**THE SEA CHANGE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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 December 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). 

## **1. Introduction** 

The Sea Change Trust was founded in February 2019 by a group of local child and family therapists, with the aim of offering specialist psychological support to the most vulnerable and marginalised members of our community. 

Our vision is a future where young minds are supported and empowered at the time of need. 

Our mission is to transform young futures through specialist therapeutic support. 

We aim to achieve our mission and vision by: 

- Ensuring young parents or carers and their children or infants get the best possible mental health support to overcome life’s challenges, through specialist psychological intervention to those whose needs are not being met by current services 

- Providing parents or carers and their children or infants with the best psychotherapeutic support in a caring, professional environment where we will give help to our clients whatever their financial means, background, or status 

- Working together with other professionals to make a real difference and to have a positive impact on mental health in Shropshire. 

- Prioritising equality, diversity, and inclusion in all our projects. 

## **The Need** 

We were formed to respond to the challenges children, young people, and parents face with their mental health. 1 in 8 children and young people in England face mental health problems (NHS Digital Report 2018). Approximately 68% of women and 57% of men with mental health problems are parents (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2016). 

Services to support children, young people and parents have been subject to many cuts in recent years, leaving the remaining resources extremely stretched in the face of increasing demand. While a lack of provision for mental health support is sadly not a new challenge it has been amplified over the last 3 years due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. 

Covid-19 had a huge impact on mental health, particularly affecting children and young people, with parents worried about how the pandemic would affect their children’s long-term mental health. This has been further amplified by the current cost of living crisis. 

Children living in lower income households and whose parents are in receipt of low-income benefits are more likely to experience challenges with their mental health (NHS Digital, 2019).  There is growing concern over the rates of childhood poverty in Shropshire. 31.5% of children in Telford and Wrekin, 31% of children in North Shropshire, 26% of children in Shrewsbury and 30% of children in Ludlow are living in poverty (End Child Poverty, 2020). 

We are seeing the reality of these statistics with demand for our services growing rapidly. We support children, young people, and families by delivering one-to-one specialist psychotherapy and group support sessions. We work closely in partnership with other charities and service providers, ensuring we are able to offer our services to those who are most in need of our support.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **2. Objectives and Public Benefit** 

## **a. Our objects as set out in our constitution are:** 

_To promote and protect the mental health of children and their parents or carers in Shropshire and surrounding counties through, but not exclusively, the provision of psychotherapeutic services. To advance the education of parents, carers and professionals responsible for the care and education of children, who are in need of psychotherapeutic services, by the provision of specialist training in related subjects._ 

## **b. Public Benefit Statement** 

We deliver psychological support to the most vulnerable and marginalised members of our community, regardless of financial means, background, or status. Our work directly benefits children, young people, families and carers and professionals responsible for the care and education of children: 

- **Children, young people, and families:** Our support has been shown to lessen the sense of isolation and prevent a decline in emotional and mental well-being. It also helps increase understanding and self-awareness and strengthens positive relationships 

- **Carers and professionals:** Our support gives carers and professionals working with children, young people, and families the space to talk through the challenges they are facing, so that they are better able to take care of themselves and one another. 

In delivering our services we further benefit the public, as follows: 

- **Wider community:** Reducing anxiety and social isolation for those who access our services means they can play a more active role in the community 

- **Healthcare providers:** Our support helps to reduce the need for specialist mental health services and interventions. 

## **3. Achievements and performance** 

We are pleased to report the following updates on our work. 

We would like to thank all of our donors and supporters. Without them none of the following achievements would have been possible. 

We work closely in partnership with other charities and service providers, ensuring we are able to offer our services to those who are most in need of our support. 

In 2022 we: 

- Directly supported 766 babies, children, young people, parents, and teachers 

- Offered 79 Drop-In sessions 

- Delivered 341 Individual sessions 

The three key differences we aim to make are: 

1. To enable greater engagement with local services, including our own. 

2. To improve connections within families and communities. 

3. To lessen the impact of trauma, loss, and separation.

**THE SEA CHANGE TRUST** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

The services have helped: 

- Lessen the sense of isolation 

- Provide support with bereavement 

- Give a greater sense of self-confidence 

- Prevent a decline in emotional and mental well-being 

- Reduce levels of anxiety 

- Reduce social isolation 

- Strengthen positive relationships 

- Increase understanding and self-awareness. 

## **a. Early Years’ Project** 

In 2022 we further developed our Early Years’ Project, which launched in 2020. We have seen demand for this service grow considerably over the year. 

Our Early Years’ project is an accessible, community-based preventative Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Programme. It was formed in consultation with local families. Responding to the needs of the community we created a safe and non-judgemental space, where parents and carers can share their experiences with our therapists and other families, as well as forming bonds with each other.  The project is primarily aimed at families with babies and children of pre-school age. 

The Project differs from other Parent and Baby/Toddler services within the community because they are delivered by our team of specialist psychotherapists. The project currently consists of two weekly drop-ins alongside individual ‘Listening Space’ sessions. 

Each drop-in session is run by two qualified therapists, who are there to talk to parents and carers about any concerns they have about the emotional and mental wellbeing of themselves or their child, or about the developing relationship. We aim to hold the sessions throughout term-time, for 40 weeks of the year. Having regular groups means parents can build this into the pattern of their week. 

‘Talk and Play in the Bell Tent’ takes place in the Quarry Park in Shrewsbury. This is aimed at babies and pre-schoolers and their parents or carers, with a space for adults to talk while babies play. We hold the sessions in places at the heart of the local community that people can easily access, with good public transport links. Families can drop in at any time during the session. 

