WelcometoRelate Nottinghamshire ANNUALandIMPACTReportforyear2020/2021

Looking Back over 2020/21:Paul Dunnery Chief Executive Officer

This was the year that our free 30-minute telephone counselling service started thanks to funding from National Lottery Awards for All. Initially set up as a response to the Pandemic the free counselling is now integrated into our core service delivery. We want to thank Nottinghamshire County Council who funded us to deliver four free counselling sessions for people on low or no income. This helped over 25 couples and families access counselling who would not have been able to afford it.As part of our diversification of services we are now offering Divorce Mediation and Trauma Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing. Mediation offers a legally binding option to separating couples and is more cost effective than using a solicitor. The EMDR service provides treatment-based therapy to help with all kinds of previous trauma. We are genuine in our commitment to diversity in everything we do. This year we were proud to work alongside Rankin the photographer as we promoted our campaign Let’s Talk the Joy of Later Life Sex. Our commitment to good mental health for all continues as we work with business and other organisations delivering Mental Health First Aid training to staff and volunteers.

Looking Forward 2021/22: Tricia Wray Chair of Trustees Relate Nottinghamshire

Our counselling service is now largely delivered online, to the satisfaction of most clients and staff. Our current premises are therefore too large, and generally not fit for purpose. We are looking for new, fully accessible premises with excellent broadband so we can offer a hybrid service – digital and in-person. We will be investing in laptops for counsellors, improving our website and becoming a service that meets the needs of clients in all parts of the city and county. We will continue to seek funding to enable us to offer free or reduced cost counselling to those who cannot afford our fees; this is one of our major challenges.

FinancialSummary2020/21: Rod Smith Treasurer Relate Nottinghamshire

In come was £227,000 compared with £230,000 in the previous year.Income from client counseling was £133,000 compared to 140,000 previous year. Grants and donations showed a good increase at £57,000. Income from contracted work decreased to £23,000 as our contracts drew to their conclusions.

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Objectives and activities

The principal activities of the company are the general provision of relationship counselling and psychosexual therapy together with life skills training, to the people of Nottinghamshire.

Achievements

The year was a difficult one which changed our whole way of working from face to face counselling to mostly all sessions being delivered on-line on zoom.

Our greatest achievement in this year was our ability to adapt and change in order to be able to deliver our services. We applied for and were very successful in getting grants which greatly helped us to continue our vital work and even expand on our services.

One of these services was the introduction of half hour free counselling sessions to vulnerable people on low income and this service has now been further funded for 2021/2022.

Our successful migration from face to face counselling to on-line services is now here to stay and has been a great achievement.

Organisational Structure

The organisation is controlled by the Board of Trustees, who meet six times per annum. It is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the Charity, developing its aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the Articles of Association, legal requirements and regulatory guidelines.

Structure, governance and management

The Trustees for the year are as shown below. Each Trustee is a member and a director of the company for purposes of the Companies Act. The liability of each member is limited to £1.

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees of Relate Nottinghamshire have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting when reviewing the organisation's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities contribute to the stated aims and objectives. The aims and objectives are reviewed annually and compare the outcomes of each key activity with the benefit brought to those people identified in need of support through counselling. Consideration is given to the accessibility of its services and that its objectives for equal access are being met.

The objects for which Relate Nottinghamshire is established are:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Statement of Common Purpose

Relate's role is to help people build better couple relationships by:

Relate aims to deliver its services with cultural sensitivity and without discrimination. It believes that:

Activities

Relate Nottinghamshire is a recognised expert provider of relationship counselling and its mission is to help people improve their relationships through quality counselling and life skills education. It is therefore committed both to maintaining the highest standards in service delivery and to being responsive to the needs of users in developing its services. The services available to clients in Nottinghamshire include:-

Our core work also subsumes:-

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Counselling services are delivered to members of the public at Relate premises and outposts, when they are asked to pay what they can reasonably afford toward the cost of counselling. There is a bursary fund available to contribute to the cost of counselling of those people in poverty or of limited financial resources. Where we are funded to deliver a service to a particular community, working in partnership with other organisations, then counselling is free at the point of delivery. We also provide counselling under contract for some local employers.

Demand for our services comes mainly through self-referral, along with signposting from General Practitioners and other agencies. Clients are given an initial assessment of their needs and whether our service is appropriate for them.

The organisation is fully committed to the active promotion of equal opportunities in its employment practices, in the delivery of its services and all its other activities. The organisation's work is based upon its Statement of Common Purpose, which includes the acceptance that in a diverse society its concept of marriage and other committed adult relationships, must encompass differing cultural understandings. The services delivered are not dependent on any one theoretical or professional view of marriage, family or sexual relationships. Nor, since its work is for the benefit of the whole community, can it be committed to any one sectional, social, political, cultural or religious view of marriage.

Summary Financial Report

Full details of the financial activities of the charity are available separately and this account is a very brief description of the results.

The current financial situation has continued to be challenging due to a continued lack of local government funding. However our income has been greatly improved due grants received in the financial year.

