Structure, governance and management
The Charity was established on 24 January 1992 by incorporation as a company limited by guarantee and registered as a Charity in February 1992. Consequently, the governing instrument of the Charity is its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
Recruitment and appointment of Trustees
The Directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as Members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. One third of the membership shall retire annually but shall be eligible for re-election at the AGM.

Prospective Trustees meet the Chair and CEO and provide a CV and cover letter before being invited to attend a Trustee meeting, and, if mutually agreed, go forward for appointment. Trustees are encouraged to attend online and/or local training days on ‘Roles and Responsibilities of Trustees’ and other relevant workshops. Trustees are issued with guidelines about the role of Trustees and governance documents in the form of a ‘Welcome Pack’ which has been developed by Trustees.
Governance structure
The Harbour has a Management Committee of Trustees who are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The Committee typically has between six and eight members and the Chief Executive attends each meeting. There are three sub-committees with delegated responsibilities for monitoring and oversight of Finance and HR, Income Generation and Clinical delivery. Day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the services rests with the Chief Executive, supported by the Clinical Lead.
Trustees statement on public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Harbour delivers public benefit both directly to our clients and to the wider community through supporting people in their grief, regardless of financial circumstances.

Objectives and activities of our charity
The Harbour is a small charity with a huge vision - that everyone has access to the crucial emotional support needed when they are facing death and navigating grief. Since 1992 we have offered specialist counselling to help people live well with grief.
Who we support
We support people in Bristol and the surrounding areas who are aged 18 and over who fall into one or more of the following categories:
-
Have a serious or life-threatening illness
-
Are close to and / or care for someone who has a life-threatening illness
-
Have been bereaved by an illness (within the past 2 years)
In the financial year 2023-2024, we worked with 180 people and offered 1251 counselling sessions and assessments.
Our service
At The Harbour, our focus is on providing in-depth therapy for people affected by death, dying and bereavement. Our work helps individuals, couples, and groups to navigate the complex emotions and challenges associated with death, dying, and bereavement.
The Harbour is an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). We have a psychodynamic foundation and our sessions allow clients the time and space for deep exploration of their feelings, helping them to process their response to grief and think about how their current situation affects and relates to other aspects of their life.
We offer individual, couples and group therapy. Most of our sessions (77%) are delivered face to face from our premises in Bristol city centre where we have dedicated, comfortable and welcoming therapy rooms. We also offer the option of telephone sessions and zoom sessions online sessions. This makes it possible for those people who are no longer well enough to travel or who have care responsibilities to still access our support.
Individual Therapy
Death, dying, and bereavement are universal experiences, but for some they can have a devastating effect on mental health and, in the case of our clients, require specialist intervention. When given the space to talk freely about the feelings evoked by their own or their loved one’s illness or death, our clients are able to gain new insight, develop ways of managing the emotional pressures they face, and so reduce the levels of depression and anxiety they are experiencing.
We typically offer clients 16 weeks of Individual Therapy, the sessions last for 50 minutes and are at the same time, on the same day, each week to create a stable and holding space within which clients can explore their feelings.

Couples Therapy
Couples who seek our service most often do so when one of them has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Others may both be close to someone who is dying or may have recently been bereaved, for example parents who are facing the death of a child. We know that couples can draw enormous support from one another at difficult times, but it can be a huge challenge to know how to do this. Illness may require different ways of being with one another, and the roles they have become accustomed to taking in the relationship can change. Couples Therapy gives them an opportunity to explore how the situation is affecting them individually, as well as how it is affecting their dynamic as a couple and helping to find ways to cope and to strengthen the relationship.
We typically offer couples 16 weeks of Couples Therapy, the sessions last for 50 minutes and are at the same time, on the same day, each week.
Group Therapy
Group Therapy gives people the opportunity to communicate their experience of facing death or dealing with bereavement with others. Grief can be very lonely and for many people, it is difficult to talk to friends and family, mainly because of the fear of being a burden or that others will not understand. Participating in a safe, confidential group environment based on mutual respect can reduce feelings of isolation following a bereavement.
We host two core group sessions: the ‘Bereavement Group’ and the ‘Living-With Group’ which meet for 1.5 hours every fortnight. These groups provide extended, ongoing support, with participants encouraged to attend for a minimum of 9 months and up to 2 years, depending on their needs and well-being. Additionally, we offer tailored, ad-hoc group sessions to address specific needs, such as when a member of a community passes away. These sessions bring together those who knew and cared for the individual, providing a supportive space for collective healing and processing.
Our team
The Harbour is led by Xanthe Swift, who became CEO in May 2024 following Natasha Davies' departure at the end of April 2024. She is supported by a team of clinical, operations and fundraising staff.
Clinical management is overseen by Christina Saltmarsh, who joined in 2023. The clinical team consists of qualified Individual Therapists and a Group Analyst, all of whom are accredited by UKCP or BACP and maintain membership with the relevant regulatory bodies. The Harbour also offers placements for up to six trainee therapists who are in the advanced stages of their training.

