Our Impact 2023/24

Introduction

Who we are

Everyturn is a mental health charity, committed to the vision of no one struggling alone with their mental health.

Whether our colleagues work on the frontline, in our central support teams, or in our boardroom, we’re united by a belief that every person experiencing mental ill-health deserves to live a satisfying life, with as much independence as possible.

We’re here to support people in a way that’s personal, compassionate, and impactful.

What we do

We’re proud to have been a charity partner to the NHS since 1986.

When we support someone, we care about their whole life. For any of us, having good mental health comes down to having somewhere safe to live, something meaningful to do, and people around us to love.

At Everyturn, we help people to build their confidence, connect to their local communities, and hold onto hope even during the most difficult days of their lives.

We provide our services on behalf of the NHS and local authorities, including talking therapies, crisis support, dementia care, supported housing, specialist nursing, and community wellbeing support.

Chair statement

I was delighted to become chair of this wonderful organisation in September 2024, and I’m enormously proud of Everyturn’s achievements this year.

I joined Everyturn at a time when so much hard work had been done to get the charity onto a stable financial footing. This has allowed us to pursue the organisation’s development, growth, and diversification.

As a board of trustees, we’re also focused on developing Everyturn’s national voice, by using our strong relationships with NHS partners and our innovative ways of working to influence policy and help to shape mental health care.

To support us in this, we’re committed to continuing to grow our board by further developing our skills and welcoming new trustees who have the expertise Everyturn needs to achieve its strategy in the future. I was very pleased to join the board at the same time as Sam McCann, the new chair of our finance committee, and I’m looking forward to welcoming more colleagues in the coming year.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank my fellow trustees, the executive team, and their teams for all their support and making me so welcome.

Also on the horizon is the 40[th] anniversary of Everyturn, as the charity was founded in 1986.

This is a hugely significant milestone, which will also be accompanied by the launch of our refreshed organisational strategy in 2026. That a charity has weathered so many storms, embraced so much change, and changed the lives of so many will certainly be cause for celebration.

Everyturn Mental Health

Chief Executive statement

I’ll start with saying how pleased we’ve been to welcome Heather as our new chair of trustees. Heather brings a new perspective and helpful challenge to me and our executive team.

Heather has a range of public, private, and voluntary sector experience, and has been really encouraging us in the areas of growth, diversification, and environmental sustainability. We’re already benefiting from her experience, expertise, and enthusiasm.

More broadly, as for so many UK charities, this year has been all about the pursuit of elusive balance. We’ve been continually balancing the need to invest in our services, grow our reach, and change even more people’s lives, while maintaining our financial sustainability.

It goes without saying how challenging the health and social care landscape continues to be. The cost-of-living crisis, high inflation, rising energy costs, and demand consistently outstripping funding has meant lots of charities have taken some very difficult decisions, and many have had to close their doors completely.

Everyturn is absolutely not immune to these challenges, but I’m proud that our careful financial management has allowed us to weather this year’s biggest storms. Not only that, but we’ve also made significant progress on our strategic and business objectives, which align with the three key shifts in the NHS’s upcoming 10 Year Health Plan:

To that end, this year we were particularly proud to open the North East’s first Safe Haven, bringing 1:1 crisis support to the high street in Northumberland, opened in partnership with Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear Integrated Care Board, with more planned for 2024/25. We also launched our Complex Transition Support Service, providing case management on behalf of North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, to support people to move out of hospital and back into the community.

Our major technological project, which we refer to as Project Heart, represents a significant investment to replace our clinical systems and create a ‘360 care record’ for every person we support, helping to join up their care and transform the way we work.

Another real highlight this year was our first ever Everyturn Awards event. This brought together colleagues from across the organisation (and the country) to celebrate all we’ve achieved together, and award colleagues who have been nominated and voted for by their peers. It’s no exaggeration to say there was scarcely a dry eye in the house, particularly as we were joined by Julie Bartley – the daughter of our founder, Tom Carpenter – who spoke very movingly about Everyturn being part of her father’s legacy. The event reminded us of why we’re all here.

