We attribute this to our strengthen links and partnerships with many statutory agencies. From the 01[st] April 2021 – 31[st] March 2022, we have seen a total of 1890 **new** service users. This figure does not include those who are already accessing our service/services. Many of these new service users will also access more than on of our services/projects. Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 With the increased demand on services and staff, regular clinical supervision (every 4-6 weeks) continues to be provided for all staff, including management. Staff development has been a key priority and after consultation with individual staff members, it was agreed that we would hold our first away day. The away day gave the opportunity for all staff members to come together as one team and to talk about their thoughts and vision for Telford Mind. The feedback from the session was utilised to make organisational changes and considerations for the strategic development of Telford Mind. We have a small team of volunteers that continue to support our work and going forward we will have a focus on volunteering recruitment and opportunities. All staff and volunteers now have access to a comprehensive online training portal that they are required to complete. This training ensures that all staff and volunteers have a high level of training to enable them to carry out their roles effectively. Mandatory training must be refreshed every twelve months. Many staff members have also completed additional training, such as ASIST, SPEAK, PREVENT and Domestic Abuse training. Telford Mind continues to maintain, develop and create partnerships and are firmly established within Telford and Wrekin. Through the dedication of the team and strong partnership working, we are now the go to mental health charity in Telford. The CEO and Operations Manager have continued to work with Lloyds Bank Foundation through their Enhance programme and were allocated a Consultant to provide peer support and business support.

Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 ## **Achievements, Performance and Progression** During this reporting period there has been many achievements and areas of progression for Telford Mind. This reporting period has seen the introduction of five new services: - Inpatient Support - Stay Mindful - Veterans’ Café - Care Leavers - • NEETS During December 2020 the local system was given the opportunity to bid for funds to support timely mental health discharges and prevent admission / readmission. The local voluntary sector was approached and submitted a range of proposals to support the agenda. Following confirmation that the bids were successful, the Council Commissioner and Team Leader for mental health met with the providers to explore how the services would be implemented to prevent duplication and to maximise the outcomes of the funding. This discussion resulted in the development of a proposal called the Mental Health Alliance. The Alliance is based on the experience that Council and Telford Mind have of delivering the Calm Café. A joint approach to delivering support at place which combines the skills and connections of the voluntary and statutory sector. The proposal was presented to MPFT (the commissioners of the funds) and subsequent discussions took place to develop the proposal further. In April 2021, the Telford and Wrekin Mental Health Alliance was formed with key partners to ensure that the most appropriate community services are involved so that individuals are effectively supported within the community. Partners within the Alliance are key representatives from the Voluntary Sector, Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust and the Telford and Wrekin Mental Health Social Work Team. The Alliance meets twice weekly and brings voluntary and statutory sector service providers together to maximise outcomes for people discharged from hospital following an admission at A&E. This coordinated response, ensure a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary approach, rather than operating as separate entities. In September 2021, Telford Mind alongside other partner agencies attended the Project 94 “Can you hear me” for World Suicide Prevention Day event at Southwater Telford. The event raised awareness around male suicide, recognising that 94 men a week take their own lives. There was a visual representation of this truly startling fact with 94 pairs of shoes displaying the number 94. The meaningful and inspirational event reached out to a lot of people and delivered a strong message of “it’s ok not to be ok” and to remind people that there is always someone to talk to. Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 Telford Mind recognised that we needed to do more to engage the Black Community to understand what the barriers were to engaging in current Mental Health support, whilst also gaining feedback on what future projects and services the Black Community felt would be beneficial. Therefore, in October 2021, the Calm Café hosted a Black History month event. The event focused on engagement and for this reason we had lived experience speakers, fun activities and food. The event was a great success and saw over 100 people attend and come together to find out what support is available. In November 2021, the CEO and Operations Manager attended Telford and Wrekin’s full Council meeting for a cheque presentation from the Mayor’s Charity appeal. We continue to show our commitment to the Armed Forces Community, and in January 20212 we launched our Veterans’ Café. The café is a partnership approach between Telford Mind and Telford and Wrekin council. The café is funded through the Armed Forces Covenant Trust. The launch of the Veterans’ café was promoted on BBC Midlands News, both on the radio and TV. The café has proved extremely popular and is becoming firmly established with new members attending. Telford Mind is honoured to be supporting and promoting conversations around mental health in the veteran community. In March 2022, the Calm Café celebrated its second birthday by holding a market stall event where members of the community could come together to find out more about not only the calm café, but also other services that are available to support them. The calm cafes were originally funded for 16 weeks in 2020 and are still operating now. It was identified within the calm cafes that there was an increasing need to provide tailored support that focuses on that have mental health and substance misuse needs and who are regularly in crisis. Therefore, in February 2022, a Dual Diagnosis Café was launched in partnership with the Telford and Wrekin Mental Health Social Work Team, A Better Tomorrow and Branches TACT. The cafes operate twice a week on a referral only basis. As in previous years, the CEO and Operations Manager have continued to positively promote Telford Mind and have ensured that positive working relationships have been maintained with key organisations within Telford and Wrekin, including the Crisis Team and the CMHT. The CEO and Operations continue to sit on several Boards within Telford and Wrekin, including the mental health forum, chief officers’ group, Armed Forces Partnership Board, Suicide Action Prevention Group, Domestic Abuse Forum and the mental health alliance. During this reporting period we increased our staffing levels, from 16 members of staff to 28 members of staff, this looks set to increase further next year. It has been another extremely positive and successful year for Telford Mind as we continue to grow and remain a key part of the community.

This will include statutory work by the Social Worker. ## **Veterans Café** Telford and Wrekin Council and Telford Mind are working in partnership to provide support to veterans within Telford and Wrekin. Anyone of us can be affected by mental health and that’s why it’s important to be able to provide a space for people to speak, break down the stigma associated with mental health and help people get the support they need.

Telford Mind are commissioned by the PCNs to be provided the following roles: - 9 Social Prescribers - 1 Green Social Prescriber - 1 Care Navigator - 1 Health and Wellbeing Coach - Each PCN has a different combination of ARRS roles, these are as follows: - Wrekin PCN (Wellington, Hollinswood and Dawley Medical Practice)- Two Social Prescribers work across the three surgeries. - Newport PCN (Linden Hall, Shawbirch, Wellington Road and Donnington Medical Practice) – Four Social Prescribers with one Social Prescriber allocated per surgery. - SET PCN (Stirchley, Court Street and Woodside Medical Practice) - Three Social Prescribers, a Green SP, Health and Wellbeing Coach and a Care Coordinator. Social Prescribing is a service that is embedded within GP surgeries and aims to connect Patients to community services and activities that supports their health & wellbeing using a therapeutic approach. It can provide a confidential space to talk and explore issues that are negatively affecting physical, mental health and overall wellbeing, taking a things that 'Matter To You’ approach. Social Prescribing can offer practical, helpful, and non-judgmental support. A place to receive advice and guidance. Support to access services, support organisations and community groups. The service aims to improve hope for the future, social connection & independence. The Care Navigator role commenced in July 2021 to enable people with complex, social needs and long-term conditions to stay independent, make informed choices and access services in the community and the NHS to achieve the best possible quality of life and independence. Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 This role has an emphasis on mental health, supporting people with their emotional health, physical and wellbeing needs. A Health and Wellbeing Coach was implemented in October 2021 to work within the SET team. This role supports people to take pro-active steps to improve the way they manage their physical and mental health conditions, based on ‘what matters to me’ approach. The Health and Wellbeing coach supports the development of Patient’s knowledge, skills, confidence in managing their health and care, to improve their health outcomes and quality of life and support them in making changes in health-related behaviours. This support uses coaching and motivation techniques through multiple sessions to identify the Patient’s needs and support them to set goals for themselves, as well as through providing access to interventions such as self-management education and peer support. In November 2021, SET PCN commissioned Telford Mind to deliver Green Social Prescribing.

