“This was a very positive experience. As the weeks progressed it made me look at myself and understand how I could “ help myself. I felt quite stuck, it freed me from this and allowed me to understand how I can move forward.”

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 and were previously known as Kingston Bereavement Service.

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 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.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT

Trustees

Co-Chairs:

We are pleased to present the annual report and audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 and confirm that Kingston Bereavement Support complies with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Kingston Bereavement Support (KBS) is a community based registered charity providing high quality specialist counselling and support services to bereaved adults, young people and children who live, work or study in the Kingston area. Our mission is to help bereaved children, young people and adults in need of specialist support, make sense of their loss.

From our experience, we know that many people need access to the skilled support offered by Kingston Bereavement Support, which is why it is essential that we do everything we can to keep our service viable and accessible.

In the 12 months to 31 March 2025 we received 464 referrals, completed 167 client assessments and provided 1250 hours of free counselling across the service, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The Board is immensely proud of the positive and lasting impact KBS continues to have on our community.

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Achieving for Children and the Integrated Care Board awarded us a three-year Bereavement Counselling contract from 1st October 2024, with the potential to extend for two further years after three. This provides us with circa £100,000 annually in vital funding, for which we are deeply grateful. However, like many other charities, we continue to face funding challenges due to the prevailing economic uncertainty and its impact on operational costs and donations. We remain reliant on grants and other fundraising activities to cover the operational costs and ensure we maintain our well regarded high standards of support.

We are thankful for the generous grants and donations we receive from trusts, corporations and individuals and we are committed to working with our funding partners and those in our community to ensure the long-term sustainability of our services. In response to the changing funding landscape, we have also developed a refreshed fundraising strategy with new initiatives designed to diversify, de-risk and broaden our income base.

Finally, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our exceptional team of staff, counsellors and supervisors for their talent and dedication. We are also deeply appreciative of the continued support from our local community, which enables us to carry out this vital work.

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 in Kingston upon Thames. We counsel clients at our premises in central Kingston, as well as offering our service remotely.

“My counsellor was fantastic. As a clinician myself I was not expecting this level of empathy and kindness. I cannot express how grateful I am for this.”

We have have continued to focus on strengthening and developing our service provision, thereby ensuring that we are able to provide the very best compassionate and professional support for those in need of our help.

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.

At least 90% of clients had improved clinical outcomes across ten key areas including close relationships and wellbeing.

97% of clients reported that counselling was ‘very helpful’.

1,132 free counselling hours

41% of assessed clients reported having a disability that affects their daily life.

414

client referrals

135 referred clients accepted and attended an assessment

30% of clients were in receipt of benefits.

“ I would like to send a heartfelt thank you for the amazing support I have received. It was my first time in counselling and the experience was positive and reassuring. I am feeling more confident to deal with the difficulties I face. I have a greater understanding of why I feel the way I do in certain situations and have strategies to deal with that now.”

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S SERVICE

The Children and Young People‘s Service continued to provide personalised 1:1 bereavement counselling and advice throughout the year, positively impacting on the lives of children, young people and their families.

With support from our Board of Trustees and key staff, our service coordinator has continued to build and develop our well regarded specialist counselling, particularly in response to an increased number of referrals from families who have experienced a sudden and unexpected bereavement.

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

Looking towards 2025/26 we will continue to build and strengthen our service to meet the needs of local children and young people, as well as their families.

Referrals up by 22% from 2023-2024.

Assessments up by 19% from 2023 - 2024.

“Talking through the issues helped my wellbeing. My Counsellor was excellent.”

“After counselling he is much happier, he gets up on time and looks really happy.”

“My son’s Counsellor understood him and his needs. She has been amazing with him.”

“The support has been great. Both my children are going to need support over the years because of the complex nature of their loss.”

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all grant funders for enabling us to continue supporting those in need of our specialist help.

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:

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.

FINANCIAL REVIEW APRIL 2024 - MARCH 2025

The Trustees are pleased to present the financial statements for the charity for the year ending 31 March 2025. 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 £93,545 and unrestricted of £67,591 gave total incoming resources of £161,136. Outgoing restricted resources of £93,545 and unrestricted of £62,587 resulted in a surplus for the year of £5,004 (2024 a deficit of £4,653).

During the year, the principal funding sources were the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, NHS South West London Integrated Care Board, Richmond Borough Council, 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 2024/25 financial year excluding the pension withdrawal cost.
