Additionally, it aims lo support the training and development of trainee and newly qualified counsellors and psycholherapists by providing additional skills training and the opportunity to expand their clinical experience. and lo promote study and research in the r￿Id of counselling and psychotherapy. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Sectton 4 of the Charitie5 Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. "Charities and Public Benefit" All of the activib'es that are undertaken by the Charity are for the advancement of the objectives outlined al)ove. Strategic report Achievements and performance a. Main achievements of the Charity The principal activity of the charity is the provision of short-term counselling to people wth psychological difficulties living in Hammersmith and Fulham, or those registered wth a GP in the Borough. Wesl London Centre for C￿Jnsel1Ing has for several been commissioned by West London NHS Trust to provide assessment and counselling ServI￿S as part of NHS Talking Therapies (previously known as IAPTI in Hammersmith and FuSham. This arrangement was originally contracted to continue until March 2023 and was successfully extended to 31 March 2024 pending an invitation from the NHS to tender for a new five-year agreeTnent beginning April 2024. The extended contractual arrangements involved a significant change in the service model WLCC had traditionally provided and these are discussed below. The contract and the changes required involved an almost doubling of the Centre's cost base and a commitment from the NHS to provide funds accordingly. During the perii)d 2023-24 WLCC was invited by Wesl London NHS Trust to tender to supply the above services for a further five-year term beginning April 2024. The Board is delighted to confimi that in July 2023, il was announced that WLCC'S bid was SUC￿$$fUl. The new contracl is guaranteed for three years from 1 April 2024 with a further two years, provisional commitment. The charity received ex￿lIent leedback on ils bid, which was based on the quality of the Service it has provided to date. While the Servi￿ to be offered to clients remained fundamentslly unchanged. the new contracl included changes to the NHS service requirements which meant future counselling provision could no longer be delivered by trainee volunteers. The Centre had to reduce Ihe number of training placements offered, and increase the numbers of professionally qualified counsellors on the payroll: such counsellors must also now have completed - or be working towards - an NHS Talking Therapies recognised modality training, such as Person-centred Experiential Counselling for Dep￿sSIOn IPCE-CfD). Couples Therapy for Depression ICTfD). Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy IDIT} or Inter-personal Therapy {IPT}. During this change. current trainees continued to be supwrted so they could complete their course placement requirernents. Throughout the year, counselling was provided by a mix of volunteers. trainees and qualified stipendiary counsellors, with the number of employed counsellars increasing as trainee placements were phased out. WEST LONDON CENTRE FOR COUNSELLING Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 As a consequence of these contractual changes affecbng income levels and contractual periods, the Board felt it prudent to seek a one-year extension only of the property leasehold agreement until the outcome of the lender was known. and the ongoing five-year lease was extended to June 2023 al the same rent. Subsequent to the new NHS contraGt being confimied. WLCC extended the lease corrtract for a further five-year period, at the current rent, with a break clause in 2026. The NHS contract required WLCC to make changes in the areas of clinical training, supervision. and Client reportj'ng protocols. As well as several of the exisling stipendiary counsellors requiring additional training in NHS Talking Therapies recognised models of therapy. all the wunsellors and administration staff required further training in NHS database access and entry. and look on additional responsibilities. All this was accomplished within budget and without detriment lo the cent￿ meeting ils witractual client outcomes in terms of both access targets and improveTnents in clients, symploms. Throughout the year the Board was conscious of cost control and the need lo preserve balance sheet reserves during the period of contractual uncertainty and to enable growth in its charitable aims following consolidation of the above changes. Challenges lo the maintenance of reserves came from the need to realistically review future rates of pay to remain in line with NHS pay awards. the need for new equipment. repairs and seNices to meet the new requirements, and the Centre's ambitions and objectives going forward- all of which were factored in to the budgets and long-range forecasts lo ensure that Suff￿lent reserves would be maintained. At the en(J of the period the Centre employed 24 part-time qualified and accredited counsellorslpsychoiherapists and continued lo support a small number of volunteers completing their client commitments andlor their final course training requirements, which the Centre has agreed lo continue as part of its charitable obligation. The managemenl and the Trustees of WLCC exlend thanks to all the volunteer trainee counsellors and supervisors who, over the pasl thity years and more. have supported the charitable aims of the Centre, and have provided an invaluable service to the community. The Centre has been one of London's outstsnding clinical placement providers for many advanced trainees of London's training schools. WLCC is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accrediled service and in the period 202&24, rnel all of the criteria under the BACP Accreditalion scheme's Annual Rolling Review scheme. b. Key performance indicators The Board determined several key obj'ectives for the year. These were bolh strategic and operational as follows.. .To subslanlially meet the transition requirements delerrnined by Ihe extended contract wth the NHS and to position itself organisationally to meet the specifications of the upcoming tender for the new five-year conlract. In view of the changes required by the exiended contract wth the NHS. to maintain control of costs to preserve or enhance balance sheet reserves in case of failure to win the tender. .To submit a lender for the new contractual period as fully and capably as possible. Depending on the outcome of the tender lo re-negotiate the leasehold contrad accordingly. Operationally. to meet its ongoing contractual obligations regarding clinical targets and outcomes. WEST LONDON CENTRE FOR COUNSELLING Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 The Board is pleased lo confimi that Centre successfully managed the transition from the use of volunteers to stipendiary counsellors within Ihe budget set and thereby was able to enhance reserves by £300,000. At the saffle lime a tender was submitted and successfully won lo supply counselling services to West London NHS Trust for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 Mafch 2029. Operationally WLCC met its performance targets during and al the end of year for Ireatment numbers, recovery rates. and waiting times. The Centre used PHQ-9 (Palient Health Questionnaire), designed to facilitate the recognits'on and diagnosis of depression in primary care patienls. and GAD7 (Generalised Anxiety Disorderl, designed primarily as a measure for anxiety disorder. Based on the nati¢)nal standard. WLCC exceeded the 'RecoverV target of 50Yo Wlth a score of 56.76 /. for the full year 2023-24. In 2023-24 WLCC received over 1.500 referrals, assessed over 1,200 clients. and accepted neady 800 people for indiwdual or couple counselling treatment. {The remaining 400 clients who were assessed but did not have counselling were referred or signposted to other more appropriate servI￿s. including other services within NHS Talking Therapies,. all were given advice and support.) During the period roughly 35°/o of clinical work was carried oul online, via video link. and 65°/0 in person at the Centre.. there was an increasing demand from clients to return to face to face counselling. The Centre provided a high level of accessibility for clients of different ages and backgrounds. and offered choice and flexibility to clients by providing evening sessions, facilities for clients with disabilities, as well as a choice of face-to-face. online or telephone counselling. During the period, C£sunselling was provided by counsellors with disabililies and from a wide range of ethnic. culturdl and social backgrounds, induding counsellors identifying as LGBTQl+ Counselling was also provided in languages other than English, both by bilingual counsellors and by English-speaking counsellors Ihrough an interpretef. WLCC conbnued to receive very posib.ve feedback and comments from client5. "I had a really positive experien￿ with rny therdpist. I was very closed to counselling and therapy but At really helped me lo articulate to myseff what I was going thmugh and I now feel I have the ability to face these issues mysem." Counselling client, January 2024 Financial review a. Going concern After making appropriate enquiries. the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources lo continue ils operations for the foreseeable future. For this reason. they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. b. Reserves polTCy In the financial year 2023-2024 the main source of income for the Centre was a contract for the provision of serwces to Wesl London NHS Trust IWLNT). With a new five-year contract in place this continues to be the case for 2024-25 and beyond. The Centre also receives small donations and occasional funding from individuals and other charities. WEST LONDON CENTRE FOR COUNSELLING Report of the Trustees FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 The forecasl income for 2024-25 is £980,000 with total expense levels lo be slightly higher at £1,000,000. Both these figures are in line with expectations following the re-organisation of provision and the use of reserves to meet this clrallenge and meel incidenlal repair and maintenance costs. The Board of Trustees recommend continuing a reserve policy equating to three months running costs. Conscious of the increasing cost base associated with the new NHS contract the Board detemiined the reserve amount should remain al £325.000 for the financial year end March 2024. These reserves are included in the amount designated unrestricted funds in the balance sheet. With the rising costs of building materials and service5 the Board also decided to increase the provision for dilapidation lo £20,000. Structure, governance and management a.
