Rephael House - Year Ending 05 April 2025

Company Number 5294008

Director's Annual Report and Review of Financial Activities

General and Administrative Information

Rephael House, a Company Limited by Guarantee, number 5294008, was incorporated on 23[rd] November 2004 and registered by the Charity Commission as Charity Number 1109437 on 11[th] May 2005. Throughout this report it is referred to as "the Company".

Rephael House previously operated as Rephael House Trust, an independent charity formed under Deed of Trust executed on 12[th] May 1996 and registered by the Charity Commission as Charity Number 1056062 on 11[th] June 1996.

The Directors for the whole of 2024/25 were Nicholas Cole, Tania Kotsokechagia and Deborah Tugulu. In addition, Holly Hunter was appointed on 20[th] March 2025.

The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law, but throughout this report are referred to as "the Directors". The Directors have the power to appoint new directors.

The Company's Registered Office is at 36b Woodhouse Road, North Finchley, London N12 0RG and the Company Secretary is John Govey. The Company's solicitor is Kirkwoods, 41a Church Road, Stanmore, Middlesex, HA7 4AB.

A bank account in the name of Rephael House is held with CafCash Ltd., PO Box 289, West Malling, Kent ME19 4TA and further accounts have been opened with the Co-Operative Bank plc, PO Box 101, 1 Balloon Street, Manchester M60 4EP.

Purposes and Aims

Our Objects

The charitable objects of the Company are:

The relief of people within the Greater London Area, the County of Hertfordshire and surrounding districts who are in conditions of need, hardship, distress or sickness arising from pregnancy, abortion, physical or sexual abuse, the breakdown of marriage/family life, personal relationships, bereavement, financial problems, eating disorders, addictions, mental illness and other afflictions by the provision of general counselling and advice and the advancement of the education of the public within the said district on matters relating to such conditions.

The Focus of our Work

These objects are currently fulfilled by running Rephael House as an affordable therapeutic service which provides professional confidential support. Within this environment we are able to support our service users on the journey to positive emotional and mental health. Rephael House also provides outreach services to schools and colleges.

RePHAEL is an acronym standing for Respecting People’s Health and Emotional Life.

Ensuring our Work Delivers our Aims

We review our aims, objectives and activities on an ongoing basis. The pandemic allowed the charity to review its working practices along with the annual planning day. Following this it has been more beneficial, and easier to respond quicky to a changing environment, to update the Directors in more depth on a monthly basis in substitution of an annual review. A newsletter is sent regularly to the Directors and contains changes at the centre, as well as any relevant news. Directors have the opportunity to respond to this, and items of discussion are taken to quarterly Board meetings.

This ensures our aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives. We have continued to review the effectiveness of the charity with annual appraisals and continual client feedback.

How our Activities Deliver Public Benefit

Service Users

Our therapeutic service offers weekly sessions to clients in our target groups. The length of therapy is dependent on which service is accessed. Clients can self-refer or be referred. They receive a short telephone assessment with the Clinical Services Manager (CSM) or the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and then are either allocated to the most appropriate therapist or placed on our waiting list. When they are placed with a therapist, initial assessment sessions are undertaken to establish the nature of the client’s presenting issues in further detail, as well as to confirm that therapy is the appropriate step at that time and that external agencies are not required.

All non-funded clients are charged for therapy sessions: the cost to the centre is £55 per session delivered and clients are asked to contribute, where possible, a minimum of £25 towards this cost. For those unable to cover this cost a further discretionary fund may be available, but this is subject to funding.

Counselling Arrangements

With the collaboration of the CEO and CSM, the service has continued to grow throughout the year, and they continue to run and develop the professional services within Rephael House and the outreach services.

In the last year we have employed the services of 7 therapists. At the end of the period the total therapist team was 35; this was either in their capacity as a student on placement, an employed therapist, or sessional worker. Annual reviews were completed during the year.

We continued to work with several schools, primary and secondary in Barnet and Hertfordshire. Play therapy is provided for children under the age of 12, and counselling for older pupils. This service is provided by qualified therapists with specific training and experience in working with children and young people.

The commissioned services in Barnet and Hatfield have continued during the year. We were made aware during the year that the Hatfield CAMHS service would be ending in April 2025. The Hatfield service continues to offer a long-term service alongside the commissioned CAMHS service.

Clinical team meetings, between therapists, CEO, CSM and the Supervisors have continued every two weeks.

Child Protection Training had been completed by all those requiring it, including a relevant course for Directors, and DBS checks are carried out and updated appropriately. All therapists work to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. Qualified therapists must be accredited with a professional body, or be working towards accreditation.

Centre Administration and Publicity

Regular meetings are held between the CEO, CSM, the Business Manager and Administrator to ensure the smooth running of the centre. The CEO and CSM also meet with the centre supervisors to ensure that therapists are working in an ethical manner.

Rephael House is an organisational member of BACP, Youth Access and CommUNITY Barnet.

All policies and procedures have been updated for the coming year.

