## **Section 1 Introduction**
## **Who we are**
**Everyturn is a mental health charity, and we’re committed to doing all we can to make sure no one struggles alone with their mental health.**
Whether our colleagues are nurses, therapists, trustees, administrators, organisers, or support workers, what brings us together is our belief that every person experiencing mental ill-health deserves to live a satisfying life, with dignity, choice, and hope.
2026 will mark Everyturn’s 40[th] anniversary: four decades of a journey from small beginnings as a single dementia care home, to the national provider of specialist services it is today. We’re so proud to have built that history in partnership with the NHS.
## **What we do**
**We’re here for people in their darkest, most difficult days. We’re here for people who find it hard to leave the house. We’re here for people who know it’s time for their parent with dementia to be cared for by others. We’re here for teenagers who’ve never shared their worries with their mates.**
We’re here for people who’ve lost their confidence after years of being out of work. We’re here for people who feel completely alone, because their families have long stopped speaking to them. We’re here for people who can’t remember what life feels like outside a hospital.
And we know what it’s like to face these challenges, because we’ve been there too. Many of our colleagues bring their own lived experience of mental ill-health and know how hard it can be to find support.
At heart, we all need the same things to stay well: somewhere safe to live, something interesting to do, and people around us to love.
Whether we support someone through teaching life skills, connecting them with new friends, helping them feel part of something bigger, being a friendly face, a listening ear, or a safe pair of hands: we’re here at Everyturn.
We’re proud to provide our services on behalf of the NHS. These include talking therapies, crisis support, dementia care, hospital step-down, children and young people’s services, specialist nursing, and community wellbeing support.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Chair’s introduction**
**It’s over a year since I’ve joined Everyturn as chair of the board of trustees – and what a year it’s been.**
**As you’ll see in these pages, the organisation has made great progress against our eight strategic objectives: expanding our services, increasing the quality of what we deliver, improving our ways of working, and now supporting children and young people for the first time in the charity’s history.**
We took a fresh look at how our board is run this year. As a result, we simplified our committees and made it clearer how information and assurance flow up to the board. We also completed a board effectiveness review, and we’re now putting its recommendations into action. On top of that, we updated our board skills audit, which is helping us plan how we recruit and develop our trustees for the future.
With that in mind, I’d like to welcome the new trustees who have joined our board in 2024/25: Dr Janis Smith and Prianka Jaidka. They each bring considerable experience and expertise, along with helpful new perspectives, to Everyturn’s board meetings and subcommittees. My fellow trustees, the executive team, and I are delighted and grateful they have joined us.
We’ll consult and engage with our colleagues, partners, and the people we support to guide Everyturn’s direction in this new strategy, helping us to reach and support more people in new ways. More on that to come!
In the meantime, I’d like to give heartfelt thanks to our colleagues on behalf of all our trustees, for their unflinching commitment and care for the people we support. Everyturn can only be the organisation it is because of you. Thank you.
## **Heather Benjamin (she/her) Chair of the Board of Trustees**
A huge thank you to all our trustees for their support to Everyturn as an organisation. I’d also like to thank Steven Bainbridge, who retired from our board and the role of vice chair this year, for all the ways he has helped to shape and guide Everyturn and supported me in my role.
It's from Everyturn’s strong position that we’re pleased to report on this year, that we’re now also looking to the future. 2025/26 will see not only the 40[th] anniversary of Everyturn, but also the development and launch of our new 10-year organisational strategy.

**Everyturn Mental Health**
## **Chief Executive’s introduction**
**I’m so proud of what our colleagues at Everyturn have achieved this year. Amid the swirl of economic, political, and healthcare challenges, our colleagues have continually increased the scale and depth of the care they offer.**
**This report is primarily a celebration of the impact Everyturn has had on people’s lives. There are too many examples to name here, so I’m going to tell you about Tom. I have changed his name for privacy, but his story is real.**
Tom had been living on the streets for months when his phone broke, which left him without means of getting any help. So he walked into our North Tyneside safe haven, which offers drop-in crisis support on the high street. Our team galvanised around Tom, gave him a new phone, and connected him to organisations who would help him to find food and accommodation. When Tom came to the safe haven, he rated his wellbeing 1/10. By the time he left, he gave it a nine. Without immediate support to tackle the issues he was facing, Tom could easily have fallen through the cracks.
## **People like Tom are at the heart of the NHS’s 10 Year Health Plan, which launched this year and focuses on three central shifts:**
Moving care from hospitals to communities.
Making better use of technology.
In June 2025, I visited Westminster with a number of Everyturn colleagues to host a drop-in event for MPs. We showcased the innovative ways that we collaborate with our NHS partners to give people the specialist support they need, and emphasised the contribution that VCSEs can make to meeting the NHS’s ambitious targets and tackling the challenges it’s facing.
A perfect illustration of Everyturn working in partnership with the NHS to provide community-based care is the launch of two more Everyturn safe havens in the North East: one in North Tyneside and the other in Newcastle city centre. While we’re aiming for a world in which high street crisis support isn’t needed because people are supported earlier, the challenges people are facing are very real and too many people struggle to get the support they need.
Our clinical case management service is another example of the ‘from hospital to community’ shift in action. This new service, developed in partnership with North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, supports people with complex needs in hospital placements all over the country to make the transition back to their home community, into more suitable support. We’re proud of the great success and positive outcomes of this service.
Focusing on preventing sickness, not just treating it.
We welcome the plan’s emphasis on these areas, as they’ve been at the centre of our work at Everyturn for many years. Everyturn was founded nearly 40 years ago on the principle that mental health support should be dignified, centred on each person’s uniqueness, and rooted in community.
**10**
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
This year has seen the launch of Hope Haven, one of six pilot 24/7 community mental health hubs commissioned by NHS England, which we're delivering with the NHS and four other VCSE providers. The ground-breaking service will support people in Whitehaven, Cumbria with their mental health and practical issues impacting their wellbeing, such as housing, money, and employment.
Another hugely significant milestone this year was our merger with Streetwise Young People’s Project, a well-loved and respected charity that’s supported children and young people for over 30 years. With the brilliant team from Streetwise, we’re now providing school hubs and counselling for young people in the North East, with big plans to expand in new areas and with more services.
We've also co-developed a new 24-hour rehabilitation service with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM), which will see Everyturn expand its reach into the capital for the first time. Our North East colleagues who deliver this clinically-led rehabilitation model were instrumental in our contract award, as the SLaM team visited several of our services during the development of our partnership. We’re delighted to have the opportunity to build on our proven service models for the communities of south London.
In 2024/25 we made great strides in Everyturn’s major digital transformation project, which saw the launch of two new clinical management systems covering our NHS Talking Therapies, community, crisis, and residential services. Despite the curve balls that any large project like this can throw into the mix, this is a huge step towards our goal of having truly joined-up systems that create a ‘360-degree’ care record for each person we support.
Together, these achievements reflect the dedication, compassion, and expertise of our colleagues and partners. We're looking ahead with confidence: grounded in the progress we’ve made, clear-eyed about the challenges we face, and determined to create new opportunities to improve the lives of the people and communities we’re here for.

