Prewan Crisis Care OPERATIONAL UPDATE REPORT- I" Au ust 2024- 31"Jul 2025 Pregnancy Crisis Care (Plymouth & SE Cornwalll, has again had another busy year. In my role as Centre Manager. it remains a privilege to support our incredible team, which includes our staff, volunteers and our vulnerable clients. l am immensely proud ofourteam who have provided amazing5UPPOrtto so many people over this past year, working so diligently with such care and professionalism. We have received extremely positive feedback from clients and other professionals. This has been such an encouragement and acknowledges and affirms the need for this important work to continue. The larger grant funding awarded to us in 2022 from National Lottery helped us to continue developing and building our project over this year. This funding runs out at the end of November 2025. With local services being at capacity, we have received many referrals from different Health and Social Care departments. Clients have found their counselling sessions to be a lifeline, helping them through difficult and painful life experiences. The Centre has remained a stable, supportive, caring, safe space to support those who faced the shock and fear of an unexpected pregnancy. emotional distress following termination. and complex grief surrounding the devastating loss of a baby within or following a piegnancy. One highlight of our year - we were thrilled to raise some funding from local businesses to purchase a Baby Loss Memorial bench. In liaise with Plymouth City Council, this was ordered and placed in the Baby Loss memorial area at the new Crematorium, The Park, in Plymouth. It was opened by Alexis Bowater on 17 March 2025, with Plymouth Herald and Spotlight reporting on this event. The bench is a beautiful legacy for people to reflett and remember their little ones lost too soon in Plymouth in a secluded a rea at The Park. p. Alongside counselling clients and running the centre, other highliEhts included presenting a ta Ik for Hope in the City podcast. and a talk on Community Matters at Cr055 Rhythms, runnin8 our annual qui2 event, planning for our charity ball throughout the year, and attending the international Wave of Light event in October at The Hoe. One of our team ran the London Marathon to raise funds for us. and various other people, including previous clients raising money and awareness for us through sponsored events. Students were intetviewed and reports completed, Supervision for team members happened weekly and monthly. along with managing the administrative tasks of the centre and charity.
Prewancy Crisis Care STAFF & VOLUNTEER TEAM This year, the Centre Manager and Senior Counsellor/Administrator facilitated the management of the centre and co-ordination of the volunteer and trainee counsellor5. The team was made up of 8 volunteers14 of whom were trainee Counsellors on placement with us), and 4 part-time paid staff. Our 4 trainee Counsellors saw client5 to complete their counselling practice hours - either online via Zoom, by telephone, or face to face at the centre. They and all the other volunteer and paid Counsellors each held a client caseload, and were line-managed and supervised by Centre staff. We extend our sincere thanks to all our volunteers, who all have shown such dedicated care and commitment to our vulnerable clients again and again. TRUSTEES We again extend our immense thanks to our Trustees for their fantastic support of the work of the centre. Meetlng every 12 weeks, either face to face at the centre, or via Zoom, these meetings provlded space to discuss and overview the running of the centre. Chris Lavers contlnued as Chair, and Julie Stevens returned to the team as a Trustee, as well as volunteering as a volunteer Counsellor at the centre. Paul Read from DRIFT Advice came to talk with the Trustees about future options post-National Lottery funding ending, and he also helped us create an Aims and Vision statement for the centre. We are so thankful to all Trustees for thelr care, commitment and support of the centre and It's work over thls year. PREMISES Our premlses were again utlllsed well thls year, wlth many cllents attendlng counsellin8 at the centre.

The Trustee meetings were held at the centre every other quarter. Stratton Creber (building agents), contlnued to manage the bulldlng for the landlord. Wlth changes to our responsibilities for the maintenance of our tenancy, this meant there were additional and increased costs this vea r to ensure water quality checks, asbestos encapsulation and monitoring, and lighting and electrical testing and inspection certif icates for our area of the building.

Pregnancy Crisis Care "Just wanted to pop over on email as I've been thinking about our 5e55ion5 0 lot todoy. Baby boyfinolly got o nome ond he's called L... or lovely L... to pretty much oll of hisfumily. I wish I could go bock Gnd give the girl who used to come in to your office a big hug, ond tell her not to be so scored. Ifeel like I took on oll the sadness and pain during pregnoncyfor him to be born an obsolute ray of sunshine. He is such o lovely, happy, funny baby. He is absolutely the gift I didn't know I needed. He is such an eosy boby which I'm sure has contributed but l ab501utely odore him.