We continue to use social media for the promotion of the services we offer; also an active and informative website which can be accessed at: http://www.rephaelhouse.org.uk. Our social media is updated regularly. These accounts help us to stay connected with a wider community and keep up to date with other organisations and professionals in the field of mental health. This has increased our presence online and has allowed people to be able to access our services with ease.

Referrals from all services continue to increase and we continue to receive client referrals from GPs and health professionals, as well as through schools.

We send out a newsletter monthly to the friends of Rephael House, funders and ex-clients as well as other professionals, which amounts to over 650 people and have received positive feedback.

We also attend networking and professional meetings and ensure that everyone is informed of the services we provide, as well as the waiting times.

Reserves Policy

“Free Reserves” describe that part of the funds that is freely available for general purposes at the discretion of the Directors, but which is not yet spent, committed or designated, i.e. surplus liquid assets excluding endowments, restricted funds, designated funds and fixed assets held for the purposes of the Company.

The Reserves Policy sets the level of financial reserves, in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission, in order to maximise the resources available for the work of the Company.

The level at which these reserves is set should be adequate to cover the following elements:

The maximum reserves figure for 2024/25, calculated on the basis of the above policy, is £250,000. The reserves actually held on 5[th] April 2025 were £140,033 (unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets). Reserves were £77,588 in 2024.

The Directors have also designated a discretionary fund to provide assisted places.

Investment Policy

It is the responsibility of the Directors to review the performance of investments from time to time.

This is undertaken regularly. A higher rate deposit account with Hampshire Trust Bank was opened in 2017/18. A longer term investment of £65,000 was made in January 2018 in a unit trust with St James’s Place. This lost £153 in the current year (gained £11,333 in 2023/24). See Note 7 to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 23[rd] November 2004 and registered as a charity on 11[th] May 2005. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in Note 4 to the Statement of Financial Activities.

The more traditional business and therapeutic skills are now well represented on the Management Committee. In an effort to maintain this broad skill mix, members of the Management Committee regularly assess their skills, any skills deficits are identified at the annual planning day and active recruitment of new directors with these skills are sought.

Director Induction and Training

Induction training is provided for Directors, covering:

Directors are encouraged to meet staff and volunteers at various agency events held over the year.

Organisational Structure

The Directors have to meet at least twice a year, two Directors forming a quorum. Four on-line meetings were held in 2024/25. In addition, decisions may be taken by means of a resolution in writing, by telephone, or by e-mail. Day-to-day decisions concerning the centre running are delegated to Anesta Edge as CEO.

The Directors have a number of independent contacts, whose advice they can draw on as required. Current contacts include an accountant, solicitor, nurse, and previous volunteer counsellors.

Risk Assessment

It is the responsibility of the Directors to identify, assess and mitigate against any major risks to which the Company is exposed. A separate risk register is being prepared by the Directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1 Accounting Policies

1a Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared for the year to 5 April 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102, second edition, October 2019); the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) amended to January 2022; and the Charities Act 2011.

The Company constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Directors are pleased to report that, despite losses in the current year, the work is continuing to expand and it is anticipated that income will further increase in subsequent years. The Company remains in a satisfactory state of solvency.

1b Funds

General funds represent the funds of the Company that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the Company. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the Directors are also unrestricted.

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the Directors are responsible in law.

1c Income

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when received by or on behalf of the Company. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income Is recognised. Grants and legacies to the Company are accounted for as soon as the Directors are notified of its entitlement, that receipt is probable and the amount due can be measured reliably.

As it is impractical for the contribution of volunteers to be measured reliably for accounting purposes, their voluntary work is not credited in the financial statements.

Income from charitable activities

All income from charitable activities is accounted for gross.

Investment income

Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.

1d Expenditure

Grants

Grants and donations are recorded when paid over, or when awarded if that award creates a constructive obligation on the Directors.

Support costs

Support costs represent expenditure that does not directly relate to a specific activity. All support costs have been allocated to charitable activities because any allocation between the specific activities would be immaterial.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Page 9 of 13

Rephael House - Year Ending 05 April 2025

1e Fixed Assets

Fixtures, Fittings and Office Equipment

Equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over three years. Individual items with a purchase price of £1,500 or less are written off on acquisition.

1f Current Assets

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than one month from the date of acquisition. Deposits for more than one month but less than one year have been disclosed as short term deposits. Cash placed on deposit for more than one year is disclosed as a fixed asset investment.

Stock and Work in Progress

This is not shown on the Balance Sheet, as no significant stock is held.

1g Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the trustees anticipate it will pay to settle the debt.

1h Statement of cash flows

The financial statements do not include a statement of cash flows as the Company constitutes a small charity under the SORP.

Note 2 General Funds and Designated Funds (Unrestricted)

General funds represent the funds of the Company that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the Company.

Funds designated for a particular purpose by the Directors are also unrestricted. At the end of 2015/16, the Directors designated a discretionary fund for the benefit of those service users who cannot afford the full cost of their counselling. This fund is replenished each year. The building fund for future maintenance and expansion fund for the Hatfield centre have now been discontinued and are no longer designated.

Rephael House - Year Ending 05 April 2025

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Rephael House

I report on the accounts of the company for the period ended 5[th] April 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

have not been met; or

Signed:
