The description under the headings"Aehievemenls and performance" and"Financial review. meet the company law requirements for the trustees to prèsent a strategic report. Achievements and performance a. Maln achlevements of the Company Central Service$ As wlh many organisations, 2020 has been a year dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic struck in March 2020 we closed our office and introduced a home working system, updated our budget for the year and developed an emergency business plan. This plan had two main elements lo it- for the organisation lo be able lo support people al their lime of most need, and to source new funding Streams lo ensure that we did not have a largo deficf( on the year. In lemis of the core services that we have traditionalty operated, our online support group continued, and we provided infomialion packs by post on request. We updated our phone system so that messages could be taken and automatically fowarded to staff working from home, who were then able lo return calls. Unfortunately our network of local support groups had to slop meeting, but instead wg inlroduceij a number of new online activities lo provide remote support 10 Stroke survivors. These included.. Daily online exercise sessions {Monday-Fridayl. delivered by qualrfied instructors, and tailored at different levels of intensity throughout the week so that all stroke survivors could find a Session that w&5 appropriate for their needs Weekly online tai chi sessions Stroke survivor in lockdown, Mdeo ea115, wtth a stroke SLtNivor tslking with a staff MeMr about their experiences Guest speaker videos A number of groups undertaking regulaf video calls with their members as a way of them keeping in touch with each other Online nefvrkIng sessions - a chance for stroke suNivors to get together and wiihoul any fomial agenda tslk about the issues of most importance to them Page 3

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Achievements and performance (continued)
We also held a virtual conference, and over the course of a week in September held 10 online sessions for stroke survivors, healthcare professionals and other supporters. Sessions included a talk from a stroke survivor, a session on fatigue, legal matters, and a panel of experts discussing how stroke survivors could move forward after a stroke.
In addition, in the early part of 2020 our teen and young adult befriending service went live. This involves young stroke survivors, aged 21-35, providing 1:1 telephone peer support to other young survivors aged 16-25. Five volunteer befrienders delivered this service to eight survivors that needed support. External supervision is in place for the project, and a recent evaluation has shown how much benefit this has brought to these individuals. Funds are in place to continue this into 2022, and already in 2021 we have seen many more young survivors take up the service.
We have continued to support large numbers of people, growing our online support group by 11% to approximately 5,800 people. We supported 382 stroke survivors by phone, 724 by email and sent out 143 information packs. Our followers on social media increased by 16% to 20,000.
The pandemic significantly affected our ability to raise funds, most notably through the cancellation of largescale fundraising events, which we have traditionally relied upon as one of our main sources of income. We also saw a reduction in corporate support and sponsored activity. Nevertheless, we managed to entirely mitigate this shortfall in income through the use of the government furlough scheme and small business grant scheme, by making savings in support costs, by holding some online fundraising events such as the ‘2.6 challenge’ and monthly quiz nights, by attracting grants for the new online services which we had introduced, and by some very generous one-off donations that we received from supporters of ours. Particular mention here must go to Percy’s Pals for providing us with a very significant donation.
From an HR perspective we have retained the same staff that we began the year with, although a number of people have been wholly or partly furloughed during the course of the year. At the beginning of the pandemic we furloughed 5 of our 9 staff, reducing our FTE staff from 4.9 FTE to 2.2 FTE. Over the course of the year we gradually increased our staff resource, ending the year with 3.6 FTE. Some staff remain furloughed in 2021, but we will be bringing back all staff on their original hours at the appropriate time.
It has been an extremely challenging year, and introducing a number of new online activities with a much reduced staff team has taken a huge amount of effort, but nevertheless, we are proud of what we have managed to achieve for stroke survivors while delivering a strong financial performance. We are reporting a surplus of £70,550 for the year, although this is largely d own to an increase in restricted funds and designated group funds (see section below). This compares to a surplus of £10,980 for 2019.
Different Strokes is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and works in a way that is compliant with the Code of Fundraising Practice.
Regional Groups
The groups ended the period with an operating surplus of £927 compared to a surplus of £22,017 in 2019. While the Different Strokes exercise groups are technically branches of Different Strokes, they enjoy considerable autonomy over the operation of their affairs. Hence while in theory their funds technically form part of Different Strokes reserves it would be inappropriate to see them as freely available for the use of the charity, generally. For this reason, we regard this portion of the reserves as "designated" - retained by the Groups for use to develop services locally & not considered to be available to finance Central Services.

Financial review
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
a. 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.
b. Reserves policy
The Trustees have agreed that it is their intention that the charity should maintain a level of free reserves (unrestricted funds not committed or invested in Fixed Assets) to enable the charity to cover its central running costs for not less than six months. Such costs amounted to £221,323 for 12 months in 2020, or £110,662 for six months, although it should be noted that income and expenditure was significantly lower than would usually be the case, due to the pandemic. Free reserves totalled £147,794 as of 31st December 2020. Reserves held by the group totalled £113,982, all of which is represented by cash. The average balance is around £3,200 per group and because of the fragmented nature of these holdings they are not regarded as being available for central purposes. See note 17 for a detailed breakdown.
c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
Risk Management The Trustees have a Risk Management Strategy which comprises of:
-
The setting of a reserves policy
-
Monthly monitoring of income, expenditure and cash against an annual budget
-
A risk register which identifies the likelihood, impact and management of risks, and which is updated twice a year