## **Section 4 Our organisational strategy**
**This year’s impact report covers the fourth year of our ‘Shaping Our Future’ strategy, which has guided Everyturn’s direction and priorities since 2021.**
**12**
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
**Through this strategy, we’ve developed new crisis services, made new partnerships, advocated for community mental health care, reached more people than ever before, transformed our colleagues’ experience of Everyturn, started supporting children and young people for the first time, and transformed our digital systems.**
**We will soon develop our new strategy and launch it in 2026. Until then, we continue to focus on our eight strategic objectives:**
- Deliver our 3-year equity, diversity, and inclusion strategy to make EDI central to our culture.
- Deliver a 3-year people strategy to transform the way we work with our colleagues and the people we support.
- Deliver our digital strategy to transform our organisation with a focus on technology and a digital culture.
- Deliver a new programme of clinical, corporate & information governance across the organisation.
- Ensure we become a leader in sustainable practice within healthcare and will reach net zero.
- Develop a standardised organisational-wide recovery-focused approach.
- Deliver a 3-year programme of proposition developments for all our services.
- Ensure we continue to deliver the 3-year business plan, with a focus on income and service diversification.
A significant project in 2025/26 will be to develop and launch our new organisational strategy. It’ll build on what we’ve learned over the last five years, focus on Everyturn’s unique contribution to mental health in a changing world, and guide our decisions for the next 10 years.
To shape our strategy, we’ll first ask the views and perspectives of the people we support, our colleagues, our partners, and our senior leaders and trustees, to make sure that our choices fit with what they tell us is important to them.

**14**
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
**We will deliver our 3-year equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) strategy to make EDI central to Everyturn’s culture**
- During 2024/25, colleagues had access to 40+ specialist learning opportunities, covering antiracism, LGBTQ+ inclusion, neurodiversity and learning disability, menopause and perinatal support, and reducing health inequalities.
- This year, we also began working with Business in the Community, the UK’s largest responsible business network, to strengthen our approach to inclusion, sustainability, and social impact. As part of this work, we introduced listening circles on racial equality at Everyturn, allowing us to hear directly about our colleagues’ own experiences.
- We continued to offer certificates of sponsorship to support people who already live in the UK to transition into work or change visa status, including supporting students into employment. This approach helps us remove barriers to work, keep our skilled colleagues, and give fair access to employment opportunities.
- As a strong indicator of how our colleagues feel as a result of our activities supporting this objective, in our colleague wellbeing survey this year, 78% said they feel they can be themselves at work.
**We will deliver a 3-year people strategy to transform the way we work with our colleagues and people we support**
- We significantly expanded our learning offer, with our colleagues spending 25,800 learning hours this year on over 500 courses supporting clinical excellence, inclusive practice, leadership and management, wellbeing and resilience, safeguarding and safety, and digital and operational capability. This allows colleagues at all career stages to have the skills and support they need to deliver high-quality, person-centred care.
- We strengthened colleague voice through a rolling programme of 30 listening sessions, led by our executive team and trustees, to create safe spaces for colleagues to share experiences, raise concerns, and guide improvement.
- We completed our first ‘Future Leaders’ programme of training, focused on developing our colleagues and supporting their career progression. 12 of the 15 participants progressed into promoted roles after taking part.

## **Everyturn Mental Health**
## **We will deliver our digital strategy to transform our organisation, with a focus on technology and a digital culture**
- We introduced two new digital patient systems, Rio and PCMIS, for our NHS Talking Therapies services, and our community, crisis, and specialist nursing teams. We’ll continue to fine-tune these platforms to give us a 360° view of each person’s care and reduce administration time for our teams.
- We’re improving the security and reliability of our digital systems by tightening permissions and working closely with our security partner. We’re also maintaining important accreditations like ISO 27001, DBS 1596 (NHS Secure Mail), and Cyber Essentials, renewing them every year.
- We’re making better use of our data to create new income opportunities. We started by reviewing all our data sources to understand their quality, relevance, and potential value, and we identified which datasets have the strongest commercial potential.
## **We will become a leader in sustainable practice within healthcare and will reach net zero**
- For our consistent progress in reducing our use of resources and for high colleague engagement, we were awarded silver accreditation by Investors in the Environment. The award also recognised the robust environmental processes we have in place, including a separate travel plan, waste management plan, and sustainable procurement policy.
- We developed a biodiversity action plan with our green space partner, which included planting over 150 trees and 1,000 bulbs across our sites.
- Through our commitment to delivering our bespoke Carbon Literacy training to our colleagues, we were awarded Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation status. Over 50 colleagues went through the training during the year, with objectives being set around travel, food, waste and procurement.
- We reduced our controllable carbon emissions by 12% from our baseline year (2022). This included emission reductions in areas such as business travel, waste, and energy.

Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **We will deliver a new programme of clinical, corporate, and information governance across the organisation**
- We strengthened our clinical and governance leadership by hiring new roles: a Clinical Director, an Information Governance Manager, and a Risk & Assurance Manager. These roles give us even more oversight of clinical standards, information governance, risk, and overall quality.
- We strengthened our oversight of safeguarding and clinical quality, launched new quality and safety frameworks, and introduced a learning-focused approach to patient safety incidents to encourage openness, compassion, and continuous improvement.
- We improved how we identify, understand, and act on risks and learning. We strengthened risk oversight, improved our governance meetings and reports, and combined information from incidents, complaints, audits and feedback so we can take action sooner and more effectively.
- We strengthened information governance and safe staffing. We achieved an “Exceeded Standards” rating in the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, improved how we learn from information governance issues, and introduced safe staffing guidance to support colleague wellbeing and ensure people receive high quality care.
- We appointed new directors to the Everyturn Services Ltd subsidiary board, along with a new Independent Chair (starting in November 2025), to focus on subsidiary specific performance, risk, and compliance.
## **We will deliver a 3-year programme of proposition development for all our services**
- We’ve delivered our merger with Streetwise Young People’s Project, an award-winning North East charity that has delivered mental health and wellbeing support to children and young people since 1991. This means we now provide counselling, youth work, and mental health and wellbeing support, with plans to develop new models of support, built on our successful adult services (such as crisis alternatives).
- We’ve continued to expand our alternative to crisis services, including two new mental health safe havens in Newcastle and North Tyneside, following our successful launch in Northumberland last year.
- We’ve grown our community services to support more people, including people with long-term conditions in Newcastle and people who are prescribed antipsychotic medication in South Tyneside.
- Alongside Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust and local community partners, Everyturn has been chosen to deliver crisis support in Whitehaven, Cumbria. Hope Haven is one of seven national pilot sites which deliver 24/7 access to crisis support, based on the Trieste model.
- We launched the new ICB-wide Derby and Derbyshire NHS Talking Therapies service in July 2025, in collaboration with Vita Health Group. This built on the strength of our existing partnership with Vita in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, which gave us a really positive foundation for this mobilisation.
**17**
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Everyturn Mental Health**
## **We will develop a standardised organisational-wide recovery focused approach**
- This year, we shifted from designing a single, prescriptive recovery model to building a stronger and more sustainable clinical approach that can better support the people who use our services, accounting for their unique journey.
- We've prioritised developing a coherent organisationwide safe practice strategy, aligning Everyturn with national NHS priorities and best-practice clinical governance. At the heart of this work is our commitment to improving people’s lives, wherever they are in their recovery journey.
- We've also begun planning the formation of Everyturn’s clinical community. This will bring together clinicians from across the organisation to promote consistent standards, embed shared learning, and enhance clinical effectiveness. The community will serve as a central hub for developing and spreading good practice, improving outcomes, and strengthening our collective focus on recovery. This work is underpinned by our improvements to safeguarding, clinical governance, and policy leadership.
## **We will continue to deliver our 3-year business plan, with a focus on revenue diversification**
- For the first time, we’ve set new in-year income targets to track delivery against our annual business plan. The contracts we’ve been awarded this year secured £35.9m of income across their lifetime, including £3.1m of new income in this year’s accounts.
- After a successful tender process, we’ve grown our NHS Talking Therapies services in Derby and Derbyshire, expanding our successful partnership with Vita Health Group. Our new contract will see us deliver NHS Talking Therapies to people in Amber Valley, North East Derbyshire and Bolsover, Chesterfield, and the Derbyshire Dales.
- We’ve been appointed to two NHS Frameworks to deliver NHS Talking Therapies and alternatives to crisis. This includes the national Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism Framework, managed by NHS Shared Business Services.
- Our board of trustees, executive team, and strategic leadership team have continued to explore revenue diversification opportunities, building on our successful service models. We’ve agreed a strategic project to develop and launch a self-pay talking therapy service next year, alongside an increased focus on fundraising.

