## **INTRODUCING PREGNANCY CENTRES NETWORK (PCN)**
PCN was set up in 2014 in response to a request from representatives of numerous independent pregnancy centres operating with a Christian ethos. We are currently in touch with over 75 centres. PCN was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in November 2015.
PCN is run by a board of Trustees, united with a passion to increase the support available to those facing unplanned pregnancy and pregnancy loss concerns, and to young people and vulnerable adults making vital decisions regarding sex and relationships. Between us we combine relevant professional expertise and many years of experience working in this field.
## **PCN Vision**
…is that no-one in the UK has to face unintended pregnancy, abortion, or other pregnancy loss alone and that teenagers and vulnerable adults are empowered to make healthy decisions about relationships and sex.
## **PCN Mission**
…is to resource local pregnancy centres working to relieve psychological, emotional, and spiritual distress related to unplanned pregnancy, post abortion issues or other pregnancy/child loss by:
1. Assisting and encouraging pregnancy centres to maintain best practice in their non-directive work of supporting those facing unplanned pregnancy, struggling after abortion or with pregnancy/child loss concerns with care and compassion based on Christian principles.
2. Supporting centres in raising their profile locally and online to increase their reach.
3. Providing foundational accredited training which is relevant and accessible to independent crisis pregnancy centres regardless of size or location, thereby increasing resilience and availability of high professional standards in independent, counselling support.
## **To realise our mission, PCN will:**
- Organise regular national conferences
- Foster regular regional events
- Support centres by providing accredited training and signposting to other appropriate resources · Disseminate relevant information and signpost resources including providing pregnancy choices training
- Provide spiritual encouragement and resources
- Provide/facilitate research opportunities
- Advocate and encourage best practice and good governance
- Provide communication links for individual centres
- Support provision of helpline and online services to individual clients
## **PCN Ethos**
PCN is a Christian-based organisation supporting pregnancy centres practising with a Christian ethos and therefore upholds principles of non-judgmentalism, compassion, care and respect derived from a Christian understanding. Recognising that abortion is a controversial issue that can provoke strong reactions, PCN’s purpose is to support centres in avoiding ideological polarisation and in offering compassion, information, and
2
practical support at the point of need. PCN and the centres it supports are not campaigning organisations, do not have a political agenda and are non-proselytising.
We uphold the following values:
- Importance of alleviating personal distress and suffering
- Respecting human rights and dignity
- Appreciating the variety of human experience and culture
- Respecting the rights of others to hold different beliefs and values

## **B. Statistics**
- 1 in 3 women will have an abortion by the age of 45 - -
- (https://www.bpas.org/abortion care/considering abortion/)
- 1 in 3 women would speak to their friends, and 62% would tell their sexual partner if they were considering having an abortion (https://www.msichoices.org/news-and-insights/news/2019/11/just-one-in-threewomen-would-tell-their-family-if-they-were-considering-abortion/)
- 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in miscarriage - - -
- (https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy information/im pregnant/early pregnancy/how-common-miscarriage)
- A third of domestic violence cases start or worsen during pregnancy (https://www.bestbeginnings.org.uk/domestic-abuse)
- Currently 45% of pregnancies and one third of births in England are unplanned or associated with feelings of ambivalence

- In a recent survey over 17% of women said they ended a wanted pregnancy because of concern about childcare costs. (https://pregnantthenscrewed.com/women-are-being-forced-to-terminatewanted-pregnancies-because-of-childcare-costs/ )
- During 2021 alone 214,256 women in England and Wales, and 13,758 women in Scotland ended a pregnancy (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/abortionstatistics-for-england-and-wales-2021/abortion-statistics-england-and-wales-

2021; https://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/termination-of-pregnancystatistics/termination-of-pregnancy-statistics-year-ending-december-2021/)
## **C. Research**
- Academy of Medical Royal Colleges research recommends _“support and care for all women who have an unwanted pregnancy because the risk of mental health problems increases whatever the pregnancy outcome_ .” ( -
- https://www.aomrc.org.uk/wp content/uploads/2016/05/Induced_Abortion_Mental_Health_1211.pdf)
## _**“My counsellor provided me an impartial space to unpick my thoughts and feelings ... It helped me arrive at my own decision and I felt empowered by the whole experience”**_
_**“It helped me work through the different emotions connected to my abortion, it gave me a safe space to talk about these. It has made me a more positive and confident person. I feel more secure in who I am. I don’t feel as sad and angry anymore.”**_
- Research links miscarriage with PTSD (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S000293781931369 9 ). Many centres test for depression and anxiety before and after support is offered, and tests routinely show a marked improvement following our pregnancy loss support.