You're olso welcome to tell other clients my story ononymously as Ifound hearing how others got on really helpful. I think I was just very scored and very guilty and very, very unwell. But I really didn't hove onything to worry obout, even labour was pretty much finel And absolutely worth itfor him,.,..... l om so groteful you guys exist." These quotes conflrm the positive beneflts of attending counsellln8 wlth us. Pregnancy can brin8 many unexpetted feelings, What should be 3 Positive and excitlng Ilfe event for many people, can at times turn Into a very negative experlence for some. These difficulties can adversely affect the mental health and psychological wellbeing for those involved, their partners and their extended family. Clients often face confusion, shock, fear, anxiety, severe depression, complex grief, PTSD and suicidal thoughts. Hence our counselling service was a lifeline to those who needed us. We received an increase in crisis calls related to unexpected pregnancies this year. These clients were seen or spoken to within 24-48 hours due to the ur8ency of their situation. Lon8-term counsellin8 continued for other clients. To manage rising waiting lists, we reviewed the number of counsellin8 sessions offered, providing approximately 20-24 sessions, with some flexibility based on need. Clients seen for coun5ellin8 included.. Unexpected pregnancy- those strug8lln8 Wlth maklng dlfflcult declslons followlng an unexpected pregnancy Baby loss - miscarriage. stillbirth, neonatal death, ectopic pregnancy FertllSty Issues- difficulty getting pregnant, failed IVF Post-termlnatlon - those struggling following a termlnation, either for elective or for medical reasons Pregnancy Support- those struggllng with anxlety and depression in a current pregnancy, particularly difflcult after a previous loss Traumatlc blrth- those struggling with difficult trauma and memories after a traumatic birth Military personnel and their partners from Plymouth and surrounding areas continued to access our services, often feeling isolated and disconnected from family 5UPPOrt. Our counselling services remained crucial during diff icu It times. While unexpected pregnancy clients typically attended 1-2 sessions, other clients, including an increasing number of men, attended multiple counsellin8 sessions over several months, either alone or with a partner. Waltln Llst We maintained a waitin8 list for baby loss and post-abortion clients, which increased over the year to 32 clients at one point. Thi5 was due to increased referrals. The wart time for a n initial assessment was around 12-14 weeks, after which clients were assigned a regular counsellor. Crisis pregnancy and some pregnancy support clients were prioritised based on their pregnancy gestation.
Pregnan¢y Crisis Care Referrals Referrals were received from different professionals, including the Bereavement Midwife at Derriford Hospital, Midwifery team, Foetal Medicine team, GP'S, Termination clinic ISHIPI, the Perinata l Mental Health and Maternal Mental Health teams, The Zone, social care, Plymouth University, military personnel, social prescribers and other voluntary agencies. These referrals came from within the Devon and Cornwall area. Self-referrals were also received, via recommendation from other5, or from visiting our website. Social media also raised awareness. Our team supported clients as they processed difficult and complex feelings. These included anxiety, anger, fear, depression, trauma, PTSD and low self-esteem. U nexpected pregnancylcrisis pregnancy clients (individuals and couples) were sensitively supported to talk through their options and explore their feelings and thoughts around their situation. These confidential, impartial and unbiased sessions remained an important focus of our centre's work, to help ensure clients had a safe, unpressured space to consider their options at an often very difficult and complex time. Clients were referred to other local seNices if needs arose and further specialised support was needed. CLIENT FEEDBACK Client feedback has again consistently remained positive this year, and stories have been shared on Facebook and our website, with client permission. Three clients bravely shared their stories, and their videos were recorded and uploaded to our Vimeo channel a nd website. These will be used at events to raise awareness of issues raised within a Pregnancy crisis11055, as well as to promote further knowledge of our services. Female cllent- Baby Loss." l arrived at the centre feeling upset, traumatised, anxious, low mood and felt lost and tired. The