These statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Legal Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, registered under the Companies Act and its governing document is a Memorandum and Articles of Association under company legislation.

Its certificate of incorporation is dated 23 December 2004 and the last amendment to the governing document is dated 23 September 2010.

By operation of law, all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation. The trustees are all individuals.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Purposes of the Charity as set out in its Governing Document

To educate the public concerning the benefits of secure couple relationships, marriage and family life in order to improve the emotional, sexual and spiritual well-being of individuals which is derived from committed relationships;

To seek to enhance, the good health, both mental and physical, of adults and children by:

To provide counselling, advice, education, guidance and relief to adults and/or children in relation to any aspect of contemporary life or work which may:

To relieve those in need by reason of youth, age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage; and

To promote research into all the above objects and to make the results available to the public.

The Main Activities Undertaken in Relation to those Purposes During the Year

Relate Avon undertook the following main activities:

The Contribution of Volunteers During the Year

Practitioners in training as adult relationship counsellors sometimes work in a voluntary capacity. In addition, a small number of trained counsellors offer their time and skills for no pay.

In addition, the trustees provide their time on a voluntary basis. We are grateful for the contribution made by all the volunteers.

The Main Achievements and Performance of the Charity During the Year

Demand for our services remained strong across all of the four local authority areas we serve: Bristol, South Gloucestershire, Bath & North East Somerset and North Somerset. During the 12 months 2,090 clients registered with us which resulted in 621 cases and 5,045 appointments. The majority of appointments were for relationship counselling with 133 family counselling and 501 sex therapy appointments.

This represents an increase of 18% on the previous year. This has been possible by increasing our counselling provision through both recruiting new counsellors and improving some of the employment

arrangements with existing counsellors. We have also addressed some process issues which have allowed us to improve the percentage of sessions offered that get filled.

It has also been gratifying to see the return to face-to-face counselling. Covid taught us all the possibilities of online counselling and this remains an important part of our service, but overall more than 50% of sessions are now delivered in person.

Our commitment to ensuring our services are financially accessible to all ensured we delivered 741 reduced cost sessions to 130 cases at a cost of £24,455. Whilst we’re proud of this provision it’s clear that we could be doing much more. We see both growing demand for our services and increasing constraints on people’s ability to pay. To that end we have developed and started implementing a fundraising strategy to specifically fund this provision.

We’d like to thank the following for their support during the year: John James Bristol Foundation; The Big Give Trust and The Battens Charitable Trust.

The Difference the Charity's Performance During the Year has Made to the Beneficiaries of the Charity and to the Wider Society

Clients come to Relate when they’ve been struggling, sometimes for a long time. They report that Relate counselling helped them make positive changes and that they’re better able to deal with the issues they came about. Many clients feel huge benefits with implications for their wellbeing and also for their partners, families, friendships, work and quality of life.

Here are some comments from clients:

“I just wanted you to know that the session you gave me was incredibly helpful and I am truly grateful. You helped me more than you could ever know. You listened to me without making me feel judged ... you planted the seeds for me to believe in myself.”

“Relate has allowed me to open the door to emotional communication (with) tools and techniques to help manage my relationships. I feel this has helped my family stay bonded and even my children have commented that we are getting on much better. Thankyou.”

“Our Counsellor was perceptive and kind, but not afraid to challenge us where we needed. It proved extremely important and impactful for both of us and helped us hugely.”

“I cannot fully express the difference Relate has made to my life - but I have gone from being broken, to feeling like myself again. I couldn’t recommend my counsellor highly enough and anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is incredibly lucky.”

Chair's Report

The ‘new’ board of trustees has now completed their first full year with Relate Avon and we are pleased with progress made. Not only has the charity reported a surplus after last year’s deficit, but counselling sessions delivered have increased by 18%. However, there’s more to do!

We are fortunate that our board members have an impressive range of complementary skills and work well as a team. We have looked to explore and develop a refreshed strategy for Relate Avon. The world of counselling is changing through new business models and online providers, and increased awareness of the benefits. We believe there is considerable unmet demand for Relate Avon’s service and that we can (and should) be doing more in line with our charitable mission. Further that long term security and success will be better secured through being a larger organisation.

RELATE AVON

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

To deliver on our strategy we are investing in management, the counselling team and back office functions. This will mean higher expenditure over the coming year as we build the framework for a bigger organisation. We are fortunate that our CEO, Rob Booth has the skills for this challenge: a chartered accountant with considerable charity and business management experience, but also previously a counsellor with Relate Avon for 11 years.

We are also fortunate to have a very stable staff team who are supportive of these changes. I would like to express my thanks to them and volunteers across the administrative and counselling teams for their continued commitment to providing an excellent service to our clients. I'd also like to reiterate my thanks to the Trustees (past and present) for their time and expertise in ensuring Relate Avon retains strong governance and has a bright future.

Financial Review

The financial position of the charity at 31 March 2024 and comparatives for the period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:

Total income for the year amounted to £369,700 (previous year £284,445).

Total costs for the year amounted to £353,034 (previous year £308,862).

The surplus for the year was £16,666 (against a previous year deficit of £24,417).

The Trustees are pleased with the financial performance of the charity during the year ending 31 March 2024. Total income rose by nearly 30% despite there being no increase in our counselling fees. In addition, the charity recorded a surplus of £16,666 as against a deficit in the previous year of £24,417.

Reserves Policy

The reserves policy outlines the following primary reasons for holding reserves:

The Executive Committee consider that it is appropriate to maintain free reserves (those unrestricted funds which are not invested in fixed assets, designated for a particular purpose or otherwise committed) at a minimum level of £100,000. Free reserves in excess of this amount will be designated for bursaries for clients, training counsellors, and/or a fund for the development of services.

The coming year will see the charity investing funds in building a framework for growth, especially in our management team and hopefully resolving long term issues with our Bristol premises. The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Funds Received as Agent or Funds Held as Custodian Trustee

There are no assets, classes of assets or categories of assets held on behalf of other entities.

Statement of responsibilities of the Management Committee

The trustees (who are also directors of Relate Avon for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
