RELATE LEICESTERSHIRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Relate Leicestershire is a registered charity that has been serving the communities of
Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland for over 80 years. We are a Federated Centre
within the Relate family group. Relate National has now taken in a number of centres
to become part of a single charity as Relate National. Other centres have decided to
stay as independent centres and are named Federated Centres. Relate Leicestershire
is bound by the terms of the Relate membership agreement, which provides, inter alia,
that Relate Leicestershire will abide by the terms of all policies and service
specifications approved by the Federation. The governing body of the Federation is
the Relate Board of Directors.
We provide an extensive range of relationship seNices at our main premises at 81183
Aylestone Road, Leicester and outreach locations across the county and Rutland.
The governing body of Relate Leicestershire is its Board. The Memorandum and
Articles of Association govern the appointment of Directors and Trustees. The Centre's
policy for the recruitment and induction of new Directors and Trustees provides for a
process of interviews and discussions, the provision of background information and
attendance as an observer at Board and Committee meetings.
The Directors and Trustees have met formally with the Centre Manager and staff teams
in regular meetings throughout the year. Between these meetings the Finance &
General Purposes Committee oversee the Centre's finances and Human Resource
Functions. The Service & Practice Committee regularly reviews and guides the
development and delivery of the main services provided: Relationship Counselling
(face-to-face and by telephonelzoom), Young People Counselling, Sex Therapy,
Family Counselling and Education and Learning sejvices. The Business Development
Committee oversee the development of the Business Plan and the Marketing &
Publicity Strategy and monitor its implementation and progress.
Melissa White leads the team with support from Amy Colebrook, (Director of Services)
Georgia Payne (Operations Manager), Khloe Crofts (Office Manager) and Caroline
Byrne (Centre Support Team Co-ordinator). The Clinical Lead is supervisor Vicki
Weetman, supported by supervisors Kala Subbaswamy, Rashmi Patel and Leona
Smith Kerr.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our vision is to be a "one stop relationship service centre" reaching more people and
serving the comrnunity of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We have continued
to ensure that our services are diverse and designed to meet local needs, and in
parallel to diversify our sources of income. Gr0￿h and flexibility are critical to the
Centre's long-term viability, and we continue on our objective to develop steady
patterns of annual growth. 2023-2024 has been anolher positive year in terms of
maintaining a single cohesive team within the Centre. Due to service user demand, we
continue to deliver a mainly face to face service with some remote counselling taking
place.
The Centre's longest established seNice is Adult Relationship Counselling. This
includes counselling for individuals and couples, irrespective of marital status, faith,
race, gender, sexual orientation or disability, on Relate premises and Sex Therapy.

RELATE LEICESTERSHIRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Young People Counselling Service has continued building partnerships with
schools and we have new schools and colleges on board providing face to face
counselling services. The demand for children and young people counselling and
family counselling is significant, and we have again recruited new members of the team
to meet the additional demand. We delivered another year of therapeutic services for
children and young people with mild to moderate mental health needs across
Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland and again this has now been extended to 31 sl
March 2027. The contract is an Early Intervention Service funded by the NHS
Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board and is delivered with our
partner agencies,. Heads Up and ADHD Solutions.
The NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board continued to
commission Relate Leicestershire to deliver a Community Chill Out Zone service. This
service supported Children and Young People to access support and advice with low
level emotional and mental health needs through community workshops.
We delivered the final year of our CAFCASS contract with Cambridge Family Mediation
Services delivering separated parents, courses.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
In line with the requirements of the Charities Commission, we give below information
on how the Centre delivers public benefit.
Relate Leicestershire takes practical steps to provide open access to its services. We
continue to operate a bursary scheme to enable those in financial hardship to access
our services at a reduced cost. We nevertheless see it as a priority that our services
remain accessible to those who require thern, irrespective of their means.
Most of our Young People Counselling Service is provided within the Early Intervention
Service and local schools and Golleges.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Results in Aggregate
This was as ever a year of challenge with slightly less work delivered in Relationship
Counselling but increased in Children & Young People's Counselling, Family
Counselling and Sexual Therapy.
The number of sessions delivered during the year were,
2912 sessions for relationship counselling (Decrease from 2022-2023).
10500 sessions of children and young people counselling and group work
(Increase from 2022-2023).
222 sessions of Sex Therapy (Increase from 2022-2023).
220 sessions of Family Counselling {Increase from 2022-2023).
Over 600 individuals attended our training programmes.
The young people service has seen an increase in delivery, and we have again,
increased the number of practitioners into the team to ensure we reach the number of
people who want to use our seNice. We were able to manage a surplus in order to
continuing building our reserves that have supported our delivery in past years.

