For
The Light House (Christian Care Ministry) Trust Limited
Registered Company Number: 3236785 (England and Wales)
Registered Charity Number: 1064132

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
The Trustees who are also directors of The Light House (Christian Care Ministry) Trust Limited for the
purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and
application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that
year. In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to:
• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
• Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent and
• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the
financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for
safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and
detection of fraud and other irregularities.
PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES
Purpose and aims
The main purpose is the provision of professional, accessible and affordable counselling.
The way in which the Charity achieves this it's purpose:
1. Through restoring psychological, emotional, spiritual, and physical health
2. Through alleviating individual suffering and distress
3. Through improving the quality of human relationships
Grant making
No grants were made in the year under review.

Main activities
During the year under review, the Charity has continued to realise these objectives through
providing a counselling service for the advancement of health or saving of lives.
The Light House vision continues to be to see a world where people are emotionally, psychologically
and spiritually well and are enabled and supported to reach their full potential. Our mission is to
provide affordable, accessible quality counselling to all in need. Our aim is to provide a safe, non-
judgemental space of acceptance and empathic understanding, to relieve and provide relief from
distress or suffering, to promote emotional health and wellbeing, to enable healthier relationships
and to remove the 'not good' of feeling alone.
Our Agency is based in Coventry and provides a general counselling service to the people of
Coventry, Warwickshire and surrounding areas and is a service that is open to all adults over the age
of 18 regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability and to people of faith or
none.
The Charity continues to provide clinical supervision to our in-house Associate (volunteers)
Counsellors, who all hold a professional qualification and to Student Counsellors who are with us on
placement whilst they are studying for their counselling qualifications. We also provide supervision
to counsellors who are external to The Light House, which provides an extra source of income to the
Agency.
The Light House is able to see clients who require counselling support for a wide range of issues,
including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, abuse of all kinds, bereavement,
loss and relationship issue, which also includes couples.
We aim to provide a very high standard of professionalism and expertise in our counselling practice.
Regular Clinical Supervision is a requirement for all counsellors by their respective professional
bodies, such as BACP, ACC and UKCP. All Light House counsellors have regular monthly clinical
supervision, both as a requirement and also as a commitment to continue to maintain ethical and
safe practice.
The demand for our service throughout this financial year continued to be high, which is due in part
to being a long established charity in Coventry since 1986 and being known as a counselling service
that is both professional and affordable. Both in-person counselling and online sessions
are something that we have continued to provide, to ensure the service is accessible to all.
VOLUNTEERS
The Trustees would once again like to express our most grateful thanks to the Counselling Staff,
Fund Raiser, Administrative Personnel, and all its volunteers (counsellors and administration), for
their commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who call on The Light House for its
services. Without our Volunteers The Light House would not be able to see as many clients each
year, as we currently do. Our volunteers are the life blood of our charity and we would not function

well without them. Additional funding allows us to provide a bursary to those clients who would
struggle to access counselling elsewhere, due to their inability to pay. Gaining funding to cover our
core costs continues to be very challenging, but essential to our continued existence as a counselling
service.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During the year to 31 March 2025 the following client numbers were served. Equivalent 2023-24
figures in are in brackets where available.
243 (237) initial assessment interviews were carried out, of which 21 were couples, with 241
individuals and 20 couples going on to receive counselling. This is in addition to those continuing to
receive counselling from the previous year making a total of 340 clients counselled.
The employment status and household income of clients is as shown below, resulting in many of
them being unable to pay the minimum requested fee of £20 per session.

Additionally, those clients in receipt of benefits were as shown
to the left.
A counselling session at The Light House costs £45, inclusive of all organisation costs. The Light
House needs to meet the deficit in funding for any client fee that falls short of the £45 it costs us to
provide. Many of our clients are unable to cover the full cost of their counselling sessions. One way
we aim to continue to enable people with limited financial resources to receive our support is by
using bursary funding that has been sought for specific areas. Current examples include retirees,
(Twilight), 18-25-year-olds (Bridges) and those with a disability (Pathlight). These Bursaries are a
way by which a client can pay f5 per session for 6-8 sessions rather than our minimum £20 session
fee.
Another means by which we can support clients who are struggling financially is via The Light House
Support fund. This is a fund that is made up of grants and donations and enables Light House to offer
reduced cost counselling to those in need who may not qualify for a bursary or perhaps still require

counselling support after their bursary funding has ended. Financial challenges can compound
anxiety and stress (our highest presenting factor) so we are working hard to continue to deliver
affordable and accessible counselling to those in need. We continue to believe that good mental,
emotional and relational health should not be the privilege of those who are not financially
compromised.
Light House assessment interviews are carried out by members of the staff counselling team and
each client is assessed to ensure that there is no risk of harm to the client either from themselves or
others, that there is no risk of harm to the counsellor or Agency and are also assessed to ensure that
the client is able to benefit from counselling and that there is no psychopathology present that may
also impact on the client's ability to benefit from counselling. If a client is also accessing
psychological services, then the client's psychiatrist or psychologist would be contacted to ensure
that they are in agreement that counselling will benefit them and there are no other risk factors we
should be aware of.

