Work has b¢¢n Carried out lo review markin8 and feedback procedures for our training to make them
more ¢onsistenl.
A new course has been developed to provide an iniroduction lo Coun5elling which will be launched in
2025. There is also ongoing work to in¢orporate neurodivcrsityldiversity into ih¢ lrnining.
A patio area was constructed to ensure the noise levels from wurse attendees iaking breaks does not
impa¢t wunselling sessions in progress.
Staff
The rest of our staff are those persons who provide services for the Foundation in any paid or unpaid
c&pacity. This includes, but is not limited lo coun5ellors. seminar leaders, tutors, co-leaders, supervisors,
experiential group leaders, volunteers and administraiive staff.
Our staff are essential to the running of ihe Foundation. They support management in carrying out the
business of the Foundation which is lo offer counselling and train ¢ounsellors. We could not do whai we
do without their continued support And they have enabled us to carry out our business for 50 years.
To celebrate this the Foundation held a party in July lo mark their 50th anniversary. This was extremely
well attended with siaff. counsellors and Truslees both past and present in attendance. Sadly the weather
was not with us bul the rain did little to dampen our spirits.
On behalf of the Trustees I would like to recognise and thank all members of CCF in whalevcr capacity
they support the Foundation, for Iheir Commitment, dedication, cnihusiasm and professionalism. you help
ensure that ihe Foundalion continues lo provide a much valued service in what continue to be Challenging
times. I would also like to take ihe opportunity to congratulate all team members in their new roles and
wish them every success.
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.
