Trustees Report 2021- 2022 Connect Counselling Seplice has been working in the community for 28 years. The service offers general counselling to the public. training placements and occasional workshops for counsellors in the area. Connect works under a Christian ethos. The organisation continues to evolve to meet the needs of the communty and has worked through the Covrd-19 pandemic; subsequent lockdown and lrfe beyond. to provide an essential service. It has been a challenging year for Connect. but we are still a vibrant counselling service. Coming through a pandemic was a challenge for all and our unforeseen instabilty in Management has been difficult. but not insurmountable. Deep gratitude is extended to Wendy Coope (Counselling Team Manager) for keeping Connect afloat by skilfully doing her role and taking on the additional role of stsnd-in CEO. between CEO appointments. Connect Counselling servi provides professional counselling to individual adufts over 18, couples and family groups of any age. irrespective of their financial ststus, gender. sexual orientation, religion or ethnic origin. The organisation is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adheres to the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. In addition, we are a member of The Association of Christian Counsellors {ACC}. Connect was originally set up by a group of local churches in 1994. The Servi operates within a Christian ethos which means that our Management. stsff and volunteers are practicing Christians. Our motivation is to provide a counselling Servi to the community. that is within the reach of as many people as possible. Connect reapplied for Accredited ServFce Ststus in 2019 to the BACP and have been granted further Accreditation until 2024 providing continue to maintain our high stsndards of servi. bacp | Accredited Service Connect offers the community support through professional counselling. addressing issues that affect mental health. impacting families. relationships, employment and everyday lrfe. The team at Connect work together in their different roles to provide a professional, caring servi that is accountable and can respond to the needs of our communty. ensuring that we are adaptable and acssible to those who are stwggling.
We recognise that it can be difficult to make first contact and so we ensure that our Servi is easy to access and provides a warm welcome to those who approach the servi. -Excellent sern"ce- -coming to Connect has been the best thlng forme- The health of a communty is impacted by the wellbeing of each indNidual living and working within it. One in five (21 Yo) of adults in the UK experienced some fomi of Depression during January to March 2021. which is more than double that before the pandemic (ACC, 2021). sin the pandemic, ongoing research shows a marked effect on mental health. Isolation. limited social interactions. tensions amongst families Itving together in lockdown, along with the fear of infection has caused distress and has contributed to a rise in anxiety and depression and impacting those already vulnerable. The highest rates of depressive illness have been found to be people aged between 16 to 39 and adults over 70 {ACC. 2021 >. da. -Being able to talk comfortabty and confidenty has helpedme open up" Clients come to Connect with a variety of problems and cOnmS ranging from depression, anxiety, Stress, relationship difficufties, abuse. bereavement, or other trauma. These concerns can often be aggravated by redundancy or rf struggling financialty, and more recently. from the huge increases in cost of living. Clients come from a broad expanse of society. Many are unemployed, are single parents or come from broken and fragmented families. Counselling was given remotety in the pandemic. Now we are back to FacfrttrFace sessions at Connect, unless by exception, for example. a person is housebound. If, following assessment, a client requires a different option to Connect, a more appropriale route is suggested. However, no one is vler turned away due to lad( of funds.
Counselling is not an easy thing to urKlertake, and it requires determination and commitrnent from indivrduals to work through their COnmS with their counsellor, but it can make a real differen to someone's life. Seventy-six pernt of those who have had therapy or counselling would recommend it to friends and family {BACP, 2019). Nearly 80% of people get better {BACP, 2005). "I feelso much stmnger and have a better undet5tanding of my life." Clients contact Connect themselves to request counselling. They do not need a referral from another professional. However, many clients contact Connect following a recommendation from their GP or via the Community Mental Health Team. Others hear about Connect by word of mouth or through our website. One hundred and thirty-eight people attended an initial appointment for counselling this year, to be considered as new clients This is compared to 75 the previous year and 173 the year before that. We delivered 1154 sessions. which is compared to 1588 sessions held last year and 2,384 the year before thaL This indudes Couples. We very much value feedback from clients. both as an encouragemerrt, but also to ensure we address any concerns raised, so that our service is the best that it can be. I would therefore like to thank all the clients who expressed themselves so eloquenty and allowed us to use their comments. Throughout this report, client comments have been written in bokl italics. The most renty reiVed client comment. about overall feelings was" "It has been fantasuc for me. tt was hanl at timès but now I can see me and my lrfe thmugh different eyes. Everyone should be counselledJ-. Here at Connect, we can offer something very different to counselling through the NHS, which tends to use only one model and has constraints on how many sessions Can be offered to each client.
