Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
The board of Trustees meet once a month with the organisation manager to direct the management and governance of the Counselling Hub Charity. This includes matters relating to health and safety, finance, risks, maintenance, staff, volunteers, activities, marketing, compliance with regulations, grants and the development of the business.
Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the CIO are to protect and promote the mental and emotional health of the general public by the provision of a safe and affordable counselling service.
Public benefit
The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The Trustees remain committed to equal opportunities for all.
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
Since the COVID-19 pandemic we have enhanced our existing mental health support and activities to be transitional between in person and remote practice, offering a hybrid service is proving to be very beneficial with a much greater logistical outreach. We have had a 50% increase in demand. Staff and volunteers have been trained inline with the necessary changes. We follow business continuity, risk assessment, health and safety and government COVID-19 measures.
Also, in response to local outcry and increased referrals, we have started delivering food goods, donated by our local supermarkets, to our most vulnerable families and individuals that are socially isolating and unable to access or afford. We coordinate our responses for community delivery parcels through telephone methods; for most people, we are the only contact they have. We use this contact opportunity to provide additional mental health support. Last year we directly helped 355 (new) members and their extended families. Current upscale services; this is likely to be more than double if demand runs at the current rate. We use equal opportunities monitoring forms to evaluate outcomes and hold regular trustee meetings to review and work on SMART and SWOT analysis. We have shelves in our shop where people in financial distress can come and collect food goods.
We run a suicide prevention, self-harm and depression management drop-in, consisting of one large room and two smaller offices and maintain a further 3 offices in other areas.
We provide supervised contact for families that are not permitted to see their children unsupervised. These placements are allocated by the courts and are carried out by suitably qualified / vetted persons. We provide mediation services (fully qualified and insured) to families with young children, or mediation for teens that are struggling with their family relationships.
We have extended our volunteering opportunities and placements for student counsellors. We have also commenced work with the probation services and provide placements for unpaid work / community services.
This year we purchased a huge multi-storey building that houses three floors of retail space. We have redecorated, installed fittings and fixtures and also installed CCTV. The building has four offices. These are still in need of further reparation but have greatly improved. We have paid a £40,000 deposit on the building.
Further work has been undertaken with local youngsters to help them deal with troubling issues such as bullying, self-harm and bereavement to suicide.
Ongoing support is offered for those struggling with suicide, self-harm and depression management by means of counselling, social inclusion, volunteering and skill building, training and referrals to appropriate organisations.
We offer food and clothing to the homeless and have even supported accommodation in extreme circumstances.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Counselling Hub
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Counselling Hub ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts 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
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
