**Report of the trustees For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

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) (second edition - October 2019) - (Charity SORP (FRS 102) Revised). 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Policies and objectives 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, and to the objects of the charity which are: 

_1. To provide relief for women who are suffering from mental health problems by means of therapeutic services;_ 

_2. To educate the general public on the subject of mental health ._ 

The charity has the general aim of improving the mental health of deprived and marginalised women by providing free individual counselling, group therapy and community wellbeing activities. 

During this financial year, the Maya Centre began to implement our new Strategic Plan 2020 – 2025: Playing our Part in Developing a Safer, Healthier Community. This includes 4 key priorities: 

**1.** To grow our services, thoughtfully, to meet the increasing issues of gender-based violence which seriously affect the diverse women who come to us. 

**2** . To broaden our income sources so we can offer our expertise to more women, from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and to do so effectively and cost efficiently. 

**3.** To increase the visibility of the challenges our clients face and the benefits they can gain from our services, supporting their voices to be heard more widely. 

**4.** To amplify the impact of our work in support of our whole team, therapists, staff, students, volunteers and academic partners as a learning organisation, to evaluate the impact of our holistic approach and create resources to share the approach more widely. 

## **Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit** 

The Trustees are aware that section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to demonstrate that their work is of direct benefit to the public. When planning the Maya Centre's activities each year, the Trustees take due regard of the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

**Report of the trustees (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Review of activities** 

All our activities are in line with our vision and mission. 

## **Vision** 

Our vision is to increase wellbeing and enhance resilience in women who have experienced mental health issues which may stem from trauma and gender-based violence including domestic violence, physical abuse or sexual abuse in childhood, including harmful traditional practices, and experiences of war, conflict and migration. 

## **Mission** 

We support and enable women towards: 

**Recovery** : reduced impact of trauma and greater ability to enjoy life and plan for the future. 

**Resilience:** reduced isolation, increased willingness to talk about and report abuse; increased sense of selfworth and self-esteem. 

**Prevention:** reduced risk to self and others, changed patterns of behaviour and reduced likelihood of remaining in or re-entering abusive relationships. 

**Wider community:** improved relationships with children and family, and more engaged in community activities, education, training and employment. 

## **Our work in 2020-21** 

The Maya Centre specialises in trauma-informed counselling, which is psychodynamic in origin, with the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs of diverse women seeking our services so that we are as inclusive and accessible as possible. 

Central to this is our use of community languages and targeted services so that women who attend The Maya Centre see themselves represented and can be confident in receiving support which is relevant to their cultural background or identity. Our core offer of 1-2-1 specialist counselling continues to flourish via a team of 14 trained and experienced therapists, all of whom are BACP registered. Our Black Women’s Group and Irish Women’s Project have been further added to in 2021 by new pilots with Hibiscus Initiatives (trafficked women) and an online workshop with the Islington Bangladeshi Association’s Women’s Project in support of women’s wellbeing. 

More broadly than this, we have continued to reflect on intercultural and intersectional approaches which highlight the many barriers' women face to good mental health: poverty, racism, discrimination, language barriers, displacement and isolation, any of which make women more likely to experience violence, exploitation or abuse; and many of which are experienced in just one woman presenting for treatment. Our work, to reach out and identify more ‘hidden’ women, and to provide a place of sanctuary and recuperation amid multiple barriers, has never been more needed, a fact which was brought into sharp relief by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Our work for the period April 2020-March 2021 focused on the impact of Covid-19, which brought about a national rise in domestic and sexual violence, with increased risk and isolation for women from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and an overall increase of 20.3% in referrals to our services from the previous year. 

In response to the crisis and in keeping with Government guidelines, we had already moved our counselling service to telephone and live video sessions in March 2020, and this situation persisted throughout the year, including two national lockdowns which led to sustained home working for the entire workforce.

**Report of the trustees (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Achievements and performance (continued)** 

• The Richard Cloudesley Legacy Fund, in place since 2018/19, provided us with counsellors already confident in the use of remote telephone and online therapy, enabling us to transfer 75% of our client base to remote sessions within one month, increasing to 84% during the year. This funding ended in March 2021 with a report commissioned from Healthwatch Islington, which found that the online/ remote service was particularly helpful for women with mobility issues, caring responsibilities, agoraphobia, or for whom counselling was new and potentially less intimidating when offered remotely. 

