Foreword

Our core purpose at Wellspring Therapy & Training is clear: to deliver affordable, high-quality, face-to-face therapy, providing a vital source of hope in overwhelming circumstances.

We had to prioritise our service amidst decreasing funding

We’ve seen a concerning rise in local mental ill health, particularly impacting those already disadvantaged by issues like high housing costs. However, our hope is continually renewed by the incredible resilience of the people who come to us for support, and by the commitment of our volunteer counsellors.

A deep dive into our children’s caseload revealed the lasting detrimental effects of COVID lockdowns on their development, communication skills, and engagement with learning. We responded by prioritising therapy and training for these young people, equipping them with the tools that will benefit them and their families for years, sowing the seeds for sustained engagement in education and future employment.

Many of our clients face immense financial pressures, making the cost of therapy a significant barrier. This is where the generosity of our donors and supporters becomes critical, allowing us to ensure that vital help is accessible to all, regardless of their financial situation.

Furthermore, inspired by our faith, we actively engaged with our wider community, delivering mental health training and insight talks to a diverse range of businesses, clubs, and societies. Whilst 2024 was a tough year for our organisation, it was far harder for those on our waiting lists and for people we could not reach.

While 2024 presented challenges, including workforce reductions driven by a decrease in charitable grant funding, we made a conscious decision to focus on our Children and Young People’s service, knowing that a significant 75% of mental illnesses manifest before adulthood.[2]

We thank you for your support.

Despite losing valued adult counsellors, we were able to train and develop a record number of volunteer counsellors which meant we were able to reach a greater number of clients than in the previous year.

Gary’s story

I was feeling very lost in life. I knew that I had to make changes and I just didn’t know where to start or where to get the help that I needed.

I walked into Wellspring to get some information. That very first contact with the receptionist really had an effect on me. I was so grateful the way it all progressed from there – it was absolutely amazing. They rang to offer me some affordable sessions and it was so strange somebody reaching out to me to try and help me!

My counsellor was a fantastic guy, absolutely brilliant from day one. I felt

relief in being able to talk and be encouraged, not judged. It changed my outlook and impression of life.

“My counsellor was a fantastic guy, absolutely brilliant from day one.”

I’m 50 something and all my life I have either masked my emotions and problems, or buried them. I felt I didn’t deserve to be happy, or deserve nice things, although it wasn’t my fault, that was the way that I saw life. Now I know I do deserve to be happy and I can make others happy as well. I don’t have to be somebody that closes their eyes to a situation. I can do something about it.

We see more men over 65 coming to us every year

I am absolutely so grateful to Wellspring for what they did for me, I can’t speak highly enough of them.

The impact on clients

At Wellspring we use a nationally

recognised wellbeing measure called CORE-10. We ask clients to complete a 10-point questionnaire at the start and end of their therapy. The questions assess their risk, wellbeing, symptoms and physiological state.

We are seeing a significant increase in clients who start therapy as ‘severe’

Client contributions

Our affordable counselling service is a unique offer in the community making high quality professional therapy accessible to all, regardless of background and income. Clients choose an amount to contribute to their sessions from as little as £5 per session.

We believe everyone should have access to high quality professional therapy, regardless of circumstances

Due to its high housing costs relative to income, Harrogate has the worst housing of circumstances inequality in North Yorkshire. This means we have significantly high numbers of people in insecure accommodation, making their mental health worse. Affordable counselling is therefore critical for people who are struggling financially. £14.77

was the average contribution per affordable adult session in 2024

Looking ahead

Wellspring conducted a review of its charges with people who have lived experience of poverty and poor mental health. Charges will not be going up, mainly due to the climate of mistrust on changes to welfare and entitlements.[£60.00]

Ellen’s story

It is incredibly hard to see your child suffering and not know how you can help. I could see Ruby was in pain and the fear of what might happen was, at times, overwhelming. We looked for help where we could, fell down the gaps of different services and ended up at Wellspring. Tired. Wounded.

