Time2Talk Annual Report and Review Chairperson's Report 2025 l am pleased to report that Time2Talk has had another successful year providing services for the young people in Daventry and surrounding South Northants. AndWs comprehensive COO report outlines the exact details, and I will provide an over-arching review of the highlights in my report. As always, T2T faces many uncertainties both financial and within the health of the team providing the 5ervice5. Furthermore, there has been a grovrth in demand with an increase in the complexity of the issues requiring help. The T2T team is a small, tightly knit unit - 3 members of staff working out of a compact office space in the Abbey Building and managing services provided by themselves and the 6 self- employed counsellors working with T2T. With these limited resources they provide services across a rural area covering almost half the county. Face to face provision occurs in Daventry and Towcester and a vital remote service provides wider cover. Rurality remains a key factor in the difficulties faced providing sep4ices and impacts hugely on the costs encountered by T2T. I think the main task of the Chairperson's Report is to recognise and thank the team for all their dedication and hard work. Firstly, Andy, our COO. I must extend huge thanks to Andy as he continues to work hard, dedicating time and energy to continuing to provide a high-quality counselling service as well as managing the other activities he has outlined in his own report. It is no small feat to accomplish this with the level of resources T2T receives and the impact of the costs of rurality and office rental. He continues to spend a lot of his time seeking alternative funding and grants. I must also thank Ash, a data genius with national recognition, who works hard for T2T and in SUPPOrting the wider REACH partnership. Sylvia. who has worked tirelessly with T2T for many years to provide high qualitycounselling and supportforouryoung people both here in Daventry and in Towcester. Our group of self-employed counsellors; Julie, Eve, Sarah, Prem, and Lynsey and volunteercounsellor Corrinne. A special mention here forjulie-who is not onlya counsellor but also volunteers as a Trustee and quietly provides T2T with a huge amount of support-thank you. A big thank you to Gordon for his continued patience, professionalism and dedication in working on our accounts and providing such excellent reports and to Shaw Gibbs accountants for providing the independent examining of these accounts. Finally, my thanks to my fellow trustees- Suzy and Julie. They have remained dedicated to their roles despite many difficulties, and I want to thankthem forthe flexibility and support they have demonstrated in keeping this small band of trustees operating. Trustees are seemingly becoming a rare breed and if anyone reading this can spare some time to join our team, please do contact one of us, or Andy. Thank you. Dr Sue Davies Chairperson
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 Chief Officers Annual Report and Review Introduction and acknowledgments. We faced another challenging year of uncertainties, and a growing demand on our services. The area we cover is vast with almost half the county falling in our area of operation. Rurality and rural issues play a big part along with parents who don't have cars or decent access to the internet. One of our team was recovering from cancer and our service user caseload continues to present ever more complex issues for our dedicated team. We can't thank our small team enough for staying with it. rising to the challenge and delivering great services for the young people we are here to support. Sylvia continues to support young people in Daventry and Towcester. We are in Towcester two days and one evening each week and supporting Sylv on Mondays our volunteer counsellor Corrinne and sessional counsellor Lyndsey who covers Daventry as well, ensure even more sessions can be covered. Sessional counsellors Eve and Sarah who also sUPPOrt Daventry seniice delivery, support our rural Towcester service on Weds and l am there helping to cover the Weds evening drop-in. Prem our remote counsellor based in Brackley has a steady stream of clients for whom a remote service is preferable. This enable's young people in remoter rural locations and who would otherwise struggle to access emotional wellbeing support, to engage in the service. A stalwart of Time2Talk, Julie who bring5 a wealth of experience working for CAHMS in the past cover5 many sessional slots each week in Daventry. Thanks to them all. Thanks also to Ash our superb data and information officer. We are required to submit regular data reports into the REACH partnership and also into NHS England. It's a complicated process that requires meticulous attention to detail and Time2Talks MHSDS date is always top in the entire country for quality. That's no mean feat. Alongside thi5 Ash provides admin support for our counsellors helping to ensure referrals are allocated quickly. Our counsellors are required to do their own admin which involves maintaining data sets and core scores along with booking in client's but we help out with that of course and l am always available for any and all safeguarding concerns or queries. We have to thanks Jane who has been ably providing clinical supervision forour counsellingteam for many years. Clinical supervision is a vital part of the therapeutic support offer. All counsellors working with us must and do have this at least once each month, more if needed and we really appreciate the experience and professionalism she brings to the table. Time2Talk remain organisational members of BACP. Last but by no means least our brilliant trustees who are small in number but remain dedicated to Time2Talk. Sue Davies, Suzy Dion and Julie Luvaglio, thank you for staying with us. As volunteers it's a big ask and one you take on without complaint. Our volunteertreasurer Gordon continues to provide exceptional services to Time2Talk, preparing our accounts for examination, keeping our books in order and maintaining payroll, and invoice payments including PAYE and pensions. All this is done free of charge. Thank you. I meet with Gordon at least weekly and Gordon provides regular finance reports for the trustees to ensure they are fully informed when it comes to finances.