Making better use of technology.

While we’ve made significant progress this year, it hasn’t been easy, and we’ve had some losses too. Having provided NHS Talking Therapies in Kent and Medway for 10 years, we sadly lost the contract in April 2024 after a highly competitive tender. It was difficult to say goodbye to many excellent colleagues from that service, when they transferred with the new contract.

10 Section 3

Our Impact 2023/24

Another example of attempting to achieve balance was the difficult decision to postpone the pay award for our colleagues, which was originally due to come into effect in October 2024. Instead, we decided to pause the decision until April 2025, to give us time to negotiate uplifts on our service contracts, win new tenders, and make efficiencies across the organisation. By increasing our income and adding additional controls on our spending, we were able to give our hardworking teams an uplift from April 2025.

Ultimately, we’re all here because we want to change lives. We can see the realities that are pushing so many people into crisis, and we want to change them. We can see that personalised, practical support helps people to be well and stay well, and we want to provide it. We can see innovative ways to support the healthcare system, and we want to make them happen.

No single organisation can do it alone, so we’re proud to continue to be a dependable partner to the NHS and our voluntary sector colleagues. Together, we’re innovating, collaborating, and advocating to make sure no one struggles alone.

Our organisational strategy

This year’s impact report covers the third year of our ‘Shaping Our Future Strategy’, which has been one of significant progress in the ongoing transformation of Everyturn.

12 Section 4

Our Impact 2023/24

2024/25 will be the penultimate year of this strategy before its refresh in 2026. Until then, we continue to focus on delivering eight objectives:

This year, we’ve continued to close gaps in the mental health care system, including bringing crisis support to the high street, helping people to move out of in-patient care and into the community, launching a national team of therapists to tackle waiting lists, and becoming a charity provider of NHS telephone-based first response crisis support.

By continuing to join up our own services and strengthen our collaborations with the NHS and our system partners, we’re delivering on our purpose: to make sure no one struggles alone.

Crisis support on the high street: Matt’s story

Matt* contacted our Northumberland Safe Haven because he was having housing issues and had recently been diagnosed with autism, which had pushed him into a mental health crisis.

Our team supported Matt over the phone straight away and booked him in for a face-to-face meeting later that day.

When Matt came to the Safe Haven, the team gave him advice, support, and a safe space to open up about other things that were troubling him. He told the team that he was also facing homelessness, because he was the victim of domestic violence. He described his distress as a zero, the highest level on our scale.

Our team linked Matt up with local housing and domestic abuse services, and also introduced him to Everyturn’s Northumberland Recovery College, where he could find ongoing support to improve his wellbeing.

By the end of Matt’s first meeting with our Safe Haven team, he rated his distress as reduced by five points, a very significant improvement.

*name changed for privacy

From hospital to independence James’ story et

James is 42 and had lived a fully independent life until a car accident left him with a significant brain injury.

James had been in a hospital for some time, which had really limited his freedom and the things he could do for himself. He wanted to go to the gym several times a week, but his care team didn’t feel they could make that happen, as they worried that he wouldn’t be able to manage.

Through Everyturn’s new clinical case management service, our team was able to safely move James out of hospital and into Alderwood, one of our 24-hour nursing services.

Since James moved to Alderwood, he hasn’t had a single safety incident. Instead, he’s built friendships with the other residents, and they enjoy trips out together. He’s rebuilding his living skills and is now living far more independently – including regular trips to the gym.

In June 2024, we also hosted our first annual Everyturn Awards ceremony, recognising outstanding achievements by our colleagues across the organisation. We received over 90 nominations and our celebratory event included 120 colleagues.

We were particularly honoured to be joined by Julie Bartley, the daughter of our late founder. Julie spoke very movingly about her father, Tom Carpenter, and the many ways she sees his legacy alive in Everyturn. We presented a Tom Carpenter Award in his honour, which was given to a colleague chosen by our executive team for embodying the values Tom held closely.

Sustainability at Everyturn

Sustainability is one of four pillars in our 'Shaping Our Future Strategy', reflecting our commitment to delivering social value and having a positive environmental impact in everything we do.

