_"I found the sessions to be a comfortable calm space where I could just be and let out much of the noise and anxiety in my head. I always left feeling supported and empowered to get through the week”._ 

## **OUR ORGANISATION** 

Kingston Bereavement Service (KBS) is a friendly, local charity established in 1988. We support children, young people, adults and families who have been bereaved and are trying to come to terms with the impact that the death of someone close is having on their lives. We deliver two key services: an Adult Bereavement Service and the Children and Young People’s Service (The Saying Goodbye Project). Counselling is provided by a team of professional volunteers who have undertaken our compulsory, specialist training programme in bereavement counselling. We also provide bereavement awareness training to other organisations and professionals, including schools, voluntary groups, health and social care agencies, hospitals and local employers. 

## **OUR OBJECTIVES** 

To help people who live, work, study or are registered with a GP in Kingston upon Thames who have been bereaved, to ensure that their experience does not prevent them from fulfilling their potential. Enabling them to heal through resolution and acceptance in order to rebuild a healthy life, re-engaging with family and community.

To promote understanding of bereavement in the community,  so that other professionals who care for individuals may be better equipped to support them when they have lost a loved one. We do this through training and outreach services delivered to other agencies, employers and schools. This increases understanding of the bereavement process and raises awareness of the services available when more support is needed.

## **THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

Kingston Bereavement Service (KBS) continues to provide a critical service to our community while facing the challenges that the  2022/2023 year has brought in relation to the ongoing war in Ukraine, high inflation and continued economic uncertainly. 

We continue as an organisation to adapt to this changing landscape and focus on providing bereavement support to those in Kingston and the surrounding area who need us. 

The past year has seen further organisational changes as we recruited a new service manager and adult and children's co-ordinators to strengthen our team. All have brought new life, energy and fresh ideas to our service. In addition, we continue to focus on ensuring we have an updated constitution, policies and procedures in place that support and protect our organisation, ensuring that we maintain our high standards of service. 

We continue to be supported by a number of funding sources and we are grateful for their ongoing and vital support. KBS continues to be financially challenged like so many others are in our sector, however, our board and management team are committed to working with our funding partners and those in our community to ensure the long-term security of the service. 

2023/2024 will be an important year for us as we plan to execute a number of funding initiatives. The first step was to change our name to Kingston Bereavement Support (in November 2023) and we plan to launch an initial fundraising campaign in early 2024 as well as focus on engagement with local businesses and other organisations. 

We continue to look to recruit for new trustees with the relevant desire and skill-sets to help us provide the ongoing and effective delivery of our key services. 

The KBS trustees would like to extend their sincere thanks for the continued support of our fantastic team of staff, counsellors and supervisors as well as strong support from our local community. Lastly, we would like to thank our fellow trustees for another year of their hard work and dedication as we continue to ensure this critical service is provided to those who need it most.

## **ADULT BEREAVEMENT SERVICE** 

Bereavement can impact on a person’s ability to work and affect their relationships, making them more socially isolated and less able to engage with others. 

A key objective of our service is to ensure that our clients’ experience of bereavement does not prevent them from fulfilling their potential, enabling them to heal through resolution and acceptance, in order to re-build a healthy life and re-engage with family and community. 


We continued to support adults who live, work, study or are registered with a GP in Kingston upon Thames. We counsel clients at our premises in central Kingston, as well as offering our service remotely. 

Throughout this year we have focused on strengthening our volunteer and staff teams to enable us to continue to offer the very best compassionate and professional counselling for our clients. 

We monitor the impact of counselling through client feedback and clinical questionnaires pre and post counselling.  This feedback supports the service’s strategic and client focused planning and development, for example, the training planned for counsellors. 

## **Counsellor CPD Training**

**At least 75% of clients had improved clinical outcomes across ten key areas including close relationships and wellbeing.**

## **CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES SERVICE** 


The Saying Goodbye Project (Children and Young People‘s Service) continued to positively impact on the lives of children and young people, despite a brief pause in referrals. Throughout the year, the service continued to offer counselling, support and advice to  bereaved children and young people, as well as their parents and carers. 

The Trustees appointed key staff during the year with a view to further strengthening the service and allow for further development and provision of our well regarded bereavement counselling. 

Feedback from parents and carers continues to demonstrate the positive impact of our counselling and support on the lives of the children they care for. 

Looking towards 2023/24 we can continue to build and strengthen our service to meet the needs of of local children and young people. 

“ _I can_ ’ _t thank you enough for the sessions provided to my child - they benefitted so much from the face to face sessions._ ” 

“ _My son really benefitted from face to face counselling sessions with his counsellor.  It felt comfortable and accessible during the sessions. The sessions provided him with coping strategies for different situations. He understands that the range of emotions he experiences are normal and is able to manage his feeling more calmly and rationally._ ”

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statement in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The Trustees complied with the duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charities Commission in exercising their power or duties. 

## **Report Approval** 

Approved by the Trustees on 12th December 2023 

Joshua Rozells - Co-chair 


_“Counselling was very helpful and changed my life. I am now a happier person as a result. My counsellor helped me work through my bereavement in a healthy way.”_

Kingston Bereavement Service 2022/2023 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW APRIL 2022 - MARCH 2023** 

The Trustees are pleased to present the financial statements for the charity for the year ending 31 March 2023. The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities. 

## **Financial Review** 

Kingston Bereavement Service is fortunate to have a wide range of funders, from individual donations to grant making bodies. Restricted income in the year of £45,998 and unrestricted of £74,160 gave total incoming resources of £120,158. Outgoing restricted resources of £46,573 and unrestricted of £94,157 resulted in a deficit for the year of £20,572 (2022 a deficit of £16,527). 

During the year, the principal funding sources were the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Integrated Care Board, Richmond Borough Council, the London Community Response Fund and Kingston Nursing Association. 

We are so very grateful to individuals and groups who donate to us and we would like to thank all of them. This includes the Alfred Charitable Trust, who have faithfully donated every year for at least 20 years. 

## **Risk Review** 

Annual risk assessments were made on operational, financial, governance and external risks and an action plan to mitigate areas of higher risk. Internal risks continue to be minimised by the implementation of procedures for the recruitment, vetting, training, supervision and appraisal of all volunteers and staff, financial controls and a plan to ensure consistent quality of service delivery. The year saw a continuation of the risk management strategy. 

The Trustees continued to review and update many of the policies including the Combined Information Policy, Private Counselling Policy, Equality and Diversity Policy, Safeguarding Adults, Child Protection, Health and Safety, Environmental and Staff Related Policies. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees have established a policy whereby an amount of the reserves is set aside in a contingency fund in order to continue the current activities in the event of a significant drop in funding or to wind down the charity in event of the need to close, including the cost of withdrawing from the staff pension fund which is a sizeable amount. This figure is reviewed annually at the end of the financial year. 

At present, £40,000 held by the charity for this purpose represents three months of the budgeted expenditure for the 2022/23 financial year excluding the pension withdrawal cost.

## **INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

## **Kingston Bereavement Service** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the above charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report** 

As the charity’s Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”). Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of "The Act". In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act: or 

2. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. 

Sian Lewis, ACA                                                                                                        Signed: 8 Coldbath Square London EC1R 5HL                                                                                                                  Date:  28.1.24
