Report of the Trustees
for the Period 1st April 2024 to 31st August 2025


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 period 1st April 2024 to 31st August 2025. 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 objects and principal activities of the charity are to support couple and family relationships in Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire by offering relationship education and counselling. The charity's purpose as set out in the objects contained in the memorandum of association of the company are to:

(a)educate the public concerning the benefits of secure couple relationships, marriage and family life in order to
improve the emotional, sexual and spiritual well-being of individuals which is derived from committed
relationships;

(b)seek to enhance the good health, both mental and physical, of adults and children by:



-
increasing public awareness of the benefit of committed couple relationships, marriage and family life; and
working to prevent poverty, hardship and distress caused by the breakdown of such relationships;



-
providing counselling, advice, education, guidance and relief to adults and/or children in relation to any
aspect of contemporary life or work which;

-may prejudice their physical or mental well-being; or
-influence, either directly or indirectly, their present or future family or couple relationship;

-advance citizenship and community development;

-relieve those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage;

-promote research into all of the above objects and to make the results available to the public.

The Relationship Therapy Centre is grateful to those charitable trusts who support the bursary scheme and our young people's counselling service.

Significant activities
The charity's main activities are the provision of counselling services and training to individuals, couples and families and young people, at the Worcester centre and other premises throughout the county, and in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.

Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity's objectives and in planning future activities.

Volunteers
The Relationship Therapy Centre is very fortunate in the number of volunteers who provide reception cover free of charge. The volunteer receptionists make a much-valued contribution to the charity's operations.


The Relationship Therapy Centre Ltd (Registered number: 03219666)
previously known as Relate Severn and Wye Ltd

Report of the Trustees
for the Period 1st April 2024 to 31st August 2025

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The expertise of Relate trained counsellors is offered to the public primarily through the Worcester Centre and rented premises at other locations in the county and in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. Although we continue to work via telephone and webcam across all locations for those clients who find this most convenient.

The charity is responsive to policy initiatives of both central and local government. In turn, there is recognition that the charitable sector is often the most efficient provider of remedial services - particularly with children and families. The Relationship Therapy Centre has adopted a professional and pro-active approach in seeking to be a provider of solutions in the implementation of these policies.

The Trustees have determined that, whilst the ongoing counselling of individual and couple clients form the strategic backbone of the charity's activities, The Relationship Therapy Centre is well placed to play its part in implementing improvements to family and child well-being through government initiatives.

This report extends from 1st April 2024 to 31st August 2025. During this period our counsellors worked with 992 clients and delivered 4,955 sessions of relationship counselling - in person and by webcam, at times most convenient to our clients. We are proud of the quality of the service we provide in difficult circumstances and believe that we make a real difference to many lives in Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. We continue to provide subsidised counselling to clients depending on their household income. This year we have subsidised 2,498 sessions, providing clients with access to support that may otherwise have been unavailable to them.

The charity's bursary scheme continues to be of significant benefit to those clients suffering severe financial hardship and both Trustees and management are agreed that this provision should continue.
Trustees have continued to invest in the training of new counsellors by sponsoring the tuition fees of Relate courses. Five of our trainees qualified as relationship counsellors during the year.

Sadly, at the end of 2024, our national body Relate Ltd announced significant financial difficulties and entered administration. Despite the collective efforts of the Relate Federation to purchase the Relate brand, the brand was sold to another charity. The increased charges applied to continue to use the Relate brand were unaffordable and on 1st April 2025 we reluctantly exited a brand we had been a part of for over 80 years and rebranded our charity as The Relationship Therapy Centre.

The Trustees continued to meet monthly to react to changing circumstances, making strategic plans to safeguard our future operations, which included a detailed marketing plan. However, despite best the best efforts of Trustees and colleagues, the loss of the Relate brand meant clients were simply unable to find us and demand for our services plummeted. With limited financial resources we needed to explore other options to preserve relationship support services for our community and in August 2025 we were delighted to merge by way of a transfer of assets with the much larger relationship support charity TLC: Talk, Listen, Change.

I would like to thank my colleagues on the Board of Trustees especially those members who stood down this year, for their many years of commitment and support.

Personnel
The drop in demand and financial constraints led to some colleagues being made redundant prior to the merger with TLC. Although we were able to retain some admin and counsellor roles post-merger, we were saddened that colleagues who had worked within our charity for many years were also made redundant.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Review
Total income in the 17 months to August 2025 was £409,460 (2024: £281,128 for 12 months) split £368,500 of unrestricted income and £40,960 of restricted income.

Total expenditure in the 17 months to August 2025 was £506,753 (2024: £294,329 for 12 months) split £468,385 of unrestricted expenditure and £38,368 of restricted expenditure. Of this, £23,832 relates to the transfer of assets and liabilities to TLC.

Net gains on investments prior to their disposal during the period totalled £3,664 (2024: loss of £737).

The overall result for the 17 months is a net deficit of £93,629 (2024: net deficit £13,938).

Following the transfer of net assets and liabilities to TLC: Talk, Listen, Change, total funds as at 31 August 2025 are £nil, compared to £93,629 as at 31 March 2024.

Report of the Trustees
for the Period 1st April 2024 to 31st August 2025


FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources during the period were fees charged to clients for counselling services and service contracts for counselling services provided. In addition, the charity is very grateful for the support of local and national grant-making trusts. In particular the support and generosity of the Sanctuary Housing Group for the provision of the Worcester premises at a peppercorn rent, an arrangement which has continued post merger.

Reserves policy
Following the merger agreement with TLC: Talk, Listen, Change, in which all of the charity's net assets and liabilities are transferred to TLC, the charity's general unrestricted reserves, excluding fixed assets, were £nil as at 31 August 2025 (2024: £53,487).

Going concern
During the period, the charity has merged with TLC: Talk, Listen, Change on 21st August 2025. Following the transfer of business to TLC, the charity will be wound up on a solvent basis.

The current period has been prepared on a going concern basis, with the assets and business transferred to TLC as a going concern.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
As a result of the transfer, services will be retained within Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire. TLC has a strong track record of supporting relationships and operates numerous programmes including therapeutic wellbeing counselling services, mediation, domestic abuse support services and perpetrator behaviour change programmes, as well as education and training. We are already delivering free at the point of contact grant funded counselling in our locations and plans are in place to extend this further. We are also able to provide services to fee paying clients through TLC's wholly owned subsidiary - Now You're Talking therapy.

I conclude this report by giving thanks to my fellow Trustees for their support and advice and on behalf of the Trustees, I wish to thank all our counsellors, supervisors, trainers, administration staff and volunteers, for their steadfast support.

B Shuttleworth - Trustee

The Relationship Therapy Centre Ltd
previously known as Relate Severn and Wye Ltd

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Period 1st April 2024 to 31st August 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named in the Trustees' Report. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The charity is exempt from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is not a larger charity.

CESSATION OF TRADE
During the current period the activities and net assets of the charity was transferred to another legal entity on a going concern basis, after which the charity no longer had any ongoing activities. The charity is expected to be wound up in the near future.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL YEAR END
The charity has changed its financial year end from 31 March to 31 August, so that its financial year end incorporates the merger with TLC.

Following this change in financial year end date, these financial statements have been prepared for a period of 17 months.

The comparative amounts presented in the financial statements, which relate to the 12 month period ending 31 March 2024, are not entirely comparable.

INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Grant income, including government grants, is recognised on a performance basis.

Income from charitable activities for services provided is recognised in line with the provision of those services.

Investment income is recognised when the relating investments issue notice of distribution to its investors.

EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is 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 obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost 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 resources.

INVESTMENTS
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange or whose value derives from them (CIFs, etc) are valued at market value at the year end. Both realised and unrealised gains are shown under 'net gains / (losses) on investments' on the face of the SoFA.

ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS
The cost of subsidised and bursary counselling sessions have been calculated at £74 per session. The total costs of bursaries awarded have been allocated to the restricted bursary funds.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

PENSION COSTS
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

DONATED GOODS AND SERVICES
Donated goods and services are measured at fair value when control over the economic benefit has passed to the charity.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11' Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are offset, with the net amounts presented in the accounts where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic Financial Assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Basic Financial Liabilities
Basic Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of future receipts, discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of the operations from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction cost.
