The aim of the Charity is that the remaining costs are met by income from fundraising and donations.

The specialist requirements for assisting children preclude the Charity from providing services to children under the age of sixteen with a brain injury. Otherwise, the Charity's services are available to all people with brain injury, subject to an assessment of needs, regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnicity or social grouping.

Organisation

The Trustees meet as a Board a minimum of six times a year, administer the Charity and are responsible for charity governance, minimising risk and compliance with the Charity Commission guidelines.

David Ball has subsequently agreed to take on the role of vice chair.

Following the AGM, the Board consisted of seven Trustees. Since the end of the financial year, one additional Trustee has resigned, whilst one new co-opted Trustee has joined the Board. The co-opted Trustee will be considered for appointment at the next AGM.

The Board have completed a thorough skills assessment in order to inform recruitment needs and are actively seeking new Trustees to join the Board to fill the vacant positions.

As part of the Charity’s routine policies and procedures, all Trustees are provided with an induction to their role. They are invited to attend training and induction workshops within six months of joining, which covers charity governance, compliance and the essential duties and responsibilities of trustees and directors.

Review of Services & Activities

Impact of Covid-19

The COVID19 pandemic had a large impact on Headway Bristol.

Just as hospitals’ doors were still open, albeit with changes, our service still needed to run with some rapid changes to ensure the safety of our service users and staff.

The team at Headway Bristol took the challenge which not only affected and saw changes in their work life but also their personal life and we worked together to ensure our brain injured community were able to continue to feel supported and also on hand for any emergency situations.

It was a time of such uncertainty for everyone but the organisation and its service users as well as staff all came together to ensure Headway’s activities continued as best they could.

Overview of Services

The Charity's services are mainly provided in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North and North East Somerset. However, where there is a need identified, and no alternative appropriate service provider, the Charity will consider delivering these services outside these geographic areas where appropriate.

During 2020 to support with covid restriction of limited numbers in day centre settings HWB took the decision to open two outposts to enable all clients to attend the day centre. The opening of the two outposts was planned for later in the year to support with clients who struggle to secure transport package mostly relating to funding and location restrictions. The charity intends in 2021 to look at the logistics and need within other geographical areas we cover for further outposts.

Re-ablement Day Centre

The Re-ablement Day Centre is the largest part of the services provided by the Charity.

Prior to the impact of COVID19, the Day Centre was open five days a week, offering Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT) along with social activities to support individuals with different levels of needs. However, following the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020, the Charity was required to suspend services.

Over the course of the lockdown, staff responded to the changing lockdown requirements and when the Charity were forced to stop providing face to face services the team worked in a dynamic way to ensure that we continued to support service users in whatever ways possible and to keep a daily overview of our service users’ wellbeing.

The same principal applied for our 1:1 outreach service whilst restrictions were enforced due to the risk to clients, which we have expanded on further in the relevant section.

The charity continued to work closely with the local authorities and CCG. The local authorities continue to support the charity with funding the placements of our clients throughout the pandemic, which enabled the charity to provide remote services.

Our clients engaged in our virtual services and here is a piece one of our service users wrote reflecting on this time:

“Headway Has Handled This Pandemic Brilliantly, maintaining excellent standard.

A Year to Be Remembered

“It's been a very challenging twelve months for everyone. Headway has changed, but kept their passion flowing through new paths, igniting bright new openings.

It was a dark day when I got the news Headway was closed because of the national lock down. I didn't know when it would open again, or what would happen in the meantime. Initially, they suggested individual weekly home visits, but it wasn't plausible because of the stay at home rules. It was changed to personal phone and video chats and online activities tailored to suit everyone's particular needs and skills.

It showed me how much they care about their clients – my designated member of staff always asked me how I was doing and what I'd been up to every week. They even dropped off an activity pack for everyone, to help keep us occupied at home. They went out of their way to take care of us; I wasn't expecting anywhere near as much conscientiousness as they provided and continue to do so.

