Trustees Report (Including Directors' Report)

For the Year Ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2025, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their annual accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).

1. Business Description

The Windfall Centre is a charity providing the services of trained and experienced professionals supporting the emotional health, welfare and development of children and families. We provide therapeutic support through a variety of proven therapy interventions for children and young people suffering distress arising from trauma, abuse or adversity. We also provide training and consultancy, and supervision to other practicing Play Therapists.

1.1 History of Business Development

The Windfall Centre was started as a private not-for-profit business in 2011, by one present and one former therapist, who identified a need for these services in Mid Wales. The business has grown significantly in recent years and became a registered charity in 2016. The therapeutic team has expanded from an initial two therapists, to seven, allowing the service to expand geographically as well as including additional expertise. It now has 4 associate therapists.

1.2 Located first in Llandrindod Wells, the Centre initially provided services for children and families in Powys but, due to increased demand, is now also active in South and West Wales as well. Therapeutic programmes have developed and now include Play Therapy, Filial Therapy and Art psychotherapy. The Nurturing Families Programme draws on Filial Therapy to support caregivers and young children to strengthen the caregiver relationship and promote secure attachment.

2. Our Purpose and Values

The purposes of The Windfall Centre are to:

2.1 Our Aspiration and Values

We aim to be the leading non-statutory provider of Play Therapy and related therapeutic interventions for children and young people in the areas we serve; which currently include Powys and South and West Wales.

2.2 The Windfall Centre is founded on the passionate belief in the right of all children and young people to develop to their full potential and where that development needs a helping hand, they are entitled to the highest professional service.

2.3 We base our philosophy in the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child and especially Article 3 which states that every organisation involved with children should work towards what is best for each child. Our vision accords with the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015. Our Safeguarding policy and procedures similarly conform to the Safeguarding Procedures Wales 2020.

4. Business Structure

The Windfall Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee with a board of directors who also act as Trustees of the charity. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 2016. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

4.1 Management of the Service

The day-to-day management of the service is divided between Directors, each having oversight of a specific area of infrastructure and process. All the therapists operate on a self-employed basis, being paid according to face-to-face therapy hours, and occasional meetings. The Windfall Centre employs an accountancy firm to handle invoicing and the preparation of accounts.

4.2 The Windfall Centre Premises

The Windfall Centre sessions are held at satellite clinics across mid and south Wales, with the main hub now located in Lower Chapel, Powys. All clinic premises are welcoming, informal, comfortable and discreet. The playrooms are spacious, well equipped, light and airy. All the premises used by The Windfall Centre are carefully assessed as to health and safety, ease of access and lone working considerations. A wide range of toys and equipment is available at each location.

5. Therapeutic programmes

The main therapeutic programmes we offer are non-directive Play Therapy and Filial Therapy and we anticipate that these will continue to form the core of our service. Programmes are offered following an Intake meeting with parents/carers and/or referring professionals. Play therapy programmes usually comprise 20 to 30 weekly sessions plus at least 2 parent/carer reviews. Filial therapy programmes are shorter at 16 weeks.

5.1 Play therapy is an acknowledged intervention for children ranging from those who are struggling emotionally to those at risk of deteriorating mental health. It has proved very effective for children with behavioural or other social difficulties and for those trying to cope with major life events such as bereavement, loss or family breakdown. It is a valuable therapeutic tool for children who have suffered major trauma or abuse, eg; children who are looked after. It can particularly help those with learning or communication difficulties or for whom English is not a first language. Through play and the therapeutic relationship, children can invite an insight into their emotional world, work through traumatic experiences, explore solutions to dilemmas and master their emotions and thoughts.

5.2 Filial therapy is a unique therapeutic model, evolved from play therapy, which strives to enhance the child-parent relationship by empowering the carer with new ways to interact with the child. Following instruction and supportive supervision by an experienced therapist, caregivers can then act directly as therapeutic support to their child. This model can be especially valuable to foster and adoptive parents by enhancing the child-carer attachment relationship.

5.3 The Nurturing Families Programme draws on Filial Therapy to support parents and carers and their children to fortify family relationships and promote secure attachment. The programme has been funded by The National Lottery for a period of three year from 2022 and with extension to February,2026.

