Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 Chairperson's Report l am pleased to report Time2Talk has gone from strength to strength this year delivering for the young people of Daventry and South Northants. Although covid and the lockdowns are behind us. the pandemic still casts a dark shadow for our young people with our counsellors reporting high levels of anxiety and depression. As detailed in And¢s report, here in Daventry and South Northants we cover a wide geographical area which has challenges for both us and our young people. Time2Talk prides itself on ensuring that we offer a mixture of in-person, telephone, and virtual support to ensure we deliver for our young people. In the coming year, we'd like to expand our reach further into the rural areas to give our young people choite and tontrol, if commissioning and funding allows. Time2Talk is one of the smaller of the five agencies and works alongside the other youth courbselling agencies across Northamptonshire, under the umbrella of the REACH partnership. This year we are moving towards formalising the REACH partnership umbrella, in doing so, each agency will not lose their own identity but working together gives us a louder voice and enables us to deliver a consistent service across the county. Although small, we here at Time2Talk are immensely proud of the high-quality counselling and interventions offered by our small team of counsellors, staff, and volunteers. I want to thank them all for their hard work and dedication over the last year. This year l especially wish to thank our wonderful Chief Operating Officer, Andy who sadly lost both his parents recently, therefore I wanted to take a moment to personally thank him from all the trustees for his resilience and dedication to Time2Talk, at what has been a very diff icult year personally. Running a small voluntary sector organisation is not easy. Over the past year, Time2Talk has expanded further its core counselling offer with several new initiatives, Alongside the Rapid Response, Tier 2.5 and Wellbeing drop-in support cafes. Each service provides a slightly different offer, giving young people that all important choice and control. In all our reports over the years we mention the challenge of our accommodation costs, these still remain high and are a burden on our resources. Each year we look creatively at our accommodation and space but with no avail. If anyone does have any ideas or available space, then please do get in touch. I think the main task I must fulfil in this report is to recognise and thank our dedicated team. Our self-employed counsellors,. Eve, julie, Helen, Sarah, and Prem. Ash for continuing the great work around data collection and supporting the wider REACH partnership in this endeavour. Sylvia for her work in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our young people. I must also thank Gordon who continues his methodical analysis and organisation of the accounts and DNG who continue to provide excellent examination of these accounts. Finally, my thanks also to my fellow trustees, Sue and Julie, who have continued to support T2T despite their own difficulties. We'd like to recruit more trustees and I would encourage anyone interested to contact me for further information. Suzy Dion. Chair
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 Chief Officers Annual Report and Review Introduction Time2Talk have thrived for another year delivering top quality services to the young people of Daventry District and South Northamptonshire. This has been no mean feat. Although the pandemic can sometimes feel like a distant memory, the effects it had on all of us and especially young people continue to be felt. The issues that our counsellors face and that are referred into our service by parents, carers, G P's CAMHS, social workers as well as those that self-refer are ever more complex. Referrals still cite the ongoing effects of the pandemic as a contributor towards high levels of debilitating anxiety and for some a general feeling of abject despair for the future. Our small dedicated team of staff and self-employed therapists tackle daily. issues around self- harm, suicidal thoughts, complex relationship breakups, eating disorders, LGBTQ plus and gender issues. along with anxiety that is at such a level it impacts on the daily life not just of the young person but on the wider family. This can contribute towards OCD behaviours and can cause poor attendance at school, college or work and a disengagement in things that can make life better. Alongside this we have the particular issue of rurality in the Daventry district area and in South Northamptonshire the issues are even more stark. Within the REACH collective and commissioninE model of working at a unit cost rate there are challenges. We have a spread out demographic rather than a large footfall on our doorstep and many people that want to access us need to travel to us. We have tried to assist here by maintaining and adding an extra day to our Towcester provision to at least ensure there is something in that area independent of school and accessible. One of the things our counsellors try and encourage is getting out and about and enjoying the fresh air and wonderful countryside this area has to offer. It can be a marvellous de-5tres5 for those able to do this and we are blessed with many public footpaths that criss-cross the area. The Team None of the invaluable life changing work we do would be possible without our great team of people. We thank Ash for his expertise when it comes to data and data monitoring as well as his fantastic admin support when it comes to client waiting lists and assisting with booking self- employed counsellor sessions. Ash has also SUPPOrted REACH college5 when it comes to data related issues. Thanks also to Sylvia for her work supporting the mental health of young people in Daventry and South Northamptonshire. Our small dedicated group of sessional self-employed counsellors. Eve, Julie, Helen, Sarah and Prem give us the flexibility we need to offer services across 6 days a week and during the evenings. And not forgetting Jayne who has been providing clinical supervision for us for many years and at a substantially discounted rate.
