Psychosynthesis and Education Trust
Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 August 2010
Last year we looked at how training is carried out. We decided to alter the way we deliver the
courses by switching, in an incremental fashion, to a staff trainer system whereby a core of trainers
are employed to carry out the bulk of the training. This system has not yet been fully implemented.
We are currently reviewing the new system to see how it can be made to work more effectively.
As the state of the economy remains precarious and government cuts bite, public services will be
taking a battering. Charities are receiving fewer donations and the general demand on all
organisations is to look carefully at costs and expenditure, making economies where they can. For
the second year in a row student numbers at PET have been down. Last year we did some serious
restructuring in order to be sustainable. We are now part way through this restructuring. The
challenge before us is how to put the organisation and training on a sound financial footing at thesame time as maintaining the good name that PET has built up over the years. In addition to this we
want to develop the activities, courses and partnerships that PET is involved in.
The Trustees of the Psychosynthesis & Education Trust, who are also the Directors of the charitablecompany, present their annual report and the audited statements for the year ended 31 August
2010. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and
articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.
A word from the Chair:
Over the last year we undertook a major review of the curriculum and were able to rationalise it and
iron out any duplication of course material. The revised training programme continues to meet BACP
and UKCP requirements. During the year we were due to undertake a collaborative review with theUniversity of East London. Due to the restructuring, this was postponed to the current academic
year and the University is very pleased with the outcome. Through such working together we aim to
continue to improve and refine what we are offering to students and to keep our courses in line with
up-to-date thinking and practice in the field.
We have many challenges still ahead of us. Hopefully through the stakeholder meetings and the
organisational audit we will continue to make the changes necessary within the organisation in order
that we may continue to offer psychosynthesis training at its best .
In December 2010 we started looking at our reputation as a training organisation and how we might
improve it. This led to series of meetings where we engaged in conversation with all those with a
stake in PET. This exercise has been very useful and is still ongoing. From it we hope to introduce
measures that will make PET a more responsive and vital body. In recent weeks we have also
undertaken an organisational audit to see if we are using our resources and personnel in the most
effective way. At the present time we are awaiting the feedback report from this audit. These
exercises are often salutary. They help us to become aware of what needs to be done in order to
provide a better and more attractive training.

Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 August 2010
The Organisation
Aims and Objectives
Our aims are:
support people as they find their place within an intricate network of relationships and within
society.
The Trust is also a member of the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) and a founding
member of the European Federation for Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy (EFPP). All Trust staff
subscribe to Codes of Practice and Ethics of these bodies. A team of qualified psychosynthesis
practitioners teach and supervise students. The team members are drawn from various backgrounds
and disciplines, including psychology, education, philosophy, religious practice, psychiatry,
organisational work and management. The Trusts programmes are validated by the University of
East London (School of Psychology).
provide psychosynthesis educational techniques suitable for schools and adult education.
The Trust operates its own Counselling Referral Service which is particularly suitable for clients who
might be less confident about contacting a therapist directly. The Counselling Service Manager
assesses and places clients with the counsellor who best fits their needs and diagnosis. Thisservice also includes low cost counselling for those on low incomes.
The Trust is a training and accrediting member of the Humanistic and Integrative Psychology
Section of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and was one of the first
counselling training organisations to be accredited by the British Association for Counselling (and
Psychotherapy).
The Psychosynthesis and Education Trust is the longest established psychosynthesis centre in
Britain. It was founded in 1965 by 'the father of psychosynthesis', Roberto Assagioli, together with
Sir George Trevelyan, Dr Martin Israel and Geoffrey Leytham.
The modern training programmes were developed from 1982 onwards by Diana Whitmore and
others, who studied under Assagioli, and who now continues her connection with the Trust as a
Trustee.
The Trust's main purpose is to gain recognition for the central role of soul and Self in psychology
and to renew the soul in the everyday life of individuals, the family, groups, organisations and
society.
Our vocation is to address the needs of the students and clients in a way that is pragmatic as well
as spiritual and relevant to everyday life. We acknowledge both pain and potential in the human
experience.
work with people in life crisis.
promote the practice of transpersonal counselling and psychotherapy by providing a training
centre of excellence.
promote the value of psycho-spiritual work in counselling, psychotherapy and education
through research, dissemination and publication.

needs of the Trust, in terms of the skills individual new Trustees bring to the board, the spread of
skills, and the social diversity of the board.

background and principles of psychosynthesis they attend a short training course. Existing Trustees
review available opportunities for networking and training. In the last year members of the boardattended the Annual Charity Conference.

Psychosynthesis and Education Trust
Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 August 2010
Review of activities 2009/10
Counselling & Psychotherapy Training
Future developments
Developing fresh workshops aimed at those working in business
Developing Partnership working further and re-engaging with existing partners
Delivering new courses
Revising, refreshing and developing our curriculum.
Public Benefit
We have had a wide range of events in this programme aimed at graduates and others interested in
professional development. The programme involved an event at least once a month.
In addition the Trust continues to have two intakes of the 2 year Post Graduate Diplomas and a
number of Students were awarded these in the year.
Essentials Out of LondonWe have continued the successful Essentials course run outside London at Findhorn College in
Scotland. This continues to be well supported.
Counselling ServiceThe counselling service continued to deliver psychosynthesis counselling to the general public,
some of it low cost. The overall number of clients decreased a little but continued to include low
cost clients.
The Trusts professional counselling & psychotherapy training student numbers decreased in the
year. However new students joined the introductory Essentials course which ran several times this
year. It continues to be well attended and we intend to increase numbers. We also offer a
Foundation course.
Graduate Studies Programme
We intend to increase the availability of low cost counselling, bursaries and internships as and when
we can afford to do so. We are keen to expand our responsiveness to social need by adapting and
creating new short courses for the public alongside the training. We are also looking to increase the
diversity of our student body so that it is more representative of the population at large.
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance
on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future
activities.
As befits our charitable status we are looking at ways in which we can be of greater service to the
community. This is done in the context of, and with regard to, the Charity Commissions guidance on
public benefit.

Psychosynthesis and Education Trust
Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 August 2010
Income generation and fundraising
Financial Position
Reserves Policy
Risk
The financial results for the year ended 31 August showed a loss of 103k. The effect of the loss
was to reduce the balance carried forward to 226k. The main cause of the loss was reduced
income from student intake due primarily to uncertainty caused by the economic climate. To
increase working capital, 133k was released from the Trust's freehold property by way of
remortgage that was finalised in October 2010.
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements inaccordance with applicable law and regulations.
They maintain a risk register, and this is reviewed regularly to ensure that all risks have been
properly identified and amelioration plans are in place where appropriate.
The Trustees have examined, in conjunction with the senior management team, the significant risks
that might affect the continued operation of the charity.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
The main role of reserves is to permit the charity to manage change effectively, particularly where
the regulatory and educational frameworks within which the Trust operates undergoes change.
Currently the reserves policy is to retain six months operating costs, covering key staff and
overheads, amounting to some 165k. This level has not yet been achieved and the level of freereserves at the year end stood at (403,000).
The Trustees have reviewed their reserves policy and aim to commit as much as possible to
furthering the charitys objectives, while retaining financial stability and the potential to respond to
new opportunities.
Some income is generated by book sales and publishing; a small amount of capitation funding is
received from the University of East London; but most of the Trusts income is generated by tuition
fees and letting the building. The Trust has not invested resources in fundraising during the
financial year.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under
that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and
applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless
they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company
and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure,
of the charitable company for that period.

we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them
in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not

requirements and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).

accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, have been prepared inaccordance with the Companies Act 2006 and give a true and fair view. We also report to you

aware of any apparent misstatements within it.

Helen Elliott
Senior Statutory Auditor
for and on behalf of Sayer Vincent, Statutory Auditors
In our opinion:
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31
August 2010 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income
and expenditure, for the year then ended;
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which weconsidered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance
that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation
of information in the financial statements.
27 May 2011
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act
2006; and
the information given in the annual report of the Trustees is consistent with the financial
statements.
In forming our opinion on the financial statements, we have considered the adequacy of thedisclosure made in note 1 to the financial statements concerning the charitable companys ability to
continue as a going concern. The charitable company has restructured in order to reduce costs. Its
viability will rely primarily on maintaining student numbers and the bank's renewal of the overdraft
facility. In view of the significance of the uncertainty we consider it should be drawn to your attention,
but our opinion is not qualified in this respect.
