## **WELCOME FROM OUR CHAIR** 

Young People’s Independent (YPI) Counselling Service continues to be committed to improving the lives of young people aged 11 to 25 years old through the provision of mental health and well-being support services in Basingstoke and Deane. For the past 22 years, YPI has successfully delivered community-based support to young people, through free 1-to-1 counselling sessions, group work and psychoeducational activities. 

During 2020/21, YPI continued its core activities to support young people by offering counselling and emotional support to young people, parents and family members. Throughout the period Sam Hussey our CEO and her Team have worked to navigate the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, supporting both young people and ensuring a safe working environment for employees. This has included adopting an agile approach to service delivery and moving to an online platform to continue to support our clients during what has been a difficult period for all. 

The changing environment has left a greater demand for counselling services than ever before and the level of need has increased significantly during this time. The Team has worked hard to keep up to abreast of key issues and continues to deliver a high standard of support through an experienced Counsellors and Mentors. 

During the year I have received the honour and privilege to be appointed as the Chair of Trustees for YPI, taking over from Kelly Lincoln who stepped in as Interim Chair in 2018/2019. We would like to thank Kelly for her support, guidance, and wisdom and are delighted that she remains with us as a Trustee. Whilst my time with YPI has been short, I have enjoyed working with Board of Trustees and CEO to develop our strategy for the next three years ahead. Whilst it is recognized that there remains uncertainty across the nation as a result of the pandemic, the key focus for YPI in the next three years is to continue to deliver a high-quality service for those in need whilst making the charity as sustainable as possible. 

Equally as a Board of Trustees we have spent a lot of time revisiting our own governance and improving on how we deliver most effectively to support Sam and the YPI Team. I look forward to reaping the benefits our work in the year ahead. 

During the period YPI has taken the decision to separate from The Mindspace Foundation CIC, which under the leadership of Tony Capon, will be taken in a new direction as we move forward. Tony has been involved in the charity for many years and the Trustees would like to thank him for his support and wish him every success in the new venture, as we both continue with our shared goal of supporting young people in the area. 

We, the Board of Trustees, would like to thank all of our volunteers and staff who have remained loyal and steadfast during the journey we have been on in 2020/2021. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated, hardworking and passionate Team who are committed to delivering our services for young people in the local area. We would also like to thank our generous donors and grant funders who continue to support YPI’s objectives and ensure YPI continues to deliver much needed services in our community. 

The year ahead will no doubt present further challenges, grant funding has been impacted as a result of the pandemic and a robust fundraising strategy is being implemented to ensure that we can continue to meet the increased demand for services. We are confident the changes we have made and continue to make will enable YPI to continue to provide counselling and mentoring services to the young people we serve. 

We are delighted to be supporting YPI in driving and delivering its strategic objectives and we look forward to another strong year in 2021/22. We have the pleasure in presenting YPI’s Annual Report and Financial Statement for the year ended March 2021. 

Natalie Shoemark-Dyer, Chair of the Trustees

## **CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT** 

As YPI’s CEO, I am exceptionally proud to be part of an organisation that is dedicated to enhancing the emotional well-being of young people in our community. We have faced many challenges in 2020/21, notably due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We have and continue to remain resilient at an unprecedented globally challenging time. Throughout 2020/21 we have worked hard to provide the best possible service to as many clients as possible. We responded very quickly and effectively at the start of the pandemic to ensure that YPI continued to counsel and mentor as many young people as possible. During 2020/21 we increased both counselling and mentoring capacity and we expanded the mentoring service in local GP surgeries and continue to build relationships with local clusters. We have learnt from having to do things differently during the height of the pandemic and we now offer a hybrid service to clients whereby they can be counselled or mentored remotely or face to face, this is dependent on client need/want.  The demands on YPI services are always very high, however, as we navigate our way through the pandemic, the demands are at an even higher level. I am pleased to say that we have been successful in gaining pandemic emergency funding this year, and this will help us meet the ever-growing demands on the service. 

There are key areas that set us aside from other charities: 

- **Dedication to young people:** we are the only non-statutory provider of youth counselling and mental health support in Basingstoke that has been specifically established for this purpose. For us, supporting young people isn’t an ‘add-on’ or ‘nice to have’ service but is instead at the heart of who we are, with the full weight of our resources, skills and expertise dedicated to offering first-class service. 

- **Championing community:** unlike larger charities who may set up satellite or sub-offices within the area to deliver specific services/contracts, YPI takes pride in being a local charity for local people. As a result of this, we hold an unparalleled position at the heart of local youth provision, adapting and developing to meet the needs of our community as they arise. 

I would like to thank all staff for your commitment and support over the last year, all staff have gone above and beyond expectations and it has meant that YPI has been able to offer the best service possible under difficult, unpredictable circumstances. 

2020/21 has been a very challenging year for everyone, however, I believe we rose to the challenge.  I look forward to developing new ideas and plans in 2021/22 and putting our new 3 year strategy into practice. 