## _**“I miscarried twins in the first week of lockdown and really struggled to come to terms with the loss. They helped me process the huge range of emotions that come with a loss like this…the pain does not overwhelm me anymore and I am happy with my life and grateful for what I do have.”**_
Many Centres work in schools or prisons or support the NHS in local hospitals. Following the need to pause during Covid, many centres were able to resume this work during 2021.
## **Strategic aims**
To achieve the strategic aim that that no woman is further than 20 miles from her nearest centre, three areas of engagement were identified – local centres, local churches, and local health providers.
## **The main activities related to these aims were as follows:**
## **1. Local centres:**
1. Engagement with centres by building relationship, assisting, and encouraging them to maintain best practice in their work with clients. Provision of an active updated website, monthly newsletter and annual conference is of paramount importance.
2. Supporting centres to be resilient, and to raise their profile locally and online so people find them.
3. Providing foundational accredited training which is relevant and accessible to independent crisis pregnancy centres regardless of size or location, thereby increasing resilience and availability of high professional standards in
6
independent, counselling support.
Six core projects were identified to progress over the 5 years 2018-23:
a) Building on the work currently undertaken by the Directors but strategizing the contacts, identifying regions and leaders, encouraging more centres to open
b) Continuing with the fundraising strategy
c) Building on the annual conference year by year
d) Develop resources in setting up a centre and supporting new and struggling centres
e) Scoping and writing accredited training courses – that encapsulate PCN ethos of professionalism in non-directive care combined with a sound understanding of a Christian theological basis to ensure integrity of delivery.
f) Appointing ambassadors especially among the next generation, to build relationship with churches
## **2. Local churches and local health providers. We planned to**
- Continue to make the most of any opportunity to engage with church leaders and leaders of relevant organisations which provide health care, with a view to raising the profile of the work of pregnancy centres.
- Forge strong links with Open and developed stronger links with ACC and PCUK
- Support centres to respond to national developments in health and social welfare, and within the third sector.
- Advocate for the work of the centres within secular and faith communities as appropriate when the opportunities arose.
- Continue our support for Northern Irish Church groups as they prepare to open four new centres there.
- Connect centres who have successfully engaged with local health providers enabling mutual support between centres.
- Connect centres with organisations whose work complements theirs.
## **Public benefit**
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. The trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
We provide public benefit by resourcing and equipping independent centres across the UK engaged in activities which advance education about sex and relationships, pregnancy and termination of pregnancy, and support anyone challenged by pregnancy crisis or loss. They do this by delivering sex and relationships education to young people in schools and youth clubs and providing support and information to clients experiencing pregnancy crisis and loss, including unplanned pregnancy, fetal abnormality, abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
7
Unplanned pregnancy, abortion and miscarriage are common experiences which can be hard to cope with alone and can be a mental health risk without appropriate support. Also, young people now face the challenge to navigate social media at the same time as sex and relationships.
Clients come to centres from all walks of life and from every ethnic background, including services provided in prisons.
Our support significantly impacts the ability of face-to-face workers in independent centres to set up and run resilient organisations while providing professional standards of non-directive care to clients. As the sole organisation which fulfils this role, we consider that we provide significant public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - OUTPUTS & OUTCOMES**
This is our sixth Annual Report, and we are so grateful to everyone who has given time, money, and professional advice during 2021 - 2022.
## **1. Local Centres:**
- We continued to support our family of centres to build best practice and resilience using newsletters and resources delivered through our website, including:
- Continuing help regarding GDPR, by offering resources and mentoring support for centres.
- Continuing provision of a Bursary Scheme to encourage resilience and best practice in centres that share our vision and mission.