We encourage active involvement and promote opportunities in the local community, exploring what facilities are available to engage in within the community. ## **Workplace Wellbeing** Telford Mind provides customised mental health support for employers and their employees within Telford and Wrekin. This can include tailored mental health training sessions, one to one listening support and mental health awareness promotional events. This support is offered both face to face and online. This reporting period we have worked with organisations such as Capgemini, Ricoh and Epson. ## **Finances** Funding for the financial period April 2021 - March 2022 funding has been received from the following: - Telford & Wrekin Public Health – Bereavement Support - Citizens Advice Telford – ‘Helping Hands out of Hardship’ project - Telford CCG – Calm Café & Dual Diagnosis Cafe - National Lottery – ‘Making Headway’ - Inpatient Support – MPFT (Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust) - Telford and Wrekin Council - Care Leavers, NEETs, Veterans’ Cafe - South-East Telford Primary Care Network – Social Prescribing (ARRS) - Newport Primary Care Network – Social Prescribing (ARRS) - Wrekin Primary Care Network – Social Prescribing (ARRS) - Stay Telford (Lottery Funded Partnership Project) – Stay Mindful - Capgemini – Corporate partnerships Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 - Donations - Workplace Wellbeing Revenue Last year we saw an increase in donations attributed to Covid 19 activities, this year we have seen donations to return pre-Covid 19 levels. Donations that are received continue to contribute towards service delivery, particularly our one-to-one listening service which is at the heart of what we do but is an unfunded service. The day to day finances/accounting and payroll have moved from an external provider to in house. In the next financial year, this will see the payroll move to an external provider again. ## **Reserves** Telford Mind’s Board of Trustees agreed that the level of reserves that should be held are a minimum of three months’ expenditure. Telford Mind hold £10,673.37 in reserve. If the level of the reserves fund falls below the agreed level the trustees will review Telford Mind’s expenditure and look for opportunities to make savings. If this is not possible Telford Mind will add to its reserves, when the opportunity arises, until the agreed level of reserves is met. ## **Volunteers** Telford Mind continues to be supported by a team of passionate and dedicated volunteers. All volunteers are DBS checked to an enhanced level and have completed the Telford Mind mandatory induction training. ## **Chairperson’s Report 2021/2022** I am delighted to say that 2021/22 saw a continuation of growth in both activity, income and reputation. Although unrestricted fundraising fell, there was significant growth in project income from Telford & Wrekin Council, the Clinical Commissioning Group, Primary Care Networks and others. Turnover has increased from £395,110 in 2020-21 to £715,864 during 2021-22 – an increase of 81% year on year. The Calm Café project has proved a huge success as has managing the Social Prescribing service for all but one Telford PCN. I am proud of what has been achieved through this multi-disciplinary approach and am confident that, going forward, we will continue to see PCNs engaging with us to ensure high quality Social Prescribing, mental health support and other related services. Whilst we do not expect that level of growth to continue, I see no reason why 2022-23 will not maintain this higher level. In line with guidance from national Mind, from 1 April 2023, Telford Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 Mind will transition into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Other than a change of status, there will be no practical difference and service users can continue to expect the same high quality support they currently receive. The number and scope of projects we are involved in continues to increase and broaden. The adaptability of the organisation is well recognised by outside bodies. Telford Mind is well on the way to becoming one of the ‘go-to’ organisations to get things done. Whilst the senior management team remains stable, constant and a team to be incredibly proud of, we have not invested enough in ensuring our administration and internal support services have kept pace. All employees receive supervision support – a chance to offload once a month to a trusted professional – but in terms of bookkeeping, admin and the like I recognise that we have work to do to ensure this is fit for purpose. A number of threats remain constant in our planning, not least of which is further financial cuts in the public sector. Against a backdrop of increasing need, this will prove challenging for our organisation. However, it is a challenge we will face alongside the council, the new Integrated Care Board and other bodies and will work with them to address in the best way possible given the resources available. I want to pay tribute to Louise Heap, CEO, Gemma Coulman-Smith, Operations Manager, and Jennifer Caldecott, ARRS Manager for their diligence, commitment and hard work throughout the year. Without this leadership team – who very often go above and beyond their duties for staff and service users – I think it would be fair to say Telford Mind would not have the reputation as the ‘go-to’ mental health charity in Telford & Wrekin.

