## **– Relate Plymouth 2022/2023 Annual Report**
The past year has been another difficult one for Relate Plymouth, but we continue to meet our Aims and Objectives which are:
- To help people build better relationships
- To enhance the quality of couple, parental and family relationships
- To help all relationships and marriages withstand the pressures leading to breakdown
- To limit the damage which commonly accompanies failing relationships, separation and divorce and increase the prospect of subsequent relationships succeeding.
In the belief that:
- An individuals’ physical well-being and emotional/mental health benefits from a committed relationship
- Children thrive in families where relationships are positive and free from destructive conflict
- People gain from an understanding of their sexuality
- Expressing clear commitment is a helpful contribution to a healthy and secure couple relationship.
The challenges this year have been a lack of trained counsellors and difficulty recruiting new trainees to undertake Relate training .
However, evidence shows that our services achieve significant improvements in relationship quality and overall wellbeing, with 86% of clients feeling confident about their relationship after counselling.
Our work is varied – we help people to find love, cope with separation and divorce, improve their sex lives, break up in the least painful way possible, overcome infidelity, rebuild trust, regain intimacy and much more besides.
We believe that no problem is too small and encourage people to seek support for their relationships at the earliest possible stage, even when times are good. Relates couple counselling saves the state an estimated £11 for every £1 spent.

Relate Plymouth has continued to work by offering zoom sessions alongside face-to-face session. However, we have seen a reduction in clients wanting to have zoom sessions and requesting face to face sessions as we return to a more normal way of working.
## – Plymouth Relate Achievements 2022
- 1,400 counselling sessions provided by 4 Relate qualified and trained counsellors
-
- Zoom sessions continue to be offered. We will continue to work in this hybrid way for the foreseeable future. We have seen an increase in face-to-face session during this period.
- Continued work in schools across the city, although we have lost one school during this period.
- Referrals from the Royal Navy/ Royal Marines continue to be made to the centre. This work is funded through the contract that Relate National holds with the Navy.
- The slight increase in Children and Young Peoples work offered in the centre.
All these activities are the result of the work undertaken by the Centre Manager and her staff, dedication of all the Counsellors and the support of the trustees.
The reserve that the centre holds has helped us to get through the pandemic.
The reserve will now help us to recruit new trainees and build the service u
## - The Way Ahead Action for 2023
In addition to the continuation of the work undertaken by counsellors to see individuals and couples to deliver the best possible relationship counselling available, 2023 will focus on the following activities:
2
- The Centre Manager will seek to reopen some of the outposts that had to close during the pandemic.
- The Centre Manager will promote the work of Relate Plymouth to the community, to ensure that everyone has access to our service.
- Recruitment of at least two Trustees to ensure we have good governance of the Centre.
- Recruitment of four trainee counsellors, working in the Plymouth Centre.
- Recruitment of a Sex Therapist
- Improvements to the Plymouth centre.

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
Trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's state of affairs during the financial period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to:
- -select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-state whether the applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **RELATE PLYMOUTH AND DISTRICT**
## **ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED**
## **31st March, 2022**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 11.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Date: 10th November 2022

## **ORGANISATION**

## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES**
The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 5 of the accounts.
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established that enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen the risks.
## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
Trustees are responsible for preparing an annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's state of affairs during the financial period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing those accounts, the trustees are required to:
- -select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-state whether the applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **RELATE PLYMOUTH AND DISTRICT**
## **ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED**
## **31st March, 2022**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 11.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Date: 10th November 2022
