HEADWAY PORTSMOUTH & SOUTH-EAST HAMPSHIRE
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
Purposes and Aims
The main objectives of the charity are:-
-
To provide information and support for people with brain injuries, their families and carers;
-
To assist people with brain injuries to return to community living;
-
To increase public awareness and understanding of brain injury;
-
To participate in activities that will reduce the incidence of brain injury;
-
To promote co-ordinated multi-disciplinary approaches to brain injury screening, acute care, assessment, rehabilitation and community re-entry, with clear accountability at all stages.
In furtherance of these objectives, during the financial year 2024/25 Headway continued to offer support through sessions provided at the Mountbatten Centre and in the community. Outreach services, family members' meetings and structured activities were offered. All figures below are for service users from all geographic areas covered by Headway Portsmouth and South East Hampshire.
Public benefit
How our activities deliver public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and activities and in planning future activities.
All of our charitable activities deliver public benefit because they are focused upon supporting those who have suffered brain injury, their families and carers, increasing public awareness of brain injury, improving treatment and rehabilitation / re enablement of those who have suffered brain injury and providing information to the public to promote the steps which can be taken to reduce or eliminate the prospects of others sustaining brain injury.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Session support
We currently have 130 Service Users (SU) attending one or more of our outreach sessions in either Portsmouth, Gosport, or Petersfield, with an average of 19 carers attending one of the weekly sessions. By March 2025 our monthly throughput was 467 service users attending our sessions throughout the month, which was up the same as last year. New service users continued to be invited along to join the sessions and the average service user monthly attendance for Headway Portsmouth and South East Hampshire's Social Inclusion Community Outreach programmes was up by 4 from last year to 130.
Service User Feedback
It has never been easy for me to open up about the depression and anxiety, how the pain effects those and my day to day life and how this all effects those around me, but I am getting better at it and have a better understanding of it, thanks to you, Headway I wanted you to know that I really appreciate all the help, support and advice you have given me and how much our catch-ups mean to me and how much they have helped.
It cannot be easy to adjust the assistance that you provide to every person or family that comes your way and I felt that you had exactly the right approach.
It's all down to you recognising my desperation (by emailing on Xmas Day) and knowing what questions to ask of who!
Awards
Headway Portsmouth and South East Hampshire had the privilege of being nominated to receive a Civic Award, which is a local honour to recognise outstanding service or achievement and were invited to attend the Annual Mayor Making event at the Guildhall to receive the award.
The following citation was read out at the event:
"In recognition of the vital support given to the people of Portsmouth suffering brain injury, the dedication and tireless work of a small team helping people through participation and engagement to improve their quality of life, wellbeing, outcomes and have a positive impact on people's lives."
1 to 1 Support
Headway provides 1 to 1 support for many different needs during the year: -
-
Dropping into the office or contacting by other means, where people want to know if we can help them.
-
- Carers with new service users.
-
Assessment of service users - both initial and review assessments with all service users.
-
Crisis 1 to 1s around the issues of relationships, benefits, housing, conflict and finance which can result in a referral to another agency. We are also seeing big increases in numbers of tribunals and appeals supported.
Hospital project
Despite the hospital remaining under immense pressure the Senior Support Worker managed to continue to maintain the link between the hospital workers and patients, which has led to a continued stream of referrals. We are part way through the 3 years of National Lottery funding that was awarded in June 2023 for a part-time employee to oversee the Outreach Programme. There were 228 referrals from the hospital and other health professionals during this period, a 37% increase from last year, which demonstrates the need for the second staff member to help in this area along with 60 enquiries/advice. We are currently still supporting 92 of them until they are ready to join one of our outreach sessions or do not require any further support from Headway.
Part of the service we provide is offering advice and information for people who have sustained a brain injury and assist in the following areas:
-
Benefits - PIP, Attendance Allowance, Universal Credit, Employment Support Allowance
-
Travel - blue badge parking permits, bus passes, travel schemes
-
Cards - Brain injury card
-
Information - Headway UK, advice leaflets, support & information
-
Brain Injury Courses - Brain injury Awareness, Confidence Building, Communication & Behavioural

- A listening ear and coffee
Over the year we supported a monthly average of 12 individuals affected by brain injury whilst as an inpatient at the QA Hospital and then on discharge we continued their journey until they were ready to move into the community and attend one of our outreach sessions.
We provided an initial meet and greet service to 87 individuals, assisted 131 people with their benefits such as PIP, AA, UC and ESA and supported another 23 with their Blue Badge, Brain Injury Card, Bus Pass etc.
