TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Chair's introduction

It is with both sadness and pride that I present this year's report. We mourn the loss of our longstanding Patron, Patrick Michael "Rick" O'Shea, who passed away in July 2025 whilst pursuing one of his many passions. Rick was a kind and generous man whose values fitted perfectly with Careif's ethos, and his passionate support for our work will be greatly missed. Our condolences go out to his family.

Despite this loss, Careif has continued to grow and develop its work across the world. This year has seen us deepen our international partnerships, particularly in Pakistan, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Senegal, whilst also expanding our UK-based training programmes. We have published a major new book on social justice and mental health, launched new collaborative projects, and been honoured by the recognition given to our trustees and patrons for their contributions to mental health.  

All of this work has been achieved through the dedication of our trustees and associates, working voluntarily to support people and communities across the world to share their knowledge to improve services and change lives. The activities detailed in this report demonstrate our continuing commitment to ensuring that knowledge and understanding about mental health is available to all, regardless of geography or income.

Trustees' report 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025. 

In this Report, references to Careif, the Company and the Charity are to Careif. The Directors of Careif are Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the Charity’s articles of association, they comprise the Board of Trustees and are referred to as Trustees.

The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity’s governing document, and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102, second edition October 2019, effective January 2019). 
 

Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
 

Objectives and activities
 

a. Policies and objectives
 

Careif is an international mental health charity that works towards increasing awareness of mental health conditions and the mental health of everyone across all countries and cultures. Its charitable object is to preserve and protect good mental health, in particular but not exclusively by:

a) conducting study and research for the public benefit and publishing and disseminating the useful results; and

b) increasing awareness of mental health in its local, national and global context amongst health professionals, service providers and the public

Objectives and activities (continued)

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty set out in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission when making decisions in the day-to-day running of the Charity.

The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the Charity meet the public benefit requirement and that the Charity’s activities are in support of those aims.
 

b. Strategies for achieving objectives
 

The Charity is dedicated to supporting people and communities across the world to share their knowledge to improve services and change lives. 

It focuses on training, learning and the dissemination of information, believing that knowledge and understanding are essential in the journey to improve conditions for those with mental ill-health and to improve mental health and wellbeing. 

The Charity holds that knowledge should not only be available to those with wealth or who live in high-income countries and in the urban and industrialised parts of the world but should be shared with all, recognising that knowledge gleaned from low- and middle-income countries and the less developed, rural, and poorer countries of the world is equally valuable learning to that from the wealthier parts of the world.

To these ends, the Charity is committed to:

• respect the traditions and values of individual societies and cultures around the world

• encourage people to work together, share their experiences and inspire others

• bring together individuals, communities, non-governmental bodies and other interested government organisations to achieve change

• use the best available evidence of what works based on research, evaluation and practice-based knowledge

• promote positive changes for individuals and organisations, and facilitate the creation of good quality care
 

c. Equality and diversity
 

The Charity is fully committed to equality and diversity, believing that diversity is about the recognition and valuing of difference in the broadest sense and recognising that people with different backgrounds, skills, cultures, and experiences bring fresh ideas and perceptions that benefit the organisation and all its stakeholders.

Achievements and performance
 

a. Key performance indicators
 

The total incoming resources for the year were £2,656 (2024: £10,121), while total resources expended were £5,780 (2024: £6,924), leaving net outgoing resources of £3,124 (2024: net incoming resources of £3,197). In financial terms, therefore, this has again been a relatively quiet year for Careif. However, this does not reflect a lack of activity as several important projects and initiatives were in train.
 

b. Review of activities
 

The year has been one of significant expansion and development for Careif, with activities spanning multiple countries and encompassing training, publication, and capacity building.

Publication of Social Justice, Social Discrimination and Mental Health

In January 2025, Careif published Social Justice, Social Discrimination and Mental Health: Theory, Practice and Professional Issues, edited by Professor Dinesh Bhugra and Professor Rachel Tribe. All royalties from sales of the book go to Careif. The book represents a major contribution to the field, has received some excellent reviews, and has formed the basis for subsequent training workshops.

