2. Structure, Governance and Management

Governing document:

The Counselling and Family Centre (CFC) is a company limited by guarantee and not having share capital, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 9 November 2009.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees:

CFC has a trustee recruitment and appointment process. Adverts are placed locally and nationally for trustees and networks are used. Potential trustees have an initial informal meeting with the Chief Executive and The Chair ofTrustees , are given information, and invited to attend trustee meetings as an observer. If they decide they would like to become a trustee and the board consider them acceptable, they are accepted after suitable references have been received. New Trustees are given an introductory pack containing details of formal trustee responsibilities as laid down in charity and company law; CFC's memorandum and articles of association, the latest set of accounts, and they are expected to familiarise themselves with the contents of the pack.

Organisational structure:

CFC's board has no set maximum number and currently consists of eight members, meeting every month, mainly via Microsoft Teams. A Chief Executive is appointed by the trustees. Together with other CFC employees, the Chief Executive manages the day to day operation of the charity. The Board has identified key areas of strategic and operational focus and has nominated a 'lead' Trustee to ensure that work progresses and appropriate updates are regularly provided to the board.

Risk management:

The Trustees maintain a risk register and regularly assess the major risks identified, in particular those relating to the operation and finance of the organisation, and are satisfied that procedures and systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to risk.

CFC's strategic plan:

This continues to form a part of risk management by providing a clear set of goals for the medium term (the next 3+ years) and has the following key objectives:

3. Objectives and Activities

Background to CFC

The CFC was founded in 1975 in response to a local need for easily accessible support for individuals and families experiencing intolerable stress. The charity has over 45 years' experience of delivering counselling and therapeutic support mainly, but not exclusively, in Trafford Borough. Over time the organisation has evolved in terms of the focus and range of services offered, but it remains at the heart of its community providing high quality easily accessible services.

4

The Counselling and Family Centre, Altrincham

Over the past 12 months we have focussed on our collaborative work with other third sector organisations using our knowledge and experience of mental health and emotional well-being issues to add value to the support available for those in need in our communities. This has been achieved through our counselling offer, through expanding our group work and supportive clinical facilitation and by growing our ever-expanding training arm. We are also active participants on a number of boards and management groups, including the Trafford Community Collective.

Despite our expansion both geographically and in staff numbers we continue to operate in the spirit of a local charity, very much rooted in our respective communities. We do this by drawing from the specific geographic locations our large number of valued staff and volunteers who fulfil the whole spectrum of roles from reception to trustees, and by responding to the very specific needs of the those communities.

CFC Ethos: Vision, Mission and Values

We are committed to providing support when it is needed, as quickly as is possible and in such a way that it is easy to access, flexible in its delivery and responsive to changing needs. We are here for:

Whatever Life Throws at You

Our doors are open to everyone - we won't turn anyone away because of where they live or how much they can afford to pay. Our core service is the provision of counselling. Our qualified counselling professionals tailor the service to each individual, couple or family so that we can be here for them when they need us, for as long as they need us, and no matter what is causing the problem. We can help to find a way forward, gain in confidence, lead a happier life, and break the cycle.

We are equally as responsive, flexible and inclusive in our approach to our staff and volunteers and are justifiably proud of our diversity. We are completely blind to anything other than competence or the promise of competence. We are a team, and we all work together. Standards are high but so, we like to think, is the training and support we offer.

CFC Core Values

We have 8 Core Values that underpin everything that we do. They provide a framework for the development of a healthy team, as well as informing the design and delivery of all CFC projects.

• Integrity We promote a culture of honesty, trust and respect throughout the organisation • Teamwork We believe that we are stronger when we work together • Individuals We recognise that each and every person has unique value • Quality We are an outcomes-based organisation, committed to high quality standards • Equality We believe in treating everybody equally and in equal access to opportunity • Creativity We believe that creativity encourages individual and organisational growth • Choice We believe that choices can change everything • Solution We are committed to the possibility of positive change - be that the individual or the Focussed organisation.

CFC Vision Statement

We believe that our model as a mental health charity is one that is capable of replication across a wider geographical landscape. It is a model that will stand up to scrutiny in terms of how we operate for our staff and volunteers, in the outcomes for our service users and the wider community, and in the value for money we achieve for our funders.

