What does KCA do?KCA is a registered charity that provides
specialist care to those affected by drugs,
alcohol and mental health issues across London
and south east England. We have become
national leaders in the delivery of evidence-
based, recovery-focused services.
Established in 1975, we have substantial
experience of delivering high-quality Substance
Misuse Services for adults and young people
and provide evidence-based and holistic
treatments for those with mild to severe mental
health issues.
Our aim is to work within communities and
families to help people unlock solutions to
their difficulties, by ensuring that we tailor our
treatment and support to their individual needs.
Our services are well-equipped to provide
innovative, effective, recovery-focused
treatment that enables people to get the help
and support they need to improve their health
and wellbeing and their future opportunities.

Message from our Chair of Trustees, William WillisIn my first message as the new Chair of Trustees, I would like to thank the many staff who have put in so much effort over the last year.
KCA has seen many changes and, without
doubt, 2014 will bring fresh challenges.
We will be led through the challenges of
the coming year by our new CEO, Ryan
Campbell, who has joined us from RAPt.
By the nature of our contracts, change is
inevitable. Contracts are re-commissioned and
are increasing in both size and complexity. These
often require new ways of working, with both
our clients and their families and with partner
organisations. We now also deliver Any Qualified
Provider services which, although initially
challenging, have the potential to yield new
business acumen for the organisation and further
refine our desire to deliver excellent outcomes.
The Board of Trustees has also seen changes.
Elisabeth Hirlemann resigned as Chair after
giving much of her time, energy and experience
to provide leadership through a period of great
change. We also welcome a new Trustee, Abigail
Greves, and say farewell to Judith Richards.
I am also sad to say KCA has lost some dear
friends this year who will be greatly missed:
Sheila Wirz and Lady Julia Pender. Lady Pender
was our President for the last 14 years. However,
Julia far exceeded her role by actively promoting
KCA to the wider world. Sheila had been both
a Trustee and Chair during the period when
KCA developed from a Kent-based organisation,
to one stretching across London and the
south east.
As we move into 2014, we will continue to
embrace change: developing strength and
flexibility through partnerships, obtaining key
contracts, keeping quality as high as we can
within budgets, cutting any unnecessary costs
and maximising the use of our facilities. By
doing these to the best of our ability, KCA will
continue to provide the services that bring
beneficial change to our clients and meet our
commissioners’ requirements.

This report only showcases our impact across
a small selection of our services and we
provide many more services across a diverse,
geographic area. Our work, broadly speaking,
does two things: it prevents harm to individuals
and society but, furthermore, it promotes good.
People in recovery, and that includes the families
around them, are the greatest force I have ever
seen for ‘putting something back’, and they often
give back far more to their friends, families and
their communities than they have ever ‘taken
out’. In a time of austerity and cuts, this force for
good is one of the things that will help get us all
through the hard times.
I would also like to pay tribute to the immense
dedication, motivation, willingness to change,
hope and hard work of our staff and volunteers.
I am a new Chief Executive at KCA: for the
majority of the period covered by this report I
wasn’t here, so I am resting on, and immensely
proud of, the achievements of our workforce –
both paid and unpaid. Everyone contributes their
professional skills and individual creativity as
great people in great teams.
Finally, I must thank our commissioners.
Commissioning in a time of cuts and change is
hard. Our commissioners have been supportive,
expert and great partners in achieving everything
that is written about in the following pages.
Introduction by Ryan Campbell, Chief ExecutiveThis report is a showcase of what can be achieved through dedication, motivation, willingness to change, the power of hope, and sheer hard work – on the part of our service users and their families and others around them. It is KCA’s great privilege to be able to contribute to and help facilitate that process.

Adult Substance Misuse Services Our Substance Misuse Services support
adults who are experiencing problems related
to their own, or someone else’s, drug or
alcohol use. Our support and treatments are
focused on providing specialist interventions,
tailored to individual needs, that address
substance misuse and help people achieve
recovery and improve their quality of life.
We provide services in Wandsworth,
Croydon, Barking and Dagenham, Richmond,
Wokingham, Reading and Medway.