Finding the right person for her was so important but so hard; I knew it would be a literal make or break situation. Wellspring listened and it was incredible how they found someone who she connected with straight away; she was just wonderful.

“Parenting through this is lonely, hard and confusing.”

You think it is never going to end, overthinking every move with a pile of blame that feels so heavy. Entering the peace of Wellspring each week was the glimmer that I needed.

The counsellor cared about our family as a whole, which surprised me. She gave me practical tips that helped us navigate things better. We all made progress and we could pay what we could afford. Honestly, I don’t know where we would have been otherwise.

Thank you, Wellspring.

Ruby’s story

As a 15-year-old girl, Wellspring welcomed me to their counselling sessions to help me with my feelings of sadness, and acts of self-harm.

I’d been struggling with these feelings for many years, with it getting more extreme the closer I got to my GCSEs.

Over the weeks, I was able to explore the reasons behind my feelings, and made significant decreases in self-harming. It also helped me prioritise things which were important to me to start feeling happier.

Through creative devices such as playdough, sand, and drawing, Wellspring gave me the confidence to share things with my parents and myself; it helped me become more

motivated in school and see a future with my studies.

“...it helped me become more motivated in school and see a future...”

I’d really recommend

Wellspring for anyone looking for someone to talk to. Everyone there is so nice and friendly, and it really does make a difference.

30 young people benefited from our Empower Course in 2024

We are so grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for funding our small-group therapy sessions for children and young people in 2024. This funding will also enable us to continue to run Empower until 2026.

Empower

Neuro divergent support

In addition to regular counselling, we offer young people the chance to take part in ‘Empower’. This is an 8-week course written and facilitated by professional youth counsellors and which offers those aged 11-18 the opportunity to develop their confidence and self-esteem within a supportive peer group.

Early support for neuro divergent children is vital. Strong research evidences that meeting the needs of children as early as possible is more effective than securing a diagnosis. We will continue to support families as quickly as we can; right for children and saving the health and social care system significant money[1] .

Looking ahead

As a result, children and young people have healthier levels of self-esteem and emotional wellbeing through the activities “I love coming experienced within because I feel Empower. seen and I don’t feel weird.”

We are looking to expand Empower to other age groups including parents and primary school aged children.

“ These sessions helped m e talk more free ly, ha ve less panic at tacks and go back to sch ool.”

students and staff supported through individual sessions

Issues

The prevalence of bullying in North Yorkshire schools is increasing with almost 1 in 4 students being affected[1] . Our counsellors also see students presenting with: suicidal thoughts, anger, trauma, bereavement, grief, friendship and family relational issues, identity, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, low self-esteem and self-harm.

Often, children who are in school but struggling, are overlooked by mental health services and only come to their attention when they have become so overwhelmed that they have started to engage in risk-taking behaviour.

Our professionally qualified therapists work in the school through our school counselling service to meet with children who have been identified by pastoral staff as needing support.

Some of our feedback...

“Counselling enabled me to control my anger and not allow my anger to control me.”

This early intervention allows young people to find ways of dealing with their distress and supports them to stay in education.

Sadly, our training room experienced extensive damage in May 2024 from flash flooding, which created challenges and cancellations to our planned training programme. Thanks to the generosity of local churches we were able to continue some of our offer in alternative locations.

Despite this, we still ran 19 courses for 185 people attending either a single training event or a series of workshops, compared to 18 courses and 173 attendees in 2023.

6 MHFA courses more attendees were run.[53%] on our MHFA courses

Sandtray

Our Sandtray training continues to be held in high esteem within the counselling community. We are the leading training provider in the North of England for this special therapeutic service. In 2024, we trained 36 professionals. We attract counsellors and professionals not just from Yorkshire, but from all over the country, including London.

Sandtray is a creative therapy in which clients represent their personal world in symbolic form by working with objects in a sand-filled tray. Working in this way can powerfully enhance a client’s awareness and promote expression, exploration, and resolution of a variety of issues. In 2025, we expect to continue providing high-quality, sought after learning in this area.