**Our Impact 2026/27**
## **Tracey's story I now have the courage I was missing**
**Our Community Mental Health Support Service in Newcastle upon Tyne gives up to 12 weeks of support to adults with serious mental illness or complex mental health needs, to help them feel well and stay well.**
**Here’s what Tracey (name changed for privacy) told us about the difference it had made to her:**
I was almost on the verge of a mental breakdown, and I was struggling and didn’t want to live anymore. I was also self-harming. I just couldn’t take any more. When the referral was offered to me, I was a bit unsure at first because I was very self-conscious and don’t cope too well around lots of people. But I have found this referral to be a big help, and the support was a game changer for me.
My support worker was amazing. She listened to everything I said without judging me. She sat with me and explained in a way I understood. She explained how to use coping skills to help with how I was feeling. She sent me information on autism spectrum disorder support, with me being autistic. She helped link me with community groups to meet other people as I was very isolated. She also helped me reduce my self-harming.
My wellbeing has improved so much. I’m now starting to put one foot forward and I’ve signed up for a gym membership. I’ve learned that being afraid to try new things is normal, but not everything in life is going to go wrong. If there’s something that I really want to do and I’m afraid to move forward, take a moment, breathe, and put that one foot forward and give it a try. I must try otherwise I’ll never know if it would have been a good thing or just something that wasn’t for me.
I now have the courage I was missing to do this. Instead of being afraid of my mental health, I embrace it. I can honestly say that without this support, I wouldn’t be here today.
Being linked to a support worker has made me feel like I’m not alone and I’m worthy. I have received support in the past, but I always felt like I wasn’t fully listened to and that I was just a number, not a person. Knowing my support worker has also gone through things herself makes me feel more supported than I ever have.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
**Stu (name changed for privacy) is from the North East, but after experiencing psychosis he’d been admitted to an East Midlands hospital, where he’d lived for around two years. Stu is also autistic and has a learning disability.**
Once Stu's symptoms stabilised, he was ready to go home and wanted to move back near his family in the North East. It was difficult for Stu’s hospital team to find a place for him in the community, as he needed support from a team that had a clear understanding of his needs, to help him to manage his feelings of overwhelm, as Stu would sometimes behave in physically challenging ways as a way to cope.
It was really important that Stu had the right team to support him in his move to the community, a team who would understand and support him to live life as independently as possible.
Our clinical case management service, commissioned by North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, took on Stu’s case to develop a gradual, careful transition plan for him.
Our case management team found a suitable care provider and a property for Stu to move into, and they worked with his care team to develop a transition plan for two weeks before he was discharged from hospital. The team from the care provider worked from Stu’s hospital, rather than Stu being the one who had to travel.
Our case manager arranged for Stu to be given photos of his new home and they kept his family and care teams involved at all points. Our case manager also worked alongside social workers to ensure that everyone working with Stu had the right skills and training. This meant that everyone was able to support Stu’s medical needs and that the provider had the appropriate governance and processes in place.
Stu is now settled into his home, going into his local community every day and even preparing his own meals. He’s enjoying showing people around his home and his care team report that he’s really happy. Stu’s also taking part in regular activities and his care team have even arranged for him to have horse riding lessons. His family can see him whenever they like, and he’s enjoying having them close by.
Stu’s living life on his own terms now, without the restrictions of hospital but with all the support he needs. This is the most important outcome, but the move has also saved the NHS an estimated £236,006 annually, compared to him being in an out-of-area hospital.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Colleague wellbeing**
**Our colleagues do remarkable work, but it isn’t always easy – they have specialist roles that are emotionally, intellectually, and physically demanding. Together with wider societal challenges, like rising living costs, it’s more important than ever that we give colleagues the support they need.**
## **Wellbeing hub**
**This year we launched a new Wellbeing Hub on our intranet, bringing together all our wellbeing support in one accessible place. The hub signposts colleagues to a wide range of resources, including:**
## **New wellbeing provider**
**In January 2025 we moved to a new wellbeing provider, introducing the Smart Clinic Enhanced+ package in response to colleagues’ feedback about our previous provider.**
Leave entitlements
Volunteering opportunities
Smart Clinic access
- Financial wellbeing support (including salary draw-down through the Stream financial management app)
Manager guidance
Pension advice
- Tailored support for parents and neurodivergent colleagues
By making support easier to find, the Wellbeing Hub helps colleagues access the right support at the right time, as part of our commitment to creating a healthy, inclusive, and supportive working environment.
Colleagues had told us that while they rarely used elements of our previous package, they wanted additional mental health support and more opportunities to access help independently. The colleagues in our workplace experience group played a key role in gathering and sharing the original feedback, which meant that the new package reflected what people genuinely wanted and needed.
Since moving to Smart Clinic, colleagues have benefited from improved access to mental health support, confidential self-referral options, and a wider range of wellbeing resources.
The service has been very positively received, achieving an average satisfaction rating of 4.69 out of 5. This reflects our commitment to listening to colleagues, acting on their feedback, and continuing to invest in support that helps people feel valued, supported, and able to thrive at work.

