The Healthy Minds Board of trustees met on Wednesday evening, 21st February 2024, with seven trustees present, and Chief Officer, one Operations Manager, Business Sustainability Manager, and Admin Support (notes), also in attendance.
The main agenda included, as usual, a detailed report from the Chief Officer. The report to the Board on this occasion covered: recruitment; Like Minds funding application; Time Out update; Safespace expansion and funding position; Link update and funding opportunities; Community Health and Wellbeing exit planning; Welfare Rights renewed funding; Roshani renewed funding; Wellbeing Policy consultation; draft Calderdale VCSE Strategy. Other discussion items included our business plan 2024-25 – this will include our focus on the local (Calderdale) and core business (mental health and wellbeing), and an adjustment to our approach to new funding. The business plan for 2024-25 was complemented by our draft budget for 2024-25, and approval of Reserves upper and lower limits. The Board approved Pay Principles, as developed through the Development Sub Committee and Finance Sub Committee. These will be used to inform the Chief Officer’s recommendation to Board on pay, which are made on an annual basis for Board consideration, amendment and approval. The Board also agreed its Forward Plan for 2024-25, prioritised actions from the Board’s Essential Trustee self-assessment, and reports from the Development Sub Committee and Finance Sub Committee. The Board received and agreed recommendations regarding Safeguarding. The board thanks all staff and volunteers for all their work in providing a range of services to local people, across Calderdale.
