Our Services
Staff changes during the year
Following the departure of Anna-DialeGhti Koloni last year, we welcomed Lucy-may Robin as
Anna's Successor in the role of Child Health Community Champions Lead. Lucy Is a qualified
early years professional, with 15 years, experience of working in the early years sector and
holds a First-Glass Honours degree in Early Childhood studies. In 2023, Lucy gave birth to twins
and had to perform CPR on one child who was then two weeks old. This. alongside her
personal experiences of breasffeeding and motherhood, spurred Lucy into volunteering with the
ABC Parents project, supporting mothers in the Community and making a real difference.
Starfish
The Starfish Project enables children to develop communication, social and educational skills in
order to participate fully in their education and reach their full potential. Children at risk of social
exclusion will have access to an enriching programme of support, which will lead to an
improvement in emotional wellbeing, more participation in school and the wider community and
engagement with leaming.
Transition from primary to secondary school is an extremely challenging time in some children's
lives, especially for those children who may already be at risk of social exclusion and
underachieving. Evidence shows that children are often emotionally, socially and linguistically
unprepared for the change. These concems often begin in years 4 and 5 and those children
who are already vulnerable (because of family circumstsnces, special educational needs and
speech and language issues) face particular and specific challenges which affect their
attainment, participation, selfosteem, wellbeing and progress In the final years of primary
school. Children with low levels of self-esteem and subjective wellbeing are often not equipped
wtth the tools and strategies to cope With such a huge change in their lives and benefit from
specific, targeted support to be able to deal with the challenges ahead.
Starfish continues to support primary age children in Key Stage 2 who are at a disadvantage in
temis of their chances of making a Successful transition to secondary school, to develop the
skills and confidence to participate, engage with learning, value themselves and believe in their
capacity to progress and do well both socially and academically. The project will show them
how to present themselves positively and how to engage with other people as well as building
social capacity and developing strategies they can use to progress and achieve.
The core elements and project pathways promote stronger personal, social and aGademiG
performance as well as developing equal access to wider opportunities and a range of different
experiences. The project will improve self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing and children will
be supported to be active citizens in their schools, society, community and family.
The project is delivered in nine primary schools in LB Enfield, with children initially taking part in
the Aspire and Shine pathway. targeted children will also be referred to the most appropriate
starfish pathway for their needs.
The nine local primary schools included:

Awaiting evaluations - All current school evaluations mention that children have left
sessions much happier. Overall feedback from schools has been positive, and schools
are keen for Play Therapy to continue so that other children can benefft.
Next steps
For Year 2, we will continue to maximise the number of children attending eaGh pathway
whilst focusing on the quality of delivery. We will also focus on reviewing and refining each of
the pathways to ensure children get the best possible results from participating in Starfish.
This will include:
Improving referral criteria and making sure schools have a full understanding of whom
to refer to, and to which pathway
Reviewing evaluation proGesses to obtain the most detailed feedback to effectively
demonstrate that we are meeting project objectives
Strengthening relationships and working collaboratively with schools, partners,
therapists and facilitators.
ABC Parents Project
ABC Parents. a paediatric community OLrtreach programme in Enfield and Haringey. aims to
address health disparities and reduce unnecessary emergency department visits for children
under five in North Middlesex Hospital area. The initiative tackles the lack of child
health knowledge, parental Confiden￿ and sustainable communities. By providing education
and resuscitation training and empowering parents to manage child health concems. it aims to
decrease the relianTr on acute services.
Screening for health disparities and providing in-person and virtual support sessions aid in
reducing stigma and improving parental advocacy for community support. The programme's
multidisciplinary approach. backed by various local organisations, fosters a community of
resources for families, with a network of trained parent champions supporting this initiative. This
partnership, supported by North Central London Integrated Care System and Public Health,
focuses on coproduction with families at rts core, aiming to build sustainable community health
and wellbeing.
Parental fear, doubt, isolation and a lack of knowledge are all key dnvers in health behaviours
and important detemiinants of A&E attendance. Parents often doubt their own ability or
judgement and this lack of confidence can prevent them from even attempting 'self-care'.
Results
Increased Champion Engagement:
With the appointment of the new Champions Lead in June 2024. there was a marked
increase in Champion recruitment and engagement, particularly during the summer
months. This has contributed to an enhanced sense of community and support across
the project.

