WN8 6WT|| Page 1 **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Trust for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a Directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). Since the Trust qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 July 2011 and registered as a Charity on 11th October 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. ## **Recruitment and appointment of Trustees** Our trustees have a broad range of skills and experience and show a willingness to continue to develop their knowledge of the day-to-day business and practical work of the charity. All trustees are selected for their understanding of the ethos and the aims of the charity, giving their time voluntarily, without benefit. ## **Organisational structure and decision-makin** g The trustees meet several times a year to agree strategic direction and policy of the charity. The day-to-day responsibility of running the charity rests with the two directors, although Trustees are involved in the recruitment process and interviewing of directors and senior managers. The directors are responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and performance indicators are met. They are also responsible for developing skills and working practices in line with good practice. ## **Risk management** Our trustees continue to focus on the ongoing impacts from coronavirus, particularly as this year has seen much disruption to our services as clients, team members and private hirers have been forced to take time off. Adopting the risk management model based on the Charity Commission document CC26 using the scoring system for impact, likelihood and overall risk, our Trustees looked closely at the effects, planning and budgeting accordingly: ## - The major risks identified are as follows: • Dependency on income sources from room hire: One of the income streams that supports DUT is private room hire. The pandemic resulted in the loss of income from room hire as private practitioners relocated online during the first lockdown. We had anticipated a slow return to face-to-face practice from our centre as private practitioners had indicated that their current clients would remain online with new clients, that is those beginning after July 2021 as the second lockdown was phased out, being seen at our centre. This proved inaccurate as the effect on private practice from a continuing pandemic, a further lockdown in November 2021, and a surge in Covid cases through into 2022 dictated that it remained online for much longer. Furthermore, our centre’s scheduled reopening for April 2021 was delayed until September 2021 as we finally underwent significant repairs and redecoration following the water damage from a substantial ingress affecting our main entrance and Reception area. Consequently, private room rental didn’t begin again until the autumn of 2021, and was minimal. • Reserves and funding of business: Various fundraising streams and contracts will end during this fiscal year, and alongside the reduction to the usual, steady stream of income from private hire, as explained above, the Page 2 **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** Trust recognises that new funding sources is paramount to the continuation of its services. The Trust is now engaged in seeking funds from new funding sources and exploring new partnership opportunities too. We are promoting the hire of our premises at weekends for wellbeing related practises and have secured bookings for the coming year. • Government policy: A move away from Covid restrictions in February 2022 will allow us to increase the footfall throughout the centre, reopen our smaller counselling spaces and allow group practices, that is team meetings and supervision, and to plan again for group therapies. Some clients and staff are still wary about close contact and have expressed their lack of confidence in meeting now that restrictions are lifted. We have issued a notice stating that we will implement additional covid-safety measures when requested by individuals to do so. We continue to monitor the effectiveness of our practises. • Health and safety: Recognised as one of our foremost concerns we continue to prioritise Health and Safety in keeping with Government advice to remain open to deliver services for our clientele and to keep all users safe. In view of the face-to-face nature of our services, we apply strict measures to ensure counselling and therapies spaces are hygienic and adequately ventilated. At this point, in answer to client anxieties, we will continue to implement the increased frequency of cleaning to high-use areas despite the lifting of Covid restrictions. • Budgetary control and monitoring: The Trust reconciles the bank accounts monthly and produces quarterly variance reports to put together accurate budgets and to oversee the allocation and spending of funds. The Trust is pleased to welcome Samuel Ijaopo as its new finance manager, in post since autumn 2021. • Structure and succession planning: With advanced notice, Rosie Staden has reported to the Trustees that she will retire from her post as director of young people’s services in summer 2022. The Trustees have considered the Trust’s management structure and the hours allocated to providing services expertly and efficiently and will begin the recruitment process to find the next director for the service. Trustees will regularly review the staffing structure to ensure that it is adequately funded and fit for purpose. - Disaster recovery and planning: We will continue to back up data and ensure that insurance is adequate. ## **Purposes and aims** Our Charity’s purpose and objective, as set out in the company’s Memorandum of Association, is to promote the value of emotional health and wellbeing and offer therapeutic services to all irrespective of means to pay by: - - Promoting emotional wellbeing and raising awareness on emotional health - Providing a range of therapeutic services to all - Providing support and training to placement counsellors - Promoting good practice around therapeutic interventions - Offering continuing professional development to practitioners The aims of our charity are to promote emotional health by providing counselling to those who are otherwise unable to access it, within the London boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham. We also aim to provide training in counselling and access