Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Space Counselling Chesterfield (formerly Relate - Chesterfield & North Derbyshire) is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association dated 21 May 2003. The company name was changed on 23 April 2025.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as Members of the Executive Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Executive Committee are elected to serve for one year renewable annually.

In an effort to reflect a range of skills and expertise, members have been appointed to the Board with this in mind and where possible, the Board will endeavour to retain these skills or recruit new Trustees according to the needs of the organisation. In the event of particular skills being lost due to retirement, individuals may be approached to offer themselves for election.

c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

Trustees have a selection interview following completion of the Trustee application form, and references have been received, with a further opportunity to meet the Centre Manager and other staff and to visit the Centre. They are also given information packs about Relate and can access both national and local websites. New members are invited to attend meetings prior to registering as Trustees as observers and are also required to attend National Relate zoom meetings of Trustees. In particular, they are briefed about the Charities Commission requirements for Trustees, and their safeguarding responsibilities.

d. Organisational structure and decision making

Relate Chesterfield & North Derbyshire (Space Counselling Chesterfield as of 1 April 2025) currently has an Executive Committee of 8 members who meet monthly and are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity. Responsibility of the day-to-day provision of services is delegated to the Centre Manager. The Centre is a member of the Relate Federation (now Relationships England & Wales) and is guided in the provision of services by each Federated Centres Board of Trustees but adhere to agreed quality standards across all the Federated Centres.

e. Risk management

The Board of directors receive a monthly financial report in addition to the Centre Managers written and verbal reports at the monthly Board meetings. Financial and health and safety policies are also in place along with the appropriate insurance policies. In addition, all staff are DBS checked, and are required to read annually updated policies and sign a statement of understanding to confirm they will apply the policy to their practice.

The major risk that the charity is exposed to is loss of funding from grants and contracts. To mitigate this the Board ensure sufficient funds are kept in the reserves over and above the amounts that have previously been held for this purpose. Also, there has been a diversification of income streams to protect against loss from an particular source and this continues to be the focus to protect the future and financial viability of the Centre. Other more general risks such as damage to property and absence of staff are provided for in the business continuity plan, which also provides for remote working.

A major risk to the organisation is staff sickness absence owing to the small team and ensuring service and management coverage. This is partly mitigated by the Board's hands-on and operational protection approach.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The key charitable activity is attributed to direct client counselling, this encompasses children and young people, individuals, couples, family counselling and psychosexual therapy. In addition, we offer free or subsidised training to volunteers and employees of the voluntary and statutory sector.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our objectives and activities and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how many planned activities they have set. Further details on how the charity delivers public benefit can be found in the activities undertaken to achieve objectives paragraph below.

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

Clients are offered a choice of appointment times to suit their availability and attend for an assessment appointment before undertaking ongoing counselling to ensure they receive the right service. Waiting times are monitored and every effort is made to keep these as short as possible within the restraints of our resources. The Board and Centre Manager are actively and continually seeking contract services that fit our charitable activity.

In line with our charitable aims, we actively seek funding and bursaries to enable us to provide services at the point of need to those less able to pay. In particular, this last year we have reached a target of 76% free of charge counselling.

c. Staffing

The Centre relies on the reception staff (both paid and voluntary) who provide reception cover throughout the day and evening. The provision of placements for counsellors on the training course continues and supervision and ongoing support to counsellors is provided by the Centre via the Clinical Supervisors. The Centre currently employs 10 Counsellors, 1 Centre Manager,1 Quality and Training Lead, 1 Senior administrator/Company Secretary, 1 Senior administrator who manages room hire and revenue income and 2 general administrative staff.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The Centre delivered 2,424 attended counselling sessions during the period of April 2024 to March 2025. We have offered a blended service of face to face, telephone and webcam appointments to meet client demands and needs for geographical and a range of other reasons. This will reduce previous barriers for some people in accessing our service, particularly those in remote areas.