counselling has helped me to feel more settled, to manage my grief. and to help identify my feelings. It has minimised all the heavy feelings. I feel happier in myself and my husband and I feel closer and more open to having deep conversations. The counselling has been fantastic to help us come to terms with our loss. Thank you for helping us. The service has been so valuable to us. Male cllent- Baby Loss: I felt sad, angry, down upset and weary initially. The counselling has helped me process our loss and be able to open up and talk about my feeling5 and what we have been through. The counselling has also improved our connection wrth being able to talk about our loss and how we can get through it as a family. I found the creative counselling cards and resources very helpful in being able to talk about feelings I wouldn't of been able to in the past. Couple Pregnancy Support: We wanted to give you an update after all the wonderful care you gave us earlier in the year. Not only did we get to 37 weeks, but actually went overdue and had to be induced at 41 weeks! We are now the overjoyed parents of our healthy, happy little boy IA), and simply ca n't believe how lucky we are to be in this situation, and how lucky we were to have your support during the dark times earlier in the year. Thank you so so much for everything you did for us and for all the amazing work PCC does for families in the region. I have already recommended you with zero hesitation to a couple of friends who have also been having difficult times with their pregnancies recently. FINANCES UPDATE Regular income from local individuals and organisations helped us to maintain a small. consistent income which we remain extremely grateful for. Alongside this, grant applications were applied for, though due to our success of the National Lottery (Reaching Communities) funding in 2022, we were limited to what we could apply for. Some of our core costs involved in running the project were covered by this larger grant. This grant is due to end on 30.11.2025. Smaller grants were applied to and a few were successful over the year. Fundraising was increased in different ways via events, clients running sponsored events and gifts received.
Pregnaney Crisis Care WEBSITE Our website continued to serve a5 a straightforward access point for information about our services. Several client5 kindly shared their stories, which are featured on our Vimeo channel and accessible through our website Iwww.pregnancycrisiscare.org.ukl. These videos help illustrate the impart of our work, and we have received referrals through the site as a re5uIt. This year, new video stories were produced by Dominick Finlan of View Hear Media, funded in part by our National Lottery grant. Social Media Thank5 to the funding received from the National Lottery, we were able to employ someone until November 2025 to manage our social media posts, highlighting key dates and events for the charity. This support has 518nif icantly improved engagement with clients, partner agencie5, and individuals. CRMS stem Our CRM system continued to help us collate client statistics in an accessible way. Weekly inputting of statistic data by our staff team helped us to pull off reports easily at the end of the year. LITERATURE Leaflets and business cards were sent on request to various agencies throughout the city and wider into Devon and Cornwall. These included Derriford Hospital Imaternitylmidwifery, Bereavement Midwife, Pregnancy Advisory Centre (PACI, Early Pregnancy Unit), GP surgeries, Plymouth University. Plymouth College of Art, Devon and Cornwall Social Care agencies, churches, The Zone, Plymouth Domestic Abuse Service, Perinatal and Maternal Mental Health Team, and Plymouth Option5. SUPPORT & FUTURE PLANNING We had fantastic support from Paul Read at DRIFT Ideas over this year. He attended a couple of Trustee meetings to encourage the team to think about future planning and also helped to develop our core values as a charity. These were discussed and agreed and then put up onto our website. OTHER SUPPORT We were proud to support one of our former trainee Counsellors Iwho has since qualified), Lisa Lillicrap, who ran the London Marathon earlier this year for us to raise awareness and funds for our centre. Many former clients very kindly offered to raise funds for us through running this year too. A lot of planning this year happened to ensure our next charity Ball held in October 2025 was a great success. We developed a fundraising team to help facilitate this which was greatly 5UPPQrted. Many thanks to all who were involved. io