Training Success..
The collaborative efforts of the Champions Lead and Project Lead resulted in a
substantial increase in the number of individuals trained, which was crucial in securing
funding for 2025-26.
Pathways for Champions..
New pathways were created for Champions, allowing them to better utilise their skills and
lived experience to support the project. This has provided them with more opportunities
for growth and development, enhancing both their personal empowerment and their
impact on the project.
Funding Secured for 2025-26..
Through the efforts of the team and the increase in training, funding for the 2025-26
period has been secured, providing financial stability and an opportunity to expand the
project.
Creche Policy and Operational Guidance:
The collation of the creche policy and appendices has provided clear operational
guidance to creche workers, improving consistency and efficiency. Additionally, the
updated govemment legislation has allowed us to reinstate the affected creche worker,
enabling us to run the creche at a similar capacity to last year.
The project has faced a few significant challenges in the past year, including recruitment gaps.
staffing turnover, and creche worker shortages. Despite these obstacles, the team's
collaborative efforts have resulted in several positive outcomes, includirig increased Champion
engagement, successful training initiatives, and the securing of funding for the 2025-26 period.
The collation of the creche policy and the ability to reinstate a creGhe worker have also
contributed to improvements in operational capacity within the creche itself. The ongoing
challenges with staffing, support from partners, and achieving full operational capacity remain
areas of focus for the coming months. Addressing these issues will be critical to ensuring
continued success and growth for the project

My Time Counselling Service
Funded by BBC Children in Need, the project started in September 2022 with the aim of
supporting children and young people across Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest. The
project provides:
Individual therapeutic 1.1 counsellinglplay therapy. Providing children aged 5 to 18 with
space to explore their thoughts, feelings and difficulties through individual talking and
therapeutic play.
2. Closed therapeutic groups in schools to enable children to share their experiences,
validate feelings, build relationships and experiment with alternative ways of behaving in
a safe and supportive environment.
3. Wellbeing service: a drop-in for older children, either alone or with friends, to aC￿sS
therapeutic support and to leam self-managing techniques such as mindfulness,
mediation and visualisation. We hope to help children meet challenges, build emotional
resilience and develop coping strategies. We are acutely aware that some children
struggle to access our services as they don't want peers to think they have a 'mental
health, issue or need 'counselling'. This started off well, but, owing to COVID-19, the
lockdowns, schools operating in year group bubbles and restriction of students moving
around the school, the numbers here have Sin￿ been minimal. We expect numbers to
rise substantially, as the need is, if anything, greater than it was before the pandemic.
4. Developing parenting skills: this is very important as parents play a key role in

Results
The progress and impact of My Time Counselling Service have been both positive and far-
reaching. We received referrals through several pathways, including parentslcarers. Enfield
Early Help and Haringey Early Help, GP surgeries and schools in Enfield, Haringey, west and
north-west London. Referrals from so far afield are proof that counselling services are very
much needed in other areas and that demand is outstripping supply. We could not support all of
the referrals as our geographic target areas are Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest.
Research shows children leam more from what they 'see' than from what they 'hearf. and if
parents can role-model 'good and active, mental health care, then their children stand a better
hance of reflecting and intemalising these habits and incorporating them into their own lives.
Influenced by this research, we decided to hold family activity days during the half term, where
we focus on good mental health and wellbeing in a relaxed and informal way. With funding from
Tesco Community Grant, we commissioned Dionne Ible of Qemamu Mosaics (who featured in
the BBC programme 'Make it at Markey) to deliver two sessions themed 'ls your cup half full or
half empty?, Participants made mosaic tiles to represent the feelings and thoughts that were
triggered by this theme. Discussion was developed around what we can do to 'replenish our
emotional cups, in our daily lives.
Childrenlyoung people counselled to date
My Time has supported 75 chIld￿n in the reporting year.
Cheryl Ko, our School Drop-in and Family Support Therapist, has been working in
Frederick Bremer Secondary School in Waltham Forest, where she counselled four
young people each for 10 weeks. Cheryl also worked in Kingsmead Secondary School
and is presently supporting four students at Heron Hall Academy.
The seNice provided counselling support to a parent whose daughter was accessing My
Time Counselling services. My Time was able to instigate a Team Around the Child
meeting in the secondary school and instigate additional support for this young person,
who was an emotionally based school non-attender.
My Time has SUC￿ssfUllY counselled a Haringey primary school Ghild, (who has autism
and was not able to articulate his emotions. especially when upset) at our offices, whose
sessions came to an end last month. His primary school wanted our services. but
unfortunately, My Time could not supply a counsellor, as none was available.
We will be hosting an end of the project party soon after schools break up for the
summer holidays, with the theme '1 Mind my Mental Health,, where we will celebrate our
achievements and thank the families for supporting and participating in the project.
Work with parents
Although My Time works with childrenlyoung people between the ages of 5-18 years who
maylmay not have special educational needsldisabilities. but whose mental health is at risk, the
project has offered counselling to selected parents whose childrenlyoung people are being
counselled. This has been a professional judgement on the part of the Service Manager, (who
is a qualified counsellor) and who has seen the possible benefits for the parent and child in
temis of their Interaction and emotionally healthier family relationships, rf the parent was