We know the climate crisis requires urgent action, so we recognise Everyturn’s role in reducing our own emissions and influencing other organisations to do the same.

The climate emergency is also a health emergency. It’s already making life hard for many of the people we support, whether through increased living costs, unemployment, or inadequate housing – to name just some of the impacts.

Through our sustainability programme, we will:

We’ve adopted an operational control approach to establishing the boundary, meaning we report emissions from all the sites we operate in, not just the ones we own. We use this method in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the UK government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy environmental reporting guidelines. The calculations were completed on the SmartCarbon[TM] Calculator using the UK government emissions factors.

For National Grid electricity consumption, we’ve included factors for the transmission and distribution of electricity (T&D) losses, which happen between the power station and site(s). The emissions from T&D have been accounted for in Scope 3. As with other Scope 3 impacts, reporting T&D is voluntary but is recommended standard practice by the UK government.

Social value

Our social value delivery group leads our work in measuring, managing, and reporting on the social value generated by our services. The group’s objectives include developing our social value policy and governance processes, research opportunities, and increasing our credibility through award submissions.

This year, we’ve been working with Envoy Partnership to embed ‘Social Value Manager’, Envoy’s bespoke social value calculator across the organisation to produce our baseline calculation (covering the 2022/23 financial year). Our operations teams have compiled key performance indicator data to deliver this analysis. We’re proud to say that our calculated social value for 2023/24 was £111.3 million, with £4.38 of social value delivered for every £1 spent. This included £4.27 for every £1 spent in our NHS Talking Therapies services, £7.13 in our crisis services, and £2.06 in our community services.

Our work is closely connected to the project to deliver our new electronic patient recording systems, which we refer to as Project Heart. The social value delivery group has worked closely with the Project Heart mobilisation team to agree how data will flow from Rio and PCMIS, our new patient management systems, to Social Value Manager. This means that our reporting in future years will be more efficient.

Board effectiveness

The board is committed to ensuring high governance standards and effectiveness in its oversight of Everyturn’s activities. All actions from the 2022 board effectiveness plan were successfully completed, strengthening the Board’s ways of working and strategic focus.

A planned effectiveness review for 2023/24 was put on hold due to the transition in board leadership, including appointing a new chair. This decision allowed the incoming chair to contribute to shaping the review process and make sure it aligns with Everyturn’s evolving needs.

A full board effectiveness review is now scheduled for spring 2025 to build on previous improvements. This will be conducted alongside a refreshed board skills audit, ensuring that the board continues to have the right mix of skills, experience, and perspectives to support Everyturn’s mission effectively.

The board remains committed to continuous improvement and will use the findings from the upcoming review to inform future governance development.

Our Impact 2023/24

Method of appointment or election of trustees

The management of the company and its subsidiaries is the responsibility of the trustees, who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.

Each trustee is appointed for a three-year term and can be reappointed at the end of their three-year term for up to two more terms of three years. No trustee can serve in office for more than nine consecutive years.

However, in exceptional circumstances and if it’s in the interest of the charity, the term of office of a trustee can be extended after they’ve served the maximum number of consecutive terms, as long as their appointment is re-confirmed annually and Everyturn has given its prior consent to the reappointment. Otherwise, a trustee can’t be reappointed beyond their maximum term until they’ve been out of office for at least two years.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

We have a full induction and training programme for trustees that was reviewed during 2023/24.

We make sure all our trustees have appropriate training in safeguarding, data security, health and safety, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and suicide awareness which is delivered by NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations).

All trustees joining the board are allocated an induction buddy.

Governance review

We reviewed the structure of our board sub-committees to improve their oversight, assurance, accountability, and effectiveness.

This review will also support a much more cohesive, collaborative approach with Integrated Care Boards in fulfilling our contractual obligations and giving more time for board to focus on strategy and future planning.

Trustees report 49

Everyturn Mental Health

Quality and performance committee and the board

We’ve fully reviewed our quality and safety indicators to improve the assurance we can give on key quality principles. These are part of our balanced scorecard report and Tableau, our performance analytics tool, with full executive and board oversight.

