Achievements and perfomiance Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charitvs work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. 1~2-1 has fulfilled its aim of providing affordable counselling to the general public in the city of York. The number of clients we have seen is up compared to last year, more than 200 clients used the service this year. More clients attended face to face sessions this year, but there is still a demand for telephone appointments. We successfully applied for 3 funding grants this year totalling £8000. This enabled us to increase the number of sessions available at the Quaker Meeting House. This is used by disabled clients and those that need an evening appointment. The demand for these sessions is high. The high demand for our services meant that we had to close our waiting list for a short time this year.