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review We thank our management board, all volunteers, Suzy, Sue and Julie for sticking with us and for their expertise when it comes to contracting and attending meetings for that vital extra pair of ears. We thank Gordon our treasurer who has maintained our financial systems, including payroll and pensions. and N l and for preparing the accounts for us and providing regular updates to the trustee5. There aren't that many of us and we all have to be flexible to get the job done. Trustee5 are aware that there is a need to attract new blood onto the board and that remains top of their agenda moving forward. 2023 Services Core Counselling Service This continues to be the main work of the agency. Referrals are steady and we achieve our target against the funding amount which has been broken down by REACH partners as a unit cost per session. Again, issues of rurality, leasing space rather than owing it and lack of access to suitable trainee counsellors can impact on overall costs of service delivery. There are no easy solutions to these issues but we continue to try and seek them. Tier 2.5 funding is for slightly more complex sessions. Again, these sessions are funded as a unit cost per session. This is a relatively new funding stream and we were a bit late starting it as we awaited release of funds. It is ticking over OK. Again. we expect to achieve our target against the funding amount moving forward. Sessions are delivered one to one and face to face but we maintain a remote, over the phone offer which is a terrific help for those that live in remoter parts of this huge rural district. Rapid Response This is for more urgent situations. This funding stream is aimed at providing counselling within a few days of receiving a referral. Referrals are for young people who have presented at A&E sometimes following an attempted suicide or overdose. The young person has been triaged by medical professionals and deemed to be unsuitable for a clinical intervention and are then referred to us to be offered an appointment for counselling within 5 working days. This initiative hits targets against the unit cost model already discussed. Crisis {or emotional) Wellbeing Café Drop-ins This has been running steadily in Daventry for around a year and half and as of January this year in Towcester. The Daventry drop-in operates on a Saturday between 12.-4.00pm and is available for young people and parents to utilise when in need of some emotional support for a situation that could escalate into crisis. Soft drinks and beverages are made available along with light snacks and biscuits. This service isn't the same as a regular counselling service but is staffed by qualified people with an admin person to support. There has to be two qualified staff alongside the admin person for
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 each cafe. All service delivery staff undergo training to undertake the role including safeguarding and storm training. To date some really heavy issues have presented at the café and valuable support given along with referra15 either into our general counselling services or to higher level services where appropriate. The Towcester café service operates on Wednesday between 4.00 and 8.00pm along the same line5. This 15 Still in its early. pilot stages and we will report more on that in the next annual report. Happier Families We've had real problems with this initiative trying to encourage families to engage, getting training for the staff and various other things that impacted on it. We delivered the drop-in element but the actual programme that required families to sign up to six sessions, became increasingly difficult to offer. In agreement with the funder we have agreed to terminate this and will be reallocating unspent funds to Youthworks at some point thi5 year. We can then continue to focus on the amazing work we continue to deliver. Drop-in Services In addition to the emotional wellbeing cafes for which no appointment is needed, we do still maintain drop-in provision for low level sexual health work and also for the food bank and static needle exchange service. Although numbers accessing it are very low, it is still a part of the service. The new teen clinic in Daventry runs once a month in the town so there are alternatives and we may revisit launching something fresh in the future. This work isn't funded directly anyway however supplies are provided by the sexual health team. This is one aspect of the service that failed to recover post covid. Data We are required to process data on behalf of the NHS so we maintain our ICO certificate at tier I which covers the nature of the data we have. You will see some core data within the annual review section of the report that relates to numbers and demographics and presenting issues. We also maintain our NHS digital security toolkit which is updated annually along with our information commissioner's office certification. REACH Collaboration The REACH Collaboration that comprises Time2Talk, Youthworks in Kettering. Lowdown in Northampton, Service Six in Wellingborough and Chat in Ound le continues to work together in the county. At the time of writing, the NHS commissioners still require REACH to become a legally constituted body in order to flow all funds through the REACH entity. REACH is now looking at establishing itself as a CIC.
