Governors’ Report

For the year ended 31 August 2025

The governors, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The governors have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). Objectives and activities The principal objective of the charity is to advance people’s mental health and emotional and spiritual wellbeing through its provision of counselling and psychotherapy in addition to training individuals in counselling skills and psychodynamic counselling.

Achievement and performance

During the forty fifth year of its operating, the Centre has continued to meet its objectives in providing psychodynamic therapy and supervision (both clinical and generic) in addition to delivering training courses in support of individuals’ personal and professional development.

Services and staffing

Clinical operations: — Uptake of services and clinical output compared very similarly to the previous year’s operations. Practitioners continued to work diligently in delivering our clinical services. These comprise of individual psychodynamic counselling, relationship counselling, group therapy and art therapy following the centre adding an art therapist to its clinical team. Together with the centre’s provision of clinical and generic supervision, these continue to be our principal concern and activity. Around 60 individuals currently use our clinical services. Together with students attending our courses (see Training Operations), over 100 people use the centre’s services each week. We continue to endeavour to support those who work at the centre in their continuing professional development. Two practitioners completed trainings in counselling supervision during the year. This is advantageous to the individuals’ development in addition to the centre in ensuring that we are positioned more effectively to respond to the needs of therapists and students for counselling supervision. A further member is currently undertaking the Diploma in Groupwork Practice offered by the institute in Group Analysis. The centre continues to maintain its tradition of providing group therapy and experiential groups within its training that are run in the group analytic tradition. itis similarly advantageous to have staff who can draw on such training in their work at the centre. All our clinical staff were disclosed during the year and are now members of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme. We continue to be fortunate in having committed staff and a group of clinicians, some of whom provide services in an honorary capacity. We are grateful to all our staff for all that they contribute.

Training operations: The centre delivered three courses during the year: The Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling; The Certificate in Counselling Skills, A Psychodynamic Approach and the COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills. it was the twenty fourth year in which the centre delivered the diploma programme. Demand for the certificate course was considerable and resulted in our delivering both the aforementioned certificate courses. Interest in these courses increased in 2025 resulting in the decision to provide an additional certificate course during the 2025/26 academic year in order to meet the demand for training places.

Governors’ Report (Cont’d)

For the year ended 31 August 2025

Subsidies and grants: Subsidies were offered to counselling and group therapy clients where this was indicated. We seek as far as possible for costs of services not to be prohibitive. Subsidies were also provided to students undertaking personal therapy and/or clinical supervision. We were able to offer assisted funding to students undertaking training at the centre. Grateful acknowledgement is recorded here to all benefactors who supported the Centre through making regular or one-off donations during the year. Premises: Staff continued to work hard to ensure an effective administration of the Centre’s leased property resulting in stable trading during the year in this regard. As previously reported, the Centre’s premises are in fair condition and in need of ongoing repair. The centre continues to collaborate with other owners and the building's factor in planning and progressing prioritised remedial works as required. Some internal refurbishment was undertaken during the year including developing a space for our art therapy service.

Financial review

At all times during the financial year the charity was solvent: that is, with adequate reserves and assets to meet all liabilities of which management are aware. During the financial year the cash flow remained adequate to act as working capital.

A surplus has been reported for the year of £13,378 (2024 — £45,676). The efforts of all who work at the centre continue to be instrumental in the centre’s stable financial position. The charity's management is confident that with this continuing hard work and invaluable help from the members and governors the centre can continue on a financially secure footing moving forward.

Reserves

The governors have agreed the requirement for a level of unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months running costs. This is necessary to protect against risk arising from any unexpected operational contingencies that have not been foreseen. The amount currently held in unrestricted reserves meets these requirements. Going concern The surplus indicates further progress being made in relation to the improving financial picture reported last year. The governors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that it is better positioned with financial demands that might arise from the need to repair and refurbish its property. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Notes to the Accounts

For the year ended 31 August 2025

  1. Accounting Policies

Charity information

The Garnethill Centre Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee and incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 28 Rose Street, Glasgow, G3 6RE.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the governors believe to be appropriate for the reasons set out in the governors’ report.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the governors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Deferred income

Income is deferred when payment is made for services that cannot be performed until the following year, due to factors outwith the control of the charity.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the expenditure can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under heading that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.
