TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Wessex Counselling Service

The Trustees present the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022 which also comprises the Directors' Report required by the Companies Act 2006.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 2015).

Legal Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registered under the Companies Acts and its governing document is a memorandum and Articles of Association under company legislation. Its certificate of incorporation is dated 13 March 1996 and the last amendment to the governing document is dated 29 September 1997.

The charity registered with the Charity Commission on 21 June 1996.

By operation of law, all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation. The trustees are all individuals.

Method of Recruiting and Appointing New Charity Trustees

Trustees are elected by the Members of the charity at the Annual General Meeting: there must be no more than 10 trustees who must all be members of the charitable company. When recruiting new trustees, the Board considers any specialist skills needed, considering either existing or new areas of operation when seeking potential new candidates who could fulfil certain roles. They would then be proposed, elected and appointed by the management committee.

Organisational structure

The Board of Trustees administers the charity. The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces and are satisfied that systems are in place to adequately mitigate these risks.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Objectives, strategies and activities

The principal purpose of the charity is promoting, for the public benefit, psychological and mental health. Wessex does this by providing counselling to those suffering from psychological or emotional illness or distress and by training people to be psychodynamic counsellors and psychodynamic psychotherapists.

The trustees would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of everybody involved in Wessex Counselling which has enable the service to continue to offer counselling and training during the pandemic and its aftermath.

Change of Premises

Over the past few years, it had become obvious we had outgrown our premises at Fairfield House, Frome. Our trustees have led the project to find us new premises. This culminated in January 2022 when the service moved to No 5 King Street, Frome. Our new building has five counselling rooms and disabled access throughout the building. We obtained a grant to install a stairlift to enable staff and students who may have mobility issues to access the upper floor. We have also got funding to install a hearing loop in one of our counselling rooms and the training room so we can offer therapy and training to people with impaired hearing. We are committed to making our counselling and training accessible to all.

The move to new premises has resulted in extra costs and an increase in ongoing overheads however these are offset by being able to offer counselling to an increased number of people.

Counselling

We provide both long and short term professional low-cost psychodynamic counselling to clients aged 18 and above with a wide range of emotional problems in our premises in Bath, Bristol, Street, Frome and the surrounding area. The counselling service is accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Over this year we have continued to offer counselling sessions remotely though 83% of our clients are now being seen in person counselling. Referrals gradually increased during the year and over the year we were working with an average of 96 clients. We ended the financial year seeing 98 clients paying an average fee of £24.65.

Our bursary scheme has been called on to supported 23 clients over the year. We have allocated a totalled of £4,977 to support these clients who face financial difficulties to help them cover the cost of their counselling. This is an increase of 50% in both applications received and bursary money allocated. The trustees in support of our charitable aims consider it is vital that when a client is experiencing financial difficulties, they have support in place to help them with the issues they are experiencing.

We continue to offer a discounted assessment fee to clients on low incomes.

Training

During the year we have offered a wide range of training opportunities including running three Introduction to Counselling Skills Course, an Intensive Foundation Course, a year long Foundation Course, a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling, and a Counselling Children and Young People Post Graduate Diploma. We also offered a series of successful continuing professional development workshops, some of them on Zoom, to our own graduate counsellors and other therapists.

All courses have been well supported, and we have received applications from students prepared to travel considerable distance to undertake the trainings we offer. Our Diploma course is accredited by both the British Psychoanalytical Council and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means that our training is rigorous, externally accredited and of the highest standards. The training team works hard to ensure that we have continue to meet the requirements of our accrediting bodies. We have been able to recruit applicants for our diploma training course and have a full complement of trainees who started in September 2021. The success of our training courses is a key element of the ongoing success of the organisation.

Each year in November we hold a graduation evening where the organisation comes together to review the year and celebrate with people who have successfully completed their course. This is usually held in person but because of Covid restrictions we held the ceremony online and celebrated 27 people graduating from a variety of courses.

Youth Space Project

Our funding from Children in Need came to an end in September. After an unsuccessful application to Children in Need for funding to continue the project, it was decided that we would restructure the Youth Counselling to be less reliant on fund raising. The scheme now offers 12 counselling sessions which parents are asked to make a contribution to if they have the means to. For parents or young people not able to make a financial contribution the counselling is free. We did receive funding in June and July from Frome Selwood Rotary Club generously donated £2,500 to support the scheme and Somerset Community trust gave us a grant of £4,000. This has enabled the project to be secure for the next financial year.

We have worked in person with our Youth Space clients and have 41 referrals during the year and offered 30 young people counselling.

Staffing

There have been some changes to our team during the year and we acknowledge our gratitude to the following people for the expertise, dedication and skills they have bought to the organisation. Although some of them are leaving roles within the organisation they are continuing to do other work for us for those who have left Wessex Counselling we wish them well for the future.

Fund Raising Donations and Bursary Funding

Our trainee and associate counsellors generously gave 1714 voluntary counselling hours over the year. This represents a financial benefit to Wessex of £19,711 for which we are extremely grateful. It is important to recognise that without the support of the local community and our counsellors we would not be able to continue offering low cost counselling. We would like to acknowledge our gratitude to the following people and organisations who have contributed time and or money to Wessex Counselling.

Benefit for the public

Wessex Counselling was set up to provide affordable low-cost counselling to people in Bristol, Frome and the surrounding area and in conjunction with this to train psychodynamic counsellors and psychotherapists. By running a vibrant training service, we can subsidise the counselling we offer. We continue to raise funds as well as allocating funds from our reserves in order to subsidise the counselling we do. This enables the service to keep counselling sessions affordable and available to people in need. We also offer subsidised assessment sessions to prospective clients on a low income.

British Psychoanalytic Council Membership

As a membership organisation of the British Psychodynamic Council (BPC) we have a growing body of qualified psychodynamic counsellors and psychodynamic psychotherapists registered with the BPC through Wessex. With our recently qualified counsellors and psychotherapists becoming members we now have 60 members affiliated to Wessex. This body of members is important as we are committed to developing a community of registered psychodynamic counsellors and psychotherapists who work together to maintain professional standards and support our aim to provide professional low cost psychodynamic counselling. During the year members had the opportunity to attend a regular reading group.

Results and Reserve Policy

Despite the impact of the pandemic this has been a successful year for the counselling service as we continue to provide low-cost counselling to people in need and a well-regarded training programme. The result for the year shows a loss of £11,254 compared to the surplus of £21,833 for 2021. The money held in our general fund stands at £134,290.

The trustees have developed a reserves policy based on the amount of money required to close Wessex Counselling over a six-month period and honour our commitments to our clients, students and counsellors in training. At the start of each financial year the organisation looks at its liabilities and obligations for the following year and calculates what funds are required these figures are then reviewed on a quarterly basis. In 2021/22 we calculated that £81,212 needed to be held in permanent reserve to cover this. The figure that needs to be held for 2022/23 has increased substantially to £129,878 because of the increase in rent and overheads having moved premises.

At the end of 2021 we finalised negotiating a lease for a new premises in Frome. The service moved into the new premises at No 5 King Street, Frome.
