TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are:

(a) To advance the relief of mental illness for the benefit of children and adults in the United Kingdom and abroad.
(b) To advance the education of psychotherapists, counsellors and other workers and of the general public in the practice of psychodynamic counselling in organisational settings for the benefit of the general population of the United Kingdom and abroad and in particular for those children and adults directly affected by such practice and counselling.
(c) To advance the education of the public in the part that psychodynamic counselling in an organisational setting can play in counteracting mental ill health and distress in individuals
(d) To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded by reason of mental ill health and distress by promoting and improving psychodynamic practice and counselling within organisational settings.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake

Achievements and Performance

In furtherance of these aims we have developed:

Resources available to the Public

1) We have established a free interactive website - psychodynamicthinking.info - which provides a virtual community for our members and interested members of the public; currently there are over 700 registered users. Users include social workers, teachers, youth workers and foster carers, as well as counsellors, psychologists and psychotherapists.

As well as being open to our own members the site acts as a base for institutions running courses that we accredit and a base for them to communicate to the wider public. These include Essex University, The Mulberry Bush, The Oxford Parent Infant Project (OxPip), Placement Support and many others.

The website provides information and learning events for members of the public and also confidential rooms for webinars and discussion groups, facilities for posting articles and videos, and information and learning events.

During the year the Association continued to run approved CPD webinars and a number of free discussion groups, as well as a free Conference for all Site Users. Go to our website for further information on discussion groups and further information on webinars.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

2) We have set up a free library (https://www.psychodynamicthinking.info/group/library) on the Site for articles donated to us by senior clinicians and papers written by members.
3) We accredit trainings all over the country. Not only does this validate the quality of the training but it gives their graduates support and a pathway to professional registration as a psychodynamic organisational therapist with the British Psychoanalytic Council, and continuing professional development and mentoring should they wish it.

We are particularly interested in spreading psychodynamic knowledge into areas and communities where it has previously been absent or where engagement has been low. In furtherance of this we are currently accrediting a course for religious leaders and ministers in a minority community, including separate men’s and women’s groups, and on the interactive site a series of webinars and discussion groups on the significance of racial and cultural divisions and on systemic racism. We also accredit - amongst other trainings - trainings for teachers and teaching assistants, trainings for social workers working with foster carers and fostered children, for voluntary agencies working with vulnerable families and for youth workers working with young people vulnerable to gang affiliation. We provide support for clinicians working within prisons, and with traumatised army personnel, and with adult CSE survivors.

Through our policy of meeting termly with the leaders of all our trainings, our partner and affiliate organisations, we maintain a close relationship with all the external organisations whose courses we accredit - such as the Mulberry Bush, TCTO (Essex University) and Placement Support.

Graduates from these trainings join us as members and can complete their portfolios for assessment and accreditation as Psychodynamic Organisational Therapists registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (the BPC) which is in turn registered with the PSA; this qualification attests to the high level of expertise in psychological understanding that they are able to bring to their work with vulnerable clients within their core professional settings.

4) With the support of the BPC we have this year continued our training in individual Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, for graduates who wish to train to work individually and at greater depth with adults and young people with complex mental health difficulties. We are due an Accreditation Visit by the BPC early in 2024, when we hope that this training will be formally accepted.
5) We are currently commencing our offer of online therapeutic services for young people, adults and families, to which members of the public can self-refer. These services are being offered by teams of qualified members, and also by psychodynamic psychotherapy trainees under clinical supervision. We are currently recruiting a multi-disciplinary team to provide an additional layer of clinical governance. Trainees on our Psychodynamic Psychotherapy are already taking on a small number of cases, and we hope to grow this service exponentially over time.
6) We have commenced a series of free Panel Discussion meetings, where members of the public can bring queries and concerns about mental health.

Resources for the development of Psychodynamic Organisational Therapists – our Members

1) We have established a set of procedures for evaluating the level of expertise of candidates for membership and have established a register of members at three levels: Full Members; Senior

Page 3

THE ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHODYNAMIC PRACTICE AND COUNSELLING IN ORGANISATIONAL SETTINGS (BY GUARANTEE)

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Associate Members and Associate Members.

There is now a pathway of portfolio training accredited by the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) leading to eligibility for full membership of APPCIOS and registration in the BPC’s approved register as Psychodynamic Organisational Therapists; this is referred to as the Psychodynamic Organisational Therapy (POT) training.

