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

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.

Presenting Issues
Anxiety and low mood are the most common issues that young people record on their referral.
However, self-harm is also high with 104 of the 375 clients reporting some form of self-harm on
referral. 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. After that family issues and school pressure are the
next biggest issues young people report.

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.

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

and snacks so that we are always fully stocked up to make our client5 feel welcome and have
plenty of activities to use.
Supervision
Thankyou Jayne for your support which has enabled me to have positive outcomes with my
clients which I have shared with my clients. So again, thank you for your support over this last
year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
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 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.
Time2Talk is one of the smallei of the five 8gtrn¢ies and works alongside the other youth
counselling agen¢ies a¢ross North8mplonshire, under the umbrella of the REACH p8rtntrrship.
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 wonde￿1 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. Running a small voluntary se¢lor org8nisation is not easy.
Over the past ytrar, Time2Talk has expandtrd further ts ¢ore ¢ounselling offer wrth several new
initiatives, including, Rapid ResFX)nse, Tier 2.5 and Wellbeing drop-in support ¢afes. 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 aCcommodat￿n 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.

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 fOO￿all 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 a￿eSsIble. 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 treasU￿r 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.

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 fo￿ard. 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.

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.

Governance Costs
Includes costs ol the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the cost of trustee
meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees in govemance or eonstitutional matters.
Tangiblè Fixèd assèts for USÈ by Charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are
valued at cost or if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided at the
following rates to write off all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives..
Office equipment
25% on cost
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
The selection of these residual val(Jes and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The
directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value
of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The
directors consider that the individual carrying values ol assets are 5UPPOrtable by their value in use
Financial instrumènts
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short
term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Oebtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are
recorded al transaction price. Any losses arising from impairrnent are recognised in the statement
of financi81 activit￿5.
Going Concem
The Trustees have considered a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial
