THE ROCK CLINIC ASSOCIATION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST OCTOBER 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy The board have determined that the unr¢slricted funds held by the charrty should be in excess of 3 months running costs. In 2023 we saw a steady increase in revenue more so in the later part of the year with the addf(ion of Rock Hove and the Increase ol the referral feelroom rental lo £9. As with the opening of Rock Wesl back in 2013 Several therapists mi9raled across lo Rock Hove from the other clinics meaning that there were more spaces across all three clini¢s and not necessarily a rise in income. However the planning of the increase in the referral feelroom rental for September 2023 meant that the overheads w$re generally met. The need for third clinic was evident when planning lo allocate the 2024 cohort for January 24 into the IV Clinics and we forecast that by September/Oclober 2025 we should be back up lo normal capacity in all three clinics. Al the end of October 2023 throughout the band$ we had a total of 140 therapists in the following 8chemes.'. 34 Trainoes. 38 Inlermedsote5, 30 Accredrted, 40 Senior Accredf(ed. Assessment numbers were up again in this financial year from 1178 in 2022 10 1271 with provision lo be able lo book an a5ses$menl within weeks. We continue lo have a huge number of recommendations whèn analysing the data. In 2023 our Glignls heard about the Rock Clini¢ by.."

The Rock Clini¢ ran a successful 30 week SupgTvi$ion Training cour50 starting in Sgplembgr 2023 for 30 weeks that brought a profil of £7,225 into the Clinic fund$.