The parents, counselling sessions have brought up several issues for the parents, some directly
affecting their relationship with their child and other issues indirectly affecting their relationship.
It has also raised their awareness of other ways of interacting, relating and 'being with their
child. provided the safe space to explore this and given them the time, safe and space to see
these 'issues' through the 'lens' of their child. In most of these Gases (we have counselled five
parents to date). the parents were not aware of the impact of their behaviour and language on
their child and they have leamt more about themselves, as well as their child. The sessions
have given the parents a safe and supportive space to talk about themselves and their
parenting challenges without judgement or criticism and a pla￿ where they are listened to with
empathy and unconditional positive regard - something which very few parents, if any, receive
in our society today.

Challenges
Having an insufficient number of volunteer counsellors meant that some schools did not
receive counselling sUPPOrt in a timely manner.
We are managing a small waiting list due to high demand and the insufficient number of
volunteer counsellors.
Parents are not responding to feedback forms as much as we would like. even though
they have been reminded several times.
Our ongoing recruitment drive for counsellors has been slow. Recently we interviewed
and offered the role to four volunteer counsellors. Regrettably, two withdrew their
applications for personal reasons; one showed he was not a suitable fit and the offer was
withdrawn. and the fourth had a successful start at Hazelbury primary school.
Future aims for My Time Counselling
To secure continuation funding
To include the parents more, as this benefits not only the children but the parentslcarers
as well. The relationship between parent and childlyoung person Improves, giving rise to
more harmonious family relationships and dynamics
To include sessions aimed at secondary aged young people only, particularly on raising
confidence and self-esteem.
Case Study
Child X is a six-year-old male who is autistic, has ADHD and is very articulate.
Child X was struggling with social interactions and communication, particulady related to
impulsivity and emotional regulation. This was having an impact on his self-esteem and anxiety.
It was hard for Child X to discuss what was happening for him as he could not always identify or
articulate his feelings, and he found it hard to focus on subjeds beyond his interests. He was
referred to My Time because of these issues.
Child X had an emotional meltdown in one of his counselling sessions when told that the

