RELATE MILTON KEYNES

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Principal Objectives and activities

Relate Milton Keynes is an independent charity which operates within a federation of charities affiliated to Relate, a national charitable organisation. The national organisation supports Relate Milton Keynes and other members of the federation by providing training for counsellors, advice and guidance in connection with marketing, human resources and professional services as well as monitoring for quality control purposes and the maintenance of professional standards.

Relate Milton Keynes shares the vision statement of Relate of a future in which healthy relationships are actively promoted as the heart of a thriving society.

Relate Milton Keynes supports clients through delivering relationship counselling for adult individuals, couples, young people and families as well as psychosexual therapy for couples and individuals, irrespective of gender orientation. The aim of our Couples services is to alleviate emotional distress caused by relationship problems assisting clients through talking therapy to resolve the problems or, if that is not possible, to exit the relationship in a sensible and practical way. Our Couples services are available to all couples, regardless of marital status or gender. Working with families and young people, we aim to reduce the emotional cost of family breakdowns, particularly for young people to enable them to reach their full potential despite the inevitable stresses and problems within a family. Feedback from our clients continues to report that they experience positive impacts from our services, which result in fewer separations, happier, safer family relationships and more intimate love lives. This can be reflected in reduced absenteeism from workplaces or schools and a reduction in general health problems.

The Child and Adolescent Mental Health service has continued to refer young people and families to Relate Milton Keynes for counselling and continued to provide funding support for the delivery of that counselling, benefitting young people who are experiencing difficulties as a result of parental separation or adjusting to changing family arrangements or new relationships. The charity, in common with the national organisation has identified an increasing need for counselling among children and young people. We have therefore increased and continue to seek to increase the number of our counsellors trained in assisting this group and looking at ways in which the service can be delivered.

Our psychosexual therapy service offers help to individuals and couples facing personal or relationship difficulties in their sexual activities.

The year to 31 March 2023 could fairly be regarded as a year of recovery after the effects of the Covid pandemic which forced radical changes to the way in which our administration operated and the way in which our services were delivered. In particular, where our core service has always been based on the concept of face-to-face counselling services with clients attending our centre in Wolverton for counselling, the restrictions imposed during the pandemic saw a major change with virtually all services being delivered remotely via video links. That trend has continued despite the relaxation of the Covid restrictions and Relate Milton Keynes, together with Relate nationally and other Relate centres forming part of the national federation are actively considering how best to provide services in future and the effect this will have on our requirements for staff and premises.

The staff and trustees of Relate Milton Keynes are acutely conscious of the cost of our services, particularly at a time when high inflation is causing many families financial problems. The trustees have set aside funds to operate a bursary scheme which allows the delivery of services at a reduced rate for those in genuine financial difficulty. The charity will continue to offer this bursary assistance and continues to seek other sources of funding to enable it to reduce the cost to as many people as possible.

Relate Milton Keynes has also supported and adopted a far-reaching brand review undertaken by the national body and is actively promoting the new brand and its catch-phrase “ We can Relate” in the Milton Keynes area. .

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Principal Objectives and activities

The charity welcomes all who live or work in the unitary authority of Milton Keynes and makes it services available to all. The trustees, in reviewing service provision to the whole population of Milton Keynes have noted that the ratios of ethnic minorities using our services mirrors in large measure the ethnic diversity of Milton Keynes. In conjunction with the Relate national body, Relate Milton Keynes has adopted a policy in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion and is actively working to increase diversity and inclusion in all facets of the charity’s operation.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The overall sessions delivered by Relate Milton Keynes has decreased by 13% to 2,933 sessions (2022: 3,369 sessions). This includes:

The results of our outcomes survey for Relationship counselling clients revealed that:

100% (2022: 100%) rated their experience of Relate as 'very good' or 'good' 100% (2022: 100%) would recommend Relate to others

The deficit on the ordinary activities of Relate Milton Keynes during the year amounted to £354 (2022: deficit of £17,740). The principal funders during the year are as follows;

Client counselling income CAMHS Income from trading activities

The total funds held by the Relate Milton Keynes as at 31 March 2023 was £215,422 (2022: £215,776).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should generally be expended within 3 and 6 months. This amounts to a figure of between £47,027 and £94,053 in general funds. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the likely event of a significant drop in funding.

