Chairs’ Report

The last year has seen some significant changes for us, following Relate UK entering administration in November 2024. This saddening news meant that our trustees, management team, staff and volunteers had to work exceptionally hard to maintain services and secure our future.

With a heritage going back almost 72 years, we know and value that relationships are the bedrock of a healthy and thriving Britain.

Therefore, after rebranding as Relationships Coventry and Warwickshire on the 1st April 2025, we continue to work at the heart of communities to deliver a wide range of services, thus supporting couples, families and children across our area.

As Relationships Coventry and Warwickshire, we continue to offer affordable counselling, mediation and other support for every kind of relationship, prioritising direct human connection between our highly skilled practitioners and our clients.

We continue to work in partnership with former Relate Centres and are excited to be part of a newly formed network, Relationships England & Wales. Like ourselves, branches that previously formed part of the Relate Federation. This enables us to strengthen our ability to serve our beneficiaries and meet the ever-evolving needs within wider communities. As an evolving organisation we will continue to seek out new partnerships and collaborations locally and nationally to enable us to deliver joined up services and support where required.

Whist we recognise the year has been challenging due to the demise of Relate UK, we have seen a demand for face to face counselling has increased following a couple of years after the COVID pandemic and we now see over 80% of clients wanting to see a counsellor face to face. We are fortunate to have a welcoming and engaging environment to offer at our Coventry office.

The OPCC funding ended at 31st March 2025, which enabled us to offer increased capacity to men who are using harmful behaviours within their relationships. As this door closed with the funding we worked with RESPECT UK and have partnered with them to offer MAC (Make a Change) from September 2025. This will be a 3-year opportunity to work with men and women who wish to engage in a programme to reduce violence and abuse within their relationship.

Our Time for you service continues to be well received in the community. We have had success in being able to create and deliver male victim services with Anchor Point starting in August 2025.

We have worked extremely hard during the year to ensure that the local community can access our range of services, offering support to families who are on a low income and families feeling the pressure regarding the cost-of-living crisis. Our ethos is to ensure that every person can receive support irrespective of income. We are fortunate to have a diversity of contracts to deliver services to children and young people, adults and families across Coventry and Warwickshire, working as required with partner agencies.

Chairs’ Report

==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

During the year we have recruited new counsellors and domestic abuse practitioners and our workforce plan to recruit and train more relationship counsellors in the next 5 years is on schedule. We also continued to increase the breadth of knowledge and experience on the Trustee Board, recruiting new trustees to offer us the skills and knowledge to support our organisation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our funders for their support which has enabled our organisation to offer bursaries for clients to assist in covering the costs for those people who are unable to afford the full fee. We will continue into 2025 to reach as many people as possible in our local community who need our help and support. I am grateful to the trustees, management team, colleagues, and volunteers, our partnerships with local charities, Coventry City Council and Warwickshire County Council, who enable us to continue to provide services. We remain focused on providing timely, and cost-effective approaches to alleviate issues prevalent in modern society. As ever, the main asset of the Charity is our staff and volunteers, and I would like to thank them all for their hard work and continued commitment for the families in our community. I would also like to express my gratitude to my fellow trustees, management team, staff and volunteers for their support, dedication, and valued contributions over this year.

Best regards.

The Executive Committee is the governing body of Relationships Coventry & Warwickshire.

The Committee meets quarterly. Its main responsibilities are listed below:

2.4 Risk management

The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity. Detailed consideration of risks is delegated to the Finance Committee, which is assisted by senior members of staff. The strategic risks facing the organisation are those risks “owned” by the Charity’s trustees and are regularly reviewed by the Finance and Audit Committee. RCW’s project management framework helps senior management and trustees to monitor outcomes against strategic priorities. RCW’s Strategic Risk Register has identified the following as the key strategic risks it faces: Unwitting breaches of legislation, or compliance with, for example:

Not having the right people with the right skills, attitudes and behaviour to deliver the corporate strategy across the whole organisation. Risks are identified annually and reviewed on a quarterly basis. Significant changes are subsequently reported to the Finance and audit committee. RCW also manages specific projects, each of which have their own project risk register, which are regularly reviewed as part of the performance management within the organisation.

In addition to the specific risk management mechanism described above, a number of other key controls help trustees manage the major risks facing the charity:

Through these key controls, the Trustees continue to strive to manage the major risks identified in the Charity’s risk register. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Good governance is an integral part of how we operate, and our compliance is reviewed regularly in our Finance and Audit committees and at the full board meetings. A key element is to ensure that we monitor performance against budgets and the opportunity to review and amend is acted upon. Our Risk Register is key in how the business element of our charity is monitored and risks are categorised and scored manage them appropriately and mitigate wherever possible. We understand and appreciate the importance of good governance, and this has a continual influence on the senior management team and the Board.

3.5 Core Activities

In order to deliver our strategic goals, we offer six core activities:

Relationship Counselling – helping couples and individuals to resolve issues arising from their relationships. Our counsellors help people to discuss their feelings, attitudes and expectations and help with communication and problem solving. We aim to empower our clients by increasing their understanding, so that they can go on to make choices about how they manage their relationships.

