Tendring Specialist Stroke Services Company No. 03167424 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

In setting out its aims and objectives the trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Comission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the organisation conforms with these requirements.

The Charity provides specialist stroke services to meet the needs of stroke survivors, families and carers across Tendring, regardless of age, gender, race, nationality, marital status, sexual orientation, political and religious belief etc.

The Charity aims to:

1) Offer support, guidance and help to stroke survivors, their families and professionals involved in their care.

2) Strive for improvements in services for those who have suffered a stroke.

3) Increase public awareness of stroke and its impact on family, social and working life.

4) Promote the message of a healthy lifestyle for stroke prevention.

5) Provide social and other purposeful activities.
6) Develop new skills and confidence.
7) Meet and share experiences to promote personal adjustment.
8) Encourage family and community support.
9) Inform through education and training.

10) Network with other agencies.

During the year, the Charity operated/continued:

1) Group therapy and activity sessions Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

2) To work closely with the medical health professionals (doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists etc.), statutory bodies and other local and regional organisations.

3) To work in compliance with the government's identification of long-term chronic conditions and long-term ongoing rehabilitation.

4) Service transformation has taken place. The service is supported by a specialist Rehab Stroke Nurse, specialist neurophysiotherapy and a focus on holistic wellbeing.

As part of its work and links with the medical profession, the Charity is still currently involved with:

1) The Early Supported Discharge service, where some people who are discharged early are rehabilitated at home rather than in hospital to achieve better results. Also provided, 6 months after a stroke, is a visit to assess status and identify any problems or issues (a post stroke visiting service). During the COVID pandemic these visits have been telephone calls.

2) ESNEFT have reviewed the core contract. Contracts were applied for by TSSS The Stroke Charity, which started in April 2023.

Specific activities:

Group Activities

Holistic wellbeing and therapy are the focus at TSSS to improve the lives of stroke survivors and their families on the road to acceptance and independence.

The sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are focused on therapies to improve the life chances for stroke survivors. The charity also held neurological gym sessions in Colchester until May 24.

Ongoing counselling support is available to stroke survivors and their families.

The property is available to other charitable groups for hire.

Tendring Specialist Stroke Services Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

Aims and Objectives - continued

Monday - we feature art and painting. This encourages fine motor skills, hand eye co-ordination and general artistic therapy which provides mental stimulation, encourages members to use latent skills to showcase their skills and to develop new skills. Amongst a wide and varied range of activities, the Charity co-ordinates activities of an artistic nature i.e. painting in oils and watercolours. This day promotes feelings of self-worth, self-confidence, initiative, re-motivation, stimulation and a reduction in social isolation. Social integration and communication skills are also enhanced.

The sessions also include direct support from the Stroke Rehab Nurse and the Specialist Neuro-Physio. There is a group exercise session, OT, speech and language therapy support is given to improve the lives of stroke survivors.

Tuesday/Wednesday - The sessions include a variety of therapies, cognitive work, neuro-physio sessions, group exercise, group competitive games: bowling etc craft, woodworking and many other activities.

Tuesday services include evening yoga sessions.

Wednesday services include morning yoga sessions and friendship lunch.

During all sessions, speech and language is worked on as stroke often has an impact on speech and cognition. Individuals have 1:1 session to improve and support their confidence and often to allow them to vocalise their concerns, embarrassment, fears and issues. Stroke survivors are supported to face their challenges and to learn new ways of communication and to develop their vocal and cognition skills.

The group engages in various activities to support their thinking skills followed by chair exercise session. For those with ongoing physical rehabilitation needs, assessment by our neuro-physiotherapist is carried out. This allows the stroke survivor to understand their condition, their limitations and what exercises would benefit them. The exercise sessions can be arranged and a plan developed for the TSSS team to continue, for example sit to stand exercises, using the Oswestry Frame and walking practice. All exercises are risk assessed and conducted by a trained neuro-physiotherapist. The group also provides a supportive environment in which the stroke survivors encourage and support one another when they reach their goals. As well as the impact on people physically and in the way they think, stroke can also impact on how they feel about themselves and their engagement in things they previously found enjoyable. Social interaction is as important in stroke recovery as traditional forms of rehabilitation.

Emotional Counselling Support

The emotional counselling service is open to Carers and families, providing emotional counselling to stroke survivors, carers and families affected by stroke. We provide a variety of therapies to individuals as well as information, support and advice responding to individual needs. Both the stroke survivors, carers and referrals come from self-referrals, the general public, Colchester and Clacton hospitals. The ESD team with other health professionals refers to us on a regular basis, we support people who self-refer. This not only improves and enhances the daily life of the stroke survivor but supports people to cope with the psychological impact of stroke. We offer ongoing emotional counselling support which empowers people to develop self-help, much needed respite to the carer and reduces isolation for both. Promoting self-sufficiency and independence is also an important part of the Charity's work. We provide Tendring Stroke Units and ESD team with information packs containing details of our services, stroke information, carer's guide and information relevant to the immediate situation.

Carers' Group and Support Group Meeting

The carer' group continues to be a very successful way of providing carers with a much needed confidential and supportive space. It also addresses the ongoing and detrimental problem of isolation and loneliness which impacts on all aspects of their health. All carers on the Carers' Group list receive a monthly Carers' Newsletter and some carers use the phone link or email to keep in touch. Stroke and brain injury have an ongoing impact on carers' lives, the continuing support offered by both groups is of the upmost importance to those affected by stroke or brain injury. Also, to directly address the issue of social isolation and loneliness.

Primary and Secondary Stroke Prevention

One area of great concern for stroke survivors and carers is that of a secondary stroke prevention. Time is spent advising and providing information of various kinds about secondary stroke prevention. Particular attention is paid to diet and blood pressure control, cholesterol levels, diabetes and smoking cessation. Exercise is also discussed as some stroke survivors are able to exercise in various ways. Primary stroke prevention materials are also offered to other family members and friends as well as the wider community. Links with other health professionals have again been very important with regards to this aspect of our work. Members of the public can call in at our centre for stroke prevention information, leaflets or have them posted on request. Outside information boards are also regularly updated with stroke prevention and health information. GP and dentist surgeries are sent updated posters and information.

Achievements and Performance

Page 3

Tendring Specialist Stroke Services Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

Main Achievements

Charitable activities

During the year there was a total of 221 attendees of activity sessions who were supported 2743 times (2024-2025). We continue to work to redesign our services to encourage younger stroke survivors and a wider range of people with various needs to attend for specific stroke rehabilitation. TSSS also provides counselling sessions to meet the immediate needs of stroke survivors and their families. The charity received 265 referrals in for further support – 219 of these were for counselling, 83%.

In conjunction with other medical practitioners and local authorities, the Charity is continuing to facilitate post stroke exercise and neuro-physio sessions. We have obtained the professional services of a neuro-physiotherapist and a stroke nurse. Our sessions are therapy led sessions.

Awareness sessions have been incorporated into our fundraising events, to promote the work of the charity.

Financial Review

Financial Position

During this year core funding has been from the ESNEFT contract, grants, fundraising. Whilst the contract for Life After Stroke was being reviewed, funding continued to support service delivery via TSSS.

Reserves Policy

The Charity holds reserves in line with the Charity Commissioners Guidelines to safeguard against:

1) unanticipated fluctuations in expenditure, donations and legacies
2) to cover periods of payment arrears from current funders

3) to have at least 9-12 months running costs on hand to pay staff and creditors

4) to fulfil existing obligations should funding cease

A part of the Charity's reserves, some £98,848 of £340,928 relates to funds expended on the purchase and improvements relating to the Charity's freehold property, 85 Frinton Road, Holland on Sea, Clacton. As the fund cannot be applied to make payments or grants to others the Trustees believe these funds are fairly reallocated to an endowment fund. Although the Charity has sufficient reserves to continue for the foreseeable future, the Charity remains partially funded. The balance of the funds of £241,399 represents those available to the Charity for specific projects and day to day running.

Plans for future periods

The organisation will continue:

1) To work closely with clinical services to improve the stroke pathway for stroke survivors and their families

2) To implement a suite of relevant rehabilitation activities, physio and support for stroke survivors and their families

3) To continue active involvement with the Early Supported Discharge service. To increase referrals from Colchester Hospital post stroke discharge teams.

4) TSSS to run relevant physio and exercise classes for stroke survivors. The organisation will continue to advocate, support and empower Tendring stroke survivors, carers and families. We will continue to promote the needs to stroke survivors within the community.

There are still gaps in the service provided once acute care has finished. Stroke affects the entire family circle. TSSS have a vital future role to play here.

We shall continue to advocate for this group so that there can be "LIFE AFTER STROKE". The Charity benefits greatly from the commitment of its staff and volunteers. We should like to record our thanks to them all.

Tendring Specialist Stroke Services Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

1. General Information

Tendring Specialist Stroke Services is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 03167424 and registered charity number 1054049. The registered office is 85 Frinton Road, Holland-on-Sea, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, CO15 5UH.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements 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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, (modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value). The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

2.2. Going Concern Disclosure

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2.3. Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

2.4. Incoming Resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known and receipt is expected. If the amount if not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

2.5. Resources Expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity, The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

Page 10

Tendring Specialist Stroke Services Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025

2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairement losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold 0% Plant & Machinery 20% reducing balance Fixtures & Fittings 15% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets which include debtors 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities including creditors and bank loans are inititally recognised at transaction price unless the arrangment constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts 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 creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2.8. Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

2.9. Employee Benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