Samantha Hussey, Chief Executive

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **OBJECTIVES, ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

YPI’s constitutional aims are: 

- To preserve and protect the health and welfare of young people by establishing, developing and maintaining a youth support, information, advice and counselling service for young people in the age range of 11 to 25 years of age, but not limited to, the area of the local government district of Basingstoke & Deane. 

- To carry out such activities that promote the health and welfare of young people in the area of benefit, not covered above, as deemed necessary by the charity trustees. 

These aims are underpinned by YPI’s Vision, Mission and Values and are achieved through YPI’s 3 strategic objectives: 

**1. Whole Family approach** – in alignment with our focus on the well-being of Young People we will enhance our core offer to include support for the wider family surrounding a young person including parents and guardians. We will therefore focus our services on ensuring that the key people in a young person’s life are able to access the support they need. 

2. **Act on the Voice of Young People and their families to deliver greater impact -** We will continue to roll out a comprehensive suite of outcome measurement tools and processes across all of our services, this includes ensuring that the voice of young people and families are captured at every step and fully inform all that we do. We shall seek to develop systems for keeping service users, parents and referrers informed and up to date on our activities as part of a ‘Friends of YPI’ network for those who wish to join. 

3. **Champion financial sustainability in all that we do -** As the charity sector continues to brace itself against the context of an ever-shrinking public purse amidst ever growing need, YPI faces the increasingly precarious situation of currently being wholly grant reliant. The direction of YPI’s work is informed by our annual operational business plan incorporating YPI’s strategic objectives as outlined above. 

Throughout 2020/21 YPI continued to deliver the charity’s core activities of providing free 1-2-1 counselling to young people aged 11 – 25 in Basingstoke and Deane. With the ever changing working climate due to the pandemic, we have moved into a hybrid approach and will now offer both remote and face to face counselling and mentoring. 

Last year saw a high demand for our mentoring service offering and this is an area the charity wishes to continue to expand. In 2020/21 YPI continued with our YOU mentoring service which is funded by Lloyds Community Foundation. This service specifically provides mentoring for young parents and care leavers aged 17-25. 

We also developed a presence in two GP clusters in Basingstoke and Deane, and have been providing mentoring within those clusters during this financial year. This service has been very successful and it means that we have more of a presence within our community. 

In addition to the paid staff team, YPI’s activities are supported by a team of dedicated volunteers who undertake a number of roles ranging from Trustees and Counsellors, Mentors to Administrators and Fundraisers. Half of our Counsellors are volunteers, providing over 1000 hours of voluntary counselling support to young people each year. Our team of passionate and dedicated volunteers represent over £50,000 in financial terms, with services significantly impacted were it not for their continued support and generosity.

YPI continues to improve our website and use social media to enhance the YPI profile and make it easier for young people to access information about our services.

## **Summary Performance Statistics:** 

**Total clients worked with across all services** : **1,284** 

## **Total sessions delivered across all services** : **2,754** 

## **HOW WE MEASURE PERFORMANCE** 

To assess the impact and effectiveness of the charity’s work, YPI use various outcome measurement tools at every stage of our service lifecycle, these measures include: 

- **Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (CORE) tool** : all clients are asked to complete this internationally standardised clinical questionnaire comprising 10 questions at the beginning of every session/interaction with us. We monitor this score as counselling progresses to evidence any changes in well-being/distress and to monitor risk. 

- **End of counselling feedback questionnaire:** given to all service users at the end of their interaction with our services, this questionnaire captures feedback ratings on all areas of the service. 

- **Life Areas Impact Rating Tool** : this measure was rolled out across our counselling services for the first time in 2018. The measure comprises a pre-and-post intervention measure that seeks to capture client’s feelings about key areas of their lives such as family relationships, school/work and self-esteem. 

## **Service user involvement** 

To ensure that our services continually reflect the needs and feedback of the young people, parents and families we serve, we continue to enhance our service user involvement strategy. Our existing provision includes the use of an annual stakeholder survey, end of service feedback forms and suggestion boxes/slips to provide regular feedback placed within all delivery venues. 

## **Statement on Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and our main activities are described above. The activities by YPI are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit in accordance with our aim to promote the health and welfare of young people aged 11 to 25 years of age, in the area of but not limited to, Basingstoke & Deane. 

## **Charity Governance Code** 

The Board and Senior Management adhere to the Charity Governance Code and are planning to conduct an audit of the code in relation to YPI’s current practices to ensure full compliance. 

Page | 10 



## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

## **Plans and objectives for 2021/22** 

During the forthcoming year we will continue to develop initiatives to deliver our strategic objectives which will have been altered slightly in line with a new three year strategic plan, which spans April 2021- 2024. 

We plan to develop our community presence through GP surgeries and having more of a counsellor/mentor presence in local secondary schools. We will offer a hybrid approach of counselling/mentoring to young people where they can decide whether they receive remote or face to face counselling/mentoring. 

To ensure **sustainability** we will: 

- **Emergency Grants** –  We will continue to apply for remaining emergency grants to employ more counsellors and mentors, provide training and the general requirements for our immediate and medium sustainability at this time. 

- **Longer-term grant applications** –  We will look at a longer term, larger strategic grants to fund our core services. We will also be able to partake in more community fundraising as we come out of the strict restrictions associated with the pandemic. Corporate fundraising will also become part of our fundraising plan. 

