with the service
-
97% agreed that their counsellor fostered a safe and trusting environment
-
91% accessing counselling for anxiety felt their issue had improved
▪ 87% accessing counselling for depression felt their issue had improved
BETTER HEALTH HUB
During the year, we ran a rolling programme of online groups and courses ranging from ‘Coping with COVID’, ‘Loss, Grief and Bereavement Support’ and ‘LGBTQI+ Support Group’ to photography, mindfulness, watercolour and ceramics – with take-home kits for the latter courses for participants to paint and make clay figures and ornaments at home.
We closed our Hub activities to paying clients in order to focus our attention on the work that we deliver as part of the City and Hackney Wellbeing Network; a partnership of specialist mental health providers that offers high-quality free support to help people prevent the onset of mental health problems and alleviate issues such as stress, anxiety and low mood. We worked with 113 clients through the Network; providing 1:1 support and access to our groups and courses.

THE CENTRE FOR BETTER HEALTH LIMITED
THE DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
For some, this support was a lifeline during what was a very isolating time for many. We were able to offer something unique that enabled individuals to socialise with others, share their experiences and be creative. Despite some initial anxiety at joining an online group for the first time, we found that some participants engaged more in our online offer – both owing to the fact that it was easier to fit around other commitments, and that it afforded an additional level of ‘safety’ - given that participants could join in from the security of their own homes. Despite the online format, friendships formed and many participants stayed in touch beyond their groups.
-
113 clients accessed 1:1 support, groups and courses
-
33 online groups and courses delivered
-
289 course places filled from across the Network
-
98% would recommend the course to others
-
88% felt more confident as a result of completing the course/group
-
74% participants made friends and felt part of a community
-
60% showed an improvement in their wellbeing, based on the Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental

Wellbeing Scale
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
The purpose of the social enterprise is to create an environment which encourages the development of work related skills in people who have been affected by mental ill health and to stimulate them to go on to open employment. Depending on ability and interests, individuals are trained in particular job roles. These trainee placements are run within 3 commercial businesses an artisan bakery, a commercial bike shop and a light industrial manufacturing unit. Unfortunately these businesses had to shut for parts of the year and the trainee programme was suspended due to the pandemic.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The directors have power under the trust deed to invest in such assets as they see fit.
RESERVES POLICY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The company carries out a variety of long-term projects. The trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed.
The free reserves at 31st March 2021 amount to £35,286. The trustees consider that to enable its existing projects to continue for the coming year reserves of £250,000 will be needed and it will require donations to meet the balance. Since the balance sheet date donations have been sought and obtained to cover the current shortfall which will enable the charity to continue with the projects on hand.
The trustees actively review the major risks that the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves at the level stated above, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out through an internal audit programme, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also established other operational and business risks that CBH faces and confirm they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

The SOFA shows a surplus for the year of £742.
The year-end financial position, reflected by the balance sheet, is considered satisfactory.
At 31st March 2021, the company had total net assets of £35,286, all of which represented undesignated unrestricted funds.
Budgeting will continue on a prudent basis to ensure that The Centre for Better Health maintains a strong financial position to meet the challenges, which lie in the years ahead.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also directors of The Centre for Better Health Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE CENTRE FOR BETTER HEALTH LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Centre for Better Health Ltd (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the directors' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the directors' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

THE CENTRE FOR BETTER HEALTH LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the directors’ report; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

THE CENTRE FOR BETTER HEALTH LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-
We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations for the company, including the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by:
-
Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud.
-
Considered the internal controls in place to mitigate the risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships
-
Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation
-
Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
9
THE CENTRE FOR BETTER HEALTH LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation (i.e. gives a true and fair view).
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1) Accounting policies
- a) The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees have considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in their assessment of the charitable company's ability to prepare accounts as a going concern. Because of the uncertainties surrounding the effects of the economic slowdown, it is difficult to predict the impact on the charitable company and its beneficiaries, but having taken all the factors into account, the trustees are of the opinion that the charitable company has sufficient resources to continue trading for the next 12 months from the date of signing these accounts.
The Centre for Better Health Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The Centre for Better Health Limited is a private charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales.
b) Depreciation
The cost of fixed assets is written off over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
Equipment 25% straight line Motor Vehicles 20% straight line
c) Future commitments under operating lease agreements
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
d) Income
Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included in incoming resources when these are receivable. Interest receivable is included when received by the charity. Legacies are accounted for when receivables as long as they are capable of financial measurement. Counselling fees and community hub income are recognised when the session or activity take place.
e) Expenditure
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis including irrecoverable VAT.

· Unrestricted general funds – these are funds that can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
· Designated funds – these are funds that are set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
· Restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
g) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

j) Financial instruments
The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
k) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the assets received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
