CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Chair's introduction
This year, we have continued our commitment to ensuring that no one faces mental health challenges alone. This past year has reminded me—again and again—why I’m so proud to be part of Herefordshire Mind.
As Chair of the Board of Trustees, I’ve had the privilege of seeing up close the dedication, compassion, and sheer hard work that goes into supporting people across our community. Whether it’s a quiet conversation, a group session, or a new initiative taking shape, every action is rooted in care and a belief that mental health support should be there for everyone, without barriers.
To this end our focus has been on strengthening our financial health, expanding the skill set of our Board and wider organisation, and developing a cohesive five-year service development strategy. We have also worked hard to build resilience within our teams and structured our governance procedures.
Having established our three and five year plans at a collaborative Awayday, attended by the Board of Trustees, Senior Management Team and Service Managers, we have a clear vision of our direction of development and this report outlines the first year in our development strategy.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's constitution, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".
Objectives and activities
The Charity's objects are to focus on assisting in relieving and rehabilitating persons suffering from mental disorders or conditions of emotional or mental distress. There is unrestricted access to our services for all affected by such conditions and in consequence the activities delivered are for public benefit.
Our vision is of a world where everyone gets the respect and support they need to achieve good mental wellbeing.
To realise this, our Mission is to provide quality support, whilst raising awareness and promoting understanding about mental health issues.
We are (our Values)...
Independent: we will use our independence to speak out on behalf of people with mental health problems.
Responsive: we listen to what people tell us and act on this.
Open: we are transparent and accountable in all that we do.
Collaborative: working with others, we achieve more.
Creative: we nurture creativity and innovation.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
We continue to provide Community Hub Activities, which is the original core service, operating from our hub in Heffernan House, with "outreach" across the county delivering activities and support-based work.
With the changes in public sector funding, Herefordshire Mind has been under continuing pressure to seek additional sources of funding and we are grateful for the considerable support from the public and charitable funders.
We remain dependent on funding, donations, corporate sponsorship and legacies for much of what we deliver and we would like to thank all those organisations, national and local, charitable foundations and individuals who have helped to sustain our work.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and performance
In 2024 – 2025 Herefordshire Mind continued to grow and strengthen its work to ensure no one faces a mental health problem alone.
Fundraising
Herefordshire Mind has been supported in 2024 - 2025 by funds raised through members of the community (£28,145) and through grants applications (£27,500). The total amount raised in 2024/25 is £55,645. We raised a further £5,940 of income from training.
See page 22 for funding breakdown.
In 2024/25 Herefordshire Mind did not employ a specific fundraiser, however one member of the senior team undertook grant and community fundraising as part of their wider remit. The board of trustees have taken a decision to employ two part-time fundraisers, one will concentrate on grant fundraising and the other will support individuals, community groups and corporate partners to fundraise on our behalf. Herefordshire Mind does not employ the services of external professional fundraisers.
Herefordshire Mind is not currently a member of the funding regulator but will work towards ensuring that we meet all the standards in order register during the next financial year. Herefordshire Mind has not received any complaints in relation to fundraising.
Service Delivery and Development
Over the past year, Herefordshire Mind has supported approximately 300 individuals each week, offering a diverse range of mental health services and community-based support.
Counselling Services
Affordable Counselling Service. Delivered counselling to 277 clients, while also providing training and placement opportunities for 26 volunteer counsellors.

In addition we provide tailored support through, workshops for neurodiverse people, a peer-led group supporting the trans community, an anxiety management group as well as carer-specific support sessions.
Safe Haven
Safe Haven. Open 365 days a year, our Safe Haven responded to 2,333 calls, offering immediate support and crisis intervention.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Financial review
In common with the rest of the 3rd sector and with all suppliers of health and social care services, our environment remains very difficult, comprising a steady increase in the demand for services coupled with continued pressures on funding.
During the charity total income amounted to £945,292, which was an increase of £116,675 on the prior year, this was mainly due to an increase in supportive housing income received.
Total expenditure amounted to £1,008,219, which led to an overall decrease in funds of £62,927 for the year (2024 £137,405 decrease in funds).
Total reserves as at 31 March 2025 amounted to £1,042,574 (2024: £1,105,501), which comprised, restricted funds of £532,161, designated funds set aside for future funding purposes of £171,273 and unrestricted funds of £339,140.
The Board of Trustees established an objective, for free reserves (unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets) to equal one month of resources expended; this equates to approximately £84,000 at 2024/25 expenditure levels. At this level the Board of Trustees feel the organisation would be able to meet most contingencies without affecting day-to-day activities.
Free reserves as at the year end amounted to a surplus of £240,398 (2024: £244,991).
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Maintaining financial stability remains a key priority. Like many charities, we have faced challenges and with Minimum wage increases and with the Employers National Insurance contribution increases from April 2025 these challenges continue. These changes have had a direct impact on our operating costs and required us to take proactive steps to safeguard our services. We have managed this by reconfiguring the delivery of some of our services and from April 2025 we are investing in our community and fundraising capacity to further diversify our income.
The Finance Subgroup of Trustees, established last year, has enabled deeper scrutiny of our accounts, with findings regularly presented to the full Board for review.
We are also grateful for the support of the Cranfield Trust, whose expert consultancy has helped us explore our financial planning and succession planning within our finance team.
Quality and Recognition
Mind Quality Mark (MQM)
In the middle of the year, we participated in the Mind Federation’s three-yearly Mind Quality Mark (MQM) assessment. MQM is the quality framework for local Minds, designed to ensure organisations are sustainable, effective, and influential in serving their communities. It sets out the baseline for best practice and legal compliance across all areas of governance and operations.
