REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024



The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024.

The legal and administrative information forms part of this report.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts
and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and
“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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of Black Country Mental Health are 'to promote the preservation and maintenance of good mental health as well as assisting with the recovery of and providing support for those people experiencing emotional or mental distress in the Black Country (The Metropolitan Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell Walsall and Wolverhampton) and such other areas from time to time determined by the Board of Management'.
Black Country Mental Health may from time to time seek grants and loans to finance capital purchases and fund specific activities, accept donations, sponsorship fees, subscriptions, legacies and bequests.

Organisational Management
This is delegated to the Chief Executive who reports to the board of trustees at each meeting. From time to time the Chief Executive may send out briefings to the trustees to keep them informed of current development.

The Team
The team at BCMH consists of a small number of paid part time staff and a large group of volunteers who help to deliver and support the services being operated. Being one team is extremely important to BCMH as each member is valued for their individual and collective input.


BLACK COUNTRY MENTAL HEALTH (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02533622)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

In order to achieve its objectives Black Country Mental Health's activities and who it benefits may be categorised as follows;

Recovery Activities: A drop in facility is available on Sundays which allows for social interaction as well as the opportunity to be supported with issues which might be impeding recovery. We have continued to support the Grand Theatre by taking part in producing art and craft for their pantomime production. We have provided sessions at some of the refuges in the borough to aid the residents with their recovery. We continue to work with a large number of people who are working and finding work hard to manage.

Peer Mentoring/Self Help groups: Have taken place throughout the past financial year facilitated by staff and volunteers. These groups offer mutual support and the sharing of coping strategies in a confidential safe environment. People are able to attend as and when they feel they need the support. The female trauma group has continued to provide support as well as allowing the participants to develop social networks and keep in touch with staff and each other outside of the group through a chatroom. During this financial year we have changed the group in Sandwell at one of the foodbanks to a drop in service.

Workplace Wellbeing: We have continued to deliver training in the form of the Mental Health First Aid as well as general mental health awareness to a number of organisations and individuals. We are also working with some companies to promote mental health support by being available at their workplace for staff to access. In particular we have been working with Hill and Smith over the past two years by having a presence at four of their companies, three in person and one remotely. During the year we have continued to support JJX Logistics.

Growing In The Park Horticultural Project: This project is now completely managed and operated by volunteers. It continues to be a source of support to manage mental health by giving the volunteers the opportunity to be in the open air in a tranquil setting and also to have some social support with each other. This project is situated in the Walled Garden at Stevens Park, Wollescote and has been supported by DWP staff volunteering on occasion and also other companies. The greenhouses have allowed us to grow seeds and plants for sale at local events and also at the project.

Jolly Joggers - Couch to 5k: This remains a popular activity which is conducted over a 12 week period with qualified and experienced volunteers in West Park, Wolverhampton. The programme combines the benefits of physical exercise with our mental wellbeing and being in the open air has an impact directly on this. At the end of the programme everyone takes part in Park Run which is the 5k element.

Bereavement and Grief Counselling: This service continues to be beneficial to a large number of individuals. Despite not being funded directly to provide this BCMH continue to accept people either by self referral or through Talking Therapies although there has not been any formal contact from them to do this. We have found that GPs and other NHS services are giving our number out. Cruse have not been taking some work so the bulk of this has fallen on BCMH,

Schools and Colleges: During the year we have promoted the Wellbeing Warriors training for pupils from year 4 at Brockmore Primary School.. This has enabled pupils to work in liaison with teaching staff to support their peers when they are feeling anxious or upset. We are continuing to seek funding to further deliver this course as the benefits are able to be seen in the way pupils manage their emotional wellbeing in Primary School but also when they transition to High School.

Support Line: We continue to offer reduced times for this. Calls are significantly reduced, however we are receiving more calls on the office telephone number out of hours now. Despite other services being in place we still have a lot of people who have been given our telephone number by paramedics, the Police, 111 and GPs.

Telephone Support: We continue to provide support through weekly calls to some people who need this. This has been taking place since Covid and there is still a great need for this. These calls have sometime brought up other issues which our volunteers have been able to work with the person towards a resolution.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Sources of funding:
During the year, the main sources of funding were derived from delivering training , donations and fundraising together with support from a number of local companies.

