achievements of the charity,

charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Over the past year Talkthru has seen
sustained demand for psychological
support following mental distress related to
a pregnancy issue for both women and
men. We received 99 referrals with 425
planned appointments. We continued to
provide our service in a hybrid fashion
offering service users the choice of in
person face to face, phone or video
counselling. This continues to offer greater
accessibility for users of our service who
may struggle to attend counselling in
person due to poverty, childcare or mental
health issues. 46% of appointments were
delivered by phone.
In line with our previous vision and strategy
day and to achieve our strategic aim of
moving our business model from work
provided entirely by volunteer counselors to
paid positions occupied by fully trained and
accredited professionals, the trustees
commissioned an outside agency to draw
up a sustainability plan for Talkthru. We
have been steadily working during the year
to realise our strategic aims.
For part of this year our counselling team
was reduced due to health concerns
however thanks to the valuable role of the
counselling manager, Talkthru was able to
provide care calls for clients on the waiting| list to ensure their safety and we were able to prioritize the most vulnerable clients. Talkthru continued it’s project with mothers who had had their babies removed into care. The Project Lead successfully liaised with the Public Sector and Third Sector to promote the new service. Women referred into this service have complex issues. Those that engaged with the service reported how beneficial it was to have time and space to process their thoughts and feelings and begin to make healthy lifestyle choices for themselves. In the summer we were able to host a network event sharing our work with members of the local social and health care community along with other third sector organizations. This event was highly valued by all attendants, and it is planned to repeat it in the future. Talkthru was successful in it’s application to become an accredited training placement for Masters counselling and psychotherapy students from Leeds University and has begun to receive students on placement. The Trustees commissioned a fixed electrical line report for Talkthru premises and took the recommended steps to bring the premises up to code, ensuring safety for both staff and clients. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

The 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. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act; - follow the procedures 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 accordance with General Directions given 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. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning 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: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the trustees' requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
