## Message from Our Chair 

Aidan Browne _Chair_ 

Having been a Trustee of Inspire for several years now, I have seen the organisation go from strength to strength, continuing to drive forward, even in the most difficult of times. In December 2022, I was delighted to move into the role of Chair of the Board of Trustees and am looking forward, alongside my Board colleagues, to ensuring Inspire continues to provide the very highest level of care and support to those who use our services. 

A key objective of any Board is to ensure the good governance of the organisation from the delivery of care to service users right through to the functioning of the Board itself. Despite the immense challenges to all organisations in the Third Sector, particularly post pandemic, Inspire aims to achieve the highest standards of governance and can demonstrate success in this regard. As our services are regulated, we are obliged to meet the standards set for us and have done so consistently. Particular efforts are made through training and continuous improvement of internal quality audits and controls to maintain our robust approach. At Board level we have commissioned an independent audit of our functioning and secured a clean bill of health. We do not however rest on our laurels in any area and continue to prioritise governance excellence. 

Post pandemic it is clear to see that there are challenges ahead of us, particularly in relation to budget pressures in both jurisdictions, but there is also a clear and growing need for Inspire services. We are conscious that we will need to continue to innovate to be able to do more. 2022/23 saw a rise in the number of people we supported through our social enterprise, and I am delighted that we will continue this growth, leading the way in the provision of Therapeutic and Wellbeing Services right across the island of Ireland. 

With the easing of Covid-19 restrictions I have had the opportunity as have my Board colleagues, to again visit some of our services. These visits help to inspire us as Trustees and ensure we always have those who use our services front and centre when we are making decisions 

around the charity’s future. To maintain our focus on the ‘Why we are here’, always helps to ensure our decisions are person-centered and in line with the values of Inspire. On these visits I have been so impressed by the ability, care and compassion shown by our staff and volunteers. I would like to thank them for their continued commitment. 

The relationship between the Board and the Executive is key in any organisation and we are very fortunate in Inspire that this relationship consistently fosters collaboration and engagement. Under the stewardship of our CEO, Kerry Anthony, the organisation continues to refresh and renew and work as a very committed team. 

It is important to acknowledge our funders who continue to have faith in us in the knowledge that we will do what we say we will do! 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board Members, many of whom have served for a number of years. Our Nominations and Governance Oversight Committee are always seeking to ensure we have the right skills mix on our Board. During the year ended 31 March 2023 we welcomed four new Trustees to the Board Peter Brown, Ben Banerji, Emma Pollock and Seamus Cowan. Following the yearend, in June 2023, we welcomed Marcus Reugg. The new Trustees bring an array of experience and skills to the Board. I would like to thank Maeve Hully for her service to Inspire as she retired from the Board this year. I would also like to thank our outgoing Chair, William Fitpatrick who has contributed so selflessly to the Board for several years. 

I look to the future with confidence that Inspire will continue to be Inclusive, Passionate, Determined, Kind, Honest and Innovative and be a committed advocate for all who need our services. 

Aidan Browne _Chair_

## Message from Our CEO 

## Kerry Anthony _CEO_ 

## **CEO’s Introduction** 

As we began to ease out of the very severe pressures and restrictions which Covid-19 had brought to our work and lives, we were able to begin to take stock and to assess the after effects of the pandemic. Covid-19 left us with challenges, including the impact on a tired workforce, recruitment challenges, pressures on already overstretched health services and transformed ways of working with a preference for hybrid working moving forward. Change, of course, brings opportunity and within Inspire we have seized this over the last 12 months. 

We began the year with an Away Day for our Board to commence, what would be a year-long, consultative and collaborative strategic planning process. This allowed us to develop and launch a plan at the end of the year which would provide a clear pathway to navigate through this new and changed world, and enable us to be agile, flexible, modern and responsive to the needs of those we exist to serve. 

Across the previous two years we focused on the restructure and transformation of our charity and in 2022/23 we undertook an in-depth review of our social enterprise, a critical part of our organisation, enabling us to generate profit to invest back into the charity. As we move into our new strategic planning cycle, we will reinvigorate our Knowledge and Leadership programs. This will include a focus on the evolving area of neurodiversity and how this relates to our key areas of business, including workplaces, students and veterans. We also aim to develop our services to offer them directly to the wider public. 

We continued to focus on organisational culture in line with our Vision, Mission and Values. At a Senior Level we took time to examine the concept of Servant Leadership and committed to embedding this further over the lifetime of our new strategy. We retained our Investors in People Gold Award, improving across all indicators. This reinforced what we already knew, that our staff teams are dedicated, committed, resilient in the face of adversity and keep hope and optimism alive within Inspire. 

Our Volunteers have also played a key role, giving freely of their time and talent. When I visit services across the island, I hear how much this is appreciated and valued by those who use our services. Retaining Investors in Volunteers demonstrates our commitment to them and we look forward to welcoming more volunteers in the future. 

2022/23 was a year when we have increased further our engagement at every level through the implementation of our Community Engagement Strategy, engaging with both our internal and external communities through events, visits, consultations and research. With restrictions eased, we were particularly pleased to be able to bring our Inspire community together for consultation and planning through our Ideas Generator Series and for celebration through large scale events for people who use our services. We were glad to welcome political representatives back to Inspire services through our Summer of Engagement and we attended and presented at key external conferences. 

As I reflect on the last year, I cannot avoid the fact that, once again, our Northern Ireland services are operating in an extremely challenging governmental environment. The lack of Government impacts greatly on our work and on the lives of the people we support. Important strategies are stalled, commissioning frameworks delayed, waiting lists increased and budgets across the board are tightened and reducing. The needs of the people who use our services are becoming more complex. We are proud to be able to grow new services that genuinely change people’s lives for the better, like at Enterprise Court and St Andrews. We also know that, with the right political and policy leadership, we could do so much more to support people to live independent, happy lives in their community.

## Message from Our CEO Continued 

Through these difficult times the staff at Inspire continue to offer outstanding care and support and work tirelessly to ensure we are a well-run and robust sector-leading organisation. As we all navigate these changing times, where the lasting impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is still very evident, Inspire staffs’ dedication to the people who use our services remains inspirational. 

Finally, I would like to thank our immediate past Chairperson, Mr William Fitzpatrick, for his support and guidance this year and our new Chairperson Mr Aidan Browne for his ongoing commitment to Inspire. I also want to thank the Board of Trustees for the ongoing investment of their time and skills to Inspire and for working so hard to ensure we are a well-governed organisation.

## **Supporting our staff** 


Safety of our staff is always our primary consideration. Our people experience is to strengthen the bonds between our employees and our volunteers. It’s part of our core strategy, and also considers how it feels to work and volunteer at Inspire, why people join and why they stay. It’s about creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone’s health and wellbeing comes first. It has framed our thinking and response through the pandemic. We have maintained a strong focus on communication and engagement with colleagues and how we need to respond and look after one another. Whilst supporting staff wellbeing we have also had to focus on business continuity, overseeing furlough arrangements, Covid-19 related safeguarding issues, re-engaging 

with volunteers, revising health and safety guidance and crisis management communications. Our Covid-19 response has accelerated the delivery of some ambitions. We have seen considerable shifts in utilising technology to collaborate, an uptake of online learning and development opportunities, improving our business continuity processes and our understanding of the wellbeing needs of our people. The engagement, resilience and adaptability that our people have demonstrated over the last year has demonstrated the immense strength of our existing culture and People Experience. It has also shown that our People Experience plans have the flexibility to respond to change, whilst also keeping us true to our ultimate ambitions and the organisation which we wish Inspire to be. 

## **Our Employees with Disability:** 

In keeping with our own ethos, and in full compliance with Equality Legislation, Inspire gives equal consideration to applications for employment from persons with a disability. Subsequent employment is contingent upon the capacity of the applicant to adequately fulfil the requirements of the post. 

Where an employee acquires a disability, Inspire is committed to providing continued employment under the normal terms and conditions, where this is practicable. In addition, Inspire makes all reasonable adjustments to ensure that job applicants or employees with a disability are not disadvantaged by their workplace or working practices. 

Training and career development is also provided when appropriate and feasible. Staff members with a disability have full access to the facilities and provisions required to enable them to carry out the duties of their position, as far as this is possible, and to opportunities for career progression.

## **Our Volunteers:** 

Inspire retained the Investors in Volunteers Award demonstrating our commitment to volunteers and we will continue to focus on growing our volunteer base across the island of Ireland. We currently have 35 active volunteers who are involved in all aspects of life at Inspire. Together they have volunteered circa 1500 hours this year. Our volunteer led Blossoming Futures Garden Project is now active in 4 services (Millburn, Moylena, Woodlands, Filor Court) with volunteers and service users working together on creating green, healthy outdoor spaces in our services. This year our Volunteer Advisory Group, co-chaired by a volunteer, revised and updated our volunteer strategy and policies and continues to shape volunteering across Inspire. 

## **Thank you to our volunteers** 

Our volunteers help fund our work by giving their time at our fundraising events and by fundraising in their local communities. We are deeply grateful for all the support from our volunteers during the pandemic. We’ve made great efforts to keep in touch with fundraising volunteers through initiatives like newsletters and updates to our Volunteer Hub. We are promoting Inspire as a great place for work experience and to develop skills and qualifications while volunteering with us. 

We wish to thank those who have volunteered with us over the last year.

## **Billy (Volunteer)** 

My chapter with Inspire began approximately 10 years ago as someone who was recovering from an alcohol addiction and a diagnosis of PTSD. I met some amazing people who helped me to focus on dealing with my personal challenges but also towards getting back to work. With this support I completed a qualification in Health and Social Care and began a work placement at Niamh's (as it was called at the time) community wellbeing service in East Belfast. 

In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic presented me with a number of challenges, not least being stuck at home and not being able to get out. However, when it was safe to get outside, Inspire's Aspen Community Wellbeing Service made it possible for me to begin as Gardening Volunteer to maintain their grounds. This was a lifeline, bringing structure and purpose to my days during the week. I love being outdoors and using my gardening experience to allow others to enjoy this space as part of their engagement with Aspen. 

In 2021, I extended my garden volunteering to Millburn Supported Housing in South Belfast where their green space had become overgrown and in need of attention. Together with another volunteer, Robin, we joined a small team of local residents on a weekly basis tasked with rejuvenating this space. We soon became known as the 'Blossoming Futures Project' team and have inspired other Inspire services to either rejuvenate or create green spaces. This development has led me to meet staff, other volunteers and those using our services to support them in creating a garden plan. 

Being an Inspire volunteer has given me so many opportunities that I am very grateful for. I know the benefits of being in the garden, taking in the fresh air and enjoying the process of growing your own flowers, fruit and vegetables. This role has given me so much and I'm delighted to give a little back to Inspire and those using their services! 

## **Volunteer Story** 

I am mid 20's and I have lived experience of mental ill health. Having been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder I can relate to the mental health struggles of members within the services that I volunteer. 

I volunteer to give something back using my experience and skills. I do it to get structure and routine in to my life. I feel this is very important. I have an active routine within my volunteering. I learn skills and get great satisfaction from my role. 

Through volunteering I have gained confidence to take on a part time job within the social care industry. I have found that I have really enjoyed being part of a team and have realised that I have the potential to work within social care. I am confident that my supervisor will support me to get the right employment when the time is right for me. 

