ST HELENS MIND
All our services are based around the Social Inclusion Model. We encourage people who have become socially isolated due to the effects of mental illness to play a more active part within their local community. Currently we provide a Volunteer Befriending Service, Social Groups in all area of the borough, social activites, and an allotment. We operate in the Borough of St Helens.

The accounts state that St Helens Mind reported an in-year loss of £32,600 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total charitable funds from £78,662 to £46,062. Unrestricted reserves fell to £34,117, which the trustees note is above their stated contingency reserve policy target of £30,000-£35,000. The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, citing secured future funding and support from National Mind.
What the accounts disclose
“Trustees aim to maintain a contingency reserve of £30,000-£35,000 to protect service users against funding cuts” — page 13
“The board are in agreement that the organisation is a going concern. They recognise that the loss this year of £32.6k against a small contribution last year appears to contradict this. However, as an organisation, and with the support of National Mind, we have taken some significant steps to secure our future.” — page 4
