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 chIld￿n 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 mon￿5 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 V￿re 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.

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.

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 chIld￿n 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 mon￿5 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 V￿re 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, drffIcu￿ieS gethng in touch with our InSu￿r$ 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 ¢1￿mStanCeS which made their conts'nued employment or volunteenng impossible. Open Minds Counselling Service Ltd Trustees, annual report for the year ended 30 September 2020 Summary of the maln achievements during the perlod continued IMP,'ACT! At the same time as lockdowm began stsrted to deliver an entirely new seNi¢e, known as IMP,ACT. Drawing on our extensive eXpenen￿ working wth children and adults with life distress, suicidality and complex needs. Open Minds developed the IMP'.ACT service to provide a combination of practical and psycholog￿1 support to individuals had intendod to die within 12 months of referral Providing lon9-temi, professional led support to wrap around Ihe indivlrjuai, IMP',ACT d•liv•rs highly spocialist and comprehensive care to individual3 Ytho would otherwise drop out of the system until future completion of suiade IMP'.ACT is a thorough process of unpicking all the damaging elements of an individual's lrfe and approach to living, and rebuilding these into healthy. funthonal pattems of behaving and being. As suth, IMP,'ACT vnrks in-depth with a b'ghlly-controlled caseload of seNi¢e users in order to maintain effective working. During the first 16 month of the service IMP',ACT received 44 referrals and worked wth 20 individuals to move them into long temi coping and healthy behaviours. IMP',ACT's SROI (Soual Rebjm On Inestment} is £269 per £1 inv8Sted, with 10 individuals dlre¢tly stating they would have completed suicide without the intervention of IMP',ACT. The 2021 IMP,ACT report is available at Reports | IMP.,ACT Team (makin*an-impaGt.com) The budget for IMP.ACT is £52,204 per annum, for 2 years Risks The directors regularty review the risks that th8 company faces and seek lo manage them a¢¢ordingly Financial risks faced include loss of grant funding. In order to manage ihis risk we are continually looking for further restncted funds to continue our work and also encourage donations to build up reserves. ArK)ther risk is sbjdent counsellors leaving Open Minds. This risk is managed by working with Colleges arKJ advertising Plaomont opportunth'es for treir students. The company's policy on reserve$ We have implemented a suggested minimum donation of £3 per session for bolh counselling and training in order lo ￿lId up un￿stnCted reserwes. With this, Open Minds will be able to continue payirvJ rts ovethaads when funding has expired.
