|Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year||||In 2019,YCS moved to larger premises
with the aim ofexpanding
our
low-cost services to more people. We have some grant funding
and took
this opportunity
to expand
and give ourselves
time to introduce
other
counselling
services that would generate
income so we could work|||
|||||towards
financial
sustainability.
However, 2020 has had|a huge|impact on|
|||||our vision for these changes|||
|||||During 2020, YCS has found a need to react to an unprecedented|||
|||||pandemic.
Our offices, and hence our services, closed|in March|2020.|
|||||We chose to offer our service online
with counsellors
that were qualified|||
|||||enough to provide this service.|||
|||||With the chance to reopen our offices, we invested
in systems to ensure|||
|||||our offices are safe to practice and have developed
and|follow a|robust|
|||||COIVD risk assessment.
We successfully
opened the office for the|||
|||||autumn
of2020 but, unfortunately,
closed our offices again Christmas|||
|||||2020 until April 2021.We are now open once a week forface to||face|
|||||counselling.|||