• Additional Covid-19 funding from a variety of sources including the National Lottery Community Fund, Lloyds React Fund, London Community Funders, Richard Cloudesley, Leathersellers, Peter Stebbings, Bupa and Cripplegate enabled us to purchase and secure laptops for remote delivery, increase time for management, administration and finance, and move our database fully online so that we could continue to offer efficient and high-quality counselling services. 

• This additional funding also helped us to fund bespoke training for our therapists on self-care and trauma-informed practice and increase their clinical supervision hours in order to mitigate against the effects of vicarious trauma and burnout. 

Our focus on minoritised women at risk during Covid-19 enabled us to secure new funding to expand on our work specialising in Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). During the period March 2020-April 2021 we were successful in doubling our contract with Central/ North London CCG and Islington Council under the Accept Consortium with a focus on domestic abuse and childhood sexual abuse (CSA). We also secured three-year funding from City Bridge Trust for counselling women from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities with experience of gender-based violence. We succeeded in securing two-year core funding from the Lloyds Bank Foundation in order to develop our charity to better meet the needs of women who have experienced sexual violence. 

We continued to receive funding from the Cripplegate Foundation, the Embassy of Ireland London, Richard Cloudesley, Leathersellers Foundation, Tampon Tax, Mayors Office for Policing and Crime (MoPAC), Tracey Emin & Deutsche Bank and Two Magpies. During this year we also saw an increase of 23% in regular and one-off donations from private individual supporters, with particular interest around key calendar dates including World Mental Health Day (October 2020) and International Women’s Day (March 2021). 

We successfully renewed our external accreditation from the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy for our counselling service, demonstrating to clients, commissioners and funders that they can have confidence in the professionalism of the Centre and its staff. 

## **Our Clients** 

For the period April 2020 to March 2021, we received 396 referrals and applications for counselling with 63.5% of the referrals from women from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic communities, 24.5% White British and 4.8% Other. The full demographic data is in Table 2, page 6. From the total of referrals received, 124 were closed at application, did not attend during the assessment process or were deemed not suitable for our services following an assessment. 165 women progressed to 1-2-1 counselling and 107 women remained in assessment or on our waiting list at the end of the period. Our data analysis showed that the rate of unplanned endings was much higher for agency referrals (65%) than for selfreferrals (35%). Unplanned ending decreased overall from 17% in the previous year to 13.7 % at the end of this period. 

## **Monitoring and evaluation report** 

The Maya Centre has a strong commitment to evaluating the work that we do to provide a high quality, continuously improving service. We continue to use the nationally recognised Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – CORE and have successfully moved this to an online system, CoreNet. This system enables us to evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of our service and to use that learning to develop and deliver the best possible services to clients. It also allows for accurate reporting to funders, and for comparison with many NHS and third sector psychological therapies services. 

Clients are given CORE questionnaires to complete at different stages: pre counselling, mid counselling and at the end of their counselling, scores are taken from the questions answered and are calculated within four areas; emotional wellbeing, problems, functioning and risk to self and others. Counsellors also complete a CORE Therapy assessment form as part of the assessment process and a CORE end of therapy assessment form.

**Report of the trustees (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **What difference do our services make?** 

Our referral and assessment process showed that for the period April 2020-March 2021, 70% of the clients we supported disclosed experiences of domestic abuse or violence; 20% disclosed childhood sexual abuse; 28% disclosed experiences of sexual abuse including rape. All women referred to our services reported experiencing depression, stress or anxiety. 

## Overall Effectiveness of Service 

CORE gives a framework to assess changes over time for the individual, and the overall effectiveness of the services. However, this approach can only be complete where the therapy has reached a planned ending and as it is recognised that it can be difficult for some clients to manage the ending of the therapeutic relationship, this is an area we have been working on to improve. 

We have now achieved a consistent rate of 86.3% planned endings. Based on the information from CORE questionnaires, relating to the women who completed their 1-1 counselling we see the following: 

97% of women showed an improvement in their ability to explore and express their feelings. 

71% of women showed an improvement in personal insight. 

77% of women showed an improvement in their coping strategies. 

81% of women showed an improvement in their subjective well- being. 

74% of women showed an improvement in day-to-day functioning. 

63% of women showed an improvement in their decision-making 

94% of women showed an improvement in personal relationships. 

This shows the counselling service to be highly effective, with women scoring higher clinical outcomes than in previous years despite increased incidence/ disclosure of abuse and exploitation under the Covid-19 pandemic.

