SignpostiTng to self-hglp rgsources, ensuring people are connected to the right help at the right lime. DevelopiTng culturally competent services to ensure Black and Brown individuals Ceive care that is sensitive, inclusive, and effective. Key Achievements Expandlng Therapeutlc Support We have increased our reach across the West Midlands, offering individual and group therapy sessions. Our focus on BAME communities and hard-lo-reach groups has allowed us lo provide specialist support lo those often overlooked by mainstream services. We slrenglhened our partnership with Walsall Council, the NHS, and the Wesl Midlands Combined Authority to ensure more sustainable referrals and funding streams.

Being You Therapy Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustees, Annual Report (conllnuedj Year ended 30 June 2025 Challenges Faced Increased demand. Demand for our services continues lo outstrip capacity, especially among homeless populations and young people. Funding sustainability.. While we have secured projecl-based fvnding, ongoing core costs remain challenge, requiring us lo seek longer-term investment. Staff wellbeing.. As with many frontline Servi5, ensuring the wellbeing of our Iherapisls and volunteers has been a key area of focus. Learning and Reflections This year has provided us with valuable insight Into both the strengths of our services and the areas where we must continue to grow. Cultural Responsiveness We have learned that culturally responsive therapy is not simply a preference but an essential component of effective mental health care. Clients have shared how imFX)rtanl it is to see therapists who understand their cultural background. lived experiences, and the systemic challenges they fa. This has reinforced our belief that equity and representation must remain central lo everything we do. Power of Community-88sed Support Group work such as the nium and Mind project and the Young People s Ment81 Health Gmup has shown us that peer connection plays a vital role in recovery. Many participants reported feeling less isolated and more hopeful as a result of sharing space with others who understand their struggles. The Value of Partnerships Our collaboration with local aulhorilies, housing teams, and voluntary sector organisalions has proven critical. Working together allows us to provide holistic support that addresses both the mental health and the practical needs of clients. This has strengthened our resolve to invest more in partnership development and collective action. Staff and Volunteer Wellbeing We have learned that in order lo care well for others, we must care for our team. The demands of frontline mental health work can take a toll, and this year we introduced new spaces for reflective practice and wellbeing support for staff. This will remain a priority moving forward. Early InteentiOn and Prevention A recurring theme in our work is that too many people come to us only at the point of crisis. This reinforces the need for preventative work, early intervention, and awareness raising in schools, community cenlres, and faith sellings. The earlier people are supported, the less likely they are to face long-lerm challenges. Financial review The statement of Financial activities shows an overall net surplus for the period of £2,671 consisting of an unreslricled deficit for the period of £142 and a restricted surplus of £2,813.
Being You Therapy Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustees, Annual Report (conllnuedj Year ended 30 June 2025 Looking Ahead to 2025-2026 As we enter the new year, we do so with renewed vision and determination. Our priorities for 202>2026 are clear and ambitious.. Securing Long-Temi Investment We will continue lo pursue multi-year funding agreements with local authorities, Irusls, and corporate partners to ensure stability. Alongside this, we will develop social enterprise opportunities to create streams of income that strengthen our sustainability. Expanding the Restoration Therapy Pathway Building on our SUC$ses, we plan to grow our therapy provision, offering a minimum of 24 therapy sessions per client and widening access across the Wesl Midlands. This includes a stronger focus on Black and Brown individuals, as well as those experiencing homelessness, ensuring they are not left behind. Developing fhgrapgutic Tools and Products Following the success of our mental health diaries, we aim to launch a series of pra¢lical products such as coping card decks, therapy preparation packs, and wellbeing toolkits. These will both enhance client experience and create an additional income stream for the charity. Strengthening Our Workforce We plan to recruit additional Ihefftpisls and support staff, with a strong emphasis on cultural awareness, trauma-informed practice, and safeguarding. We will also continue to provide reflective spaces and supervision to ensure staff wellbeing. Creating Community Spaces for Healing We aspire to develop safe and welcoming community hubs where therapy, group sessions, and creative activities can lake place under one roof. These spaces will act as a beacon of hope and belonging for the communities we serve. Influencing Systemic Change Beyond direct Servi delivery, we will use our voice lo advocate for fairer, more equitable mental health provision. This includes engaging with policy makers, NHS leaders, and community organisalions to tackle structural barriers such as racial inequality and access to care. Evaluation and Impact We will strengthen our monitoring and evaluation systems lo demonstrate clearly the impact of our work. Collecting client stories and outcome data will not only help us improve our services bul also communicate our value to funders and stakeholders. Together, these priorities will ensure that Being You Therapy not only continues lo provide compassionate care but also grows into a leading Vol for culturally competent, community-rooted mental health support. Closing Reflection This past year has reminded us of the strength within our community, the resilience of our clients, and the dedication of our team. Being You Therapy stands as a place of hope, healing, and advocacy. Inthile the challenges remain significant, our commitment to ensuring culturally competent and accessible mental health support remains stronger than ever.
