Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025

Overview

Message from Our Chair

all require careful navigation. Yet, Inspire has remained resilient and focused, ensuring that our care and support services continue not only to meet the needs of individuals and communities but to deliver services with care and compassion which provide support and outreach to achieve meaningful outcomes.

Jill Harrower-Steele Chair

This year, Inspire marked a remarkable milestone, our 65th anniversary. It was a moment to reflect on our legacy, celebrate our achievements, and recommit to our mission: to work together with people living with mental ill health, intellectual disability, autism and addictions to ensure they live with dignity and realise their full potential . We remain steadfast in our vision of a compassionate society, free from stigma, where people are recognised for their strengths and abilities.

We were delighted to mark this key milestone with a special birthday celebration at ICC Belfast, an event that brought together a broad range of service users, colleagues, peers and sectoral partners where we presented our exciting exhibition, Inspired.

Inspired was centred on the stories of those who make Inspire what it is today: the people we support, the staff who work alongside them, the individuals who give us their time and effort. This multimedia and deeply personal exhibition was well received and enjoyed by members of the public across venues in NI.

Thus far in my role as Chair, I have had the privilege of working alongside a deeply committed Board and Executive Leadership Team. Together, we are informed by the voices of those we support, our staff, and our partners. Where we can make a difference has been shaped by hearing directly from, and collaborating with, service users both in day-to-day work and activities and in structured events such as our ideas generator events. We launched the second phase of our ‘If, it’s Okay’ campaign, which obtained cross party support in NI and sought to build awareness to remove stigma and shame around mental ill-health.

Delivering intellectual disability and autism care and support services to empower people to live independently as part of their community, remains one of our core activities across the island of Ireland but also continues to present challenges. Regional disparities, limited funding uplifts to reflect cost of living/ funding constraints, and workforce pressures

One of the year’s most exciting developments has been the growing success of Lena, our social enterprise. Lena exemplifies Inspire’s innovative spirit. It is a testament to how we continue to evolve with the changing world we live in, while remaining true to our core purpose, wellbeing for all. Lena provides a range of wellbeing support, training and interventions which help organisations, employees and students to thrive. We continue to consider opportunities for innovation and change which will allow us to better deliver our purpose.

Our governance remains strong. As a group of Boards and Committees, our executive team ensures the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data provided to the non-executive trustees, who challenge with respect and direct with collective authority. We have a good mix of skills, experience and diversity and will continue to build on this as trustees who have reached term retire and new trustees join us. Under the leadership of our CEO, Kerry Anthony, Inspire remains dynamic, values-driven, and focused on continuous improvement. Our Nominations and Governance Committee has overseen the implementation of minor improvements, as well as trustee recruitment and rotation. We said farewell to several long-serving Trustees and Chair Aidan Browne whose contribution has helped shape Inspire’s journey. I would particularly like to acknowledge Aidan’s focus on service users and deep expertise in mental health. We also said goodbye to Darren Stewart, our Director of Finance, IT and Property. We were also delighted to welcome, David Sterling, Patricia Goan and Ginny Hanrahan whose insights and energy have already enriched our Board.

We are deeply grateful to our funders, whose continued support enables us to deliver on our promises. Their trust in Inspire reflects our integrity and impact.

As we look ahead, I do so with confidence that Inspire will remain Inclusive, Passionate, Determined, Kind, Honest, and Innovative and a tireless advocate for those who need us most.

Jill Harrower-Steele Chair

Overview

Message from Our CEO

Our partnerships flourished, as we worked with sector colleagues on campaigns, resource development and shared learning. We were especially pleased to secure Peace Plus funding for two major programmes to be delivered in partnership with leading voluntary and community organisations across the island of Ireland over the next four years.

This year, Inspire proudly celebrated 65 years since our founder, Lady Wakehurst, established our first service in Belfast. I have been delighted to participate in events that have brought together our entire Inspire community, many of which are highlighted in this report. In this year, whilst we reflected on our history, we also continued to strive forward, expanding into new areas of work and building meaningful partnerships.