HEADWAY BRISTOL BRAIN INJURY ASSOCIATION LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

I was over the moon when I got the news that the centre is open again; it really lifted my spirits along with everyone else's. They helpfully sent out a letter a couple of weeks before the opening date detailing the changes they'd made in day to day running to keep everyone safe.

Before you can enter the main reception area, you have your temperature checked in the foyer; if it's high you can't go in. It's a precaution that needs to be taken for safety and peace of mind. After rubbing antibacterial sanitizing gel on your hands you can go in and take a seat in the area designated for you.

Chairs are spaced out around the room with two meters between them in order to abide with social distancing rules. It makes it harder to have conversations, but it's a small price to pay. They have accommodated everyone's particular needs; they always provide me with a special chair with back and neck support.

We can't do everything we could before; there are health and safely and cross contamination concerns regarding cooking, so that's off the curriculum for now. There are similar issues with music therapy; we can't wipe instruments down every time they're passed to the next person so it would be very limited.

There are still a lot of activities we can do, like art of various different types, word games, quizzes about different subjects such as music and history, cognitive exercises that really make you think, and interactional and educational presentations.

It is something to look forward to every week, especially when everything else is shut.

They gave me a project to work on not long after reopening – I chose the subject matter – it kept me occupied and sane during the second and third lock downs; for that I am very grateful. It goes to show anything is possible with the right insight and perseverance”.

Thank you NF

To ensure staff are able to deliver the specialist nature of the service, the Charity provided specialist CRT training for all relevant staff at the end of 2020, all staff had fully completed the training and received their accredited training certificates during 2020.

Community Outreach Service

The Charity’s one-to-one Community Outreach service, which is delivered in the community and within individuals’ homes, continues to be commissioned by all the authorities the Charity works with. The Charity continues to see successes with service-users’ rehabilitation which results in either decreasing or ending their support package and enabling them to move towards being independent. This is seen as a huge success for both service-users and highlights the effectiveness of the Charity’s service.

The Charity’s key objectives for both the Re-ablement Day Centre and Outreach fall into the following categories and a CRT programme is followed in each category:

HEADWAY BRISTOL BRAIN INJURY ASSOCIATION LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Following the first UK lockdown, the Charity suspended face to face services for three months. When the decision was made to stop community services due to the Covid – 19 pandemic Headway Bristol immediately looked a way in which we could adapt our service to offer some sort of continuity to our service users and carers.

This was all achieved by offering remote service over the phone, zoom etc. and dropping cognitive packs off to all our clients.

Alongside this we were available for emergency welfare visits, food shops etc.

Each of our clients was phoned at the time they normally have their outreach session and the full time they are normally assigned was offered to enable them to engage with staff over the phone or zoom working on their cognitive packs etc.

The charity continued to receive referrals for its services during this time and engaged the hospital and community navigators’ service to support those waiting to access our service. The team provided a weekly check in and, if and where appropriate, signposting to other appropriate services and online tools whilst they waited to engage with Headway Bristol services.

Following this 3 month period we then reverted back to a mix of face to face and virtual services.

Working within the specialist service remit Headway Bristol were keen to resume face to face services as early as it was safe to do so.

It did see the organisation having to overcome a multitude of hurdles and a lot of work to ensure each of our service users’ needs were looked at individually taking the effect the pandemic already would have had on them to enable us to formulate individualised risk assessments to resume face to face services.

All staff were kitted out with a COVID-19 work bag which formed part of the risk reduction plan we had in place. These purchases were made possible by the infection control grants we were able to apply for.

Whilst work has been carried out in a very different way to the normal way of Headway Bristol our aim was for clients to feel fulfilled and still part of their community.

CCG Support

The Charity receives an annual grant from South Gloucestershire BNSSCG which supports the delivery of services to people living with the long-term effects of a brain injury. Discussions had

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

hoped to be had in April 2020 to look at further supporting of the charity and its work however again due to the COVID19 pandemic these discussions were put on hold until 2021.

Hospital and Community Navigators

The Carers & Community Support Service continues to rely solely on funds generated by fundraising.

