## _**Trustees Introduction**_ 

_This will be the last year we set out our annual report in this format. 24-25 will see the results of our lottery funding and the development work planned this year, which includes updating our branding, publicity materials and website._ 

_Recognising the challenges of the economic climate, particularly for small charities such as our own, we have put a lot of time and energy into the work of becoming more sustainable. Successful in the first round of Reaching Communities Lottery Fund, we have worked hard this year towards the promise of three year’s funding which could provide a secure period when we might make changes to the organization; to both reach out to the more disadvantaged and build a structure to support working with them at this time._ 

_We are pleased that the energy put into this has not been detrimental to our overall performance. Indeed, this past year has seen an increase in referrals and client sessions which outstripped our expectations. This is both positive in the context of achieving our charitable objectives, but also negative in increasing the pressure for core funding to support the work. However, we now have a new Development Officer in place who has been working hard to help us achieve success in both broadening and strengthening our income streams._ 

_This year we have continued with the implementation of our new client management system (CMS). It has yet to bed in and has involved far more work than anticipated for the admin staff. Although the best system we could find in providing the flexibility for the data we have and require, there is still a lot of work involved in making it fit for purpose. The ideal of automatic reporting of statistics is still some way off I am afraid, but those involved are hard at work to achieve this. Thanks in particular to Graham our Treasurer who is our main IT advisor in this field at present, and Carys, for all her hard work getting accurate statistics on the system back to 2018.   No mean feat!_ 

_We are still involved with project work, piloting a telephone service for people over 50 who may be unable to access face to face counselling and looking into the possibility of providing art workshops for our refugee community in Herefordshire as part of the support being offered to them through the City of Sanctuary initiatives. The proposed work with asylum seekers became irrelevant with their removal from the centers in Hereford._ 

_Despite the challenges there are also opportunities as concerns for mental health within our largely rural and often isolated community continue to grow._

## **OUR SERVICE** 

_“I found the counselling really beneficial. I was respected for who I am, with no judgement. We had mutual respect for each other, which built a therapeutic and professional relationship.  Thank you to the admin support for the non-judgmental and accommodating approach. It’s hard to make that first phone call to ask for support and admin instantly made me feel at ease.”_ 

_“Having reached a point where my understanding of the issues affecting me, the road ahead looks clearer. So I now feel positive about reaching a positive conclusion. But it does provide a degree of reassurance knowing that a return is possible.”_ 

_“I want to thank you for helping me climb out of a very deep hole that has lasted many years. I now feel more able to deal with the remaining problem I have.”_ 

_“I loved speaking with my counsellor every week. She made opening up easy and no issue felt too small. Personally I've noticed my life completely change and I believe in myself, that I am a good person. I also have so much more empathy for others which is life changing. My relationships are healed, especially with my Mum which I had given up on before. I recommend MCS to anyone struggling if they are open to changing their life. Thank you so much.”_ 

_“I have really valued my time at MCS and would highly recommend this service to those who are also struggling mentally and financially.”_ 

_“My counsellor has significantly helped me over the last few years to overcome some very traumatic experiences and has also more recently been leading me onto a journey of self-reflection towards my true authenticity and a higher awareness of my subconscious triggers. I highly recommend her as a counsellor to anyone, she really listens and cares, she is empathetic to the core but also is so skilled to know when to bring challenge. She has restored peace back into my world and has been my consistent safe place each week. Counselling has changed my life in such a positive way and I also thank Marches for that being compassionate to each person’s financial position. My counsellor has driven me to work hard on myself and look at things differently and I want to highly recommend her and thank her for walking my journey with me.”_ 

_“I have suggested your services to colleagues and patients. I am very grateful for not being pressured on time frames as I have experienced with other counselling services.”_ 

_“My time in counselling has been completely rewarding for me. I feel lighter, empowered and confident in my abilities moving forward to engage in life fully. I have learned to look at myself more kindly and feel many of the internalised traumas that were weighing me down have been talked through, seen, heard and lifted. Counselling has been life changing for me and I am very, very grateful to have been given the space to be so honest and open about my life without judgement, but listened to and asked the questions I needed to be asked. Thank you!”_

## **Client Management System** 

This year has seen the transfer of data to the new CMS back to 2018, however it has yet to provide us with the historical perspective and understanding of trends we require, as generating reports other than those provided by the system itself has proved quite challenging. Despite assurances that the system would be flexible, the way in which it is set up was not conducive to the amount of data and level of information we are dealing with. 

## **Client profiles and fees** 

Over the year we engaged with 83 clients and provided 1839 sessions of therapy.

The number of client contacts has risen again from previous years, but over 90% of those seen were subsidised in order to attend the sessions, which, if we include development initiatives over the past year, cost us £67 a session to provide. The piloting of an increased full fee for counselling to £65 this year does not appear to have deterred many as we are clear that this is negotiable. For the time being we will retain this, although with increasing workload it has underlined the importance of grant funding. We have to acknowledge that this is a time when there is increased competition for reduced assets, so it has also reinforced our strategic plan to broaden our funding streams. On a positive note, we have been able to sustain the income from gift aid despite a decrease in the percentage of people in employment. 

