ANNUAL REPORT FOR JAKIN CARE AND COUNSELLING 2025 

This was our twenty-fourth year of running our free counselling service in Leicester and Leicestershire.  On the 24th September 2025 we were 24 years old! 

We continued to care for clients from Monday to Friday, offering our blended service through a variety of means, giving free counselling sessions to clients either by telephone, zoom, WhatsApp video, or face to face in person at The Kings Centre in Wigston. Working virtually or face to face and offering this choice to our clients, as well as matching our own needs as counsellors and support workers, continues to work well. Our supervision sessions have been on the telephone and zoom, our trustee prayer meetings have been via zoom and our trustee meetings have all been in person. 

We are now seeing more request for in person counselling than last year. 

Our team has reduced during the year, and we now have 5 counsellors, some undergoing training but all well supervised. They are offering more client sessions. This year we had 75 referrals which was less than last year, but we were able to offer 810 sessions in total, up 32 per cent on last year. 

The issues we’ve cared for in the counselling have ranged from supporting clients who are pregnant and don’t know what to do, to those who have had terminations and are grieving and the majority of our sessions have been with clients post abortion. We have supported them with long term grief support, shame work, supporting anxiety, working on low self-esteem, wounds unhealed from the past and supporting clients with the daily triggers and trauma effects they live with. 

All counsellors have regular supervision following the guidelines of  BACP [British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy] and ACC [Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked professions] 

We also have bimonthly team meetings of volunteers and trustees to offer support to each other. 

Our trustee team has remained Sally Bailey, Anona Griffin, Pete Owers and we welcomed Mel  Beynon later in the year, one of our training counsellors. As Pete Owers is stepping down from his role as trustee but has agreed to continue keeping our accounts for us, we will be recruiting another trustee. We are planning some information meetings at large churches which may draw new counsellors, trustees, clerical and financial support. The trustees are working on a five year plan and risk management documents. We have reviewed our policy documents. 

Our finances are good, but costs such as website maintenance and other running costs will be increasing. 



Otherwise, we have had an excellent year and are looking forward to growing our charity.