It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities developed to compensate. At present the general reserves (excluding designated funds) which amount to £113,049 are above this band. The trustees will keep this policy under constant review.

The trustees are confident that Relate Milton Keynes is able to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

FUTURE STRATEGY

By supporting children, young people, families, parents, individuals, couples and organisations both through counselling and training, Relate Milton Keynes continues to take a holistic view of relationship support and is a leading early intervention, targeted, community based, front-line service provider in the city.

The trustees of Relate Milton Keynes intend to develop a rolling three-year strategic plan which will be informed by an extensive review of key services and delivery methods being undertaken by the national Relate organisation in consultation with its federated centres around England and Wales. Our key strategic goals, however remain:

  1. To ensure the continuing delivery of Relate’s core services through electronic communications to the population of Milton Keynes;

  2. To make face-to-face counselling available to clients who need or prefer this form of service delivery;

  3. To develop and find ongoing funding for the bursary scheme to make our services available to all, irrespective of ability to pay;

  4. To build and enhance the skills of the counselling team through further recruitment and development training;

  5. To ensure we maintain best practice in implementing our policy for equality, diversity and inclusion in all facets of the agency’s functions.

In pursuance of those goals, the trustees have set aside funds to implement a bursary scheme for those unable to afford the full charge for our services. The scheme has proved successful and the trustees will continue to consider ways of extending it and making our services more widely available. We will also continue to seek and extend the scope of external funding for additional bursary services.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up. The total number of guarantees at 31st March 2023 was 25.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Executive Board

The Executive Board should consist of a minimum of six and a maximum of eighteen Members, including the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer, who are elected at the Annual General Meeting. The remaining Executive Board Members are elected by the Members of the Centre at the Annual General Meeting and shall hold office for a year but shall be eligible for reelection. The chair's period of office shall be two years renewable to a maximum of eight years. The maximum period on the Executive shall also be eight consecutive years for all other Members. The Executive Board may also co-opt up to two people, whether members of the Centre or not, to join the Executive Board. Any co-opted Member of the Executive shall cease to be a co-opted Member if he/she becomes an elected Member. The Executive Board currently comprises the three officers plus three trustees elected at the Annual General Meeting (two other trustees elected at the Annual General Meeting having resigned in the course of the year.).

Remuneration

Relate Milton Keynes operates a remuneration policy whereby an annual percentage award is considered for all directly employed staff, from 1st April each year, and that the individual percentage be so calculated to include:

Given the size of the organisation, the trustees do not believe that a set salary scale for each post is appropriate or beneficial. As a member of the Living Wages Foundation, Relate Milton Keynes ensures its payscales are in line with the annual recommended increases in the Living Wage.

The average employee headcount during the financial year was 11 (full-time equivalent was 4). No employees earned in excess of £60,000 and the total remuneration paid to the key management personnel during the year was £44,555.

During the period the trustees received no remuneration and no trustees claimed reimbursement of expenses in this financial year (2022: £nil).

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees have developed and continue to monitor a rolling three-year strategic plan and regularly review status reports highlighting potential risks and prioritising actions.

Internal risks are considered minimal by the implementation of financial procedures that are periodically reviewed to ensure they are working efficiently.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

Going concern

The Trustees have performed a robust analysis of forecast future cash flows taking into account any potential impacts on the charity. This analysis also considers the effectiveness of available measures to assist in mitigating the impact. Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the charity, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

Income

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

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - Straight line over 50 years Fixtures and fittings - Straight line over 5 years

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slowmoving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