Our sandtray training remains in high demand

Counselling Training to work with Children and Young People

1 in 5 children and yo ung people in England were found to have a probable mental disorder, with prev alence rates of 20.3% for those aged 9- 16 years and 23.3% for those aged 17-19 years.[1]

This is supported by the numb er of referrals for children and young people that we continue to get.

Regionally, we lack counsellors that have experience in counselling children and young people. We’ve been forced to close our waiting list for this age group a number of times.

To better respond to this need, we developed a new course based on the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy curriculum and competencies to upskill existing counsellors to work with children and young people aged 11-18.

Working in partnership

As the need for mental health support continues to grow, with the NHS overwhelmed and private counselling still unaffordable for many, Wellspring’s team have felt moved to create a new project, in partnership with churches and charities.

Many churches and charities have a passion to see people suffering from emotional distress receive hope and support through counselling, but feel they lack the confidence or resources to know how to offer this service.

Wellspring Counselling Centres bring together Wellspring’s 20+ years of experience in delivering affordable professional counselling services with a church or charity who is in touch with their community and ready to help.

Through partnership working we will support a church to set up, deliver and grow an affordable counselling service based on our own model.

Governance

Public Benefit

We have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and we are confident that Wellspring meets the public benefit requirement. Our clients are asked for a donation according to means, and this may mean that for some the sessions will be free. Equal access to our service is important and we see anyone regardless of gender, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, age (unless not Gillick competent) or any other factor. The impact and public benefit of our work goes beyond the client by reducing the distress suffered by families and friends and having a positive impact on schools and local communities. The consequences of alleviating psychological distress are far-reaching. We estimate that our service reduces the demand on the Prison and Youth Justice Services, the NHS, and Social Care.

Recruitment and Training of Trustees

Prospective trustees meet with The Executive Director, Chair, and other trustees (if appropriate). References are taken and they are invited to a trustee meeting as a guest.

They are encouraged to attend appropriate external seminars where these are relevant to their decision-making roles.

The registered office is 78 High Street, Starbeck, Harrogate, HG2 7LW.

2024 Governance: Items of Significance

Wellspring Therapy & Training have a Governance Subcommittee, which meets quarterly, adhering to its agreed Terms of Reference. In the reported year, no non Business as Usual matters were raised to the subcommittee for consideration or action.

Plans for the future

We are just over half way through our three-year business plan and have made strong progress on five of our nine strategic objectives, with steadier progress on four. Progress was hampered by reduced income from trusts and foundations, meaning we needed to reduce our staffing budget and cut posts.

in the interests of our clients or a good reflection of our faith. Staff and supporters continue to support in structured prayer. Local churches were visited six times through the year with talks on mental health need in the area.

Strong progress

1. Training

Objective: To have a training schedule providing preventative work in our community focussing on priority groups with partnerships alongside organisations that make a difference.

4. Reduce Health Inequalities

Objective: Grow our partnership with Route One to Wellness.

Progress: We have continued to provide support to people on low incomes through the primary care pathway. The success of the partnership is being replicated across North Yorkshire. We have developed relationships with our partners to such an extent that we are developing approaches to reduce rural health inequalities for children and young people through partnership working.

Progress: Good relationship developed with Harrogate Town AFC Community Foundation to providing talks on mental health for men. More talks on issues raised by men are being researched with more sessions planned in 2025.

2. Children and Young People Counselling Capacity

5. Increase provision

Objective: To increase our offer to Children and Young People.

Objective: 227 sessions offered per week. Progress: 150 sessions were provided per week in 2024 compared to 144 the previous year representing a 4.17% increase. This happened despite a contraction in the number of staff.

Progress: Our newly developed course, which was fully booked and received excellent ratings from participants, enabled us to create additional counselling capacity in our children’s service, enabling us to offer more appointments to children.

