REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023



The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (effective 1 January 2019).


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objective of the charity is to promote the preservation of mental health and to assist in relieving and rehabilitating persons suffering from mental disorder or conditions of emotional or mental distress requiring advice or treatment.

Our aims are:
Staying well - Support people likely to develop mental health problems to stay well.
Empowering choice - Empower people who experience a mental health problem to make informed choices about how they live and recover.
Improving services and support - Ensure people get the right services and support at the right time to help their recovery and enable them to live with their mental health problem.
Enabling social participation - Open the doors to people with experience of mental health problems participating fully in society.
Removing inequality of opportunity - Gain equality of treatment for people who experience both mental health and other forms of discrimination.
Organisational excellence - Make the most of our assets by building a culture of excellence.

The charity is affiliated to Mind and operates in accordance with the aims and objectives of Mind.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Committee members consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Objectives for the year
To meet our overall objects of the charity, aims and objectives for each project are set annually and recorded in the 'Overarching Operational Policy and Plan'. We have robust mechanisms in place to illicit, record and analyse qualitative experience and quantitative data relating to each project. At the start, review and end stage various channels are used to gather data which include surveys, verbal feedback, forums and outcome measurement tools (a short version of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS)). Quarterly management reports demonstrate the outcomes of the project work and how these outcomes directly contribute to achieving the charitable objects and the public benefit as detailed in our strategic plan. Evaluation and analysis of findings are discussed with service users, within supervision, team and managers' meetings and reported in quarterly monitoring meetings with Trustees and Commissioners.

Strategies for the year
To achieve our goals, Thurrock and Brentwood Mind will work collaboratively with service users and carers, and multiple organisations, with a strong focus on prevention. To be able to identify people earlier within their community and enable them to access support in building resilience and self-care skills around their health and wellbeing, as well as promoting increased participation within their community.

Each project manager has targets to achieve in accordance with the contract funding agreement - these are aligned with our Operational Plan which details strategies for achieving our overall organisational aims and objectives.

THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05256793)



REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023



FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Introduction
The policy is written in the light of the Charity Commissioners' guidance "Charities' Reserves" (CC19, January 2016)

Reserves are defined as "income which becomes available to the charity and is to be expended at the trustees' discretion in the furtherance of any of the charity's objectives (sometimes referred to as "general purposes" income); but which is not yet spent, committed or designated (i.e. is "free")" (para. 11).

The definition of reserves therefore excludes: permanent endowment; expendable endowment; restricted funds; designated funds; and income funds which could only be realised by disposing of fixed assets held for charity use (para. 11).

The reserves policy should cover as a minimum:
- the reason why the charity needs reserves;
- what level (or range) of reserves the trustees believe the charity needs;
- what steps the charity is going to take to establish or maintain reserves at the agreed level (or range); and
- arrangements for monitoring and reviewing the policy (para. 36).

Why Thurrock and Brentwood Mind needs reserves
Maintenance of properties - Thurrock and Brentwood Mind owns three properties and has decided it needs to have £45k available for emergency repairs and renovations to these properties in order that it could continue the services run from those buildings.

Winding up the charity - Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has decided that, in the event of the organisation having to be wound up, it would need to have six months running costs estimated to be £369k in reserves to allow for a proper running down.

A source of service funding ceases - Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has decided that it is unnecessary to keep any reserves to allow for the continuation of any NHS or local authority funded services because should such funders decide to cease their funding without notice, it is the expectation that the relevant funder would ensure that they provide adequate funding to facilitate an orderly winding down or transfer of the service to minimise any disruption to the service users and avoid any adverse publicity.

Investment in properties - Thurrock And Brentwood Mind own properties that are integral to the services provided to people experiencing emotional or mental distress.

The investment in properties is to enable services to remain sustainable in the long term.

The Charity has commitments to long term mortgages and reserves have been designated to cover the historical cost carrying value less the outstanding mortgages.

The level of reserves the trustees believe Thurrock and Brentwood Mind needs as at 31 March 2023
As set out above, Thurrock and Brentwood Mind has decided it needs reserves of circa £975k made up of the Designated Properties Fund of £561k and General Fund of £414k.

The unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2023 of £1,560k is in excess of the targeted reserves of £975k.

Monitoring and reviewing the reserves policy
This policy and financial detail will be reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees.

Funds in deficit

Due to a transfer of unrestricted funds to restricted funds, no funds remain in deficit at the year end.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

Statement of Committee Members'/Directors' Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of Thurrock and Brentwood Mind for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the report of the Management Committee and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company, for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the Management Committee are required to:

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP);
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The Management Committee is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors
So far as the committee members/directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Goldwyns Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.


Approved by order of the board of trustees on 9 November 2023 and signed on its behalf by:




J Lyons - Trustee


REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND


Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Thurrock and Brentwood Mind (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the charitable company 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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.


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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.


Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-

the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-

the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND



Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

-

adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-

the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-

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 take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.


Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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 and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees 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 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.


Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.


In order to address the risks of misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud, we have:


-


obtained an understanding of the key laws and regulations applicable to the charitable company, including the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, and applicable taxation legislation;


-


assessed the charitable company's own internal controls and systems for the prevention and detection of irregularities and particularly the control environment within which they operate;


-


determined a materiality level and audit approach sufficient to identify most irregularities, including fraud, that may occur;


-


considered our own involvement in the preparation of the charitable company's statutory financial statements;


-


conducted audit verification work, on a sample basis, on the key audit areas and risks we have identified; and


-


reflected on the outcome of our work, and the likelihood that conclusions drawn may be indicative of other areas of potential irregularity.



We therefore consider our audit approach has been sufficient to detect material irregularities, including fraud.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.


REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

THURROCK AND BRENTWOOD MIND



Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of preparing the financial statements


The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.



The charity is limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the UK.



The place of business is at the registered office which can be located in the trustees' report.



Income


All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.



Expenditure


Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.



Intangible fixed assets

Amortisation is provided at the following annual rate in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer software- Straight line over 5 years


Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.



Freehold property

-  

Straight line over 15 years and Straight line over 50 years


Improvements to property

Fixtures and fittings

-  

50% on cost and 25% on cost

-

25% on cost


It is the charity's general policy to capitalise items costing over £250.


Taxation

HM Revenue and Customs have confirmed that the charity is exempt from Income and Corporation Taxes on its investment and trading income because of its charitable status and therefore no provision for taxation has been made in the financial statements.


Fund accounting

Restricted funds are grants and contracts awarded for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure that meets these specific purposes is matched against grant income and allocated over the appropriate cost centres.

Unrestricted funds comprise other income received or generated for charitable purposes but which may be spent at the discretion of the Management Team.

Designated funds are those unrestricted funds that have been earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