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 The REACH collaboration Time2Talk remain a key player in the REACH collaboration. A network of like-minded agencies delivering services for young people across Northamptonshire. We'd all known each other for many years, we came together more formally though as a result of commissioning pressures with the ICB, Public Health and the local authority wanting a single point of commissioning rather than to commission 5 different agencies. Although REACH has been formally established, Youth Works in Kettering remain 'lead provider, however we retain our contract with the NHS for the core counselling work, with the Lowdown in Northampton holding the funds for emotional wellbeing drop-in's and rapid response and LGBTQ plus groups. Serdice 6 retain the funds for tier 2.5 counselling. We invoice those agencies directly for our share of the funds. Drop-in and LGBTQ group are paid for per sessions delivered, counselling services are worked out at a unit cost per head something we do struggle with. We cover a vast largely rural area with a much smaller share of the resources that go into other REACH agencies. We all meet monthly and we all meet with the ICB, public health and local authority commissioners for a quarterly contract review. Servlces Core tier 2 counselling We are directly commissioned by the NHS via the integrated care board to deliver core counselling across Daventry District and South Northants. This is non-urgent, non-emergency and we accept referrals form professionals, such as schools, GP'S, CAMHS etc along with self- referrals. A course of therapy generally last for 6-8 sessions with an absolute maximum of 12 in very exceptional circumstances. Tier 2.5 counselling This is similar to the above however thi5 work5 With young people with more complex needs. Service 6 hold the NHS contract for this on behalf of REACH and we invoice monthly. Rapid response This is a specific dedicated service that offers fast access to counselling. The criteria involves a young person having presented at A&E following concerns raised for a self-harm incident such as taking an overdose. The clinical team at hospital will then determine whether the young person needs an urgent intervention or admission, and if not, they may be referred to us for counselling. Once we receive the referral in these cases, we must do our best to connect them within 2 working days with the offer of an appointment within 5 working days. The Lowdown hold the funds for this on behalf of REACH and we invoice them monthly. Emotional wellbeing drop-ins Time2Talk deliver 2 each week. One in Daventry every Saturday between 12.00-4.00pm and one in Towcester every Wednesday 4.00-8.00pm. Our Daventry service is for those aged 8 (with a parent or carer) and up to 25 and in Towcester its 8 (with apparent or carer) and up to 18. This is non-crisis; non-emergency and no appointment
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 is needed. The plarform of delivery is usually face to face however remote sessions can be available. This is funded again via the NHS with Lowdown holding the funds on behalf of REACH, we invoice the Lowdown monthly for sessions delivered. LGBTQ+ Young people's group Time2Talk took over the running of this group in May 2024 and rapidly increased the numbers accessing it. This provides a safe dedicated Space for young people aged 13-18 who identify as LGBTQ+ to meet and engage in a Structured programme of activities each Thursday during term time from 6.30pm-8.00pm. It is staffed by two trained Time2Talk people on a rota basis who facilitate discussions and activities that the young people are interested in including art and quizzes and subjects that the young people themselve5 may be concerned about. This is not a counselling-based support group. It's important to stress that all those working for Time2Talk in whatever capacity must undertake mandatory safeguarding training very 2 years and be enhanced DBS checked. Extra service offers We can provide pregnancy testing, condoms and the joint chlamydia/gonorrhoea test for those aged 15-24. We are also agents for the Daventry foodbank service and can provide or obtain information on a variety of subjects for parents or carers upon request. Social media and web site We recently launched a new website that is more intuitive and easierto use. It now also contains a self-referral form with a confidential secure email address to return it to us. It is also mobile phone friendly. As with all new technology there's bound to be the odd thing that needs updating almost immediately something goes live but do visit us at W.t1Me2talk.Org.uk In addition our Time2Talk Facebook page is where we post and promote services and anything well-being related that may be of interest to our service users and their families. Finally We'd like to say a big thank you to all ourfunders but a huge thank you to Daventry Conservative club members who embarked on a years, worth of fundraising activities on behalf of Time2Talk. We were so grateful to receive a donation of almost £4500.00 as a contribution towards our work. In addition, the Daventry Rotary club members donated £500.00 along with a donation of £IOOO.00 from the W and M Morris charitable trust. Nothing in this job is ever really nine to five. It's a privilege to do the work we do and knowing the impact our work can have on improving the lives of young people and their families is just brilliant! Thanks to everyone who as able to make it to our AGM today, we all really appreciate it. We hope you enjoy reading the individual report contained in our annual review. Andrew Nixon Chief Operating Officer