“As a child, an accident in a park changed my life. I lost my confidence and I was emotionally traumatised after losing most of my teeth. For much of my adolescence I was bullied and started stealing to get attention; this eventually landed me in a young offenders’ institute for nine months. During secondary school, I was pressured into drinking alcohol and sniffing glue and aerosols, which led to smoking cannabis regularly to fit in.
At 19, I got a job in a play scheme and worked my way up the ranks by passing exams and placements in different nurseries. Although I was doing well in this job, my friends still influenced my social life and my habit progressed to cocaine, which made me paranoid and insecure.
While working as a live-in nanny, I was attacked outside the family’s house after a dispute between my boss’s child and another local child. With a severe head wound, I found myself addicted to painkillers and alcohol, which made me aggressive.
Over the years, I was able to hold down a number of different jobs, sometimes two at a time, but I was spending more than £300 a week on my habit and drinking alcohol to help me sleep.
It wasn’t until nearly 30 years later, that I had the courage to see my GP and ask for help. I was referred to a rehabilitation house and attended a 12-week programme, but on the day I came out of the programme I used.
Robert’s Story
Case Study
www.kca.org.ukwww.kca.org.uk 8
In January this year it all came to a head. I was really behind with my paperwork and struggling to focus at work so I decided to tell my manager.
I got in touch with IDAS and started attending an eight-week programme. I wrote a diary of my journey through the programme, which I gave to my worker as a ‘thank you’ for supporting me.
I have now been clean for six months and my confidence has grown massively. My worker was great and really helped me to kick the habit. I used to hate weekends as the groups wouldn’t be on but I have now started to see my family a lot more. I am still friends with people who were on the group, and I still regularly attend the breakfast clubs and Air Football.”

Wokingham Horizon
Our service has gone from strength to strength
this year, with a 108% increase in referrals and a
58% increase in completed triage assessments.
The number of service users attending the
structured day programme has increased by
132% after proactive promotion of the service
within local GP surgeries and with partner
agencies. A series of clear, simple referral
pathways has also been developed to enable
easy and timely access to the service.
Our comprehensive 16-week Psychosocial
Pathway for Recovery is based on one-to-one
and group intervention options, to help guide
our service users through their recovery journey.
We provide two new groups: Everyday Living,
a low intensity, entry level, structured group,
which focuses on life skills; and a Women’s
Group, which delivers core, recovery-focused
interventions alongside issues that particularly
impact women with substance misuse problems.
Front line working has also significantly
improved between partner agencies as a result
of a Frontline Workers’ Forum, which was set
up to provide a regular opportunity for front line
staff to meet to discuss new developments
and referrals.
The service has gone from strength
to strength this year, with a 108% increase
in referrals and a 58% increase in completed
triage assessments.

IDAS Wandsworth
Our service in Wandsworth continues to deliver
a unique, whole treatment system for service
users through a one-stop shop at its four service
centres. The service is delivered in partnership
by KCA and Blenheim and, in its first year, has
engaged with more than 1,900 people and
enabled more than 300 people to successfully
complete their treatment, dependence free.
Recovery was high on the agenda at an
event held to celebrate the service’s first
birthday, attended by more than 100 industry
professionals and stakeholders, including GPs,
police, councillors, commissioners and staff.
Service users’ accounts of their past lives and
their positive experience of IDAS services played
a central role in the event.
The service engaged with more than 1,900 people in its first year
and enabled more than 300 people to
successfully complete their treatment,
dependence free.
“The service users were delighted to put forward a representative, Brian, who talked about his own treatment journey. They felt this
boded well for involving service users within the new system in the future.”