The volunteer coordinator has been very supportive and invites me regularly to attend the volunteer forum meeting and engage with other volunteers to share experiences. Inspire are good organisation to volunteer for as they value us. Staff and members are very helpful and have really helped me settle into my role.

## **Wendy (Volunteer, Former Service User)** 

I first attended Inspire in 2013 as a service user. It took several attempts to make it in through the door after I was referred. Once I did make it through the door I knew it was going to be the best thing I would do in a long time. I immediately felt at ease, the staff were extremely kind and inviting. After a few months of gaining back some confidence that I had lost, I began to become more involved in the sessions I was attending. Simple things like making the tea, peeling potatoes for the lunch and calling the bingo. I made some amazing friends and began to earn the trust of the other service users and staff. I had been approached by staff and asked if I would be willing to attend a service user meeting for "hands up" where I was asked in the meeting what my strengths were. Eventually I was asked to help make posters for lunch menus and events, run errands in the local shop and making bank lodgments. I fell into further projects such as the SURF group (Service User Reference Forum) that had meetings in Belfast. From there I got involved with courses such as Co-facilitation, Advocacy, Hands up, Inspire to be Inspired, Managing Chang£ to name but a few. 

Things has quieted down for a while and I gained enough confidence to return to employment. I started to get a feeling that something was missing so I contacted Inspire and asked if there was anything I could do to lend a hand. Immediately the center manager was on the ball and got in touch with the volunteer coordinator and the ball got rolling. I now am involved with sessions on a Tuesday morning for music group, and an afternoon ladies group. Wednesday I attend and help with garden art and on a Thursday I am involved with a knit and knatter group in the morning and I call bingo in the afternoon session. I love being helpful, even just making the tea, opening a door for someone with mobility issues, sitting with someone who needs a little bit of support, chatting with the members and having a bit of craic with them. The best thing for me is that I got help from Inspire when I needed it. I got a confidence boost from Inspire when I needed it and it has done me the world of good so, for me to be able to give back, hopefully make a small change or bring a smile to someone else's face who may be having a bad day, means the world to me. 


## **Angela Neill (Volunteer)** 

I began volunteering as Quiz Master for Inspire in summer 2022. I host an online quiz every 2 weeks (using the SpeedQuiz app and Zoom) which lasts about an hour and consists of 4 rounds: 2 General Knowledge, Music and TV and Film. At the moment, the Newtownards centre (coordinated by Lynn) joins but we hope to grow the quiz to include other centres and individuals. We want to welcome as many attendees as possible to enjoy the quiz. I try to make the quizzes as fun as possible: the Music round is made up of music clips, the TV and Film round includes movie posters and I sometimes use themes e.g. St Patrick’s Day, colours, animals etc. 

I have enjoyed meeting new people and sharing with them my love of quizzing. I feel included in the Inspire organisation (regularly meeting my manager and I attended the staff and volunteer conference in November and Christmas volunteer event) 

I hope I am making a difference to those who attend and enjoy engaging with them throughout the quiz. Recently, I introduced a round format where you can steal points from another team if you buzz the correct answer fastest. This was a lot of fun and made everyone more competitive than usual! 

I would recommend volunteering with Inspire as it is a good way to give back to the community and meet new people.

## **Carlo McNicholl (Volunteer)** 

I’m here to help and support both staff and service users alike. I facilitate a Gamers / Anime group in Ballymoney once a week and then spend Thursday at Woodvale CWS in Ballymena, helping staff with the groups that are held there that day. 

Personally from my volunteering it has been beneficial as it helps me get out and about in the community. I enjoy helping others and have found great solace in doing so as it gives me a reason to keep going when times are tough. 