This figure does not include those who are already accessing our service/services. Many of these new service users will also access more than on of our services/projects. Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 With the increased demand on services and staff, regular clinical supervision (every 4-6 weeks) continues to be provided for all staff, including management. Staff development has been a key priority and after consultation with individual staff members, it was agreed that we would hold our first away day. The away day gave the opportunity for all staff members to come together as one team and to talk about their thoughts and vision for Telford Mind. The feedback from the session was utilised to make organisational changes and considerations for the strategic development of Telford Mind. We have a small team of volunteers that continue to support our work and going forward we will have a focus on volunteering recruitment and opportunities. All staff and volunteers now have access to a comprehensive online training portal that they are required to complete. This training ensures that all staff and volunteers have a high level of training to enable them to carry out their roles effectively. Mandatory training must be refreshed every twelve months. Many staff members have also completed additional training, such as ASIST, SPEAK, PREVENT and Domestic Abuse training.

Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 ## **Achievements, Performance and Progression** During this reporting period there has been many achievements and areas of progression for Telford Mind. This reporting period has seen the introduction of five new services: - Inpatient Support - Stay Mindful - Veterans’ Café - Care Leavers - • NEETS During December 2020 the local system was given the opportunity to bid for funds to support timely mental health discharges and prevent admission / readmission. The local voluntary sector was approached and submitted a range of proposals to support the agenda. Following confirmation that the bids were successful, the Council Commissioner and Team Leader for mental health met with the providers to explore how the services would be implemented to prevent duplication and to maximise the outcomes of the funding. This discussion resulted in the development of a proposal called the Mental Health Alliance. The Alliance is based on the experience that Council and Telford Mind have of delivering the Calm Café. A joint approach to delivering support at place which combines the skills and connections of the voluntary and statutory sector. The proposal was presented to MPFT (the commissioners of the funds) and subsequent discussions took place to develop the proposal further. In April 2021, the Telford and Wrekin Mental Health Alliance was formed with key partners to ensure that the most appropriate community services are involved so that individuals are effectively supported within the community. Partners within the Alliance are key representatives from the Voluntary Sector, Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust and the Telford and Wrekin Mental Health Social Work Team. The Alliance meets twice weekly and brings voluntary and statutory sector service providers together to maximise outcomes for people discharged from hospital following an admission at A&E. This coordinated response, ensure a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary approach, rather than operating as separate entities. In September 2021, Telford Mind alongside other partner agencies attended the Project 94 “Can you hear me” for World Suicide Prevention Day event at Southwater Telford. The event raised awareness around male suicide, recognising that 94 men a week take their own lives. There was a visual representation of this truly startling fact with 94 pairs of shoes displaying the number 94. The meaningful and inspirational event reached out to a lot of people and delivered a strong message of “it’s ok not to be ok” and to remind people that there is always someone to talk to. Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 Telford Mind recognised that we needed to do more to engage the Black Community to understand what the barriers were to engaging in current Mental Health support, whilst also gaining feedback on what future projects and services the Black Community felt would be beneficial. Therefore, in October 2021, the Calm Café hosted a Black History month event. The event focused on engagement and for this reason we had lived experience speakers, fun activities and food. The event was a great success and saw over 100 people attend and come together to find out what support is available. In November 2021, the CEO and Operations Manager attended Telford and Wrekin’s full Council meeting for a cheque presentation from the Mayor’s Charity appeal. We continue to show our commitment to the Armed Forces Community, and in January 20212 we launched our Veterans’ Café. The café is a partnership approach between Telford Mind and Telford and Wrekin council. The café is funded through the Armed Forces Covenant Trust. The launch of the Veterans’ café was promoted on BBC Midlands News, both on the radio and TV. The café has proved extremely popular and is becoming firmly established with new members attending. Telford Mind is honoured to be supporting and promoting conversations around mental health in the veteran community. In March 2022, the Calm Café celebrated its second birthday by holding a market stall event where members of the community could come together to find out more about not only the calm café, but also other services that are available to support them. The calm cafes were originally funded for 16 weeks in 2020 and are still operating now. It was identified within the calm cafes that there was an increasing need to provide tailored support that focuses on that have mental health and substance misuse needs and who are regularly in crisis. Therefore, in February 2022, a Dual Diagnosis Café was launched in partnership with the Telford and Wrekin Mental Health Social Work Team, A Better Tomorrow and Branches TACT. The cafes operate twice a week on a referral only basis. As in previous years, the CEO and Operations Manager have continued to positively promote Telford Mind and have ensured that positive working relationships have been maintained with key organisations within Telford and Wrekin, including the Crisis Team and the CMHT. The CEO and Operations continue to sit on several Boards within Telford and Wrekin, including the mental health forum, chief officers’ group, Armed Forces Partnership Board, Suicide Action Prevention Group, Domestic Abuse Forum and the mental health alliance. During this reporting period we increased our staffing levels, from 16 members of staff to 28 members of staff, this looks set to increase further next year. It has been another extremely positive and successful year for Telford Mind as we continue to grow and remain a key part of the community.

