TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 01 JUNE 2024

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Aims & Objectives

WFCS was set up to offer support to those who may otherwise be unable to seek the help they need. Our clients have a broad spectrum of complex needs, from relationship issues, to anxiety, bereavement, suicidal ideation and feeling directionless, among many others.

Main activities for achieving objectives

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Review of activities

The year 2023 to 2024 saw an increase in applications for support and the presenting issues were of a more medicalised nature than in the previous year. The national narrative of and increase in mental health issues is certainly reflected in our cohort of applicants.

The ability or willingness of applicants to pay for their support, and we are very low cost has been disappointing, and we have had to rely very heavily on private donations.

Wilfrid’s House has over the years gained a reputation for being a good placement for trainee therapists and we have been privileged to have had very sound and dedicated volunteers.

My team of supervisors and clinical assessors do an amazing job in supporting and facilitating the work of our volunteers. The small management team work extremely hard and without them Wilfrid’s House would not be able to function in the way it does. Our part time admin team has worked tirelessly to ensure our systems our correct and in line with the requirements of the training institutions our volunteers come from.

At any one time we have between 30 and 37 volunteers, in the last year we have given over 4,700 clinical hours of support .We have also consulted to the Medical and Physics Faculty at Imperial College and have given talks on Mental Wellness to various other educational organisations.

It is a privilege to be able support many people and also to support the development of future psychologist and therapists.

I would like to thank the Fathers at Oratory House for their generous support with use of rooms and my fellow trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 01 JUNE 2024

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the period ended 01 June 2024 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.