5.4 Commissioners

Referrals to our service are purchased by commissioners on an individual basis. Our main commissioners are:

Trustees Report (Including Directors' Report)

For the Year Ended 31 March 2025

6. What makes The Windfall Centre special?

6.1 Our Therapists

All the associate Play and Filial therapists are registered with the British Association of Play Therapists and accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. They are all qualified to Masters’ level and have all undergone their own therapy as is expected for this high level of training. All have wide prior experience working with children and young people in a variety of contexts. In addition to their therapeutic knowledge, the theoretical underpinnings of the team’s approach include a clear and nuanced understanding of Attachment theory and neurodevelopment, especially the effects of abuse and early trauma on the developing brain and the child’s emotional development. This draws on the work of acknowledged experts such as Bessel Van der Kolk and Bruce Perry amongst many others.

6.2 A Team Approach

In contrast to many independent play therapists, child psychotherapists or psychologists working alone in private practice, our staff are a close-knit and cohesive team with a shared ethos in supporting the emotional health of children and families in our areas. In addition to regular supervision and continuing professional development, the therapeutic team meets regularly to share knowledge, experience and practice issues. This builds a consistency of practice and shared skills, without limiting the individual therapist’s own style.

6.3 Evaluation

Evaluation is at the core of our work, and we seek creative ways to make this meaningful to our service provision and development. Therapists employ an internal ‘Therapeutic Progress Measure’ compiled and rated together with parents/carers to measure progress throughout the programme. Shortly after the end of a programme of therapy parents/carers and the child are invited to give feedback on their experience.

6.4 Value for money

We believe that access to our services and to the professional knowledge of our staff should be as easy as possible. We have a sliding scale of fees for private referrals and offer a free initial Intake meeting for these referrals. This is an opportunity for parents/carers to think together with two therapists to better understand the needs of the child and what might be contributing to the child’s difficulties. We automatically offer support and consultation to the foster carers we work with and to the referring social workers, as well as working closely with school staff where necessary.

6.5 Public Benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. At the end of each programme of therapy, both parents and children are invited to evaluate their experience. The evaluations received have been overwhelmingly positive and illustrate the public benefit of our service. Considering the wider public benefit, the Trustees also recognise that addressing early trauma and adversity can have a later effect in reducing anti-social behaviour and contributing to safer communities as well as building individual resilience.

6.6 Additionally, the training, consultation and delivery of seminars and conferences undertaken by our staff, contributes to the professional development of many allied professionals in the wider professional environment with a hoped for knock-on beneficial effect on other services.

7. Client Profile

7.1 Children and young people who are experiencing difficulties that could be related to their mental health are usually first identified within Tier 1 services, for example by a teacher, GP or health visitor. Similarly, parents/carers who identify their child as experiencing difficulties will usually first seek help from services at that level. Four tiers comprise the NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health service (CAMHS). Children and young people with an identified need may be subsequently referred into specialist CAMH services (falling within Tiers 2–4) for assessment and intervention if necessary. The therapeutic services offered by The Windfall Centre fall within Tier 2 and Tier 3.

7.2 Tier 2 practitioners offer consultation to families and other practitioners. They identify severe or complex needs requiring more specialist intervention, assessment (which may lead to treatment at a different tier), and training to practitioners at Tier 1 level. Practitioners at Tier 3 provide a service for children and young people with more severe, complex and persistent disorders. Practitioners include:

THE WINDFALL CENTRE LIMITED

Trustees Report (Including Directors' Report)

For the Year Ended 31 March 2025

8.3 As previously indicated, The Windfall Centre works with children when they and/or their parents may be struggling with life events such as divorce or family reconstitution or, at the other end of the spectrum, children who have suffered extremes of abuse and neglect and are severely traumatised. Despite their circumstances these children do not usually reach the threshold for a service from CAMHS. A skilled therapeutic intervention and close working with other professionals is essential in these cases, which often include children who are looked after and adopted. This helps to prevent placement disruption and children’s experience of multiple placements within the care system.

8. Financial Situation and Risk management

8.1 The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces, the establishment of policies, systems, and procedures to mitigate those risks and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. The financial sustainability is a potential risk for the charity, as it is for so many.