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 This won't affect Time2Talk as an independent charity this would be a separate entity that will be made up of all our various boards. This will be explored further in the 2023-4 financial year period. For now Time2Talk are contracted to del iver the core counselling contract directly with the NHS with other NHS initiatives lead by the larger REACH agencies with greater capacity. For example, Lowdown lead on the rapid response and emotional wellbeing drop-in's and Service six lead on the tier 2.5 support. A Note on Funds DNG have streamlined our accounts to be in line with the other REACH agencies and it could appear that we carry substantial unrestricted funds. Although u nrestricted, the opening balance of £159,061 includes the following commitment5. A balance of £32,223.00 is to be reallocated to the Lowdown as agreed by REACH. £19,000 will be returned to Youthworks as a redistribution of happier families funding, £48,302.00 is committed towards delivering the agencies objectives. The free reserves of £59,536.00 includes redundancy and rent commitments of £38,000 in the event of closure leaving £21,536 to be used on overspends. Finally We have all faced many challenges over the last year, both individually and as an organisation but our key driver is doing our best to maintain a local service that young people trust and know. There have been radical changes to the administration of Northamptonshire and we must do our best to ensure that the smaller but Still very well populated rural districts keep as many services as possible. As ever if there are any questions we can be contacted in the office. Andy Nixon Chief Operating Officer.
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 Data and Information Report I'm responsible for submitting data to the N HS for our various projects, this includes the core, tier 2.5, rapid response and the emotional wellbeing cafés. This encompasses a variety of information such as the number of referrals into the service, sessions delivered, DNA rates and client feedback and is used by NHS Northamptonshire for their monitoring. Additionally, l also send data to NHS England as part of their Mental Health Services Data Set, this contributes to nationwide statistics for NHS funded services and is used for both local and national performance measurement, research. auditing and service planning. Thi5 data is a little more complex and includes more comprehensive statistics on the sessions themselves. The number of referrals increases every year and this past year we received 373 referrals for our NHS funded projects. 333 for core and tier 2.5 and 40 for rapid response for a total of 2,807 sessions of counselling. We also received 2 Aspire Higher referrals, which ended this year. for a total of 375 counselling referrals. Alongside our counselling, 93 people attended our emotional wellbeing cafes in Daventry and our new Towcester drop-in, which started in January. Numbers of people attending the café increased throughout the year and Towcester café has had a promising start with number5 attending already comparable to the Daventry café. Client Location Above is the county of Northamptonshire las seen on the front of this report). the areas in red are the former Daventry and South Northamptonshire Districts that Time2Talk cover. Just over half of our 375 referrals come from three main towns, Daventry, Brackley and Towcester, the remaining were from smaller villages across what used to be the Daventry District and South Northa mptonshire. For many of these villages we will only get l or 2 referrals a year showcasing both the vast number of locations and the rural nature of the area we cover. io-

Self-harm can include cutting, the picking at or scratching of skin, hitting yourself or walls, hair pulling and many other methods. Suicidal thoughts are also high. with 82 people reporting them on referral but it is important to distinguish between thoughts and intention as many people can suffer from suicidal thoughts but have no intention to ever act on them.

Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 A Therapeutic Counsellors Perspective l joined the organisation in September 1998 as a volunteer. A year later, in 1999,1 was employed as an Outreach Development Worker. After a number of years, I became an NHS employee but still donated time to the agency. After my retirement from the NHS, I became a Trustee for Time2Talk and since March 20211 also work as a self-employed counsellor. My last few years Wlth the NHS were working at CAMHS (Northamptonshirel as Pathway Lead for Gender Identity and Sexuality. Using my experience in this role, I now see many of the young people with Gender Identity who are referred in to Time2Talk. The number has increased in the last few years, in line with the National figures for Gender Dysphoria. l am seeing an increase in referrals for anxiety, family problems, phobias and low mood, which may be an effect of the Covid lockdown experience and also the concern over the war in Ukraine. Many of the issues that we are facing in this country have been beyond our control and have provoked anxiety in adults, which in turn affects our young people. Time2Talk has always been a fantastic place to work where I feel supported and valued and although the agency is small, in comparison with many other Youth Counselling agencies in the county, its services are still available to young people living across the old Daventry and South Northamptonshire region. These areas now form part of the West Northamptonshire county boundary. I have enjoyed working with committed and hard-working staff and volunteers, with the emphasis on providing a high quality of service to our young people and theirfamilies. Post-covid, we continue offering zoom and telephone appointments, alongside face to face appointments. These methods of working are still vital for young people living in remoter rural areas who lack public transport. Julie Luvaglio Therapeutic Counsellor/ Trustee 13
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 Counsellor and Towcester Service Manager Report This report will provide an outline of work undertaken, and developments made in the post of Counsellor and Towcester Service Manager in the period up to April 2023. The i55ues young people face are wide-ranging and includes, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, exam pressure, bullying, phobias, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, personal relationship, peer pressure, gender identity, internet bullying, self-harm, eating disorders, bereavement, sexuality, homophobia, family and relationship problems, domestic violence, abuse lemotional, sexual and physicall, sexual assault. puberty, racism, body image, this is what some of my clients are coping with. Daventry l am in the office every morning from Monday to Thursday, as well as all day on Tuesday and Thursday, where I will see clients for counselling face to face, over WhatsApp or on the telephone. When l am not seeing clients, l am keeping my paperwork up to date and making sure that I have done my stats for each month so that they can be recorded. l also help out with the drop-in service and answering the phone when needed. The Chantry The Time2Talk Towcester service opening times are Mondays from 12pm to 5.15pm and Wednesday from 12pm to 4pm. Except for Bank Holidays, Easter and Christmas. We now have two members of staff, myself and Eve, at The Chantry in Towcester. The Chantry has been very busy with every session slot full, so although we have a waiting list, it is being managed well. We also have referrals, not just from Towcester, but from Brackley, Banbury, Milton Keynes and the surrounding villages. I would just like to say a big thankyou to all the staff at The Chantry for their support and especially to Rhona all the best for her retirement. Clients Clients will normally have six to eight sessions but sometimes will go to a maximum of twelve. I have to keep an eye on the sessions but sometimes we do need to give extra support as issues can change with clients very quickly so these extra sessions can benefit the young person or can be useful if they are waiting to see CAMHS. Towcester Wellbeing Café We also launched our new Towcester drop-in in January. The drop-in starts as soon as our counselling sessions end, running every Wednesday 4pm till 8pm. with last entry at 7'.30pm. I have also been busy shopping purchasing mood lighting, games, fidget toys, stress balls, puzzle5 books and colouring pens and books for the young people using the drop-ins. As well as drinks 14-
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 and snacks so that we are always fully stocked up to make our client5 feel welcome and have plenty of activities to use.

Although cowd and the lockdowns are behind us, the pandemic Still casts a dark shadow for our young people with our counsellors reporting high levels of anxiety and depression. As detsiled in Andy's report, here in Daventry and South Northants, we cover a wide geographical area which has challenges for both our young people and us. Time2Talk prides itself on ensuring that we offer a mixture of in-person, telephone, and virtual support to ensure we deliver for our young people. In the coming year, we'd like to expand our reach further into the rural areas to give our young people choice and control if commissioning and funding allows.

This yè8r wè ar8 moving towards fomalising thè REACH partnership umbrèlla, In doing $0, each agency will not lose their own identity but working together gives us 8 loud8r voic8 and enables us to delivèr 3 consistent service across thè county. though small we here at Time2Talk are immensely proud of the high-quality counselling and interventions offered by our small team of counsellors, staff, and volunteers. I want to thank them all for their hard worf( and dedication over the last year. This year l especially wish to thank our wonde1 Chief Operating Officer, Andy who sadly 1051 both his parents recently, therefore I wanted to lake a moment to personally thank him from all the Iruslees for hi5 resilience and dedication lo Time2Talk, at what has been a very difficult year personally.

