TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIREcfoRS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Welcoming 390 new adult clients and 95 child clients in 2024, compared to 324 new adults
and 74 children in 2023, demonstrating our expanding reach.
Expanding our partnerships with local organisations to extend mental health support.
Continuing to operate our charity shop, which remains an important source of income.
The increase in assessments, sessions delivered, and new clients highlights the growing demand for our
services. While this demonstrates our impact, it also underscores the need for additional financial support
to ensure the sustainability of our work.
The main cha51enge facing the charity is the financial deficit, which needs to be addressed to ensure long-
term sustainability. In response, we plan to:
Strengthen fundraising efforts by launching new community events and donation
campaigns.
Diversify income streams, incluiling seeking additional grant funding and corporate
sponsorships.
Enhance operational efficiencies to reduce costs where possible.
Explore new ways to expand outreach services and increase engagement with vulnerable
groups.
While the past year has presented financial difficulties, NRCS remains steadfast in its commitment to
supporting individuals in need. The Trustees express their sincere gratitude to our staff, volunteers,
funders, and sUPPOrters who make our work po55ible. We look fonvard to building a stronger, more
sustainable future for the charty in the coming year.
Financial Review
The charity recorded deficit for the year of £27.946 compared to a surplus of £3,615 in the previous year, a
negative change of £31,561. Total income was £212,149, compared to £213,919 in the previous year.
Expenditure, however, increased significantly to £240.095 from £210,304. The key financial trends are
outlined below:
Income:
Donations and legacies decreased from £34,497 to £22.807. reflecting a drop in
individual and grant-based donations.
Fundraising efforts generated £507, a decline from £1,510 in the previous year.
Income from clients increased to £89,516, from £79,337 previously, an increase of
just under 13% from the previous year, demonstrating a strong demand for our
services.
Outreach income declined significantly from £9,947 to £1,825, impacting our ability
to engage with the wider community.
Income from our charity shop also saw a slight reduction from £38,432 to £34,832.
Revenue to Thoros increased from £50,116 to £61.891.
Interest income rose to £771, compared to £80 in 2023.

NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED
TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIREcfoRS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
In the past year, the charity has experienced a significant reduction in grant fundin& decreasing from
£34,497 to £22,807 a drop of approximately 35%. This decline has placed additional pressure on our
financial sustainability and highlights the increasing competition for grant funding within the sector.
Recognising the critical role that grant funding plays in supporting our work, we are taking proactive steps
to strengthen our approach. One key measure is the reallocation of our Office Managerfs workload,
ensuring that one full day per week is dedicated solely to grant application5 and 5ecurinB funding
opportunities. By prioritising this essential function, we aim to increase our success rate in grant
applications, develop stronger relationships with funders, and ultimately secure the financial resources
necessary to continue providing vital counselling services to our community.
We remain committed to diversifying our income streams and will continue exploring additional funding
opportunities, including partnerships, local fundraising initiatives, and corporate support. Our focus is on
building a sustainable financial model that enables us to expand our seprfices, reach MO￿ individuals in
need, and ensure long-term viability forthe charity."
Income from fundraising dropped significantly this year just under 65%. Thi5 is due to more time focussed
on developing CPD workshops following increasingly disappointing results previously with fundraising
events. Community engagement was weak possibly due to the cost-of-living problems and people having
to make hard choices about support they can give. It is fair to say that the uplift in revenue through Thoros
with CPD workshops has delivered a strong return on time invested.
Demand for our counselling seriice remains high and is demonstrated by a significant jump in client
donation5 for counselling sessions from £79,337 previously to £89,516 for the period under review in this
report
a 13% increase. The Trustee's believe that a general increase in demand for mental health
services, combined with greater accessibility to counselling through remote platForms such as telephone
and zoom, account for the increase. Our counselling service is now working with a split of 60% '1n-person
counselling and 40% remote.
Outreach work has declined signiflcantly from the previous year showing a 79% reduction because many
schools are now directly employing Counsellors, which diminishes our opportunity to engage with schools
in the traditional way. The Trustees, however, see other opportunities such as providing anti-bullying
workshop5 for pupils Including on-line safety and short, support workshops for teachers and are actively
exploring opportunities with local schools and academies through our network of counsellors, many of
whom have close links to schools within our district.
Our shop income dipped slightly from the previous year by just over IO%. This is mainly due to sickness
absence with volunteers which has necessitated temporary reductions in opening hours. A recent
recruitment drive for shop volunteers has been successful and the shop is open six days a week again. The
Trustees are pleased to note that footfall remains strong in spite of another charity shop opening just two
doors down from our location.
Income from Thoros increased significantly from the previous period showlng an increase of just over 21%.
This is largely due to a range of CPD workshops run by Thoros which has been very well supported by our
counsellors. By providing affordable CPD sessions at weekends and switching to internal social media
platforms such as WhatsApp groups, engagement has been high, and positive feedback has been strong
with other suggested CPD topics now plugged in to our programme.

NEW ROMNEY COUNSELLING SERVICES LIMITED
TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT IINCORPORATING THE DIREcfoRS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Expenditure:
The rise in expenditure was largely driven by increased operational costs, including
staff salaries, service delivery expenses, and general overheads.
Despite cost pressures, we have maintained our commitment to delivering high-
quality mental health support.
Although revenue streams have remained strong, expenditure overall rose significantly just over 14% from
the previous year. A significant factor contributing to the rise in our overall expenditure this year has been
the increased payments to counsellors. In response to the ongoing cost of living pressures and the
increasing demand for qualified counsellors in private practice, we adjusted our session rates to remain
competitive and retain our valued team. The session rate increased by £2.50 for up to eight sessions per
week, with a higher increase of £4.00 per session forthose delivering more than eight sessions per week.
As a result, our total expenditure on counsellor payments rose from £66,648 to £79,022 a 19% increase.
While this has placed additional financial pressure on the charity, it was a necessary step to prevent further
loss of counsellors and ensure the continuity of our counselling seNices. Maintaining a skilled and
dedicated team is vital to delivering high-quality support to those in need, and we will continue to assess
our funding strategies to sustain this investment in our counsellors.
To mitigate the financial impact, we are actively workSng to increase grant funding, diversify our income
streams, and explore additional fundraising opportunities.
Investment in Facllltles and Resources
This year, we allocated approximately £6,5￿ towards essential upgrades to our counselling centre,
covering building improvements, furniture, and decorating costs. This investment was necessary to
maintain a welcomin& safe, and professional environment for both clients and counsellors.
The funding for these improvements was drawn from legary money, allowing us to make these
enhancements without impacting our core operational budget. Ensuring that our facilities remain well-
maintained and fit for purpose is a key priority, as a comfortable and professional setting contributes
significantly to the effectiveness of our counselling Services.
We will continue to review our premises and resources to ensure they meet the evolving needs of our
clients and counsellors while remaining mindful of financial sustainability.
The Trustee5 recognise the need for financial sustainability and are actively working to address the deficit
through a combination of cost control measures and revenue-generating initiatives.
Reserves Policy
At the year end the charity had total funds of £113,2562 (2023 £141,202) of which £112,756 (2023
£140,702) 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
