Trustees Report
Introduction
The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The board of trustees, notwithstanding the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic upon our activities, are satisfied with the performance of the charity during the year and the position as at 31 March 2022 and consider that the charity is in a strong position to continue its activities and meet its obligations.

Structure, governance, and management
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated on 14 October 2010.

In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Trustees are appointed by the board of trustees and serve for three years, after which period they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The Board has an on-going process of recruiting new trustees and a recruitment procedure that includes an interview to establish the skills and time that any new trustees can offer to the charity, and subsequent discussion at a meeting of the Board of Trustees. Each new trustee is given an induction pack which includes details of the charity’s background, a copy of the constitution, and relevant publications prepared by the Charity Commission.
The charity has a board of trustees that meets regularly to agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the charity.
Key Management
The Trustees consider all staff and the Board of Trustees to comprise the key management personnel of the Charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely.

Activities of HCC
History and objectives
Help Counselling was setup over 50 years ago and for many years occupied premises in Portobello Road to serve clients in the local community. The aims of the charity are to provide low-cost, long-term talking therapy to those who would otherwise not be able to access private counselling or NHS services due to cost or availability.
3
Help Counselling Centre Year ending 31 March 2022
Trustees Report (cont.)
This objective is achieved through Help’s main operation as a training placement organisation, offering 12 month+ voluntary placements to students studying on suitably accredited counselling and psychotherapy post-graduate training courses that require them to acquire a certain number of clinical hours to qualify.
We are organisational members of the BACP, adhering to their ethical framework and good practice guidelines for training placement organisations.
Types of clients served
Help clients are over 18 years and present with a wide range of mental health related issues. They are low to medium risk but mostly complex and require longer-term therapy.
- How clients find HCC
Clients are directed towards Help mainly via word-of-mouth recommendations, internet search engine results, GPs, NHS IAPT services, or through other organisations such as universities for example. Regardless of channel, all clients must self-refer.
- Risk assessment
As clients are seen by counsellors in training, they must all be assessed to ensure they are suitable in terms of their presenting issues, history, and risk.
How HCC is funded and background to client donations
The primary funding sources during the year have comprised grants, private donations and associated gift aid, and client contributions.
The majority of the charity’s expenditure during the year was incurred in respect of salaries and supervision expenses.
Liaison with training colleges
During the pandemic we have worked hard to build new relationships with a wider group of training organisations meaning we have a more diverse set of counsellors studying at different levels and in different modalities. Students find their placements at Help mainly through being on the recommended placement lists at their training organisation and through word-of-mouth.
Role of supervisors
As our counsellors are in training, they are all fully supervised by internally provided supervisors in line with the requirements of the BACP. The role of the supervisors is to ensure that counsellors work within their competencies and to provide clinical responsibility for client work.
COVID
At the beginning of the financial year Covid restrictions were still in place and although the ‘stay at home’ instruction had just been lifted after the third national lockdown, restrictions on indoor gatherings and activities were still in place. Not only did this have a continued impact in delivering in-person therapy sessions, but it also had a major impact on student counsellors who were still no longer able to attend their trainings in person. Additional uncertainty prevailed about what the training organisations required the counsellors to do in respect of obtaining clinical hours – traditionally those hours were all obtained in a face-to-face setting which had not been possible for the last year. The training organisations also faced major challenges themselves due to loss of income from foreign students and staff following the government guidance and therefore not being on site.
The knock-on effect of this turbulent time was that we experienced high attrition rates of counsellors leaving their placements early and reduced applications as trainee counsellors were distanced from the courses, plus some training organisations were unclear on the status of placements.
Without counsellors, we were unable to uplift our client numbers and we reached our lowest volumes in August 2021 as a result.
The resulting financial pressure meant that we could not add resources in all the areas we would have liked, thus placing additional pressure on our small team. General uncertainty and lock down arrangements provided ongoing challenges for our team and trainee counsellors with all counselling activities being conducted online and caution around in person meetings with regard to the team and board trustees. Abiding by the rules was important but this did hinder the usual teamwork and collaboration which plays such a key role in the work we do. Economic uncertainty impacted the number of clients coming forward with natural concerns about affordability given the demographic we traditionally support. Training colleges and organisations were also impacted, and trainee counsellors endured months of uncertainty about how their placements would be arranged and evaluated given the impossibility of face-to-face sessions for many of our users. Ongoing restrictions also delayed our plans to return to face-to-face counselling during 2021 and required additional work to adapt our organisational structure, technology infrastructure and team skillset.

