Headway

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Charity's objects are;

Public benefit

The Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit and considers the charity acts in accordance with the guidance.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The Trustees are satisfied with the results for the year 2024-2025.

During this period, the Charity continued to provide vital services and support to adults with acquired brain injury (ABI), along with their families, carers, and supporters. Between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025, the service received 103 new referrals, of which 59% were male.

Referral analysis indicated that:

69% of all referrals were for residents within the county, with Charnwood being the borough with the highest number.

We enhanced our digital presence through continued updates to our website and increased activity on social media platforms. In January, we welcomed a trainee counsellor from the University of Derby, who now provides support sessions to service users, family members, and Headway staff.

The year marked a positive period of change, with the development of new initiatives and the expansion of existing services. A notable achievement was receiving 'Highly Commended' in the Charity category of the NHS Parliamentary Awards 2024 .

To strengthen our leadership capacity, the Fundraising and Engagement Executive was promoted to Development Manager, supporting the Service Director with day-to-day responsibilities and decision-making.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Fundraising activities

We experienced many successful outcomes from our fundraising campaigns, largely due to improved networking, targeted marketing, and increased community engagement. These efforts have positively influenced donor behaviour and enhanced income generation.

Notable successes include :

We extend our sincere thanks to Affinity Law, K. Feltham, the Solanki family, and those who contributed through the Navratri donation, which raised a further £4,000. Without the generosity of these individuals and organisations, we would be unable to maintain the high standard of services we provide.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The net decrease in resources during the year was £19,667 compared with a net decrease of £4,845 in the previous year. Incoming resources show an increase of £31,925 in comparison with 2023/24, which was mainly due to an increase in expenditure during a period of growth for the charity. Resources expended increased by £46,213.

The main funders during the year were the Social Services Departments of Leicester City and Leicestershire County Councils and Leicester Integrated Care Board. Leicestershire County Council continue to purchase our services through the Community Life Choices Framework agreement whilst Leicester City Council buy support through a similar framework agreement called Community Opportunities.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to some of our other donors who are not mentioned in the Review of Activities but have made either a one-off contribution or who are long standing supporters of Headways' work:

Thank you to all those who have offered their support either financially, with sponsorship or with the gift of time.

Investment policy and objectives

The constitution of the charity authorises it to make and hold investments using general funds not needed for immediate working purposes.

In practice the charity has never had sufficient surplus to invest to provide income for the future and has no plans to do so. The current practice is to deposit surplus funds with UK banks.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The charity's policy on reserves has been designed to protect it from uncertainties in funding from statutory bodies. It aims to ensure that there are sufficient general and designated funds to meet the potential cost of redundancies and the provision of non-statutory funded services for at least six months when combined with the commitment from local government to give a three-month notice period for any funding changes.

The policy continues to provide as far as possible protection from the variation in funding from voluntary bodies arising from the interruption or non replacement of expiring charitable grants.

The Trustees have reviewed the level of reserves required and are satisfied that they are at an appropriate level.They have resolved to work towards maintaining the reserves at a level in line with the charity's policy.

Free reserves, which are unrestricted reserves in excess of designated reserves less the fixed asset element of unrestricted reserves stand at £35,861 as of 31 March 2025 (2024 - £28,600).

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

FUTURE PLANS

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 23rd November 1998 and registered as a charity on 17th February 1999. It began operations on 1st April 1999 when the assets and liabilities of Headway Leicester (charity number 702489) were transferred.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also Trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles they are known as members of the Committee of Management. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the members of the committee are elected to serve for a period of three years, after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

Richard Perrins, James Lewis, Carol Birch and Stephen Nottridge retire by rotation and are eligible to offer themselves for re-election.

The charity actively encourages service users to take an interest and assist in the running of the charity and encourages these stakeholders to apply for Board positions. James Lewis and Simon Gerrard have themselves suffered an acquired brain injury and receive Headway support, they provide extremely valuable input and insight into living with an acquired brain injury. James and Simon act as spokespersons for other Headway users, ensuring their views are represented. Similarly, Stephen Nottridge is a carer of a person with an acquired brain injury and presents the interests of families and carers of those with ABI.

It is normal practice to invite potential trustees to visit the service and have the opportunity to meet some of the team and people who use the services before appointing them. New trustees are given a full briefing pack, including access to all policies and procedures. There have been no new trustee appointments during this reporting period.

The management of Leicestershire Leicester and Rutland Headway is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

Organisational structure and decision making

Leicestershire Leicester and Rutland Headway has a Committee of Management comprising of up to sixteen members who meet quarterly and who are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the committee members come from a variety of professional backgrounds. The board has a skills audit procedure to assist in the recruitment of new Trustees.

The Services Director attends and reports to the meetings of the committee but does not have voting rights.

Day to day responsibility for the provision of services rests with the Services Director.

The Committee of Management is supported by two sub committees each with specific remits including governance, finance and human resources, fundraising, marketing and media.

The charity is an affiliated Group of the national organisation Headway, the brain injury association, which provides advice, formulates national policy, sets standards, and represents the brain injured at a national level. However, the national organisation does not have any direct responsibility for the running of the charity, which rests solely with the Committee of Management.

Headway receives a proportion of its funding through Framework agreements and a discretionary grant from the social services departments of Leicestershire County Council and Leicester City Council and the Independent Care Board in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Leicestershire Leicester And Rutland Headway

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Leicestershire Leicester And Rutland Headway ('the

Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are apportioned between activities based on an estimate of management time spent.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property - 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective rate of interest method, less any impairment.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Going concern

The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
