OFF THE RECORD ITWI¢KENHAM) LTD (A company limited by guarantee) CHAIR'S REPORT Lord Darzi prOdUd a report last year into the state of the NHS and in an interview with him at the time of publication of the report, he said that the thing which had surprised him most was the state of mental health services and particularly young people's mental health seriCeS. We, at Off The Record, are not at all surprised by this, as being at the sharp end, we see this every day. The nurnber of young people who seek our services continues to be very high and also the issues that they bring to us are more complex. Off The Record Provides counselling services for young people aged 11 to 24 across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and you might be surprised to know that this borough has the second highest level in London of hospitalisations for self-harm, and the highest level of hospitalisations for risky behaviour associated with poor mental health. Many of the young people who come to us are desperately seeking help for these issues. as well as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, difficulties at school, loneliness and low self-esteem. Many do not feel able to talk to their parents or GP, and they have not been supported at school or by other statutory services. The Trustees, Report on the following pages 8ets out the details of what we did to respond to these needs over the year to 31. March 2025 and also what we are intending to do this year. l am pleased to report that Off The Record has had a good year, particularly in relation to its finances and the recruitment of new Gounsellors. After making a significant deficit in 2024, we basically broke even in 2025 and our reserves have rernained stable atjust under six months of annual expendrtura. This was despite the fact that we only received £29,520 of statutory funding (from NHS SW London ICS) in the year. They decided, at the end of the first quarter, that they would no longer fund our fvrfo satellites which served Kingston clients and therefore, sadly, we had to close those two operations. I would like to thank all of thos8 who funded us last year. In particular, we received grant funding from Richmond Foundation, Hampton Fund, The Barnes Fund, The Sisters of The Holy Cross Church, BBC Children in Need and Heathrow Community Fund. We also, once again, received free office accommodation from St Mary's Church, Twickenham. The recruitment of high-quality counsellors to meet the demand which we have for our seDiices has been a challenge for us for some time, but l am pleased to say that for the first time since Covid lockdown, we became fully staffed across all locations during the year. I would like to thank our Manager, Deborah Kerpner, and her dedicated team of counsellors and office staff. Their enthusiasm and hard work ensured that we continued to deliver an excellent serrfice to our clients. I would like to thank all members of the Trustee Board for their efforts. Very sadty, our Treasurer, Chris Whistler, passed away on 16th May 2025. We were extremely fortunate to have had his considerable involvement for the last hvo and a half years and he will be much missed. Our clients continue to really value the seniices that we provide and we get excellent feedback from them. Our airn is to continue to provide the best possible Servi to as many young people who need us in the coming year and b8yond. Peter Jenkins Chair of the Board of Trustees

OFF THE RECORD {TWICKENHAM) LTD (A company limlted by guarantee) Objectives and activities 1) Policies and objectives As set out in our Articles of Association, the objects of the Charity are: 1. The advancernent of education, the protection and preseniation of good health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness of young persons {being persons under the age of 25) in the United Kingdom, particularly the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. 2. The relief and prevention of suffering caused by mental or physical ill health or by social or economic circumstances among young people by establishing. maintaining and developing a counselling service for the giving of individual or group counselling, and practical advice. 2) Public benafit The work of the Charity is to support young people's emotional and mental well-being when they are in need. The Trustees confirm that they have taken due account of the guidance contained in the Charity Cornmission'8 general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objective8 and in planning future activities. Achievements and performance Developments In the year to 31•1 March 2025 We delivered 3,539 sessions during the year, supporting 1.116 young people. This is 20/0 more sessions than the previous year, despite having to closeour two satellites which served Kingston clients in July 2024, due to funding being withdrawn. We also supported 352 parents and carers of young people, up ffom 214 in the previous year. Our counselling drop- in service saw 501 young people (compared to 542 the previous year) and we provided bookable counselling sessions to 549 young people, up from 501 in th8 previous y6ar. We identified five key objectives for the year and we made progress against all of these. 1 To diversify our fundraising and marketing materials in order to achieve income target8, to maintain suffici8nt rnsources to operate at our current capaclty We achieved our income targets for the year and further progress has been made on diversifying our fundraising. However, more still needs to be done regarding diversification. In particular, unrestricted donations and gffts increased to £126,986 in the year compared to £69,594 in the previous year. New grants included £19,500 from the Sisters of the Holy Cross Church, £15.000 from BBC Children in Need and £10,377 from Heathrow Community Trust.