A major milestone was the rebrand of Inspire Therapeutic and Wellbeing Services to Lena by Inspire. “Lena,” meaning light in Greek, honours our charitable roots, while signalling a bold new chapter for our commercial offering. The three-year review gathered pace in this year as we improved the internal systems and processes necessary to underpin the successful delivery of a modern, profitmaking social enterprise. With a sharp eye on the quality and clinical robustness of the service we deliver, we focused on data driven decision making, digital system development and clearer impact reporting.

Across our Care and Support Services, we advanced our commitment to human rights through the establishment of Rights Restrictions Review Committees and Quality and Safeguarding Forums. We also launched Inspiring Leaders, a new leadership development framework grounded in the principles of servant leadership and the values of Inspire. This initiative will nurture leadership potential from day one of every staff member’s journey with us.

As I reflect on the milestone developments in the year Inspire turned 65, it would be impossible to ignore the significant challenges we have faced. Decision making at government level remains slow and ongoing pressures on government budgets present challenges across the board. I will continue to advocate for services funded to a level that enables us to not only continue to deliver high quality and safe care and support, but also to ensure our staff are properly remunerated for the work they do with such commitment and compassion. As always, I want to thank our staff teams right across Inspire for the work they do to progress the mission of the organisation

Inspire is deeply rooted in the communities we serve. As we enter a new year and shape the next phase of our strategic plan, informed by the people who use our services, our focus will be firmly on human rights, climate justice, equality, diversity, anti-racism, and social justice. The people who rely on our services are increasingly concerned about the impact of government decisions on their wellbeing and financial security, particularly as public discourse around mental health and social support becomes more polarised. It is deeply troubling that in this year I have had to issue public statements twice condemning acts of violent racism in the very streets where our teams live and work. These incidents underscore the urgent need for continued advocacy and action.

Inspire and its subsidiaries are made stronger due to the strength of its governance arrangements and the support of the voluntary members of its boards. I would like to thank all our board members for their time and preparation, their clear commitment to the values of Inspire and their open debate and questioning to allow them to make the very best decisions now and for the future. I greatly appreciate their thoughtful guidance and direction.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025

Overview

This year Inspire celebrated our 65th anniversary

Services across Inspire held parties, BBQ’s and celebrations. We returned to Hillsbourgh Castle, the home of our founder Lady Wakehurst, for a special celebration of Inspire staff and in partnership with our friends in DEARA, we planted 65 trees across our services.

The culmination of the celebrations was the launch of INSPIRED, a unique multi-media exhibition bringing together the stories of our service users and staff and the impact of our work on lives of everyday people across Ireland.

Kerry Anthony MBE, Chief Executive of Inspire

“As we mark the 65th anniversary of Inspire, we have been reflecting upon how the values that shape our mission today are inextricably linked to that first Beacon centre: to improve lives, ensure that people are treated fairly, and create the conditions in which everyone may live with dignity and reach their full potential. It was so named as a sign of light.

“Six decades later, I am proud to lead this very special organisation that shines a light of hope and changes the lives of thousands every year.”

The multi-media exhibition consists of everyday items, each belonging to one individual and prompting a story or memory of a specific point in their life. Each seemingly mundane article (a set of car jump-leads, a 1970s iron, a pair of running shoes, a front door key) has a deeply personal story conveyed through audio narration by the story-tellers themselves. Each shares intimate reflections on their experiences, reflects on their past and, with support from Inspire, looks ahead to the future.

Contributors range from two survivors of a mother and baby home, now aged in their 90’s, to a TV film archivist who worked during the troubles, and a young man who, although non-speaking, uses music to communicate. All have benefited from, work with, or provide volunteer support for Inspire.

The exhibition was launched at an event hosted by Inspire partner ICC which brought together the Inspire community, old and new, to celebrate and reflect on the development of our organisation. Following a month long stay in the ICC, INSPIRED continues to be displayed in libraries across Northern Ireland in partnership with Libraries NI.

Our Impact and Our Ambition

(continued)

Mental Health and Addiction Care and Support Services (continued)

Overall Position

Inspire supported 5,053 people in 2025, compared with 7,007 in 2024.
This represents a 28% reduction in overall reach, reflecting both service changes and the ending of the Advocacy for All project in 2024 (1521 people supported).