Financial review

a. Going concern

The trustees meet regularly to look at governance, finance and strategy. Their concerns are directly in relation to the impending loss of the IAPT contract and the significant impact it will have on our income and ability to continue to provide subsidised counselling services. In addition to that there will be an associated loss of room hire by partner agencies who also will be affected similarly. Against the backdrop of contract loss, and reduced grant funding opportunities, combined with a new brand the board have identified several key activities to help raise the profile of SPACE. Including a new website and social media coverage. Alongside promoting the provision through Destination Chesterfield businesses to seek business and sponsorship. The trustees are not confident of the long-term future as a going concern but the immediate financial buffer enables to put plans in action to increase our revenue and hopefully stabilise.

b. Review of the year

Although the accounts show that we made a significant surplus this year, in reality it feels much different, due to a number of reasons:

During the year we received a grant of £50,000 which the Board have agreed will be used for free and subsidised counselling services, the provision and cost of which will be met on delivery in the current financial year. Unfortunately, the SORP prevents us from using the matching principal, which means the receipt of the funds are recognised in the accounts to 31 March 2025, and the expenditure will be recognised in the accounts of the year to 31 March 2026.

In December 2024 Relate National went into administration, although they were rescued by Family Action, Family Action's proposed funding model to the federated centres, was not one most centres could accept as sustainable. Like many other federated centres, we left the Relate brand and formed Relations England & Wales. There were rebranding and administration costs in doing so, some of which continue into the current financial year.

In June 2025, our IAPT contract finished. This was a significant loss to us, not only in contract income, but also room hire income by partner suppliers.

As a result of funding changes, total income increased from the previous year to £323,225 from £277,659. Expenditure decreased from the previous year to £257,499 from £267,738 resulting in a surplus of £65,726 (2024: surplus £9,539).

The total funds carried forward as of 31 March 2025 are £221,699 (2024: £155,973) of which £58,141 (2024: £10,471) are restricted, and £163,558 (2024: £145,502) are unrestricted.

Monthly financial statements are produced for the Board's scrutiny and quarterly financial statements are presented by the CEO.

c. Reserves policy

The policy of the organisation has always been to have a small reserve in cash and an asset in the form of a property that was rented out. The last two years have been difficult as shown in this financial statement and the cash reserves have been depleted. The trustees took the decision to sell the asset to maintain cash reserves and are now operating on the basis that we always retain £50,000 as a reserve that would cover any closing costs and cash availability of circa £50,000 to allow for the gaps between receipt of large-scale grants which are critical to the organisation. The Trustees and management review this situation on a monthly basis.

Plans for future periods

- Improve media and web presence

- Work with Schools/school exclusion and youth provision to de Improve media and web presence

- Continue to Work with Destination Chesterfield to promote our services to businesses

- Work with Schools/School exclusion and youth provision to develop joint funding applications to support young people.

- Create a Bank of Counsellors to draw upon

- Reduce Supervisor input to fund Clinical Lead

- Continue to seek sponsorship from businesses

- Work with TLC to strengthen our provision

- Align with Relationships England and Wales to give National stability.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Space Counselling Chesterfield Ltd

Year ended 31 March 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Space Counselling Chesterfield Ltd ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 3rd Floor, Dents Chambers, 81 New Square, Chesterfield, S40 1AH, England.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The trustees recognise that the ability of the charity to continue in operation is dependent on its ability to be able to raise sufficient income through services provided and obtaining grants to support the running costs of the charity. The trustees recognise that in the current economic climate there are significant uncertainties to achieving this. A new management team has reviewed options to merge with other centres or the national body but at this point feels they would be last resort and possibly have a negative impact on the local nature and provision of services. This new management team and a revised approach has identified financial and operational weaknesses that have been resolved and together with the liquidation of a fixed asset to cover short term cash requirements the immediate future is not in doubt. Trustees are continuing to take this issue very seriously and are reviewing financial information (including cash flow forecasting) with management on a monthly basis and appropriate action is being taken where necessary. Based on the above, the trustees are satisfied that the charity is a going concern and continue to adopt this basis of accounting.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including experience of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions: The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charitable Company and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charitable Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Incoming resources

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probably and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount the company would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charitable Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

	Fixtures and fittings	-	25% reducing balance

Investment property

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure. If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