We track quality indicators in our integrated performance reports, which are reviewed by teams, services, and the board of trustees. Quality indicators include surveys of the people we support, audits, infection prevention and control performance, serious incidents, feedback, complaints, coroners and claims, compliments, finance, safer staffing, safeguarding, and others.

We continue to improve Ulysses, our web-based system for reporting incidents, to increase access and triangulation of information. This year we also successfully launched a ‘subject access request’ module on the system.

We continued to promote our ‘Speaking Up’ culture as part of our whole-system approach to improving standards and protecting the people we support from unacceptable standards of care.

In 2024/25 we will launch our ‘Learning Organisation’ project, which will include the following workstreams:

Patient and Carers Race & Equalities Framework to remove inequalities in outcomes and experience for people we support, and our colleagues from racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse backgrounds.

Project Voice

to review and improve our processes for engaging with the people we support to evaluate and co-create our services.

Quality Improvement

to create a better learning environment to improve outcomes for our services and the people we support.

These three workstreams will support us as an inclusive organisation, developing and improving our services with the voice of the people we support at the heart of it all.

Improvements to quality and safety

In 2024, we restructured our quality and governance department, with the arrival of Niloufar Hajilou, Everyturn’s first Chief Quality Officer. As a member of our executive team, Niloufar has the delegated authority to lead our quality, governance, and risk agenda.

We also welcomed, our first Head of Quality and Safety & a Health & Safety Manager to drive and improve our safety culture.

50 Section 9

Our Impact 2023/24 “e744 \\S

This year we also developed our first quality and safety framework, to help us keep quality at the heart of our organisational strategy. Our new quality statement is:

Building quality and safety capacity, capability, leadership, and infrastructure at Everyturn, to be best-in-class at learning, growing, and delivering high quality-care to people of all ages”

We’ve also made great efforts to reduce duplication and improve our governance structure, the flow of information, and board assurance through a thorough review of our board sub-committees. The new structure will be a platform to improve engagement with our Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), as they will be regular members of the new committees.

Our combined clinical, operational, quality governance and risk function is overseen by our strategic leadership meeting structure and executive management team, and reports to our service quality and performance committee, and the board of trustees.

NHS Talking Therapies service developments

In April 2024 we created a new national waiting list support team for NHS Talking Therapies. This team can now support other providers who are struggling with waiting lists, contributing to our revenue diversification. When not supporting external organisations, the team works flexibly across our own NHS Talking Therapies services where we have vacancies. This approach offers consistency for the people we support and has reduced our dependency on a locum workforce.

We’re incredibly proud to have earned the Royal College of Psychiatrists Accreditation Programme for Psychological Therapies Services (APPTS). This is an accreditation programme for services in the UK that provide psychological therapies, which benchmarks services against APPTS guidelines. Achieving full accreditation is a quality stamp on the services we provide. By staying at the forefront of recommendations, guidance, and best practice, we can make sure that the care we deliver through NHS Talking Therapies brings the best outcomes for the people we support.

Community & crisis service developments

This year we also created a new leadership structure in our community and crisis portfolio, which streamlined our ways of working and gave us clearer management roles and responsibilities, which created opportunities for internal promotion.

This year we launched our mental health first response service, provided as part of NHS 111, and we now work in partnership with two mental health NHS Trusts to support more people in England experiencing crisis. We also mobilised our Northumberland Safe Haven, which has gone from strength to strength, offering immediate support to people in crisis. We continue to work towards rolling out this provision in Newcastle and North Tyneside.

This year has also been an exciting time of developing new specialist residential services. In June 2024, we launched our Complex Transition Support Service, to provide an inpatient case management service across the footprint of North East and North Cumbria ICB. The focus is on patients who are in hospital out-of-area and are clinically ready for discharge. Our team identifies and addresses the specific barriers preventing people from moving to a more appropriate care environment. We launched our new Community Rehabilitation Transition Service in July 2024 , which is designed to support people to take the next step from 24-hour care into the community, using bespoke wraparound support that they know and trust.