With regard to age, the largest group still fall within the 18-24 and 25-
29 year old categories. Coventry is very much a University town, with
both Coventry & Warwick universities within the
city of Coventry which may well explain this situation, with students
struggling to cope with the
pressures of study, managing finances and being away from home, all
of which were impacting on
their mental health.

It is perhaps worthy of note that 80% of Light House clients report that they have received support
from no other services, whilst only 4% have received support from Social Services, 3% from
Community Mental Health, 1% each from Mind and CGL, with 11% from others and 1% having not
answered the question.
Of the Issues present in clients, Anxiety/Stress and Interpersonal/Relationship issues stand out at the
top with the full breakdown of Issues shown below. The Light House counsellors work from a trauma
informed approach, so rather than the question "What's wrong with you?" the question is "What's
happened to you?" this removes any sense of blame or judgement that the client may feel if asked
the first question.

Below are some of the comments received from clients ending their counselling.
Welcomed and felt at ease. Everything explained clearly and the procedures.
Still have a lot of traumas to work through and issues
I have been diabetic for over 22 years it has only got worse, never improved for long. Along with that I
have other issues a long side diabetes. Been going through Perimenopause last 5/6 years
Welcomed brilliantly by staff
My counsellor has been absolutely brilliant and supportive and fantastic
No need to access other NHS services
The nhs give absolutely no help at all even when asked
very clear and effective communication
My relationship has significantly improved and in a much better place emotionally.
The sessions have helped me address the helplessness I have felt in some situations.
I have used mental health counselling services but this has been more helpful.
My counsellor asked helpful and insightful questions that allowed me to reflect and process difficult
issues. I have found a new stability in my emotions and relationships that has been tested. She listened
to me and helped me to summarise and direct my thoughts and feelings.
was very welcomed and well informed of the process.
My counsellor helped me realise I can only control my actions and not those of others and how to deal
with them appropriately.

The following is a typical story of a client receiving counselling at the Light House -
"I came to The Light House as I felt so low. I was in an abusive/controlling relationship and
was crying all the time, I felt like there was no way out. Then I lost my mother and 1 have
never felt so low. My daughter kept me going, but inside I felt like / was dying and unable to
grieve the loss of my mother because of the abuse / was being put through. Since I came for
counselling I felt I could open up and talk without feeling ashamed, I could talk about things /
felt too embarrassed to tell friends and family. I've realised how to break free from toxic
relationships and break the cycle / have been in for many years due to childhood trauma.
Physically and emotionally I feel so much better and have been able to grieve the loss of my
mother and find myself again being free from abuse and finding some self-love/respect that
had been lost."
Other Activities & Information
A talk on managing stress was given to the local community within the Two Tone village on Ball Hill
in Coventry. A volunteer BBQ was held to express our thanks to the Light House Volunteers for their
commitment which so greatly supports the work of the Light House. Two training seminars were
held for volunteer and staff counsellors; one in conjunction with Relate and Haven, and one on
infant loss.
We extend our grateful thanks to the Grant Making Trusts that have supported The Light House
during this financial year.
At the close of the financial year the permanent staff numbered 1 full-time Counsellor/Manager, 4
part-time Staff Counsellors, plus 2 part-time Staff Administrators, 1 part-time Fundraiser and a
Cleaner. The staff were ably assisted by 22 volunteer counsellors, comprised mainly of qualified
counsellors and a small number of students who were on placement with the agency as a
requirement of their training provider, whilst studying for a counselling qualification.

incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 1A Argyll Street, Coventry, West Midlands, CV2

1.3
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the
Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting
and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommendec
Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standaro
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by
FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of
cash flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest E.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the
revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair
value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees
continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.5
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a
third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of
the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and
shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single
activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and
support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis
consistent with the use
of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and
depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
1.6
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of
depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their
useful lives on the following bases:
Land and property
Improvements to property
Fixtures and fittings
no depreciation
10% straight line basis
20% straight line basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds
and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment
loss (if any).
1.8
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12
'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method
unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is
measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets
classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless
the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable
within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
received.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed
to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12 Winding up of the trust
In early 1996 the Trustees took a decision to change the legal status of the Charity from a Trust to a Company
Limited by Guarantee, This Company was registered on the 12th August 1996 and the agreements relating to
the premises were drawn up in its name. There were delays in obtaining Charity Commission registration for
the Company however and consequently the Trust has continued to operate as before. On 31st March 1998
the Trustees executed a Supplementary Deed which wound up the Trust and passed all its operations and
assets to the Charitable Company which will continue the Charity's operations henceforth.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that
are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that
period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future
periods.