Mental Health ServicesOur aim is to support people to improve their mental health
and wellbeing and we’ve been doing this successfully since
the organisation started in 1975. Our Mental Health Services
are tailored to clients’ individual needs and the demands of
the local population.
We provide IAPT services across Kent and Medway, Surrey
and Havering. We also provide treatment in several Kent
prisons and work closely with Kent probation services.
All of our IAPT services have exceeded the national average
of Moving to Recovery.*
* Health and Social Care Information Centre
More than 30,000 people have been referred to our Mental Health Services
Qualified teacher, Michael, says he has always been a worrier. He thinks this stemmed from a childhood in and out of hospital after developing colitis and then Crohn’s disease.
Michael said he started to worry more when he got married and bought a house: “As time went on I felt the pressure of having responsibilities and I became obsessive about trying to prevent bad things from happening.”
He remembers his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) grew very slowly: “At first I started to check that doors and windows were locked and electrical appliances unplugged before I went to bed or left the house.” This slowly got worse and, before long, it would take him hours to leave the house. Michael also washed his hands constantly, religiously following a set routine.
As his responsibilities increased, both at work and at home, his OCD became more difficult to manage. Michael’s wife suggested asking his GP for help. His GP was very supportive and referred him to KCA. After assessment, he was invited to attend a Feel Well Live Well group for six weeks, along with other people with similar conditions. As Michael reported experiencing severe symptoms of OCD, he was also referred for some intensive one-to-one treatment with Amy, a KCA therapist.
Michael said: “Amy tried to teach me how to think of OCD as a bully, and how to avoid acting on my obsessive thoughts by separating them out as my bully’s thoughts.” Michael started a worry hour, putting all his worries off until 5pm, when he found he had slowly forgotten what they were.
www.kca.org.uk13
Michael’s Story
Case Study
Michael gradually started to reduce his checking habits at home, including the amount of soap he used, which he said was really challenging. He also wrote a diary of thoughts which he could go back and reflect on.
Michael was slowly getting better but then the new school term started. With lots of changes at his school, he felt more and more under pressure, which resulted in his Crohn’s disease flaring up and increased his stress and OCD tendencies. His consultant recommended he change his career to manage his conditions, and Michael then made the very difficult decision to give up the teaching profession. After a frantic few months, and an increase in his stress and anxiety levels, Michael’s wife started a new job and he stayed at home to look after the children.
It was then Michael decided to come back to KCA to beat his OCD for good. He said:“I felt like I’d failed but I wanted to beat it this time.” He started to see Amy again, which he said gave him comfort and reassurance as she knew his past and the issues he was facing. He was given more intensive, practical treatment that helped him to challenge his thoughts and the way he was feeling.
Michael found his treatment life-changing and is now in a good place: “I feel really positive and a lot happier. I have resources at home to help me if I have a setback, but I can push aside my OCD thoughts as intrusive ones and carry on.
“We now also have a cat – which I could never have had near me before.
“I can’t fault the help I’ve had from KCA. I have my life back and my children have their dad back.”

Surrey
Surrey underwent a significant transition
when the service’s previous contract, New
Thoughts, came to an end. With the arrival of
an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) commissioning
structure in April 2013, the new service was
able to see people who were waiting for
treatment from the previous contract, as
there had been 30% higher referral levels
than initially anticipated.
Services are now provided within the new
model and have increased access to timely,
efficient and high-quality services. Developing
a competent and qualified workforce was also
a significant focus for our services and, with a
national shortage of experienced practitioners,
trainees were recruited to provide a range of
additional support to deliver our services to
a high standard.
We have developed a broader range of NICE
recommended therapies, including counselling
for depression and couples therapy. We continue
to advocate services for older adults and 55%
of people who enter our service over the age of
65 achieve recovery, against a national target
of 50%.
“Working for KCA Surrey has opened up a number of
opportunities for both my personal and professional
development. I am working towards completing training to
be a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner. I find the role
immensely rewarding and the support of my colleagues has made KCA Surrey an enjoyable place to work.”

Thanet
Thanet is one of our largest Mental Health
Services and received 3,599 referrals during the
past year; a 29% increase on the previous year.
With dense pockets of deprivation and
unemployment, Thanet’s need for mental
health support and treatment is high, with
more complex issues needing support
and intervention. With 28.3% of the overall
population aged 60 and over, Thanet’s life
expectancy is lower than the average life
expectancy for England.
The service is committed to engaging with
older adults who may otherwise not access
help. For example, Feel Well Live Well groups
provide support for mild to moderate mental
health issues, such as anxiety and depression,
and offer interaction with others who are
dealing with similar issues. Our eight-week
programme provides a friendly, open forum
that focuses on problems that can be faced in
later life, such as loneliness and living with a
long-term condition.
Clients are encouraged to participate in Move
to Improve sessions, in addition to their
treatment, which offer a chance for them to
meet people with similar conditions and enjoy
taking part in exercise to improve their health
and wellbeing: both the swimming and walking
groups have proved very popular.

Young Persons’ ServicesOur Young Persons’ Services provide
specialist drug and alcohol support for
10 to 17 year olds. We offer a range
of early intervention, education and
prevention programmes in schools,
youth clubs and other young people
friendly settings. We help young people
understand the effects of substance
misuse and the harm it can cause to
them and those around them, and we
support them to reach their full potential.
During the past year, we have come
into contact with more than 11,000
young people across all of our Young
Persons’ Services, which are located
in Kent, Medway, Bromley, Greenwich,
Wokingham, and Feltham and Cookham
Wood Young Offenders’ Institutes.
Dan began to have depressing thoughts about life in his teens and started to smoke cannabis at 14 as a way to cope and make himself feel better.
His cannabis use then led to experimenting with other drugs, including MDMA. Soon he was spending all his money on drugs and was never at home. Dan didn’t want to talk to anyone and, when he was at home, he would just hide away in his bedroom. He had starting getting paranoid thoughts and his depression was getting worse.
Dan’s school work was suffering: he wasn’t paying attention and had lost interest. After getting drunk alone, and attempting to take his own life, Dan realised he needed help: “I knew my thoughts weren’t natural,” he said.
Dan spoke to his mum, who asked his school for help. The school contacted KCA and two counsellors came into school to work with him.

Dan’s Story
Case Study
Dan said: “They made me look at the mental and physical effects of not looking after myself and I realised that I needed to shape-up fast, otherwise I could do some serious damage. They couldn’t have been more helpful and I was able to have as many sessions as I needed. They always had a smile on their faces and didn’t judge or patronise me. I feel that KCA has saved my life.”
At 17, Dan is now doing really well and has started a Health and Social Care qualification at his local college. He says he’d like to work in the drug and alcohol field one day, to help other young people.

Kent Young Persons’ Service
We have engaged with more than 8,000 young
people in either group work, one-to-one brief
interventions, or through the Kent Youth Drug
Intervention Scheme (KYDIS), a new project
developed with Kent Police. Close working with
sexual health outreach services has also enabled
us to forge better links for our Young Persons’
Services and created further opportunities to
look at all factors relating to substance misuse
and its effects on risky behaviour.
The RisKit project continues to achieve good
engagement with young people aged 14 to 16
and more than 400 young people have taken
part in the programme since it started four years
ago. The project is an early intervention for those
young people who are vulnerable to risk-taking
behaviour, which includes drug and alcohol use,
early and unprotected sex and offending. Good
outcomes have been evidenced as quantitative
evaluation has shown significant reductions in
their alcohol use and a reduction in their use
of illicit drugs (as measured by percentage
days abstinent and drinks per drinking day),
from the start of the programme and up to
three months after.
Giving young people a voice is at the forefront
of the Young Persons’ Service and regular
focus groups are organised to gauge feedback.
Two short films have also been made by young
people who have experience of substance
misuse, working with the Engage Project, funded
by Kent County Council and Folkestone West
Neighbourhood projects. These films highlight
the effects of using cannabis, and the impact
of substance misuse on young people, and
were filmed and edited by young people, and a
substance misuse practitioner, using an iPad.
“I used to get drunk all weekend, but now I just have one drink
on a Saturday”
When leaving the service, 90% of our
young people have met their agreed care plan
goals, compared to the national average of 79%.

Feltham Young Offenders’ Institute
Our unique new service in Feltham Young
Offenders’ Institute provides Substance Misuse
Services for young adults aged 18-21 and is
delivered in partnership with RAPt. In its first
year alone, we have seen more than 2,200 young
adults in the prison, and young adults suggested
the service’s new name - J2R (Journey 2
Recovery).
Funding was secured to provide drama sessions
to develop the young adults’ confidence and
interactive skills. The Outside Edge Theatre
Workshops delivered weekly sessions with a
J2R worker and are working towards a show,
which will be performed in front of family and
friends. One participant said: “For the time I was
in group, I forgot I was in prison.”
Building trusting relationships with service users
and their families, and working on integrating
them back into their communities is a key
priority for the service.

Family Intervention Project
Improving the quality of family life and
relationships is at the heart of all of our
services. The contract for our Family
Intervention Project (FIP), Stronger Families,
was awarded in January 2013. The service
focuses on strengthening the resources and
resilience of families by reducing exclusions
and truancy, anti-social behaviour and
offending rates and by helping adults into
continuous employment.
The workers provide families with dedicated
support that is practical, intensive and
personalised to suit their individual needs
and help them take control of their lives.
Four teams of highly skilled workers are
based across the county and work with
a range of public agencies to reduce the
number of interventions that an individual
family may need.
Julie was struggling to cope with daily life. She was drinking heavily and lived in a small, unsuitable flat with three boys under the age of five. The Stronger Families FIP worker, Tina, helped to make the flat safer, but also worked with the local council’s housing team, to identify more suitable accommodation for the family. Tina also referred Julie to her local alcohol service to get treatment for her alcohol issues.
Tina also engaged with the family’s grandparents, who were able to offer additional support by looking after the children while Julie was having treatment. Tina gave advice on parenting skills and diet and nutrition, and helped establish a daily routine including social and play activities. The children now go to local nurseries and Julie has returned to college to study nursing. Tina’s intensive, practical support has helped Julie to think about the future in more optimistic terms and to work towards the financial independence and emotional stability she needs to look after her family.