8.2 Attention has also been focused on non-financial risks such as the health and safety of therapists and children and families using the clinics. Paramount among these is safeguarding children and young people from risk of abuse, neglect or professional misconduct. They also include the physical safety of staff and clients as well as professional lone working. These risks are managed by ensuring a robust policy and procedure is in place, and regular awareness training for staff and trustees.

8.3 The Windfall Centre is currently receiving income from services purchased by Local Authorities including Powys County Council, Swansea Council and Carmarthenshire Council. Additionally, self-referrals are funded by parents and carers with the help of grant funding.

8.4 The funding from Local Authorities leaves us exposed to the vagaries of social services budgets which are themselves dependent on the wider economic climate. A significant drop in referrals could leave The Windfall Centre struggling to survive. It is a cruel irony that when public sector budgets are being drastically cut, the services the Windfall Centre provides are more needed than ever.

8.5 Secondly, it is apparent that many more children could benefit from the services we offer, often as an early intervention, but the funds for this are not available. Few parents can self-fund and The Windfall Centre aims to help in this area by applying for grant funding to raise money for therapeutic support.

8.6 Thirdly, out of necessity, we keep our fees to the statutory services as low as is viable in recognition of the constraints on budgets.

8.7 The Trustees have addressed these risks by consistently working to ensure core grant funding as well as funding for initiatives. This work is guided by a fundraising strategy.

8.8 This is our ninth year as an established charity and the figures for the year-end financial situation can be seen at the bottom of the balance sheet attached.

8.9 The SWOT analysis below allows a concise view of the internal and external factors pertinent to The Windfall Centre.

9. Marketing

Many of the referrals to our service are purchased by commissioners, mostly local authorities, on an individual basis, so the need for the kind of marketing required by manufacturing or commercial service businesses does not arise. Instead, The Windfall Centre undertakes marketing initiatives by targeting influencers and a wide range of local authority, health care and other professionals to persuade them of the benefits of referring children and young people to The Windfall Centre for therapy. The aim of our marketing activity is to promote The Windfall Centre as a centre of excellence in the provision of play therapy and related interventions in the areas we serve which include Powys and South and West Wales. We currently employ the following marketing tools:

9.1 Website. The Windfall Centre website gives a clear indication of the range of therapeutic interventions available from Windfall, demonstrates how they work and how to access them. The site is regularly updated as new information and new programs become available. www.windfallcentre.co.uk

9.2 Leaflets. There is an individual leaflet available for each therapeutic programme provided by The Windfall Centre, replicating information published on the website.

9.3 Conferences and Training. The Windfall Centre has delivered two very successful conference for professionals in the fields of social care and children’s mental health, and more would be welcomed. Key note speakers invited to participate included some of the most respected and best-known practitioners in their fields of expertise. At each event, delegates got ample opportunity to meet our therapists and learn about the work of The Windfall Centre. We

continually delivery training to professionals and families in subjects that include Attachment, Therapeutic Play and Trauma.

9.4 Social Media. The Windfall Centre maintains a Facebook page and LinkedIn Page with a new blog added in July 2022 to the new website.

12.5 Community Events. Where indicated, The Windfall Centre personnel provide an active presence at targeted events within the local communities they serve, especially where this might contribute to fundraising.

13. Conclusion

Wales NHS estimates more than 40% of young people in Wales, show risk factors for adverse mental health, 30-40% may at some time experience a problem and up to 25% may have a recognisable disorder. The former Children’s Commissioner for Wales, Sally Holland, found in her consultations across Wales that children's and young people’s mental and emotional health was the most pressing concern for them. Additionally, in their first report, the Welsh Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) and Resilience Study, conducted by Public Health Wales and Bangor University (2018) focussed on mental illness. From their survey of adults in Wales, they identified how individuals who suffered ACEs were at significantly increased risk of mental illness. Compared with people with no ACEs, those reporting four or more were over 3 times more likely to report current mental illness, six times more likely to report lifetime mental illness and nine times more likely to report ever having felt suicidal. In addition to physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect, adverse childhood experiences include living in a family with domestic abuse, alcohol and drug related problems and parental mental ill-health. With a highly skilled team and a committed Trustee group, the Windfall Centre is well placed to expand its therapeutic services and reach more children and young people struggling with many difficult emotional issues.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Windfall Centre Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Bron Yr Eglwys, Lower Chapel, Brecon, Powys, LD3 9RE, Wales.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance Computers 20% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