Donations that are received continue to contribute towards service delivery, particularly our one-to-one listening service which is at the heart of what we do but is an unfunded service. The day to day finances/accounting and payroll have moved from an external provider to in house. In the next financial year, this will see the payroll move to an external provider again. ## **Reserves** Telford Mind’s Board of Trustees agreed that the level of reserves that should be held are a minimum of three months’ expenditure. Telford Mind hold £10,673.37 in reserve. If the level of the reserves fund falls below the agreed level the trustees will review Telford Mind’s expenditure and look for opportunities to make savings. If this is not possible Telford Mind will add to its reserves, when the opportunity arises, until the agreed level of reserves is met. ## **Volunteers** Telford Mind continues to be supported by a team of passionate and dedicated volunteers. All volunteers are DBS checked to an enhanced level and have completed the Telford Mind mandatory induction training. ## **Chairperson’s Report 2021/2022** I am delighted to say that 2021/22 saw a continuation of growth in both activity, income and reputation. Although unrestricted fundraising fell, there was significant growth in project income from Telford & Wrekin Council, the Clinical Commissioning Group, Primary Care Networks and others. Turnover has increased from £395,110 in 2020-21 to £715,864 during 2021-22 – an increase of 81% year on year. The Calm Café project has proved a huge success as has managing the Social Prescribing service for all but one Telford PCN. I am proud of what has been achieved through this multi-disciplinary approach and am confident that, going forward, we will continue to see PCNs engaging with us to ensure high quality Social Prescribing, mental health support and other related services. Whilst we do not expect that level of growth to continue, I see no reason why 2022-23 will not maintain this higher level. In line with guidance from national Mind, from 1 April 2023, Telford Telford Mind Annual Report 2021-2022 Mind will transition into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Other than a change of status, there will be no practical difference and service users can continue to expect the same high quality support they currently receive. The number and scope of projects we are involved in continues to increase and broaden. The adaptability of the organisation is well recognised by outside bodies. Telford Mind is well on the way to becoming one of the ‘go-to’ organisations to get things done. Whilst the senior management team remains stable, constant and a team to be incredibly proud of, we have not invested enough in ensuring our administration and internal support services have kept pace. All employees receive supervision support – a chance to offload once a month to a trusted professional – but in terms of bookkeeping, admin and the like I recognise that we have work to do to ensure this is fit for purpose. A number of threats remain constant in our planning, not least of which is further financial cuts in the public sector. Against a backdrop of increasing need, this will prove challenging for our organisation. However, it is a challenge we will face alongside the council, the new Integrated Care Board and other bodies and will work with them to address in the best way possible given the resources available. I want to pay tribute to Louise Heap, CEO, Gemma Coulman-Smith, Operations Manager, and Jennifer Caldecott, ARRS Manager for their diligence, commitment and hard work throughout the year. Without this leadership team – who very often go above and beyond their duties for staff and service users – I think it would be fair to say Telford Mind would not have the reputation as the ‘go-to’ mental health charity in Telford & Wrekin.