Values are given to the nearest thousand. The overall result for the year 2020/21 was a surplus of income of £11k This resulted in an increase in net assets to £293k for the year against £281k at the beginning of the year. This includes the value of the premises in Nottingham of £208k.

Expenditure for 2020/2021 was £214k compared with £244k in 2019/20. This was due to cost-cutting where ever possible.

Income was £227k compared with £230k in the previous year. Income from relationship counselling was the greatest decrease which was £156k compared with £200k in 2019/20, this is mostly due to COVID-19 causing March 2020 income to be drastically down.

Grants and donations were £57k compared to previous year of £22k.

Risk Management

The Trustees have had regular meetings throughout the year to identify and deal with any risks to the charity by the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

This work has identified that the financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity and has worked on applying for new funding to ease this. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to make sure we have sufficient working capital to meet all our financial obligations.

Attention has also been focused on non-financial risks i.e. fire, health and safety. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas.

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Reserves Policy

The Trustees wish to maintain a level of reserves which will enable the charity to meet its financial obligations should there be a temporary reduction in planned income. The reserves policy is reviewed annually and Trustees agreed to set the level of reserves needed at three month's running costs. They confirm that the reserves held at 31 March 202 1 were adequate for this purpose.

Recruitment and Appointment of Executive Committee

The directors/Trustees under the Company's Articles are known as members of the Executive Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Executive Committee are elected to serve for a period of one year but are eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Executive Committee has the power to elect members in the period between Annual General Meetings for the purpose of filling vacancies, and to co-opt members.

All previously elected members of the Executive Committee offer themselves for re-election.

The Executive Committee seeks to ensure that a diversity of social/cultural backgrounds and a broad skill mix are represented among its members. Business, medical, legal and IT are represented as well as a wide range of experience in social care field and in public service. Each member of the Executive Committee is asked to take responsibility for a particular 'area of interest' ranging from fundraising, to health and safety, equality and diversity etc. In the event of particular skills being lost due to retirement individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Executive Committee.

Trustee induction and training

Potential new directors/Trustees will in the first instance be invited to a meeting with the Chair, and will subsequently meet with the Centre Manager at the Relate Nottinghamshire offices. This is an opportunity to find out more about the organisation, the challenges it faces, its expectations of Trustees, and the opportunities for becoming involved in its work. The prospective member is provided with a copy of the Trustee Induction Pack which provides a wide variety of information including:-

The applicant is usually asked to attend three meetings of the Executive Committee before it is mutually decided whether to proceed with the appointment to a directorship. During this period a register of interests and CRB check is also completed.

COVID-19

Relate Nottinghamshire continued to abide by all the different Government Covid-19 laws and regulations. But because of the layout of the building we occupy we continued with our policy of nearly all counselling sessions being done on-line.

The exception was when some of the Government restrictions were lifted two of our Counsellors started a few face to face sessions in a controlled safe environment and in rooms on different floors of the building.

The CEO and Administration staff were organised to work full or part time from home to also reduce the number of staff within the building. And with a replacement telephone system that enables calls to be taken without the need to be present in the building we were able to maintain a service with our clients.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Relate Nottinghamshire is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 96 Mansfield Road, Nottingham, NG1 3HD.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 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 2019)". 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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

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.

1.2 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.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds which have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements .

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

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:

Freehold land and buildings 1% straight line basis Office equipment 25% reducing balance basis Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance basis Computers 33% 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 net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1.8 Retirement benefits

The company participates in a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged as expenditure represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

1.9 Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive d or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met . Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable . A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Objectives and activities

The principal activities of the company are the general provision of relationship counselling and psychosexual therapy together with life skills training, to the people of Nottinghamshire.

Achievements

The year was a difficult one which changed our whole way of working from face to face counselling to mostly all sessions being delivered on-line on zoom.

Our greatest achievement in this year was our ability to adapt and change in order to be able to deliver our services. We applied for and were very successful in getting grants which greatly helped us to continue our vital work and even expand on our services.

One of these services was the introduction of half hour free counselling sessions to vulnerable people on low income and this service has now been further funded for 2021/2022.

Our successful migration from face to face counselling to on-line services is now here to stay and has been a great achievement.

Organisational Structure

The organisation is controlled by the Board of Trustees, who meet six times per annum. It is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the Charity, developing its aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the Articles of Association, legal requirements and regulatory guidelines.

Structure, governance and management

The Trustees for the year are as shown below. Each Trustee is a member and a director of the company for purposes of the Companies Act. The liability of each member is limited to £1.

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees of Relate Nottinghamshire have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting when reviewing the organisation's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities contribute to the stated aims and objectives. The aims and objectives are reviewed annually and compare the outcomes of each key activity with the benefit brought to those people identified in need of support through counselling. Consideration is given to the accessibility of its services and that its objectives for equal access are being met.

