Our vision for The Moving on Project is to improve the emotional health and wellbeing of young people aged between 11 and 25 in South-East Hampshire, Fareham and Gosport in order that they can achieve their full potential.

Safety
We prioritise the safety of our clients, our counsellors and our volunteers always.
Community
We want to have a positive impact on our community. For years our community has protected and looked out for one another. At a time when we are becoming less connected, the power of the community has never been more important.
We have created a simple message that potential Trustees can get behind to give the strategic desired outcome.
T - Target more funding
-
H - Help more clients
-
R - Reach out to our community
-
I - Inspire young people

The charity achieves its objectives by:
-
Offering one-to-one counselling and group work for young people aged from 11 to 25

Working with children and young people within GP's surgeries, secondary schools and colleges
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
In the period between 31/03/ 2024 and 31/03 /2025, we provided 1576 sessions of counselling for young people. Counselling offered to 317 young people.
Helped 2,222 young people in our designated area through contacts with parents and young people. Provided help for 537 young people by signposting and speaking to parents.
Material Strategic Changes
The board of trustees made a number of strategic decisions in the previous financial year to ensure the long-term wellbeing of the charity; these are as follows:
-
The Charity will not look to take on any high-risk cases unless a specific exception is granted.
-
The Charity will promote and extend its private counselling practice to improve cashflow.
-
The Charity will seek to modernise both its service offering and its digital presence ensuring it remains accessible and relevant to young people.
These decisions have not changed and we have seen each of these decision result in the desired outcome. The key outcomes we have measured;

The Moving On Project Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025
Material Strategic Changes - continued
• Revenue from private counselling has increased and strengthens the charity fiscal position, this growth in private counselling remains essential to the longevity of the charity and ensuring it remains a viable institution. Between 2024 and 2025 we have seen a 66% increase in private counselling revenue.
• The charity has reduced its exposure to high-risk cases that it is not equipped to deal with and we have seen a reduction is escalations and risk to staff.
• The charities website has now been delivered, traffic to our site has increased significantly, with work is still needed to improve engagement and improve self-service resources for young people and parents 1490 unique visitors and 22.2k impressions in 2025 the majority of users are already familiar with the charity rather than finding the charity organically.
The focus for 2026 will be to increase organic discovery and improve penetration.
New strategic decision:
• The charity will move to a new office at the start of 2026 and terminate its current lease agreement with Hampshire County Council. This decision has been made due to the charity’s growth and increased demand for our services requiring a larger office, and to improve the quality of the facilities our clients exposed to.
Financial Review
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied those systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, Governance and Management
Material Strategic Changes
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association.
The Moving on Project is committed to having a diverse and active Trustee board. The Trustee recruitment, selection and induction process that The Moving on Project uses seeks to follow the Charity Commission document.
There is currently a vacancy in the Trustee board as we are looking for a Treasurer. This remains the caase as with previous years; however 3 new trustees joined us in this period.
This was in line with the charity strategy and the charity has rotated its Borad of Trustees in 2025 to ensure new perspectives and experience are brought into the board more introduce a more mature governance framework as the charity grows.
The board of Trustees also review its articles of association and ensured alignment into how it conducts its general meetings and annual meeting.
The Moving on Project's Board of Trustees ultimately make all decisions on behalf of the charity. They meet regularly to discuss aspects of the charity's work, make decisions and monitor the delivery of outsourcing agreements.