Mental Health Services

Supported Living: Stable delivery (344 vs. 353).
Floating Support: Reduction (111 vs. 217) due to overlap of people from 24/25 supported over 2-year window.
Community Wellbeing Services: Reduced from 1,688 to 1,366.
Advocacy – Trust Contracted: Consistent levels (677 vs. 708).
Advocacy for All: Service ceased, removing support for over 1,500 individuals.
SHIP (Self Harm Intervention Group): Expanded reach, supporting 1,117 individuals (850 service users and 267 carers/family) across 4,141 sessions, up from 1,053.
Bright Futures: Stable (59 vs. 62).
Family Support: Significant growth (267 vs. 7), reflecting increased demand and responsiveness.
Total Mental Health Services: 3,926 supported, down from 5,609.

Addiction Services

Addiction Treatments 1,001 supported, down from 1,163, mainly due to the removal of the Drug Misuse Courts service.
MAP Group: Sharp reduction (70 vs. 201), due to removal of group interventions in some step 2 contracts.
Family Members Supported: Slight increase (41 vs. 34).
Total Addiction Services: 1,112 supported, down from 1,398.

Key Insights

Growth Areas: SHIP and Family Support demonstrated strong expansion, showing Inspire’s ability to adapt to emerging needs.
Stable Services: Supported Living, Bright Futures, and Trust-contracted Advocacy maintained consistent delivery.
Declining Reach: Floating Support, Community Wellbeing, and MAP Group saw notable reductions, while the end of Advocacy for All created a significant reduction in people receiving support.
Overall Impact: Despite reduced numbers, Inspire continued to deliver high-impact interventions, particularly in supported living, community wellbeing, addictions, self-harm support and family engagement.

Strategic Achievements

Quality: Maintained consistently high standards of care and support across all services, with strong satisfaction levels reported in therapeutic interventions (SHIP and Addiction Services).
Culture: Advanced our values-led approach, embedding servant leadership across the management tier.
Team: Continued to build a committed and passionate workforce, strengthening Inspire as a values-driven organisation.
Voice: Influenced policy and practice by ensuring the perspectives of service users and staff are heard by key stakeholders and decision-makers.
Innovation: Secured peace funding to deliver new mental health initiatives across Ireland. Our hospital discharge model continues to demonstrate innovative, rights-based approaches to supporting people leaving long-stay care.

Mental Health and Addiction Care and Support Services (continued)

Key Challenges

Rising demand and increasing complexity of needs, alongside budgetary pressures.
Recruitment and retention difficulties across the workforce.
Limited access to statutory support, increasing risk and incident management pressures.
High prevalence of physical health issues among service users, with restricted access to adequate healthcare.
Supporting staff resilience in a challenging and uncertain social care environment.

Key Objectives and Goals 2025/26

Data-Informed: Strengthen data capability to measure impact and outcomes across all services.
Integration: Develop a fully integrated care model across Inspire.
Quality Framework: Enhance and embed Inspire’s quality framework to drive continuous improvement.
Workforce Development: Implement a plan to expand training and skills, ensuring staff can meet evolving service user needs.

Physical Health: Improve access to physical health initiatives to reduce health inequalities.
Service Review: Audit and evaluate services to strengthen the service models and maintain high standards of care and support.

Conclusion

The year to March 2025 reflects a period of transition. While overall service reach declined, Inspire demonstrated resilience and innovation, with notable growth in SHIP and Family Support. The organisation remains committed to tackling health inequalities, supporting individuals and families, and advocating for sustained investment in mental health and addiction services.

Key Achievements:

We continued to support people to undertake preferred activities, employment and volunteering linking in with the local community where they live.
We commenced our pilot Rights Restrictions Review Committee. The purpose of this committee is to ensure that due process and best practice has been followed in the decision making for all cases where a person’s rights, for whatever reason, are restricted in an Inspire service.
Continued to promote choice and control in the lives of the people we support, facilitating them to identify and achieve their own goals, including some holidays abroad & some volunteering in their communities.
Continued the implementation of the new digital service user information system Iplanit which helps evidence our quality and standards of care.

