NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
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:
-
To relieve persons who are mentally or emotionally disturbed or distressed by the provision of a counselling service for such persons.
-
To advance education by conducting, where appropriate, study and research into methods of treatment of such persons and to publish the useful results of such study and research.
-
To advance education by training persons in counselling so that they may assist in the treatment of persons suffering from mental or emotional disorders or problems.
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, 489 assessments were conducted and our team of 42 counsellors delivered 8454 sessions. In addition to our existing clients, many of whom are receiving longer term therapy, we were able to offer counselling to 396 new clients (330 adults and 66 children).
NRCS has experienced a busy year as demand for counselling services continues to grow. During the period of this report, we have actively managed the transition from remote service delivery, due to the covid pandemic, back to ‘face-to-face’ counselling. At present, approx. 70% of counselling is being delivered ‘face-to-face’ from our dedicated counselling centre, while about 30% has continued remotely, delivered via zoom or telephone.
Although we prefer working ‘in person’ with therapy, the Trustee’s recognise that remote delivery provides opportunities for clients who may not be able to get to us in person; and also allows us to expand our geographical reach. Our attendance figures have risen slightly on the previous year and is reflected in client payments totalling £67,785 for the year, up from £66,024 previously.
With the majority of counselling sessions once again being delivered from our counselling centre, it has made it easier to monitor Payments and ensure payments are being made, which proved challenging during the previous year, when we were delivering sessions remotely and receiving payments electronically.
2
NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
Demand for counselling has continued a steady upwards trend from the previous year, particularly for anxiety related issues. The cost-of-living crisis swiftly following the end of pandemic restrictions, has affected our region particularly hard and we are seeing a tired and strained proportion of society, increasingly struggling with mental health concerns. We delivered an additional 125 sessions against the previous year, assisted by 3 additional Counsellors. Client assessments are undertaken as swiftly as possible, and clients allocated to counsellors shortly after. We are maintaining similar levels on our waiting list to the previous year, albeit we have delivered more sessions, which reflects the rising demand for our service.
Other income streams have performed well throughout the year. The Charity shop has delivered an impressive sales performance of £18,795 which is significantly higher than any other previous year. This strong performance is due to extended opening hours and an enthusiastic approach from Siobhan, injecting energy, passion and strong community engagement. Footfall has noticeably increased throughout the year as the recent increases in the cost of living have impacting family budgets, driving shoppers to seek affordable options, particularly with regard to clothing and bric-a-a brac. The shop is receiving a steady supply of items following regular social media appeals and is managing to keep pace with demand.
Our fundraising programme raised just over £1,800 with several successful events taking place during the summer months. We struggled to attract support for some events during the first half of the period under review, despite strong social media campaigns. It is believed that lingering concerns related to Covid, among our historical supporters - typically the older generation, was responsible for poorer attendance than pre-pandemic levels. Support improved for events held during the summer and gives cause for optimism for our 2023 programme of fund-raising events.
In September of 2021 (previous year end), NRCS took ownership of Thoros, an education centre teaching a range of counselling courses and CPD workshops. Thoros has recently received a renewed rating of ‘outstanding’ from an external assessor for the National Counselling Society and has performed within expected financial parameters during the first full year under the NRCS umbrella. Student income for the year totalled £54,417 and expenditure £48,540 recording a surplus of £5,877 . Strong enquiry levels throughout the year regarding future courses, provide strong indications that student numbers will likely increase from the previous year. The Principal, Vice Principal and a number of the tutors remained in post throughout the year, providing continuity for existing students and maintaining an exceptional learning environment. NRCS staff have been able to support the educational team by assisting with administration and general enquiries.
Siobhan, who was recruited during the previous year, has been working with a mentor who has provided some support and guidance regarding grant funding applications. Part of Siobhan’s role is to secure grant funding to fund part of her salary beyond her second year in post. Up to that point, a grant awarded during the previous year is subsidising her salary. Siobhan is beginning to have considerable success in securing a number of smaller grants (unrestricted) towards general running costs. In addition to a raft of funding applications for smaller amounts, a number of larger funding applications have been made (specifically for salary funding) and are currently awaiting decisions.
Due to present economic conditions, there is considerable pressure on grant funders – particularly for larger amounts, and therefore greater competition between charities. In anticipation of increased competition, the Trustees are presently considering allocating a percentage of each (unrestricted) smaller
3
NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
grant received, to put towards the salary. There is agreement in principle and a decision will be taken shortly regarding the percentage of allocation.
In summary, NRCS has experienced a challenging year, managing the transition back to face-to-face counselling from remote delivery. Operating Thoros under the NRCS umbrella has proved successful and the team are confident on building on that success going forward, with additional courses and workshops being planned and added to the existing core syllabus.
The Trustees’ have been focussed on guiding the organisation through the present economic difficulties which inevitably impacts on our client demographic. In addition, rising costs have impacted the overall financial performance throughout the year, as well as a squeeze on grant funding from increased competition and associated rising cost impacts on fund providers.
The Trustees are pleased that income streams have continued to improve, post pandemic and recognise the hard work undertaken by all the staff and volunteers in making this happen. They are also mindful of the legacy amount reported during the previous year’s accounts and are considering a number of smaller projects aimed at increasing our service delivery, in addition to establishing a mobile counselling facility, which is anticipated to get underway during 2023, following finalisation of costs and budgets.
Financial Review
The charity recorded a deficit for the year of £8,636 compared to a surplus of £49,175 in the previous year, a negative change of £57,811. It should be noted that the previous year’s figure included a ‘one off’ unusual legacy payment. Total income increased by £11,494 or just under 7%, while expenditure rose by £69,305 an increase of just under 60% with expenditure on raising funds increasing by 78% and charitable activities by 59%.
Much of the increase in expenditure, is accounted for by Thoros which, in the previous year’s accounts, incorporated only one month’s expenditure in September, when the acquisition was completed and coincided with the previous year end.
Reserves Policy
At the year end the charity had total funds of £137,587 (2021 £146,223) of which £133,754 (2021 £145,723) 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.
