Company activities and impact

Every Cloud is a Play and Creative Arts Therapy Practice. During the financial year 1/9/23 to 31/8/24 we provided individual therapeutic services to 107 children and young people and Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) to 3 families. 34 of these were brand new clients and were from over 30 different schools and alternative provision providers. We continue to have good links with Adoption West and Social workers who both regularly refer children and young people to our service. At Every Cloud we pride ourselves on working in a multi-agency way with the educational, health and social care provision in our community. By involving the school or alternative provision in our reviews and giving the class teachers or mentors an insight as to how they can better support that child this often results in reduced classroom disruption as the child feels more understood. This approach also raises awareness of effective strategies to support children and young people's mental health in educational settings. Every Cloud held training sessions focusing on the Teenage Brain and Trauma for Kinship UK Carers, Surrey County Council Fosters Carers and Gloucestershire County Foster Carers, free of charge recognising the need in this area. A session was also held for University of Wales Play Therapy students about starting up their own play therapy practices once they have Qualified. This Financial year our two Clinical directors have trained as Clinical Supervisors enabling them to supervise other BAPT play therapists, including our own team strengthening our infrastructure as an organisation. In November 2023 we moved to new premises, to the Royal Crescent, where with three independent therapy rooms and a parent/carer waiting room, we have been able to increase the number of clients we see. The location in the centre of town has enabled easy access for clients to attend their appointments. We were able to source pro bono legal support from Law Works to assist with our relocation. This move has greatly enhanced our environment and is welcoming and inviting, feedback from parents has been very positive. This financial year £36,107.14 was raised through grants, donations and our Corporate Social Responsibility Programme: the Silver Lining Asset Disposal Service through a local business supporter. We also received a further donation of £10K from GCHQ’s Employees and Charitable fund, £5k which we used for our Subsidised session fund and £5k which helped us with our moving costs. We were very grateful to receive generous funding from The Barnwood Trust, funding essential core costs and providing us with essential financial support as well as enabling us to move premises after we were given notice in the summer of 2023. We were also given a grant by the National Lottery for £8,000, which covered our buildings service charges and utilities bills. During 2023 due to our expansion we recruited two new part time BAPT therapists, and three student therapists, enabling us to keep our waiting list down to a minimum. We won the #Good Mental Health Award at the NCLB Awards in January 2024. We were also finalists in Early Years and Strong relationship categories . This was in recognition of the lifeline we at Every Cloud offer to children and young people with mental health challenges. Many of the children and young people Every Cloud supports have mental health challenges that aren’t suitable for the statutory offer of 3 to 6 online therapy sessions of talking based provision. Often these options have been exhausted before children and young people are referred into our services. We are able to engage with children and young people on their terms, in their own ways, often using the toys or craft resources for them to express themselves in a much deeper way than words alone. The challenges that they face in their day to day life around accessibility, isolation, inclusion, trauma, loss and/or adversity can all be processed subconsciously with a qualified and experienced child psychotherapist trained to use a well resourced therapeutic space to support the child or young person. Within this space children and young people can be unburdened, develop resilience and can begin to see a clearer path through the challenges they face. The feedback we receive from past clients indicates that in the vast majority of cases, both the child/young person and their parent/carer feel that therapy at Every Cloud was beneficial, with 88% of children saying their therapy helped them either ‘a lot’ or ‘a great deal’ and 100% of parents agreeing with this. This financial year we made a profit of £316 bringing our reserves balance up to £5514. It is still our long term aim that once we have a substantial reserve policy (of 6 weeks running costs, currently estimated to be £19,200), any surplus income each year will move to our subsidised session fund, enabling us to offer sessions at a reduced cost for families privately paying for our services or where limited funding is available.

Consultation with stakeholders

When we finish working with a child or young person, a family or a school we seek out feedback from them and their family. They have the option of a printed form or a smart form accessible from a QR code. We then use this feedback to adapt and improve our provision, to see what we are doing well and if anything needs changing. We have a limited number of responses and the ones we receive are really positive. ‘We are extremely grateful for the positive impact play therapy has had on our children’s self esteem, confidence and ability to regulate consequently, this has had a positive impact on school, their social relationships and family life at home.’ ‘The therapist has been so kind and understanding with my daughter. She has shown a totally child centred approach and been sensitive to her needs whilst building a trusting relationship that has enabled change and development for my daughter, she has really flourished.’ ‘Every Cloud have always put me at ease and reassured me at every step of the process. They have helped improve life for my child and our family.’ ‘Very supportive and informative’

Directors' remuneration

Our accounts (Appendix 2) show the two Directors Remuneration received (£35K) each totalling £70,267 . The Directors are still not yet earning the ‘going rate’ for their role. It was hoped that during the fourth financial year salaries will increase to be closer to the expected wage for a Play Therapist of approx. £36-£40K - this has yet to be reached but a small increase in salary was possible this year.