Current work of CFC

CFC provides a range of counselling services in line with its vision, mission and key organisational aims from its Centres on Mayors Road, Altrincham and Parkhills Road Bury.

In addition to this we provide counselling from Blue SCl's centre on the Broomwood Estate, for CleanStart in Old Trafford and in junior, secondary and special schools and in colleges. We also supply counselling and additional support services under contract with both the statutory and third sectors.

The remote counselling services deployed as a result of the Covid pandemic have been retained and continue to grow, enabling us to work with clients across the UK.

We have a skilled team of approximately 50 counsellors, supported by 3 clinical practice supervisors who are themselves supported by the Clinical Services Manager. The background, breadth of knowledge and experience of our clinical team underpins CFC's ability to offer services in a range of languages and approaches and to ensure the best match to our service users' mental health and emotional well-being needs, and at the locations and times that fit best with the demands of their daily life.

We strive to offer a high quality professional service to all our clients, and our counselling services are accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

The majority of our clients self-refer and have a pre-start assessment. Our criteria for accepting clients are simply 'Are they psychologically available?' and 'Is there a focus for the work?' If these criteria are met and the client wishes to proceed, we offer an 8 week cycle of sessions and then re-assessment and re-contracting should the client wish to continue for longer. Demand for CFC services increases year on year as gaps in statutory provision continue to grow.

We have an internal referral procedure for clients beginning in one part of the service e.g. Couples, and finding they may be better supported in e.g. our Families service, or for clients who request a different counsellor. We offer all our services free of charge for an assessment and up to 8 counselling sessions for all households on a low income.

We offer counselling for:

Additional to our counselling service we offer a range of support groups, some on line, some based in our Community cafe and at other locations:

6

The Counselling and Family Centre, Altrincham

Support groups include:

We also have a training arm:

CFC offers a range of training courses for business, counsellors and related professionals, members of the public. This includes, for example:

Mental Health First Aid (accredited programme) Working with PTSD issues Cultural Awareness Mental Well-Being at Work Managing Change

The majority of training, from half day workshops to 7 day courses, is delivered by an in house team of counsellors/trainers who bring an impressive array of skills and experience to the task. We have an annual programme of 1 day to 6 week courses, and are able to produce bespoke tailored courses on request.

A new initiative for 2022 has been a collaboration between ourselves and the West Trafford Primary Care Network to start the process of setting up a pilot Children and Young Person's Social Prescriber role working with the GP practices in West Trafford.

Community Cafe

Additional developments:

We continue to be actively involved with The Trafford Community Collective (TCC). TCC is a member-led organisation that supports the development of the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Trafford by promoting a collective and partnership approach to service development and delivery. The vision of the TCC sees the sector as an equal partner in improving the health and well being of Trafford's residents, working with the statutory sector in taking an active part in the planning, commissioning and delivery of services. TCC has 5 sector leads across the North, West, Central and South borough neighbourhoods. CFC is the lead for South Trafford.

During 2023 we will be expanding our service to include working from Gorse Hill Studios and Out There, both in Stretford.

CFC Outcomes

As a solution focused/outcomes-based organisation, it is essential that the need for any work we undertake is evidenced and that projects are deliberately designed to make an impact which can be measured.

Practically we work to achieve this through:

Despite increased demand we saw 50% of people in less than 2 weeks from their first contact with us. The most frequent presenting problem continues to be anxiety and stress, followed by bereavement and loss, interpersonal relationships, depression, trauma/abuse and issues around self-esteem. Secondary problems reveal anger management and parenting/family problems as frequent issues. The rise in the incidence of self­ harm and suicidal ideation, particularly in young people is a marked and very worrying trend.

We have an excellent track record of delivering measurable positive change for people of all ages. For those completing their therapy in 2022:

4. Public Benefit

We are committed to offering affordable, easy to access counselling and emotional well-being services at a time when demand is growing and statutory provision, particularly at a preventative level, is limited.

We listen to our service users, and we use their feedback to develop and refine everything we do. Most recently this has led to the development of courses to widen understanding around the impact of neurodiversity and to support those managing issues around suicide and self-harm.