I originally started with Niamh, in their North East Service, as a member. I was quiet and backwards and didn’t find it easy to communicate. When I started I joined a cooking group, as it didn’t have many members and I didn’t have to take part if I didn’t feel like it. Over my time within the group, the facilitator got to know my interests and suggested that I could volunteer to help out with a computer group. I wasn’t sure at the time but I thought about it and when I had built up enough confidence I decided that I’d give it a go. This was one of my best decisions since I became mentally ill as it gave me an opportunity to give back but also have support I needed to keep giving. Since then I’ve had a lot of ups and downs over the years, but there has always been one constant in all of my trials and tribulations. I could give back and try and help others not feel like I do sometimes, yes I am sick, I have conditions, but I’m still me outside of everything and I want others to feel the same about themselves. 

I would recommend giving back as much as you can because helping others is a worthwhile way of spending your time and thankfully with Inspire they give you all the support you may need to do this. 

Do your best to smile even when times are tough because that smile might save you but it can always help another!

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2023 



**Trustees’ Report and Strategic Report** 

## Risk Management 

## **Our Risk Management Strategy** 

To identify both strategic and corporate risks that threaten the achievement of Inspire Wellbeing’s core strategic objectives, Inspire Wellbeing applies the principles of Corporate Risk Management through a comprehensive Corporate Risk Register. The core areas of the Register are developed from an assessment of Inspire Wellbeing’s Strategic Corporate Plan and measured against performance. The process of effective risk management within Inspire includes a number of measures including: 

- Risk Identification 

- Risk Assessment 

- Risk Treatment and Management 

- Risk Monitoring and Review 

- Risk Reporting 

All key risks are reviewed on a regular basis by the Executive Leadership Team and appropriate actions are taken to ensure mitigation. The register is a live document and is updated as risks increase, decrease or emerge. The Board of Trustees is responsible for seeking assurances that the organisation effectively operates systems and processes to manage risks, by receiving and reviewing reports and information from the Finance, Risk & Corporate Services Committee. 

## **Principal Risks and Uncertainties** 

## Financial Risk: 

Lack of financial resource to meet increasing/ changing demands and growth. 

Data Leakage, Hacking etc. These types of threats continue to grow in complexity and understanding them is the best way to defend our organisation. We have invested, and will continue to invest, in skills, hardware and software to help us face this challenge. We work to continually monitor and update our infrastructure and are actively looking at ways of improving our security. 

## Resource Risk: 

Challenges in attracting and retaining social care staff. 

The recruitment and retention of staff remains a challenge not only for the organisation but for the sector as a whole. As an organisation we carry out regular reviews and benchmarking exercise across the sector. Where necessary, subject to affordability, we have increased salaries to reflect the demand within the sector and we have restructured our services accordingly. A key part of our recruitment campaigns also involves advertising the nonmonetary benefits. 

We advertised widely and over the last year we have looked at creative ways of advertising, through virtual job fairs, links to schools, colleges and universities. As part of the selection process we have changed the way in which we recruit and have moved away from a competency based interview approach to values led recruitment. As part of our longer term strategy, we are developing a formal succession plan for key staff, and continue a full review of our terms and conditions of employment. 

## Reputational Risk: 

Failure to meet Regulatory standards. 

Financial resource management and building reserves remains a key focus across the organisation, with a collaborative approach in setting budgets and forecasts, and managing financial risks and opportunities. These processes ensure we have appropriate action plans in place to improve the financial performance of the organisation and to positively profile the organisation externally. 

## Security Risk: 

Data management and cyber security. 

It is essential to our organisation that we ensure all our services are regulatory compliant. Inspection Reports are public documents which help statutory authorities determine Service Providers’ competency to deliver quality services so we consider regulations and standards relating to designated centres as a minimum threshold. We have robust procedures in place and promote a culture which exceeds regulatory standards and protects the rights and dignity of residents through person-centred care and support. 

Cyber security is an ever evolving threat which can take the form of Ransomware, Phishing, Malware,

## **Regulatory Environment** 

Inspire operates in a highly regulated environment, governed by:

## **Charity Governance Code** 

The Charity Governance Code is designed as a tool to support continuous improvement. The Board of Trustees has reviewed and will regularly revisit the Code’s key principles to ensure the highest standards of governance. 

The Group and Parent Charitable Company continue to work tirelessly to secure income to finance their ongoing activities. 

## **Funds Held as Custodian Trustees on Behalf of Others** 

The Charity holds no funds as custodian trustees on behalf of others. 

## **Independent Auditors** 

During 2023 the trustees tendered for the audit services of Inspire Wellbeing. A proposal for auditors will be put to the members of the company at the Annual General Meeting. 

## **Funding Sources** 

The Group and Parent Charitable Company have in the past and continue to fund their charitable activities through obtaining funding from a number of providers, including the Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Trusts, the Health Service Executive in the Republic of Ireland, Supporting People, the Housing Executive, the Public Health Agency and a number of agencies.

**Trustees’ Report and Strategic Report** 

## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities In Respect of the Financial Statements 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Inspire Wellbeing for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report (including the Strategic Report) and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation. 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have prepared the Financial Statements in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

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 state of the affairs of the charitable company and the Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charitable Group 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 Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (2019); 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and the Group 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 Charitable Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the oversight of the maintenance and integrity of 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. 

In so far as the Trustees are aware; 

   - There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and 

   - They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 102, 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 charitable company will continue in business.

**Trustees’ Report and Strategic Report** 

## Going Concern 

In the year ended 31 March 2023, the Group made a surplus of £2,098,000 (2021/22: surplus of £2,612,000) Overall, at the year end, the Group had net assets of £13,999,000 (2022: £11,901,000). The Trustees consider the performance for the year to be positive. The Group and parent Charity’s activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are continuously reviewed by the Trustees. This included the company’s Trustees reviewing and taking a prudent approach to future cash flows. After this review it was clear that excess funds existed to pay all liabilities; therefore there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. 

Inspire Wellbeing, the parent charitable company, provides financial support to two of its wholly owned trading subsidiary undertakings, through a letter of support, that operate in line with the Inspire Wellbeing’s Vision and Mission, Carecall (NI) Limited and EAP Consultants Limited. The forecasts of these subsidiaries both show improvement; however 

the subsidiaries continue to require support from the parent charitable company at this time. Inspire Wellbeing is forecast to remain cash positive and has indicated its intent to support both companies for at least one year after the financial statements are signed. 

Taking into consideration the above factors, the Trustees of Inspire Wellbeing are satisfied that the Group’s cash flows are sufficient to enable the Group and charitable parent company to continue as a going concern and settle all liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing of these Financial Statements. Accordingly the Group and parent Charitable Company Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2023 



**Independent Auditor’s Report** 

## _**Independent auditors’ report to the members of Inspire Wellbeing**_ 

## **Report on the audit of the financial statements** 

## **Opinion** 

In our opinion, Inspire Wellbeing’s group financial statements and parent charitable company financial statements (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 31 March 2023 and of the group’s and parent charitable company’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, and of the group’s cash flows, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”, and applicable law); and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Annual Report”), which comprise: the Consolidated and charitable company statement of financial position as at 31 March 2023; the Consolidated statement of financial activities (incorporating the income and expenditure account), the Consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended; and the notes to the financial statements, which include a description of significant accounting policies. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## _Independence_ 

We remained independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

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 and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date on which the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

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. 

However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the group’s and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

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** 

## _**Independent auditors’ report to the members of Inspire Wellbeing (continued)**_ 

## **Reporting on other information** 

The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, any form of assurance thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 

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 based on these responsibilities. 

With respect to the Strategic Report and Trustees' Report, we also considered whether the disclosures required by the UK Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 have been included. 

Based on our work undertaken in the course of the audit, the Companies Act 2006 requires us also to report certain opinions and matters as described below. 

## _Strategic Report and Trustees’ Report_ 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit the information given in the Strategic Report and the Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2023 is consistent with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we did not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Trustees’ Report. 

