Headway Somerset
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).
Vision and objectives
The vision of the charity is to improve the quality of life for everyone in the Somerset area with an acquired brain injury together with their families and carers. This is achieved by providing a flexible, expert service offering information, rehabilitation and support. The vision and objectives of the charity were reviewed in 2022. The work of Headway Somerset covers the following core areas:
-
Hospital liaison: an early intervention programme for acquired brain injury (ABI) patients, families and supporters guiding them to specialist areas of support in the post hospital rehabilitation phase of recovery;
-
Rehabilitation programmes: centre based activities throughout Somerset which run in five locations at different times throughout the week. This work is supported by outreach in the community where necessary and appropriate;
-
Volunteer support and buddying: training volunteers to support the aims of the charity working alongside people living with acquired brain injury in the community to provide a range of social and support opportunities; and
-
Partnership development: raising awareness and understanding of acquired brain injury with a wide range of other Somerset based organisations and developing positive collaborations.
Benefits delivered to users of our services in 2022
Our staff worked positively and flexibly throughout 2022 not only maintaining existing services but also developing new partnerships and piloting new ways of supporting people living with acquired brain injury and their families.
The hospital liaison team engaged with acquired brain injury patients, families and supporters through the Yeovil District Hospital, Musgrove Park Hospital, the specialist Somerset Neuro Rehab Centre based at Dene Barton, Taunton as well as other community hospitals. Ongoing Covid issues at the beginning of 2022 made this a challenge but staff continued to build good relationships with NHS colleagues. Services provided ranged from a simple reassuring chat through to the provision of detailed guidance on routes to full ongoing support. One of the lessons learnt from the pandemic was the significant gap in support needs for families. Consequently staff ran two Understanding Brain Injury zoom series as well as several evening zoom support sessions. These were very well received.
Rehabilitation services were provided in person throughout the year in Bridgwater, Taunton, Yeovil, West Camel and Henton. This core service fundamentally impacts the lives of people living with the most complex consequences of an acquired brain injury by providing active support through outcomes focused rehabilitation, hope and life enrichment. Individual outreach rehabilitation has also been provided to people throughout the county where the requirement and resources made this possible. Two areas of focus in 2022 have been increasing opportunities for physical activity as well as the development of resources and learning opportunities for rehabilitation clients about managing finances and scams awareness.

Headway Somerset
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2022
The ‘Making Headway’ buddying project continued to develop through 2022. A core group of volunteers have received training and they work closely either as a one to one buddy, supporting individuals at centres or in the new Talking Cafes initiative in Bridgwater and Shepton Mallet. Other volunteers are being trained to take on shifts with the Talking Headway information and support line. All these Making Headway initiatives are designed to extend the reach of Headway Somerset to more people living with acquired brain injury and make it easier for them to link with us. Talking Headway started in 2021 and runs three afternoons a week. In 2022 we had contact by phone or email with 142 new people with information or support needs around ABI.
Other ways Headway Somerset has expanded its work for people living with acquired brain injury in 2022 include:
-
Our research into awareness of the link between domestic abuse and acquired brain injury;
-
A major collaboration with We Hear You Counselling to provide virtual or in person counselling to people living with ABI or family members as referred by Headway Somerset staff;
-
A series of virtual training workshops for external organisations including voluntary sector, adult social care and NHS teams; and
-
Drafting of our first publication – ‘Family & Supporters Guide to ABI – Somerset’ which will be available in early 2023 in hardcopy and to download from our website.
At the end of 2022 we are able to report that 563 people have received a direct service from Headway Somerset and a further 697 have received an indirect service including the delivery of awareness workshops, support for friends, colleagues, employers, education providers and professionals.
Headway Somerset strives to be informed by the people who use our services and in 2022 this has included feedback from a series of group sessions facilitated by one of our trustees. We use our partnership with Plymouth University Department of Psychology as a regular opportunity to review services and obtain independent feedback about them. Our intention is to provide services which are accessible to all who need them and to listen carefully to feedback. During the year we welcomed visits and placements from a range of organisations including Taunton Academy work experience students in July, an Occupational Therapy student from Yeovil District Hospital during December, our Plymouth University Third Year Psychology students throughout the year and various nursing students on their Elective Days.
Making a real difference to people living with ABI and raising awareness about the condition is most important to us. These are a few examples of the feedback we have received in the last year:
‘Thanks for all your incredible support.’
‘Thank you for the information and for being a kind, listening ear earlier this week.’
‘I don’t know what I would have done without Headway’s support since this happened to my husband.’
‘I just wanted to thank you for arranging the Friday evening supporters group – it was just what I needed.’
‘I cannot thank you enough for everything you are doing to help me. I took the information you gave me to my appointment and it was invaluable as I had total brain block.’
‘Thank you both for coming to do the talk to staff. It was so useful, I am thinking of booking you again to come and chat to my team in our in-service training, so they fully understand brain injury too.’

