Therapy is always open-ended and low-cost, where the client decides how much to pay. ## **Objectives and activities** We have provided online or telephone weekly individual counselling and psychotherapy, and had begun to work face-to-face where possible. We also run groupwork and counselling schemes commissioned by other organisations and charities. LAPIS provides professional training in order to provide specialist disability education plus high quality individual fortnightly clinical supervision to all staff by registered psychotherapists and counselling psychologists with expertise in this field. LAPIS currently has twelve volunteers psychotherapists, five grant writer volunteers and six trustees. Looking forward into 2022, we have also commissioned a volunteer website designer and a team of pro bono business consultants. ## **Achievements and performance** LAPIS has provided psychotherapy to 75 clients over the 20/21 financial year and currently have 60 clients on our books plus a waiting list of around 15 referrals. They will all be placed with a LAPIS therapist by February 2023. Other activities: This year we have also continued online our online mindful movement classes for women with disabilities, serving 4-10 women weekly. We have hosted and facilitated two online8-week groups for blind and visually impaired people with six attendees in each group. LAPIS co-led a British Psychological Society webinar in February. LAPIS has been commissioned this year to carry out a pilot counselling scheme of adults with Cerebral Palsy. ## **Financial review** ## **Reserves policy** The charity retains circa £30,000 every financial year to cover expenses for the following year. The Reserves policy is reviewed annually after the end of the financial year and may be changed if appropriate. ## **Financial review** The charity was incorporated as a CIO on 24 September 2020 and was funded with an initial donation of £22,000. In providing its services, the charity has received additional funding of £21,000 and incurred costs of £15,000. The retained surplus will enable the charity to pursue its objectives of providing psychotherapy and related services in the future ## **Structure, governance and management** Governing document The charity is controlled by its governing document and constitutes a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO).