Our clients request counselling for themselves arKJ do not need to go through any referral system. Sessions are held weekly with a counsellor and can continue for as long as neSsary. The numbers of sessions vary depending on the needs of the client and rf appropriate can continue up to two years or more. However, most clients find a few months to a year about right. Our counsellors use various professional models and approaches when working with their clients and are always dient-led, working at the clienfs own pa. This gives our Servi fiexibilty to support clients in the way most suited to each Individuals, needs. If for any reason we need to bring sessions to a close or a break. we ty and ensure there are several weeks to prepare dients for this to happen. We currenty have the capacity to provide 32 counsellors working with individuals and they work, on average. with three clients at a time. A number of counsellors left Connect in the last year and Wendy is working hard to build the team back up. New trainees start with one dient" then have a second client and finally a third cl*nL This impacts the number of clients that can be seen, and our waiting lists are long (currently 31 people are waiting to be allocated a counsellor. A further 17 are waiting to start the process). "I will always be grateful to my counsellor for what she has done for me" The counsellors are supported in their work through professional supervision in line with BACP Ethical Framework for best practi. There are seven supervision groups for counsellors working with individual clients. with four counsellors in each group. These are led by our Supervisors, Helen. Carolyn. Penelope and Richard. We are looking to recrutt an additional supervisor. "Supportlve and carfng.-
VALO11 . Alongside individual work, there are counsellors who have undertaken additional training to work with couples. They are supported by Penelope in additional supeNision groups. We currently have three counsellors who can offer appointments to couples. "Counselllng is a verygood place forcouples who are stsuggling.- EAtllilLkn" During the lod(down it was not possible to offer family therapy remotely. However Penelope is back working with families of all ages at the Connect Offi and she is now joined by Steven and Laurie. An important aim in Family Therapy is to provide neutral Spa for everybcMJy to be heard. Relationships and communication can often play a part in difficulb'es, so taking the time to come together and begin to explore the struggles they fa is the first step. Toys and drawings will often be used to enable a child to express themselves more openly. Each member of the family is important. The therapist ensures that everyone is given an equal voice and opportunity to change the pattern of communication. The family can then focus on working through their cOnms. -Counselling sessions have helped my daughter very much in coping and understanding her feelings. This has impmved my own understandlng of her feelings and how best I can continue to support her.- Clients usually respond positively to the therapists and work hard to improve their situation. Wrth the consent of the clients, therapy is provbded with open refiectFons from the therapist with the family in their sessions. This means that the therapists. working as a team, can reflect constructivety between themselves on what they are hearing in the session and Ihe family can then respond to this reflection. This is sometimes used in systemic practice and generally cllents like the opportunty to reflect and it can be very helpful to them. io
"I feel we arn making significant prngrex l am genuinety Suse by our Indlvldual rvsponses to prnblems and sltuations discussed durfng the s&sslons and genuinely Impr&8sed by the observatlons made by our therapist&- - As well as counselling dients. Connect offers training to counsellors through supervised placements for trainees studying in the local Colleges and Universities. Covid-19 proved a fresh challenge for those undertaking training. Some counsellors were able to use remote counselling. others needed further experience and training. Colleges have provided training for counsellors in remote work and allowing trainees to count some online working towards their dient hours required to qualify. In order to continue professional development. we hope to gNe all our counsellors the opportunity to attend training workshops through Connect to update and develop thelr counselling skills. This has not been possible yet this year, but time-permitting. we hope to soon. When possible, in-house training is given to new counsellors and voluntary offi helpers. The desire is there, the challenge is prioritising it over competing work to keep the Servi going. Feedback from counsellors since February 2022 is that they would like Continuing Professional Development on a range of issues including Most of the counsellors begin their time with Connect on placement while undertaking counsellor training at College or Universty. on qualif. many continue as part of the team, still as volunteers. offering their wealth of experience to the service and working for the goc* of the communty. My thanks go to all these trained counsellors who give of their time and expertise on a voluntary basis at Connect and for all the extra work involved in supporting their cIEnts during lockdown and the transitton out of lockdown and beyond. Every amount of time they give is valued and this is particularly true where trained counsellors undertake Intake Assessment Appointments. Special thanks to Steven in this regard.