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review Data and Information Report 2025 I'm responsible for submitting data and various reports to the NHS for all the different services that we run. This includes the core and tier 2.5 counselling, rapid response, emotional wellbeing drops ins and our LGBTQ youth group. I will also submit monthly stats into the MHSDS, which includes more details on the sessions themselves such as the dates they took place, whether they were attended and core scores. Alongside this there are also narrative reports and case studies every quarter which offer a more qualitative look at our work rather than the purely quantitative data for the monthly reports. I'm also part of the clinical consistencyand data groupswhich are both represented bya member from each REACH agency. This creates consistency in how we operate but also allows us to 5UPPOrt each other, and get SUPPOrt, in our work. Both have been a great help. l also do the day to day admin in the office, take referra15, invoicing and the Saturday drop-ins in Daventry. We've also started our LGBTQ Out There group that l am regularly a part of, which we hold every Thursday during the school term. We try and do a different activity every week such as board games, art, video games, anime/movie nights and sometimes they will be themed around an event coming up such as Halloween, Christmas or local pride events. In this section I have included a selection of stats that highlight the nature of the work that we Number of referrals and sessions We received 331 referrals into our counselling service for this year, 305 for our core/tier 2.5 service and 26 for rapid response. We delivered 2302 counselling sessions, of this 1285 were for the core counselling, 803 tier 2.5 sessions and 214 rapid response. 136 contacts for the emotional wellbeing drop ins Client Feedback 88Yo of young people who completed a full course of counselling saw their core YP scores improve. 95% of users would recommend the service to others when asked at their close of their sessions. 95Yo of users consider there to have been positive changes/outcomes as a result of their counselling sessions. 99% who attended the drop-ins maintained or improved their mental health by visiting the drop in. Safeguarding Time2talk takes it5 safeguarding responsibilities with young people extremely seriously. All staff members have received mandatory safeguarding training and during the period this report covers we had 11 safeguarding concerns of which 7 were escalated into statutory services. Some of these will have resulted in further action taken by the relevant bodies.

Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 A Therapeutic Counsellors Perspective I have been with the charity for just over a year and a half now and since day one I have been inspired by the dedication and friendliness of the staff and counsellors here. I wanted to gain valuable experience working with young people and the support and attention I have been given to help me with that has been great. I have produced a presentation about the work of the charity and as part of the preparation, I had to find out as much as I could and it really is a marvel how much support and care is given to clients by so relatively few people. Every client I have had the privilege to work with has challenged me in a good way and has broadened the scope and experience which is exactly what l am looking for. I do wish it was possible to spend far more time than is available to get even more involved in the initiatives that the charity wants to take forward and as we all know the scale of the 'climb' ahead is not to be underestimated, with competing priorities and resources. From a personal perspective I feel very grateful for having this opportunity and only wish I lived closer to where the need is greatest, but all in all l am an advocate for the charity and only wish I could do more! Thanks to all for all that you do! Corrinne Carr Volunteer Counsellor 12-

Towcester Wellbeing Drop-in I would normally book the rooms, l arrange the room for the Drop-in also the small room upstairs for the counsellors to see their clients, while the drop-in is open down stairs. The Drop-in covers the area of Towcester and all of Northamptonshire. We will offer a safe space, hot or cold drink plus some biscuits to the young person and their parents, normally before they see a support worker, if they would like one. Most of the young people are wanting to talk regarding an issue they are facing and some will need extra support and will go onto our waiting list face to face counselling. In the mean time they will use the Drop-in as many times as they need support. Referrals Most of the young people l am seeing have been referred from the RMC, doctors, hospitals, social workers, family members, other agencies, teachers, school nurses and some will be self-referrals.

Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 Case Study This year we have included a brief case study which demonstrates a small part of the work we Background The young person was referred to us as through the RMC with a history of self-harm by cutting, having experienced suicidal thoughts and urges for the last few years. They had taken an overdose on one occasion in the past but had never been able to to identify a clear trigger for why they felt the way they did. The young person's parents were divorced and they lived with their father but Still in regular contact their Mother. However, they had a complicated relationship with their Mum who they believed would try to be more like a friend than a parent to them. Work Undertaken The Initial goals of the client was to feel happier and to understand their emotional struggles. A person-centred approach was used, alongside creative activities to add to their own tool kit for coping skills and a focus on understanding healthy relationship helped them realise how they often isolated themselves from others. Across their sessions theyoung person experienced an improvement in theirself-awareness, and of the triggers, of their low mood. They were able to recognise how past trauma and Mum's own mental health difficulties had impacted on their mood. Over their time seeing us, their self- esteem increased, along with their ability to recognise their emotions and knowledge and confidence to implement coping strategies and asking for help when needed. Outcomes The counselling sessions had enabled them to cope with their emotions and gave them a clearer understanding of their struggles with relationships/friendships and past traumas, improved their self-awareness and self-esteem, allowing them to put themselves and their own happiness first. No onward referral was needed. A self-harm kit was issued, alongside a mood book, client was made aware of being able to self-refer in the future, if necessary, and the wellbeing drop-ins. 15-

Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 Page 4 TIME2TALK YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT l am pleased to report that Time2Talk has had another successful year providing services for the young people in Daventry and surrounding South Northants. Andy's comprehensive COO report outlines the exact details. and I will provide an over-arching review of the highlights in my report. As always. T2T faces many uncertainties - both financial and within the health of the team providing the services. Furthermore, there has been a growth in demand with an increase in the complexity ofthe issues requiring help. The T2T team is a small, tightly knit unit - 3 members of staff working out of a compact office space in theAbbey Building and managing SeiceS provided by themselves and the 6 self-employed counsellors working with T2T. With these limited resources they provide services across a rural area covering almost half the county. Face to face provision occurs in Daventry and Towcester and a vital remote service provides wider cover. Rurality remains a key factor in the difficulties fad providing services and impacts hugely on the costs encountered by T2T. I think the main task of the Chairperson's Report is to recognise and thank the team for all their dedication and hard work. Firsdy, Andy. our COO. I must extend huge thanks to Andy as he continues to work hard, dedicating time and energy to continuing to provide a high-quality counselling service as well as managing the other activities he has outlined in his own report. It is no small feat to accomplish this with the level of resources T2T receives and the impact of the costs of rurality and office rental. He continues to spend a lot of his time seeking altemative funding and grants. I must also thankAsh, a data genius with national recognition, who works hard forT2T and in supporting the wider REACH partnership. Sylvia, who has worked tirelessly with T2T for many years to provide high quality counselling and support for our young people both here in Daventry and in Towcester. Our group of self-employed counsellors., Julie. Eve. Sarah. Prem. and Lynsey and volunteer counsellor Corrinne. Aspecial mention herefor Julie-who is not only a counsellor butalso volunteers as a Trustee 2nd quietly provides T2T with a huge