NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

The Trustees, who are also members and directors of the charitable company for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and accounts for the year ended 30 September 2020.

The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and 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) published on 16 July 2014.

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The charity’s objectives (as amended on 10 May 2013) are:

The charity’s trustees have complied with their duty in Section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Achievements, performance and plans for future periods.

In the period covered by this report, 473 assessments were conducted and our team of 39 counsellors delivered 8,329 counselling sessions. In addition to our existing clients, many of whom are receiving long term therapy, we were able to offer counselling to 379 new clients (329 adults and 50 children).

NRCS has experienced another very challenging year in which every operational aspect of our organisation has continued to be severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. With restrictions remaining in place for much of the year and mindful that our work involves working with many people in the vulnerable category (susceptible to Covid), we have largely continued to deliver counselling via remote platforms such as zoom or by telephone. We began a gradual re-opening of the counselling centre in September, marking a slow return to face-to-face counselling.

At the beginning of the Pandemic in the previous year, about 80% of our clients who were receiving faceto-face counselling, switched to remote delivery and maintained their session payments at similar levels. As new clients have been taken on, we have had to adopt a more flexible view on session donations, in many cases accepting reduced amounts. Much of our client demographic has been hit hard by the pandemic with reduced working hours and job losses. The rise in the cost of living is also affecting donation levels and this is reflected in the total donations for counselling sessions of £66,024 down from £74,981 for the previous year, with a very similar total of sessions delivered overall.

NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

In addition, remote delivery also meant a switch to electronic payments and with present staffing levels and systems generally geared towards cash payments at reception, NRCS have struggled to monitor session donations. We have recently put in place an effective monitoring system of cross checking the bank statements with present client lists. Sue Doyle, an NRCS Director and Michelle, are working on this together on a monthly basis to ensure donations are paid and at agreed amounts.

We re-opened the counselling centre for a phased return to face-to-face sessions in September with enhanced safety measures in place. Although numbers have been slow in returning, we are now seeing a steady trend, moving towards previous pandemic attendance levels. It is anticipated that client numbers paying cash at reception will rise and help to alleviate monitoring requirements. It should be noted that we will continue to offer remote counselling in addition to ‘in person’ sessions.

Demand for counselling has continued to grow and we are seeing sharp rises in anxiety related issues connected to the impact, or legacy of covid, particularly related to previous extended lockdown periods and isolation. Loss of confidence, social anxiety and fears around new variants of the disease, particularly amongst vulnerable people, are impacting the community which we serve. We delivered 35 additional sessions against the previous year, with fewer counsellors (35). Assessments are conducted as quickly as possible and clients allocated to counsellors shortly after assessment, but our waiting list however, is growing significantly reflecting the increased demand.

For much of the year, covid lockdowns and social distance requirements have curtailed our usual fundraising efforts and associated income streams. The Charity shop was re-opened in April however, many of the volunteers who previously worked in the shop were in the vulnerable category and remained shielding. Recruiting new volunteers has taken time and the shop was for a number of months, open on a reduced hour’s basis. Since September, the shop has been fully open and we are beginning to see income streams returning to near pre-pandemic levels.

Our fund raising programme which has been shut down since the pandemic began, has been re-activated and planning of future fund raising events began in September. Several events have taken place during October and November which were successful. With the removal of social distancing requirements, a full programme of events is now planned throughout 2022.

NRCS have for some time, enjoyed a close working alliance with Thoros, an educational facility operated by Rosalind Russell which teaches accredited counselling courses. NRCS accepts a number of students each year for their clinical placement work, which is a conditional requirement in order to complete their professional counselling training to become qualified counsellors.

In June, Rosalind notified the NRCS board of directors that she was reviewing her professional commitments with a view to reducing working hours and was considering stepping back from Thoros. More focussed discussions identified opportunities for NRCS to take ownership and continue to operate Thoros with Rosalind remaining in post as its principle and supported by NRCS staff. The Vice Principle and existing course Tutors will also remain in place. Detailed negotiations and agreements were completed in August and the formal acquisition was completed on the 1[st] of September.

NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

It should be noted that Thoros has achieved a rating of ‘outstanding’ by an external Assessor for the National Counselling Society.

Thoros represents several key opportunities for NRCS. It is believed that there are very few counselling services – if any, who are able to provide recognised, accredited counselling courses. It adds power to the ‘NRCS’ brand and raises the organisations profile both in professional circles and in terms of our public reach and social engagement. A marketing campaign is being planned to engage with potential clients and students alike.

In financial terms, based on a review of a number of previous year’s accounts, it is anticipated that Thoros will deliver a revenue stream of approx. £18K - £20K per annum. With September being the start of the academic year, many students have pre-paid their course fees, with over £13k being received. Much of this income has had to be apportioned due to payments for future work. In this regard, the bulk of the income will therefore appear in the next set of accounts. It is anticipated that some students will pay throughout the year with amounts contributing to monthly totals significantly smaller than total income received by Thoros during September.

