REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023. The trustees 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
Objectives and aims
The principal activity of the charity is:
To advance education for the benefit of the public in particular by the provision of seminars in psychoanalysis.
The charity aims to disseminate psychoanalytic ideas through the form of:
- Various training programmes;
- Public lecture and seminar programmes;
- Gaining accreditation through research projects;
- Collaboration with other institutions both within the field of mental health and in the arts and humanities; and
- Maintenance of a clinical service.
Through these different routes the charity aims to pursue psychoanalytic research and education. This infrastructure assists in the development of the skills and talents of the charity's members in a supportive, learning environment that has the charity's value at its heart.

Significant activities
The Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research (CFAR) has had a good year following several challenging years during the pandemic. There was a good intake onto the Introductory Course and Psychoanalytic Studies course as we ran two courses for both programmes. We had, in total 28 students on the Introductory Course and 16 on the Psychoanalytic Studies Course in Autumn 2022.

Six new trainees joined the full training programme in September 2022. During 2022/2023 we were very pleased to have 50 trainees participating in the training programme. We consider this to be encouraging in these times when other organisations are having difficulties recruiting trainees. Public lectures and seminars have had large audiences drawn from diverse fields. Throughout Autumn 2022 to Summer 2023 we have run seminars in person but also online which has enabled CFAR to widen the possibility of attendance to those in other countries and in other parts of the UK than London.

We held an internationally attended Vivien Burgoyne memorial conference in person and via Zoom in July 2023 on 'Who Am I? Psychoanalysis and Identity' at the Freud Museum. Speakers included Bettina Bergo, Bice Benvenuto, Bernard Burgoyne,
Julia Borossa, Patricia Gherovici and Caroline Rooney.

Trainees and members have benefited from being signed up to the PEP web, an on-line resource which contains the largest collection of psychoanalytic publications, and thus advances the educational and the research activities of the Centre.

The reduced fee clinical service has continued offering low fee analysis.

CFAR's members are eligible for registration with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and our delegates to the relevant section of the UKCP (Council for Psychoanalysis and Jungian Analysis) and the Management Committee of CFAR actively engage in policy-making and the establishment of effective procedures, coherent with CFAR's ethos.

Public benefit
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research has made a profit of £38,629 year on year. Income from the Introductory Course, Psychoanalytic Studies and the training fees was up on the previous year. Although not a large income source it does mean that CFAR is managing to reach more people who are interested in Lacan and the Zoom facility has meant people have been able to attend from all over the world. CFAR maintains unrestricted funds for pursuing its ordinary activities and also a restricted fund for maintaining the Low Cost Clinical Service. In 2022/2023 we managed to fund raise £29,276..

Investment policy and objectives
Surplus funds are held in a deposit account with Scottish Widows on which interest is received annually without deduction of tax.

Reserves policy
The Trustees have reviewed the circumstances of the charity and consider that adequate resources continue to be available to fund its activities for the foreseeable future.

The Trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern. The trustees consider that unrestricted reserves approximating to a year's expenditure are appropriate for the charity and its continuing operations.

FUTURE PLANS
It is planned that The Journal of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research should be producing a journal at some point in 2024. CFAR is grateful for all the hard work that the JCFAR committee puts into this important publication.
More seminar series have been organised and advertising, particularly via the internet, will make details of CFAR's activities known to a wider audience. CFAR has continued to be an active participant in several working groups which are coming together to cooperate about the challenges and future of psychoanalytic training. We are looking forward to continuing to grow and to be an active and influential participant in the future of psychoanalysis in this country. Through our links with other organisations we hope to increase collaboration concerning training.
More books are in the pipeline for the CFAR Library Both the journal and the other publishing activities ensure that CFAR is disseminating psychoanalytic ideas to a wide audience.
We are seeing more reading groups being set up by trainees and members which serves to enrich the culture within CFAR.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and it is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
One third of the number of directors (who act as trustees for the charity) retire each year at the annual general meeting and can be reappointed if willing and eligible. New directors, being voting members of the company, are invited to serve at the discretion and approval of existing board members. The total number of directors shall be no less than three nor more than eight.

Decision making
Annual budgets for all aspects of work and responsibility are agreed by the Honorary Treasurer and the Chair of the Trustees and submitted to the Board of Trustees for comment and approval prior to the commencement of each financial year. Significant amendments to agreed budgets during a financial year are discussed by the Honorary Treasurer and Chair in the first instance and then presented to the board for comment and approval or otherwise. At present, all teaching work to the charity's members is unpaid although any reasonable teaching expenses are paid e.g. travel. People teaching from outside the organisation are paid travel and accommodation costs.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CENTRE FOR FREUDIAN ANALYSIS AND
RESEARCH
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Centre For Freudian Analysis And Research (A company Limited by Guarantee) ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