- Progressing our six core projects:
## a. **Contact with centres and regions** –
- We continued support for 8 new centres during the process of opening.
- In person regional gatherings resumed, while online forums for centre leaders and trustees helped newly opened centres and existing centres to be resilient.
- The launch of our new website has increased the number of website enquiries from those who want to know more about our work and those interested in opening a new centre.
- Our Development Lead now engages with centres to encourage good practice and effective marketing, while raising their profile nationally within the Church and Healthcare communities through meetings and social media. Her Top-up Training provides highly popular continual professional development…
## _**“Clearly presented with helpful statistics and referral organisations. A lot was covered in the time, and the additional Q&A session was appreciated, thank you.”**_
## _**“It was brilliant. I especially appreciated the practical resources you led us to, which will be a great help.”**_
## _**“I love the idea of these top up CPD sessions”**_
## b. **Fundraising** -
- We appointed a Fundraising Development Lead who oversees our improved fundraising strategy.
- Sponsored events organised during the year raised over £17,000.
- Our total income increased by 52% to £81,663
8
- Obtaining free training from a qualified accountant through the Cranfield Trust to streamline our financial reporting, ensuring sound management of our finances while activities expand.
- c. **Annual Conference** :
- Our third annual week-end conference sold out in October 2021
## **d. Setting up a Centre resource:**
- 12 copies of this manual were bought by new or existing centres, as plans for opening 8 new centres progressed.
## **e. Accredited Training:**
- We established a team to roll out our accredited Crisis Pregnancy Practitioner Course and trained 33 new practitioners to support those facing unplanned pregnancy.
_**“…being able to offer support and know that it is still their freewill at the end of the day… has been such a valuable point for me to learn.”**_
_**“All the details about pregnancy choices and how to present the options to a client without being judgmental and being loving and compassionate so that a client can be ready to make an informed choice.”**_
## _**“I am now aware of my conversation style and the course has taught me so much about listening, responding and empathy.”**_
## _**“I have found learning to show compassion in a way, that doesn’t compromise my faith has been important and freeing.”**_
- We wrote “The Bowl”, a resource to support those struggling after experiencing a termination of pregnancy, and piloted training to use the resource.
_**“Prior to this course I had never worked with clients who needed support following a decision to terminate a pregnancy. At the time of writing this evaluation I have seen my first client…The course has given me an excellent insight into the problems and difficulties that clients may be struggling with, and my thinking has changed in that I know the postabortion experience is much more complex for women than I would have thought before the course.”**_
## _**“This course has given me more confidence to go through a post termination programme with a client”**_
- Both courses resource Christians working in pregnancy centres to offer effective professional standards of non-directive support to clients regardless of culture, faith background, or gender.
- **f. Ambassadors to Churches:** Trustees and staff have taken opportunities to engage with local church leaders as they arose.
## 2. **Local Churches and Local Health Providers**
9
- We continued to partner with “Open” to present the work to interested Church groups.
- We engaged with relevant developments in healthcare by responding to relevant research conducted by FaithAction, which convenes the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Faith and Society.
- We continued to monitor developments and contributions of the National Bereavement Care Pathway.
- We researched healthcare initiatives such as Social Prescribing and communicated findings with the centres.
- We made plans to exhibit in the Resource Hub at New Wine United Summer Conferences which re-convened following Covid in July 2022
All of the above have continued to establish the reputation and reach of PCN, enhancing our effectiveness as a catalyst to grow the family of independent crisis pregnancy centres, both in resilience and best practice and in numbers, throughout the UK.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
Pregnancy Centres Network is a Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and is governed by a constitution, which outlines the appointment of and powers of trustees, including the following:
## **Appointment of charity trustees**
(1) Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
(2) In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO
## **Number of charity trustees**
There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees or appoint a new charity trustee.
There is no maximum number of charity trustees that may be appointed to the CIO.
## **How this works out in practice**
The Board of Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The Trustees meet five times a year to review progress and make decisions on future developments. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are listed on page 3. New trustees are appointed by existing trustees of whom there should be a minimum of three. Trustees are selected for their individual skills, knowledge, and vision. New trustees are appropriately trained and inducted.