It is anticipated that by bringing ownership under the umbrella of NRCS, it will assist with access and influence to Counsellors who are willing to offer their services in supporting NRCS to deliver affordable, professional counselling, hopefully enabling an up lift in total sessions delivered.

In June Solicitors acting for the estate of Mrs Murthwaite, notified the Trustees of a legacy of £77,761. This incredible amount of money was completely unexpected and a subsequent review of NRCS records showed no indication of Mrs Murthwaite ever having attended counselling. An interim payment of £70,000 was initially made and the balance of £7,761 was recently received. The Trustees are presently considering a range of potential projects and priorities which some of the money could fund. A priority list, together with potential budgets and timescales is presently being drafted for discussion and voting. It is intended that some of the money will be kept in reserve and will be discussed at the March board meeting.

It is anticipated that a priority project will be the launch of a new mobile counselling facility. NRCS successfully operated such a service some years ago and the idea has been recently discussed prior to the legacy notification. Research is presently underway to identify needs and opportunities. If research indicates a demand for this service, the Trustees will develop a budget/business plan to move the project forward.

NRCS were successful in securing a grant of £30,000 restricted funds from Tudor Trust to support the costs of an assistant coordinator. The grant represents contributions for two years and £15,000 of this is shown in this year’s accounts. Following interviews with a range of applicants, an assistant coordinator has been appointed and started in September. Siobhan has a range of core skills and commercial experience which will support the operational needs of NRCS moving forward. Siobhan has quickly demonstrated a broad understanding of our operational priorities as we move beyond the restrictions and limitations caused by the pandemic. Part of her role will be to complete grant funding applications as we look to increase total revenues. Siobhan has shown early initiative and considerable success in assisting with several recent fundraising events and has taken a lead role in overseeing the charity shop operation.

NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

To support Siobhan’s efforts and in line with the Trustees priority to significantly upscale grant funding applications, a workshop is being arranged with an experienced bid writer (a board members son-in-law), to assist in developing a strategy to focus on this key objective and improve the quality of applications.

In summary, NRCS has experienced another very difficult year however, with a stable and cohesive management team, the trustees, staff and volunteers have worked together to successfully navigate and mitigate the unprecedented impact of the pandemic. The team are thrilled to have added value to the NRCS brand, with the acquisition of Thoros and are looking to leverage social media and marketing opportunities to raise the NRCS profile and increase awareness of our training courses.

The Trustees are excited to receive a significant legacy, providing ‘unrestricted funds’ and much of this will be used to support a range of initiatives designed to increase the provision of counselling. However, with confidence growing that lockdowns and social distance measures are at long last behind us, the Trustees are laser focussed on the immediate future and the urgent need to reinvigorate previous fundraising activities, shut down due to the pandemic. The charity shop, a full fundraising events programme and the grant funding applications strategy are the immediate priorities as we move beyond the Covid crisis. The Trustees understand that the financial stability of NRCS will be achieved through the development of sustainable income streams.

With mental health very much in focus generally and a huge uplift in the demand for associated support and services, NRCS has an important part to play in the provision of counselling within our local and wider community. Demand also provides opportunity to explore new areas of work such as remote delivery which removes geographical boundaries to our counselling services and provides access to new client sources.

Financial Review

The charity recorded a surplus for the year of £49,175 compared to a surplus of £8,152 in the previous year - a positive change of £41,023. Total income increased by £29,099 or just over 21%, while total expenditure fell by £11,924, a reduction of just over 9% with expenditure on raising funds decreasing by 81% and charitable activities just under 6%.

Reserves Policy

At the year end the charity had total funds of £146,223 (2020 £97,048) of which £145,723 (2020 £96,548) are unrestricted. The trustees’ policy on reserves is to retain a sufficient level to meet its operating commitments.

Risk management

The trustees are responsible for identifying the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and ensuring that steps are taken to manage those risks.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding period.

(a) Basis of accounting and assessment of going concern

The financial statements of the charity have been prepared in accordance with 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 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) published on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

(b) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of grants. Further details can be found in note 13.

(c) Income recognition

All income is included in the statement of financial resources when the charity is entitled to the income, it is probable that the resources will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Voluntary income is received by way of legacies grants, donations and gifts. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102), shop volunteer time is not recognised.

A legacy is recognised when it is probable that it will be received. Receipt is normally probable when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate, after settling any liabilities, to pay the legacy; and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Income from grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Other trading activities comprises income from shop sales. The income derives from the sale of secondhand goods and is recognised at the point of sale.

Investment income is included when receivable.

(d) Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs associated with operating its shops selling second-hand goods.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

of the charity and include the independent examiner's fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
