It has also been a very challenging year for our clients who have had to cope with periods of lockdown and isolation, increased financial pressures with inflation rising, and the gradual return to a life where covid restrictions have ended, but with it still very much with us. During the year we have seen the appointment of a new Director, a new Treasurer and many changes in our counsellors and supervisors. We have also experienced turnover within our Trustees, with some long serving Trustees moving on and new ones joining. I, myself joined ACC as a Trustee in the summer and replaced Anna Barnard as Chair in November. My thanks go to her particularly, for her amazing contribution to ACC over many years in various roles. Despite these various challenges we have kept the show on the road, with many clients being seen both face to face and virtually using technology and by maintaining a steady stream of income through client donations whilst effectively managing our costs. This has all been achieved due to the fantastic contributions of our volunteers across the board in all roles, both past and present, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees I express my thanks to all concerned. This small charity has to date depended on people gifting their time and expertise to help others in need, and whilst we will continue to be grateful for whatever support people can provide, over the coming years we need to focus on our systems, procedures and processes, to enable ACC to continue to help those in the local community who need our support, by doing this on a firmer footing. Andrew Kelly – Chair of Trustees 28/06/2022 ARUN COUNSELLING CENTRE ## Treasurers Report Income was in excess of £36,000 for the year despite the Covid epidemic and considerable organisational change. In October 2021 Arun Counselling Centre (ACC) required a new computer system as the previous system saw it’s end of life. This also pathed the way for a new software and telephony system and increased professional costs. This coupled with a number of Trustee’s resigning, old volunteers leaving and many new starters, the financial year of 2021/2022 has been costly both financially and personally. However, a small surplus of £879 was the final result. Liquidity has been healthy despite the epidemic and organisational change this year. We expect the financial year of 2022/2023 to also be a year of change however, we hope costs won’t be so high where we organise our operation. ACC’s reserves policy is in place and is constantly reviewed.
