Hayley Williams ## **Charity Trustees** Name all of your charity trustees for the period, and the date they left if they were not in post for the whole year - • • • • • • ## **A word from our Chair** ## **Objectives and activities** The Stephen Lyon Organisation is dedicated to preventing suicide, challenging prejudice, and promoting diversity. Our goal is to provide a broad spectrum of support and adopt positive relationships that enhance the lives of individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health issues. We strive to empower individuals to openly discuss their thoughts and feelings about suicide. We collaborate with government agencies and other community and voluntary organisations to create and enhance a support service that benefits the local community. Our mission is to offer a safe and confidential environment where individuals can freely express their thoughts and feelings about suicide without fear of judgment or embarrassment. We aim to educate and assure individuals that mental health challenges can be managed with community support. Our team is composed of a diverse group of staff and volunteer support workers who champion voluntary action. We collaborate with other agencies to enhance community-based opportunities and build a resilient and sustainable organisation. We adopt a person-centred approach to make voluntary and community action effective. We ensure everyone feels welcome and has an independent voice that helps alleviate anxieties and promotes self-control. Our ultimate goal is to create a supportive and understanding community where mental health is openly challenged, discussed and addressed. **2** Structure, governance and management The Stephen Lyon organisation is Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation {SCIO). It was created in its current form on 9th September 2020. Our charity has a single tier structure therefore, trustees are also members of the organisation for the purposes of the charities and trustee investment (Scotland) Act 2005. Trustee recrultment and appolntment The management committee are the charity's trustees, and they meet every quarter and have the general control over the activities of the organisation. Membership of Ihe management committee is open to member of the public and willing to uphold the aims and values of the charity. The board can appoint any person to be an appointed trustee by way of a resolution passed by the majority vote at a board meeting. Each of our Trustee have completed a declaration form and a disclosure Scotland application. Claire is also our senior lead for safeguarding and child protection, along with the seNice manager {also a child protection lead) they ensure that we always have a safeguarding policy in place and that all volunteers and staff follow the correct procedure when working with children or vulnerable adults. Our management committee is a diverse pool of knowledge and expertise. Our chairperson brings to the table valuable experience in business management, while our treasurer contributes years of commitment to the charity and serves and also serves as a volunteer. Our secretary, despite being new to the role, is keen to demonstrate her commitment and efficiency to the committee. We also have our family spokesperson, who articulates the perspectives and wishes of Stephen's family regarding the charity's progression. This collective expertise ensures a well-rounded approach to our mission. Achievements and performance This year has been a year for us to make connections. We have continued to work with a variety of different organisations and agencies to widen our reach and promote our mission in the prevention of suicide. Our manager has completed her qualification in Counselling and will use her trainin know ge and expertise to offer counselling to our seNice users in the future. continues to work with Trauma Healing Together- who provide support & opportunities to individuals who have experienced psychological trauma and The Neuk, Perth - a mental health crisis and suicide prevention centre. Our apprenti￿ has completed her Level 4 Business Admin and has now embarked on a course with the Open University to become a qualified support worker. We congratulate on all her achievements and hard work and wish her the best of luck in the ure will continue with us as a admin volunteer and trainee befriender. The Thurs Group enjoyed a holiday in Jedburgh this year. Five of the group enjoyed visiting the historical monuments, visiting Berwick and having time to relax and support each other. The group ee will continue to meet each week at the Tillicoultry Baptist Church Annexe in the winter and plan the walks & activities for the Spring. ## **Financial review** ## **Statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** At The Stephen Lyon Organisation, we adhere to a prudent financial strategy by maintaining a target of one month's operating costs as our desired level of general reserves. This deliberate approach ensures our financial stability and resilience. Our decision regarding reserves undergoes an annual review, considering several critical factors: - Volunteer Numbers*: We assess the availability and commitment of our dedicated volunteers. - Operational Costs: A thorough examination of our ongoing expenses guides our reserve allocation. - Service User Considerations: The number of service users and their needs play a pivotal role in our decision-making process. These reserves serve as a safeguard, allowing us to offset unforeseen bills or unexpected payments when necessary. By maintaining this balance, we uphold our commitment to responsible financial management. ## **Details of any deficit** During this period, our charity encountered a financial deficit due to a computer error at HMRC, resulting in an overcharge of £7,625. HMRC is aware of the issue and has initiated an investigation to resolve it and return the overcharged amount. While this process may take some time, our volunteers have continued to provide professional and effective service. This underscores the resilience and commitment of our team in navigating financial challenges. ## **GRAPH TO BE ADDED** ## **Donated facilities and services** We have not required any the use of any other service or facility. ## **Future plans** We have a lot of plans for the year 2024 – 25. We plan to expand our services to include counselling. As part of our new initiatives, we have introduced a befriending service. This service provides individuals with hope and **4** companionship, whether they need support after intensive support or simply a companion to help them achieve their goals, attend appointments, try new challenges, and make new friends. We are discussing a relocation of the charity. Our research indicates that we have significantly more service users in Perth compared to our current area. Relocating to Perth would offer numerous opportunities for expansion and development, allowing us to recruit more volunteers and reach a greater number of individuals in need. Perth, with an approximate population of 47,350, presents a promising environment for our services. As of January 2024, 1,885,217 people were in contact with mental health services across the UK. The Perth & Kinross Council has a three-year action plan that implements the first stage of the Scottish Government and COSLA’s 10-year suicide prevention strategy. We aim to be an integral part of this plan for change. We are already collaborating with the Suicide Prevention Steering Group and Management Committees. By participating in Every Life Matters and Shatter the Silence campaigns, we can demonstrate to the Government, Council, NHS, and other statutory bodies that The Stephen Lyon Organisation is committed to its mission and eager to contribute to the action plan. This collaboration will involve sharing resources and learning. We have also taken steps to join the National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group (NSPLG), which champions and drives suicide prevention through a partnership approach. Relocating to Perth will enhance our ability to deliver effective services that align with the Scottish Government’s 10-year plan. We will be able to showcase our commitment, empathy, and compassion for others. Our charity was founded by individuals dedicated to helping others without monetary reward. We deeply value our volunteers for their skills, knowledge, and commitment to assisting others. By building a community that invests in its citizens, we can provide the support they need when they need it most. ## **Declaration** Signed on behalf of the charity trustees: Print name Designation Service Manager 31/10/2025 Date **5** Enter SC No. below APPENDIX 2 Enter charity name below **SC050446** ## **The Stephen Lyon Organisation** **----- Start of picture text -----**
