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

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 ac￿ssible 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 cOn￿mS 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 COn￿mS with their counsellor, but it can make a real
differen￿ to someone's life. Seventy-six per￿nt 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 re￿nty re￿iVed 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
ne￿Ssary. 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.-

VALO￿11 . 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 cOn￿ms.
-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.

- 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

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.

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 prQ￿sseS 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.

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.

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 pro￿ureS induding named personnel and two signatories required on any bank

Running a servits on donations and requested funding is challengtng, and without our

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 e1￿ible 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 SoUr￿S 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 h￿her 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.

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 a￿1 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 ne￿SSary for Connect to continue offering a pla￿ of safety, aC￿ptance
and hope to our clients. Praise God that, as lockdown measures have been relaxed. we have
been able to return to a more normal ser￿1￿.
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 cOnr￿t 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 obse￿ed 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.

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.
