Hull and East Yorkshire Counselling Limited Fomierly RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire Trustees. Report Chalrperson's Report 202412025 Thls year has been one of Signifint change for our Organisation. It has been very unsettling for everyonè involved and has caused a lot of hard work but we have prevailedl Relate Federation went into administration - As a group of federated centres we mad8 an offer so that we coufd keep the brand nam8. unfortunately this was rejected and Relate was subsequenuy sold to Family Aclion. The offer made lo us by Relate at Family Action was not sustainable as our operating fees would have increased from 20k to close to 50k. The decision was therefore made to disaffiliate and to change our name whilst keeping our Companies house registration and Charities commisslon status. Wé are now known asHull and East Yorkshir8 Counselling Limited (HEY) but we continue to provide the same quality seNice. In order to continue to offer our services as widely as possible, we commenced working out of three new outposts In Bridllngton. Goole and Beverfey. This has helped us achieve one of our objectives. to increase face to face Counselling. Our IT providers of some 20+ years closed their business and we now have a maintenance contract with Genesis. We contlnue to Improve our workplace and havg had new doUblelazed wooden wlndows fitted to replace the old rollen single glazed frames. As the majority of our building is listed, we had to replace these with Wooden Sash Windows which cost £46.000. This alsa included the need for full scaffolding around the bulkllng. The additional double glazing will help stop the heat escaping which will reduc8 our h88tin9 bills. We have also completsd a furbIShMent of the counselling rooms which included additional sound proofing together with new chalrs. Thls has created a more welcoming and comfortable atmosph9r8 to compliment the services we offer. As a busines5 we are mindful of the ongoing pressures of spiralling Costs. To this end, we continue to ensure that we bid for contracts as and when they come up for renewal and l am d81ighted to confirm that Ihe NHS contract has been renewed for a furthèr 2 years. The MS Society also renew8d their contract and we attended an awareness and Information day wh8r8 we wero able to detail what HEY can offor. Unfortunately, Humber Coast and Vala for whom we provided Couple counselling for NHS staff have ceased to exist and thereforè our contract was not renew8d. though our financial year ended with lots of unrest and unrtainty, the experience has demonstrated that we have a dedicated and talented leadership team and a loyal and hardworking team as thé work created by disaffiliating has begn ¢xtr•m•ly challen9ing and hugg. H8vin9 said that, this has offernd more opportunitios and some freedom in how we move forward. The prospect of being independent and changing the charities name has been monum8ntal in the development and future of HEY and the Trustees are fully in support and appreciative of the work c2rried out to take us forward. Recognition for the many of the achievements during the last year go to our Managing Diredor Debbie who has successfijlly propelted the busin8ss forward and guided th8 team Ihrough a very precarious time. Thanks also go to the management team, the adrninistralion slaff, and the counselh)rs for all the hard work and dedication through a very challenging time. The trustees should also receive thanks for their continued dedication and guidance. in particular to our Vice Chair Paula Litten who has tsken on such a pivolal role in the start up of the new company so far.

Hull and Eastyorkshire Counselling Limited Formerly RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire Trustees. Report Major risks and management of those risks Risk Management The trustees have assessed tha major risks to which the Charity is exposed. these include loss of contract work and the loss of the Hull Building, which is leased. The Iwstees are saiisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposu to the rnajor risks. We have expanded the number and range of contrads to ensure that the loss of some ¢ontracts would not gallY affect our provi&on of Ser$ and employnient of our current stsff. Gulding Princlpl8s Th8 Directors of Rplate acknoYAedge thal future needs of beneficiaries must not be compromised in prowding ¢urr8nt services and so future risks and liabilities need to be assessad periodically in order to maintain a proportionate and adequat8 level of reserves. It is also recognised that free reserves ara to be the value of unrestricted funds. less the cuffent value of any fixed assets held as unrestricted funds. Reasons tor malntalnlng reserves: Cash Flow- Some funds are daimed and received retrospectively. This may be on a monthly or quarterly basis. It would also be necessary to allow for actual payment from daim date, and this alone could be a further month. Uncertainty- Some funding arrdngements a made relrospectively. Some service levels agreemenls are not fully agreed until JunelJuly each year, although they are lo start in April. We may b8 expending funds in good faith that we may not be able lo recover. Aso, negative outcomes may mean redundancies that would need funding: Some funded projects incur unexpected expenditure beyond budget18vels. - C8rtainiy some funding wll ènd at a pr&detemiined date. and projects may continue lor an int8rvening period until new funding is identified. - Some funded projects expenditure trends may indicate that the project wll be set to overspend beyond ag8d funding and may need tOFFUP fvnds. Financial instruments Objgctives and policies The Charity's actitieS expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of finanrial derivatives is govemed by the charivs policies approved by the board of trustees. which prowde written prinuples on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does nol use derivative financial instrumenls for speculative purposes. Cashflow rlsk The charivs activities expose it primarily lo the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange forward ntraCtS and interest rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures. Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rale to ensure certainty of (sh flows. 12
Hull and East Yorkshire Counselling Limited Formerly RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire Trustees, Report cred risk The charity's princtpal financial assets are bank balances and cash. trade and other receivables, and investmenfs. The charity's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where ther¢ is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evÉdence of a reduction in the Tecoverability of the cash flows. The credtt risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instnLments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rdting agencies. The charity has no significant concentration of credit risL with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers. Liquidity risk In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient fund8 are available for (mgoing operations and future developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-tern] and short-tenn debt finance. Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.

