Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024, in compliance with s414C of the Companies Act 2006.

Chair’s Report

It is with pleasure that I provide my first report as Chair of Headway Cardiff and South East Wales.

It is an honour to have been appointed as Chair and my thanks go to our former Chair, Andrew Harding, who has fulfilled the role with commitment and passion since 1995. During that time, Andrew has overseen the organisation’s growth and development, and smooth passage through COVID and our move. Thank you, Andrew, for your leadership and also your support during the transition as I took over the helm.

During the last year, we have settled into our delightful new base at University Hospital Llandough and we enjoyed celebrating our one-year anniversary with friends and supporters in October.

Each year our aim is to effectively support as many people affected by acquired brain injury as possible. This year that number totals 571.

We offered a varied and engaging programme at our Independence and Wellbeing Centre through external gentle exercise, drama, music therapy, Tai Chi sessions, and visits from Roaming Reptiles, as well as imaginative and creative sessions designed by our in-house team. We ventured beyond the centre with trips including visits to St Fagans National Museum of Wales and on the Willow Trust canal boat. 107 people have been supported through the centre.

We recognize the impact of Brain Injury on family and were delighted that Welsh Government Amser Funding from the Carers Trust and C3SC enabled us to offer: wellbeing boxes; treatment, dining in and cinema vouchers; meals and evenings out; trips to Barry Island, the National Botanical Gardens; and shows at the Principality Stadium. 142 carers benefited.

Demand for our one-to-one support services has not slackened. 26 people accessed counselling sessions, and 450 people were provided with our Information and Outreach Service, including help with welfare benefits.

We try to ensure our services are accessible to people wherever they live with walking/wheeling groups at four different parks in South Wales, which 170 people have taken part in, and through our Independence and Wellbeing centre in Trehafod, Rhondda Cynon Taf. We plan to expand this by developing a session in High Cross, Newport.

We rely on our fundraisers and supporters to provide this much needed support and are grateful to our fundraising committee, the Headway Select XV, our corporate supporters, and everyone who took on challenges, ran events or donated. With help from our supporters, we relaunched our fundraising ball in June 2024 with considerable success.

We are fortunate that our Trustee, staff and volunteer team combine the expertise and professionalism of experience alongside the energy and enthusiasm of those just starting out their careers. With this sure foundation, we look forward to continuing to expand and develop to meet the future needs of our service users.

Principal activities of the charity

Information and Outreach Service

Our 1.8 Information & Outreach Officers liaise with professionals, acting as our referral point, providing the following one-to-one support to around 450 people with brain injuries and their families a year:

Counselling Service

Our trained and registered volunteer and freelance counsellors provide weekly sessions to individuals and their families to help them to come to terms with, and cope with, some of the difficulties they are having because of acquired brain injury.

Social and Activity Groups

Our staff, supported by placement students and volunteers, run 4 weekly community walking/wheeling groups, and a monthly family and carers support group, providing peer-to-peer support to enable people to develop their networks and avoid isolation.

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales

Trustees’ Report

Independence and Wellbeing Centre

Our 3.3 Independence & Wellbeing staff team, and volunteers and placement Psychology students, co-ordinate a 5 day-a-week Independence and Wellbeing Centre, aiming to meet people with ABI’s social and emotional needs. The sessions offer a programme of activity, and a safe and supportive environment, in which people requiring more intensive, structured support can practice, maintain, and develop their skills and independence while benefiting from peer-to-peer support. There is a charge for this service, often subsidised by Social and Health Services.

Information and Training Services

Information and training on acquired brain injury can be provided for paid and unpaid carers, social workers and professionals working with people with ABI.

We also give talks to community organisations to raise awareness of the issues surrounding ABI and the work of our charity (e.g., Rotary Clubs, Church groups and schools).

Volunteering

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales relies on volunteers and placement Psychology students to enhance its Independence and Wellbeing Centre and community Groups. They provide one-to-one time with service users as well as planning and facilitating group activities such as discussions, quizzes, and games. They provide practical support with preparing refreshments and setting up and clearing away after sessions. Volunteers also assist with fundraising and with the management of our organisation through our Board of Trustees.

Our volunteers are made up of loyal, long serving volunteers as well as students and young people wishing to contribute to the organisation, whilst developing their experience and skills. Often, they move on to occupations in health or social care, bringing with them the understanding of acquired brain injury and Headway Cardiff and South East Wales gained.

All volunteers go through a selection, induction, and training process, and are disclosure barring and reference checked.

41 individuals volunteered for the charity, including 15 Psychology Placement Students, in total contributing 6,045 hours to the charity.

Public benefit

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the objectives they have set.

Achievements and performance

Independence and Wellbeing Centre

We have run 4 sessions a week from our centre in University Hospital Llandough and 1 from Trehafod Community Centre. Each session has targeted different needs and includding those:

¢ with mixed needs who benefit from some structured activities;

¢ with communication issues who require a slower paced, quieter session to participate, ¢ who like to be self-determining and enjoy socializing with others.

107 people have participated in this service.

