Thank you.”**_ ## **OUR ORGANISATION** Kingston Bereavement Support (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. We changed our name to Kingston Bereavement Support in November 2023, we were previously known as Kingston Bereavement Service. ## **OUR OBJECTIVES** To help people in 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 reach everyone in the community who needs us: children, young people, adults, families, those who are disadvantaged and are socially isolated. We provide specialist bereavement support to those experiencing sustained emotional and psychological distress as a result of bereavement and to those with additional support needs. 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. ## **Registered Office** Welcare House 53-55 Canbury Park Road Kingston upon Thames KT2 6LQ 020 8547 1552 info@kbscharity.org.uk www.kingstonbereavementsupport.org.uk Charitable Incorporated Organisation Registered Charity No. 1160983 ## **Organisational Affiliations** - Child Bereavement UK - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - Registered Provider (No. 8AE75) to GPs within South West London Integrated Care Service (ICS) ## **Independent Financial Examiners** Sian Lewis, FCA 8 Coldbath Square London EC1R 5HL ## **Bankers** Lloyds Bank 83 Clarence Street Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1RE Virgin Money 40 St Vincent Place, Glasgow, Scotland, G12HL Co-operative Bank P.O.

Kingston Bereavement Support (KBS) is a community based registered charity providing high quality specialist counselling and other services to bereaved adults, young people and children who live, work or study in the Kingston area, who need us. Without access to the skilled psychological support offered by KBS, there are people who would sadly be left to cope alone with the death of a loved one. Accordingly, it is vitally important that as a charity we do everything we can to keep our service viable. The last year has been challenging for the charity sector as world events, economic uncertainty and the continued cost of living crisis impacted on costs and donations. We continue to be supported by a range of funding sources, and we are grateful for this ongoing crucial support. During 2023, we were informed by both the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Achieving for Children and the Integrated Care Board of their intention to move to a joint, contract-based award. After a great deal of work by the team preparing the contract bid, and following a period of waiting, we were delighted to be successfully awarded a three-year contract, providing over £100k annually of vital funding. However, like other not-for-profits, we continue to face fundraising challenges. 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. In the new year we have planned a number of new fundraising initiatives to help us diversify our funding sources and we continue to focus on engagement with local businesses and other organisations to advance our fundraising endeavours. The KBS Board of Trustees are immensely proud of the work of our charity and its beneficial effect to people who use our service, as evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive feedback we receive. We would like to extend sincere thanks to our brilliant, dedicated team of staff, counsellors and supervisors for their talent and commitment in supporting the work of the Charity, along with the much-appreciated strong support from our local community. ## **Trustees** ## **Co-Chairs:** Joshua Rozells Sione Marshall (left September 2024) Beverley Greenstein (from September 2024) **Treasurer:** John Farmer **Clinical Trustee:** Sione Marshall **General Trustees:** Tara Kent Beverley Greenstein **Trustees appointed after year end** Sione Marshall (Associate Trustee September 2024) Christina Zarifi (General Trustee November 2024) ## **Staff** **Service Manager:** Christina Buckley **Adult Service Coordinator:** Nadine Doran-Holder **Children and Young People’s Service Coordinator:** Emilia McIntyre (left August 2024) **Adult Service Support Worker:** Samantha Burch **Service Administrator:** Helen Shah **Database Volunteer:** Shelley Cato ## **Adult Service Counsellors:** Sue Bastow; Camelia Burn; Pauline Deakin; Sharon Evans; Diane Harding; Hannah Huxley; Tanya Kasozi; Magdalena Kedziora; Larissa Leiser; Emma Lloyd; John Maina; Hayley Manning; Bukky Maybank; Heather McAdam; James McDonald; Emily McMahon; Oliver Milton; Rachel Munro; Claire Murray; Sarah Murray; Aniko Nagy; Matt Priest; Param Singh; Barbara Widden ## **Saying Goodbye Project Counsellors:** Linda Capitelli; Claire Murray ## **Supervisors:** Lindsay Canham; Elizabeth Kovacs; Jim Kuykendall and Mary Pelham ## **Trainers:** Anvita Maden Bahel; Stephen Callus; Lindsay Canham; Fiona Dunkley; Deri Morrow ## **Board of Trustees** 2 ## **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 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 and developing our volunteer counselling team 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. _**“I've found the sessions super helpful; it made me understand more what was triggering my panic attacks and the pain of grief. The guidance and support provided for me have been helpful with navigating the complexities of grief.”**_ ## **458 client referrals** **24% from 2022-23** **At least 83% of clients had improved clinical outcomes across ten key areas including close relationships and well-being.** ## **1,152** **counselling hours** t **23% from 2022-23** **95% of clients found counselling was very helpful.** **”** _**Introduced me to mindfulness and managing stress; allowed me to talk about my loss outside of my family.**_ **”** **165 referred clients accepted and attended an assessment** ## **Counsellor CPD Training** Race and Culture **“** _**Very positive - life changing. Sometimes you need to be shown the way - thank you**_ **.”** - Experiential Death and Bereavement Death by Suicide - Pregnancy and Infant Loss - Trauma 3 ## **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, young people and their families. 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 and key staff continued to work together, along with partner organisations, to further strengthen and develop our well regarded bereavement counselling service 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 2024/25 we can continue to build and strengthen our service to meet the needs of local children and young people. _**“Everyone has been so helpful and kind to my family. My daughter has felt accepted and understood. Her counsellor has been very generous in support offering crafts and fun activities to supplement the therapy.”**_ _**“Just a big thank you for being so helpful in this journey, especially as a parent who was feeling very lost at how best to support her children.”**_ 4 ## **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 3rd December 2024. 5 ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW APRIL 2023 - MARCH 2024** The Trustees are pleased to present the financial statements for the charity for the year ending 31 March 2024. 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 Support is fortunate to have a wide range of funders, from individual donations to grant making bodies. Restricted income in the year of £48,971 and unrestricted of £101,552 gave total incoming resources of £150,523. Outgoing restricted resources of £48,971 and unrestricted of £106,205 resulted in a deficit for the year of £4,653 (2023 a deficit of £20,572). 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 and Inclusion Policy, Safeguarding Adults, Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy 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 2023/24 financial year excluding the pension withdrawal cost. 6 ## **INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL EXAMINER’S REPORT** ## **Kingston Bereavement Support** I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the above charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. ## **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.
