OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The Objectives of College of Healing are as follows:

To relieve sickness by the advancement of education of persons seeking to provide treatment for patients suffering from physical and psychological illness and disabilities and, in particular, in so far as the same shall be efficacious to achieve such relief, to promote in conjunction with orthodox medical practice systems of healing complementary to it.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

The Trustees have considered the charity commission’s guidance on public benefit and explain below in more detail the charity’s consideration.

The College has a track record of helping people in their self development and awareness to live happier and more purposeful lives.

Our graduates have been trained to a high standard and they, in turn, have gone into society helping and supporting patients to improve the quality and direction of their lives by enjoying better health. The College of Healing is an educational charity established in 1983 with the purpose of teaching healing.

The College is committed to:

Function of Trustees : to ensure that the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the charity are being fulfilled; there is a legal duty to make sure that charity is financially viable and to ensure accounts are kept and charity law followed; to ensure that the workings of the Management Committee is on track with the aims and objectives of the Charity; to act if need be as a sounding board or in a mentoring capacity.

Structure

During the period covered by this report there were 6 trustees, named above.

The trustees meet at least 4 times during the year.

The day to day running of the Charity is managed by the Management Committee which meets once per month or more often if necessary. This Committee consists of 2 members, one of whom is also a Trustee. Additional volunteer members for the Management Committee are being sought.

Educational matters are discussed by a Tutors Group which meets several times a year.

The Trustees, Management Committee and Tutors Group all circulate agendas and notes of meetings to each other for information.

2

College of Healing Limited For the Year Ended 31[st] March 2024

Management is carried out by the Management Committee which usually meets once per month. The Administrator attends for part of these meetings. The Administrator carries out decisions made by the Management Committee

Administration is carried out by a paid Administrator who is self-employed and reports both to the Management Committee and the Trustees.

Recruitment of Trustees

Trustees are recruited by specific invitation of individuals considered by the other Trustees to be suitable.

Activities and objectives in the year

The College is an educational charity whose core aim is to deliver healing courses, i.e. to deliver education in healing and cascading out information and experience. We are not a charity that is carrying out healing, however membership and disseminating healing (advanced healing group) form part of the basic aims and objectives.

Achievements and performance, including public benefit

During the year 1[st] April 2023 – 31[st] March 2024

The College completed running a 2-year Practitioner course 2021-2023 with 12 students registered. The final practical assessment of this cohort took place in April 2023.

The College started a new 2-year Practitioner course 2023-2025 with 10 students registered.

The College supported the provision of 7 Foundation Courses. These are 4-day Foundation courses to Energy and Spiritual Healing which are available to anyone with an interest in Healing to attend, run by facilitators accredited by the College and which help to recruit students for the Practitioner Course. The College does not run these courses but supports them administratively.

The College ran a 6-day Advanced Healing Module 1 “Working with Advanced Healing Techniques” during the course of this year, attended by 6 students. Advanced Healing Modules can act as CPD for professional Healing practitioners.

The College completed running a 2-year Tutor Training Course with 6 participants and provided a follow-up Tutor Development day in March 2024. The intention is to continue to run Tutor Development days on a quarterly basis.

The College ran 4 one-day CPD courses during this period:

Yin Polarity Workshops 1, 2 and 3 (June 2023, December 2023, March 2024) (approx 12 participants for each day)

Soul Midwives & Storytelling day (September 2023) (7 in-person attendees plus 4 online attendees)

The College continued to run a monthly Advanced Healing Group of senior healers offering distance healing to anyone who requests it via our website. Recipients are encouraged to support this work via donations to the College but this is not obligatory.

Two Magazines were published during the year for Members and Friends of the COHMA (College of Healing Membership Association).

College of Healing Limited For the Year Ended 31[st] March 2024

Financial review including any debts and details of reserves policy

There has been an increase in income compared with the previous year, mainly in the fees received for provision of Practitioner Courses, Advanced Modules and CPD events.

The total increase in income compared with the previous year was approx. £7,000.00

There were no significant variances in overall costs from the previous year.

Therefore in contrast to the previous year there was an overall surplus in funds of approx £1,300 in comparison to an overall deficit in funds of approx £6,000 the previous year.

The College continues to develop a range of suitable merchandise for sale either at events or courses, or online. Growth in this area is slow.

There are no debts. The reserves fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results. Our policy is to build up reserves by means of annual operating surpluses if possible.

General funds are currently in credit. At the end of the year current reserves were at £31,714 (2023: £30,416).

Funds held as a custodian trustee

There are no funds held as a custodian trustee.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of College of Healing Limited

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) 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 required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 any 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 statements below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