Headway Somerset
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2022
Public benefit
In planning and setting objectives the trustees have complied with the duty to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. In particular, the trustees ensure that all of Headway Somerset’s activities are aimed at improving the lives of the people who use its services and other people with acquired brain injury in Somerset. Headway Somerset does not undertake any trading activities.
Financial review
Total incoming resources were £310,948 (2021: £271,477). In the light of the challenging fundraising environment costs were kept tight with resources expended being £315,993 (2021: £301,979).
Total funds at the 31 December 2022 stand at £227,328 (2021: £232,373) of which £32,682 (2021: £11,230) are restricted and £35,000 have been designated towards projects over the next 12 months. The trustees of Headway Somerset review the reserves policy each year. Unrestricted general reserves are needed to provide funding to enable the charity to operate in a flexible manner as well as to invest in the infrastructure and core administration of the organisation. The trustees consider it prudent to hold unrestricted general reserves of a minimum of 6 months operating costs. At the year end general funds stood at £159,646, which is slightly above this target. The level of unrestricted reserves is monitored at the five trustee meetings held through the year.
Throughout another very challenging year very close control was kept on the finances. Headway Somerset are extremely grateful for the continued support of our commissioners, Somerset County Council and Somerset Integrated Care System (formerly Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group), as well as funders Garfield Weston and the National Lottery Community Fund. The charity also welcomes the continued valued support of our corporate sponsors, Enable Law and Clarke Willmott.
Headway Somerset made successful applications to the Somerset Community Partnership and Wessex Water during 2022.
We remain very grateful for the extraordinary fundraising efforts of many individuals as well as the generosity of several community groups which added to our fundraising totals.
After making the required enquiries, the trustees of Headway Somerset have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources available to it 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 to the financial statements.
Structure, governance and management
Headway Somerset is an independent registered charity, registered number 1097407, and also a company limited by guarantee, registered number 4699611 (England and Wales).

The trustees of Headway Somerset are empowered to appoint new trustees from time to time as required.

Trustees are formally appointed at meetings. A trustee pack and induction is available to all new trustees. Training on all aspects of acquired brain injury is provided.

Headway Somerset has seven trustees and the board meets five times a year. Additional meetings may be held as required.

Headway Somerset has a Staff Pay Policy and staff remuneration is reviewed by the Finance Sub-Committee in December each year.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which Headway Somerset is exposed and this is recorded in a Risk Register. The Risk Register is updated and is presented three times a year at trustee meetings.
Headway Somerset is registered with the Fundraising Regulator thus demonstrating its good fundraising practice and commitment to following the Code of Fundraising Practice. Headway Somerset employs paid professional staff to organise fundraising and to coordinate the activities of our supporters across Somerset. The Fundraising Sub-Committee sets the Fundraising Strategy for three years at a time. The Fundraising Sub-Committee is made up of trustees, staff and volunteers. The Fundraising and Communications Manager attends each trustee meeting to provide a report. Headway Somerset does not use external paid fundraising personnel or organisations. All personal information collected by Headway Somerset during fundraising activity is confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party. No one employed by Headway Somerset or volunteering on behalf of Headway Somerset will accept commission or bonuses for fundraising activities on behalf of the organisation.
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Headway Somerset
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2022
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
▪ observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Independent examiners
Godfrey Wilson Limited were re-appointed as independent examiners to the charitable company during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

Independent examiner's report
To the trustees of
Headway Somerset
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Headway Somerset (the charitable company) for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are set out on pages 8 to 22.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 the charitable company'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 the charitable company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable 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.

Headway Somerset
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Headway Somerset 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 note.
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves and confirmed future funding. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
d) Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
e) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Headway Somerset
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
f) Funds accounting
- Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of staff costs:
| 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Raising funds | 10.1% | 10.2% |
| Charitable activities | 89.9% | 89.8% |
i) Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
| Computer equipment | 33% straight line |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | 33% straight line |
| Fixtures & fittings | 15% reducing balance |
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.
j) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
k) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
l) Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Headway Somerset
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2022
1. Accounting policies (continued)
m) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
n) Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.
o) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key source of estimation uncertainty that has a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is depreciation, as detailed in note 1(i).
