## **���������������� FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
The trustees of The Sea Change Trust are pleased to present their annual report, which outlines the activities, impact, and achievements of the charity for the year ending 31st December 2024.
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 2024. 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 is a Shropshire-based charity offering specialist psychological support to� children, young people, and families, particularly those who are vulnerable, marginalised, or� unable to access other services. Founded in 2019 by local child and family therapists, the charity� was established in response to a growing gap in accessible, early mental health intervention – especially in rural communities where services have been significantly reduced.
Our work is shaped by a strong commitment to therapeutic excellence, community collaboration, and long-term emotional wellbeing. We believe that timely, sensitive support can have a lifechanging impact – whether during the early years, through key transition points such as adolescence, or within family relationships that have been strained by trauma or adversity.
Everything we do is rooted in our unwavering vision and mission:
## **Our Vision**
A future where young minds are supported and empowered at the time of need.
## **Our Mission**
To transform young futures through specialist therapeutic support.
We aim to achieve our mission and vision by:
- Ensuring parents or carers, children and young people 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 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
Our overriding aims are:
- To increase engagement with local services including our own
- To strengthen connections within families, between individuals and within communities
- To help with recovery from trauma

## **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 need psychotherapeutic services, by the provision of specialist training in related subjects.
## **b.�Public Benefit Statement**
We provide psychological support to children, families, and individuals in our community who might otherwise struggle to access the support they need, regardless of financial means, background, or status. Our work delivers tangible benefits to children, young people, families, carers, and professionals responsible for the care and education of children.
## **Our beneficiaries include:**
- **Children, young people, and families -** Our services reduce isolation, promote emotional and mental well-being, and foster greater self-awareness and understanding. They help to strengthen relationships and build resilience within families
- **Carers and professionals -** We offer a safe and reflective space for carers and professionals to explore the challenges they face in their roles. This enhances their capacity to support others while also protecting their own well-being
## **Wider public benefit includes:**
- **The broader community -** By reducing anxiety, loneliness, and emotional distress, our support enables individuals to engage more confidently and actively within their communities
- **Healthcare systems -** Early psychological support helps to prevent escalation of mental health difficulties, reducing the need for more intensive or specialist interventions and easing pressure on public health services.
## **3.�ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
In 2024, The Sea Change Trust has continued to deliver vital specialist psychological support� across Shropshire and Telford, with a particular focus on perinatal and infant mental health, early� years, young people, and families experiencing complex emotional needs. The majority of our� services remain free at the point of access and prioritise those unable to access or afford� traditional therapeutic support.

In 2024 we delivered:
- 373 sessions across drop-in groups and 1:1 ‘Listening Space’ therapy

- Listening Space Therapy: 23 sessions for 120 parents/carers and 24 children
Feedback from participants emphasised the critical role of these safe, therapeutic spaces:
- “A safe space to be heard and feel like someone actually cares...”
- “I have formed friendships that I keep in contact with... I appreciate the therapists and the charity for their support.”
## **Young Adults Support (YAS)**
Our Young Adults Support (YAS) project provided essential therapeutic intervention for 170 young people facing a range of challenges, from anxiety and low mood to autism and emotional burnout.

## **The Rose Fund – Subsidised Psychotherapy**
The Rose Fund continued to address gaps in provision for those in need of longer-term therapeutic work, especially where financial barriers exist. In 2024:
- 481 individual psychotherapy sessions delivered
- Beneficiaries included children, young people, and parents
- Therapies included art psychotherapy, analytic psychotherapy, and therapeutic parenting support
This flexible, in-depth model helped clients access support at the level and pace they required.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
## **Future Plans (Next 12 Months)**
Over the coming year, The Sea Change Trust will continue to build on its strong foundations and the positive impact achieved across its programmes to date. Our focus will be on sustaining and growing our core areas of work while further strengthening the organisation’s infrastructure and long-term sustainability. As ever, our priority is to consider the needs of those who are most vulnerable or isolated.
## **Early Years:**
We aim to sustain and grow our early years provision, ensuring that families with babies and young children continue to have access to safe, creative and therapeutic spaces in their local communities. Building on the success of our group sessions, we plan to extend our reach to more families and further embed our model of early, accessible emotional support.
The Family Hubs funding for our work in Telford will be coming to an end, so we will take time to review the interventions we’ve been able to offer there and decide how best to take work forward in this area in future. The Reaching Vulnerable Children funding through the National Lottery will continue to support our work in Shrewsbury and Pontesbury and we will be considering how best to sustain the drop-ins and Listening Space service beyond the existing funding stream.
## **Young Adults:**
Our aim is that our work with vulnerable young adults will continue to develop, responding to the increasing demand for therapeutic and relational support for those navigating transitions into adulthood. We intend to build on our existing partnerships and explore new opportunities to provide group and one-to-one interventions tailored to this age group.
We are working with several young adults who have come to us through the Young Adults Service this year, and have ideas about ways of engaging this vulnerable age group within the community which we will be working on in the coming months.
## **Subsidised Psychotherapy:**
We will continue to offer subsidised psychotherapy, ensuring that high-quality, specialist mental health support remains accessible to those who would not otherwise be able to afford it. A priority
Page �
**THE SEA CHANGE TRUST**
## **����������������**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
for the coming year is to maintain and, where possible, expand this offer through a mixed funding model.
## **Fundraising and Sustainability:**
The charity is actively working to grow and diversify its fundraising base. Over the next 12 months, we will continue to strengthen our trust and foundation applications, develop community and corporate fundraising, and explore new income-generating opportunities. These steps will help ensure the sustainability of our therapeutic services and reduce reliance on any single source of income.
## **Systems and Infrastructure:**
A key focus for the year ahead is the implementation of our new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, which is currently being developed. The first phase will be operational soon and will help the charity to manage referrals, monitor outcomes, and improve communication with stakeholders more efficiently. Once fully implemented, the CRM will provide valuable insights into our impact, strengthen data management, and support the long-term development of our services.
## **Website**
Our new website has been under development this year, in partnership with Sea Change Psychotherapy and Reech Marketing. We look forward to it’s launch imminently.
## **New Projects and Opportunities:**
The Sea Change Trust remains open to new projects and opportunities that align with our charitable aims. We recognise the value of collaboration and innovation, and will continue to explore partnerships and pilot initiatives that help us respond to emerging community needs and enhance our reach and impact.
Through these plans, The Sea Change Trust will continue to work towards its vision of a world where the emotional and psychological needs of children, young people and families are met through timely, effective, and compassionate support within their own communities. We look forward to these and other developments with hope and curiosity.
## **4.�STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
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.
## **Methods used to recruit and appoint new trustees**
As set out in our constitution, dated 1st August 2018, Trustees are appointed for a fixed term. In selecting individuals for appointment as Trustees, the Trustees must consider the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of The Sea Change Trust. 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 and receive a full induction to the charity.

## **5. Financial Review**
The Trustees are pleased to report that in the financial year ending 31[st] December 2024 our income for the year was £412,839.
This was an increase of £126,683 from the previous year (2023: £286,156) due to an increase in grant income and the timings at which these were received. The demand for The Sea Change Trust’s services continues to grow and we have worked hard to generate funds to enable us to support our beneficiaries throughout the year and reach many more families and children in Shropshire.
## **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 £40,000 - £80,000. This is to ensure that there is sufficient in reserve to support the charitable activities of the organisation for 3-6 months, at the current level. 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 2024 were £76,098 (2023: £64,768).
## **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.
## **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.
