REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financlal position
Operational Income
The majority of our Income comes from the daily rate that we charge clients to attend the centre, the
majority of whom are supported by social services. We also recelve an annual grant of £32,200 from
Swindon Borough Council (SBC) towards the infrastructure that is required to support all Swindon
residents.
Due to a sllght decrease In client numbers during the year, our operational Income decreased sllghtly to
£260, 828 vs £263,807 In 2022.
Fundraising
Grant income decreased from £65,006 to £9,661. This difference was largely accounted for by the fact
that we had a received a £40,000 grant the previous year
Our income from donations and fundralsing events reduced slightly from £17,299 to £14,193. Both
Grants and Fundralsing have been Impacted by a reallocation of job roles and a prlorltlsation of service
delivery.
As always, the Trustees are very grateful to those who support Headway Swindon & Dlstrict in work that
Is widely acknowledged to be necessary. Donations make all the dlfference to our clients.
Operational costs
Expenditure decreased from £389,497 to £359,955. Our largest expense is staffing costs which
decreased from £272,223 to £234,955 as a result of the aforementioned restructure
The rent will be subject to a 5-year rent review, next due In October 2025, in line wlth local market
rates. The expected cost for building dilapldatlons are being written off over 10 years.
Performance review
The financia5 outcome for the year was a deficlt of £ £26,468. Thls was due to a reductlon in the number
of people using the service, both as a result of our success In helping people move on to Independence
and also due to a lower number of referrals from health and social care professionals.
Reserves pollcy
Reserves are reviewed periodically to ensure that, as far as posslble, they are maintained at a level that
wlll enable the servlce to contlnue for a perlod of approximately elght months following a ces5atlon or
diminution of current Income. The reserves policy also considers the financial commitment arlslng from
the terms of the lease that Pleadway Swindon and District has entered into in respect of Its premlses.
Reserves also need to be built so that if we cannot stay and refurbish our current prem15es at lease end
In 2030 the charity wlll have sufficient reserves to fund another move and refurblshment project.
£80,000 has been set aside 50 far towards refurblshment, repalrs andlor dllapldatlons Costs. Reserves In
2023 meet the reserves policy of 8 months operational cost.
