Financial Review

|---|---|---|
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | At the end of the period the charity had sufficient funds to cover all essential costs, including employment and running costs. These were grant funded jointly during this period by several funders, including The National Lottery Community Awards Fund, NHS/LA, and Opportunity Area funding. Staff redundancies were provided for if needed, although this was not necessary. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Open Minds asks for client donations in order to build reserves. Reserves are held for expenses not covered by funders, and towards the possibility of redundancies where funding is not secured. |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | £21,393 |

| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | Inevitably Open Minds relies on grant funding and contracts for service delivery in order to continue functioning. The people with whom we work are typically in poverty and cannot contribute sufficiently in order to allow our unrestricted income to meet our full organisational costs. During this period we were aware that grants were not available from any non- NHS or Local Authority source which would fund counselling provision, and were therefore preparing our team for the potential closure of Open Minds in April 2022 if funding was not secured. |

Oh My To say this year has been a rollercoaster is probably an understalementl Prior to October 2019 struggled with a key staff member being out of work for a substsntsal portion of the year, meaning that a key role within the organisation had to be absorbed by others, reducing our capacity to support children and young people. Due to surging numbers of chIldn and young people on the waiting list we consulted families on what thoy would benefit from, and planned a new project under the lottery whith vrt)uld allow young people to drop in on a Saturday and have a calming, lun space, run by of our CYP counsellors We began garden d8sign and restoration project *hich lMinated in July 2019 at our Open Day, creating an outdoor creative space for children and especially seNing as a sensory spac6 for neuro-atypical clients. The children's support group was called Saturday Space. We designed the room in consultstion with young people already attending therapy, and we donated mon5 to make rt a suitable spa. This even included a PS3 and gamesl Unfortunately despits being designed by and with children and young people and with them in mind the Saturday Space service had no attendees at any poinll We were very sorry to have no thildren and young people to work with, bul our evaluation could not really explain why. Families and the young people themselves frequently expressed interest and professionals often contacted Open Minds about the Saturday Space. but this did not translate into attendance. We thefefore redeployed the Saturday Space children's counsellors back to one to one work.
Open Minds Counselling Service Ltd Trustees, annual report for the year ended 30 September 2020 Summary of the main achievements during the period continued Floods! In November 2019 VOP had a different type of adversity, when the rains camel Not only did large parts of Doncasterfk)od, but our building itsew suffered minor damage due to the rains, as one of our ceilings was leaking! For client and staff safety we V•Ere closed sporadically when people Uld not reach us safely. We phoned all of our clients however on every occasion to check in with them and make sure rf they needed support il was available to th8m. This 18ad on to tho landlord scheduling a boiler replacyment, and ceiling repair- causing more disrupts'onl Dunng this period we again couldn't See clients, for health and safety, and spent most of our time moving fumiture back and forth out of the way of the workmen. One positive however was Ihat we paid extra for the workmen to install radiators on our floor, as we have not had central heatsng in Ihe building until now When w8 wera finally back on track, after losing nearty all of November to floods and subsequent boiler refitting we then had Gas Leakl Actually we didn't, but after the boiler people left and r8-opened, w8 tIK)ught we had gas leak, and had to close for one aay as an emergency wthile the gas board came to theckl By Ihis point we thought we were jinxed, but thankfully our clients were incredibly understanding. We phoned, texted and wrote letters of apology to all of ihe clients affected, they themselves Vre understandiThJ of the disruptson being out of our control. Cumulatively had been closed to the public unexpectedly and spor8dically for nearly 7 ekS in November and December combinad. Once 2020 arrived, we were back on track, su¢ce3sfully managing the waiting list, working well wilh children, young people arKJ adults, and looking at new ways of improving our seNices. When all of a sudden... Pandemicl Teaching us that you should never count your chickens, the universe brought us the collective trauma that has been COVID19 and lockdown. On 17th March 2020 we took the deasion to begin MOte working. We spent the day phoning every dienl and counsellor of Open Minds and giving them the opportunity to wait until fa to face counselling could resume, or to begin V*rJrking by telephone or video calling. Thankfully after the initial shock to the system of getting th8 Systems and resources in place to let us operate effectively, we began to pick up steam. Intemet problems, drffIcuieS gethng in touch with our InSur$ and so forth delayed us initially but after a week we were again operational. We had been frighlene(J at first thai our capacity would tjrop too much to allow us to be effective but found we went from 114+ fa to face clients a week, to initially 30 clients remotely, to around 70 clients aged 13 and over remotely, with referrals continuing to in¢ase. This was achieved even in spite of a reduction in the availability of our counsellors. as many had small children or other caring responsibilities at horne vthich prevented them being able to offer counselling, alongside others vtho experienced their own losses during this period, and were no longar èmotionally able to provKle counselling whilo they themselve$ grigvod. We also lost several staff. not to death but due to thoosing to 8ve due to personal ¢1mStanCeS which made their conts'nued employment or volunteenng impossible.