## **Career development**
We continued to invest meaningfully in career development this year, with 16 colleagues starting new apprenticeships and 29 active apprenticeship programmes supporting professional growth across the organisation.
Alongside this, our Leadership Development and Future Leaders programmes equipped colleagues to lead through change, embrace challenge, and align their personal values with their work, supporting both career progression and wellbeing.
Reflecting our focus on growing internal talent, 4.5% of employees moved into new roles or were promoted internally.
## **Celebrating our colleagues**
We continued our Values Awards at our bi-monthly 'Get Together' live town hall events this year, to celebrate all the ways our colleagues demonstrate our values. These awards include Innovation, Compassion, Accountability, Respect, Excellence, and the Green Award for colleagues who find creative ways to increase Everyturn’s environmental sustainability. These awards become more popular every year: in 2024/25, colleagues made a total of 269 nominations!
In June 2025, we also hosted our second annual Everyturn Awards ceremony, recognising outstanding achievements by our colleagues across the organisation. This year we were delighted to receive over 157 nominations, with the winners chosen by a panel of colleagues and leaders from across the organisation.
We continued a tradition we established in 2023/24, presenting the Tom Carpenter Award to a winner chosen directly by our executive team, as someone who embodies the values that were most important to Tom. This year’s winner was Justine Harrison, a long-serving colleague from our 24-hour specialist residential services.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Listening to our colleagues**
## **Colleague survey results**
**Along with strengthening our Freedom to Speak Up practices, during 2024/25, we ran a colleague experience and wellbeing survey, with 47.3% of colleagues responding. Results show that** :
- 82% of respondents said their work is meaningful and 77% find it fulfilling.
- 65% reported feeling enthusiastic at work and 62% felt connected to their colleagues.
- Colleagues also reported high levels of psychological safety and trust: 87% feel confident speaking to their manager about health concerns, 83% feel confident opening up to colleagues, and 88% believe their mental health concerns would be taken seriously and fairly.
- Around half of our colleagues feel work has a positive impact on their wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on a sense of purpose and fairness across the organisation.
- Colleagues feel that our expectations are clear and we’re an inclusive place to work: with 86% saying their role expectations are clear and 92% believing our colleagues are treated equally regardless of gender, race, sexuality or other characteristics.
## **Hearing directly from our colleagues**
We continued to engage colleagues through a range of forums and networks, including LGBTQIA+, menopause, neurodiversity, and our workplace experience group. Through these forums, we've created opportunities for our colleagues to influence the shape of the organisation and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute their perspectives and ideas.
This year we also introduced listening circles on racial equality at Everyturn, in partnership with Business in the Community. These were designed to be safe spaces for colleagues to share their honest experiences and give feedback about how we can make Everyturn an even more inclusive place to work.
Our strategic leadership team and trustees also planned 30 colleague listening sessions across the year, focusing on the themes of change and what more Everyturn can do to nurture a psychologically safe and respectful workplace. These sessions were attended by colleagues from across our services and departments. This year we also introduced sessions for line managers, to give them opportunity to reflect and give feedback among their peers.
Although 27% of colleagues said they feel anxious and 38% feel overwhelmed at times, many also experience strong work–life balance. 84% feel encouraged to balance work and life and 82% said their manager sets a good example in this area.
These results show we have encouraging strong foundations, but also give us a clear steer on the opportunities we have to support our colleagues even more and strengthen connection across the organisation.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Environmental sustainability**
Supporting a person’s wellbeing involves working with everything that’s important to them, and that includes where and how they’re able to live their life.
The climate emergency is also a health emergency. Its effects will increase the challenges that already make life hard for so many of the people we support: the cost of energy and food, inadequate housing, overstretched public services, unemployment, or a feeling of things being out of control.
**Sustainability is therefore one of four pillars in our ‘Shaping Our Future’ strategy and we can see the progress made in 2024/25 across all areas of the organisation through:**
- We reduced our controllable carbon emissions by 12% from our baseline year (2022). This figure includes carbon emissions from energy, travel, and waste.
**Here’s the progress we made across the four key pillars of our sustainability programme.**
## **Foundations**
- For consistent progress in reducing resource use and for high colleague engagement, we were awarded silver accreditation from Investors in the Environment.
- We maintained and improved our environmental management system (EMS) through broader and more accurate data monitoring.
- Through our EMS, we produce a quarterly carbon emissions report that we use to track progress against targets and report back to the executive team and all colleagues.
- We were runners-up in the award for Best Carbon Reduction at the 2025 Investors in the Environment Awards.
- In the Great Place To Work survey, ‘This organisation is committed to sustainability & net zero’ was the statement with the greatest increase of agreement from our colleagues across the organisation, increasing by 4.4%.
**27**
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Everyturn Mental Health**
## **Estates & facilities**
- We reduced the carbon emissions from our gas and electricity consumption by 17% (or 32% when our renewable electricity procurement is considered), in comparison to our baseline year.
- We replaced five gas water heaters with air source heat pumps, powered by renewable energy, at one of our residential services.
- We also installed radiator controls and a building management system across the same site, to optimise the heating system. This gives us better temperature control and helps to reduce carbon emissions from the building.
- One of our NHS Talking Therapies teams in Nottingham moved into an office which is fully powered by on-site renewable energy.
- We developed a Biodiversity Action Plan with our green space partner, which led to the creation of living walls, green roofs, pond restorations, and raised beds. Across our residential services for older people, we installed garden planters to encourage growing food, and planted over 150 trees to give a biodiversity boost.
- We improved recycling facilities at all our sites to increase recycling rates and comply with the new ‘simpler recycling’ laws. We also held engagement sessions with the services to provide waste education. As a result, carbon emissions from waste disposal are down by 10% this year compared to 2023/24.
## **People & community**
- Over 50 more colleagues went through our bespoke Carbon Literacy training course this year. We were awarded Bronze Carbon Literate Organisation status through our commitment to delivering training to our colleagues.
- We introduced new green benefits to help colleagues invest in home energy efficiency improvements, switch to electric vehicles, and make charitable giving more affordable.
- The number of Green Champions across the organisation grew from 10 to 32. This year, our Green Champions led on initiatives including zero waste party planning, food waste reduction, a Veganuary challenge, IT equipment recycling, and introducing sustainability elements to annual objective-setting for all colleagues.
- Carbon emissions from business travel was a key area that involved action from colleagues, so we’re particularly proud that this fell by 18% compared to 2023/24.
## **Supply chain**
- We published our sustainable procurement policy and laid out requirements for all our suppliers.
- We engaged directly with our biggest suppliers, to explore their alignment with our own sustainability ambitions. 68% of them evidenced their own net zero targets and we’re continuing to encourage all our suppliers to set targets and share their progress data.

|**emissions per employee**|||
**There has been a very small increase in energy consumption - and therefore scope 1 & 2 emissions - from 2023/24. This is because of the growth of Everyturn's services, alongside seasonal factors. Our building carbon emissions are 17% lower than our baseline year and our scope 1 and 2 emissions per employee has fallen. Our indirect emissions have increased because we can now calculate our supply chain emissions more accurately and we have better access to data.**
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.
* These numbers have been revised since our 2023/24 report, as we identified unaccounted gas emissions.

## **Social value**
**Our social value project group is responsible for using Social Value Manager, our social value calculator, aligned to best practice standards, to accurately calculate and demonstrate the social value created by our services.**
Throughout 2024/25, we’ve continued working with Envoy Partnership to verify our social value results, ensuring it reflects comprehensive key performance indicator data and the true value our services deliver.
**In total for 2024/25, we’re proud that our teams created £138.3 million in social value, with £5.57 delivered for every £1 spent (a circa 30% increase in return on investment compared to 2023/24). Across our three measured service areas, this is broken down as follows:**
The social value project group includes colleagues from our data and performance teams, helping us to plan the future integration of the calculator with our own data warehouse, and feedback from the people we support to make our social value reporting more efficient across more of our services.
NHS Talking Therapies: £121.8 million
Crisis services: £10.5 million
Community services: £6 million

Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
**We’re continuing work to transition the calculator to become part of our regular way of working by mid-2026. The ongoing project has four key workstreams:**
## **Stream 1: Improving data quality and volume**
- Increase the amount of social value and return on investment we can show in our reports and bids.
- Make our reporting stronger by improving how we measure change and impact.
- Improve the quality of our user experience data so we can make quicker decisions to improve services or reduce risks.
## **Stream 3: Data governance and quality control**
- Reduce the risk of mistakes in our data and make our systems more reliable.
- Make sure everyone, from frontline teams to senior leaders, takes responsibility, and help our partners improve their skills and ways of working.
- Follow all data protection and privacy rules.
## **Stream 2: Access and sharing**
- Build our in-house skills so we can manage and control the calculator ourselves.
- Improve the calculator and simplify day to day tasks.
- Be open with Everyturn’s commissioners and involve them in our progress.
- Spread good practice across the whole organisation and our partners, helping to strengthen our shared culture.
## **Stream 4: Automation and feedback loops**
- Reduce the time managers spend entering data, so work gets done more efficiently.
- Make it easier to compare performance and track progress using real time data, which is especially useful when preparing tenders.
- Make it easier to share results and use them to learn, improve, and meet people’s needs.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Our approach**
**We use a comprehensive risk management framework, overseen by the board of trustees through our board assurance framework (BAF). The framework sets out how risks are identified, assessed, treated, and monitored across Everyturn. Through the BAF, we assure the board that our controls are effective.**
**In June 2025, the board approved an updated risk management policy, including a full review of our strategic risk appetite areas and tolerances. This keeps our approach aligned to our strategy, our regulatory obligations, and the expectations of our commissioners, partners, and stakeholders.**
## **For each strategic risk we record:**
## **The inherent risk score**
(the level of risk before controls)
## **The residual or treated risk score**
(the level of risk after controls are in place)

