CHAIR'S STATEMENT
Noneiheless the underlying financial structure of the
charity remains under constant review.
Despite the 5UPPOrt received. as part of that financial
review, this year a150 saw a major restructure.
intendet1 to both place the organisation on a better
long term financial footing. whilst streamlining
services. We said good bye to some long serving
stalwarts of Hèadway Devon. who have helped create
and develop the organisation over a number of years.
to whom we are very gratefuL Ai the same time we
havè been able to weltome some nèw iecruits, with
new ideas, new perspectives and boundle55
enthusiasm to move Headway Devon forward in new
ways.
Perhaps most encouragingly, a welcome bi-product of
the pandemic appears to be a renewed focus on social
care, li'5 Worth. it's funding and it's structure.
Headway Devon is a charity: however, a portion of oui
funding comes from thè local authority. This focus on
social care, we hope, present5 an opponunity for
Headway Devon, with gceater recognition of the need
for and Value of the services we provide. ably
represented by our CEO Ruth Wells at the highest
levels of the debate on the subject within our region
and beyond.
We face the coming year determined to maintain the
Èssential service we provtde to the ABI community in
Oevon and on behalf of the Boafd of Trustees I would
like to record our heartfelt thanks to our management
team, our staff. our volunteers And oyr funders who
make it possible to do so.
Lockdown came into effeci as ouf year started and
the managemeni team and staff worked swiftly
and tirelessly to adapt to the changes. Centres
weie obLiget1 to cLose, visits were curtaiLed. Each
and every step taken involved ensuring adherence
to resirictions whilst seeking io prioritise the best
interests of the clients and yet safe9uard thè staff,
without whom there would be no service at all.
Online and virtual support grew exponentially.
where appropriate for the client. as the team
batiled to find new ways to meet clieni need5.
It 15 a testament to the managemenL the staff and
the volunteers that services wefe rnaintained.
aLbeit often in a different format than had
previously been ihe case, that clienis coniinued to
receive support and Headway Devon managed to
meet it-s Pufposes and objÈtlivès.
The challenges were, however, not limited to the
practicalitie5 of maintaining service provision.
Charitie5 were not exempt from the catastrophic
financial impact of the pandemic. It is in this
regard we have to aiknowledge and thank ih05e
organisations which either maintained our ftsnding
streams. provided grants to meet shortfalts. or in
the case of Oevon County CounciL did both. for
which we are extremely grateful and without
which the organisation may well not have
survived.

Headway Devon
Headway Devon work5 wrth adults across Devon who have an acquired brain injury. supporting them and their
farnilies. In the UK someone 15 admitted to a hospital with an acquired brain injury every 90 seconds. At the
Royal Oevon and Exeter Hospital alone over we estimate that 2,70082 adults are admiited with a brain injury
eacha year.
The people we work with are from all walks of life. But they all have one thiry in common,. they- and their families-
are living with the life-changing impart of brain injury. This can have been caused by a (ar accident, strokes. bfain
tumour or a disease such as meningltis.
Although a brain Injury affects people in very dlfferent ways, it typically leads io a complex mlx of physlcal
disabiliries. These include epilepsy. paraly3i& or sensory Impairmeni learning problems le_g. memory loss, poor
concentration. information processing problems) and emotional disabilities (ir￿lUdIng depression and anxiety.

When ABI strikes. lives are changed forever. Unemploymenl relationship breakdown. social isolation znd depression
are cornrnon. Frequenily people find rhemselves alorE. Facing financial hardship and having to reevaluare their whole
li¥e5, at a time when their ability to do 50 is drasticaLly altered. Headway Devon exists to support people to corne to
terms with this and to go on to get the most out of their new Ilves.
Objects

A Year Like No Other
Change and uncertainty were all around us. To start with, our focus was simply on survivaL We worked
tirelessly to adapt to the new noimal. transforming okjr day sèrvice provision into a di9ltal sèrvice, providing
food and rnedicine5 to Ilinicaiiy vulnerable family members and adapting to new way5 of working.
Staff focused on safety when safety and independence clashed. For example, staff avoided having clients travel
in their cars.
We embraced the opportunity to see change as a result of the pandemic. We wocked with Devon Couniy
Council. the Tavistock Institute and the National Lottery to reflect on the Lessons of the pandemic. We worked
with our community to use the pandemic as a catalyst for changè_ Our focus was on Èmergency grant funding.
We changed ovr services and our staffing struiture5 where we needed lo. We embiaced a culture of continuous

We embraced ihe uncerLiinty. As Ihe pandemii hit nobody could have predicted how the 9overnment would
respond. Fuflough, the relaxation of sociaL care legislation, the extra funding for the local atsthoriiy were all
unforeseen. Office based staff focused on communication with the team at the coal face and the staff at the
co3L face focused on the needs of the clients and carers. Wè respondèd to the needs of our clients and carers
and worried less about whether this was legitimately funded activity. Our responses were in the best Interests

Support for Families
As the pandemic hit we realised ihe lafge percentage of families who care for our client5 who were ideniified
as clinically extremely vulnerable. 14any of them are older and many have health conditions. Support workers
asked family members if they were ok. as they attended visits and as unpaid carèrs answered the phone. The

the norrnal contractual rules for the elerneni of our work tttJt 15 funded by the local authority. This meant we
wefe paid in full for contraaed work without concerns about sessions being cut short by nervous households
and that we were able to provide group social care online.
At the end of the first lockdown Devon Cotsnty Council made the decision to use the catalyst of the pandemic
as a force for good. They discovered that the suspension of rules had Led on thè whole to better outcomes and
greater flexibility in servile5. The national clap for carer5 had focused minds on the plight of the poorly paid
support workers. The iniiiativeintiaiive LOVE CARE began. The CEO ha5 worked with the local authority to
better unde￿and the role ol the charitable sector and unregulated secwr in the provision of social care. She