During 2020 the work of the hospital and community navigators changed dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hospital and community navigators were unable to deliver normal service within the hospital and rehab settings and carers groups meetings were delivered virtually rather than face to face.

The impact on carers has been very apparent, with the restrictions preventing normal visiting in hospital, particular during the ICU stage. Whilst the pressure within the NHS was apparent to all, the lack of normal communication and visiting made what is already a stressful situation for carers and family more distressing.

The charity worked consistently through the pandemic with all hospitals and rehab centres it delivers its carers services within to support carers. This included considering the ways to ensure carers were not falling through the net and continuing to support them, albeit in a hugely different working way the Charities normal everyday practice.

Further strategic work is planned in 2021 to considering how Headway Bristol can best utilize its limited resources within this important, unfunded service.

Volunteers

All volunteer support during 2020 were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the risk to our volunteers. Unfortunately, but understandably, some of our long standing volunteers took the decision during this time to end their volunteering role with the charity.

Headway Bristol are very grateful for the dedication many of our volunteers have shown us over the years and the skills and positivity they brought to the charity and those who access services. The charity plans to look at the future of volunteers and engaging them to support the work of the charity.

Future Developments

The charity intends to reflect on 2020 and look at what can be done as a short/medium/long term plans. This is considering the impact COVID-19 has had on our brain injury community and how this may see the previous priorities of the charity change.

There has been an obvious increase for all of the Charity services and it became apparent as services were adapted in response to Covid-19 that the charity now needs to consider how we offer services and looks to plan for additional services, to ensure the best care for our service users.

To support this, the Charity will revisit the business plan that was reviewed in 2019 to consider new ways in which to deliver the services that it currently provides, and to consider potential new

services that would help the Charity meet its objectives. The Charity’s relationships with its funders are crucial and 2021 will see the Charity continue conversations with funders regarding the services that Headway Bristol offers.

As part of the review of services, the Board approved the introduction of satellite centres to provide services in different locations and thereby improving service-users’ ability to access services. To adhere to reduced numbers in day centres to enable clients to come back to face-to-face services the board gave agreement for the satellites to be opened in January 2021. Both groups were met with high demand with the Greenway at capacity with no available spaces.

We will now look to engage those on our waiting list in preparation for when reduced size groups are no longer required.

At the end of 2019, South Gloucestershire Council began discussions around a new framework agreement for specialist services. Their intention is to establish a working party to include organisations’ representatives to provide input into how this model should look. The Charity was committed to playing an active part in this process in 2020 however due to the Covid – 19 pandemic planned work and projects such as this were suspended.

Frenchay Beckspool Building Lease Ends

Throughout 2019 and the beginning of 2020 there continued to be meetings held with the North Bristol NHS Trust with regard to the Charity’s lease on the Frenchay Beckspool Building, which was due to expire in January 2021. Negotiations were agreed with an extension to the lease to 31 January 2022 with the charity incurring full rental costs from July 2021.

The Charity has taken steps to consider the longer-term plans for following the end of the lease term, which has included considering alternative locations through a sub group of the Board, including the Service Director and three Trustees.

Fundraising

In 2020 due to the covid – 19 pandemic the charity saw its entire fundraising calendar of planned events cancelled.

The charity applied to various grants and trusts to support with the loss of fundraising income and the team, along with our supporters, were dynamic with their thinking, holding online fundraising events.

Our charity partners - Airbus and the Great Western Chapter Harley Davidson group - continued to support the charity throughout the pandemic and whilst fundraising events they had planned could not go ahead they were instrumental in raising awareness of the charity which supported our various campaigns.

Headway Bristol is also extremely grateful for all the donations that have continued throughout 2020 with members of the charity making donations over their annual membership fee to support in what they knew were such difficult times.

The Charity has yet again been amazed that during such difficult times, individuals and groups still took the time to support us.

There were no complaints received in 2020.

The Trustees and organisational director would like to thank everyone that has supported Headway Bristol in 2020 and they look forward to your support as the Charity develops. The Charity’s supporters help to deliver a variety of services that has a huge impact on individuals, families and carers affected by brain injury.

We are incredibly grateful to The Great Western Chapter who have offered to restart their 3-year commitments to working with the charity. They felt that due to the COVID-19 pandemic the charity missed opportunities which they couldn’t fulfil and Headway Bristol are thrilled to be working with them for another three years. At a time of change for the charity it will be hugely beneficial to have such an amazing resource to work alongside us in various projects.

Reserves Policy

Headway Bristol retains sufficient reserves to maintain and develop the core objectives of the charity. The main source of funding into Headway Bristol is from payments made by or on behalf of service users attending centre-based services at the Headway Centre and the one-to-one Outreach services.

Reserves are set by considering (where appropriate) the following:

The Trustees have reviewed the Charity’s need for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and believes that a prudent policy is to maintain reserves between 6-9 months of expenditure to protect the Charity from investment market risk and provide financial resilience in the event of extreme circumstances that may affect the Charity’s ability to operate. The minimum level of free reserves held will be £300,000. The Trustees have also designated

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

£300,000 (2019: £250,000) for future relocation costs on expiration of the current lease at the Headway Centre.

The reserves policy will be reviewed annually by the Trustees.

At the balance sheet date, the Charity had reserves At the balance sheet date, the Charity had reserves summarised as per the table below:

- Other general reserves 104,544 141,160
Restricted Funds: 1,000 21,000
Total Funds 705,544 612,160

Free reserves at the end of the year are £374,189. (2019: £325,904).

The Trustees recognise that this is above the target figure and will look to spend the funds in the current year in line with the objectives of the Charity.

Investment Policy

The Charity holds a proportion of surplus cash as bank deposits but invests any excess funds with Brewin Dolphin as Headway Bristol’s discretionary fund manager. Investments are made by the fund manager on behalf of the Charity across a range of equity investments to ensure there is an appropriate balance of risk and rewards within the portfolio. The Trustees review the investment portfolio and associated risk at regular meetings with Brewin Dolphin throughout the year and seek guidance from its professional adviser on future investment strategies.

Financial Activities

Total Income for 2020 was £532,375 (2019: £569,600), with the Charity generating £113,968 (2019: £90,275) through donations and fundraising activities. Included in the 2020 figures were a realised gain of £2,934 on investments sold in the year and an unrealised gain of £5,624 in respect of investments still held by the Charity at year end. The comparative figures for 2019 were a realised gain of £8,688 and unrealised gain of £50,391. Total Expenditure decreased from £517,895 in 2019 to £447,549 in 2020. Investments held by Brewin Dolphin showed a net book value on 31 December 2020 of £584,450, compared to £514,445 on 31 December 2019.

The disruption to the charity and the ability to deliver services due to the COVID-19 pandemic saw crucial meetings taking place between Headway Bristol and funders. All three local authorities agreed to continue payments of contracted clients which enabled Headway Bristol to deliver their visual services.

100% of private clients made the decision to suspend their services which resulted in a decrease in income. To mitigate against the loss of income, and to ensure the financial stability of the charity, the decision was made to furlough four members of staff.

Risk Management

The Trustees and organisational directors have considered risks and how they are managed.

The Charity introduced a new Risk Register and Risk Policy & Procedure in late 2018, which began being used as a live document on 2019. This has continued to be developed during 2020 and has been updated to reflect best working practise for the charity.

All Risks from all the sub-committees are now visible and reviewed monthly with the operational team and reviewed with the Trustees on a monthly basis.

All Risks were assessed in terms of Likelihood and Severity categorise Low 1-3 (Green), Medium 4-7 (Amber), High 8-10 (Red).

To date Headway Bristol has raised 45 Risks, Closed 33 with 12 currently Open.

Some of the Key Risks raised, managed and mitigated in 2020 were as follows:

Raising of risks and operational/trustee evaluation will be undertaken on a monthly basis in 2021.

With the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the very obvious immediate impact it had on the organisation the Board of Trustees made the decision to increase board meetings to monthly.

This was to enable them to support the charity thorough a period of unknown and where possible support the Director to reduce risk, ensure continuity of services and ensure financial sustainability.