Individual Counselling – supporting individuals with a range of issues, including separation, bereavement, family issues and low self-esteem.

Sex therapy – an assessment and treatment programme which enables our clients to address the physical, emotional and psychological issues associated with sex. As the only national provider of Sex therapy, we also work with people who have problems with their sex lives due to poor health or disability.

Children and young people’s services – helps children and young people explore and develop coping strategies for issues such as family breakdown, bullying and peer relationships, bereavement, the formation of new families or the absence of a family member in their life. RCW is the largest UK provider of counselling support for children and young people with over 28 years’ experience in this area.

Family counselling – to help family members in resolving difficulties and concerns in their relationships with one another. We support clients by increasing their understanding of each other’s needs and by improving communication, both within the couple relationship and across generations.

Domestic Abuse – we will provide specialist support for children and young people who have witnessed and experienced domestic abuse, offering counselling and a psychoeducational programme for those aged 5 years and upwards.

We offer behaviour change programmes for adults who are using abusive behaviour in their relationships which will include one-to-one services and group-based programmes.

Education and learning – to provide people with the knowledge and skills needed for personal and professional development. We offer a wide range of workshops and courses for couples, individuals, parents and young people. This is a major part of our preventative work, to ensure that we are helping people to boost or maintain their relationship as opposed to just helping when things are declining or in crisis.

Report of the independent auditors to the members of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire

Financial Review

7. Overview

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) set out on page 27 shows the total income and total expenditure during 2023/24 as compared to the prior year.

The overall result was a net surplus for the year of £60,082 (2023/24: (£42,760).

7.1 Financial Investments

The Executive Committee’s investment policy is reviewed annually as part of the review of the Financial Policies and Procedures. The cash balances fluctuate throughout the year. The policy enables cash that is not immediately required to be invested subject to risk being minimised and access being rapid, within institutions that are members of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Within this framework the best interest rates are sought, and performance is regularly reviewed. We have a savings account which matures interest every three months, and the interest is currently reinvested.

7.2 Reserves policy

The definition of reserves follows the guidance given by the Charity Commission. They are funds available to be used to furtherance of the charitable objects which have not yet been spent, committed, or designated.

They therefore exclude restricted funds (where donors impose criteria for their use), fixed assets (which are in current use to support the ongoing work of the charity) and funds designated for specific purposes.

The calculation of easily realisable reserves is shown in note 17 and shows an increase in the year of £60,082. To date the board has set a target reserves policy of between 4 – 6 months of expenditure. The Trustees reviewed the Reserves policy in March 2025 as part of the risk management process. The trustees consider that unrestricted funds should not exceed six months of resources expended. A minimum target of easily realisable reserves is set at £573,000.

7.3 Land and Buildings

The Executive Committee agreed on 27th September 2024 to sell New House and the property was sold and completed at 31.1.2025. After disbursements £409,969.33 was received.

7.4 Principal funding sources

There is a comprehensive system of business planning which includes an annual budget reviewed in detail by the Finance, Premises and Fundraising Sub Committee and approved by the Executive Committee. Monthly actual results are reported against the budget and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly. The Executive Committee reviews the latest management accounts at each meeting.

8. Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Relationships Coventry & Warwickshire Coventry & Warwickshire for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The 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 financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

Independent Auditors Report

9. Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Relationships Coventry & Warwickshire (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cashflow Statement and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

9.1 Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) 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 financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, 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.

9.2 Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

9.3 Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the board’s annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible

24

==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Report and Accounts for year ended 31st March 2025

Report of the independent auditors to the members of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire

for the other information contained within the board’s annual report. Our opinion on 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. 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 course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

9.4 Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

9.5 Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the board’s annual report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

9.6 Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the board’s responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing

25

==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Report and Accounts for year ended 31st March 2025

Report of the independent auditors to the members of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire

the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

9.7 Auditor’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 to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc. org.uk/library/standards-codes-policy/audit-assurance-andethics/auditors-responsibilitiesfor-the-audit/#description-of-the-auditors-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-financialstatementsaef17638. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

9.8. 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

26

==> picture [74 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Report and Accounts for year ended 31st March 2025

Report of the independent auditors to the members of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire

that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to 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 a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to financial statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income is deferred where it has been received ahead of the period where the use of funds will incur. Usually this will relate either to appointments where a deposit has been received in the current accounting period, but the appointment will be conducted in the following accounting period, or where income has been invoiced in advance for services to be delivered in agreed sessions in future periods.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated directly to the fund and activity that they relate to. Where the costs are shared between activities or funds, an apportionment is made based on the units of work conducted for the units sharing the costs.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 25% on cost

The trustees consider that the residual value of the property is materially similar to the carrying value. Depreciation is therefore not considered to be a material amount and no provision for depreciation is made in the financial statements.

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds 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 set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. 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 statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