2) We have developed an infrastructure to mentor members and to assist their learning;
3)
We have a series of approved CPD webinars run by our full members;
4) We have protocols to accredit and support external courses and trainings, and to assist our members in developing such trainings;
5) As well as the Psychodynamic Organisational Therapy training we are developing a ‘top-up’ training for full members leading to qualification as Psychodynamic Psychotherapists; this is being developed in consultation with the BPC and we hope that graduates will be eligible for registration under this title in the BPC’s approved register; this is referred to in our organisational structure as the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Training (PPT).
6) The following are accounts of their training and work by APPCIOS members:

‘For my organisation, working with the impact of youth violence in the frontline, APPCIOS is a life-raft. If I am the person developing and supporting the people who develop and support the people, then APPCIOS is the person who develops and supports me .' (APPCIOS member and trainer working in serious youth violence sector)

'Training under AJEEH, under the APPCIOS umbrella has been immensely meaningful because it allows me to access high-level professional training that I would have had no way of joining otherwise, due to cultural considerations. Additionally, I feel secure in the knowledge that the training is tailor-made with my future career in mind, by focusing so comprehensively on the community which I am part of and will practice in. I am confident I will be well equipped professionally in a way that no other training path I explored could offer’ (APPCIOS accredited training participant)

'Training with Susanna Reisz and Deborah Marks has been a great experience for me. In addition to having a significant influence on how I conduct myself at work, it has also affected my personal dayto-day life with my own children. Furthermore, I really enjoy participating in the reflective practice group discussions that my training offers' (APPCIOS accredited training participant)

7) With the support of the BPC we are exploring the possibility of creating additional modules to equip our Senior Associate Members to register with them as Psychodynamic Counsellors qualified to work in private practice.

The number of our members has grown over the last year;

Full Members who are eligible for membership of the British Psychoanalytic Council and inclusion in their approved register; we currently have 93 full members, an increase from 88 in February ’22.

Page 4

THE ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHODYNAMIC PRACTICE AND COUNSELLING IN ORGANISATIONAL SETTINGS (BY GUARANTEE)

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Senior Associates (SAMs); we currently have 66 SAMs, an increase from 63 in February ’22.

Associate Members (AMs); the importance and numbers of Associates has reduced due to the free access to the Community Site.

This brings our Full and Senior Associate membership total to 159 - an increase of 8 from the total (151) in February ’22. This number does not include the participants in the many accredited short courses and longer trainings run by our partner and affiliate organisations - we estimate that these number a further five hundred.

Conferences and Public Meetings

We hosted our first free online conference in March 2021, which was well attended and a great success.
We held a second free conference in May 2022, and a third in September 2023.
We provide a free termly newsletter to all members and subscribers.
We will be holding a series of public meetings in 2023/4 for members and subscribers to the interactive site.

The Association's aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further. We review our aims, objectives and activities continually through regular management group meetings, reports to the trustees, quarterly trustees meetings, and by newsletters distributed to members and interested parties, and by joint strategy meetings between the trustees and the management committee.

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. In particular, our emphasis on the support, education and up-skilling of frontline staff working with vulnerable client groups is furthered by the facilitation of webinars to contribute to the continuing professional education of our members; and by the provision of mentors who are able to guide Associate Members and Senior Associate Members on the path to full membership.

Financial Review

Principal Funding Sources

Our principal core funding source was previously and for most of our history the subscriptions paid by members which in this period raised £6,399. We expect this to rise to £8,800 in the year 2023-2024.

Accreditation fees are £19,604 and have now become the dominant source of our funding.

Our income from a percentage of individual webinars and miscellaneous sources is approximately £1,240. This has doubled from last year as we have developed more independent items as well as CPD webinars increasing along with our accredited courses.

Page 5

THE ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHODYNAMIC PRACTICE AND COUNSELLING IN ORGANISATIONAL SETTINGS (BY GUARANTEE)

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

This year we had an excess of £5,923 and our reserves stood at £33,601. Next year we expect a deficit of £2,325.

Previous Grant funding (historical) - The Lapid Trust

APPCIOS is grateful to the Lapid Trust. In 2014 we received our first charitable grant. This was a donation of £15,000 from the Lapid Trust, to provide administrative support for APPCIOS. This was at the point when we were beginning our development. We used some of this donation to employ two temporary administrators to help us clarify our protocols and to set up administrative systems. We subsequently created a post for a Registrar/Membership Secretary to be employed part-time for three years.

Previous Grant funding (historical) – St Pancras House Friends

APPCIOS is grateful to St. Pancras House Friends for the grant of £8,877 made in July 2017 and used over three years to develop our website www.appcios.info.

This year we made an application in concert with a freelance fundraiser to the National Lottery Fund to fund our new project of low cost online therapeutic services, and to assist in providing remuneration for our senior officers. This was unsuccessful and possibly misconceived and we are currently reviewing our fundraising strategy.

Liabilities

We pay for administration from two agencies, principally Timewise Virtual. The website and community site are serviced by Think-Net. As the administration and webmaster are provided by third parties (Think-Net, Timewise Virtual etc.), APPCIOS is a company with very few financial liabilities.

