Report for Trustees 31/01/2021
Charity Name: The Power to Live Foundation Registered charity: number 1181997
Charity’s principal address: 60 Horsham Ave, London, N12 9BE (to be updated with charity Commission)
Mission:
The Power to Live Foundation aims to bridge the gap between over-stretched NHS therapy providers and costly private therapy by offering quality evidence-based behavioural psychotherapy to those who cannot afford it, then direct these service users into social connection groups within their locality. The charity operates a sliding scale system where donations to the charity are based on annual income. Clients with no income are able to access therapy for free.
Training:
As lead therapist, Tien Kuei has successfully trained 2 cohorts of trainee therapists, all MSc CBT students from Goldsmiths University. Within the first cohort, 6 therapists completed their training and two of these have stayed on to continue volunteering at Power to Live, beyond their initial commitment of one academic year.
Six out of eight therapists have completed the second round of training and have started to provide therapy sessions. Trainee therapists have access to regular small-group and individual supervision with Tien.
Centre:
Our base at Winkfield Community Centre in Woodgreen closed at the first lockdown so treatment have been online via Zoom, Skype or whichever form of telecommunication the clients have access to. Since then, we have completed various Covid-19 Risk assessments for the Centre, and now with lockdown-3, we are waiting to see if we can offer limited face-to-face treatment to those who really need this from March/April subject to the Centre’s approval and following the appropriately risk- assessed guidelines.
Assessment procedure:
Clients are assessed by Tien with an exclusion criterion in mind for clients with ongoing Addiction, Eating Disorder, Active suicidal behaviour and Psychosis since we do not have the capacity to offer specialised treatment to these groups. clients are then allocated to an appropriate therapist. Each client is offered a minimum of 12 sessions with the option to request further sessions.
Client group:
The client group consists of self-referrals via our website, referrals from Haringey GPs, Anxiety and Depression groups on social media, and referrals from Reach and Connect (a Haringey initiative whose purpose is to sign-post isolated over 50’s to services available in the borough). Since treatments are delivered online, we have expanded our geographical reach by accepting clients across London, but not outside of London. To date, 60 clients have requested support from Power to Live. Following initial assessment, 17 clients decided against committing to regular therapy/were not a suitable match for our service/were not able to provide consent to treatment.
Publicity:
Charity registration number: 1181997
Current challenges focus on the need to gain more exposure in the community for Power to Live in order to have a regular stream of clients in active therapy. In the short-term efforts will be focused on identifying local GPs and social prescribers who might be interested in our service. Adverts have been placed on the social media app NextDoor, and mental health support groups on Facebook to encourage self-referrals.
Spending 2021:
We are subscribing to CORE-NETlite which offers CORE-OM tracking of anxiety, depression and risk. The form can be filled in online by the client, and the results will be presented instantly in graphic form, so both client and therapist can track client progress, and more importantly level of risk for the client. They will offer training to all staff on how to use the system. This will be a yearly subscription service.
This is the biggest expense this year, but since we have accumulated funds, it is important to show we are spending to improve the Service. This measure will help us evidence our work.
We have also subscribed to Slack Enterprise level subscription, this is where the therapists and Service can share training files, Service information and client-related communication. The Enterprise level subscription is GDPR and HIPAA compliant for sensitive information. Keeping it in Slack means we centralise information and reduce sensitive information shared across emails and in private drives, improving our GDPR compliance.
We have also taken on Morgan Berkley Accountancy firm to be our charity accountants.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees 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).

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
1 Accounting policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity�s ability to continue.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
POWER TO LIVE FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
1 Accounting policies (Continued)
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Website costs 25% per annum
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Computer software 25% per annum
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity�s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity�s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
