AWARE DEFEAT DEPRESSION CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 As we reflect Dll the past year, il becomes evident why AWARE has been busier than 8ver. Mental health Issues have conslantiy been in the headlines, whether it's a well-known personality speaking out about their struggles pr the alamiing lack of resources lo meet the ever-growing demand for support servlces. In Aprfl 2022, the M8nlal Health Foundation published a report Indlcatlng that 70Vo of our adult population had experienced 8 mental health problem in the last 12 months. Additionally. a joint r8POrt with the London School of Economic5 and Political Science revealed that diagnosable mental health problems cost the Northem Irish economy £3.4 billion annually, whlle the Northern Ireland Mental Health Strategy 2021-2031 called for a £1.2 billlon Investment over 10 years. Unfortunately, the lack of an Execullve and the funding deficlt in Northem Ir8land'8 publlc seiCe8 put the slr8tegy at r5sk, not lust currently, but for the next decade as well. More than ever, the support ané servlces provided by our volunteers and staff continue to make a posStlve difference to our communities recovering from the Covid pandemic and now struggling with the ¢ost of living hikes. As detailed in thls report, all our departments were exceptionally busy. The Education and Tr8lning team 0¢hO ovar 17,000 p8rticipanls during the y8ar, and11 was encouraglng to See the relntroduction of face-to-face service delivery. The growth of our programmes for schools and young people has been Tem8d(able, with over 10,000 young individuals particlpaling In the 'Mood M8tters Young People, programme alone. No18bly, the 'Back lo Life, B8ck to Normality, project has been Sn5trumenlal in handling the heavy caseloads of GP rnental health cases. Despite the challenges faced during Covid, our Support Groups managed to stay active, Ihankg lo th8 dedlcolion of the Support ServiGes team and our volunteer group facillt8tors. Encouraging young adults to engage wllh our Support Groups has been a challenge, bul we plan lo bulld on the 8uccess of th8 Newtownards Yokjng Adull118- 30yr81 group, redeslgnlng the model based on v81uable feedbÉck from focus groups. Recognising the importance of our poer-led support group8, we have Initiated 8 research project in partnershlp wllh the Unlversity of Ulster to study their benefits. You'll find us everywherel AWARE'S reach has expanded sSgnificantly. thanks lo our Communlcalions team. We are the most widely followed mental health charity in Northem Ir6land, wllh a presence on platforms like our webslle, Facebook, Twitt8r, YouTub8, Inst8gr8m, 8illboards, and now even TikTok. On8 of the hlghlights of the year was the Investors In Mental Health Awards, where we celebraled the ¢ontrlbutions of schools, bu$lness8s, and fundraiBer8 lo promoting good ment81 health with 200 guests. The award-winning Fundraislng team has been successful in attractlng generous corporate sponsors and creating exdtlng events like Giant Steps along the Causeway Coast. However, the oommunity'5 Gapacily for giving has been 8ffecled by the cost of living crisis, resulting in lower-than-predicled funds raised. Going forw8rd, AWARE'S spending plans will need to consider the challenges faced by fundraisers Sn the Gurrenl financial environment. All of the accomplishments mentioned above come at a cost. In 2022123. our total income was £1.28 milllon, while our total expenditure was £1.69 million, resulting in a deficit of approxlmately £400,000. Although the charity's reserves covered this overspend, it's clear that such levels of deficit cannot be sustained in the future. The incomlng year will bring significant financlal challenges for staff, senlor management, and the 808rd. This year, we bld farewell to som& long-standing contributors to AWARE. Tom McEnean8y retlmd after 26 years of loyal servi. Thrtsugh hig legendary neOrkIng skills and knowledge of the third sector, he made a lasting contribution to the development of the charity. Brendan Armstrong, a trustee for many years, significantly shaped our programmes with his experience 8s a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist and teacher. Jarlalh Mccreanor. who openly shared his own mental health journey, provided invaluable conlribul'ons during the Covid pandemic and remains an esteemed member ofthe AWARE team.
AWARE DEFEAT DEPRESSION CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 On a positive note, we welcomed three new trustees, Nlcola Foy, Marianne Downey, and Aan Robinson, whose diverse sklll sets wlll enhance the effectiveness of the Board.

Without your dedication, there would be no AWARE, so please contlnue to make a difference. Mr Bemard McAnaney Chalrman Dale: 2810912023

However, lh8 ongoing cost of Ilvlng crisis has significantly affected organisalional fundraising in 2022123, resulting in lower-than4xpecled income. This decrease in fundraising incorne poses challenges for the charity's service delivery in 2023124.
