The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 30 June 2025

Principal activities of the company

Strategic Review of the Year Healthy Mind Games CIC has successfully navigated a pivotal year of transition. Our primary mission - combating social anxiety and isolation through the medium of tabletop gaming - continues to serve as a vital lifeline for vulnerable adults in the Rossendale area. As we move further away from the constraints of previous years, the importance of physical, face-to-face community spaces has never been more evident. Operational Impact and Community Value Throughout the 2024/25 period, the group has focused on: * Sustainability of Service: Maintaining regular gaming sessions following the full depletion of original startup grant funding. * Mental Health Resilience: Providing a consistent safe haven for members dealing with the long-term psychological effects of social withdrawal and financial stress. * Expanding the Library: Curating a selection of games specifically chosen to encourage collaboration and communication among participants with varying social confidence levels. Financial Sustainability and Professional Oversight * New Grant Funding: We are pleased to report that the company successfully re-engaged with external funding bodies this year. A Community Partnership Grant of £500 was received from Rossendale Borough Council. This grant has been instrumental in supporting our ongoing venue costs and session delivery for local residents. * Transition to New Funding: This award marks the first of several planned applications as the company moves into a new phase of financial planning following the utilization of prior-year reserves. * Accountancy and Compliance: The company’s financial health and statutory compliance continue to be safeguarded by FAD Projects Ltd. Their continued commitment to providing pro-bono accounts preparation and filing services has been vital. This partnership allows the CIC to remain operational and ensures the Companies House records are up to date, making the group 'bid-ready' for future opportunities. Governance The company remains under the directorship of Daniel Joseph Fahy. The directors wish to formally record their gratitude to both Rossendale Borough Council for their financial support and FAD Projects Ltd for their ongoing professional contribution. Future Objectives The focus for the upcoming 2025/26 period is to build on this momentum by: 1 Increasing the frequency of community gaming sessions. 2 Securing further small grants to enhance our resource library. 3 Formalising partnerships with local mental health practitioners.

Company activities and impact

Healthy Mind, Games CIC was established to address the growing crisis of social isolation and poor mental health among disadvantaged adults. By utilizing the structured nature of board games, we provide a "social bridge" for individuals who find traditional support groups or open-ended social settings overwhelming. Our goal is to transform passive isolation into active community participation. Addressing Social Anxiety and Isolation Social anxiety can be a paralyzing barrier to community engagement. Our sessions offer a unique solution: Structured Interaction: Board games provide a clear set of rules and a shared focus. This removes the "pressure to perform" in conversation, allowing participants to interact at their own pace. Inclusive Environments: We specifically target those who are "vulnerable and disadvantaged," ensuring that financial status or mental health history is never a barrier to entry. Routine and Reliability: By offering a consistent, safe space, we help members build a routine, which is a fundamental component of mental health recovery and stability. Cognitive and Emotional Benefits Beyond social connection, the activities supported by the Rossendale Borough Council grant and the pro-bono oversight of FAD Projects Ltd deliver tangible benefits: Cognitive Engagement: Gaming encourages strategy, memory, and problem-solving, which can boost self-esteem and mental agility. Confidence Building: Mastering a new game or teaching others promotes a sense of achievement and agency that members can carry into other areas of their lives. Emotional Resilience: Group play involves managing wins, losses, and teamwork, fostering emotional regulation in a safe, non-judgmental environment. Local Community Integration We act as a hub for social prescribing. By working within the local ecosystem of Lancashire, we provide a niche service that complements clinical mental health support. We turn the often-solitary experience of gaming into a collaborative community asset, reducing the long-term strain on local health services by improving the general well-being of our participants.

Consultation with stakeholders

Despite being a lean, volunteer-led organisation, Healthy Mind, Games CIC has seen a steady increase in participation through two primary grassroots channels: The "Word-of-Mouth" Effect: Our most powerful recruitment tool has been our existing members. By providing a genuinely safe space for those with social anxiety, we have built a high level of trust. This "peer-to-peer" advocacy has allowed us to reach the most isolated individuals who may be skeptical of traditional services but are willing to join a friend or neighbour for a game. Digital Presence: Our Facebook engagement strategy focuses on transparency and invitation. By sharing photos of sessions and new game arrivals, we demystify the experience for potential newcomers, allowing them to "see" the environment before they step through the door. Benefit to Stakeholders: The Ramsbottom Community & Beyond While rooted in Rossendale, our impact extends deeply into the Ramsbottom community and the wider Bury and Lancashire border area. Our stakeholders benefit in the following ways: For Residents: We provide a vital third-space (not home, not work) that is affordable and accessible, reducing the burden of loneliness in the local area. For Local Authorities: By proactively supporting mental health through "social gaming," we help reduce the demand on primary care services and social prescribing units within the borough. For Professional Partners: The support from FAD Projects Ltd and the Rossendale Borough Council is converted directly into social capital, strengthening the local voluntary sector's reputation for innovation. Future Community Integration As we grow, we remain committed to ensuring that our expansion is sustainable. By continuing to leverage local social media groups and community noticeboards, we aim to ensure that every disadvantaged person in Ramsbottom and the surrounding valleys knows there is a seat at the table waiting for them.