Safeguarding
Safeguarding and risk management are integral to The Harbour and is considered at every stage of a client’s journey and in all areas of service delivery including safer recruitment.
Our Clinical Lead is our Designated Safeguarding Lead. We review our policies, procedures, and training to ensure they are in line with current best practice and that everyone at The Harbour is clear about their role and responsibilities with regard to safeguarding and managing risk. We maintain an organisational culture that priorities safeguarding, and we encourage all staff to attend fortnightly complex case meetings where safeguarding and risk are a prominent part of the discussion.
For clients who are at higher risk, or if a concern becomes apparent during therapy, we seek their permission to speak with their GP and any other relevant bodies. For any clients who are under the care of the secondary mental health team, we liaise with their case worker to ensure that there is holistic care.
What impact does our work have?
We are proud of the impact that we have on our clients’ lives. 92% of clients felt they were ‘much better’ or ‘a little better’ at dealing with their problems after their sessions with us. Only 4% rated their emotional wellbeing ‘good’ before counselling, compared to 60% who rated their emotional well-being ‘good’ or ‘very good’ after counselling. 100% rated their relationship with their counsellor as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ and 94% were ‘very satisfied’ with the service.
Client quotes
“I understand it is not just the person diagnosed with cancer suffering it also has a tsunami effect on the family members too. The space allows me to express my darkest fears, which alleviates much of the weight, pain, and my reluctance to look at death. I can’t imagine what I would do without the sessions.”
“It has been transformative, I almost don't recognise the me at the start to the me at the end of these sessions. I have learnt so much about myself in these sessions and this has been to the benefit of those around me.”
“I asked for an emotional focus. I got that and much more – as we worked on addressing my previous losses too. I am now able to focus on myself and take care of myself instead of the focus being on my husband’s cancer. I am much better at dealing with my problems.”
“You really listened to what I was going through. You made me feel very comfortable and I truly believe I am now on the right track to moving forward with my life”

Financial review
Income for the year is shown as £212,501 which is a small decrease compared to the previous year’s total of £242,221. Expenditure increased from £227,706 in 2022/23 to £250,634. This left a deficit for the year of £38,133, compared with a surplus in the previous year of £14,515. Total unrestricted funds for the year decreased from £120,198 in 2022/23 to £78,185. Total funds carried forward are £108,685 compared to £146,818 in 2022/23.
Policies on reserves
The management committee has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (“the free reserves”) held by the charity should be between three and six months of the resources expended, which equates to a minimum reserves level of £63,000. Current reserves sit at £78,185. This is just over 3 months of our resources expended.
Responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1 Basis of Preparation
- a) These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
-
b) The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
-
c) The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 and has therefore taken the advantage of the disclosure exemption available to it in relation to presentation of a cash flow statement.
2 Accounting Policies
- a) Incoming - Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows:
i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.
ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-condition have been met.
-
b) Expenditure & liabilities - are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
-
c) Operating leases - Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities incurred over the term of the lease.
-
d) Financial Instruments - The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
-
e) Pension Scheme - The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
-
f) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation - Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets at rates calculated to write off the costs, less estimated residual value of each asset, over its expected useful life as follows:
Fixtures, Fittings and equipment 3 Years Straight Line Leasehold property improvements Over the life of the lease
Items with an indvidual cost of over £1,000 will be treated as fixed assets.
