## Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main achievements
of the charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s work has
made to the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider benefits
to society as a whole.|Para1.20|Talkthru continues to offer face to face, on-line
and telephone counselling. Over the financial
year 23-24 we received 118 referrals and
offered 677 planned appointments. We were
able to reduce the ‘did not’ and ‘could not’
attend rates, making the service more efficient
in our use of resources. During this period, we
began to offer ‘care calls’ to clients on our
waiting list for counselling. A volunteer trained
in basic counselling skills offered to contact
waiting list clients on a regular basis for a
‘check-in’ telephone call offering support and
encouragement while they were waiting for
their counselling appointment.
This financial year funding was received to
enable Talkthru to begin a new development in
it’s offering of support to women, men and
families facing pregnancy and child loss and
associated trauma. In addition to the continued
one to one counselling support, both face to
face and on-line, Talkthru launched a project
working with groups to support women who
had experienced miscarriage, “Your Loss
Matters”. This project, has continued to provide
support to a number of community groups and
has been evaluated as very successful in
meeting the objectives set for the project.
We also developed a support group for women
who had experience birth trauma.|

## **Independent examiners' report to the trustees of Talkthru**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st March 2024, which are set out on pages within this return.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the trustees' requirements:
• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