8

The Counselling and Family Centre, Altrincham

We care deeply about the whole experience. We ask everyone 'What did we do well'? Some of the responses:

As a mental health charity, we are still experiencing the after effects of the 2020 global pandemic. This is exacerbated by the continuous financial stress experienced by so many in our communities and the pressures that exposure to social media places on so many of our young people. It has been manifest in the increasing levels of distress shared by service users and the subsequent resulting increase in the incidence of the need to work on a case-by-case basis with the statutory services to ensure the best possible support is provided.

S. Financial Review

Income

The financial results include, for the first time, the full years operating income and costs of the former charity, The Relationship Hub ("TRH"), the operations of which were taken over and absorbed into CFC in November 2021. Incoming resources in the year ended 31 December 2022 were £656,151 (2021 £647,519), an increase of 1.3%. Some 30.2% (2021 30.4%) of this was restricted income received in the form of grants. The remaining income comprised:

Expenditure

Total expenditure in the year was £749,360 (2021 £541,379), a increase of 38.42%. This principally reflects the costs associated with TRH's operations. There was a deficit on unrestricted funds in the year of £89,639 (2021 surplus £115,978), which when taken from unrestricted funds brought forward of £290,997 and increased by a release of £1,699 from restricted funds gives total unrestricted funds of £203,057 at the year end. From this the Trustees have set aside£ 38,136 into designated funds,for a sinking fund which the Trustees have set up. The Trustees have had estimates produced of the building works that are likely to be necessary over the next 15 years on the property which CFC occupies to ensure that it continues to meet the standards required under its lease and under Health and Safety Regulations. The total estimated costs originally estimated over a 20 year period were £100,000, and the Trustees are therefore setting aside £5,000 per annum to ensure that there are funds available as and when the work needs to be done. After deducting these designated funds, the general fund stands at£ 158,697.

9

The Counselling and Family Centre, Altrincham

Reserves Policy

The objective of the Trustees' reserves policy is to protect CFC and its charitable activities by ensuring adequate liquidity such that, should the need arise, CFC is able to close down or restructure all or part of its operations whilst still meeting all its financial obligations and without compromising CFC's core services. As a result, CFC has set a target of holding unrestricted reserves equating to a minimum of three months and a maximum of six months expenditure. Total unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2022 were £202,393, which is within the parameters set by the policy.

Funds Available

CFC will continue to work to secure further long term grant funding and to nurture opportunities for additional sources of earned income. The Trustees regularly review funding projections for the current and future years to ensure the organisation makes any required changes in a proactive manner should significant funding reductions be experienced.

Financial Responsibilities and Accounting Procedures

CFC regularly reviews its financial processes and procedures to ensure that they remain appropriate to the size and nature of the charity's operations.

6. Statement of Trustees responsibilities

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 the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing the accounts 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 it 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 taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, and trustees for the purposes of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 3.

7. Independent Examiners Report

To the members on the unaudited accounts of the Counselling and Family Centre for the year ended 31st December 2022.

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st December 2022, which are set out on pages 13 to 26.

Respective responsibilities of trustee 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 43(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 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 you as 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 Report

No matters have come to my attention in the 2022 Financial Statements, which gives me

The transfers from restricted to unrestricted funds relate to grants received for the purchase of assets. Such grants are transferred to a designated fund to cover the depreciation on these assets over the life of the assets. A transfer is made each year to the General Fund to offset the depreciation charge for the year.

In addition, in 2015 a sinking fund was established to cover major refurbishment costs. An estimate of £100,000 was produced as the cost of the building works that are likely to be necessary over the 20 years {the period of CFC's lease - see note 16) from the date of establishment of the fund to ensure that it continues to meet the standards required under its lease and under Health and Safety regulations. £5,000 is being set aside each year and drawn on as and when the identified expenditure arises

In addition, the building occupied by CFC is owned by Trafford County Council. On 8 March 2017 the Trustees signed a new 20 year lease with the Council. Under this lease the charity will pay a peppercorn rent for the first five years. Thereafter an annual rent will be payable based on 50% of any surplus arising in the preceding financial year, after taking account of any transfers to reserves required to maintain them at the level agreed by the Trustees.