Partnership with Fountain House, Lahore

Following the announcement in July 2024 of our partnership with Fountain House in Lahore, Pakistan, significant progress has been made during the year. This pioneering community psychiatric service collaboration has focused on information transfer and capacity building. The partnership has been led by our trustee, Professor Afzal Javed, whose contribution to mental health care was recognised in June 2025 when he received an OBE in the King's Birthday Honours. 

Training programmes

Throughout the year, Careif has continued to deliver training jointly with the British Psychological Society (BPS), the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI) and the Association of Community Interpreters (ACIS) for clinicians working with interpreters in mental health settings. These sessions covered best practice, duty of care to interpreters, the legal context, idioms of distress, and explanatory health beliefs. Feedback continued to show increased skill levels and confidence among both interpreters and clinicians.

International activities

Careif's international work expanded significantly during the year:

Sri Lanka: Continued work with Samutthana mental health resource centre and universities, building on previous year's workshops and running new ones. Our work with faith leaders also continues. 

Kenya: Ongoing collaboration with Rafiki Foster Care following initial life skills programmes

Senegal: In October 2024, Careif commenced a new partnership with WASSOR, an organisation based in Senegal, collaborating on training programmes

Achievements and performance (continued)


Geopsychiatry

In September 2024, two Careif trustees presented at 'The Global Mindscape: Integrating Geopsychiatry Perspectives Across Continents' symposium organised by the International Institute for Geopsychiatry. 

Careif continued to be prominently featured in this emerging field focusing on the interface between geopolitical events and psychiatry, and Careif’s Patron, Professor Dinesh Bhugra, is Founding President of the International Institute for Geopsychiatry and three of our trustees, Professors Rachel Tribe and Afzal Javed, and Dr Jed Boardman, are Senior Fellows of the Institute.

Other activities

Professor Rachel Tribe delivered lectures on community psychology to Italian psychologists as part of their training at Gruppo Italiano Tecniche di Imagerie Mentale (GITIM) in August 2024.

In June 2024, Professor Tribe chaired a panel for World Refugee Day organised by Veronica Franklin Gould, President of Arts for Dementia.

Professor Tribe participated as a keynote speaker and panel member at the 2025 International Council of Psychologists conference.

Professor Afzal Javed, in collaboration with the University of Thessaloniki, co-organised a webinar examining intersections between climate change and mental health in October 2024.

Recognition of Careif's work and supporters

In August 2025, our Patron Professor Dinesh Bhugra CBE was awarded the Yves Pelicier Prize by the World Association of Social Psychiatry.

Professor Rachel Tribe was awarded the Distinguished Contribution to Professional Practice by the British Psychological Society in June 2025.  

In November 2024, trustees and associates attended the launch of Journey to the Centre of the Self, co-authored by Professor Bhugra.

ATTUNE project

Careif continued its involvement in the year with the ATTUNE project, which used creative arts methodologies to explore mechanisms behind poor adolescent mental health, including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The project which was funded by the Medical Research Council under the Adolescence, Mental Health and the Developing Mind Programme ran from September 2021 to August 2025.

Achievements and performance (continued)

 

Financial Review
 

a. Income and Expenditure
 

The Charity has made a deficit of £3,124 for the year (2024: surplus £3,197) split between unrestricted funds and restricted funds.

Total income for the year ended 30 April 2025 is £2,656 (2024 : £10,121).

Grants, donations and legacies of £496 (2024 : £8,324) 

Total expenditure for the year is £5,780 (2024: £6,924). This has been closely monitored throughout the year, with the ongoing control of overheads.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet remains strong with cash holdings of £94,849.
 

b. Going concern
 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
 

c. Reserves policy
 

Restricted funds received for specific projects or purposes that are not available for general use stand at £74,113 (2024: £72,663) at year end.

At the end of the year free unrestricted reserves amounted to £19,929 (2024: £24,503).

The Board is currently reviewing the Charity’s reserves policy, to ensure that the Charity maintains unrestricted funds at an appropriate level, both to protect the Charity against any potential crisis or adversity and to allow it to take advantage of new opportunities. As a result the Charity’s free unrestricted reserves are higher than expected.
 

d. Principal risks and uncertainties
 

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for the management of risk.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Company, and to the best of their knowledge are satisfied that appropriate systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The Board of Trustees consider the potential greatest area of risk is the uncertainty of funding, and ensuring that the Charity develops varied and sustainable income streams.