The objects for which Relate Nottinghamshire is established are:

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Statement of Common Purpose

Relate's role is to help people build better couple relationships by:

Relate aims to deliver its services with cultural sensitivity and without discrimination. It believes that:

Activities

Relate Nottinghamshire is a recognised expert provider of relationship counselling and its mission is to help people improve their relationships through quality counselling and life skills education. It is therefore committed both to maintaining the highest standards in service delivery and to being responsive to the needs of users in developing its services. The services available to clients in Nottinghamshire include:-

Our core work also subsumes:-

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Counselling services are delivered to members of the public at Relate premises and outposts, when they are asked to pay what they can reasonably afford toward the cost of counselling. There is a bursary fund available to contribute to the cost of counselling of those people in poverty or of limited financial resources. Where we are funded to deliver a service to a particular community, working in partnership with other organisations, then counselling is free at the point of delivery. We also provide counselling under contract for some local employers.

Demand for our services comes mainly through self-referral, along with signposting from General Practitioners and other agencies. Clients are given an initial assessment of their needs and whether our service is appropriate for them.

The organisation is fully committed to the active promotion of equal opportunities in its employment practices, in the delivery of its services and all its other activities. The organisation's work is based upon its Statement of Common Purpose, which includes the acceptance that in a diverse society its concept of marriage and other committed adult relationships, must encompass differing cultural understandings. The services delivered are not dependent on any one theoretical or professional view of marriage, family or sexual relationships. Nor, since its work is for the benefit of the whole community, can it be committed to any one sectional, social, political, cultural or religious view of marriage.

Summary Financial Report

Full details of the financial activities of the charity are available separately and this account is a very brief description of the results.

The current financial situation has continued to be challenging due to a continued lack of local government funding. However our income has been greatly improved due grants received in the financial year.

Values are given to the nearest thousand. The overall result for the year 2020/21 was a surplus of income of £11k This resulted in an increase in net assets to £293k for the year against £281k at the beginning of the year. This includes the value of the premises in Nottingham of £208k.

Expenditure for 2020/2021 was £214k compared with £244k in 2019/20. This was due to cost-cutting where ever possible.

Income was £227k compared with £230k in the previous year. Income from relationship counselling was the greatest decrease which was £156k compared with £200k in 2019/20, this is mostly due to COVID-19 causing March 2020 income to be drastically down.

Grants and donations were £57k compared to previous year of £22k.

Risk Management

The Trustees have had regular meetings throughout the year to identify and deal with any risks to the charity by the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

This work has identified that the financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity and has worked on applying for new funding to ease this. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to make sure we have sufficient working capital to meet all our financial obligations.

Attention has also been focused on non-financial risks i.e. fire, health and safety. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff working in these operational areas.

RELATE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Reserves Policy

The Trustees wish to maintain a level of reserves which will enable the charity to meet its financial obligations should there be a temporary reduction in planned income. The reserves policy is reviewed annually and Trustees agreed to set the level of reserves needed at three month's running costs. They confirm that the reserves held at 31 March 202 1 were adequate for this purpose.

Recruitment and Appointment of Executive Committee

The directors/Trustees under the Company's Articles are known as members of the Executive Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Executive Committee are elected to serve for a period of one year but are eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Executive Committee has the power to elect members in the period between Annual General Meetings for the purpose of filling vacancies, and to co-opt members.

All previously elected members of the Executive Committee offer themselves for re-election.

The Executive Committee seeks to ensure that a diversity of social/cultural backgrounds and a broad skill mix are represented among its members. Business, medical, legal and IT are represented as well as a wide range of experience in social care field and in public service. Each member of the Executive Committee is asked to take responsibility for a particular 'area of interest' ranging from fundraising, to health and safety, equality and diversity etc. In the event of particular skills being lost due to retirement individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Executive Committee.

Trustee induction and training

Potential new directors/Trustees will in the first instance be invited to a meeting with the Chair, and will subsequently meet with the Centre Manager at the Relate Nottinghamshire offices. This is an opportunity to find out more about the organisation, the challenges it faces, its expectations of Trustees, and the opportunities for becoming involved in its work. The prospective member is provided with a copy of the Trustee Induction Pack which provides a wide variety of information including:-

The applicant is usually asked to attend three meetings of the Executive Committee before it is mutually decided whether to proceed with the appointment to a directorship. During this period a register of interests and CRB check is also completed.

COVID-19

Relate Nottinghamshire continued to abide by all the different Government Covid-19 laws and regulations. But because of the layout of the building we occupy we continued with our policy of nearly all counselling sessions being done on-line.

The exception was when some of the Government restrictions were lifted two of our Counsellors started a few face to face sessions in a controlled safe environment and in rooms on different floors of the building.

The CEO and Administration staff were organised to work full or part time from home to also reduce the number of staff within the building. And with a replacement telephone system that enables calls to be taken without the need to be present in the building we were able to maintain a service with our clients.

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Relate Nottinghamshire is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 96 Mansfield Road, Nottingham, NG1 3HD.

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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 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.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

1.5 Expenditure recognition

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:

Freehold land and buildings 1% straight line basis Office equipment 25% reducing balance basis Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance basis Computers 33% 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 net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1.8 Retirement benefits

The company participates in a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged as expenditure represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

1.9 Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive d or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met . Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable . A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
