TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated 11 June 1999. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

The Charity is affiliated to Headway – the brain injury association. The relationship is governed by Rules of Affiliation which have been adopted by the board of trustees.

Appointment of Trustees

As set out in the Articles of Association the number of trustees shall be not less than three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) shall not be subject to any maximum. The board of trustees has the power to appoint additional trustees according to the rules set out in the Articles of Association. The chair of the trustees is nominated by the Board of Trustees.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees undergo an orientation day to brief them on the obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the building plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction day they meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of the role.

Organisation structure

The charity is governed by the board of trustees, which set the overall framework. The trustees and their staff team are then delegated full responsibility for implementation with this framework. The Board of Trustees meets monthly or as required to set the strategic direction of the charity and monitor the budgets.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The principal activity of the charity during the year was providing support and guidance to people who suffered either traumatic brain injury or acquired brain injury. In order to achieve the objectives of support to people who have suffered brain injuries, the charity runs a day centre.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Chairman’s Report 2021

In 2021, the Coronavirus Pandemic did not let up and the Team at Headway East Northants continued to deliver the very best service that they could within the limits dictated by Government, the Local Authority, and good judgement. The Day Service worked up to providing in person attendance opportunities each week to all those clients that wished to do so. In the background, this involved numerous ongoing risk assessments, infection control procedures, and everyone coping with mask

wearing. Trustees and staff worked together to make the best decisions that we could to maintain HEN’s availability to people living with a brain injury in East Northants and their families.

Once again, as in 2020, I felt proud and grateful of the level of services that HEN was able to maintain during these extraordinary times, and of the way a ‘safety net’ was still able to be provided by HEN staff for Community and Day Service clients.

For our fundraisers, it was another hard year as opportunities to raise funds for HEN using any kind of social event were still not available to them. The London Marathon, our biggest fundraising event, continued to be challenged in its ability to take place at all, and our income was again reduced well below what we would have normally expected. Northamptonshire County Council providing full funding for their Day Service clients throughout the period of closure and when we could only offer limited places on reopening, as well as specific Covid Grants that supported our infection control and ‘Covid safe’ running, made a big difference to the eventual impact on our finances. We have had so many individuals and groups that have contributed funds to HEN that I cannot mention them all here, suffice to say that any contribution is a sacrifice made by an individual, family, or business and we are grateful for your kindness.

Our Services Manager, Claire Philips, weathered the ‘storm’ of another remarkably challenging year, and provided sound leadership for HEN and its Staff Team at a time of enormous challenge and uncertainty. Deputy Manager, Jonny Tudor, has continued to build tremendous links with statutory and voluntary services in the community, and used these in his work with clients in need of support and guidance to great effect. Our social media and newsletter publications have never been more important, and the skills of our Administrator, Rebecca (Becky) Lake and her October 2021 successor, Laura Richards, have been an amazing asset. Lynne Dale continues to maintain a clear view of our finances and helped our Treasurer, Barbara Woodbridge, and the Board plot a safe course during another challenging year. Our Activity Facilitators and Community Support Workers provided the new service delivery for the Pandemic and the re-establishment of Day Service attendance that helped our clients and families make it through. Our volunteers have done whatever they can whilst not able to provide their centre-based sessions, and we have been very pleased to welcome them back in 2022.

Our Board of Trustees have been solid throughout 2021 and thank you to them, and indeed everyone mentioned in my Report, and many, many more who have supported HEN and I have to my shame neglected to mention.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT

Headway East Northants provides for the needs people living with the effects of mild to severe brain injury through provision of therapeutic based activity services and support delivered at our Day Service and out in the community. This takes the form of both fee based and non-fee based services. Statistics based on UK hospital admissions during 2016-2017, indicate that 348,453 individuals were hospitalised as a result of an acquired brain injury (ABI). This indicates the prevalence of ABI to be 531 admissions per 100,000 of the population. ABI admissions in the UK have increased by 10% since 2005-6. Men are 1.5 times more likely than women to be admitted for head injury, however, female head injury admissions have risen 23% since 2005-6.

Headway East Northants recognizes the need in the community to provide a supportive service that can help to rebuild community ties for individuals living with brain injury and their families/carers, by providing supportive rehabilitation and encouraging participation in activities, as well as providing information and raising wider awareness of brain injury.

The rehabilitation services provided by Headway East Northants are funded through funded service users’ own funds and from North Northamptonshire Council contracts, negotiated in order to tailor the level of service for the individual. Assessments are conducted by Social Workers using established criteria to define the need for our rehabilitation services. Headway East Northants in turn works with individuals to establish personal goals and objectives to support return to community participation independently of the statutory authorities wherever feasible.

The role of the ‘day centre’ is continually evolving. With this in mind, Headway East Northants must continually change and improve in order to meet the developing needs of service users and the community in which they reside. By evaluating the services we deliver, and the way in which service users and others engage with them, the day and community services can be flexible to changing needs. Headway East Northants can also maintain cultural and ethnic sensitivity through an inclusion program, and the upholding of the rights and responsibilities of service users, staff and volunteers. By doing this, an environment of inclusion is generated and a welcoming community for people new to our services.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity’s principal source of income is from attendance fees received from North Northamptonshire Council. The total incomes for the year were £223,173 (2020 - £203,711) and the total resources expended were £234,628 (2020 - £234,608).

Incomes on unrestricted funds were £219,775 (2020 - £194,918) and resources expended were £231,979 (2020 - £226,075). The net outgoing resources on the general unrestricted funds, which are the operational reserves of the charity, were £12,204 (2020 – £31,157). The total incomes on unrestricted funds increased by 12.8% compared to last year, total resources expended increased by 2.6% and net outgoing resources decreased by 60%.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Income on restricted funds was £3,398 which was for the charity’s Christmas Event, a garden project, new IT and a new Virtual Peer Support Group. The total resources expended were £2,649. There was a balance of £749 to carry forward with regards to the Virtual Peer Support Group.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied the systems are in place to mitigate the exposure of the major risks.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the care and support day centre and to the reserves policy have operated a policy of keeping available funds in interest-bearing deposit accounts and seek to achieve the best interest rate offered by the market.

RESERVES POLICY

The General fund represents the free reserves of the charity arising from past operating results. The free reserves, representing unrestricted funds less the designated funds, stood at £207,399, representing approximately eleven months’ expenditure. The board of trustees have examined the requirements to maintain free reserves and concluded that they are holding an appropriate level of reserves. The charity has consistently managed to maintain a bank balance in excess of this amount, although this can change as future income levels cannot be guaranteed. However, continued fund raising from both new and old sources will enable reserves to be maintained at an adequate level. The Trustees meet regularly to monitor and review the policy.
