The governing document is the Memorandum & Articles dated 14 March 2011. Management is through an executive committee up to a maximum of 12, nominated from members and elected at the AGM. Trustee meetings are held on a bi-monthly basis. 

## **Objects of the charity** 

Our charitable objectives are to promote the relief of poverty, sickness and distress amongst young persons between the ages of 5- to 25-year-olds. The charity meets its objects through the provision of one-to-one counselling, group work, workshops and school drop-ins. 

To carry out these activities in the year to 31 March 2025 the organisation employed those persons listed above. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees consider the charities activities, as set out in this report, are in compliance with their duty to ensure the public benefit. The positive impact of the Charity's activities on the lives of young people by improving their mental health enables young people to make informed decisions, and through developing life skills, not only benefits them but also benefits the wider community.

## **SORTED COUNSELLING SERVICES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025** 

For my Chair’s report for this financial year, I firstly must thank the councillors who provide the face-toface counselling for those who are need of our services. 

Without you there would be no Sorted. 

Behind the team of councillors, we have a small but dedicated team, who, along with our Director, ensure that all the necessary systems and processes are in place that enable Sorted to function. 

This is a true team effort, and on behalf of the Trustee’s we thank you all for your time and dedication. 

In the past year Sorted have delivered training to both our councillors and have made this available to the wider counselling community. 

We have been able to recruit and retain our councillors over the past year; this stability has enabled Sorted to focus on service provision and funding applications. 

The greatest challenge, and threat to Sorted, remains funding. 

We are making high quality applications, and this is fed back to us, however many other Charities are also applying for funding from the same “pots” of money for services that are assessed as being in greater financial need than Sorted. 

Sorted need to maximise our income and we will be offering, in the last quarter of 2025 / 26 an option for those who are able to pay for our services with a reduced waiting time for access to services. 

This decision was made following a review of other counselling providers and with the agreement of the Trustee’s. 

The demand for counselling for children and young people is increasing and Sorted will explore all avenues for funding so we can continue to make a difference. 

Finally, thank you again the whole team at Sorted and the unheralded differences you make to those who use our services. 

Will Randell

## **Financial Review and Reserves Policy** 

The charity ended the year with a surplus of £140,360 (2024: £178,858). At 31 March 2025 we held cash at bank of £140,833 (2024: £179,658).  The charity had £57,368 of restricted funds (2024: £67,471) and unrestricted funds of £83,465 (2024: £112,187) of which £40,000 are designated. The financial position continues to be carefully monitored and the cash position considered. 

The level of reserves relates to the organisation’s level of both current and projected activity. 

Accordingly, the charity’s Trustees are seeking to maintain sufficient reserves to continue operations in spite of challenges that may occur from any change in circumstances and to allow for an orderly reduction in activities or cessation of operations should this prove necessary. 

The Trustees have determined a minimum of reserves as three months operating costs plus any longterm contractual liabilities that may be outstanding. The Trustees review this policy regularly and the policy itself annually. This year’s unrestricted funds at 31 March 2025 total £83,465 and amounts to approximately 10 months budgeted expenditure. 

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis which the Trustees believe is appropriate. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees keep the charity’s activities under review, particularly with regard to any major risks that may arise from time to time.   The major risks that are identified by this process have been mitigated to an acceptable level by internal control systems and other factors as appropriate.

## **Director’s report on the Annual Accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2025** 

As the Director of Sorted Counselling Services I am pleased to present my combined director/clinical report together with the financial statements for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. 

The charity remains committed to providing free, confidential, one-to-one therapeutic counselling to Children and Young People (CYP) across South-Central Bedfordshire. This year has seen significant growth in demand, the development of key partnerships, and the continued strengthening of our internal systems and clinical practice. 

## Schools and Local Presence 

We maintained strong relationships with schools in Dunstable and Houghton Regis, continuing to provide counsellors to four schools. Staff at these schools regularly report how valued and wellintegrated the counselling has become. 

Data, Collaboration and Partnerships 

Our data management system, introduced in 2024, has continued to strengthen collaboration with external partners, improving our workflow and communication. Our data management system continues to evolve, offering more sophisticated capabilities and ensuring the organisation operates in a modern, efficient, and secure way. 

We remain in close dialogue with organisations including: 

- East London NHS Foundation Trust 

- CAMHS 

- Bedfordshire & Milton Keynes ICB 

- Central Bedfordshire Council 

- Houghton Regis and Dunstable Town Councils 

## Training Providers and Trainees 

We continue to welcome trainee counsellors from local training centres, and our decision last year to accept Year 1 Diploma students is already showing benefits. Longer placements have improved continuity, strengthened relationships, and enhanced the quality of experience for both trainees and clients. 

## Managing Demand and Project Delivery 

Across our core projects — Fortis, VEPP, Fortis Align, and Community Counselling — we have continued to manage a consistent and steady flow of referrals. The demand for support remains high, particularly for children and young people, but through careful coordination and efficient use of our expanded counselling space, we have been able to reduce waiting times across all programmes. The team’s flexibility and collaborative approach have ensured that referrals are processed promptly, assessments are completed in a timely manner, and young people are able to access support sooner. This reflects both the strong reputation of our services and the effectiveness of our internal systems in meeting the needs of the community. 

## Adapting for Younger Children 

We refined our approach to children aged 5–8, recognising that some were not developmentally ready for counselling. We now conduct three 30-minute assessment sessions to explore emotional readiness. This ensures counselling hours are used effectively, while still leaving the door open for younger children to return when ready. 

Session Structure 

7 



We continued with the revised model of 8 initial sessions, with scope to extend to 12 where needed. This structure has proven suitable for most young people and allows us to support more clients without compromising quality. 

## Director and Clinical Manager Role 

The amalgamation of the Director and Clinical Manager roles has been effective, providing streamlined decision-making and consistent clinical oversight. However, due to continued growth in projects and demand, we anticipate the need to recruit additional staff or increase current hours in the coming year. 

## Referral Pressures 

We remain in close dialogue with organisations including: 

- East London NHS Foundation Trust 

- CAMHS 

- Bedfordshire & Milton Keynes ICB 

- Central Bedfordshire Council 

- Houghton Regis and Dunstable Town Councils 

Referrals continue to arrive from CAMHS, Talking Therapies, schools, Children’s Services, and IDVAs. We are finding an increase of referrals that are not suitable for Sorted and that the same challenges are being experienced in supporting CYP across the board and the most suitable service. 

## Team Cohesion and Shared Workspace 

Since moving to a shared office in January 2025, the positive impact on our team has been clear. Working together in the same space has strengthened communication, improved day-to-day collaboration, and created a more supportive working environment. Being able to share ideas in real time, check in with one another, and respond quickly to emerging needs has enhanced both the quality and consistency of our service. The shared workspace has also contributed to a stronger team culture, improving morale and helping staff feel more connected, valued, and aligned in our purpose. 

## Expansion of Counselling Space 

This year we also created a new counselling room within our office, designed specifically with our younger clients in mind. The space includes additional play resources, creative materials, and a more child-friendly layout, helping younger children feel safe, comfortable, and engaged in their sessions. Having this dedicated room has allowed us to increase the number of young people we can see each week, reducing waiting times and improving access to early support. It has also opened up further opportunities for private hire, and we anticipate this will contribute to increased revenue as awareness of the space and its specialist resources grows.