amount of support - thank you. A big thank you to Gordon for his continued patience. professionalism and dedication in working on our accounts and providing such excellent reports and to Shaw Gibbs accountants for providing the independent examining of these accounts. Finally, my thanks to my fellow trustees - Suzy and Julie. They have remained dedicated to their roles despite many difficulties, and I want to thank them for the flexibility and support they have demonstrated in keeping this small band of trustees operating. Trustees are seemingly becoming a rare breed and if anyone reading this can spare some time lo join our team, please do contact one of us. orAndy. Thank you. Dr Susan Davies Chair 23-
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 Page 5 TIME2TALK YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERS ANNUAL REPORT Introduction We delivered a brillianl seNi¢e auoss our patch again during this period, enabling hundreds of young people lo improve their mental health and well-being. We also faced another challenging year of uncertainties, and a growing demand on our seNices. The area we Ver is vast with almost half the county falling into our area of operation. Rurality and rural issues play a big part in the challenges our SeiCe users can face when it comes to accessing services. Lack of public transport and in some cases poor inlemet access along with working parenls in rural locations wtth limited access lo personal transport are also factors. We maintain a service "ce weekly in TOWSter lo help with this and also a rernote counselling offer which is popular with many young people who live in rernoter locations. Being a small team can also be a challenge despite how hard we all work_ For example, one of our team was recovering from canr but our service user caseload grows and continues to present ever more complex issues for our dedicated team. We can't thank our small team enough for staying with it. rising to the Challenge and delivering great services for the young people we are here to support. Sylvia continues to support young people in Davenlry and Tow¢ester. We are in Towcester two days and one evening each week. Sylvia covers our Towcester service and on Mondays our volunteer counsellor Corrinne and sessional counsellor Lyndsey Iboth cover Daventry as well) ensure even more sessions can be covered. Sessional counsellors Eve and Sarah who also support Daventry service delivery. support our rural Towcester service on Weds and l am there helping to cover the Weds evening drop-in. Prem our remote counsellor based in Bra(*ley has a steady stream of clienls for whom a remote service is preferable. This enable's young people in remoter rural locations and who would otherwise struggle to access emotional wellbeing support, to engage in the service. A Staart of Time2Talk, Julie who brings a wealth of experience working for CAHMS in the past covers many sessional slots each week in Daventry. Thanks to them all. Thanks also to Ash our superb data and infomalion officer. We are required to submit regular data reports into the REACH partnership and also into NHS England. It's a complicated process that requires meli¢ulous attention to detail and Time2Talk's MHSDS data is always top in the entire country for qualty! Thays no mean feat. Alongside this Ash provides admin SUPFQrt for our counsellois helping to ensure referrals are allocated quickly. Our counsellors are required to do their own admin which involves maintaining data sets and core scores along with booking in client's but we help out with Ihat of course and l am avaYS available for any and all safeguarding concerns or queries. We have to thanks Jane who has been ably providing clinical supervision for our counselling leam for many years. Clinical supervision is a vital part of the Iherapeulic support offer. All counsellors working with us must and do have this at least once each month, more if needed and we really appreciate the experiencE and professionalism she brings to the tsble. Time2Talk remain organisational members of BACP. Last but by no means least our brilliant tTUStees who are small in number but remain d&gicated to Time2Talk. Dr Susan Davies. Suzy Dion and Julie Luvaglio, thank you for staying with us. As volunteers it's a big ask and one you take on without complaint.

Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 TIME2TALK Page 6 YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERS ANNUAL REPORT (continued) The REACH collaboration Time2Talk remain a key player in the REACH collaboration. A nehvork of like-minded agencies delivering services for young people across Northamptonshire. As a group of agencies, we have known each other for many years, we came together more formally though as a result of CA)mmissioning pressures with the ICB, Public Health and the local authority wanting a single point of commissioning rather than to commission 5 drfferent agencies. REACH has been fom)ally established, Youth Works in Kettering remain 'lead provider. however we retain our contract with the NHS for the core counselling work. The Lowdown in Northampton hold the funds for emotional well being drop-in's and rapid response and LGBTQ plus groups. servi 6. based in Wellingborough retain the funds for tier 2.5 counselling. We invoice those agen¢ies diredy for our share of the funds for delivering that work. Drop-in and LGBTQ groups are paid for per session delivered. counselling services are worked out at a unit cost per head. This can be something we struggle wtlh. We cover a vast largely rural area with a much smaller share of the resources that go into other REACH agencies. We will be working on reviewing this moving forward. The REACH agencies meet monthly and we all meet with the ICB, public health and local authonty commissionets for a quartedy contract review where each individual element is monitoied. Services Core tier 2 counselling We are directly commissioned by the NHS via the integrated care board to deliver core counselling across Daventry District and South Northants. This is non-urgent, non-emergency and we accept referrals fom professionals. such as schools. GP'S. CAMHS etc along with self-referrals. A course of therapy generally last for 6-8 sessions with an absolute maximum of 12 in very exceptional circumstances. rier 2.5 counselling This is similar to the above however this works with yCMJng people wth more complex needs. servi 6 hold the NHS contract for this on behalf of REACH and we invoice monthly. Rapid response This is a specific dedicated setvice that offers fast access to counselling. The criteria involve a young person having presented at A&E following ConMS raised for a self-hatm incident such as taking an overdose. The clinical team at hospital will then deterTnine whether the young person needs an urgent intervention or admission. and rf nol. they may be referred to us for counselling. on we receive the referral in these cases. we must do our best to connect with them within 2 working days with the offer of an appoinlmenl within 5 working days. The Lowdown hold the funds for this on behalf of REACH and we invoice them monlhty. Emotional wellbeing drop4ns Time2Talk deliver 2 each week. One in Daventry each Saturday behveen 12.004.00pm and one in Towcester each W&Js 4.00-8.00pm. Our Daventy seryice is for those aged 8 (with a parent or carerl and up to 25 and in Towcester it's 8 (with a parent or carer) and up to 18. This is non-crisis., non*mergency and no appointment is needed. The plattorm of delivery is usually fa to face however refftote sessions can be available. This is funded again via the NHS with Lowdown holding the funds on behalf of REACH, we Invol the Lowdown monthly for sessions delivered. 25-
Time2Talk Annual Report and Review 2025 TIME2TALK Page 7 YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CHIEF OPERATING OFFICERS ANNUAL REPORT (continued) LGBTQ+ Young People's Group Time 2Talk took over the running of this group in May 2024 and rapidly increased the numbers accessing it. This provides a safe dedicated space for young people aged 13-18 who identify as LGBTQ+ to meet and engage in a structured programme of activities each Thursday during tenn time from 6.30pm-8.00pm. It is staffed by two trained Time2Talk people on a rota basis who facilitate discussions and activities that the young people are interested in including art and quizzes and subjects that the young people themselves may be concemed about. The is not a counselling-based support group. Its important to stress that all those working for Time2Talk in whatever capacity must undertake mandatory safeguarding training every 2 years and be enhand DBS checked. Extra service offers We can provide pregnancy testing. condoms and the joint Chlamydlalgonorrha test for those aged 15-24. We are also agents for the Daventry foodbank service and can provide or obtain information on a variety of subjects for parents or carers upon request. Social Media We recently launched a new website that is more intuitive and easier to use. It now also contains a self- referral fomi with a confidential secure email address to retum it to us. It is also mobile phone friendly. As with all new technology there's bound to be the odd thing that needs updating almost immediately something goes live but do visit us at www.time2talk.or .uk In addition our Time2Talk Facebook page is where we post and promote services and anything well-being related that may be of interest to our service users and their families. Finally We'd like to say a big thank you to all our funders but a huge thank you to Daventry Conservative club members who embarked on a years, worth of fundraising activities on behalf of Time2Talk. We were so grateful to receive a donation of almost £4.500.00 as a contribution towards our work. In addition. the Daventry Rotary club members donated £500.00 along with a donation of£1.000.00 from the W and M Morris charitable trust. Nothing in this job is ever really 9.00-5.00. It's a privilege to do the work we do and knowing the impact our work can have on improving the lives of young people and their families is just brilliantl Thanks to everyone who was able to make it to our AGM tCMJay, we all really appreciate it.

Office equipment 250/0 on cost Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise ofjudgement. The directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impainnent 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 of assets are supportable by their value in use Financial instruments 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.