Thls decision wlll be reviewed If needs and funds arise. Counsellln uidance rt and informa CLIENTS A8e ranges of clients have been between 14 and 73. Clients came from various backgrounds,. young people at collegeluniversity. vulnerable refugees, women in difficult/abusive relationships, military families/personnel, isolated from family and support. Others were clients who are working or on limited incomes. With the cost-of-living crisis, private counselling may be out of reach for even those who are employed. Hence, the provision of free counselling for those who are in deep distress was a lifeline to many. Many clients seen were isolated, with limited support networks. Clients were deeply distressed and struggled significantly with their mental. emotional and psychological health. Some struggled with severe depression or anxiety and PTSD symptoms, includin8 suicidal feelings. Through their counselling with us in a safe and confidential space, clients were supported to process complex grief, guilt, shame, shock, fear, depression, anxiety, panic and trauma. Manytimes, this was a long and slow road of recoveryto find some kind of healing, a sense of hope again and their'new normal., li

Clients, PTSD levels were also monitored using the SPRINT IPTSDI assessment tool, with scores recorded regularly throughout their counselling.

COUNSELLING PLACEMENTS During the year, we welcomed five trainee counsellors who joined us to complete their required 100 or 150 placement hours. Three of these trainees have now qualif led, while the remaining two are still working towards thelr hours. The students came from Astrantl Connect, Heartwood Institute of Counsellin8, Iron Mill, and Marjons. Their placements provided them with valuable hands-on counselling experience and enabled us to offer timely support to our clients. Throu8hout their time with us, the trainees received guidance through both internal line management and group supervision, as well as external supervision. We are very grateful for thelr dedicatlon and commltment In supportlng our cllents this year.

Pregnaney Crisis Care FUNDRAISING Fundraising is an important Part of our work and helped support provision of these services free of charge to our clients at their time of need. It also raised awareness of pregnancy-related crisis issues as well as highlighting our service. We were delighted to be able to return to our face-to-face annual quiz in March 2025 at Boringdon Park Golf club. This was very well supported and great fun was had by all again. Several clients or volunteers undertook fundraising events for us - these ranged from sponsored runs to hiring a room for u5 to run a coffee morning around baby loss awareness week - to raise awareness and funding forthe centre. MJ from Soul Singers attended this with her choir who sang some amazing songs for the people who attended. One of our previous student Counsellors, Lisa Lillicrap, ran the London Marathon for us. We were so encour3ged by these kind and amazingly generous efforts. These events, and helped to raise awareness, as well as raise much needed funding to help us continue to run the service. Many local businesses supported us through donation of raffle prizes, as well as attending the events. We were all so appreciative of the support given and shown. Other amazing support was received from former clients and other supporters. Also a variety of donations were received online over the year via: Localgiving.org JustGiving.org PayPal Giving Fund Ivia Facebook) Easyfundraising.org Funding bids and applications were written to various organisations and Trusts throughout the year.