Specialist residential service developments

In April 2024, we refined our clinical leadership and management structures across our specialist residential services. This included the creation of new Senior Clinical Lead, Bed Manager, and Operation Support roles. All our residential services continue to be rated as ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). To build on this, we created a ‘Good to Outstanding’ working group to help us progress towards an ‘Outstanding’ rating from the CQC. The working group has gathered expertise, best practice, and resources from across all areas of Everyturn. The group created and implemented standardised workbooks to benchmark our current performance, create a programme of improvement work, and monitor progress.

Trustees report 51

Everyturn Mental Health Finance 52

Our Impact 2023/24

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees are satisfied that Everyturn has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and accordingly continues to adopt the going concern basis as the basis for the preparation of the accounts.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

In our strategic risk register, which the trustees review quarterly, the most significant financial risk facing Everyturn is its reliance on commissioned public contracts in a continuing period of economic instability. To mitigate this risk, we have created an income diversification strategy.

Trustees review liquidity through regular reports including income and expenditure accounts, balance sheets, and cash flow forecasts. To date, our strategy to secure block funding in advance for all significant contracts has been successful, including our new Nottinghamshire partnership. All our services are subject to the risk of increases in purchase price of supplies. As a result of our ongoing review of central costs, we’ve seen recurring efficiency savings and applied the same into our budget for 24/25. Where practical, prices are agreed in advance through supplier quotations and tendering, focusing on key areas within the year to benefit from economies of scale. Our budgeting and forecasting processes are designed to alert management and trustees to potential problems.

We don’t make charges to the people we support for the services we provide, so we have no exposure to credit risk in relation to beneficiaries. Funding from the NHS and local authorities is based on commissioned services under standard public sector contracts. As this funding comes from government-related public bodies, we consider our credit risk to be minimal.

Each of our organisations have interest-bearing assets, in the form of cash deposits, which are subject to changes in interest rates. Significant levels of cash are needed for operating funds, to meet liquidity risk. The increased levels of interest have been recognised in our accounts relating to our cash and investment funds.

Finance 53

Everyturn Mental Health

Free reserves policy

The trustees consider our risk-based reserves policy each year, considering the risks raised by the strategic risk register, which in turn feeds into the investment policy.

This year we kept our reserves policy at the equivalent of six months’ head office costs. The trustees considered the risks facing the group and agreed this was sufficient.

The trustees continue to support the investment needed to deliver our strategic priorities and have agreed several areas which need more investment over the next 12 months to protect the charity from risk, and to deliver on the strategic priorities set over the next three years.

During 2024 we spent £2m of our designated funds set aside in the previous year.

Investment policy and performance

The trustees have the power to invest and deal with the monies that Everyturn doesn’t immediately need for its business purposes, in investments or securities. There were no investments held during the year, and any cash not immediately required was held in bank accounts.

Fundraising

As we focus on commercial activities in line with our 3-year business plan, we didn’t actively fundraise in 2023/24. Our efforts were fully focused on our commissioned income from the NHS, local government, and revenue diversification.

Our plans for 2024/25 include promoting individual giving and working with grantmaking organisations as part of our income diversification strategy.

Finance 55

Everyturn Mental Health

Funds held as custodian on behalf of others

Everyturn works with other organisations in pursuit of its charitable objectives and holds funds as a custodian on behalf of others. During our 2023/24 financial year, we administered funds on behalf of partner agencies and committees, to ‘host’ and develop projects whose objectives are mental health carerelated. These functions are part of Everyturn’s role as an enabling organisation in the local mental health arena.

The people we support are sometimes unable to take full control of their own financial affairs, so Everyturn is asked to receive their welfare benefits on their behalf. We hold residents’ money separately from those of the charity and we account to the residents and their carers for our actions. The funds are included in our cash deposits and the amounts owed to residents are held in creditors.

Pay policy for senior colleagues

Members’ liability

All employees of Everyturn Mental Health, including all senior colleagues, are paid within our approved pay structure, and we evaluate any role when it’s created, or when changes in responsibilities are needed.