Key Challenges:

Managing changing needs for the people we support within the context of static funding.
Recruitment remains a key challenge for all services and all grades of staff.
Challenges in the national Health Service impacted many of the people we support, as it did in all areas of our community this year. We have continued to advocate for and provide personal support to help people navigate these complex systems to have their heath needs addressed.

Key Objectives and Goals 2025/26:

Progress the next phase of our Rights Restrictions Review Committee – to identify the key resources needed and embed the process in our systems and procedures.
Complete the Iplanit implementation across all services and move to the next phase of direct access for the people we support and their families/representatives in line with their will and preferences.
Services will work to increase activity in partnership and co-production under the Inspire Community Engagement and Service User Engagement Framework 2023–26.

Key Achievements:

Empowering our community through service user engagement. There were 5,907 hours of volunteering delivered within our services, with 30 active volunteers. This equates to a social impact value of £56,097. Our community engagement events and activities over the year had a total attendance of 752. This year has seen an increase in both numbers of service users getting involved in community engagement and the number of opportunities to get involved. The Service User Reference Forum, SURF, continues to flourish with 12 active members now in place. The Addictions Reference Group produced guidelines for how substance use should be discussed in the media. Our Pride Committee delivered a robust calendar of events to celebrate Pride Month including public engagement and lunchtime learning sessions. In collaboration with Ulster University, a new peer led research group has been developing co-produced research around accessing further education for people living with complex mental illness.
Reducing stigma through our involvement and engagement in wider community. Our social media reach including organic and paid for adverts was 514K. Our websites had 426.3k visitors and 5.35 million people had the opportunity to see stories about Inspire across radio, television and print media.
Influencing decision making through public affairs. In September government launched a draft Programme for Government. Inspire’s Service User Reference Forum (SURF) indicated that they wanted to respond to this on behalf of those who access Inspire services. Their response “It Doesn’t Have to Be Like This. Let’s Change It”, represents the views expressed at our Ideas Generator events since 2022. It amplifies the collective voice of individuals representing every one of our services.
Developing our reach through innovation. In October we were awarded €7,725,877.67 Peace Plus funding as part of the Investment Area 4.1 Collaborative Health and Social Care funding round. Inspire has a unique role in this project in that we are the lead project partner as well as a service delivery partner.

Our other project partners are Cedar Foundation, Mencap, DePaul, Red Cross NI, Apex Housing, Respond Housing. The overall objective of Right Support Right Time is to promote positive mental wellbeing, increase resilience and prevent the deterioration of existing mental and emotional distress in people, families, and communities. Together, the partners in Right Support Right Time have 430 years’ experience in supporting vulnerable, less heard from, and disadvantaged people, families and communities in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Over that time our society has moved from one of everyday violence and fear to relative peace and stability. However, due to a myriad of local and global issues we have observed health inequalities deepen, the lives of the people we support become more complex and the communities we work in move further away from the opportunity to access the services they need to promote mental wellbeing and address mental distress.

Key Challenges:

Government funding restrictions for community activity and engagement
Navigating the changes in misinformation and ethics of social media affecting our availability to reach audiences.
The ever-changing technology landscape presenting challenges and opportunities
Cost of living and other external issues impacting on fundraising opportunities

Key Objectives and Goal 2025/26:

Expand our co-designed community training offering
Produce and implement a public affairs strategy
Review and update our service use engagement structures

Why did you become a volunteer with Inspire?

I started volunteering for Hope House a year ago. I was a member here while another lady was a volunteer. Then when she left, I took on her role, essentially. We had established a really good group of friends, and I didn’t want that to disappear so that’s why I stepped up to do the volunteering and I haven’t looked back since. I love it. Hope House has been amazing.

Name: Moyra Volunteer Role: Gardening Volunteer Inspire Service: Millburn Supported Housing

Tell us about your volunteering role?

I started at Millburn Close almost two years ago. I retired and they needed a bit of help for a few months, so I thought alright, I’ll do that for a few months’ and I’ve been here ever since.

What do you most enjoy about your role?

One of the best things is the setting. It’s just a beautiful place to be. It’s so peaceful. The trees and the plants and the birds. It’s just a time-out every Friday, that’s what it is for me. And the best thing is getting to eat the produce at the end.

How long have you been volunteering with Inspire?

