Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10[th] December 2012 and registered as a charity on 28[th] February 2013. 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 £1.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustee Body

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Trustee Body. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Board of Trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

New Trustees are recruited by direct invitation from the existing Board of Trustees and are identified either by the Board of Trustees or by referral to the Trustees. In extending invitations, account is taken of the skills present and needed around the Board table. Potential Trustees are invited to attend Trustee meetings as observers and enabled to familiarise themselves with the organisation. Once mutual agreement as to the suitability of the appointment has been established new Trustees may be appointed to serve in association with the Board of Trustees until the next round of Board elections.

Risk Management

The trustees carried out a risk assessment exercise in March 2020 and considered that the chief area of concern going forwards was with regards to managing ongoing clinical work during the pandemic. We made the following changes:

  1. All clinical work with clients would be conducted on-line via Zoom until restrictions have lifted and it is considered safe to return to working face to face in the building, according to government guidelines.

  2. All meetings of any sort would be held over Zoom.

  3. All supervision would be held over Zoom.

  4. All training, conferences, and CPD would be carried out via Zoom.

All clinical work continued throughout the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, and in fact clinical work increased with referrals being received nationally and internationally. We were also able to offer our courses to a far wider number of clients and therapists over Zoom.

Organisational Structure

Day to day operational leadership is delegated by the Board of Trustees to a Project Director (PD) who is supported by a Steering Group. The Board of Trustees is a policy making Board, having adopted the Carver principles of governance. It sets policies that limit the freedom of the Project Director where that is needed and sets policies for the strategic ends of the charity for a rolling 3-5 year plan that are reviewed each year. For governance, the Board of Trustees liaises only with the Project Director, who is free to make decisions within the bounds of the strategic plan and governance parameters. The PD reports back to the Board of Trustees and to the Steering Group about ongoing process and developments, that records progress against objectives and the strategic plan, and any exceptions to governance parameters.

Objectives and Activities

Charitable Objects

  1. To provide a Recovery Programme for people with mental health needs.

  2. To provide a supportive environment within which individuals can work together to overcome dysfunctional life patterns and negative cycles of behaviour and thinking.

  3. For the public benefit, in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs, to assist in the treatment and care of persons suffering from mental illness of any description, or in need of rehabilitation, as a result of such illness, by the provision of facilities for emotional support and recreation

Primary Objective

Still the Hunger aims to help bridge the gap that exists between church and the NHS, and to bring a more holistic approach to the treatment and support of those suffering with enduring emotional difficulties. We aim to:

  1. Respond to need at the point of referral and integrate individuals into an individually tailored programme, where appropriate, and as soon as possible to alleviate suffering and deterioration.

  2. Enable individuals to reach their full potential, take an active role within society, including stable relationships, and engage in work or education.

  3. Build self-esteem, and reduce the stigma and isolation associated with mental illness.

  4. Enable individuals to explore their spirituality in a safe environment and, if desired, help them to develop their faith and understanding of the nature of their difficulties from a Christian perspective.

Our Approach

We provide a service where individuals can receive individual psychotherapy, EMDR, and/or weekly group therapy. Once a month we offer a free support group for anyone

Page 5 of 13

affected by Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which is also open to carers, partners, and family members. This is offered in partnership with the BDD Foundation. We hold a free monthly Encounter Room, (an evening for worship, discipleship and prayer ministry), which is open to anyone and intended not only for outreach but also to give some insight into what we offer for new potential clients.

Following referral, we meet with potential clients as soon as possible to discuss an individually tailored care package and aim to integrate them into a suitable care plan within 1-4 weeks from first point of contact. Our service is therefore extremely valuable and unique as it can be accessed immediately, either directly by the individual or through a referring clinician or community organisation. Anyone over the age of 18 with longstanding emotional difficulties is eligible to access our evening therapy group, and we accept clients of all faiths and none. We also provide individual therapy for adolescents, and the BDD group attracts some that are younger who may come accompanied by a parent.

Members of either the weekly therapy group or the BDD support group are able to support one another outside of hours through closed confidential on-line forums. This enables the therapeutic community feel of Still the Hunger to continue. These forums are facilitated by our therapists, who are able to intervene or provide additional advice or support as necessary.

We continued to develop the MORE Course material into an additional teaching resource for therapists working with faith and complex mental health conditions. We hope to be able to launch this on-line in 2021.

Financial Review

Presentation of the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with The Charities Act (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and The Charity Commission 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) effective 1 January 2015.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have set a policy on reserves that there should be sufficient for normal expenditure of a minimum of 2 months, and a maximum of 12 months. During the financial year the reserves were not met and fell below the minimum 2 months. The Trustees continue to work towards rectifying this and, having considered various options, hope that the changes made will enable us to move into a more sustainable financial model which is less dependent on grant giving for the next financial year.

Principle funding resources

The total income from all sources for the year ended 31 December 2020 was £53,083 and total expenditure was £47,980.

Income generated by client fees now exceeds that received from grant giving Trusts.

The Charity is no longer dependent on fundraising and has managed to cover its costs through an increasing number of referrals for EMDR therapy specifically. Referrals are coming in from a variety of sources, but we have seen an increase in applications from higher earning clients. This has enabled us to continue offering low cost therapy to those on lower incomes/benefits according to our sliding scale of fees, and depending on each therapist’s workload and ability to accommodate to low cost work on a discretionary basis.

Statement of Directors Responsibilities

The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Directors (who are also the trustees for Charity Law) to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial period. In preparing those financial statements, the directors should follow best practice and:

The Directors are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are also responsible for the contents of the Directors’ Report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the Directors’ Report is limited to examining the report and that ensuring on the face of the report there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102) and in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
