The Olive Trust
Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024
Objects and activities of the charity
The purposes of the charity is as set out in its governing document.
The Olive Trust expanded its charitable objective of supporting those in need by establishing its therapeutic branch in 2023, which has since become the central focus of our work. In line with our constitutional objects, the Trust seeks to preserve and protect the mental health and wellbeing of individuals living in Leicester and Leicestershire through the provision of:
-
Free or low-cost counselling and psychotherapy services to adults (aged 18 and over) who, due to financial constraints, would otherwise be unable to access support. This is offered both face-toface and online.
-
Accessible therapeutic support for individuals from underserved or disadvantaged backgrounds, including the provision of peer support groups in community settings.
-
A signposting service to other sources of relevant support, where appropriate.
-
The provision of supervised placements for trainee counsellors (Level 5 and above), to support the development of future professionals and strengthen the local mental health workforce.
To ensure therapy is accessible regardless of financial situation, we operate a tiered model: offering a free service to those unable to pay and a sliding-scale contribution option for those in a position to do so.
Our service delivery is shaped by two key principles. Firstly, we work in partnership with local voluntary sector agencies to create clear and responsive referral pathways into our service. Secondly, we do not operate an exclusion criterion, which allows us to offer support to individuals who may face rejection from other services due to complex mental health presentations or systemic gaps in provision.
All services are delivered within a trauma-informed framework, ensuring clients are met with empathy, safety, and empowerment. Each person who accesses our support is provided with a therapist who understands and responds to their unique experiences. We believe this compassionate, inclusive, and person-centred approach is what sets The Olive Trust apart from other providers.
The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.
These roles form the foundation of our service delivery model and support the therapeutic and operational infrastructure of The Olive Trust.
Clinical lead- in post for one day a week.
Lead therapist- in post for three days a week
Clinical supervisor- provides 6 hours of supervision per month.
Trainee therapists- we currently have nine student therapists in place, undertaking client work
During the reporting period, the primary activity was the delivery of free or low-cost counselling and psychotherapy services to adults aged 18 and over who were experiencing emotional distress, trauma, or other mental health challenges. These services were offered both face-to-face and online, making them more accessible to those with mobility, financial, or cultural barriers.
In addition to one-to-one therapy, the Trust developed and delivered peer support groups within community settings, offering safe spaces for individuals from underserved or marginalised groups to share experiences, reduce isolation, and access informal mental health support.
To enhance access and service responsiveness, we worked in partnership with local voluntary and community organisations, creating direct referral pathways into our service. We also provided signposting to other relevant support services where appropriate, ensuring clients received holistic care.
The Olive Trust continues to support the training and development of future mental health professionals by offering supervised placements to trainee counsellors (Level 5 and above), thereby contributing to the sustainability of local therapeutic provision.

The Olive Trust
Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024
The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.
We expanded our referral pathways by establishing partnerships with local voluntary sector agencies, enabling us to reach individuals from underserved and disadvantaged communities. In keeping with our inclusive approach, the service was delivered without exclusion criteria, allowing us to support clients with complex mental health needs who often fall through gaps in statutory provision.
In addition, the Trust delivered peer support groups within local community settings, promoting social connection and shared recovery among participants. We also offered a signposting service to help individuals access other relevant support in the wider system.
The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.
We received 238 referrals from January to December 2024. Of these, 114 were referrals from other agencies/professionals and 124 were self- referrals.
We provided 1:1 support to 80 clients in that same reporting period.
In October 2024, The Olive Trust received a grant of £20,000 from the Reaching Communities Fund. This funding played a vital role in supporting our core operational cost as well as enabling us to extend our reach by developing peer support groups within local communities.
These groups have allowed us to engage directly with individuals from underserved or marginalised backgrounds, many of whom face significant barriers to accessing mainstream mental health support.
This funding has been instrumental in helping us reduce isolation, build trust, and provide meaningful early intervention in a safe and culturally sensitive environment.
The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity.
The impact of the service is evidenced through both clinical outcome measures and client feedback. Clients showed measurable improvements in their mental health, as demonstrated by reductions in symptoms on standardised tools such as the PHQ-9 (for depression), GAD-7 (for anxiety), and CORE-10 (general psychological distress). These improvements were often sustained over time, with clients reporting increased emotional stability, enhanced coping strategies, and a stronger sense of self.
In addition to clinical change, qualitative feedback from clients highlighted the significance of feeling heard, validated, and supported in a safe, non-judgemental space. Many described the service as life-changing, helping them to rebuild relationships, return to work or education, and manage daily life with greater confidence.
The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.
The benefits of this work extended well beyond the 80 individuals directly supported. As clients became more emotionally resilient and better able to function, their families, children, partners, and wider social circles also experienced positive changes including improved communication, reduced stress at home, and greater overall stability. In this way, the service contributed not only to individual recovery but to healthier relationships and more cohesive communities.
Furthermore, by offering supervised placements for trainee counsellors, the Trust supported the professional development of the next generation of therapists, ensuring the long-term sustainability and expansion of accessible mental health support in the region.
Our partnerships with local agencies in the voluntary sector are a relationship based on shared goals. As a trust we want to continue and widen our reach in supporting those most in need. To do this, we rely on agencies to identify need (s) and then make an appropriate referral to us.

