## _**Trustees Introduction**_ 

_The past year has seen acceptance nationally of an economic crisis for many. This has impacted charities, some sadly disappearing. For us it has seen our income from fees fall as those who come to us have been struggling more financially as well as emotionally. This has also been reflected in a slight reduction in the number of sessions we have provided and given us an additional reason for increasing our efforts to reach out further in to the community and raise additional funds to support the work we do._ 

_It has been a year of many challenges. Although we were successful in raising initial funds to support the role of a Development Officer to facilitate our work going forward, unexpected family circumstances resulted in the post-holder’s resignation. Finding further funding and the right person to replace them is now a priority for us. However, our new administrative assistant has stayed with us, becoming an integral part of the administrative team and contributing invaluably to the task of the installation of an online client management system which will, in the long-term, provide the means for more effective monitoring of our work. The networking needed to establish the group work for long-term health conditions to which we are committed is on-going. We have also been looking into the possibilities for art therapy group work with the asylum seekers now resident in Herefordshire hotels._ 

_Despite the challenges there are also opportunities as concerns for mental health within our largely rural and often isolated community grow. Feedback from clients continues to give us confidence that we are meeting the needs of many who have been struggling with the increased pressures which this moment in time contains._ 

_“I started counselling maybe feeling like a bit of a fraud - do I really need this?  Am I ready for it?  I finished having spent 6 weeks working through feelings and thought processes and feeling on much more of an even keel.  Thank you!”_ 

_“Comfortable, safe environment. Left feeling like a weight had been lifted.”_ 

_“The counsellor really helped me through the hardest time of my life. I really can't thank her enough”_

## **OUR SERVICE** 

## **Client Management System** 

This report is shorter than usual. The reason for this is the transitional state of our data bases as the administrative data sets, which had evolved over our 12 years of working as an independent charity, are being transferred to the new client management system (CMS). The system is active for all current clients, but the transfer of data to give us the historical perspective and understanding of trends we require is still in process. We have to thank both Di and Carys for the time needed to turn the standard Charitylog system into the bespoke vehicle which it is fast becoming; and for their dedication to accuracy, so important, but difficult to achieve when one is dealing with the volume of data present. We also have to thank Herefordshire Council for some of the funding to allow this to take place. 

## **Client profiles and fees** 

Over the year we saw 108 clients and offered 1377 sessions of therapy. 90% of those seen were subsidised in order to attend the sessions, on average by £34 per client, over 50% of the basic fee to cover core costs, and this has increased the importance of grant funding – at a time when there is increased competition for reduced assets. It has also reinforced our strategic plan to broaden our funding streams.

## **Client outcomes** 

Because our work is tailored to individual need the outcomes are many and varied. However, as can be seen below, an overview of feedback shows us that the majority of clients go away with an improved understanding of their personal situation and a sense of improved skills and relationships.

Whether we are providing therapy for an individual or working with a couple or family, our task is nearly always concerned with interpersonal dynamics and our approach relational. This can be seen in the chart below where some different aspects are surveyed. 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>

As well as those who struggle with relationships per se, we are pleased that people are able to come to us at various stages in the experience of uncertainty and breakdown. We have people approach us prior to making a final commitment to beginning a shared life and starting a family; some who come when they feel the foundations of their relationship are beginning to shake; and others needing help to negotiate a parting which they have come to realise will be the only way forward for them. In each instance it is the acceptance and non-judgemental stance of our counsellors which creates a space for more mature reflection and decision making. 

**Staff payment review** Our service has always relied upon the contribution of volunteers, both in the management of the workload through our working groups, and the clinical staff who come to us on placement. This year, recognizing that our staff as well as our clients are impacted by the rise in the cost of living, we have sought funding to support the volunteers working with us. One aspect of this has been to facilitate our ability to continue to offer travel expenses to those who live some distance from Hereford city. In a large geographical area such as ours, without so doing, some would be unable to travel the distances involved to see our clients. Although obliged to put up supervision fees for the coming year, our funding application will also help to reduce them back down. 

4 



Perhaps more importantly, in carrying out a payment review for all staff, the trustees decided that those who stay with us for a time after qualification should receive some remuneration for their client work, and this has been set at the level of the living wage. This will shift the balance from what is seen below for this coming financial year. 

||Clinical|Qualified|Paid|Supervisor|
|---|---|---|---|---|
||Placement|volunteer|experienced|Assessor|
|number|13|3|6|3|
|clients|50|26|39|8|
|sessions|508|293|660|55|
|expenditure|2,404|1,968|13,040|1,490|
|income|16,972|10,858|20,505|2,565|



## **Going forward: financial overview** 

As can be seen below the cost of living rise has impacted our service with expenditure increasing well over and above the monies spent on new staff. This latter expenditure will in effect cover itself once the expected increase in funding applications can be realised. We have calculated that for the coming year, in order to provide up to 2,000 client sessions, we would need to raise something in the region of £64,000 to sustain the service. Our strategic plan to broaden our funding streams and create the human resources to facilitate this, will thus be central to our development over the next year.

The cost to the service per counselling hour has increased over the past year and we are looking to increase the basic rate for our service to £65 per session. This will be piloted to see the impact upon the service. At the same time we are seeking additional funding to avoid the increase for most of our clients. 

As was seen above, only 10% of sessions were unsubsidised, The constant search for external funding is on-going. However, we have been able to sustain the income from gift aid despite a decrease in the percentage of people in employment. 

## **HOW TO CONTACT US** 

At MCS we welcome input from any interested people.  This can be achieved formally by becoming a member of the organisation or a volunteer, or informally through contacting us via email at marches.counselling@gmail.com, and/or through a phone call: 01432 279906.