## **Monitoring and evaluation report (continued)** 

Aside from CORE, clients also complete monitoring forms pre counselling and feedback forms at the end of their counselling. These feedback forms ask about the client's experience of the Centre and their counselling. Here are some quotes from clients about their overall experience of 1-1 counselling: 

_‘I have gained an insight thanks to my therapy. I have learnt to manage my stress by practicing breath exercises. I have started to exercise regularly with my daughter. These all creates a reduction in my somatic pains. I felt significant as my counsellor takes me seriously.’_ 

_‘The easy access and the self-referral option were really good. I sense a very welcoming attitude and there was an option to speak my mother tongue. It helped me to gain a different perspective to the issues that I am struggling with. I felt understood. Also, the counsellor helped me to identify my own issues and to make them talkable.’_ 

_‘Incredible service, I only had to wait for a few months in order to access such an amazing service. Emails responded to very quickly. Calls and appointments were always on time as agreed. The counselling hasn’t just been helpful, it has changed my life and I am so incredibly grateful that I was given this opportunity. I am a new person. I understand myself and others. I feel strong and confident, but genuinely from within the inside instead of ‘trying’ to be strong. I know who I am now, and I like that person.’_ 

_' It was really positive from the start and I’m really glad I met my therapist a few times before lockdown happened as I felt a good connection based on our meetings at the centre. It helped give me confidence to process my thoughts and reactions. I found a version of myself that I find more comfortable and confident being and learned about boundaries and ways to deal with people in a way that makes life easier and calmer. I feel calmer and in control of my life in a way that has not only had a positive effect on me but has also had a positive knock-on effect on the people who are closest to me in my life.’_ 

## **Future developments** 

The demand for specialist counselling for women continues to grow, particularly in the light of increasing public and media interest in Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). With a strong track record in providing in-depth and inclusive trauma-informed services, it is vital that The Maya Centre continues to develop both our expertise and profile so that we can meet the needs of the most isolated and traumatised women within Islington and other London boroughs. 

In practice, this means continuing to provide a choice of short and longer-term counselling for women, using our recent learning under Covid-19 to offer both face-to-face and remote telephone or online sessions according to need. It also means working to create more accessible and inclusive pathways into counselling so that more a more diverse group of women can receive timely and appropriate support before reaching crisis point. 

During the period April 2020-March 2021, we received new funding from the Lloyds Bank Foundation aimed at supporting key developments within the Maya Centre over the next two years. In keeping with our 5-year Strategic Plan, our priorities for development include: 

**• Growing our services** : focusing on both increasing client numbers to optimum capacity, and crucially, diversifying our client base so that we capitalise on our intercultural and language expertise to reach more minoritised women. 

**• Broadening our income sources** : a) Exploring partnership and consortium opportunities which grow our capacity for counselling, psychoeducation and community support work for women. b) Developing a strategy for increasing private donations and other means of funding core costs. 

**• Increasing visibility of our clients:** using a community development approach to give our clients more voice via participation and co-design of services, with an advisory function to the Board. 

**• Amplify the impact of our work:** focusing on our digital offer, including investing in our website and social media, in order to share our learning and impact with potential clients, funders, commissioners, donors and influencers within the wider mental health and VAWG fields.

**Report of the trustees (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **The Maya Centre** 

## **Future developments (continued)** 

Alongside these developments, we are refining our vision and mission statements as follows: 

## **Vision** 

Our vision is a world where all women can prioritise their mental health and wellbeing, equality and dignity, safe from abuse, exclusion or discrimination of any kind. 

## **Mission** 

Our mission is to build a safe and inclusive women-for-women community in which we: 

• Offer a range of free trauma-informed services to minoritised women on low-incomes, including counselling & psychotherapy, group work and complementary therapies. 

- Support recovery from depression, trauma and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) with a focus on building trust, resilience and voice. 

- Flex to meet women’s different needs by offering between 6-21 sessions of therapy, as individuals, in groups, face-to-face or remotely. 

- Prioritise intercultural and intersectional approaches via tailored and targeted support in community languages and for specific, minoritised cultural groups. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Financial update** 

Income for the year totalled £410,318, an increase of £187,791 compared to the previous year. Expenditure for the year totalled £346,191, an increase of £42,003 compared to the previous year. The net surplus for the year was £64,127. This compares to a net deficit for the previous year of £81,631. 

In common with many other voluntary organisations working in an economic downturn, our financial situation is difficult, requiring a constant programme of identifying potential sources of funding, applying for grants, bidding for contracts, analysing and evaluating our data and performance, reviewing our expenditure and finding efficiencies. 