The ‘Family Drop-In' is based at the Pavilion Community Hub and Library in Pontesbury. Sessions cater for babies and children up to the age of four, who are offered a craft activity based on a children’s story book, while parents and carers are able to talk with our therapists and one another over a hot drink. 

For parents and carers who would like a more private space to talk, we offer support from one of our team of specialist psychotherapists through our ‘Listening Space’ service.  This is a short-term intervention which is usually held over twelve sessions but can be longer if needed. 

We promote our Early Years’ Project through other service providers, other charities, and through the local press and social media. 

We aim to make the sessions as accessible as possible. They are free at the point of delivery and funded through grants and donations. 

This year, 626 parents, grandparents, carers, babies, and toddlers have used our Drop-Ins, with 6 having extra support through the Listening Space.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **b. Individual Psychotherapy for children, young people, and families** 

In 2022 we continued our subsidised psychotherapy service, ‘The Rose Fund’. This service is for those who would otherwise be unable to access this kind of support and whose needs cannot be met by counselling or other provision available elsewhere. Work is aimed at those who are particularly vulnerable, including refugee children and their parents. 

Children and young people attend on a weekly basis, with parent work offered alongside in support of their therapy. The kinds of difficulties children present with include low mood, anxiety, difficulties with peer relations, self-harm and suicidal ideation. This work is not short term or straightforward. It requires time to build a trusting relationship and to explore the complex issues involved. This time and attention is very much appreciated by the families, and real and lasting changes take place. 20 children and parents have attended Rose Fund sessions, many of them attending regularly for over a year. 

## **c. Working with Schools** 

_In 2022 we developed our work with schools, building on a successful project which started in 2020._ 

During the year we worked in partnership with a local school to provide therapeutic groupwork and individual therapeutic support for children as well as consultation and reflective practice groups for staff. By working closely with the school, we were able to support children and their families, teachers, and pastoral care staff. Our understanding of the child's emotional and mental world, the importance of attachment patterns and expertise in trauma means we are well equipped to provide support, guidance and a reflective space in which difficulties can be explored, understood, and addressed as effectively as possible. 

The impact of Covid-19 continues to be felt, particularly by those children and staff. 

This year we ran an Art Therapy group for reception children who were struggling to adjust to being at school after a lack of social contact during lockdown and subsequently offered classroom observations and teacher consultations for staff who have concerns about particular groups or individual children. 27 children and 18 staff have been supported directly, and 7 classes of children indirectly. The senior management team have had two consultations and a report has been written in support of an EHCP application. 

## **d. Case Study** 

Erin, an 11-year-old girl was referred by her parents due to significant distress, PTSD symptoms and separation anxiety following her mother's battle and recovery from a rare form of cancer. The whole family were feeling the impact of this experience, but Erin was the one holding most of the worry. Erin engaged in weekly art psychotherapy for two years, with sessions taking place via zoom throughout lockdown during the pandemic. Erin used art materials to express feelings and memories that were hard to put into words, and her psychotherapist helped her to make sense of these worries and process the traumatic memories until she reached a point where they were much less overwhelming. 

While Erin engaged in weekly psychotherapy, the parents attended fortnightly sessions to support them in their role as parents to Erin. Over time, Erin reported feeling more confident, less separation anxiety, and was more able to enjoy other relationships and activities with less of a preoccupation with her mother's health. After two years things were feeling much better, and Erin was able to engage in a positive and meaningful ending to her psychotherapy.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **4. Future Plans** 

We plan to continue to develop the scope and breadth of our services, through the following: 

- To support the Drop-In sessions with both extended Listening Space provision and a new Family Listening Space service. 

- To run a new Drop-In based in Telford Town Park, to also include Listening Space and targeted group work. 

- To further develop the Subsidised Psychotherapy project to reach greater numbers of children and young people. 

- To invest in a Therapy Bus to help with our outreach provision across the county. 

- To work with a local marketing company on improving our branding and communications. 

## **5. Structure, Governance and Management** 

The charity is governed by a constitution dated 1[st] August 2018 and was registered with the Charity Commission on 4[th] February 2019. 

## **Methods used to recruit and appoint new trustees** 

As set out in our constitution, dated 1[st] August 2018, Trustees are appointed for a fixed term. In selecting individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the charity. An annual skills analysis ensures the Trustees offer a suitable range of knowledge and skills to support the charity. 

New Trustees are recruited openly in line with The Sea Change Trust’s Trustee Recruitment Policy. Trustees receive a full induction to the charity. 

## **6. Financial Review** 

The Trustees are pleased to report that in the financial year ending 31[st] December 2022 our income for the year was £81,845. 

This was an increase of £50,651 (from £31,194) raised in the previous year, when we had a restricted carry over of £64,603, which was due to the need for us to pause most of our face-to-face work in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

As outlined in this report the demand for our services continues to grow and we have worked hard to generate funds to enable us to support our beneficiaries throughout the year. 

## **a. Going concern** 

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the 12 next months and the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **b. Reserves Policy** 

The trustees agree to hold free reserves in the region of £10,000. This is to ensure that there is sufficient in reserve to support the project activities of the charity funded through restricted funds, for 6 months. The Trustees agree to continuously monitor this as the charity grows and develops to ensure the amount held in reserves mirrors the level of activity. 

The free reserves of the charity for the financial year ended 31st December 2022 were £10,392 (2021: £8,555).

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** 

## **c. Risks and uncertainties** 

The trustees have a proactive approach to risk management. A live risk register is kept, which is regularly updated and reviewed at the quarterly Trustees’ meetings. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Sea Change Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- 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 charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