Long-Term Conditions
Focus on Diabetes Psychological Services
Our Diabetes Psychological Service across Kent
and Medway provides emotional support and
care for people with diabetes who experience
reduced psychological wellbeing.
Providing services for people with long-term
conditions is an important element of our
work that ensures our services meet the local
population’s broader needs.
The service supports people with diabetes to
manage their symptoms and treatment routines
and deal with the lifestyle changes and negative
emotions that can be a part of living with the
condition. The aim is to enable patients to
manage their diabetes with confidence and look
after their mental health and wellbeing.
An online training resource has also been
developed to help health professionals and
patients find out more about the psychological
aspects of living with and managing diabetes
and how to reduce its impact on quality of life.

After being diagnosed with diabetes at 47, Kevin said he felt like everything had been taken away from him.
Now 55, Kevin was initially referred to KCA by his GP for counselling sessions as he was dealing with severe depression after family bereavements. He also has Type 2 diabetes, and was struggling to manage his treatment routines, particularly working out how to take his medication and make changes to his diet. He said this also had an effect on his family and on his social life, as he couldn’t drink alcohol with his diabetes medication.
Kevin’s therapist referred him to KCA’s Diabetes Psychological Service as part of his treatment, which he felt would enable him to get the help he needed to manage his condition and improve his mental health and wellbeing.
Kevin has had five, weekly sessions with his therapist and says it has made an enormous difference to his quality of life: “Seeing someone about managing my diabetes and also how I am feeling has helped tie the two together. It has helped alleviate the fears and worries I had and has given me more control and input into how I manage my diabetes.”
Kevin is now making more use of online resources to help him manage his condition and has also lost weight, as he is more relaxed and his stress and anxiety levels have decreased.

Training and Professional DevelopmentOur training policy goes beyond the Care
Quality Commission’s requirements for
the qualifications, knowledge and skills
of our workers, to ensure that we can
provide the best service and information
to our service users, clients and partners.
A wide range of Open College Network
(OCN) Level 3 accredited training
programmes have been developed for all
substance misuse workers and, in the past
year, 61 staff with no formal qualifications
within the substance misuse field have
achieved OCN Level 3 accreditation.
Training has been delivered to more than
380 professionals during the past year.
“KCA has always kept the service user at the heart of its service delivery, which is why I love my job and the people I work
with. Every day I am continually in awe of the commitment and drive of the young
persons’ team. Working with people who are passionate and committed to offering
young people the best service is the reason why I work here.”
Staff ProfileSteve ButlerYoung Persons’ Service Operations Manager
Steve has worked at KCA for more
than 10 years after a number of careers
in banking, property development
and in the ambulance service.

“When I first started, I was on the front desk meeting and greeting clients and
answering the busy telephones. After a couple of months I was asked to start
facilitating on ATR and DRR groups.
I then succeeded in getting a job with KCA through my volunteering experience and started delivering Motivational Sessions.
There are so many things I have learnt with KCA, too many to mention, and I am
learning all the time. I can say with all honesty this has probably been the best
two years of my life.”

Volunteering Our placements offer a great opportunity for people
to gain experience of working within the drug, alcohol
and mental health fields, and in the charity sector.
We have a large number of volunteer placements at
any one time, with 222 people volunteering for us in
the past year in a wide range of roles and services,
including administration, front of house, counselling
and group coordinators. Each of the roles provides
us with invaluable support and, in turn, volunteers
gain useful skills and experience and attend internal
training to support their development and learning.
A high proportion of our staff originally joined
KCA as volunteers. Although volunteering
doesn’t guarantee a job at the end, it does give
people valuable experience, which increases
their chances of becoming employed within the
drug and alcohol or mental health sectors.