We are very grateful for the continued support from our Patrons, Friends and Supporters and charitable trusts which provide the greater part of our income. While there is considerable pressure on our finances we remain optimistic that the quality, reputation, and continued efficiency of our services to vulnerable women will ensure that this work will be supported into the future. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the Maya Centre that it retains sufficient reserves to ensure that the organisation can cover its liabilities for at least 3 months and up to 6 months of operating costs and this is our continuing aim. 

The minimum we are obliged to keep in reserves is sufficient to cover liabilities in the event that the charity should be wound up, including redundancy for all employed staff plus sufficient to cover completion of client services; settling outstanding utilities, extraction from all leases and other bills. The amount we need and are able to put aside (according to conditions placed on grant income) will be agreed on an annual basis as part of the budget setting process. 

Our reserves are sufficient to cover 3 months running costs and we will endeavour to build on this. 

## **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.

**Report of the trustees (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Constitution** 

The Maya Centre is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 27th March 1992. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. No director has any beneficial interest in the charitable company. All directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

## **Method of appointment or election of Trustees** 

Under the governing Articles, the Trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting to serve a period of one year, subject to re-election at each Annual General Meeting. Trustees are recruited from the local community and are divided into those who bring clinical expertise to the organisation and those with wider organisational skills such as HR, academia, management, business and finance. All Trustees retire at the Annual General Meeting and are eligible for re-election. 

Trustees Sue Kon and Anna Keegan resigned. Trustees Rebecca Harrington, Pat Lloyd, Jessica Walker, Meera Nair, Ieva Marcinkeviciute, Laura Catherine Mackinnon, Ayan Man, Katherine Tu and Lisa Marsh were re-elected. Rebecca Harrington was elected Chair; Pat Lloyd was elected Vice Chair and Lisa Marsh was elected Treasurer. Rochelle Burgess, Jennie Robertson and Nishma Jethwa were elected as new trustees. 

## P **olicies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees** 

All new Trustees are provided with information about The Maya Centre and attend an induction meeting with relevant staff and Trustees. 

## **Organisational structure and decision making** 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for decisions relating to the governance and future development of the organisation, and has been operating as a single Board, with three sub-committees which report regularly to the Board of Trustees: Clinical Governance (co-chaired by Jessica Walker and Jennie Robertson); Fundraising (chaired by Katie Tu); and Finance (chaired by Lisa Marsh). 

The Board of Trustees appoints a director and delegates all day-to-day organisational work to her, including ongoing financial management, clinical direction, fundraising and management of staff. 

## **Risk management** 

The Centre has risk mitigation policies in place and maintains a risk register. Risks are reviewed regularly by the management team and the risk register reviewed by the Board of Trustees and updated on a bi-annual basis. The register identifies major and minor risks, contributing factors and mitigating actions and any early warning mechanisms. The risks, to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, are effectively mitigated as part of this procedure. 

The Centre has a robust system of internal control that supports its aims and objectives, whilst safeguarding clients and its funds. We have taken steps to mitigate and resolve issues that have arisen in-year and continue to work towards successful assurance outcomes.

**Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## 1 **Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year, except where noted. 

## **1.1 Legal form** 

The Maya Centre ("the company") is a charity limited by guarantee and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is Unit 8, 9-15 Elthorne Road, London, N19 4AJ. The nature of the company's operations and principal activities are to provide relief for women who are suffering from mental health problems by means of therapeutic services. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. 

## **1.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. 

The company constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. 

## **1.3 Going concern** 

The trustees' consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **1.4 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 charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity 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.

## **The Maya Centre** 

## 1 **Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.5 Income** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **1.6 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. 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. 

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

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

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **1.7 Cash flow** 

The company has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption in the "Amendments to 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 - Update Bulletin 1".

## **Notes to the financial statements (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** 

## 1 **Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.8 Interest receivable** 

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

## **1.9 Operating leases** 

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **1.10 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **1.11 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. 

## **1.12 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 charity anticipates i t will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advance payments for the goods or services i t 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 within interest payable and similar charges. 

## **1.13 Financial instruments** 

The company 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## 1 **Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **1.14 Taxation** 

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **1.15 Pensions** 

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. 

## **1.16 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations for future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

The level of deferred income varies depending on when a grant is received and the time frame the grant is to be spread over. The level of deferred income is re-assessed annually to ensure that an appropriate amount is being recognised.
