DefinlnE the SWAN Project
The SWAN Project is a charity that 5pecialise5 in offering Song-term, low-cost therapy to vulnerable
adults with needs in the following areas=
Long-term dependency on alcohol
Cross addictions
Dual diagnosis
To a lesser extent. we also work with adults who may not have an addiction issue, but are without
access to support elsewhere. We don't turn people away if we think we can help.
The pmjert work5 Wlth a psychological model of addictson that seeks to increase selA-compassion
and self-care. reducing the need to rely on addlrtlve behaviours to selA-soothe. We do thts
throuqh offering l.'I coun5elllng/p5ychothernpv.
Public Benefit
The purpose of the activities of the SWAN Projert is the advancement of health. particularly
emotional and psychological, of our service users and those whose lives they touch.
Overview of Activities
Throughout the period. the project has continued to work towards and meet its charitable aims
and objectives as laid out in our governing document.
We have continued to offer I:1, long-term, low<ost therapy for vulnerable adults with alcohol
issues and complex needs. This has been done to a high standard, enabling clients to hold a good
deal of autonomy and choice in the duration and intensity of their individual therapy.
The charity has offered hi8hly sought after and supportive placements for trainee therapists, and
for those qualified therapists who wish to gain more experience. Both trainees and qualified
therapists are volunteers.
We continue to be committed to our vision for long-term therapy as we recognise that the trauma
that underpin5 $0 many addictions take a long time to address and that healing benefits from
having a long-term dependable and therapeutic relationship.

Financial Review
Flnanclal sustslnabillty
SORP: Thi5 report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended
Practice= Accounting and Reporting by Charitie5 {2LKIS).
Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities
The trustees, who are also directors of The Swan Project for the purp05e5 of company law. are
responsible for preparing the Trustees, Report 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 charitsble
company for the year. In preparing these financial statements. the trustee5 are required to..
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently:
ob5eNe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP,.
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: .
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed. subject to any
rnaterial departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,.
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the charitable company will continue in operation..
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting record5 that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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:
there is no relevant information of which the charitable company's independent examiner
is unaware. and
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselve5 aware
of any relevant information and to establish that the independent examiner is aware of
that information.
Signed by order of and with the approval of the directors:
