Section A.  Reference and administration details of the charity 

## **Trustees Report and Accounts for the period starting 01.04.2020 ending 31.03.2021 which also comprises the Directors’ Report required by the Companies Act 2006.** 

The legal name of the charity is Change Birmingham Brief Therapy 

The charity operates in England & Wales and is registered with the Charity Commission with number 1037463 

The Charity has had a successful year financially and has retained our hard working and effective admin staff, volunteers, trustees and counsellors. Our work has been dominated by the need to respond to the requirements of COVID 19 and the resulting increased demand for brief therapy. 

Change has continued to adapt it’s procedures and working practices in response to the urgent needs of the community during the COVID 19 pandemic. We have provided telephone and video counselling throughout the last year and are working towards reintroducing our face to face work as soon as it is safe to do so, while maintaining our high standards of service delivery, health and safety, safeguarding, confidentiality and data protection. 

The Trustees have continued to meet regularly by Zoom, including a successful AGM and the Chair has joined meetings of the Directors of the Company, to facilitate communication and joint working. The Trustee Group was successful in running a comprehensive recruitment campaign, which resulted in the appointment of three new highly qualified and experienced Trustees who will complement the work of the existing team. 

Monthly clinical supervision has been provided by Zoom, giving counsellors much needed de-briefing, peer support and expert advice. Online training opportunities have also been fully utilised. 

As a result of an effective collaboration with Birmingham Mind and the Mental Health Trust, Change has continued to provide immediate brief therapy to Birmingham citizens aged 16 plus, who have identified as experiencing mental health crisis. We have worked with our partners, to develop and adapt our services to respond to the increasing need for counselling services by Birmingham citizens who have been adversely affected by COVID 19. For those who are actively distressed and traumatised by their experiences relating to the virus, the option of our speedy and effective counselling interventions continues to help them to; develop coping strategies, recognise strengths and inner resilience, enabling them to respond more positively to their circumstances. The funding for this service was renewed for the 20/21 financial year and we are optimistic that this will be continued. 



Change was also successful in securing a 9 month grant from the Community Trust COVID 19 fund. This enabled us to provide brief therapy for clients aged 16 plus who, although they weren’t eligible for the crisis support service, were in urgent need of short-term support to help to relieve their distress and make changes/move forward in their lives, avoiding the need for them to use other mental health services. 

Change has retained involvement in delivering counselling services to young people aged 11 plus, through arrangements with specific schools. A generous grant from the Grimmitt Trust, has enabled us to continue supporting students whose parents are often desperate for help, as other services for young people are oversubscribed or have long waiting lists.  Our fundraising strategy for the coming year, includes a commitment to seek funds to continue and further develop our counselling services to young people. 

Change has continued it’s active membership of the Living Well Consortium, providing brief therapy to clients through the consortium’s COVID counselling project. We are also participating in the consortium’s Kickstart scheme, which will provide us with a trainee admin assistant to work with our existing admin team on a six month placement. Our proposal for a pilot project to provide solution focussed therapy for clients referred from the Eating Disorder services, has been postponed. 

Change Birmingham Brief Therapy has continued to successfully deliver two types of training online during the continuing COVID 19 restrictions.  We offer courses for individual professionals in the form of the Foundation, Certificate and Diploma in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and bespoke Solution Focused training for organisations. This training enables a wide range of individuals and teams to adopt a SFBT approach, which can be tailored to achieve positive change for clients, staff teams and managers. This initiative generates income for the business, which supports the running costs of the Charity. We have retained BPS approval of our Foundation course and continue to engage in best practice discussions with the wider SFBT community. 

Following our previous practice-based research, Change has been building on this evidenced based work, which validates the benefits of the approach for clients, helping us to expand and secure funding for our work, raise awareness of the advantages for clients and contribute to the knowledge base and improved practice within SFBT.   A new research project has now been approved. Naturally occurring data collected by Change SFBT practitioners, will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the service that is provided over a 12-month period from July 2021. Findings from analysis of this data will be used to further inform and help support the effectiveness of the service that is offered by Change. 

Our growing team of committed, enthusiastic and diverse counsellors, continue to contribute new perspectives and ideas for the development of our services. After a previous refresh, we are now working on a specification for a total redesign of our website, to ensure that it is as accessible, interactive and informative as possible, promoting maximum use of our counselling and training services to everyone in the Birmingham area. Linked to this, is the ongoing 



development of our use of Social Media, improving access to our services and communications with clients, potential commissioners and funders. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank trustees, counsellors, volunteers and staff for their continued dedication and hard work over the last year and look forward to another stimulating and successful year, working with partners to develop and improve our offer to fellow professionals, the young people and citizens of Birmingham.