This benefits the public because it is a subsidised sèrvice %thich is otherwise not available within the doncaster area. People accessing our service I)Uld ott)erwise have no access to psychological support of this nature. Summary of the main achievements durfng the perlod Floods, Gas Leaks. PandemirA. Oh My To say this year has been a rollercoaster is probably an understalementl Prior to October 2019 struggled with a key staff member being out of work for a substsntsal portion of the year, meaning that a key role within the organisation had to be absorbed by others, reducing our capacity to support children and young people. Due to surging numbers of chIldn and young people on the waiting list we consulted families on what thoy would benefit from, and planned a new project under the lottery whith vrt)uld allow young people to drop in on a Saturday and have a calming, lun space, run by of our CYP counsellors We began garden d8sign and restoration project *hich lMinated in July 2019 at our Open Day, creating an outdoor creative space for children and especially seNing as a sensory spac6 for neuro-atypical clients. The children's support group was called Saturday Space. We designed the room in consultstion with young people already attending therapy, and we donated mon5 to make rt a suitable spa. This even included a PS3 and gamesl Unfortunately despits being designed by and with children and young people and with them in mind the Saturday Space service had no attendees at any poinll We were very sorry to have no thildren and young people to work with, bul our evaluation could not really explain why. Families and the young people themselves frequently expressed interest and professionals often contacted Open Minds about the Saturday Space. but this did not translate into attendance. We thefefore redeployed the Saturday Space children's counsellors back to one to one work.
Open Minds Counselling Service Ltd Trustees, annual report for the year ended 30 September 2020 Summary of the main achievements during the period continued Floods! In November 2019 VOP had a different type of adversity, when the rains camel Not only did large parts of Doncasterfk)od, but our building itsew suffered minor damage due to the rains, as one of our ceilings was leaking! For client and staff safety we V•Ere closed sporadically when people Uld not reach us safely. We phoned all of our clients however on every occasion to check in with them and make sure rf they needed support il was available to th8m. This 18ad on to tho landlord scheduling a boiler replacyment, and ceiling repair- causing more disrupts'onl Dunng this period we again couldn't See clients, for health and safety, and spent most of our time moving fumiture back and forth out of the way of the workmen. One positive however was Ihat we paid extra for the workmen to install radiators on our floor, as we have not had central heatsng in Ihe building until now When w8 wera finally back on track, after losing nearty all of November to floods and subsequent boiler refitting we then had Gas Leakl Actually we didn't, but after the boiler people left and r8-opened, w8 tIK)ught we had gas leak, and had to close for one aay as an emergency wthile the gas board came to theckl By Ihis point we thought we were jinxed, but thankfully our clients were incredibly understanding. We phoned, texted and wrote letters of apology to all of ihe clients affected, they themselves Vre understandiThJ of the disruptson being out of our control. Cumulatively had been closed to the public unexpectedly and spor8dically for nearly 7 ekS in November and December combinad. Once 2020 arrived, we were back on track, su¢ce3sfully managing the waiting list, working well wilh children, young people arKJ adults, and looking at new ways of improving our seNices. When all of a sudden... Pandemicl Teaching us that you should never count your chickens, the universe brought us the collective trauma that has been COVID19 and lockdown. On 17th March 2020 we took the deasion to begin MOte working. We spent the day phoning every dienl and counsellor of Open Minds and giving them the opportunity to wait until fa to face counselling could resume, or to begin V*rJrking by telephone or video calling. Thankfully after the initial shock to the system of getting th8 Systems and resources in place to let us operate effectively, we began to pick up steam. Intemet problems, drffIcuieS gethng in touch with our InSur$ and so forth delayed us initially but after a week we were again operational. We had been frighlene(J at first thai our capacity would tjrop too much to allow us to be effective but found we went from 114+ fa to face clients a week, to initially 30 clients remotely, to around 70 clients aged 13 and over remotely, with referrals continuing to in¢ase. This was achieved even in spite of a reduction in the availability of our counsellors. as many had small children or other caring responsibilities at horne vthich prevented them being able to offer counselling, alongside others vtho experienced their own losses during this period, and were no longar èmotionally able to provKle counselling whilo they themselve$ grigvod. We also lost several staff. not to death but due to thoosing to 8ve due to personal ¢1mStanCeS which made their conts'nued employment or volunteenng impossible.