Expendlture All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure. it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditur¢ heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allOted on a basis consistent with the use of resources. with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. Raisingfunds Th&se are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in rading activities that raise funds. Choritable aclivitlÈs ChaTltable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs tbat can be allocared d1ctlY to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Covernance Costs These include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustee's meetings and reimbursed expenses. Taxation The charlty is eonsidered to pass the tests set out in Paragrdph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity IS Potentially exempt from iaxation in respe£t of income or Capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part I l of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains ar¢ applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Tangible fixed asscts Individual fixed assets costing £2(K).00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairnient losses. Depreciation and amortisation Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expect¢d usefiLI economic life as follows: Asset c12SS Freehold Land Fr¢ehold Buildings Furniture and Shop Refit Depreciation method and rats Not Depreciated 150/0 on reducing Balance. l(P/o and 150/0 on Cost Page 19

Cost is deterniined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services perfornied in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognIs init1211y at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at arnortised cost using the effective intttest method, less provision for impairnient. A provision for the impainnent of trade debtors is estabLished when there is objective evidence that the charity will noz be able to collect all amounts due according to the original tenns of the receivables. Cash and cash equfivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits. and other short-tenn highly liquid inVestmtS that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Trade eredftors Trade Creditors are obligations to pay for g(KKls or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business frorn suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as cent liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right. at the end of the reporting period. to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently rneasured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value. net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing boowingS are subsequently carried at amortised cost. with the difference between the proceeds. net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redernption being recognised as a charge to the Statejnent of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. Borrowings are classified as current Eiabilities unless the charity has all unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. Page 20

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in forei currencie5 at the balance sheet date are reported at the rat¢s of exchange prevailing at that date. The results of overseas operations are translated at the average rates of exchange during the period and their balance sheets at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation of the opening net assets and results of overseas operations are reported in other comprehensive ineome and a¢cumulated in equity (attrtbuted to non-controlling interests as appropriate). Other exchange differenc4 are recognised in the Ststement of Financial Activities in the peri1 in which they arise except for: l) exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks (see above); 2) exchange differences arising on gains or losses on non-monetary items which are recognised in other comprehensive income. 3) in the case of the consolidated financial statements, exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised in other comprehensive income and reported under equity. Fund structure Unrestricied income fimds are general fimds that are available for use at the trustees discreti(rA in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Financial Instruments Classification Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabiliti¢s and ¢quity instrumcnis ar¢ classified awoiding to th¢ substanc¢ of th¢ ¢ontra¢tual atrangcmcnts ¢nt¢r¢d into.

Hull and East Yorkshire Counselling Limited Fonnerly RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 RecognItn andmeasiirement All fmancial assets and liabililles are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss. which are initially measured at fair value (which is nornially the transaction price excluding transaction costs). unless the aangefflent constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement Constitutes a fll]ancing transaction. the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the Present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position wben, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the tharity inten(Ls either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are d¢¢OgnIsed when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or e) the charity, despite having retained some, but noi all, sibmificant risks and rewards of owmeTship? has transferred control of the asset to another party. Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation spe¢ified in the ¢ontract is discharged, cancelled or expires. Page 22

(li) a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate. or (iu) a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable Tate. (b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be linked to a singl¢ relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currency in which the debt instrument is denominated, provided such links are not leveraged. {c) The contract may provide for a detenninable variation of the return to the holder during the Life of the instrumenti provided that {]) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not contingent on future events other than ( l ) a change of a contractyal variable rate" (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer. (3) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from Changes in relevant taxation or law; or (li) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a). (d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the cuent period or prior periods. (e) Contractual provisions that pernit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or pcrmit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on tUre events, other than to protect the holder against the credit deteriorazion of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law. (fj Contractual provisions may pern)it the extension of the tern] of the debt instrumen( provided that the return to the holder and any other contractual provtsions applicable during the exiended tenn satisfy the conditions of paragraphs {a) to (c). Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition and which meet the aEx)ve conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. net of impairment. With the exception of some hedging instruments. other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned alx)ve are measured at cost (which may be nil) less impairment. JiivestiMeiiÈs Investments in non-convertlble preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurabEe) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less irnpaim)ent. Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impainnent. For investrnents in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored. Page 23
Hull and East Yorkshire Counselling Limited Forn]erly RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 Derivaiivefan¢IaI inskruinenls The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instrurnents for speculative purposes. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair valu¢ at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting.gain or loss is recOlsed in statement of fancial activities immediately unless the derivative is desigmated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on the nature of ihe hedge relationship. Fair vdlue measuremenÉ' The best evidence of fair v ue is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active rnarket. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent trk)nsactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique. 3 Income from charitable actiTrities Unrestrfcted funds General Total 2025 Total 2024 462,091 462.091 446,275 Unrestricted funds Designated Total 2025 Incoming Resources for Charitable Activity 462,091 462,091 UDrestri¢¢¢d funds Designated Tolal 2024 Incoming Resources for Charitable Activity 446,275 446,275 4 Income from other tr74ding actlvltles Unrestricted funds General Total 2025 Local fundraising and street collection income Other income from other trading activities 39.542 135 39.677 39,542 135 39.677 Page 24