## **Board effectiveness**
**We conducted a full board effectiveness review and trustee skills audit in early 2025. This work built on the board’s commitment to reflective practice, continuous improvement, and inclusive governance.**
The outputs were discussed at a board away day in April 2025 where trustees agreed to develop two key areas that needed more focused development: equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and improving overall board effectiveness.
The skills audit showed our board has strong expertise across governance fundamentals such as risk management, business continuity and project management, but we also noted gaps to fill with future trustee recruitment. The board has developed formal action plans to focus on enhancing board effectiveness through EDI and board cohesion, and improvements to decision-making and assurance.

## **Public benefit**
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The services we offer are available free of charge to people who need our support. Our work benefits individuals, their families, and the wider community by reducing the impact and cost of ill-health to society.
Everyturn promotes, improves, and advances health in general and mental health in particular, including the prevention and treatment of mental ill-health via a wide range of commissioned services. It provides treatments and interventions, social housing and support, without distinction as to a person’s age, race, gender, sexual orientation, political, religious, or other persuasion.
The charity actively promotes service improvement and development in the field of mental health and emotional wellbeing. The charity’s business mission statement upholds that as a responsive and enabling organisation, we will endeavour to provide distinctive and effective services.
## **Method of appointment/election of trustees**
The trustees are responsible for managing Everyturn and its subsidiary. Our trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of Everyturn’s Articles of Association.
Each trustee is appointed for a three-year term and can be reappointed for up to two more terms. No trustee can serve in office for more than nine consecutive years. After this, they can be reappointed once they’ve been out of office for at least two years.
However, in exceptional circumstances and if it’s in Everyturn’s interest, a trustee’s term of office could be extended beyond the nine years, if their appointment is re-confirmed annually and Everyturn has given its consent to the reappointment.
## **Policies adopted for induction/ training of trustees**
We have a full induction and training programme for trustees, to make sure they all have appropriate training in, including safeguarding, data security, health and safety, equity, diversity, and inclusion, and suicide awareness which is delivered by NCVO (National Council for Voluntary Organisations).
When a trustee joins the board, they’re allocated an induction buddy.
## **Reporting quality and governance to the board**
We’ve significantly improved our incident management platform, Ulysses, by launching new features and improving accessibility. Since we introduced a subject access request module, we’ve now implemented an action tracking module, which makes it easier to monitor and manage governance actions in detail, with quarterly reporting to the quality and governance committee.
We’ve updated our Freedom to Speak Up (FTSU) processes so they give clear, direct insights into new issues and patterns, which are shared with the people, wellbeing and remuneration subcommittee and board trustees. We also ran targeted communications to help colleagues understand how to use our FTSU process and where to go for support.
We set up four management groups to make sure we stay on track with our priorities, monitor quality, and deal with governance risks early. Encouraging people to speak up is a key part of how we protect people we support and keep improving what we do.

## **Our ‘Learning Organisation’ project workstreams**
**Last year, we committed to becoming a stronger learning organisation through three key projects: Quality Improvement, Project Voice, and Project Unity. Each was designed to strengthen how we learn, involve people, and tackle inequalities. This year, those ambitions have translated into meaningful action and early impact.**
## **Quality Improvement**
To create a better learning environment and improve outcomes, we evaluated several improvement frameworks and chose QSIR (quality, service improvement and redesign), the NHS-developed model best aligned to our services.
Working closely with our advisory group, we addressed early challenges and co-designed our approach. We now have a full rollout and cost plan in place, and planning for colleague training is underway, in partnership with North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust. This project is laying strong foundations for organisation-wide improvement.
## **Project Unity**
This project is focused on implementing the Patient and Carers Race & Equalities Framework (PCREF). Reflecting our commitment to tackling racial inequalities, we promoted and embedded anti racism and cultural competency across our services. As a result, our colleague diversity data completion rose from 25% to 44%, which increases our ability to identify and address inequities.
Colleagues took part in cultural awareness and anti racism training, and we introduced practical tools such as interpreter tags, phonetic spelling, and quiet rooms. Our new data visualisation dashboards in Tableau, along with our community champions and our advisory board, are now helping us keep equity, experience, and outcomes firmly in focus.
## **Project Voice**
Delivering on our promise to embed people’s lived experience to everything we do, we introduced the Engagement and Involvement Framework, alongside new KPIs and improved feedback systems in Ulysses.
Talking to our people helped us understand what’s working well and what isn’t. It also showed us we need a wider mix of voices and more inclusive ways of involving people.
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Improvements to quality and safety**
## **Last year we restructured and refocused what was our quality and governance team, to create the quality and safety team.**
**This new structure improved our strategic leadership, gave clearer governance pathways, improved escalation of risks, and has driven a more proactive and learning-focused safety culture across Everyturn’s services.**
## **Transforming quality & safety systems**
We delivered major improvements to our organisational frameworks, including implementing our first quality and safety framework and strengthening our risk governance.
Our improved audit processes; more robust quality service reviews; and improved triangulation of incidents, complaints, outcomes, and feedback have increased our ability to assure safe and effective care.
## **Investing in health and safety excellence**
This year also saw the positive impact of our first Health and Safety Manager, who delivered a comprehensive health and safety improvement plan, strengthened fire and workplace safety governance, refreshed our health and safety policy, and improved compliance monitoring. This has all created safer environments for colleagues and the people we support.
## **New approaches to improving safety culture**
The rollout of the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) has modernised how we learn from incidents, shifting the organisation toward compassionate, system-focused investigations.
Upgrades to our Ulysses incident reporting system have included better categorisation and the ability to track racial discrimination incidents, which are supporting more meaningful learning and greater transparency.
## **Building future resilience through risk and assurance**
To sustain this progress, we introduced a new Risk & Assurance Manager role (starting in November 2025), to support our approach to risk management, internal quality assurance, and business continuity. This investment ensures stronger assurance, clearer ownership of organisational risks, and a more resilient operating environment.