Cathie Russell retired in July 2021 and was briefy replaced by a new Director, before Emma Laporte took the reins in February 2022. Emma works closety with Wendy and Jan to keep operations running smoothly. The 'Family' of Connect operates on fuel of Prayer. wamith and support. Counselling Team Manager, Wendy Coope continues to manage the ever-changing team of counsellors, and the clients a¢ssing the servi, arKI ensuring best practice at all times. Office Manager Jan Mulliner runs the office and manages her team of voluntary Offi helpers. She ensures there is someone in reption to greet clients arriving for factCfa sessions. answer the phone and help with any administration. Counselling Team Manager Wendy Coope Office Manager Jan Mulliner Chief Execulive Officer Dr. Emma Laporte 12
As CEO, Emma underpins all aspects of Connect operations and personnel. Securing funding is a high priority, as is adively valuing all members of the Connect family. Working with the Trustees, Treasurer, Wendy and Jan, she advances the strategic development of Connect and over time, makes steps to modernise the charty regarding internal prQsseS and cost efficiency. She also is the office helper when needed, Communications lead, Human Resources figure, digital facilitator. and a spectrum of roles in between. The role can be considered ambitious to squeeze into three days. The offi Helpers are the lrfe blood of Connects servi. As clients and counsellors come and go throughout the day, the office helper remains in reception, along with the office stsff, to ensure that no counselling sessions take place without someone else in the building. Two clients who were ending their counselling recently bought chocolates for the Office Helpers as their contribution to the experience of Connect Counselling servi is really appreciated. -Thank you, you are allproviding a worthwhile sernce- -Frfendty andprofessional- 13
8 Portesbery Road. Camberley. GU15 3TA. Our rented Connect Offi is near to the bus and train station in the centre of Camberley and is easily accessible to clients with parking nearby. We are very grateful to Karen of VSNS for enabling L5S to have a sign on the building denoting Connect Counselling Sendi and for her procurement of a microwave for the Connect family to use at meal times! The counselling rooms are unchanging. providing a calm and comfortable space. It is hoped Ihat modernising these rooms will take place in time. perhap5 by securing extemal sponsorship of each room, to provide an updated setting. We offer our premises as a base for Street Angels, a nationwide cross<hurch initiative, who befriend and support the public out on the streets of Camberley on Friday and Saturday nights. 14
Our Treasurer Sandra Fogwill. a chartered management accountant. is responsible for producing our financial accounts. Intemal policies are in pla to ensure compliance of all financial proureS induding named personnel and two signatories required on any bank transactions. Running a servits on donations and requested funding is challengtng, and without our supporters, it would not be possible. so we as always have been greatty encouraged by the generosty and commitnient of so many over these very difficult 12 months. Funded by We were also extremely grateful for £10.000 the Communty Foundation for Surrey in Juty 2021 ommunity Foundation for Surrey Rotary (fv041 PEOPLEOFACTION t4NATIO Farnborough Rotsry showed their support one again and gave us £500 towards our work. The grant given to us in January 2022 by Frimley Fuel Allotments for £10,000 was most welcome. FRIMLEY FUEL ALLOTMENTS All these funders enabled us to maintsin our Servi through the pandemic for which we are very grateful. 15
Fundraising Aside from Grant applications, intemal fundraising has been on hokl, with events cancelled due to the pandemic. Connect was sustained in this period by supporter donations which has been invaluable and our thanks to these faithful individuals and Churches and supporters. By securing funds through different means we continue to provide a sep4ic£ where clients can give a voluntary donation towards each session. rather than have a set fee which may exclude those struggling with finances If clients are e1ible for Grft Aid, we can claim accordingly, relying on permission from the HMRC. given historically. This gives us a very helpful addFtion to our funds. Client donations are important, for as well as covering some of our costs, it also helps clients to commit to the process and recognise the worth of the work they are undertaking. However. as many come to us in times of crisis and in great distress wtth very little money. this is always secondary to us offering the support they are requesling. As donations are voluntsry, our sessions continue irrespective of a donation and funding