Financial Review (continued)

e. Fundraising
 

In accordance with the Charities Act 2011, as amended in 2016, the Charity endeavours to adhere to the Code of Fundraising Practice governed by the Fundraising Regulator, and all relevant guidance published by the Chartered Institute of Fundraising including treating donors fairly. 

The Charity did not receive any complaints in relations to fundraising in the year. 

The Charity wishes to take this opportunity to thank all its funders, including its patrons and individuals who have donated to the Charity, for their invaluable support. 
 

Structure, governance and management
 

a. Constitution and governing documents
 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales on 30 April 2007 under number 06231733. Its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It was registered as a Charity on 26 October 2007.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and strategy of Careif. The articles of association allow for between 3 and 17 Trustees who have the legal responsibility for the activities of Careif. 

The Board of Trustees meets not less than every two months.
 

b. Trustees and methods of appointment or election of Trustees
 

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the Charity. All the Trustees are members of the Charity and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of winding up.

The Articles of Association provide for Trustees to be appointed to serve for a period of three years. A Trustee may be re-appointed for further three year terms. There is no maximum period a Trustee may serve.

In appointing Trustees, the Charity takes into account the nature of its work, the requirements of its beneficiaries, and seeks to ensure an effective mix of experience and skills on the Board. There is at present no formal application process. 

The Charity takes steps to ensure that all Trustees are familiar with the activities of the Charity and new Trustees are expected to undertake an induction process that covers:

• their obligations as both Trustees and members;

• the operational framework for the Charity;

• resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts; 

• the Charity’s future plans and objectives.

Structure, governance and management (continued)

c. Related party relationships
 

None of the Trustees receives remuneration or other benefit from their work with the Charity. Any links with potential related parties must be identified and disclosed to the Board of Trustees and this is reviewed on a regular basis. Declarations of interest are also disclosed and recorded. A register is maintained of all related parties to monitor for any associated risks or conflicts of interest that may arise. 

All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee received remuneration in the year. 

No expenses were paid to the trustees in the year.
 

d. Investment
 

The Charity has no specific investment powers. Any surplus funds in addition to the funds required for the day-to-day requirements of the Charity are put on deposit with the Charity’s bankers to maximise receivable interest.
 

Plans for future periods
 

Careif's plans include:

Book launch and dissemination

Careif’s formal launch of Social Justice, Social Discrimination and Mental Health took place in October 2025 at the mental health film festival Unspoken. Careif’s intention is to ontinue to use the book as a basis for workshops and training. In August 2025, Ben Amponsah and Rachel Tribe conducted a workshop based on the book at the British Psychological Society's Division of Counselling Psychology Conference 2025.

Expansion of Pakistan collaboration

Building on the successful partnership with Fountain House, Lahore, further developments are planned including:

- delivery of trauma-informed care training (a workshop titled 'Understanding Trauma and Working in a Trauma-Informed Way' was delivered online in August 2025 by Dr Mariam Bhaila, our newly appointed Associate, supported by Professor Rachel Tribe)

- suicide prevention training (the first steps towards a suicide prevention model were taken in July 2025 when 30 participants received online training).

Celebration of Dr Suman Fernando's legacy

In September 2025, Careif supported an event celebrating the life and legacy of Dr Suman Fernando, who died earlier in the year aged 92. Dr Fernando had an international reputation in critical psychiatry, particularly relating to race equity in mental health. Over 20 international speakers contributed to this event. 

Partnership with Unspoken Film Festival

In September 2025, Careif became an official partner of Unspoken - a mental health film festival which screened films in London throughout October 2025. Unspoken was organised by the charity Tongues on Fire, who produce the annual UK Asian Film Festival, with support from Careif and from the Psychiatry Research Trust (PRT), a charity dedicated to research and education in mental health.

The Health Needs of the Indo-Caribbean Community in the United Kingdom

Careif's scoping review of the mental health of Indo-Caribbeans in the United Kingdom has been published and is already attracting favourable attention.

Plans for future periods (continued)

Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Company apportioned to charitable activities.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

  
2.5

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

 
2.6

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. 

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.8

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.


2.9

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

  
2.10

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.


3.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments 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.

No judgements have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had any significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements, except for those detailed in the above accounting policies.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