£93,tyJOk in order from fundraising activities to cover ihe 1055 of income from closing down in person centres
and not being able to visit all of our community clien15. We raised £100.465.20 in ihe year. Given that this was
achieved through just one dedicated fundraisef. and given the financial contexL this was a great achievemenL
Much of this came from grant-making foundations. We received grants from Neighbourly, Exeter Community

Fundraising Standards and Practice
Our Fundraiser resigned during thi5 year. after 13 years of service. Instead of reappointing,
our Trustees took the decision to employ a fundraising consuLtancy to review our
fundraising attivity, help us develop a fundraising strategy and work with us to focus our
fundraising activities around those areas that will generate the greatest returns. Whitst it
will take a little while to start seeing the returns from this. we are excited about the
prospett of increasing our income from regular giving. grant-makers, gifts in wills and
philanthropists. The additional income we raise will enable us to develop new services.

changed forever by a brain injury.
We received no complaints related to fundraising during the year.
Although we do very little public fundraising. we are registered with the Fundraising
Regulator, adhere to GDPR legislation and uphold the Chartered Institute of Fundraising's
Code5 of Fundraising practice. Our fundraising activity is reviewed by the board quarterly.
Volunteers
We would like to pay tribute to the wonderful volunteers who help us reach out to people
living with a brain injury. The Day Centre5 normalLy enjoy the 5UPPOrt of many regular
volunteers. We would like to thank them as without them we would not be able to deliver
such a wealth of work. The pandemic ha5 of course curbed some of our frontline delivery
work and some of our volunteer activity ha5 had to be cut back during this period.This
reporting year the need to work in a covid secure way. online meant that we scaled back the
volunteers we work with.
Two extraordinary volunteers SUPPOrted our online work online. In the current year, the
Local community has responded to our reopening of in person group sUPPOrt through re-

workers and volunteer5 live. Whilst the local authority does fund a portion of our work, it does noi cover the
quite considerabLe cosi of iraveL What we provide on behalf of the local authority IS termed as unreguLaied
supporL None of the governmènt funding during the pandemic was to supwjrt the unregulated sector.
In 2014 we purchased our building. the X Centre. which has been a major asseL We completed the purchase in
2015 wilh the help of a mortgage for £150,￿ to enable us to re￿in 5ufficieni money in re5erve5 for running
costs and to meet the covenants of the loan.
To meet these covenants. we need to ensure a minimum of £50,000 in our bank account and have 1.5 times
the loan repayment surplus over expenditure.
Therefore. the policy 15 that Headway Devon will strive to maintain a minimum cash reserve of £IOO.000. This
shoulij continue to be monitored regularly and if ihe cash reserves fall below this sum then the board will be
informed at their next meeting. If they fall below £50,000 then a special meeting will be called to discuss
actions. Unrestricied cash balances at the year end totalled £190,440 in the Gold account and £54.906 in the
Caf Cash account. The remaining cash is made up of cestricted funds and pelly cash held at the centres.
The total (Ash balance as at 31 March 2021 was £300.Q45, of which £45.462 rÈtated to restricted reserves and
£254.583 related to unrestricted reserve5. The charity airns to hold unre5trirted free reserve5 of 3 fflonths
running costs, which equates to approximately £169.000 based on current year expenditure. At the end of thi5
financial period the total funds the charity holds are £628.416 which includes restricted reserves of £45,462.
tangible fixed assets of £428.762 and long term creditor secured against the property of £152,055. Therefore.
the charity s free reserves equal £286,227. which is £117.227 in excess of the reseryes policy. The Board of
Trustees implemented an organisational restructuring strategic pLan in the attempt to align the opecational
and cost base of thè Charity with the projected futurÈ income generation and plan to use some of the excess of
reserves dkjring the implementation process. Thè operation31 Ènvironment of the Charity continues to be
challengirhg both in respect to the precaution5 now required to operate and create a Covid safe and secure
environmeni for our clients, along wilh the financial sirains resulting from a reduction in income and
increasing costs directly linked to the delivery of the charitable objectives.

**HEADWAY DEVON** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, and 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 2015)’. In preparing the financial statements the provisions of Section 1A “Small Entities” of Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006 have been applied. 

The Trustees consider there to be sufficient reserves and access to funding to support the charity for the foreseeable future, therefore as there are no material uncertainties, they consider the charity to be a going concern. 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **Fund accounting policy** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. 

Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 21. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Donations are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

Donated goods have been included at the lower of their value to the charity and their estimated open market value. 

Income derived from events is recognised as earned (that is, as the related goods or services are provided). 

Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis. 

Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract. 

## **Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.  All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Costs of generating funds are the costs of trading for fundraising purposes. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.  It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

**HEADWAY DEVON** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICES CONTINUED** 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Freehold property 2% straight line basis Plant and machinery 5% straight line basis Furniture and equipment 20% straight line basis Computer equipment 33% straight line basis 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising 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 are recognised at their settlement amount. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and 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. 

## **Operating leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
