This like-minded group of individuals have over the years championed their local NHS Boards throughout Scotland over the provision of services for women and their families. At the AGM held in August 2015 it was agreed to change the organisations name to Maternal Mental Health Scotland. In June 2022, the organisation changed its name to Parent and Infant Mental Health Scotland. The organisation was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) on 29 May 2014, with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. ## _**Objectives of the charity:**_ i) The advancement of education, by the promotion of research and public and professional awareness in perinatal mental health. ii) The advancement of good perinatal mental health for women and families, by promoting service innovation and quality perinatal mental health care across the health and social care spectrum. iii) The saving of lives promoting best evidence for prevention, detection and timely treatment for women, who may experience serious mental illness during pregnancy and following childbirth. 1 ## _**Trustees for year ending 31 March 2025:**_ Chair Clinical Lead Treasurer (Non Trustee) Acting Secretary (Non Trustee) ## **Chair’s Report:** The past year has been a case of working towards winding up the work of Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Scotland. We would like to thank all the organisations involved within the perinatal mental health field in Scotland for their support. We are particularly proud of the role that Parent and Infant Mental Health Scotland played in influencing the Scottish Government Programme Board’s final report to the Minister, which included the foundations for legacy planning. We also played a role in forming the purpose and scope of the Scottish Government’s Joint Strategic Board. We also need to note the impact of user involvement and this was initially driven by the Change Agents, with funding from the SeeMe (anti stigma) initiative. A decision has also been made by the Trustees, to distribute any leftover funds to the following organisations, who PIMHS have had close links with: CrossReach (perinatal counselling service) Lets All Talk North East Mums (LATNEM) HomeStart (Glasgow North & North Lanarkshire Project) Juno Perinatal Mental Health Support Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who has acted as a Trustee over the past 11 years, for their tireless efforts in campaigning to improve services to women who have experienced perinatal mental health issues, their partners and families. **Chair & Trustee** **10 December 2025** 2 ## **Parent and Infant Mental Health Scotland** **Statement of Receipts and Payments for Year Ended 31 March 2025** Year ended 31 March 2025 Year Ended 31 March 2024 Unrestricted Funds Restricted Funds **Receipts** MMHA Nil £13,884 Scottish Government Nil £19,936.02 Robertson Trust Nil £1,500 University of Dundee Nil £2,441 Fundraising & Donations £1.528.25 Nil Sub Totals £1,528.25 Nil **Total Receipts £1,528.25 £37,761.02 Payments** Salaries &Wages i £6,750.12 £55,937.52 Pension, NI &PAYE ii £2,461.30 £13,681.63 SCVO Payroll £254.18 £779.36 Cattanach iii £12,096.21 Nil Conference/Meetings Nil £656.20 Employer Liability Insurance Nil £758.52 Website costs iv £6,484.77 £95.99 Office equipment/ Stationary/mobile £2,245.88 £3,671.23 phone expenses IT Support £185.38 £1,119.96 Expenses Nil £1,424.71 Sub Totals £8,916.03 £21,561.81 **Total Payments £30,477.84 £78,125.12** ## **Cont...** **Payments exceeded Receipts for year ended 31 March 2025 by £28,949.59 Money brought forward at 1 April 2024, £53,461.25 in bank** **Money at year end, 31 March 2025, £24,511.66 in bank** 1 ## **Notes:** **i) Communication Officer whose contract expired on 31 March 2024, was pregnant when she left our employment.
