Trustees Report
It is difficult to write a report that pertains only to the 2024/25 Annual Return dates.This is because much of what we aimed for in that year is now coming to fruition.
We had plans to develop the skill mix of our Trustee team and review our aims for the future. We felt that we needed to raise our profile in the community using our website, leaflets and social media. We wished to retain our christian ethos and continue providing affordable counselling for our locality.
We set up working groups to achieve this, built closer links with Haslemere Town Council and are moving into new purpose built premises in the summer of this year. We have been accepted for CIO status but are awaiting final permission to close our current Unincorporated Organisation.
The premises are based in “The Link” at St Bartholomew’s Church in Haslemere which will form a central hub for the community. This gives us a permanent and more recognisable base, allowing us to strengthen our services further. The working groups hope to have achieved their goals to coincide with this move.
We now have a full team of dedicated trustees with the skills to move us forward. We also have a newly appointed Treasurer and have created a new post of Business Director.
This team will support our network of counsellors, stewards and staff. We have just celebrated 25 years since our formation over which time we have given over 35000 hours of therapy to over 12000 people and supported over 60 counsellors in obtaining degrees and qualifications. We continue to see 30 clients at any one time with about 50 new clients per year as well as continuing the counselling of around 20 others.
The year ends with us, the Trustees ,feeling positive about our future and the service we provide.
