Trustees are proposed by the Management Committee at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and elected by the membership. Trustees are either ReVision graduates with an intimate knowledge of the running of the organisation or are drawn from the wider community for specialist knowledge they possess in fields such as finance, marketing, legal issues etc.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The 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 for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate systems of control, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any given time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

REVISION LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

For the year ended 31[st] December 2023

Risk Management

A risk register is regularly reviewed by the Trustees. The register outlines a number of potential risks to the organisation in relation to their strategic impact and analyses them by their potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, lays out preparation and mitigation plans and highlights current actions which need to be taken.

Matters considered include keeping up student numbers, staff retention, accreditation matters, recruitment and succession planning and future costs of premises etc as well as financial and legal compliance issues. These have all been the subject of detailed discussion at Trustee meetings as well as being recorded on the risk register.

Objectives and Activities (principal activity)

The objectives of the charity as specified in the Articles and Memorandum are to promote the preservation and protection of mental health, to advance education in mental health and related subjects and to relieve persons suffering from psychological, emotional or spiritual illness, dis-ease or distress. This will be achieved in particular by providing and assisting in the provision of workshops, classes, seminars, training, groups and conferences for counsellors and psychotherapists and for the general public; by providing, and assisting in the provision of, counselling and psychotherapy for those suffering illness or distress, their families and those who may care for them, and by providing support and assistance to those engaged in the helping professions (including counsellors and psychotherapists)

ReVision is an Educational Charity and the principal activity is delivering a high-quality training in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling (BACP and UKCP Accredited) and Psychotherapy (UKCP Accredited).

We also offer post-graduate courses in Clinical Supervision, Couple Counselling, Group Facilitation and a variety of short courses and workshops providing Continuous Professional Development opportunities for our own graduates and other suitably qualified practitioners.

Public Benefit

ReVision has continued to provide for public benefit through its educational and personal and professional development programme, including the bursary scheme for individuals who would not otherwise be able to access this opportunity. ReVision also provides a low-cost counselling service which is open to all members of the local and wider community to improve mental health and well-being. This service has become more and more necessary with the difficulties experienced in funding by other organisations in the mental health field leaving gaps in provision and the service has been expanding slowly over the last few years.

Status

The Charity is constituted as a non-profit educational company no. 02789040 and a charity no. 1068739 and is governed by the Memorandum of Association and Constitution as amended in January 2017.

REVISION LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

For the year ended 31[st] December 2023

Mission statement

ReVision aims to change people’s quality of life – to catalyse psychological, social and spiritual transformation.

We accomplish this through combining clinical excellence and soulful care in our counselling and psychotherapy training, public courses and affordable counselling.

We aim to provide greater accessibility to counselling and psychotherapy by embracing difference and challenging oppression both within the ReVision community and in our relations with the public.

Membership

There are six categories of members:

Volunteers

The organisation does not currently make use of volunteers.

Achievements and Performance

After a period of recruitment we were delighted to welcome Cathy Lasher to the ReVision community as Training Director in September 2023. During the autumn 2023 Cathy had many meetings with ReVision team members and students and began to formulate strategic priorities for the year. As part of this she has been continuing the ongoing work of updating and diversifying ReVision’s reading lists and curriculum, to which so many members of the training team have already usefully contributed, to ensure that ReVision is actively antioppressive, both as an organisation and also in respect of the training of our students.

REVISION LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

For the year ended 31[st] December 2023

In the absence of a Training Director for the majority of 2023 we consciously kept training and curriculum changes to a minimum. In the autumn we again ran one of our post-graduate programmes, ReVision Supervision Training with great interest and 20 participants beginning in November and there are a number of students from previous cohorts who are progressing through the second Diploma year.

The ReVision Community is a core part of ReVision, which is growing in number and depth as we learn to listen and bear with each other. There have been some healthy debates over the last year, not always comfortable, but a sign of a community who are beginning to hold and work with differing perspectives. The Community Forum met four times, offering the opportunity for students, staff, trustees, admin, graduate, LCCS reps time to meet and talk. Workshops over the last year have included Death Cafes and the monthly Black Lives Matter group. A Community Peace Vigil was offered to bring people together and hold vigil for the world’s troubled places.

In 2022-23 we have continued to uphold our mission of providing in-house accessible and affordable counselling to individuals in need. This has been in tandem with the continued provision of online counselling. Throughout this year we had 12 counsellors working, with a minimum of two to three clients each.

Financial Review

The investment in the organisation which began in 2022 continued in 2023, with the increased training team fees and staff salaries and greater organisational support to meet the needs of the larger training cohorts. In the absence of a Training Director in 2022-23, we consciously kept training and curriculum changes to a minimum during this academic year, including delaying running our post-graduate courses which can bring in significant income, with our Supervision Course only beginning in autumn 2023. In addition we did not have the resources to bring back and increase Income from our internal consulting room hire. The result is that for 2023 we are reporting a deficit of £70,353.

Since the induction of the new Training Director a primary focus of the Directors and Trustees has been building up the additional streams of income, focusing on CPD activity in order to begin to improve the reserves position. Despite this work beginning in 2023 the results are being seen in 2024 and so have not impacted this financial period.

Reserves and Investment Policy

The reserves policy was fully reviewed in early 2018 by the Trustees when it was agreed that the reserve should be adequate to fully cover all costs and commitments should unforeseen circumstances mean that organisational closure would be the most logical step for ReVision. That sum has been assessed as between £70,000 and £75,000. This figure was confirmed again in 2020 as being appropriate.

The reserves have now been reduced to £29,973 and the Trustees and Directors are monitoring the financial position regularly to work towards increasing this. There is a strong commitment to maintaining the infrastructure that supports the high quality delivery of training and counselling services, benefiting the therapeutic space across the UK. Expenditure has been reviewed to ensure we are working as efficiently as possible, including freezing fee and salary rates and reviewing recruitment needs. There are also a number of new training offers in place to begin in 2024-25 which will introduce new income streams.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF REVISION LIMITED

In order to assist you to fulfil your duties under the Companies Act 2006, we have compiled the financial statements of the company which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position and the related notes from the accounting records and information and explanations you have given to us.

This report is made to the company's Committee Members who are the directors of ReVision Limited for the purpose of company law and who also act as Trustees for the charitable activities of ReVision Limited and are responsible for the preparation of financial statements.

Our work has been undertaken so that we might compile the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, report to the company's members that we have done so and state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members for our work or for this report.

We have carried out this engagement in accordance with guidance issued by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and have complied with the ethical guidance laid down by the Association relating to members undertaking the compilation of financial statements. You have acknowledged on statement of financial position for the year ended 31 December 2023 your duty to ensure that the company has kept proper accounting records and to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view under the Companies Act 2006.

You consider that an audit is not required for this period (under s43(2) of the Charities Act 1993, as amended by s28 of the Charities Act 2006) and we have not therefore been instructed to carry out an audit of the financial statements. For this reason, we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to us and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present and true and fair view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

In the course of our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

  1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with s41 Charities Act 1993, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or

  2. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