Each service provides a slightly different offer, giving young people that all important choice and control. In all our repDrts over the years we mention the challenge of our aCcommodatn costs, these still remain high and are a burden on our resources. Each year we look creatively at our accommodation and space but with no avail. If anyone does have any ideas or available space, then please do get in touch. I think the main task I musl fulfil in this report 15 to recognise and thank our dedicated team. Our Se-emPloYed coun5ellor5', Eve, Julie, Helen, Sarah, and Prem. Ash for continuing the great work around data collection and supporting the wider REACH partnership in this endeavour. Sylvia for her work in supporting the mentsl health and wellbeing of our young people. I must also thank Gordon who continues his mglhodic418nalysis and organisalion of the a¢¢ounts and DNG who continuè to providè èxcellènt examination of these accounts. Finally, my thanks also to my fellow trustees. Sue 8nd Julie, who have continued to support T2T despite their own difficulties. We'd like to recruit more trustees and I would encourage anyone interested to contact me for further information. Suzy Dion Chair 23-
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 Page 5 TIME2TALK YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERS ANNUAL REPORT Introduction Time2Talk have thrived for another year delivering lop quality services lo the young people of Daventry District and South Northamptonshire. This has been no mean feat. Although the pandemic can sometimes feel like a distant memory, the effects il had on all of us and especially young people continue to be felt. The issues that our counsellors face and that are referred into our service by parents, carers, GP'S CAMHS, social workers as well as those that self-refer are ever more complex. Referrals still Cite the ongoing effects of the pandemic as a Contributor towards high levels of debilitsling anxiety and for some a general feeling of abject despair for the future. Our small dedicated team of staff and self-employed therapists tackle daily, issues around self-harm, suicidal thoughts, complex relationship breakups, eating disorders, LGBTQ plus and gender issues, along with anxiety that is at such a level it impacts on the daily life not just of the young person but on the wider family. This can contribute towards OCD behaviours and can cause poor attendance at school, college 01 work and a disengagement in things that can make life better. Alongside this we have the particular isstje of ruralily in the Daventy district area and in South Northamptonshire the issues are even more stark. Within the REACH collective and commissioning mt)del of working at a unrt ¢osl rale there are Challenges. We have a spread out demographi¢ mlher than a large fOOall on our doorstep and many people that want to access us need lo travel to us. We have tried to assist here by maintsining and adding an extra day to our Towcester provision to at least ensure there is something in that area independent of school and aeSsIble. In fact, this year for the first time and to help demonstrate our ongoing commitment to South Northamptonshire we are holding our AGM in the historic Chanty house in the ntre of Towcester. One of the things our counsellors try and encourage is getting out and about and enjoying the fresh air and wonderful countyside this area has to offer. It can be a marvellous de-stress for those able to do this and we are blessed with many public footpaths that criss-cross the area. The team None of the invaluable life changing work we do would be possible wf(houl our great team of people. We thank Ash for his expertise when it comes to data and data monitoring as well as his fantastic admin support when il comes to Client waiting lists and assisting with booking self-employed counsellor sessions. Ash has a150 SUPPOrted REACH college5 when it comes to data related issues. Thanks also to Sylvia for her work supporting the mental health of young people in Daventy and South Northamplonshire. Our small dedicated group of sessional self-employed counsellors, Eve, Julie, Helen, Sarah and Prem give us the flexibility we need to offer services across 6 days a week and during the evenings. And not forgetting Jayne who has been providing clinical supervision for us for many years and at a substantially discounted rate. We thank our management board, all volunteers, Suzy, Sue and Julie for sticking with us and for their expertise when it comes to contracting and attending meetings for that vitsl extra pair of ears. We thank Gordon our treasUr who has maintained our financial systems, including payroll and pensions, and Nl and for preparing the accounts for us and providing regular updates to the trustees. There aren t that many of us and we all have to be flexible to get the job done. Trustees a awa that there is a need lo attract new blood onto the board and that remains lop of their agenda moving forward. 24-
