The year in context
Year 1- Transformation12022-231
Facing a challenging financial outlook, Network undertook significant change in 2022-23. We launched
a fundraising appeal, introduced payment for counselling, closed the counsellor volunteering
programme and invested in strengthening our database and systems. These steps laid the foundations
for a more stsble and sustainable future.
Year 2- Consolidation1202>24)
Ne￿Ork focused on strengthening core operations. We improved client payment systems, streamlined
processes, enhanced counsellor induction and began fostering a healthier organisational culture with
greater allenlion lo preventing burnout. We also launched the Access Fund, expanding affordable
access to counselling.
Year 3- Growth12024-25)
Continuing to build on the progress of the previous two years, this year has seen an emphasis on
development. We have grown our counselling Servi￿$, updated our leaching curriculum and continued
to upgrade our systems. We have also been building relationships with other counselling organisalions
across the city.
The year in numbers-
3,299 Counselling sessions
50 Counsellors
90 Students lolal over all courses
980/9 of clients rale us Excellent or Very Good
9am-1 Opm opening limes
400/0 growth in room hire
250 sessions at £5 Access Fund
4 networking events hosted
Training
This year saw Network continue to provide high quality training at all levels. Introductory evening
courses proved popular, teaching the basics of listening skills and the Person-centred approach. Our
sold-out Advanced Certific8le equipped students with high levels of counselling skills. And our two-year
Advanced Diploma course prepared students to be professional counsellors. This included theory,
practice and the deep personal development needed lo work with vulnerable people and challenging
issues. In October 2024 we saw 16 diploma students graduate, ready lo take their first steps as
professional counsellors.
Significant work was done on refreshing our curriculum, ensuring that we continue lo prepare
counsellors for a changing world. We reviewed the language and case studies and wrote new content
on power and privilege. Tutor Louise Mill rewrote a module on farth and former lulor Emma Duncan
spent lime benchmarking our curriculum against the most recent professional frameworks.
How we measure success
Both our certificate and diploma courses are checked by external professional bodies, ensuring that
we are meeting the highest standards. Again this year we were praised by the BACP and the NCPS
for the quality of our leaching and learning.

NEfwoRK COUNSELLING AND TRAINING LIMITED
TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
We also gather student feedback..
"The tutors are very knowledgeable and their unique backgrounds offer a great balgncg of experignce
and expertise for aspiring counsellors lo leam from."
'The course is really well structured. The knowledge we learn is acquired gr&du&lly at a good pace so
that it never seems overwhelming. The course tutors are wonderfull"
Challenge.. Student recruitment
This year we have struggled to fill our Advanced Diploma course again. Despite investing in a Google
Ads campaign, we saw a lack ofapproprigte applicants. We have continued to work on this area and
hope for a larger Cohort next year.
Counselling
This year, Network has provided more counselling than ever before - 3,299 sessions of high quality,
one-to-one work.. 200A more sessions than last year. In total we've supported over 300 individual clients.
To achieve this there has been steady beh1nd-lhe-s￿neS development work. Clients can now use OLJr
website lo directly book initial assessments, then quickly gel allocated a counsellor- so more people
in crisis are getting help sooner. We have also opened the building for longer,. Monday to Friday, 9am
to 1 Opm. We are finding increasing numbers of clients wanting to come in the evenings.
One of the main reasons we have grown is the great work our Clinical Lead has put into recruiting
external students for our placement. We now have students coming from a number of well-respected
local universities and colleges for a placement here al Network. This really boosts our capacity to deliver
8fford8ble counselling sessions.
To manage the growing counselling department, we have implemented regular caseload management
meetings with each individual student counsellor. This allows adds value to our placement - we are
beller able lo support and advise Irainee counsellors. At the same lime, we can beller understand the
needs of our clients, and hear the stories of transformation.
We have continued lo use our Access Fund to provide heavily subsidised counselling sessions to those
who need it most. This year 7.5 /0 of our sessions cost clients just £5. We are so grateful to funders who
have priorilised this, enabling us lo help clients who have run into financial difficulli8s, or who live on
extremely low incomes.
How we measure success
We continue to use the well-respected Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale to measure the
impact on our clients, lives. 98 /0 of clients report that their life has changed for the better- and almosl
60 % say that they have seen 'a great deal, of positive change. And 800/¢ of our clients tell us they would
recommend us to a friend or family member.
In addition, we love to collect informal feedback..
"The sessions helped me through the worst months of my life.. I cany thank my counsellor enough."
'When I began coming lo Network, I was feeling utterly desperate, desol8le 8nd despairing.. six
months later I was a transformed person."
"My counsellor did morg for me in 6 weeks than anyone has done in my life.
'It has been life changing for me.

Challenge.. complex client work
This year we saw a significant rise in the complexity and severity of the issues clients brought to
Counselling. More people than ever came lo us presenting with trauma, childhood sexual abuse,
neurodiversity and mental illness. These are no longer specialist exceptions but rather 8 regular part of
our caseload.
Other achievements
Networking
This year we have estsblished ourselves as a hub for counselling charities across Bristol by hosting a
quarterly meel-up. This an idea developed by Operations Manager June Heath. It is a high value
meeting- allowing us lo share best practice, swap practical lips, and also encourage and support each
other. Over the year, we have seen representatives from 20 different charities.
Developing teamwork
This year the leadership team has grown a strong sense of teamwork. Meeting together weekly, we
have built healthy working relationships and are abl8 to support each other and work together to meet
challenges and plan the future of the organisalion.
Looking ahead
Continue - We will continue with what makes Network special.. We will continue lo deliver high quality,
professionally recognised training, keeping up with the profession-wide SCOPED change process. We
will continue to provide low-cosl counselling to as many people as we can, listening and supporting
them as they deal with life's biggest challenges. And we will continue lo look for ways to make our
systems more efficient and effective.
Celebrate - We look forward to celebrating our 401h anniversary in March 2026.
Grow- We will look for opportunities to grow Network's impact. That may be through developing new
training offers, through increasing our counselling capacity or through finding new ways to partner with
and support others across the city and region.
Financial Review
This year has seen a 15 10 growth in income compared lo last year. This has been due to a significant
increase in our counselling income and room hire income, as well as a modest rise in our training
income.

On the expenditure side, we have been able to control our spending despite rising costs across the
year. As a result we have generated a surplus which we will hold in reserve for future costs. This means
Network can report that il is a going concern. We hold enough cash to meet immediate expenses and
have a steady income across a number of streams. We hold reserves in line with our reserves policy..
Reserves policy.. The TrLJStees' approved reserves policy is to hold £45,000 - three months, payroll -
in reserve. Our cash reserves met this policy at all limes during the year. We review this policy annually.
Thanks
Finally, we would like to thank all who have made this year possible..
Trusts and grants including Benefact, National Lottery Awards for All, Quartet and The Grace Trust.
We are particul8rly grateful to the smaller trusts who faithfully support us through the years.. Four Winds
Trust, Fitton Trust, Leonard Laity Sloate Charitable Trust, and Lambury Charitable Trust.
Supporters who have made generous donations lo our work or upheld us in prayer.
Staff team including managers, tutors and administrators. And our freelancers who assess clients,
supervise students and teach evening classes. Their can-do allilude means we can respond lo new
challenges.
Counsellors - both Network students and those studying elsewhere. Their week-by-week dedication
and skill makes a tangible difference in the lives of our clients.
