Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year
Now in its eighth
financial
year, the team has stayed at the same number
as last year,
one
full time and
eight part time therapists.
From 1" July
2022 until the 30" June 2023, 114 clients
have been seen (12 primary
school age, 24 secondary
school age, 72 aged over 18,4 couples and 2
Parents
& Infants).
There
has
been
an
increase
in the
number
of
individuals
aged
18 and
over
using
the
service,
as
well as a slight
increase
in couples being counselled,
1,436 counselling/therapy
sessions
were provided
over the year.
Out ofthe 122 clients using our service this year, 63 satisfactorily
worked
through
the issues
that
they
wanted
to and as a consequence
have
ended their therapy. The referrals
were
all direct self-referrals
from those
who
either
heard
about
the service
through
word
of mouth
or from an
internet search.
The call on our bursary
fund this year has been f20,124.
22 individuals
have received
clinical supervision
through
the charity
this
year.
This
has
taken
place
either
fortnightly,
monthly,
six weekly
or
quarterly.
The
individuals
make
up
trainee
counsellors
and
qualified
counsellors
(both for charities
and
in private
practice)
and professionals
who work
in a charity
setting
with vulnerable
children
and adults. There
has been a slight reduction
in the number ofpeople being supervised
this
year, so that the Managing
Director could free
up time for management
duties.

This year we have helped
teach about suicide
to counsellors
via Zoom,
partnering
with a counselling
training
company
called Deep Release. We
also delivered
a training
day via Zoom for Spurgeons
in Tunbridge
Wells,
on working
with
self-injury.
We are
planning
to work
with
Spurgeons
further
next
year.
In
addition
to
this,
in
June
2023, we
began
a
partnership
with
David
Ridell
Memorial
CIO, and
will deliver
training
to
secondary
school staff on the subject ofsuicide.
Also this year our Art Therapist
delivered
a 5 week course on 'Restoring
Calm' to a group of adults, designed
to help them cope with symptoms
of
anxiety
and depression.
This was well received
and the charity
hopes to
run a similar course a ain next
ear.
The charity's
policy, set by the trustees,
is to keep 3 months

There has been a change
of bookkeeper
this financial
year, so that the
charity
could receive further
admin
assistance
than was being
provided.
Prior
to the changeover
of bookkeeper,
the
charity's
IT team
set
up
Teams to assist the bookkeeper
and
make the therapist
logs easier to
manage. This has been a huge success.
Due to the
grants
received

the
confidence
the
trustees
have
in
the
Managing
Director
and
the
organisational
structure
which
they
have
put
in place, the trustees
are
confident that the charity
will continue
to grow and thrive next year.