RELATE LEICESTERSHIRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Adult Relationship Counselling
Vve have seen a small drop in demand for this financial year, however we hope to
reach more people this year. Work continues on supporting couples and individuals to
access our bursary.
Children and Young People's counselling and Family Work
We continued our work in schools providing individual counselling for young people in
secondary and primary schools.
The demand for school counselling is increasing at a steady rate and we have
employed and trained new counsellors to meet the demand.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Position
The Centre ended the year with total incoming resources of £1,431,974 and recorded
a surplus of £332,977. This surplus has built our reserves to a level that will sustain us
in a crisis. We have Gontinued to invest in our infrastructure to improve our environment
for clients, improve the building and our programme of change for our IT provision. The
Trustees, as usual, will be making prudent decisions over the coming year to ensure
the Centre's viability.
The Centre's finances are managed under a straightforward regime. The Finance &
General Purposes Committee develops a budget for approval by the Board prior to the
start of each year, and reviews performance against that budget. The Board receives
and considers financial reports at each of its quarterly meetings. Every month the
Centre Manager sends to the Directors and Trustees a set of key statistics, including
output volumes for each service, the unkept appointment rate, the average client
contribution for counselling services, and the values of bank balances. The Finance &
General Purposes Committee is authorised to approve unbudgeted expenditures of up
to £5,000. The Finance Committee keeps under review the management of funds on
deposit.
The turnover in 2023 - 2024 has increased and taken us over the threshold for an
independent examination and we have been audited this year by Bostockwhite.
Reserves
The contents of the Centre's risk register were formally reviewed during the course of
the year, together with their estimated impacts and likelihoods, controls and
mitigations. In the light of this the level of required reserves was re-evaluated. The
directors concluded that it was prudent to maintain free reserves, including working
capital, of around £400,000 to provide a 'breathing space, within which to act in the
event of the risks identified materialising.
The Centre's readily realisable assets now stand at around £1,568,909. Given the
continuing uncertainties within the funding outlook and the economy generally, the
directors regard the current level of reserves as adequate.

RELATE LEICESTERSHIRE {A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
It should be noted that the freehold property owned by Relate Leicestershire is valued
at historical cost less accumulated depreciation in the accounts. The trustees consider
that 'on an open market valuation, the freehold property would be valued considerably
more than its book value.
Funding
The main sources of funding for our services during 202312024 are as described in the
following paragraphs.
Most of the funding for Relationship Counselling, delivered at our own premises and
outposts came from client contributions. The payments are supported by a bursary,
where necessary, so that the service was again available to clients irrespective of their
means. Our Bursary made available for members of the public to support the cost of
counselling for 2023 - 2024 was £17,377.55, a slight increase from the previous year.
Young People counselling services received most of its funding through contracts with
our local Integrated Care Board.
Schools and colleges counselling services were delivered at fair sessional rates for the
services received.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
We have continued to build stability in the Centre as we work together to operate our
vision and strategy. We dealt with some continuing pressure from the pandemic during
2020-2022 as families lost jobs and experienced lower household income due to long
periods of unemployment. This was then followed by the cost-of-living crisis in 2022,
and this has been reflected by the slight decrease in services for adult work. Faced
with continuing uncertainty, we shall maintain close monitoring of the funding outlook
and new opportunities and keep under review contingency plans to manage our
capacity and our cost base.
We will continue to analyse feedback from our clients and act as needed to keep our
services in tune with evolving market needs. We will continue to invest time and effort
in understanding the implications of structural changes in our various markets,
including the impact of cornmissioning. We intend to continue to develop bespoke
solutions to the opportunities presented by funding agencies, and where appropriate
to work in partnership with other service organisations with complementary
competences. We will continue to encourage the members of our highly skilled
workforce to extend their individual competences to meet emerging needs.
The trustees are confident that the actions taken over the past year has put the charity
in a strong position to succeed in what has now become an extremely challenging time.