I’ve been volunteering for Woodvale for fifteen years.

What do you most enjoy about your role?

I just love coming in and sitting down talking to people. It gives you a purpose, it gives you something to do. Even if it’s only for an hour, it’s got you out of the house and it’s good for you!

I’ve enjoyed it for the past fifteen years and I’ll keep enjoying it right on up until I can’t do it anymore so I will.

What is the best part of your volunteering role?

Volunteer Quotes

It was great to hear about the work you do as I’d never heard of the Charity before, but I’ll certainly be looking out for it in the future. It was very much appreciated that there was a warm room to gather in with plenty of tea/coffee and a delicious lunch. All the staff were lovely and just so welcoming and appreciative. It was a total pleasure being there so thank you!
Highly respect what Inspire are about. Staff were lovely and very helpful, the work was enjoyable and felt meaningful, simultaneously helping others and the environment is a huge win.
I love volunteering at Filor Court.
Had a ball and got to meet new people.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025

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.

Financial resource management and building reserves remains a key focus across the organisation, with a collaborative approach in setting budgets & 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.

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 & 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 exercises 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.

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,

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

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.

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025

Trustees’ Report and Strategic Report

Going Concern

In the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group made a surplus of £1,934K (2023/24: surplus of £1,206K) Overall, at the year end, the Group had net assets of £16,651K (2023/24: £15,205K). 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.

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 2025

Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

to the Members of Inspire Wellbeing

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Inspire Wellbeing (the ‘Parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated and charitable company statement of financial position, the Consolidated statement of financial activities (incorporating the income and expenditure account), the Consolidated cash flow statement 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 Group’s & Parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the Group’s & Parent’s incoming resources and application of resources, including the Group’s & Parent’s income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the 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 Group or Parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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 such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in 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 in this regard.

certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the Trustees’, who are also directors of the Charity for 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 directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or Parent 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

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

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

Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Inspire Wellbeing (continued)

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the Group & Parent charitable company.

Based on our understanding of the Group & Parent charitable company and their operating environment, we determined that the most significant frameworks which have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements are those related to the reporting framework, (FRS 102, the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, the Charity SORP and the Companies Act 2006). Additionally, we concluded that there are significant laws and regulations in relation to the Group & Parent charitable company’s charitable status and activities of which non-compliance may have a material effect on the financial statements.

We assessed the susceptibility of the Parent charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, including evaluating management’s incentives and opportunities to manage earnings or influence the reported results. From the results of our assessment, we determined that the principal risks of fraud relate to posting inappropriate journal entries and use of charity funds for purposes outside of restrictions imposed by the donor. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

Audit response to risks identified

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

We obtained an understanding of the Group’s & Parent charitable company’s internal control systems in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s & Parent charitable company’s internal control.
We obtained an understanding of how the Group & Parent charitable company complies with relevant laws and regulations, including those as a result of its registration with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland and charitable status with HM Revenue & Customs, by making enquiries of management and those charged with governance.
Enquiry of management, those charged with governance and the entity’s solicitors around actual and potential litigation and claims.
Enquiry of entity staff to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Auditor’s Report

to the Members of Inspire Wellbeing (continued)

Audit response to risks identified (continued)

We communicated relevant laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. 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 through collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.

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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Parent charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and regulations made under that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Parent charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Parent charitable company and its members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2025

1) General Information

Inspire Wellbeing and its subsidiaries’ (the Group’s) 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 Street, 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 2024/25 within this set of financial statements represents the year up to 31 March 2025, likewise any reference to 2023/24 represents the year up to 31 March 2024.

2) Statement of Compliance

The Financial Statements of Inspire Wellbeing and its subsidiaries 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, The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015 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

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

Taking into consideration the above factors, the Trustees of Inspire Wellbeing are satisfied with the Group’s ability 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 2025

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.

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	–	20% – 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.

3) Accounting Policies (continued)

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 and head count.

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 Foreign (or overseas) 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.

Financial Instruments

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

Inspire Wellbeing Annual Report Year Ended 31 March 2025

Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued)

3) Accounting Policies (continued)

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 a 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 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.

3) Accounting Policies (continued)

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.

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.
