Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

By the end of the reporting year we had 20 counsellors, the qualified counsellors seeing at least one client a week and our 8 placement qualifying counsellors, provided 614 sessions of counselling. The equivalent of one third of sessions were provided free.

Our waiting list reduced from 6 months at the beginning of the year to 4 months by the end.

We increased the number of bereavement groups from 2 to 5, including an evening group. We have over 40 regular visitors to our groups.

The Friendship Service underwent a reorganisation at the end of the year..

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

Principal funding is via grants, fundraising and donations.

The current financial situation has severely affected grant funding, we have not been successful in our last three applications.

Fundraising and donations have also suffered significantly due to the cost of living crisis. One third of our counselling clients are currently not paying for their sessions. Our suggested donation is £15 (£7 concession).