to a range of holistic therapies. ## **ACTIVITIES AND ACHEIVEMENTS** Below is the summary of the changes made as a result of Covid. The Directors passion and dedication have made it possible to continue to deliver this much needed service in the disparate and difficult period for many. ## **Adaptation due to Covid: -** - Closed centre in March 2020. - Furloughed Centre manager and Play therapists. - Operations Manager was on maternity leave. Page 3 **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** - Operations manager was made redundant in November. - Started working online with adults and young people over 14. - Trained counselling team in ‘walk and talk’ therapy. - Constant revision of budget to reflect possible dates for re-opening, differing levels of take up by private rental with the Her Centre who commission us to offer therapy to these clients. ## **Financial impact of Covid: -** - Removal our second biggest source of income which was the room rental by private therapists. - Prevented us from hosting a planned fundraiser at the Greenwich yacht Club in April 2020 - Prevented all the usual fundraising events throughout the year (marathon, big half etc) which usually generate funds. ## **Principal Funding Sources: -** - £150,000 for five years funding from The National Lottery starting October 2021. - £15,000 from Greenwich council for partnership work with Her Centre working with children affected by domestic abuse. - £19,000 for partnership work with the Early Years Alliance/Lewisham Council working with children affected by domestic abuse. - £10,000 for working with adults referred by the Her Centre. ## **Under 18s Service** ## **The Children and Young People service: -** All Children and young people referred to the Trust receive an individual assessment followed by a tailored plan of evidenced–based support which includes talking therapy, play therapy and dance and movement therapy. A purpose-built play therapy room is available where qualified counsellors use play and art materials to help young people deal with issues including abuse, anxiety, attachment issues, loss and bereavement. TDUT work closely with local schools to support vulnerable children and aims to reduce stigma and promote awareness of mental health and wellbeing through attending school assemblies and talks at external Organisations. ## **DUT Under 18s Service 2021-22: -** - We have worked with a total of 81 clients (young people offered up to 24 sessions and some for up to a year) during the year, including PPR clients, Her clients and students at partnership schools. - Continued outdoor therapy work at the Forest school until end of 2021. Potential to restart this as had very good feedback from parents but we need more funding. We will look to develop this next year. - Re-opened DUT to a small number of clients in June 2021. In September 2021 most clients moved back into this space. - Continued face to face work with Prevent Protect Repair clients at The Clyde Children’s centre. Re-opened the room at Bellingham Gateway youth centre. We no longer have the use of the Clyde (from April 2022). - Continued online work with teenagers (some did not want this or were unable to access it so still waiting to resume face to face). Has reduced to a very small number of clients – nearly all now accessing face to face service. - Started working at Parkview Academy in Welling – have a contract to supply weekly therapy for 5 children plus support for teaching staff. - Domestic abuse clients in Greenwich in partnership with Her Centre– this program is behind due to lack of referrals, but we continue to work with them. - Recruited 2 new volunteer counsellors to work with adolescents. - Took on 2 Dance and Movement therapy students from Goldsmiths. Page 4 **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **Future for Under 18 service: -** - We have nearly completed all the commissioned and partnership work with Lewisham but will be part of any new bids that they place for future domestic abuse work. - We will make up the backlog of the work funded by the Royal Borough of Greenwich in partnership with the Her Centre. - Mandy Johnston to take over the running of the service and depending on funding will continue to expand the Children and Young Peoples service. - We will be delivering a range of workshops to help young people recover from anxiety and stress. ## **Feedback from this client group:** “I have been struggling with my own life and looking after a child as well has been a lot and clearly impacted on my son. I really needed some help as I could see he was very unhappy. The Deborah Ubee Trust offered my son play therapy and he absolutely loved it. I don't know what happened in their sessions but I knew he was safe and the problems we had been having started to change. For the first time in 8 years we both slept all night in separate rooms and no wet beds! And that was just one change! Thank you all so much” “My son was offered therapy sessions at The Deborah Ubee Trust due to the effects of Domestic Violence. He was initially very quiet & shy. He bottled up his feelings, had bouts of anger and self harmed. He had no confidence and felt as if his thoughts, feelings and opinions didn't matter because he was a child. TDUT went above and beyond with their help, and addressed every problem/concern & worry he had. The weekly sessions gave him an outlet to talk privately and openly without prejudice or judgement and he quickly began to look forward to his appointment every week. The time he spent in therapy has helped him tremendously. He is now extremely confident, he is happier, more open & talkative and he can express himself without anger or frustration. I am so grateful to TDUT for their kindness, patience, help, advice and support and for helping my son through a very difficult and confusing time in his life.” “I am so very thankful for this service it helped my son incredibly to be able to open up and speak freely with no pressure from anybody, I highly recommend this service to everyone who has a child that keeps their feelings bottled up.” ## **Adult service** Covid has sharpened everyone’s awareness of their own mental health struggles: according to a report by Mind last November, over a third of Britons say they don’t have the support or tools to deal with the ups and downs of life. Ten million people will need support for their mental health as