from other SoUrS remains essential for us to provide our servi$ to all with no fixed fees. It has been a challenging year for Connect Counselling sep11. one where we have made a loss of £5,045. We appreciate that many of our previous donors are having reduced funds available, and therefore are unable to donate as generousty. Client donations remained much the same as last year. We have had successful applications for grants of £20.254. These grants are as always highly valued. A combination of circumstsnces has meant that we have been unable to have any fundraising events directly organised by Connect. We are very grateful for the donors who organised their own events, and donated the proceeds Despite lower salary costs related to having several months without a CEO, total expenditure increased by £2,214. The hher costs are due to using the Connect office for more sessions and covid precautions are still an added cost. We hope 2022-23 will be a more normal year. Our reserves policy is to hold 6 months of operating service costs which is £45,000 (calculated as total anticipated expenditure £90.000). Based on the unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2022 of £66.076 and the ft>recasts and budgets produced, the charty has sufficient funds to continue for the foreseeable future which is defined as one year from the date of signing these accounts. These unrestricted reser4es provide stability and would be used as necessary to continue operats'ng the Servi in times of difficulty. 16
Like many charities. a significant proportion of Connecys income is in the fom of un-pledged donations, the size and timing of which 8re uncertain a1 so we are thankful for the faithfulness of all our supporters again this year. We have reviewed what we believe to be the major risks affecting Connect and systems are in pla to mitigate those rrsks. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practi. Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordan with the Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 arKI the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generalty Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. I confimi. on behalf of the Trustees Ihat we have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act to have due regard to public benefft guidan published by the Charty Commission. I took over as Chair of Trustees from Dr Jane Orr at the AGM in 2021. Jane gave many years of Servi to Connect Counselling servi as a Trustee and many thanks are due to her for her invaluable contribution. We started this reporting year with the impact of the Covid pandemic and lockdown measures largely still in force. A big thank you is due to every member of stsff. volunteers, and supporters who enabled the work of Connect to conlinue via various mechanisms during this difficutt time. Their hard work, commitment and generosty of time. skills, arKI funds provided the essential and varied support neSSary for Connect to continue offering a pla of safety, aCptance and hope to our clients. Praise God that, as lockdown measures have been relaxed. we have been able to return to a more normal ser1. Connect is a Charitable Trust with a Board of Trustees to provide governan on its operations. The Trustees share a common commitment to the work of cOnrt and provide support and guidance accordingly. The diversty and wealth of experience in the group is greatly valued. Trustees meet quarterly and immediately prior to the AGM., guidelines and responsibilities from the Charity Commission are obseed arKI regulatory requirements met as appropriate. Day to day, Connect is njn by the CEO. along with a support stsff of a Counselling Team Manager and Office Manager, all assisted by a team of voluntary helpers without whom the Servi would struggle. Operational decisions are made by the appropriate manager with reference to their line manager. ts CEO. who may seek advi from the Trustees as required. Connect continues to be a valuable resour in the community and is a BACP accredited servi, trusted by professionals and public alike. It gives a place of safety and confidentiality for those struggling with issues impacting their lives where counselling can offer healing and release to their srf(uation. The addition of lockdown restrictions and associated self-isolation have been shown to bring further difficufties to existing anxiety concerns and the impact ofthis on mental health remains despite the effects of the pandemic subsiding. 17
In Feb 2022 we were pleased to appoint a new CEO in Dr Ernrna Laporte. vtho joins us not only as a qualified counsellor but someone with a wealth of lÈfe experien in several spheres. The Trustees look fonNard to working with her as Connect moves forward in 2022. Col (retd) Steve Isherwood Chair of Trustees June 2022 18