Training Courses
We continue to offer training and the Cognitive Reablement Programme included practical support sessions and activities that support personal safety, improved communication, improved behavioural and relationship skills and improved executive function, skills that have been lost because of brain injury. With this programme we were able to provide much needed support by assisting new Service Users in improving their skills, health, and wellbeing, building confidence and self-esteem, in a relaxed, supported, and safe secure, online format, hosted and facilitated by a skilled tutor with extensive knowledge of brain injury.
Brain Injury Awareness - 4 Brain Injury Awareness (BIA) courses for service users' families, friends and carers were run, one in April with 11 attendees, one in June with 10 attendees, one in October with 9 attendees, and one in January 2025 with 12 attendees. We continue to offer free places on this course to QA Hospital staff and ove r this period 17 staff members from the QA Hospital attended one of these courses.
Cognitive Reablement course - We ran one course with 6 attendees.
Feedback on Training Courses
Very interesting interactive - trainer very knowledgeable Very nice training helpful and loads of knowledge for those of us who work in hospital More information about location otherwise everything fantastic
Excellent training the activities were good and helped to explain things
The Family members / Carers Support Programme
Family members appreciate having the opportunity to talk with others who have been through similar traumatic experiences. To share stories and discuss the challenges of caring for someone is of immense value. There is a range of experience within the group who can help with new contacts and are available to meet on an individual basis either by phone or 1-2-1 for a coffee and chat, with an invitation to join the groups if and when ready.
Volunteer Support
Volunteers returned to sessions during the year to provide invaluable support and links continue with Portsmouth University to encourage students to volunteer with the Charity
Charity Shops
The shops once again contributed extremely well to income.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funding
The results for this year show a surplus of £3,556 (2024: £16,819).
The on-going expenses mean that there are no funds available for long term investment and in the current financial climate the trustees do not consider that investment in funds other than those which are completely secure can be justified. Consequently, the funds available remain within the charity's bank accounts.
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure. Budgeted expenditure for the charity for 2025/26 is £206,000 excluding shop expenditure.
The target reserves are therefore at least £51,500 in general funds with an upper target of £103,000. The reserves are needed to meet the ongoing cost of running the charity, including the shops. The present level of free reserves is £90,023, and therefore there are sufficient funds to meet the reserves policy.
Budget projections have been prepared for the forthcoming year, which demonstrate that the free reserves position of the charity should not deteriorate significantly in the coming year. As long as the income targets are met and expenditure is rigorously controlled then the cash and reserves position should continue to improve.
The strategy is to continue to build income through fundraising activity, statutory funding and grant funding, whilst controlling expenditure.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The charity plans to continue activities in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. In addition, working in partnership with other organisations is a key aspect of our work.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity was incorporated under the Companies Act 1985 on 21 March 2001, as a company limited by guarantee (company number 4184335) and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the directors are elected to serve for an indefinite period and at each annual general meeting one third of the trustees are subject to retirement by rotation or, if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, the number nearest to one third shall retire from office. Trustees retiring from office by rotation are eligible for re-election. New trustees are recommended by the trustees for appointment at the annual general meeting or nominated by a member. However, the charity may by ordinary resolution appoint a person willing to act to be a trustee either to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee. The trustee appointed will hold office until the following annual general meeting and then they will be formally appointed.
All directors give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Whilst directors are entitled to claim expenses from the charity none have elected to claim any such expenses. There is a broad mix of skills amongst the directors which serves the charity well.
Organisational structure
The trustees, numbering 4 at the end of the financial year 2024/25, meet monthly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The CEO also attends each meeting. The operational day to day running, administration and organisation is undertaken by the CEO who is overseen by the trustees. The CEO also has responsibility for individual supervision of the staff team within the centre and shops and also ensuring that the team continues to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.
The trustees supervise the CEO.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Induction and training of new trustees
Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity due to their background in brain injury. New trustees are invited to attend the centre to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates.
Related parties
Insofar as it is complementary to the charity's objectives, the charity is guided by both local and national policy. At a national level Headway UK sets out service standards which all local branches are expected to adhere to. In addition, Headway UK provides guidance and information. We have received Headway UK accreditation where our governance was described as 'exemplary'.
Risk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks in relation to funding have led to the development of the business plan and the strategic plan for fundraising. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, service users and visitors to the centre and outreach drop-in sessions. All staff, volunteers and trustees undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEADWAY PORTSMOUTH & SOUTH-EAST HAMPSHIRE
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Headway Portsmouth & South-East Hampshire ('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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.