## _Responsibilities of the trustees for the financial statements_ 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities in respect of the financial statements, 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 in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. The trustees are also responsible for such internal control as they 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 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.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2023 



**Independent Auditor’s Report** 

## _**Independent auditors’ report to the members of Inspire Wellbeing (continued)**_ 

## **Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit (continued)** 

## _Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below. 

Based on our understanding of the group and its industry/environment , we identified that the principal risks of noncompliance with laws and regulations related to Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to the posting of inappropriate journal entries. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- enquiry of management and the board of trustees, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; 

- reading minutes of meetings of the board of trustees; 

- understanding and evaluating the charitable company’s control environment; 

- identifying and testing journal entries, including journal entries posted with unusual account combinations to income; and 

- assessing financial statement disclosures, and testing to supporting documentation, for compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

## **Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit** 

## _Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ 

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations or through collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report. 

## _Use of this report_ 

This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the parent charitable company’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

**Independent Auditor’s Report** 

## _**Independent auditors’ report to the members of Inspire Wellbeing (continued)**_ 

## **Other required reporting** 

## **Companies Act 2006 exception reporting** 

Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. 

We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

**Financial Statements:** 

## Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

## For the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **1) General Information** 

Inspire Wellbeing and its subsidiaries’ (“the Group”) principal activities were to provide the community access to mental health and wellbeing services and support. The parent charitable company is a company limited by guarantee. The company is incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in Northern Ireland, the registration number is NI025428 and the address of its registered office is Lombard House, 10-20 Lombard House, Belfast, BT1 1RD. 

References to “K” in the narrative are to represent ‘000 as noted in tables both representing figures in thousands. Any reference to “M” in the narrative is representing Million. Any reference to 2022/23 within this set of financial statements represent the year up to 31 March 2023, likewise any reference to 2021/22 represent the year up to 31 March 2022. 

## **2) Statement of Compliance** 

The individual Financial Statements of Inspire Wellbeing have been prepared in compliance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2016 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **3) Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## Basis of Preparation 

These Financial Statements are prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention. 

The Trustees have prepared the Financial Statements on the going concern basis, giving careful consideration to the results during the financial period. Taking account of the risk review undertaken by the Trustees they do not consider there to be a risk to the going concern status of the Charity. 

Inspire Wellbeing Company Limited by Guarantee meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost and transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## Going Concern 

In the year ended 31 March 2023, the Group made a surplus of £2,068K (2021/22: surplus of £2,612K) Overall, at the year end, the Group had net assets of £13,999K (2021/22: £11,901K). The Trustees consider the performance for the year to be positive. The Group and parent Charity’s activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position, are continuously reviewed by the Trustees. This included the company’s Trustees reviewing and taking a prudent approach to future cash flows. After this review it was clear that excess funds existed to pay all liabilities; therefore there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. 

Inspire Wellbeing, the parent charitable company, provides financial support to two of its wholly owned trading subsidiary undertakings that operate in line with the Inspire Wellbeing’s Vision and Mission, Carecall (NI) Limited and EAP Consultants Limited. The forecasts of these subsidiaries both show improvement; however the subsidiaries continue to require support from the parent charitable company at this time. Inspire Wellbeing is forecast to remain cash positive and has indicated its intent to support both companies for at least one year after the financial Statements are signed. 

Taking into consideration the above factors, the Trustees of Inspire Wellbeing are satisfied that the Group’s cash flows are sufficient to enable the Group and charitable parent company to continue as a going concern and settle all liabilities as they fall due for at least the next 12 months from the date of signing of these Financial Statements. Accordingly the Group and parent Charitable Company Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2023 



**Financial Statements:** 

## Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

## Continued 

## **3) Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## Basis of Consolidation 

The Inspire Wellbeing Group (“Inspire Wellbeing”) Financial Statements consolidate the results of Inspire Wellbeing and its subsidiary undertakings. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with FRS 102 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. 