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 TIME2TALK Page 6 YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERS ANNUAL REPORT Icontinuedl Services Core counselling service. This continues to be the main work of the agency. Referrals are steady and we achieve our target against the funding amount which has been broken down by REACH partners as a unit cost per session. Again, issues of rurality, leasing space rather than owing it and lack of access to suitable trainee counsellors can irnpact on overall costs of service delwery. There are no easy solutions to these issues but we continue to try and seek them. TEr 2.5 funding is for slighlly more complex sessions. Again, these Sessions are funded as a unil cost per session. This is a relatively new funding stream and we were a bil late starting il as we awaited release of fund5. It 15 ticking over OK. Again, we expe¢l lo achieve our largel against the funding amount moving foard. Sessions are delivered one to one and ts¢e lo face bul we m8inlain a mole, over the phone offer which is a terrific help for those that live in remoter parts of this huge rural district. Rapid Response This is for more urgent situations. This funding stream is aimed at providing counselling within a few days of receiving a referral. Referrals are for young people who have presented at A & E sometimes following an attempted suicide or overdose. The young person has been triaged by medical professionals and deemed to be unsuitable for a clinical intervenlion and are then referred to us to be offered an appointment lor counselling within 5 working day5. This initiative hits targets against the unil cost model already discussed. Crisis lor emotionall wellbeing café drop-ins. This has been running steadily in Oaventry for around a year and half and as of January this year in Towcester. The Daventry drop-in operates on a Saturday behveen 12.4.00pm and is available for young people and parents to utilise when in need of some emotDnal support for a sf(uation that could escalate into crisis. Soft drink5 and beverages are made available along with light snacks and bi5cuf(s. This Service isn't the same a5 a regular coun5elling service but is 51affed by qualified people wth an admin person lo support. There has lo be two qualified staff alongside the admin person for each café. All service delivery staff undergo training lo undertake the role including safeguarding and storm training. To date some really heavy issues have presented at the café and valuable support given along with referrals either into our general counselling services or to higher level services where appropriate. The Towcester café service operates on Wednesday between 4.00 and 8.00pm along the same lines. This is still in its early, pilot stages and we will report more on that in the next annual report. Happier Families We've had real problems with this inf(iative trying to encourage families to engage, getting training for the staff and variou5 Other things that impacted on it. We delivered the drop-in element but the actual programme that required families to sign up to six session5, became increasingly difficult to offer. In agreement with the funder we have agreed to terminate this and will be reallocating unspent fund5 to Youth works at some point this year. We can then continue to focus on the amazing work we continue to deliver. Drop-in SekViC8S In addition to the emotional well being cafes for which no appointment is needed, we do still maintain drop-in provision for low level sexual health work and also for the food bank and static needle exchange service. Although numbers accessing it are very low, it is still a part of the service. The new teen clinic in Daventry runs once a month in the town so there are alternatives and we may revisit launching something fresh in the future. This work isn't funded directly anyway however supplies are provided by the sexual health team. This is one aspect of the service that failed to recover post covid. 25-
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2023 TIME2TALK Page 7 YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERS ANNUAL REPORT Icontinuedl Data. We are required to process data on behalf of the NHS so we maintain our ICO certrficate at tier 1 which covers the nature of the data we have. You will see some core data within the annual review section of the report that relates to numbers and demographics and presenting issues. We also maintain our NHS digital security toolkit which is updated annually along with our information commissioner's office certification. REACH collaboration. The REACH Collaboration that comprises Time2Talk, Youthworks in Kettering, Lowdown in Northampton, Service six in Wellingborough and Chat in Oundle continues to work together in the county. At the time of writing. the NHS commissioners still require REACH to become a legally constituted body in order to flow all funds through the REACH entity. REACH is now looking at establishing itself as a CIC. This won't affect Time2Talk as an independent charrty this would be a separate entity that will be made up of all our various boards. This will be explored further in the 2023-4 financial year period. For ow Time2Talk are contracted to deliver the core counselling contract directly with the NHS with other NHS initiatives lead by the larger REACH agencies with greater capacity. For example, Lowdown lead on the rapid response and emotional well being drop-in's and Service six lead on the tier 2.5 support. Finally We have all faced many challenges over the last year, both individually and as an organisation but our key driver is doing our best to maintain a local service that young people trust and know. There have been radical changes to the administration of Northamptonshire and we must do our best to ensure that the smaller but still very well populated rural districts keep as many services as possible. As ever if there are any questions we can be contacted in the office. Andrew Nixon BA IHonsl MBE Chief Operaling OffIr 26-