The management of the charity to date has been the direct responsibility of the Trustees. With the appointment of part time staff this will now devolve to the Directors, who will be responsible to the Board and will be assisted by the Administrator. Regular staff appraisals will facilitate good communication and goal setting for staff members.
## **Risk Policy**
The Trustees maintain a Risk Management policy which is reviewed at least annually.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
10
For the year ending 31 March 2022, total income received was £81,143 (FY21: £53,770). Individual giving during the year was £9,234 (FY21: £7,146).
We remain grateful for the donations we receive from centres and trusts that continue to support the work of PCN. We have received £17,253 during the year (FY21: £15,390), of which £7,690 was restricted (FY21: £500).
Various fundraising activities have been pursued by volunteers, staff, trustees, and those connected with the charity to raise money for funding of the development of training. These efforts have raised £14,195 (FY21: £11,695).
Total expenses for the year amounted to £89,795 (FY21: £42,596). The main category of expenses remains salary expenses of £56,999 (FY21: £29,289). Salary expenses include pay for the trainers who are delivering training courses.
Our net cost at the end of the year is £8,652 (FY21: net income £11,174) and available charity funds are £30,412 (FY21: £39,065) of which £19,524 is unrestricted (FY21: 21,186) and £10,888 is restricted (FY21: £17,879).
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be a minimum of 3 months of the resources expended to ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover support and governance costs. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event that funding initially increases more slowly than hoped.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
Our fully accredited training now empowers Christians to provide professional standards of free, confidential, non-directive counselling support to clients regardless of culture or gender. By addressing theological issues, trainees are supported to engage with their personal beliefs, thus ensuring that they can deliver non-directive care with integrity. During Covid we have learnt to provide online support to centres, while supporting them to safely provide online care for clients. By strengthening our infrastructure and financial base preparations are in place for expansion of our activities.
Following the retirement of Part-time Director Judy McGibbon at the end of April 2022, the number of hours in the week dedicated to this post has been expanded to enable sound management of a growing staff team and a growing charity.
Accordingly, plans for 2022-23 include:
- Supporting our new Director well, giving time for her to understand the role and the charity thoroughly and to establish systems that will undergird resilience as we grow.
- Further regular engagement with centres via the newsletter, forums, and visits. Ongoing website development, data collection surveys, the bursary, and mentoring where appropriate.
- Further encouragement of regional groups and support for their leaders.
- Continuing to model and promote good governance, safeguarding and GDPR compliance.
- Continuing a sound fundraising strategy with diverse income streams, while developing resources to help centres to raise their own funds.
- Running an annual conference in October 2022
11
- Rolling out PCN training widely both to existing centres and new groups.
- Growing engagement with churches and healthcare professionals, while supporting centres to do this locally.
- Analysing the donor journey to ensure that we look after all our donors and other supporters well.
- Growing our use of social media effectively, articulating our vision and mission clearly and unambiguously, and supporting the centres to grow their own social media profile safely.
## **COVID 19**
The vaccination programme has led to the possibility that gatherings are able to take place more reliably, so that we can begin to feel that we are through the worst of the pandemic. However, we have emerged to find ourselves in a society in which the rate of abortion has increased significantly. The decision to continue to allow women to obtain abortion medication following a telephone consultation and without a scan lays them open to the risk not only of aborting a pregnancy at a later than expected gestation, but also of coercion by family members to abort a wanted pregnancy. Thus, the need for independent non-directive support for individuals is greater than ever, although provision of this remains relatively scarce. Many Christians feel concerned about these issues but hesitate to address them publicly because they fear appearing judgemental. Hence the need for the pregnancy centres is now a matter of urgency.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Charity Commissioners require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of its surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue for the foreseeable future
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 Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” effective from January 2015. 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.
In determining how amounts are presented within items in the statement of financial activities and balance sheet, the Trustees must have regard to the substance of the reported transaction or arrangement, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or practice.
12
## **Independent examination**
The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed. The trustees have appointed Ronan Wade FCA as Independent Examiner for the period ended 31[st] March 2022.
Approved by the Board and signed on its behalf by