## Tangible Assets 

Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of tangible assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition. 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost, or valuation, of tangible assets, less their estimated residual values, on a straight line or reducing balance basis over the expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates used are as follows: 

|Freehold property/Leasehold Premises|–|**2% straight line**|
|---|---|---|
|Ofce furniture and equipment|–|**10% straight line**|
|Non-ofce furniture and equipment|–|**10% straight line**|
|Computer equipment operational/strategic|–|**14.29% – 33.33% straight line**|
|Motor vehicles|–|**20% straight line**|



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

Assets held under finance lease are depreciated over shorter of the useful economic life of the asset or the term of the lease. 

Where the recoverable amount of a fixed asset is found to be below its net book value, the asset is written down to the recoverable figure and the loss on impairment is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Subsequent costs, including major inspections, are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company and cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any replaced component is derecognised. Major components are treated as a separate asset where they have a significantly different pattern of consumption of economic benefits and are depreciated separately over its useful life. Repairs, maintenance and minor inspection costs are expensed as incurred. 

Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. On disposal the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

On adoption of FRS 102 “Tangible fixed assets” the company followed the transitional provisions to retain the book value of buildings which were revalued in 1995 but not to adopt a policy of revaluation in the future.

**Financial Statements:** 

## Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

## Continued 

## **3) Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## Intangible assets 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of businesses over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life, which is 10 years. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. 

## Charitable Activities 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to supply them. Support costs are allocated to their relevant activity based on the income received. 

## Governance Costs 

Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of its assets which are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## Fund Accounting 

The Charity has various types of funds for which it is responsible and which require specific disclosure. A definition of the different types is as follows: 

## Unrestricted Funds 

Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Charity in furtherance of the purpose of the Charity. In addition to expenditure on activities, such funds may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital. 

## Restricted Funds 

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs. 

## Designated Funds 

Designated funds are amounts set aside from unrestricted funds which have been ‘earmarked’ for particular projects. 

## Functional and Presentation Currency 

## Functional Currency 

The financial statements are presented in pound sterling. The company’s functional and presentation currency is the pound sterling. 

## Translation 

The trading results of undertakings are translated into sterling at the average exchange rates for the year. The assets and liabilities of overseas undertakings, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the year end. Exchange adjustments arising from the retranslation of opening net investments and from the translation of the profits or losses at average rates are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2023 



**Financial Statements:** 

## Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

## Continued 

## **3) Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## Financial Instruments 

The Group has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. 

## Financial Assets 

Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

If there is decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. 

## Financial Liabilities 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. 

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts 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 payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

## Offsetting 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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. 

## Related Party Transactions 

The Group discloses transactions with related parties which are not wholly owned within the same group. Where appropriate, transactions of a similar nature are aggregated unless, in the opinion of the directors, separate disclosure is necessary to understand the effect of the transactions on the Group financial statements.

**Financial Statements:** 

## Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 

## Continued 

## **3) Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## Taxation 

Taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the Statement of financial activities, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. 

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. 

## Current Tax 

Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. 

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 

## Deferred Tax 

Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. 

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are only recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 

Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. 

## Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount of obligations can be estimated reliably. 

When there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. 

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

## **3) Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## Contingencies 

Contingent liabilities, arising as a result of past events, are not recognised when (i) it is not probable that there will be an outflow of resources or that the amount cannot be reliably measured at the reporting date or (ii) when the existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of uncertain future events not wholly within the Group’s control. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote. 

## Employee Benefits 

The Charity provides a range of benefits to employees, including paid holiday arrangements and a defined contribution pension plan. 

## **4) Critical Accounting Judgements and Estimation Uncertainty** 

Estimates and judgements 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. 

## Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies 

There are no critical judgements in applying the Charity’s accounting policies. 

## Critical accounting estimates and assumptions 

There are no critical accounting estimates and assumptions. 

## **5) Legal Status of the Charity** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1.