a result of the pandemic, according to the Centre for Mental Health. Demand has long outstripped supply in all sectors but especially in the charity sector. We have developed a partnership with Centre 70, where we see non clinical staff for each other. I.e. we can refer staff for counselling and they refer staff to the DUT, we offer a free confidential service and so far this is going well. We have been overwhelmed with referrals to all our services and we had to close the waiting list for the adult services during this period. During the period 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022, we worked with 89 Adults offering individual counselling for up to 24 sessions each. The adult counselling service starts with a confidential assessment so that everyone can be placed with the most appropriate therapist. Clients are provided with weekly counselling sessions with most clients receiving 24 weeks. Six-weekly reviews ensure clients continue to receive the right support for their needs. We ask our clients at the assessment stage to answer the following questions, you can see that most of our clients feel tense, anxious, or nervous most of the time. We measure this during and at the end of Counselling with us and we find a 100% improvement for clients who complete a course of counselling with us. Page 5 **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** We ask our client how they heard of us, with a majority stating from a friend or family member. We are proud of the fact that individuals have received so much benefit and improvement in their life that they want to suggest to others that they might also benefit from our service. We notice that whilst the work is for individuals the impact on family members in a positive way is noticeable, therefore improving lives to the wider community. We also note that the local NHS service Time to Talk is again this year one of our biggest referring agencies. Page 6 **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** Most of our clients are Female, with an increasing number of Males post Covid coming to us for support. The ethnicity of the clients during this period was as follows: Page 7 **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** We ask our clients if they have a disability, and we accommodate them as necessary: Most of our clients live or work within the London borough of Lewisham and the Royal borough of Greenwich, with SE10, SE18 and SE13 being the most popular postcodes: Page 8 ## **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** Most of the clients that use our service are unemployed; as we measure our work with them, improvements are made by clients gaining employment, training, or volunteering thus improving their lives and their mental health. We also measure clients at the beginning of their sessions and at the end of their sessions using CORE: Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation. The questionnaire is designed to measure four dimensions, subjective well-being, Problems / Symptoms, Life functioning and Risk / harm. Here is an example of a recently ended client. The high scores at the beginning (F) show the client was at risk of harm to self, her functioning was very high meaning her depression meant she was experiencing isolation and lack of engagement with life. She was experiencing many problems and her well-being was high, meaning she wasn’t taking care of herself. At the end of her sessions (L) there was no risk and all her other dimensions well very much improved. This is a typical outcome and demonstrates how we improve lives. This particular client marked in her feedback form: Page 9 **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD** **(A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **Testimonials** “When I started my first few sessions, it wasn't what I was expecting at all so much so I thought that maybe I would have to find a new therapist because I thought the method being used would be useless for me. But when continuing to go to the sessions and working through what I was going through, I could see and feel an immense change. I felt like I was in a safe place that I had never been able to find before and where there was pent up anger and emotions, I was able to express them in that space. It was hugely beneficial to me and my mental state and my mental growth and it also made me feel stronger within myself and my own power. I feel that if it wasn't for these sessions, I wouldn't have had the determination to approach other self help methods or organisations. I've had to come to terms with things I thought never affected me but were obviously very present and instead of being in denial, I was able to face them. So I am very grateful for these services not only because of the consistency but for its accessibility. The fact that these services are affordable tells me that mental health is a priority and should be a priority so I am very grateful for the services as they've allowed me to put my mental health first regardless of income.” “My personal experience of using The Deborah Ubee Trust to continue on a path of self learning, counselling through past harmful experiences and understanding how they affect me has been both positive and rewarding. I was lucky to be able to start a course of Person Centred Counselling relatively soon after I approached them for help. Being able to pay a low, means tested price per session meant that I could get the help I needed at the right time. The assessment process led me to get the right type of counselling with a great match of counsellor with whom I was able to form a strong bond with, so I felt safe and able to delve deep into talking and exploring my emotions. I was able to discuss and continue having sessions as I needed them, which also allowed me to feel safe within the process and work further through my problems.” “I really recommend that all in need of help seek some sort of therapy to help in time’s of need. It really does help a lot.” “My experience with my counsellor at Deborah Ubee has been exceptional. I have found strength, clarity and huge help emotionally. My initial reason for seeking help was managed with wisdom and immaculate self care for myself.” “The Trust helped me to think clearly and not blame myself for feeling so insecure and lacking confidence. I am very grateful and I now feel I can build a new life for myself.” “I felt my needs