The members of the company and its subsidiaries guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up.

Colleagues are appointed to a salary band, which includes a range of salaries to reflect the experience and skills highlighted in the job evaluation. The range of salaries allows colleagues to incrementally increase their earnings towards the top of their salary band. Colleagues have regular performance reviews with their line managers. Any proposed pay awards are presented to the trustees via the remuneration committee for approval each year.

Auditors

In accordance with the Companies Act 2006 a resolution proposing the appointment of external auditors for the year ending 30 September 2024 has been put to the members.

We’re commissioning a formal benchmarking review of senior colleague reward by an external consultancy in 2024/25.

Our remuneration committee meets annually to consider the wider pay awards for colleagues,

as well as senior management salaries above £90k. 56 Section 10 mith

Financial performance

We’ve made progress on delivering our business plan, including developing our NHS Talking Therapies waiting list proposition, with a national team of therapists to support NHS Trusts with long waiting lists. We’ve also expanded our crisis services to include telephone-based first response support across two contracts, as well as launching the North East’s first mental health Safe Haven and expanding our Distress Brief Intervention provision.

In our bed-based services, we’ve developed a community rehabilitation support pathway which builds on our strengths and makes use of our housing stock. We’ve also successfully developed a new Complex Transition Support Service model to support people in out-ofarea inpatient beds return to the North East and North Cumbria.

Our annualised operating costs were 13% lower than in 2022/23, largely due to the closure of our NHS Talking Therapies service in Kent and Medway, representing over £4.8 million.

Our workforce numbers remained steady and we continue to be a Real Living Wage Employer. This is part of our investment in our colleagues in roles that are essential to delivering excellence in the services we provide.

Cash and cash equivalents have grown 68% since last year, which is mostly as a result of savings across our NHS Talking Therapies services, combined with a lower designated fund spend than the previous year.

Everyturn Mental Health is the trading name of Everyturn a registered charity (charity number 519332) and a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (company number 02073465) and Everyturn Services Ltd, company registered in England & Wales (company number 4391008).

Independent auditor's report to the members of Everyturn

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Everyturn (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated balance sheet, the charity balance sheet, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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:

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 group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 group's or the parent 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 annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual 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. 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' report including the Strategic report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Everyturn (continued)

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We identified areas of law and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general and sector experience and through discussions with the governors and other management (as required by Auditing Standards) and from inspection of the charitable company's legal correspondence and we discussed with the Trustees and other management the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with the laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

Firstly, the charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related companies legislation) and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Secondly, the charitable company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect; health and safety, employment law, data protection, environmental law, safeguarding and certain aspects of company legislation, recognising the nature of the charitable company's activities. Auditing Standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures we did not become aware of any actual or suspected non-compliance material to the financial statements.

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.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 September 2024

Everyturn

1. General information

Everyturn is a charitable company limited by guarantee and incorporated in England and Wales. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Everyturn meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £'000.

The consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking, Everyturn Services Ltd. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own statement of financial activities in these financial statements.

2.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and accordingly continues to adopt the going concern basis as the basis for the preparation of the accounts.

2.3 Income

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance obligations have been met, the amount can be measure reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions and is recognised as earned. Grant income included in this category provides funding to support performance activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income received to deliver services over a specific period covering more than one financial year is accounted for over the specific period; related expenditure is accounted for when incurred.

Investment income is interest on funds held on deposit, is recognised when receivable and when the amount can be measured reliably by the group, this is normally upon notification of the interest paid of payable by the bank.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

For the subsidiary undertaking, the taxation expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax and is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income, or directly in equity, in which case the tax expense is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods. It is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods, and arises from ‘timing differences’ (where transactions or events are included in the financial statements in periods different from those in which they are assessed for tax). Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences, except that unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing differences.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets costing £5,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable, and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets from the point at which they become available for use, at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Asset residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £5,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Freehold property - 50 years straight-line
Leasehold property improvements - shorter of the lease term or 50 years
Fixtures and fittings - 1 - 10 years straight-line
Motor vehicles 3 years straight line
Office equipment - 4 years straight-line

Assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and adjusted if appropriate. The effect of any change is accounted for prospectively.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to the statement of financial activities.

Property whose fair value can be measured reliably are held under the valuation model and are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of valuation less and subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent impairment losses. The fair value of the land and buildings is usually considered to be their market value.

Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in other recognised gains and losses and accumulated in equity, except to the extent that a revaluation gain reverses a revaluation loss previously recognised in net income/(expenditure) or a revaluation loss exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains recognised in equity; such gains and losses are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Everyturn

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 September 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Fixed asset investments

In the charity balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2.11 Creditors and provisions for liabilities

Liabilities and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.12 Financial instruments

The group 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.13 Employee benefits

Short-term benefits

Short-term benefits, including holiday pay and other similar non-monetary benefits are recognised as an expense in the period in which the employee’s entitlement to the benefit accrues.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the group is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Defined contribution pension plan

The group operates a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. Contributions are recognised as an expense when they fall due. Amounts due but not yet paid are included within creditors on the balance sheet.

The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Defined benefit pension plan

The group also participates in the NHS defined benefit pension scheme. The scheme is a multiemployer scheme where it is not possible, in the normal case of events, to identify on a consistent and reasonable basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employees. Therefore, as required by FRS 102, the group accounts for this scheme as if it was a defined contribution scheme. The amount charged to the statement of financial activities represents contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

2.14 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the group and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant judgments in applying the group's accounting policies

Onerous contract provisions

IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) contracts with NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups for the delivery of mental healthcare services have the potential to be loss-making where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefit expected to be received under it. Provisions for onerous contracts involves judgment and estimation and are recognised based on managements' best estimate of the unavoidable costs under a contract reflecting the minimum net costs of exiting the contract, taking into consideration forecast losses over the contractual notice periods remaining.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors do not consider there to have been any other significant judgments.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates included within these financial statements include asset impairments (for example provisions against debtors).

Accrued income

The group enters into contracts with customers with varying contract periods. Management consider that the main judgment and source of estimation arises from the estimation of progress within the specified services for amounts held as accrued income, and the assessment of the level of profitability around key contracts.

No other estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements are considered to carry significant estimation uncertainty, nor to bear significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

The group has adopted a policy of revaluation for land and buildings. Had these assets been measured at historic cost, the carrying values would have been as follows:

Designated funds

Project Heart

This is a significant project for the design and implementation of 2 new clinical systems to replace 3 existing and outdated systems

Delivery of strategic objectives

Funds were set aside for a number of other projects to allow us to meet our strategic objectives, which include:

Digital strategy

Investment to support digital transformation was made in 2023/24 through the designated funds set aside.

Other projects

These projects are not specifically against strategic objectives but represent funds set aside for where significant investment is needed, such as in Estates and property maintenance to ensure our buildings and facilities remain fit for purpose.

Older person's strategy

The trustees recognised the need to invest further funds to improve the environments of our Older People's Services, and the potential investment required to do so. A full assessment was undertaken in 2023/23 through the designated fund to kick start the potential investment required.

Restricted funds

Building Better Opportunities

A local employability programme to help people in Tyne and Wear who are unemployed and have a health barrier, disability, additional learning need or autism get into employment, training or volunteering.

26. Pension commitments

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the group to the fund and amounted to £903,626 (2023: £745,576).

The group also participates in the NHS defined benefit pension scheme. The scheme is a multi-employer scheme where it is not possible, in the normal case of events, to identify on a consistent and reasonable basis, the share of underlying assets and liabilities belonging to individual participating employees. Therefore, as required by FRS 102, the group accounts for this scheme as if it was a defined contribution scheme. The amount charged to the statement of financial activities represents contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the group to the fund and amounted to £258,674 (2023: £254,837).

Contributions totalling £175,813 (2023: £235,796) were payable to the funds at the balance sheet date and are included within other creditors.