Premises:
The charity continues to operate from the building on the Bushey Fields Hospital site has enabled more people to be able to travel to us as the public transport situation is much easier from the other areas of the Black Country thus allowing a better service to be provided whilst also enhancing opportunities to develop income streams. The move is hoped to improve our contacts and liaison with the NHS Trust and other Mental Health statutory providers. In the later part of the financial period BCMH took part in a pilot to offer 'Getting Help' to children and young people through Black Country CAMHS.

Designated funds:
In 2023/2024 the designated fund was reviewed and it was decided that a more accurate figure for designated
reserves was £49,000 (2023: £49,000).

Reserves:
The Trustees hold the view that a minimum of six months' salaries and operating overheads should be maintained so that any reduction in funding brought about by political change or otherwise would not have an immediate effect on the services of the charity. Under this policy and taking into account redundancy and termination costs in 2023/24 we will require a level of reserves of approximately £49,000 whilst the actual level of unrestricted reserves is £112,369.

Transactions and financial position:
The Statement of Financial Activities shows income for the year of £68,199, expenditure of £89,345 resulting in a deficit of £21,146. The balance of the accumulated fund stands at £159,795 in total consisting of £49,000 designated funds, £63,369 general unrestricted funds and £47,426 restricted funds.Trustees maintained their intention to reduce any operating deficit through the strategy of growing services and income.

Investment:
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, Black Country Mental Health has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit. To maximize the investment opportunity on monies held in Black Country Mental Health's bank accounts a fixed interest account has been operating throughout the year with Handelsbanken through a 35-day notice account. This arrangement ensures the highest level of interest reconcilable with ease of access to funds is achieved which is monitored monthly.

Risk management:
The Board has instituted and maintains a Charity Risk Assessment of the major strategic and operational risks that they face, identifying risk factors, their likelihood and impact, and control procedures to limit risk. The assessment is reviewed and updated as necessary annually by the Board. Risk management is an on-going process and particular attention is paid to those few aspects that are identified as having a higher likelihood and/or impact. Operational Risk is managed using our risk assessment and risk management tools as well as our Health and Safety documentation which is regularly reviewed by the Board. All serious incidents are reported periodically to the Board.

Plans for the future:
The Board recognises that diversification of income is imperative and some progress has been made in this area. Increased effort in promoting mental health training to both the public and private sectors has begun to show reward and our name is now more widely recognised in this area. We are proud to have been adopted by several local companies as their charity partner and this has led to further enquiries for training. Interest is being shown in supporting the charity from various sectors as mental health becomes more openly discussed. There is no doubt that the future continues to be challenging, but there are encouraging signs that the efforts being made by all involved with Black Country Mental Health are now showing returns.
Then work with Black Country CAMHS supporting children and young people with their parents will continue into the new financial year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Black Country Mental Health is a charitable company limited by guarantee. When incorporated as Dudley Mind in
1990, it took over the functions, properties and liabilities of a charity registered in 1976, known as the Dudley
Association for Mental Health. Black Country Mental Health is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of
Association as revised in 1997.

Board of Management ("The Board")

Mr K Parsons
Mr D Tyler

All retiring members shall be eligible for re-election subject to certain provisons as set out in Rule 43 a) & b) of the Articles of Association.

In the appointment of members, the Board is very mindful of the need to maintain a broad cross section of professional skills and life experience relevant to its duties and obligations. Induction and training of new members is based on individual needs but will always include familiarization with Black Country Mental Health's activities. Prior to appointment on the vote of board members, all potential new members are required to meet the Chair, Vice-Chair and/or Chief Executive to establish that there are no disqualifying conditions, that there is a genuine desire to help and contribute to the organisation and that the obligations and "duty of care" of a director and trustee are fully understood and accepted.

Organizational structure and related parties:
Management of the day-to-day operational duties, service provision, staff management is delegated to the Chief
Executive. The freedom to act allowed by this delegation may be circumscribed in some areas, for example the
company has prescribed financial regulations governing spending limits.

Staffing:
Staff continues to be both the organization's greatest asset and its greatest expense. They have continued to show great dedication to their work in improving mental health despite an uncertain funding climate. All staff members receive support from their line manager. Training is provided as identified for specific job roles including data protection (GDPR).

BLACK COUNTRY MENTAL HEALTH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


1. 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.

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.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution , the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

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.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

The trustees have adopted a policy whereby fixed assets costing less than £500 are not capitalised.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings Over the term of the lease
Leasehold property improvements 10% p.a. straight line basis
Fixtures, fittings & equipment 12.5% p.a. straight line basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
