2 FActrS URE RE RT24 2023 In From the fi8ures I've pr<)duced on the following page you will see our Income has come from counselling cllents, Supervislon of outslde counsellors by Liz, donations, a grant, holding a car boot sale and gift aid. Our Counsellors. helped by our manager. have done a great job of growing our agency and we are receiving fees from some clients. As we are only charging when and if the cllents are able to pav, the extra financial assistance given by grants, donations and 8ift aid is invaluable as a number of our clients are not able to pay. Although the total income is down from last year, which induded a large donaon of £50, also expenditure is down too so we are holdin8 our own at the moment as you will see from our bank account balance. Supervision: This is our largest expenditure but as our counsellors are not bein8 paid for the counselllng they do the trustees thought It only right to pay thelr supervision to support them. Manager Fees: Our Manager, Sue Cussons, takes care of the dayto day runnin8 of the agenq and Is responsible for helping our clients and counsellors with appointments and querle& 5truttural En8ineer: We had to en8age a Strurtural Engineer to ascertain that the plans we are proposin8 for the top floor of the college will be safe and ask his advice 80in8 forward. Counsellin8 Aids: These are things that we have bought to help the Counsellor and more importantly the client to explore more deeply the issues they are stru88lin8 with. That can be anythin8 from Russian Dolls, figures or even plasticine. Other Expenditure: I think the other expenditure is self*xplanatory but please ask if you have any questions. Future Expenses: As we are becoming busier it is dear that changes need to be made to the top floor to facilitate more counselling rooms. This will involve major building work which will not corne cheap costing
over £l(KJ.QKK) for labour, matertals and furniture for the additional rooms We had hoped to stsrt payin8 our qualified counsellors from September but this has had to be postponed as we don't feel we are in a position at present to be able to do this. It is something we are keen to do in the future and hopefully not in the too distant future. Bless them they do understand and are willin8 to carry on with just their supervision being paid for the time being. We have another four Student counsellors just starting which will mean more supervision costs but hopefully will 8enerate more Income so we will be able to pay our qualified counsellors. At present we have had the goodwill and support from the church and have not had to cover the cost of the energy used and other expenses incurred by us using the facilit5es. We would In the future Ilke to be self sufficient and pay the thurth for the amenities we are using. I hope you have found this report helpful. If you have any questions concerning It please feel free to ask me, either at the meeting or afterwards and I'll do my best to answer all your questions. susan Ferrey Agency Treasurer