- **Funding streams** – We are seeking further funding streams within the community, such as GP surgeries and secondary schools. 

## **The Challenges Ahead** 

- The Covid-19 Pandemic has and will continue to have a huge impact on young people’s lives for the next few years. We have seen a marked increase in certain areas of concern in both our counselling and mentoring services. Many young people are displaying higher levels of risk and need. 

- To ensure that existing youth projects and services remain financially viable and supported through appropriate grant and donation streams, with a view to examining our ‘Return on Investment’ approach to resourcing when launching short term projects. 

- Ensuring the right balance of volunteer and trainee counsellors versus employed and experienced counsellors to meet higher levels of demand to support high-risk young people with often complex mental health needs.

**STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Structure** 

YPI is a registered charity (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation) in England and governed by a constitution. YPI’s objects are to achieve public benefit as set out in our constitution, and delivered through our strategic objectives and operating plan, as previously detailed. 

## **Governance and Management** 

## Non-Executive Directors / Trustees 

YPI’s governance is overseen by a board of six voluntary and independent Trustees (Non-executive Directors), each of whom are appointed by the charity’s board. Each Director assumes a specific portfolio upon appointment to ensure that all areas of YPI’s governance receives due care and attention and is aligned with the specialist expertise of the Director appointed. Through 2020/2021 the Directors were: 

Natalie Shoemark-  Chair Person Kelly Lincoln Daniel Holloway Edward Butler Edward Pironti Patrick Holt Paul Crawte Vicky Morley 

## Chief Executive Officer 

Responsibility for the strategic and operational management of the charity is delegated by the Board of Directors to YPI’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The role of the CEO is to provide overall leadership and direction to the organisation and its staff, including managing stakeholder relations, monitoring performance and developing the service as a whole in conjunction with the senior management team. 

## Clinical Services Manager 

Responsibility for the clinical management of YPI’s core counselling team. The role is to ensure that all young people, parents and families accessing YPI’s services receive a first-class service from a team of highly skilled and well supported clinical staff. 

## Volunteers 

The CEO or Clinical Services Manager, as applicable, are responsible for managing the appointment of Volunteers and ensuring all Volunteers receive a comprehensive induction along with ongoing supervision, training  and support. 

## **Induction and Training of Trustees, Staff and Volunteers** 

YPI recruits new Directors through local and national adverts and interviews potential new Directors with reference to a job description and person specification. During the year Directors have the opportunity to attend relevant insight and development and governance workshops. All of our volunteers, including Directors, receive a comprehensive induction along with ongoing, training opportunities and all Counsellors receive supervision support. 

Page | 12 



## **Organisational Structure and Decision Making** 

The Directors consider governance issues at their regular Board meetings. The Board meet every month throughout the year with the CEO to ensure all governance issues are regularly addressed. The Directors delegate responsibility to the CEO for ensuring that service provision is carried out within the overall charity’s strategy; for overseeing the charity’s progress in meeting its objectives; and ensuring that the charity meets its legal and financial obligations. A detailed Operational Plan is used by the CEO and senior staff to report to the Directors on progress against identified actions. 

## **Key Management Remuneration** 

The trustees, the CEO and the Clinical Services Manager comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge o f directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. 

Senior managers’ pay is aligned to local government pay scales with pay increases mirroring nationally agreed increases to the scales. Service manager posts are allocated to one of two starting points on the scale based on criteria including the number of full-time equivalent staff in the service; level of autonomy; service budget and number of young people in the service. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

YPI has in place adequate governance arrangements that enable the identification, escalation, monitoring and reporting of risks. The YPI Board is ultimately responsible for reviewing, challenging and approving the charity’s overall strategy and the direction of the business. 

We currently adopt five risk types which form the basis of YPI’s risk register and Board  reporting: 

- **Strategic:** refers to the risk that YPI suffers a substantial, negative impact in its funding or capital as a direct result of poor management of its business objectives, strategic aims and core services 

- **Financial:** refers to the risk that YPI is unable to self-fund, primarily due to a lack of financial donors whether new or existing and unforeseen operational losses, leading to a disruption to the charity's cash flows and balance sheet 

- **Operational:** refers to the risk of operational losses due to inadequate or weak processes and systems, including the charity's IT infrastructure. The risk also includes direct and indirect losses due to poor or ineffective oversight of internal controls and external influence 

- **People:** refers to the risk that YPI's key services are not delivered adequately due to a lack of people capability, skills and availability 

- **Reputational:** refers to the risk of YPI suffering a material loss or reputational damage, most likely in the form of simultaneous withdrawals of funding, caused by a negative perception of its image and working practices 

A risk register is reviewed and updated regularly and discussed at Board meetings. These are risks to the charity with the potential to damage its reputation and existing stakeholder relationships, preventing the business from running successfully thus ultimately impacting on YPI’s ability to undertake its compliance monitoring activities effectively.

## **Notes on Reserves Policy** 

The general reserve level held at 31[st] March 2021 stands at £108,167, which equates to 8 months’ expenditure.