where taken into consideration and my therapist was always very enthusiastic and optimistic, and provided a wealth or resources and techniques I could use to manage my mental health condition. I am dealing with varied issues and my therapist was also very patient/attentive and I was able to express myself freely.” “When I came to Deborah Ubee I felt I was in an unmanageable situation and I felt i was on the edge of a cliff about to fall off. Attending Deborah Ubee has allowed me to talk about very difficult and private issues that I couldn't discuss with anyone else. I know can discuss those issues with other people, I feel safe and resilient and I feel I have developed ways of thinking and behaviour that now make my life easier and happier.” “I'd thought about seeking counselling for a long time, and I couldn't have chosen a better service than DUT. From the offset it was the safest space, and any fears I had about the process diminished from the first session. The growth that I've experienced from the sessions have not only significantly improved my mental wellbeing and general quality of life, but have had a really positive impact on those around me too such as loved ones and friends. If you're think you may need some help, I would definitely recommend DUT, I promise it will be the best decision you ever make.” “Highly recommend these services, I was in a bad way before I started coming here and now I’ve come along way with their help and support."

General information** The Deborah Ubee Trust Ltd is a private charitable company limited by guarantee and is registered with the Charity Commission (Charity Registered Number 1144232) and Registrar of Companies (Company Registered Number 07693256) in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the Trust information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Trust's operations and principal activities are to promote the value of emotional health and well being and offer therapeutic services to all irrespective of means to pay. In the event of the Trust being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the Trust. ## **2. Accounting policies** ## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The Deborah Ubee Trust Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Trust and are rounded to the nearest pound. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years unless otherwise stated. ## **2.2 Going concern** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the Trust to be able to continue as a going concern. ## **2.3 Income** All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. Page 15 **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD (A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.4 Expenditure** All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled, including termination benefits, are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service or as per the termination agreement. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. ## **2.5 Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. ## **2.6 Taxation** The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. ## **2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following bases: Leasehold property - 1% of cost Property improvements - 1% of cost Computer equipment - 25% of cost Page 16 **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD (A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.8 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **2.9 Cash at bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## **2.10 Liabilities and provisions** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost. ## **2.11 Financial instruments** The Charity only holds basic Financial Instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows: Debtors – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 9. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. Liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 10. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. ## **2.12 Pensions** The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. Page 17 **THE DEBORAH UBEE TRUST LTD (A company limited by guarantee and registered charity)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **2.13 Fund accounting** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. ## **3. Donations and grants** |**Unrestricted**

Statement of funds** ## **Statement of funds - current year** ## Designated Funds - Fixed Asset Fund The investment in the building and equipment is considered to be not easily realisable and therefore should not be included within the General reserve. A Fixed Assets reserve has been established that matches the net book value of assets. ## Restricted Funds - Big Lottery This fund has been established to recognise the funding received from the Big Lottery Fund. This award has helped the Trust to expand our services and to help reach those in the community who need support around emotional help, through a combination of one-to-one therapy and group work. ## Restricted Funds - Her Centre We receive 2 types of funding from the Her Centre:- • work commissioned by Greenwich Council to ourselves and the Her Centre in partnership. This is for individual therapy for clients under the age of 18 who have been affected by domestic abuse. • individual therapy sessions commissioned by the Her Centre with adult women who have been affected by domestic abuse. ## Restricted Funds - Prevent, Protect, Repair The PPR funding is for work commissioned by the Home Office in partnership with Lewisham Council, The Early Years Alliance and Athena. This project focuses on the effect of Domestic Abuse on Children in Lewisham, and the first year was a pilot project based in two specific areas of the borough; Evelyn and Bellingham. The aim is to offer education and support to professionals working with children and group work with families. The DUT’s role is to offer 20 sessions of individual therapy to 12 under 18s a year. ## Restricted Funds - Walk and Talk This fund was granted by CCSF to pioneer Walk and Talk therapy for the Charity's beneficiaries. ## Restricted Funds - Signal This fund represents amounts received from Signal, a Charity based in Lewisham, London, for work with parents of children on the autism spectrum. ## National Lottery This fund has been granted by the National Lottery and is to be used for the Preventing Crisis, Promoting Wellbeing project.