Steady progress

3. Maintaining our Christian identity

6. Development Work

Objective: To have a clear concept of what being a Christian organisation means to us. Progress: Staff and trustee engagement on faith remains strong; a good example is the rejection of a fundraising proposal developed externally that involved gambling. Trustees considered this not to be

Objective: Increase core staff to free up time for development projects and income generation.

Progress: Despite losing core staff in fundraising, HR and administration roles following our restructuring, we managed to create time to develop projects that

focussed on exploiting technology to improve internal efficiency, eg making our process of onboarding new volunteer counsellors more efficient, thus enabling us to see more people on our waiting list more quickly.

7. Increase income

Objective: Significantly increase income. Progress: Whilst good progress was made on identifying individual investors, finding confluence with values and adherence to our distinct identity proved to be challenging in a crowded charity playing field.

8. Holding Space

Objective: To better support those people waiting to use our service. Progress: After not being able to source a suitable partner for group work, we identified a range of safe digital tools to use that are approved by mental health charities nationally.

9. Spread our Model

Objective: Develop a replicable model for Wellspring Counselling Centres. Progress: The two counselling centres already set-up in Bradford and York were consolidated with other areas explored.

Financial Review

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net deficit of £51,342 for the year ended 31 December 2024. This presents a decrease of £2,852 on the result for the prior year. This deficit was largely as a consequence of a lower than projected

----- Start of picture text -----
32
----- End of picture text -----

level of income to support the investment in counselling resource put in place in prior years. In line with many others, we have found securing funding for growth to meet ever increasing demand a significant challenge.

Overall, our income for the year was £22,031 (5.44%) higher than in 2023, while our expenditure increased by £24,883 (5.49%), very largely in terms of staff and volunteer costs as we executed our planned increase in service provision as referenced above.

Of the £51,342 deficit, £51,295 arose from unrestricted activities with the remaining £47 resulting from restricted activities.

At the end of 2024, total funds held were £332,743 (2023: £384,085) of which £704 are restricted and £332,039 are unrestricted. Of the unrestricted reserves, £213,606 (2023: £225,970) are in designated funds and £118,433 (2023: £157,364) are in undesignated funds.

Given the continued deficit trend, we have had to take the very difficult decision to reduce our fixed cost base to ensure that we remain a sustainable provider of critical services. We are hopeful that these actions will arrest the erosion of our unrestricted reserves and permit us to remain within our stated reserves policy.

Sources of Funding and Support

The continued support of staff and volunteers, who gave so generously of their time, and the financial support received from Friends of Wellspring and many others, have ensured that we have been able to consistently deliver client and training services effectively during this past year. We are especially grateful to the many trusts, foundations, companies, individuals and churches who have donated generously to our work in this financial year.

Company and charity law require the Directors and Trustees respectively to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charitable Company’s state of affairs at the end of the year and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those accounts, the Directors and Trustees are required to:

1. Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

2. Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

Reserves Policy

3. State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;

In accordance with the Charity Commission guidance, the Trustees have considered the reserves needs of the Charity. The Trustees have established a policy of holding free cash reserves which equate to six months budgeted unrestricted expenditure less committed unrestricted funds for the same period. This amounts to £108,664. Cash reserves are held partly in a current account to allow for monthly fluctuations in cashflow and partly in interest-bearing accounts.

4. Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charitable Company will continue in operation.

The Director and Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable Company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act of 2006 and applicable charity law. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

Wellspring Therapy & Training do not earn any fixed or certain income for their services. In line with our Christian values and ethos, a significant proportion of clients are asked to contribute towards counselling services based on their ability to pay. It is therefore feasible for the charity to incur payroll and building costs without earning any significant levels of income. The Trustees therefore regard six months budgeted, unrestricted expenditure, less committed unrestricted funds for the same period, as being an acceptable level of free reserves to be held by the Charity. At the end of 2024, free reserves calculated on this basis, equate to 6.5 months.

Exemption

For the year ended 31 December 2024, the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006.