Community Groups

We have run 4 weekly Community Walking/Wheeling groups from: Pontcanna Fields, Cardiff; Barry Sidings, Rhondda Cynon Taff; Tredegar Park, Newport; and Pontypool Park, Torfaen and a monthly family and carers group. 122 people with brain injuries, and 68 carers, have participated in these.

Counselling Service

26 individuals benefitted from our Counselling Service, delivered by fully qualified counsellors, with specialist experience in Brain Injury, representing over a 13% increase on last year. Funding from the Jenour Foundation enabled us to deliver this service.

Information and Outreach

Our Information and Outreach Service supported 406 individuals with Brain Injury, and 44 family members, a rise of 7% on 2022/2023. Of these, 175 were new to the service. 55 people have been supported with PIP Benefit applications and 10 with ESA/UC applications.

Music Therapy

Through our partnership with Nordorff Robbins, we have offered singing sessions and one-to-one Music Therapy sessions. 41 individuals participated in 1:1 sessions, and 15 in weekly Zoom group sessions.

Fundraising and Communications

All internal fundraising activities are coordinated by our CEO, assisted by our Senior Administrator (Fundraising). We are fortunate that we have numerous supporters who undertake fundraising activities in aid of our charity. We make use of online giving platforms, but do not use external professional funders to fundraise on our behalf.

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adhere to their standards. We have not received any complaints about our fundraising activities this year. We have Privacy, Safeguarding, Gift and Money Management Policies and Procedures to ensure vulnerable people and other members of the public are protected from unreasonably intrusive or persistent behaviour or are unduly pressured to give money or other property.

We are enormously grateful to those who have supported us through grants, fundraising and giving, in particular: Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for providing us with accommodation and utilities; Hugh James for their substantial sponsorship towards both our Information and Outreach Officer; and Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for funding towards our Gwent Information and Outreach Officer post.

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales

Trustees' Report

Principalfunding sources

The main sources of funding for the charity are currently by way of contracts from Social Services departments and Health Boards across South East Wales — 42% and donations, gifts and legacies — 43%. Other sources include corporate sponsorship — 5.5%, grants — 4%, charitable fundraising (fundraising events, sales, and box collections) — 4%, investments — 0.5%.

Investment policy

The Board takes a cautious approach to investment. Currently reserves are invested in savings accounts. The best rates of interest were sought when selecting these accounts. The organisation strives to protect these reserves by distributing them over several institutions and maintain balances below the Financial Services Compensation Scheme deposit protection limit of £85,000.

|

Reserves policy

In usual circumstances, the trustees consider that, on 31 March each year, the free cash reserves (unrestricted funds less designated funds and tangible fixed assets) held by the charity should broadly represent between 9 - 12 months of the ordinary ongoing expenditure. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding or a change in circumstances. A legacy of £200,000, the most generous in the charity’s history, received late in the year has resulted in reserves far exceeding these levels. The Trustees intend to consider carefully how to invest this to deliver the greatest ongoing impact for people affected by acquired brain injury living within the area.

The Trustees have allocated £34,663 of our reserves to a designated fund to cover current redundancy liabilities.

Future Plans

Our focus for 2024/2025 will be to:

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 12 March 1997 and registered as a charity on 5 July 1997. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales is affiliated to Headway, the brain injury association.

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales

Trustees' Report

Recruitment and appointment oftrustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. Recruitment of new trustees is the responsibility of the existing trustees and can be through personal networks or advertising more widely. The trustees are also responsible for the election of the Charity’s Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer.

Under the requirements of the Articles of Association, one third of the trustees must retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting (AGM) and, if they are still eligible, may offer themselves for re-election at the same meeting. Andrew Harding, Joanne Pickford, Alison Culverwell and Peter Mayle retire by rotation at the next AGM and, being eligible, may offer themselves for re-election. The charity’s role is to provide services for brain-injured people and consequently the trustees feel it is important to have at least one person who has suffered a brain injury on the board of trustees. There are currently two brain injury survivors on the board.

Two of our trustees also volunteer within our services and consequently have firsthand experience of them.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees are provided with: a copy of the Charity Commission’s publication “The Essential. Trustee: What you need to know”; the Trustee Code of Conduct, which they are asked to sign; and attend an induction meeting which covers:

the obligations of trustees;

the main documents which set out the operational framework of the charity, including the

Memorandum and Articles;

future plans and objectives, including the Business Plan.

Organisational Structure

A board of at least four trustees meets monthly to administer the Charity. During the year ended 31 March 2024, the trustees were those listed on page 15. No trustee has any beneficial interest in the company. All trustees give their time freely and no trustee received remuneration in the year for undertaking the role.

The trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. Details of key management personnel benefits and any related party transactions are disclosed in notes 11 and 20 of the accounts.

At 31 March 2024 the charity employed 11 staff, details of whom are as follows:

1 x Independence and Wellbeing Manager (1 post)

2.4 x Independence and Wellbeing Officer (3 posts)

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Two Central Square Central Square Cardiff CF10 1FS

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 16 September 2024.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Page 16

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Income and endowments

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.

Donations and legacies

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 is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Deferred income

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:

Donated services andfacilities

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

This is based on a valuation in June 2016 by a qualified professional valuer.

Page 18

Headway Cardiff and South East Wales

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

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).

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an . unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