Trustees Report (cont.)
In response to these challenges, the Covid measures prompted a necessary process of review, and the subsequent rebuilding of our processes and procedures has delivered a more resilient organisation that will better support the charity’s future endeavours. The highlights are:-
-
From April through to August 2021 we transformed our IT infrastructure and systems. This included migrating to a new cloudbased Clinical Management platform from an old, unsupported Access database that was proving impossible to work with remotely when we could no longer be in the office. Our new system, Medesk has been fully configured to be bespoke to our needs, it is fully scalable, has its own secure video platform and online booking facilities.
-
As part of our restructure, we have established a pool of qualified assessors to support the review of all clients coming into our service. A qualified clinician assesses every client to ensure we evaluate their needs and their suitability to the support we can provide. Online booking has enabled us to assess significantly greater numbers with a much faster turnaround.
-
To maximise the features of Medesk we also migrated our network data onto Microsoft SharePoint and implemented OneDrive. As a result, all our systems are now entirely cloud-based meaning we have no servers or network to maintain which not only reduces our IT support costs but also the way we work is more collaborative and effective. This is particularly important with our growing network of trainee counsellors.
-
We also took the opportunity to go paperless and now every form, contract or related paperwork is electronic. No longer having to rely on posting and scanning has vastly simplified and speeded up our internal operations. Importantly it has reduced the amount of time clients have to wait before being seen.
5.Online working allowed us to expand our geographical reach, and this is a welcome development as we sought to grow our service.
All of these accomplishments have been made possible by our resolute team into which we have welcomed new members with the diverse capability and experience needed to fully embed these changes and provide us with the firm foundations we need for the future.
However, once legal restrictions were lifted on July 19th 2021, we were able to start a recruitment drive that enabled us to build up to the counsellor and client numbers experienced in March 2021 which were a record high, made possible by the other transformational changes we had made.
Our charity’s future purpose remains to sustain and build further our on-line counselling service and whilst also offering face to face counselling sessions now it is safer to do so. This is something that the training colleges are pressing for as are some of our clients.
Donors
All clients are asked to make a financial contribution towards the cost of their counselling. This is based on a sliding scale according to their annual household income. However, these donations are not sufficient to cover our costs and we also rely on the generosity of those who are prepared to make a more substantial donation.
In this regard we are extremely grateful to an anonymous donor for their donation of £17,462 in 2019 towards the cost of implementing a new client management system (of which £2,645 was utilised in 2020/2021 and the balance this year) and Sue and Laura Birkinshaw (the latter a former trustee) for their donation of £10,000. We would also like to thank Mr Robert Haas, a local resident who became interested in supporting Help Counselling as a result of the Grenfell fire. He provided an introduction to a European funder, Medicor Foundation, who made a donation of £150,000 in 2019, £60,000 of which was paid in December 2019, a further £60,000 during 2020/21 and a final £30,000 this year). In addition we would like to thank those who donated via one of the online donation websites. It is fair to say that without these contributions during 2021/2022 it would not have been possible for Help to continue operations and we are extremely grateful for this support.
As noted above, clients are asked to make a donation as a contribution towards the cast of providing our services . In some cases, even though the amount asked is considerably less than what would be asked in a professional consultation, it is more than many applicants for our services can afford. Accordingly , Help Councelling has set up a bursary scheme whereby the shortfall between the amount that Help needs in order to maintain our services and the amount that many clients can afford is met by a bursary fund. The first organisation to help establish this fund is the Worshipful Company of Chartered Secretaries who have generously donated £2,500. It is our intention to approach similar bodies who also have objectives to support organisations such as Help Counselling also to contribute to this bursary fund.

Statement of directors’ and trustees’ responsibilities
This report of the trustees is a directors’ report as required by s.417 of the Companies Act 2006. All of the trustees of the company are also directors of the company, and their responsibilities include all the responsibilities of trustees under the Charities Acts and of directors under the Companies Acts.
The Charities Acts and the Companies Acts require the board of trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements, the Board is required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
· Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business; and
· State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees’ report.
Method of preparation of accounts
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 18 October 2022

Independent examiner’s report
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under s.144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
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 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:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the Charities Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Moira Maguire Director and Chair of the Board of Trustees Approved by the trustees on 18 October 2022

Help Counselling Centre Year ending 31 March 2022
Notes to the accounts
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008, and all other applicable accounting standards, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005 (revised June 2008). The accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Companies Acts, and include the results of the charity’s operations which are described in the Trustees’ Report.
In so far as the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (revised June 2008) requires compliance with specific Financial Reporting Standards other than the FRSSE, then the specific Financial Reporting Standards have been followed where their requirements differ from those of the FRSSE.
Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of the Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity’s operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in the FRSSE from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement.
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Accounting convention
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.
Incoming resources
Incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when:
-
The charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
The trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising), the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Grants and donations
When the charity receives grants and donations which are to be used for a specific purpose, referred to as restricted funds, the costs allocated against such income relate specifically to the purpose to which the funds are to be used. To the extent that general overhead costs incurred relate to the purpose to which funds are to be used, such costs are allocated as a fair proportion of the total costs incurred based on the trustees’ estimate.
Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Donated services and facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable, and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees’ Report.
Investment income
This is included in incoming resources when receivable.
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
11
Help Counselling Centre Year ending 31 March 2022
Notes to the accounts (cont.)
Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings, and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £500. They are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the asset, less any estimated realisable value on disposal, over the useful economic life of the asset. Depreciation is applied on a straight line basis using the following rates:
Leasehold fixtures and fittings Over the life of the relevant lease. Office equipment 5 years on a straight line basis
Taxation
As a registered charity, the company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Funds structure policy
The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity.
Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, and it is the policy of the board of trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.
2. Winding up or dissolution of the charity
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

5. Detailed analysis of certain transactions required by the 2005 revision to the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2005)
Various items of support costs and charitable expenditure which are required by the 2005 revision to the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales (effective April 2005 and revised in June 2008) to be disclosed in the notes to the accounts are set out in the Detailed Schedule to the Statement of Financial Activities, which should be read together with these notes.