## **NHS Talking Therapies service developments**
In February 2025, we were proud to be accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists Accreditation Programme for Psychological Therapies Services. It’s been a great opportunity for us to show our dedication to maintaining high standards and improving our practices.
This year, we strengthened the leadership and governance of our talking therapies services by introducing a new senior leadership structure. This included the roles of National Services Lead and National Service Manager, which we designed to improve oversight, consistency, and strategic support across our services nationally.
In July 2025, we delivered a major milestone of our digital transformation programme, with the launch of our new clinical patient management system, PCMIS. This was a significant upgrade to our technological infrastructure, which has improved system resilience, data quality, and the overall experience for clinicians and the people they support.
Service growth and continuity were also key achievements of this year. In April 2025, we were delighted to be directly awarded a new five-year contract on the Wirral, allowing our service to continue its journey of delivering high-quality care and excellent outcomes for the local community.
Building on our strong partnership working, we launched the Derby and Derbyshire NHS Talking Therapies service in July 2025, in collaboration with Vita Health Group. Our established success working with Vita in Nottinghamshire allowed us to transfer learning, best practice, and operational expertise, which created a smooth mobilisation and a strong start for the new service in Derbyshire.
## **Community and crisis service developments**
In summer 2025, we restructured our operational leadership to separate the community and crisis service areas. Our crisis services are now in the same operational directorate as our NHS Talking Therapies, while our community services now share a directorate with our specialist nursing and children and young people’s services. There’s a portfolio service manager responsible for each area, who reports to the relevant operational director.
## **Community services**
We launched three new services in 2024/25. These included a waiting list service and a wellbeing support service in Newcastle, both commissioned for 12 months. Alongside these, we launched a pilot service in South Tyneside working with a primary care network to support people on their practice register who are prescribed anti-psychotic medication.
We took the difficult decision to not continue to provide the Chain Reaction service for over 55s In Newcastle, as it was no longer financially sustainable for us.
We continue to deliver non-clinical community mental health services across Newcastle, Sunderland, and South Tyneside; and our Recovery Colleges in Northumberland and South Tyneside.
In 2025/26, we’ll develop proposition packs for Everyturn’s core community services, to help us articulate our impact and expand these successful services into different geographical areas.

Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Crisis services**
We launched two new safe havens in 2025, following our successful Northumberland Safe Haven. The new safe havens are in Newcastle city centre, sharing a building with the Road to Recovery Trust, and on Wallsend high street in North Tyneside. All three of our Safe Havens are open 365 days a year from 2pm – 10pm, offering people drop-in support for emotional and practical issues without needing clinical intervention or an appointment.
We were delighted to be appointed as a key partner in the launch of Hope Haven in Whitehaven, Cumbria. Hope Haven is one of the six new nationally piloted neighboured mental health centres, serving as a community mental health and wellbeing hub for people aged 18+ in the Whitehaven and Copeland area. People can access the service without a waiting period or referral, and can receive support over the phone, in-person, or virtually.
## **Specialist residential service developments**
This year, we’ve worked hard to embed the staffing structure that we implemented in 2023/24. The service managers, clinical leads, and operational leads are now settled into their roles and working effectively and supportively with each other, and our care homes have been consistently over 90% full across the year.
## **Children and young people’s service developments**
In January 2025, Everyturn merged with Streetwise Young People’s Project, an award-winning charity that has delivered mental health and wellbeing support to young people in the North East since 1991. Streetwise won a GSK Impact Award from The King’s Fund in 2021, in recognition of their impactful youth work tackling health inequality and disadvantage.
The merger builds on Everyturn’s diversification activities delivered since the launch of our Shaping Our Future strategy. It means we can now proudly say Everyturn is an all-age mental health support provider.
Since the merger, we’ve focused on integrating Streetwise into Everyturn as our new children and young people’s services. This has included the TUPE transfer of all Streetwise colleagues; and engagement with our commissioners, suppliers, and partners. As part of the merger, we decided to exit some service contracts which didn’t align with Everyturn’s charitable objectives or cover their costs.
In partnership with Children North East, we’ve been awarded a contract to deliver the North East’s first children and young people’s Safe Haven in Newcastle and Gateshead. The service will launch in 2026, building on our successful adult Safe Havens. It’ll offer inperson, online, and telephone support to young people as an alternative to NHS crisis teams and emergency departments.
We decided to close our remaining supported housing service this year. Instead, we’re now using Everyturn’s owned housing properties to deliver our community rehabilitation transition service, which offers nurse-led support to help people move from 24/7 care homes to our independent accommodation.
Another major milestone this year was being awarded our first contract in London, commissioned by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM), to design and deliver a new 24/7 community rehabilitation service. The service builds on our successful model in the North East and will launch in summer 2026, to enable people with complex needs to move out of hospital and live independent lives in the community. Through this new service, people will transfer to our service from SLaM’s mental health inpatient services, including locked rehabilitation and forensic wards.
We continue to work closely with North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB), our mental health NHS Trust partners, and local authorities to find opportunities to expand our bedbased and community specialist nursing services. We’re also participating in strategic activity such as the regional Inpatient Quality Transformation Programme, which is being led by NENC ICB.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **Going concern**
**The trustees are confident that the charity has the resources it needs to operate for the foreseeable future and have therefore prepared the accounts on a going-concern basis.**
## **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.**
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 Derbyshire partnership.
All our services are subject to the risk of increases in the purchase price of supplies, which are out of our control, and pay increases to our colleagues, which are within our control. As a result of our ongoing review of central costs, we have achieved recurring efficiency savings and applied these to our 2025/26 budgets. Where practical, prices are agreed in advance through supplier quotations and tendering, focusing on key areas in the year to benefit from economies of scale. Our budgeting and forecasting processes are designed to alert management and trustees to potential problems.
## **Free reserves policy**
**The trustees assess our risk-based reserves policy each year, considering the needs of the organisation to deliver its business plan, along with risks raised by the strategic risk register, and investment policy.**
This year we kept our reserves policy consistent with previous years, which is six months winding down costs (currently £2.4m). The trustees considered the risks facing the group and agreed this was sufficient. Free reserves were £3.2m at the end of period and, although this amount slightly exceeds the advised policy, trustees are satisfied that the are sufficient plans in place to reinvest funds in our charitable purpose in future periods.
The trustees continue to support the investment needed to deliver our strategic priorities and have agreed several areas where we’ll 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.
We don’t charge the people we support for the services we provide, so we have no exposure to credit risk linked 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 has 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 requirements.

