Financial Review The foundation's total income in the year from all sources was £252.590 (2023 - £290,041) and expendilure was £281,951 (2023 £293,583), resulting in a defi¢il of £29.361 (2023 - £3,542). This has been a ¢hallenging yeor. The post Covid impact of increased demand for Ix>lh counselling services and counsellor training. coupled with ihe exponential growth of online services with low barriers to enty has resulied in fierce competilion in what had previously been a very slable environrnent. The new management team are implementing numerous inili•lives to improv¢ incorne generation and reinforce the Foundation's competiiive advantage. Trainin8 income was reduced due lo the absence of a clini¢al Year I cohort as a result of insuffirienl sludenl applications in this more competilive environment. On the counselling side our clienl numbers were lower Ihan previous years and our NHS contraci to provide ¢ounsellin8 under the IAPT. service has been iaken back in house by the NHS in line wRth their Currenl policy and Siralegy.