Last year we said, “In addition, the trustees believe APPCIOS needs stronger administrative and management support as it grows and moves into new areas of work. So we wish to provide remuneration to our senior officers for some of the many hours a week that they contribute to administration.” We now have four paid members contributing to the management of the charity.

We operate entirely online, and do not own or rent premises.

Designating funds for future development.

The trustees, as part of their strategy to expand the reach and size of APPCIOS, have deliberately built up reserves.

Last year we set aside the following: For remuneration for three senior officers for approximately 10 hours per week in total - £12,600. These officers are now in place.

As part of this development, we wish to start on-line therapeutic services to provide nominal or low-cost online psychotherapy for families, young people and adults in need of assistance. While much of the work for establishing this service will be undertaken by volunteers, we will need to remunerate an independent administrator. We now have this administrator who is starting working at half the designated hours at a current cost of £5,040.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

We also budgeted to provide monies to design and build a secure website platform for the use of clients and clinicians, where confidential client data can be securely stored and accessed by our multi-disciplinary clinical team. As the project has developed our plans have changed and this project has been held for the time being. This year we intend to further develop our community site and migrate our main website onto the same platform. A sum of £5,000 has been set aside for this.

Reserves of £21,440 were allocated in May 2022. £17,600 of these have been spent.

We allocated an outlay of £1,800 for a new freelance fundraiser which has not been spent. This was due to revising our fundraising strategy (see above).

2023-2024

Over the next year we will designate part of the reserves as follows:

a) £5,000 for expanding the planning and administration of therapeutic services. This is based on a cost of around 4 hours per week.
b) £5,000 to bring our Community site up to date and migrate our outward facing website.
c) £2,500 for a freelance fundraiser.
d) £5,000 to replace our current volunteer treasurer.
e) £3,000 to cover the anticipated shortfall in the 2023-2024 accounts.
f) £5,000 as potential closure costs.

Total designated funds amount to £25,500.

Reserves

The first duty of the trustee directors is to ensure that the company is solvent. Given that duty, excess reserves need to be used for the purposes of the charity.

Designated funds amount to £25,500.

Expenses for the previous full year 2021-2022 were £21,018 and it is our expectation that, given that we have additional costs for the remuneration of senior officers and towards the expenses of the planned online therapeutic services, expenses in 2023-2024 will rise to £26,020.

The trustees believe we can continue with the current reserves policy of maintaining a reserve of between three and six months of projected expenses – that is between £6,500 and £13,000. There is currently approximately £12,161 in undesignated funds.

Given that APPCIOS has no pension, redundancy or other potential expenses and is insured, the trustees believe this to be a prudent amount to keep as a reserve for the next financial year.

The reserves are judged sufficient and not excessive.

Structure, Governance and Management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 16 May 2012 and registered as a charity on 21 June 2016. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. .

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Dr R Banks (from 5 May 2023) Professor R D Hinshelwood Dr J E Strivens Professor J Trowell S A Vaudrey

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. No expenses were reclaimed from the charity during the accounting period.

The board of trustees combines skills of psychotherapy, public policy, social work, business and educational practice. This year we welcomed Dr Roger Banks as a trustee.

We are attempting to widen our trustee membership through personal recommendations. In particular we are seeking one or more corporate trustees.

Organisational Structure

APPCIOS is governed by its trustees, a CEO and a management committee of Heads of Departments who meet fortnightly. The CEO reports to and liaises with the Trustees. The trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity and the CEO with the Heads of Departments are responsible for its day to day running. At present there are five departments.

The charity may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to act to be a trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee and may also determine the rotation in which any additional trustees are to retire.

The number of trustees shall not be less than three but there is no maximum number.

None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute a maximum of £10 in the event of a winding up. Currently the Trustees meet three times a year with the CEO and hold an additional joint meeting with the CEO and management committee. The Secretary sits in on meetings of the trustees but has no voting rights.

Risk Management

The trustees have appointed a Professional Standards Committee and an Ethics Sub-Committee, which together review the protocols through which the charity is governed. They are also responsible for a Steering Committee that oversees the development and progress of the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy training and the associated online clinic. An equivalent steering committee to oversee the Psychodynamic Organisational Therapy training has been established.

The charity is exposed to various risks be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. The risk register is updated three- monthly and considered at each Trustees meeting.

THE ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHODYNAMIC PRACTICE AND COUNSELLING IN ORGANISATIONAL SETTINGS INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR PSYCHODYNAMIC PRACTICE AND COUNSELLING IN ORGANISATIONAL SETTINGS

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Association for Psychodynamic Practice and Counselling in Organisational Settings (the charity) for the period ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