to tidy up.
e continue
to play even though he
had been asked to tidy up, and when the instruction was repeated, he threw the toy down,
turned his back, went to hide in the corner of the room and became tearful. When asked why he
was upset, he was unable to explain or answer. In the following session, the volunteer
counsellor explored his behaviour and a series of emotions he might have felt at the.time.
Using cut-out fa￿S Wlth different facial expressions, Child X was able to cut out the facial
expression he felt at the time. The volunteer counsellor explored how the feeling presented
itself in him and where he might have felt it in his body. We looked at different Goloured paints,
what they meant to us and how they made us feel. Using a cut body image and the use of
different coloured paints, Child X was able to paint the body parts where he began to feel 'hot'
just before this type of meltdown Occurred. We then used the association of the colours to
name his feelings. We developed a booklet of feelings against colours, which we made in the
sessions together- i.e. yellow was his happy colour. This booklet included facial expressions of
how Child X thought he might be feeling at each session, and we talked through this.
We then explored and practised ways of calming down when his warning signs appeared and
before his feelings escalated. We practised deep breathing, counting to ten, taking time out
from the situation if it involved his peersladults and wrote this all down in his booklet. We tslked
about the negative impact of his behaviour on himself, on his peersladults, the impact on his
learning and how long this emotionally charged state lasted.
Child X began to understand how this negative behaviour was affecting himself and the impact
it had on others. Talking about and naming emotions using art and craft whilst playing, role
modelling and practising different coping strategies together enabled Child X to dare to explore
other more favourable ways of behaving and 'being'. This increased his confidence and self-
esteem levels and gave him lots of opportunities to practice his new social skills. Sharing these
strategies with mum enabled her to consider 'what works, in the home environment and
continue the ernotional dialogue with her son. This gave rise to less stressful Interactions
be￿een mum and son and gave mum more skills to add to her parenting. Child X now takes
his feelings booklet to school with him.
Looking ahead to 2025-26
We will continue to strengthen and expand our role in the ABC Parents project. We are
negotiating with the funder for a much larger budget to onboard new pathways, which will
address emerging prionties that will better identify service gaps and meet need.
We are very conscious of the faGt that the BBC Children in Need funding will end in August
2025. Our priority is to secure continuation funding either from BBC Children in Need or other
sources. The My Time Counselling Service remains a critical service for the hundreds of
children and young people we support.
We will need to update the ICT systems and support. With the cost-of-living crisis, there has
been a considerable increase in the cost of service support that ensures the ICT works and staff
get timely support when needed.
Finally, we will continue with our focus on strengthening the Board of Directors with recruitment
and training. The current Board of Directors will be focused on updating the Strategic Plan,
revising and setting priorities for 2025-2028.

The Charity has assets which are invested to provide unrestricted income.
The Charity seeks to produce the best financial retum within an acceptable level of risk, which
balances the likelihood of losses that may damage the Charity against the potential for benefrt
and a good return on investment. The Board will ensure it looks at the risk. ethical and time-
horizon factors in making investment decisions. It will also require regular reporting and
monitoring of the investments to be submitted at Board meetings.
In the previous reporting year, the Trustees took the decision to invest unrestricted reserves in
the COIF Chanties Ethical Investment Fund provided by CCLA and the Charity Multi-Asset
Fund provided by Schroders. This investment has yielded £3,148 for the year.
Reserves policy and going concern
The reserves policy is to hold six months, running costs as free reserves. Free reserves are
those funds not tied up in fixed assets or held as de.signated or restricted funds. Free reserves
are held to ensure the continuity of educational services and, given the relative uncertainty of
future funding and the long-tenn viability of the Charity, that adequate funds are available to
cover the running costs for six months.
Six months, running costs are calculated as £106,840 The Trustees and management are
pleased that the reserves are at the desired level and have decided to use the reserves to
invest in further services for our beneficiaries in the forthcoming year. The Trustees are of the
view that EPC is a going concem.
This report has been prepared in accordance With the provisions in part 15 of the Companies
Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies, regime.
Our Big Thank You

Annual Account
For the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Every Parent & Child
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2025. which are set out
on pages 18 to 25.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is
not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and
that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £25,000 and
l am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of
Chartered Certified Accountants.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charit4es Act,
follow the prO￿dureS laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordanTr wtth general Directions glven by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity
and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. 1t.also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the Trustees
conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that
would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts
present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate:
that accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies
Act 2006.
. that the accounts do not accord with such records;
. where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant
accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent
wÈth the Charities SORP (FRS102)',
any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain
a proper understanding of the accounts.

Basis of accounting
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice

Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective
1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102}}, 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 aGcounts have been prepared on a going concem basis as the trustees believe
that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds
held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve months from
authorising these accounts and have decided that the charity is able to Gontinue as a
going concern.
Incorne recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is
sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and
the amount of income re￿1vable can be measured reliably. Grant income re￿iVed in
advance of the period to which they are intended are deferred to that period.
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a
payment to a third party. it is probable that a settlement will be required, and the amount
of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is acGounted for on and accruals basi5 and is inclusive of VAT.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs Incurred by the charity in the delivery of
its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be
allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to
support them.
Govemance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and
statutory requirements of the charity and include independent examination fees and
costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs which
cannot be allocated directly are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Fund accounting
UnrestnGted funds are grants. donations and other incoming resour￿8 receivable for
the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as
general funds.
Restricted funds are grants, donations and other incoming resources which are to be
used for speGific purposes as laid by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria
is charged to the fund.

purposes.