**Everyturn Mental Health**
## **Fundraising**
Everyturn has been registered with the Fundraising Regulator since 2017, but we haven't actively pursued fundraising opportunities until this year.
During our 2024/25 financial year we began actively promoting individual giving and launched Beacon, a new donation platform on Everyturn’s website. We focused on generating donations for our crisis fund, which aims to help people we support with essential items (e.g. food and fuel vouchers) to reduce the impact of social factors like the cost of living crisis.
Our plans for 2025/26 include expanding our fundraising activity by promoting legacy giving and working with grant-making organisations as part of our income diversification strategy. We also planned our first fundraising event, a Christmas concert which took place in December 2025.
## **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 2024/25 financial year, we administered funds on behalf of partner agencies and committees to host and develop projects whose objectives are mental health-related. These functions form 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 that 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**
All Everyturn employees, including senior colleagues, are paid in an approved pay structure. We evaluate any role when it’s created, or when changes in responsibilities are needed.
Colleagues are appointed to a salary band, which includes a range of salaries to reflect the experience and skills highlighted in the job evaluation, and colleagues have regular performance reviews with their line managers.
Any proposed organisational pay awards are presented to the trustees , chair, and Chief Executive via the people, wellbeing and remuneration committee for approval each year. The committee meets annually to consider these pay awards, along with senior management salaries above £90k.
The Charity Commission expects charities to undertake benchmarking exercises to set appropriate salaries for senior positions. In line with this, we commissioned an independent review in 2025, to make sure that executive pay was appropriate for the level of responsibility held by the team. The review findings were presented to our board of trustee’s remuneration committee in June 2025.
## **Members’ liability**
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.
## **Auditors**
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing the appointment of external auditors for the year ending 30 September 2026 has been put to the members.

A director of a company must act in the way he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:
- **a)** The likely consequences of any decision in the long term.
- **b)** The interests of the company’s employees.
- **c)** The need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others.
- **d)** The impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment.
- **e)** The desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct.
- **f)** The need to act fairly as between members of the company.
The trustees consider these duties have been discharged, as detailed throughout this report.
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the situation of the charitable company and its subsidiaries, and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).
- 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 presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company, ensuring that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and its subsidiaries, hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The directors are also responsible for ensuring the assets of the charitable company are properly applied in accordance with charity law.

**Our impact 2024/2025**
## **As far as the trustees are aware:**
- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware.
- The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees adopted the Charity Governance Code for larger charities at the board meeting held on 23 August 2021.
This report was approved by the trustees on 9 April 2026 and signed on their behalf by:

## **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 2025 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of the group's 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 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.

## **Independent auditor's report to the members of Everyturn (continued)**
## **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:
- the information given in the trustees' report including the Strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
- the trustees' report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and 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:
- the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **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.
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.
## **Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
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. However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the group, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the company is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we 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. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
Based on our understanding of the group, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related companies legislation), distributable profits legislation, pension legislation and UK tax legislation. In addition, the group 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 and litigation. We considered the extent to which noncompliance with laws and regulations might have a material effect on the financial statements and we have assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
We also evaluated managements’ incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial results, management bias in accounting estimates, as well as improper revenue recognition which includes fraudulent posting of journal entries to revenue.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- Inquiry of management and those charged with governance regarding actual and potential litigation or claims as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- Reviewing meeting minutes to identify reported frauds and any potential non-compliance with laws and regulations;
- Identifying journal entries based on risk criteria and testing the identified entries to supporting documentation, in particular journal entries with unusual account combinations; and
Page 64
Docusign Envelope ID: 1C3DCC7D-170F-4586-AAC3-832990C6BECB
## **Independent auditor's report to the members of Everyturn (continued)**
- Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in their significant accounting estimates and evaluating whether there was any evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
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.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 September 2025**
## **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. The net movement in funds in the charity during the year was a surplus of £844k (2024: £141k).
## **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.

**Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Everyturn**
## **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.

**Notes to the financial statements Year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Everyturn**
## **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:
- Software development costs 3 years straight-line
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|
|---|---|---|
|Long-term 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.

## **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.

## **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:
- Talking Therapies National Team – the design and implementation of a new national team of therapists to support existing Talking Therapies and deliver new business to support other Talking Therapy providers and adhoc therapy contracts;
- Community Rehabilitation Project – The design and implementation of two new service models to augment community rehabilitation.

- Rostering – introduction of electronic rostering solution into services that delivery shift work;
- Patient Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) – the implementation of the national PCREF framework that aims to embed anti-racism across the organisation and improve equity of outcomes and experiences for both service users, carers and colleagues.
## **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.

## **25. 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 £944,209 (2024: £903,626).
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 £308,319 (2024: £258,674).
Contributions totalling £228,192 (2024: £175,813) were payable to the funds at the balance sheet date and are included within other creditors.