OFF THE RECORD (TWICKENHAM) LTD (A company limited by guarantee) 2 To recruit sufficient addltlonal high-quallty counsellors to malntain and maxirnise current service offer at highest possible capacity We worked hard during the year to recruit new counsellors and, for the first time since Covid lockdown, we became fully staffed across all locations. 3. Improve efficiency through Implementing a customer relations management system (CRM). Further work has been done on scoping the requirements for a new databaselCRM, system, with a view to implementing such a system when we have the necessary funds to do this. Following this, there were a number of meetings with potential CRM providers, but we have not yet found one with the functionality which meets our specific requirements. 4. Develop staff processes to support staff retention and ensuro that staffing structure best meets the needs of the organisation. A draft staff handbook has been produced and this will be finalised and implemented in the coming year. We had no joiners or leavers in the year and the staff team has been stable for the past three years. 5. Develop our community and outreach work through our Friends and Young People's Advi80ry groups We recruited new volunteers for our Friends of OTR group and we reostablished our Young People's Advisory group (YPAG). This group was invaluable in collaborating on a project we worked on to provide support and guidance on self-harm and suicide. However, further progress needs to be made expanding our YPAG in order to fulfil the objectives which we would like this group to achieve. Plans for the future Our key objectives for the year to 31st March 2026 are to: Achieve income targets and recruit and retsin counsellors to operate at full, budgeted service capacity and, if additional funds are secured, look at expanding sep4ices by opening new satellites. Invest in infrastwcture {systems, structures and people) in order to improve efticiency and security of our current service offering and to facilitate potential future expansion. Develop our Young People's Advisory Group to ensure our services continue to meet the needs of our clients. Improve awareness and support for our service through improved use of digital resources and our Friends group and disseminate the impact of our work to slakeholders. Develop a three-year plan for 2026 to 2029
OFF THE RECORD (TWICKENHAM) LTD (A company limited by guarantee) Financial review 1) Overview The Charity's total income during the period was £305,913 (2024: £212,961) against a tolal expenditure of £309,743 (2024: £315,932), giving an operating deficit for the period of £3,830 (2024: £102,971 }. Reserves of £135,252 (2024: £139,083) are carried forward to the nexl financial year. Unrestricted reserves are £96,161 (2024.. £106,402) and restricted reserves are £39,092 {2024: £32,681). The charity made a deficit of £10,241 (2024: deficit of £62,357) on unrestricted funds. Unrestricted incorne was considerably higher at £177,958, compared to the previous year (£119,641). Charitable expenditure increased from £174,042 to £186,552, due principally to cost of living salary increases to staff, general inflationary increases in costs and the funding of certain satellites, where funding was retrospectively withdrawn. The charity made a surplus of £6,411 (2024: deficit of £40,614) on restricted funds. The deficit in the year to 31st March 2024 arose principally from the fact that c£40,000 of funding relating to that year was received in the previous financial year. The Board receives a financial report quarterly showing income, expenditure, current resources and commitrnents. The Board approves an annual budget and regularly reviews forecasts of income and expenditure. 2) Reserves policy The Board of Trustees, Principal consideration is to ensure that consistency is maintained for the vulnerable young people within its support system and, to that end. it recognises the importance of developing sufficient free reserves to support the organisation. The Charity's policy is to have tofal reserves of approximately six months total charitable expenditure. This includes unrestricted reserves to cover the possibility that funders, in particular of satellite hubs, may not renew funding in the future and that it might take time to find new funders foi those services or to cease their operations. At 315t March 2025, total reserves amounted to £135,253 (2024.. £139,083) which represented 5.3 months of total charitable expenditure (2024.. 5.4 months). 3) Material investments policy The Charity can invest money not required for its immediate purposes in investments, securities or propety, subject to conditions or consents as may be required by law. At 31 st March 2025, £80,822 (2024: £97,285) was held in three interest*arning bank deposit accounts. £60,185 was held across fixed-term bond accounts and £20.637 was held in a 35-day access account.
OFF THE RECORD (TWICKENHAM) LTD (A cornpany limited by guarantee) 4) Principal funding We have heard that many charrties of our size across the country have recently struggled wrth funding and, as a result, have had to close some of their services, so we are very grateful indeed to everybody who has supported our fundraising efforts over the last year. As noted in the Chair's Report, we received grant funding from Richmond Foundation, Hampton Fund, The Barnes Fund. NHS SW London ICS, The Sisters of The Holy Cross Church, BBC Children in Need and Heathrow Community Fund. We also received funding from Kew Fete. The Astor Foundation, Worshipful Company of Innholders and First Give. We, once again, received free office accommodation from St Mary's Church, Twickenham As well as our main funders, who are vital to our service, we are always very grateful to local groups and individuals who have donated to us or put on events to SLtpport us. This year these included a fundraising drive at The Prince Albert, Twickenham, an auction at the Cole Park Road Residents Association AGM and collections at Eel Pie Studios, Open Weekends. Cosco, Megans, TK Maxx, The Hampton Wick United Charity and The Teddington & Hampton Music Festival also supported us. One of our trustees. Claire Haynes, together with her running friends. ran the London Winter 10km, raising £3,500 for Off The Record Twickenham. James Whistler ran the London Marathon, raising a total of nearly £6,000. which was shared between us, Anthony Nolan and the Harlequins Foundation. James's time of 3 hours 12 minutes set a new Guinness World Record for the fa8test marathon by a person dressed as a Harlequin! We also ran a number of our own fundraising events which included stalls at the St Margarets Fair and Twickanham High Tide event. We also, once again, held our Christmas Carol concert, which was a great opportunity for some young people to show their support for us. While these events do not necessarily raise huge sums, we feel that it is important to have an opportunity to meet with our supporters and get involved in our communty. We are always thrilled, at these events, by how many people come up to us to share their gratitude at how our support has changed the lives of their children, friends or relatives. We had a very successful 'Quiz with a difference, in October, which included a silent auction, and we raised £7,000 from this evening. We will hold a similar event this October. Finally, we were deeply saddened by the loss of Poppy Drew in March 2024, and we know that all her friends and famity were profoundly affected too. Poppy clearly had very many friends, who cared deeply about her and to whom she was very special. We are immensely grateful that her family and friends made us the main charty in Poppy's memory and to date they have raised £22.000 in memory of Poppy. These very generous donations will provide vital support in helping us to continue our work with young people in crisis.

Accounting policies 1.1 Basis of preparation of the financial statements The Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and it is registered in England & Wales. Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards (FRS 102), the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting & Reporting by Charities {effective 1 st January 2019) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charity 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 notes. The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estirnation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 1.2 Fund Accounting Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of a grant. 1.3 Income AIS income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it 18 probable that the incorne will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations in kind are recognised at reasonable estimates of their grDSS value to the charity or the amount actually realised.