Policies on reserves.
The Olive Trust has established a reserve to ensure financial stability and a means of continuity of our primary objective. The trustees intend to maintain financial reserves of at least £9,000 held as unrestricted funds.
This contingency approximates maintain services equivalent to three month's expenditure, covering costs and expenses including any fundraising initiatives. The trustees have attempted to keep operating costs as lean as possible without compromising service delivery.
The trustees periodically review the amount of funds and reserves required to track expenditure to date as well as to ensure there is financial longevity for the trust to continue its work.
Any operating expenses are streamlined therefore giving the reserve fund more. The trustees are committed to ensuring that the reserves shall not fall below the minimum threshold of three months operating expenses. By instilling financial discipline in a time where some charities are being forced to close due to lack of resources, The Olive Trust strives to ensure longevity to be able to continue to support the local community and those most in need.

Plans For the Future
The Olive Trust recognises that cost remains a significant barrier for many people seeking therapy, creating a situation where access to mental health support is often determined by financial means. We believe this is fundamentally unjust.
In response, The Olive Trust remains committed to challenging this inequality by continuing to provide low-cost and, where needed, free counselling and psychotherapy to residents across Leicester and Leicestershire. As we look to the future, our aim is to scale our capacity, deepen community partnerships, and secure sustainable funding so that our trauma-informed, personcentred services remain accessible to those who need them most.
Through innovation, collaboration, and compassion, we intend to be part of the long-term solution to the mental health crisis in our region.
Operations & Systems:
We have developed and implemented secure systems, processes and workflows that ensure safe and smooth service delivery. All our processes and systems adhere to the ICO data security guidelines. We have a dedicated IT professional (a trustee) who oversees the entire IT system.
Marketing & Communication:
To evaluate the effectiveness and public benefit of our services, The Olive Trust tracks a range of quantitative and qualitative indicators: A. Number of service users: We monitor the total number of individuals who receive one-to-one therapeutic support, as well as those participating in peer support groups and other communitybased activities.
B. Client satisfaction surveys: All clients are invited to provide feedback at the end of their support. This helps us assess the quality and relevance of our service, and identify opportunities for improvement. C. Referral rates: We record the number and source of all referrals received, including selfreferrals and those from voluntary sector partners and statutory agencies, to assess our accessibility and local reputation. D. Social media engagement: We analyse performance data from Instagram, including likes, comments, shares, and follower growth. These metrics help us understand audience engagement and guide improvements to our digital communication strategy.
Together, these indicators provide a well-rounded view of our reach, effectiveness, and areas for development, ensuring that The Olive Trust remains accountable, responsive, and impactful in meeting the needs of those we support. Funding Strategy: The Olive Trust recognises that long-term sustainability requires a diverse and proactive approach to income generation. To this end, we are currently pursuing multiple funding streams to support and expand our services:
-
Client donations: A steady and meaningful contribution comes from clients who are able to pay for sessions, either through a low-cost sliding scale or voluntary donations. These contributions help subsidise support for those who cannot afford to pay.
-
Trustee-affiliated donations: Some financial support is received from businesses owned by trustees, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to the Trust’s mission and values.
-
Trust and foundation funding: We are actively working with an experienced fundraiser to identify and apply for grants from charitable trusts and foundations whose priorities align with our focus on trauma recovery and mental health support.
-
Corporate partnerships: As part of our wider development strategy, we are building relationships with local businesses and organisations, with a view to becoming a nominated ‘Charity of the Year’ partner. Funds raised through these partnerships will directly support service delivery and capacity building.
By developing a balanced and multi-faceted approach to funding, The Olive Trust aims to strengthen its financial resilience and ensure continued access to free and low-cost mental health services for those most in need.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .
In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 10 October 2025.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 12 to 18 for the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 17.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report
As described on page 7, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. 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 setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

The Olive Trust
Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements 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;
have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).
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 financial statements to be reached.
