Our strategy as a registered Charity remains to secure sufficient funding to enable the Charity to meet its objectives, which are: 3) The advancement of health or the saving of lives by relieving the mental and physical sickness and distress of persons in need in particular but not limited to the former by the provision of a counselling and psychotherapy support service 4) To further such charitable purposes for the public benefit as are wholly charitable according to t e laws of England and Wales as the trustees may from time to time determine We have again improved and updated our website to ensure what we do is clear and to highlight the good work we are able to carry out with the funding we receive. The Governing Document, a Constitution, was produced on the 11th January 2016, and amended on the 18th April 2018. Trustees carried out a review to identify whether the charity was reaching as many beneficiaries as possible and as a result decided to broaden the age range. Subsequently, changes were made to the charitable objects and submitted to the Charity Commission who produced a draft amendment, which Trustees agreed and was approved on the 18th April 2018. This has enabled the Charity to meet the changing needs of beneficiaries. The organisational structure is a Charitable Incorporated Company (CIO), granted charitable status and registered and regulated by the Charity Commission. We chose a CIO as a structure because it is a new form of charitable organization, only available from 2013 for non-profit organizations in the United Kingdom. As with a company, it has the benefits of incorporation, which is the creation of a 'legal personality, but does not need separate registration with companies House nor regulation under company Funded by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund LOTTEW Page I
law. Trustees have some protection as they have limited liability and any claim is made against the CIO rather than individual Trustees. The Charity is governed by a Chair of Trustees appointed on the 20th December 2022 and two first Trustees. A further new Trustee Linzi Swindon was appointed on 14th February 2024. Trustees bring a rich and varied experience to meeting INTERIM'S objectives and are dedicated to its success. Although the Trustees are legally responsible for all the activities of the Charity, Sally Floyd has delegated responsibility for the day to day running of the Charity. Sally is directly accountable to the trustees and attends trustee meetings. The current first Trustees were appointed on inception of the Charity on the 11th January 2016: Louise Webb- Trustee Juliette Gafsen - Trustee Governance remains strong and under the 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) we remain committed to safeguarding privacy and protecting the personal information provided. A comprehensive set of policies and procedures govern the Charity with safeguarding a strength of the Charity. There are formal procedures for the recruitment and appointment of Trustees and the Charity has a formal induction and training policy and procedure. Trustees are very aware of their responsibilities and decision making is jointly carried out during Trustee meetings. Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidan on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties. They have the necessary skills and experience to ensure the Charity is efficient and professionally administered, acting with care and awareness of their duty to avoid conflicts of Interest and personal benefit.

The accounts and financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the following: The Charity's governing document; Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice The Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE) The Charities Act 2022 UK Generally Accepted Practice insofar as they apply to the Charity and its Trustees, Annual Report & Financial Statements The Charity has £2,000 in reserves and there is a reserves policy in place. It is because as a small charity to obtain unrestricted funds. It would be transformational to be able to secure additional unrestricted funds. It is to this end that trustees continue to work to diversify income streams and to establish an effective and sustainable fundraising path. There are no designated funds or material funds and materially the Charity is not in deficit. Trustees have reviewed the risks that the charity faces. The main risk is that there is insufficient income to cover expenditure. Since expenditure is almost entirely related to counselling and psychotherapy sessions and room rental, which do not go ahead without funding being in place or for which clients pay, this is considered a low risk. However, not having unrestricted funds is a risk. Risks are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Achievements and Performance of the Charity during the year in relation to its objects: Trustees have overseen a number of funding applications and are aware of the unrelenting need to develop a mixed and more diverse income stream. We have provided sessions to approximately 30 families this year. LOTTE LOTTERY FUNDED Page 3

The Charity is also receiving return referrals from a range of sources linked to advertising and through word of mouth. Future plans Going forward, the charity will carry on its counselling and psychotherapy activities and continue to pursue a more diverse mix of funding. The charity remains in discussion with a number of different funders with a view to securing further funding. The Charity will continue drawing on the findings from the experiences of beneficiaries, since these individuals know the challenges, they face better than anyone and our findings suggest better understanding of those challenges, (mental health and related physical conditions) and better self-management resources (know-how, skills, confidence) to manage their condition, will play a part in what the future looks like regarding health and illness. Therefore, it seems, developing changes that promote improved mental and physical health, that are credible, usable and effective, not only support the individuals involved and their families, but may bring closer alignment with the local community for the longer term.

The Charity knows that not only is it important to work with individuals already suffering with a mental health condition but to identify those at higher risk of developing mental health problems, such as isolated people and those who already have a long-term health condition. The Charity has assessed what is available in the community and continue building onto available communty resources. Regarding design. development and delNery, the Charity will work to demonstrate to produce a desired outcome for beneficiaries. The Charity is engaging with new stskeholders all the time and knows there is a need for its activities and what is needed. We have appropriately considered aspects of diversty to ensure the Charity meets the needs of beneficiaries and we have and will continue to monitor the impact of interventions, which are flexible enough to adapt ff required. The Charity carefully considers context and knows interventions need to be robust to take account of the many competing external influences and so as not to waste resources. money and effort.