The MQM assessment covers four key domains;
-
Leadership and Governance
-
Finance and Policies
-
Services and People
-
Influence and Engagement.
The process was rigorous and comprehensive. It involved multiple online meetings, a two-day onsite visit by the - inspection team, and interviews with representatives from across our organisation including staff, volunteers, trustees, and service users.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The process prompted valuable reflection and led to the development of new procedures. We were proud to be awarded the Mind Quality Mark , affirming our commitment to excellence and accountability.
We have also been nominated for Excellence Awards in three categories: Leadership, Effective Services, and Workforce and Culture.
Our Services were described by the MQM review team as being holistic and providing life changing support to people. Our staff team was described as a caring, skilled and motivated workforce where lived experience is seen as an asset.
These recognitions stand as a testament to the visionary leadership of our CEO, Alicia Lawrence, the dedication of our staff, and the values that guide our organisation each day. We are honoured by this acknowledgment and remain committed to driving continuous improvement in support of the communities we work with.
Future plans
As we move into the next year of our development strategy, we do so with clarity, ambition, and a deep commitment to the people of Herefordshire.
- Our focus will remain on expanding the reach and impact of our services particularly in rural areas of Herefordshire. We will continue to build on the foundations laid this year, using the insights from our Mind Quality Mark assessment and the feedback from those who use our services to guide our next steps.
We are also committed to deepening our understanding of the difference we make. By embedding more - qualitative research into our work, we aim to capture the real stories behind the statistics stories that help us learn, improve, and advocate more effectively.
Financial sustainability will remain a priority, and we will continue to explore new funding opportunities and partnerships. The evolving landscape of mental health support presents both challenges and opportunities, and we are determined to respond with creativity, compassion, and resilience.
- Above all, we will keep listening to our staff, our volunteers, our partners, and most importantly, to the people who rely on us. Their voices will continue to shape our journey.
Acknowledgements
To our staff, volunteers, partners, and supporters: thank you. You are the heart of this organisation. And to those we support - thank you for trusting us. Your courage and honesty shape everything we do.
We would like to thank everyone who has donated and supported our work this year whether you brought a calendar, ran a race or made an online donation. With particular mention to The Eveson Foundation, The Bulmer foundation, The Boarder Belles, Herefordshire Board gamers and Sallys place for their donations. Your support enables us to reach more people, innovate in our services, and continue to work towards ensuring that no in Herefordshire faces a Mental Health problem alone.

Trustee Board Development
This year, we have taken significant steps to strengthen and diversify our Trustee Board. Our aim has been to ensure a balanced representation of skills, backgrounds, and perspectives that reflect the communities we are part of and support the strategic direction of the organisation.
We successfully recruited new Trustees with expertise in fundraising and community engagement, enhancing the Board’s capacity to provide informed oversight and guidance.
In response to feedback from our staff survey, which highlighted a desire for greater visibility and engagement from Trustees, we have made this a priority. The Chair of the Board has held informal meetings with all Service Managers, fostering stronger relationships and improving communication between governance and operations.
We continue to encourage active participation from Trustees in activities, including attendance at service events, involvement in strategic planning sessions, and engagement with staff and service users.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees, who are also the directors of Herefordshire Mind for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
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 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; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity
will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEREFORDSHIRE MIND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Herefordshire Mind (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEREFORDSHIRE MIND
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the Charity for the purpose 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 Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
-
an understanding of the risk assessment process (including the assessment of the risk of fraud) adopted by the Board is obtained and their attitude to risk ascertained.
-
an assessment of the susceptibility to material mis-statement of the financial statements as a result of management over-ride or fraud is made.
-
it is ensured that the engagement team have, collectively, the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to be involved in the assignment, are fully briefed and understand the risks specific to the charity.
Audit response to risks identified
The information obtained through the assessment to risk procedures is reviewed and the following work undertaken:
-
processes to test the outcomes of our assessment include, a review of Board minutes, analytical review, the relevance and accuracy of significant accounting estimates, substantive testing of significant transactions, work to identify unusual or unexpected accounting entries including the testing of journal entries, information disclosed in the financial statements is traced to supporting documentation. In all instances it is acknowledged that material misstatements that arise from fraud may involve deliberate concealment or collusion and are, therefore, by their very nature harder to detect than those arising from error.
-
an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework as applicable to the charity is obtained together with knowledge of the procedures put in place by the charity in order to comply with the same.
It should be noted that Auditing standards limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Herefordshire Mind is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales (number 02339094) and a charity registered in England and Wales (number 701260).The registered office is Heffernan House, 130-132 Widemarsh Street, Hereford, HR4 9HN.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties about its ability to continue. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Resources expended
All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Liabilities are recognised when they are incurred.
Costs of generating funds comprise those costs directly attributable to raising funds through activities.
Direct charitable expenditure includes all overhead costs in supporting the direct charitable activities.
Governance costs comprise those costs not already deemed as overhead costs and not associated with achieving the direct charitable activities.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings 2% or 20% on cost, land is not depreciated Fixtures and fittings 20% on cost Computers 33.33% on cost
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 recognised in the statement of financial activities.
The capitalisation policy for additions is £1,000.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
1.9 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Such estimates include the establishment of an appropriate depreciation policy in respect of tangible fixed assets to ensure book value is compatible with market value. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