TEAM MEETINGS and AGM Our AGM was held in November 2024, attended by team members and Trustees on Zoom. All Trustees were happy to continue with their roles. Team socials were organised at times throughout the year to get together as a team. 20
Pregnancy Crisis Care EMPLOYMENT The Centre Manager was employed for 16 hours per week, and Counsellors were employed for 14 hours, 8 hours and 10 hours. Our Administrator was employed for 12 hours a week. We employed a Housekeeper/Cleaner for 5 hours per week. Our cleaner fetired in August and we celebrated her time with us and her retirement by taking her out for a coffee and cake at a local restaurant. With the funding received from the Reaching Communities Fund INational Lotteryl, la 3-year grant, with payments transferred periodically every 6 months up to 3 years), these staffing ours were adjusted to meet the criteria specified in our grant application. With the unexpected extra funds received from Little Things & Co, some staff hours and roles were also slightly adjusted, thus towards working to an aspirational budget to support the running of the centre effectively. All other team members remained trainee or volunteer Counsellors and Practitioners. THE FUTURE Our aim for the future is to continue to provide this free service to those in need of care and support at times of great need and difficulty. To enable this, we wish to retain our employed roles to help support the running of this service. We would also like to raise funding to support employment of more paid counselling hours, to support the team and growing demands for our services from clients and professionals alike. The Centre Manager will continue to provide supervision and training to the volunteers, hold a caseload, and also oversee gener31 management of the Centre. That said, as our 3-year National Lottery funding closes at the end of November 2025, we will need to lower our costs and outgoings 35 we will no longer have the budget to maintain ourselves as we are currently. Our lease runs out again in August 2026. Hence staffing and premises will be reviewed over the next months ahead. In the meantime, we wish to continue working together and strengthening links with other agencies and services in the city to aid collaborative partnerships. This will help to ensure vulnerable clients receive holistic care and support. We continue to ensure that genuine care is provided for vulnerable individuals and couples who face difficulties around their pregnancy crisis or1055. In order to maintain the provision of a high quality, professional counselling service, there is always the ongoing need to secure regular funding and this also remains a priority to enable us to continue to provide this highly valued and much needed service. "We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all supporters, organisations, businesses, volunteers, and team members for their dedicated support. Your efforts provide invaluable help to vulnerable clients during difficult times, making a significant positive impact on their lives. We couldn't do this without you. so thank you immensely once again." 21
Pregnancy Crisis Care Professlonal Endorsements.. "Pregnancy Crisis care has provided vital support to women at such personal times in the women's lives who are in crisis or experienced losses. As a Perinatal Mental Health Team we have referred and signposted to the team as well as received referrals from the service for women in need. Our ongoing relationship with the service ensures women get appropriate support at times where is really needed. The service are experts in validating and understanding women's worries and anxieties about where they are in their journey of pregnancy/pregnancy loss and I have seen firsthand how it can support women emotionally to enable a more positive pregnancyltransition to parenthood which can only help to build outcomes for children and parents in the long term. We have only ever received positive feedback from women who have accessed the service and can only speak highly about the staff we interart with from the service to access the right support for women. As a team we have attended fundraising events as we understand the crucial work the service does for women in the community. Hopefully, it is a relationship we can continue to sustain tor years to come." Erin Russell Perinatal Mental Health Team Practice Lead/Health Wisitor "Working with women who have complex issues in pregnancy and who are often given difficult news and choices, we have found there is a long wait for counselling services within the NHS whether self-referring or referral via the GP. Consistently women we see are given contact details for Pregnancy Crisis Care with feedback always being positive. The counselling they offer to individuals and to couples cannot be underestimated as they are a fantastic sounding board for families who may otherwise feel they have nowhere locally they can access services. We are aware as a service Pregnancy Crisis Care are providing a non-judgemental, vital, and extremely worthwhile service within our locality. The number of patients and their families using the service has increased year on year and we are very grateful for the seNice they provide enabling them to access the service whatever their financial position., Ruth Rlce. Screenlng and Foetal Medicine Midwife Further Cllent uotes shared wlth emilsslon: Client feedback continues to be collated via feedback forms as well as anonymously via Survey Monkey. It remains heart-warming and a real honour to have received such encouraging feedback from so many of our clients. Here are a few samples of feedback people have left for us: Pregnancy Support cllent: I was very anxious In my pregnancy and felt overwhelmed, scared and lonely. The counselling gave me space to talk through worries without feeling like 3 burden or feeling like a broken record. The space for me to let out my emotions and not be judged or simply be told to 'not worry. has been $0 helpful. It allows me to work through my worries out loud. My husband has felt less pressure to be my only SUPPOrt. which has helped us. He was feeling out of his depth with helping me mange, so me seeking help has been beneficial to us. The sernice has been so helpful to me, thank you. Termlnatlon for medical reasons (TFMR} client couple: When we arrived at the centre, we felt hopeles5, devastated, helpless, lost and alone. We felt extreme anxiety and were desperate-these feelings heightened when we became pregnant after our previous loss. Not only were we supported through the devastation and guilt of TFMR, but also the immense anxiety that came with pregnancy after too. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that our Counsellor has saved us through an excruciatingly painful time in our lives. She helped us navigate such deep and intense feelings with no judgement. Although we remain devastated bv the loss of our son, we have channelled our grief and learned to live alongside it. which has provided a much happier and healthier family environment. We have gained coping strategies we will take with us throughout lrfe. I would also like to thank you for including my husband throughout the last 18 months which has undoubtedly strengthened our family unit. Our family are a happier team because of your, and we look forward to supporting Pregnancy Crisis Care in future. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Loved the warm and comfortable environment, and the non-judgemental, kind staff. Always gave prompt responses to querie5. A fantastic service. Thank you. 22
Pregnancy Crisis Care Infertility cllent: After navigating infertility for several years, I felt overwhelmed and a bit lost. I had had a bad experience with healthcare providers. The counselling helped me feel very supported. It was a great outlet beyond close relationships. We chose not to tell many people the journey we were on, and having an independent person to speak to really helped me. It helped me to rationalise when I was feeling overwhelmed. PCC is a great service and l am so grateful to have accessed this. Baby loss cllent- male: l am not sure that I would have made it through without the support that I have received. Life was so tough and I felt so lost. My counselling sessions often arted as the only anchor point I felt that I had to reality. My counsellor was always professional, compassionate and most importantly to me, she showed great patience with me. All of my relationships suffered after our loss. l am still not able to maintaln many even with close friends. I feel that the support that I was offered enabled me to stay in relationship with my partner and l am very grateful. 23

Pregnaney Crisis Care Financial Review In so far as the Trustees are aware: there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditor is unaware: and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the Charities Commission's website. The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the annual report and accounts. It is best practice for both documents to be approved by the Trustees as a body, in accordance with their usual procedure (for example. at a quorate trustees, meeting). The Trustees confirmed that they were compliant with the charl5 Reserve's policy, which was reviewed at Trustee's meetings regularly. The charity finances were overseen this year by Jane Frajbis, Centre Manager, Teresa Blackler, Ixerol. The Accounts were externally examined by Independent Examiner..