During the year we completed a piece of work to develop our service for people with long term physical health conditions. Initially aimed at establishing a psychotherapeutic group for people experiencing Long Covid, we subsequently broadened it out to enable us to offer counselling and psychotherapy to a much wider group of people whose physical health conditions were affecting their mental health, or who were coping with a change in their life arising from a diagnosis. This work was funded by the EF Bulmer Trust and the Eveson Trust. It has enabled us to promote our services to the many organisations in Herefordshire which support people living with health conditions. Some of the findings from this piece of work are below. 

4 



## **The impact of Long Covid** 

Early in the Covid19 pandemic official guidance made a distinction between those with mild illness and those where it was severe enough to require hospitalisation. The typical recovery time for those with mild illness was said to be around two weeks, but media attention was focused on the large number of deaths in those with a severe infection. Being a previously unknown illness it was a while before patients worldwide started to report long-lasting symptoms, even after a mild infection. The term long-covid was reportedly first used in May 2020, and experiences shared online filled a gap in knowledge in how the media talked about the pandemic. 

Many people with long COVID reported experiencing difficulty accessing appropriate healthcare, particularly while face-to-face services were restricted by lockdown and subsequent health and safety precautions. In addition, people reported being misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression. 

It is now recognised that long-covid can cause many additional issues as well as anxiety, and can severely impact people's ability to work. The Institute for Fiscal Studies studied labour impacts of long-covid in the UK in 2021. They concluded that of people who worked before contracting longcovid, one in ten had stopped working. Most of them were on sick leave rather than unemployed. 

As well as exploring the possibility of groupwork for people experiencing long-covid, the pandemic prompted us to examine the overall relationship between mental health and physical health in our clients. 

## **Relationship between physical and mental health** 

Below is some initial analysis of data from clients with long term health conditions who have attended our service. By looking at the accompanying mental health concerns at assessment, we can understand more about the profile of these clients. This has underlined our awareness that many of those coming to us from our publicity and receiving assessment, present in quite complex situations. 


We have data on outcome from those who have been discharged, but by the nature of these conditions, many (over 50%) are still working with us. 

5 



The chart below shows the range of concerns involved in clients whose therapy is still on-going. Some of the concerns, such as bereavement, were recent, but many were of long-standing. The complexity of the presentations indicated the need for individual work before someone would be able to utilise either short term group work for the management of their physical health, or longer term group psychotherapy.

Concerns accompanying health conditions at assessment,<br>whether from past or recent (ongoing)<br>100<br>80<br>60<br>40<br>20<br>0<br>concern present reoccuring recent<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Physical health concerns appear more prominent in women than in men. There may be many reasons for this. To some extent it could reflect more reluctance on the part of men to acknowledge concerns; we might also hypothesise that once identified, men are more likely to seek medical attention; or perhaps that, with the stress of childbirth and menopause, women have more pressures which lead to a conflation of physical and mental health issues. 


It is interesting that where there are concerns, over 75% are reoccurring. This supports the wellestablished research evidence for links between mental and physical health. 

6 




In particular, we see that the most common mental health issues dealt with in primary care, those of anxiety and depression, are prominent here. 



7 



## **Looking forward** 

One thing remains clear since covid, that there are still difficult times ahead. We have been fortunate in securing a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund for the next three years. This gives us a secure base upon which to build. We have a programme to reach out more into the rural areas through community hubs and are looking at how we can improve working conditions for those staff who give generously of their time. 

Although we recognized that the support will not go on indefinitely, three years will hopefully see us able to strengthen our funding position, at the same time as being able to reach out to the more disadvantaged with an adequately resourced professional service. There will always be challenges, that is the nature of life and what we do, but extending our reach will enable us to help people become more resilient as they meet the challenges that the future will bring. 

## **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 admin@marchescounselling.org and/or through a phone call: 01432 279906.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Th1$ y$ar ha$ continued lo bg one of 8conornic 8lr8ss for many within th& local ¢ommunity as well as nÈiionally. CtrncÈms
around health have iti¢rease¢J for tnany. as servitss Struggle to rnanage increased pre55ure5 and the irnpact of long<ovid
continu88 to b8 f81t.
The appointment ol a Development Offieer. initially from r8serv85, has given us the resources nèc&ss8ry to look 21 the
suslainabilily ol the service over the next lew years. We recognised that the need for a 5ubsidised service was likely lo Nse
rather than fall. and that we would have lo address Issues ol Slrenglhening and widening our funding streams.
Of the 1,839 session$ of therapy we provided thls year for 156 dienls, only 17Qfi were un5ubsidised leaving us wlh a short1211
of £48,802, an averaga of £32 per session. This is a larger amount than anticipated, bul our WQTk thi8 year has resulted in
obtaining funding lo support on-going costs from The Reaching Communities Fund for the next three year5. This will provide
us wlth a more secure base from which lo build.
Most Important in attracting dients has been our continued ability lo see people promptly once they have contacted us. i
conlrasl to the 8181utory Se￿iCe$ locally. As demand in¢re35es we will continue lo appoint new staff lo allow us lo offer most
¢lients a start dale within days rather than months and lo match their thÈr2py lo thèir needs. It is viial thai people are able lo
a¢¢e$s support al the right time lor them. The average number of Sessions was 12, the range was from 110 35 over the year.

Alongside directly benefitling th8 client, our work ha$ many indirect consequences d8pendent upon IhÈir situation. Thi5 15 of

With the stigma of mental health issues lessening, w8 are seeing a shift In IhÈ location of disturbance from the individual lo

Re-estsblishing some 5en5e of eonlrol can be empowering, bul this often needs to be balanced by the reality of what we can