Opinion
We have audiled the financial statements of Relate Leicestershire Ltd for the year ended 31 March
2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure
Account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. The financial
reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom
Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102
"The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"

expenditure, for the year then ended.,
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) IISAS (UK}l and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the

small entities. in respect of the fact we provide non-audit services in the preparation of these financial
statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events
or conditions that, individually or co51ectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's
ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial
statements are aulhorised for Issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described
in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the Trustees, report. The Trustees are responsible for this other
information. Qur opinion of the financial statements does not cover the other information and except to
the extent Otherwise explicitly stated in our report we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon. I n connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears lo be materially
misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are
required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material
misstatement of the other infofmation. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there
is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RELATE
LEICESTERSHIRE LTD
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit..
the information given in the Trustees, report, which includes the Directors, report and the
Strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the
financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and
the Strategic report and the Directors, report included within the Trustees, report have been
prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires
us lo report to you if, in our opinion..
the charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns
adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made, or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the
small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing
the Directors, report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the
requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement set out in the Trustees, report, the
Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true
and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the
preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
Audltor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a g uarantee that
an audit conducted in accordan￿ with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when il
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below..
Firstly, our assessment of the risk applicable to the entity's financial statements from material
misstatements, including fraud, is low. Consequently, the risks identified are primarily concerned with
dominant influence by management, income recognition and classification as well as adequacy and
completeness of the disclosure for related parties. In response, we have.
Reviewed minutes of meetings of management and those charged with governance.,
Tested journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the rationale
behind transactions outside the normal course of activities..
Vouched a sample of grants and contracts to source documentation checking income
recognition criteria as well as any restrictions for appropriate fund classification.,
Reviewed transactions during the year for evidence of additional, unidentified related parties.
io

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RELATE
LEICESTERSHIRE LTD
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
Whilst the procedures listed aid us in detecting irregularities, there exists the inherent difficulty in
detecting irregularities, particularly those related to fraud. However, we believe the above risks to be
the particular areas most susceptible to material misstatement.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibilities. This description
forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter
3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the charitable Gompany's members those matters we are required lo state to them in an auditor's report
and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as
body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

can continue to m8et its liabilities as they fall due and that in consequence the going concern basis
continues lo remain appropriate.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any conditions attached to the
itemlsl of income have been met, il is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be
measured reliably.
Income from grants is recognised when the charity has mel Ihe performance criteria specified at the
tirne of grant and is recorded on a period-by-period basis when such criteria is achieved.
Incorning resources are treated as unrestricted unless the use of such income has conditions attached
which determine when. how and on what such funds may be expended. In those cases where the
incoming resource is deemed or determined to be restricted, then it is only recognised as income when
any attaching performance criteria is achieved.
Fund Accounting
Unrestricted general funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees
in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been sel aside by the trustees for particular
purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is sel out in the notes lo the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed at the
time such funds are received. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against
the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial
stalemenls.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third
paty, il is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured
reliably. Vvhere such expenditure relates lo a restricted income fund, then it is recognised in the same
period as the income lo which it applies.
Apart from governance costs, all expenditure is classified as expenditure on charitable activities.
All expenditure includes the irrecoverable VAT as a cost where it has been charged.
Allocation of central office costs
Central office costs are those functions Ihat support the charitable activities of the charity and include
finance. personnel, management, training and other administrative activities. The trustees do nol
consider that an arbitrary allocation of such costs is meaningful and accordingly the analysis of
expenditure by activity records such costs separately.
Op8rating Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases {a lease where title lo such equipment remains with the lessor)
are charged to the SOFA on a slraight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are slated at cost lor deemed costl less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided al the following annual rates in order lo write off each asset over its estimated
useful life.
Freehold property
Fixtures and fittings
10/0 on the original cost of the propety
Given the nature and age of the freehold propety, the trustees have concluded that it is not possible
to identify the component parts of its cost and have therefore continued to apply a straight-line charge
for depreciation of 1 % per annum.
Taxation
As a registered charity, Relate Leicestershire Ltd is exempt from any liability lo taxation.
Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable for the period are
charged in the profit and loss account.
