**DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The Directors of the company (who are trustees for the purposes of charity law) present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors' report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, and 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). 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The company was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 8 July 2002 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The company gained charitable status on 14 April 2004 and took over the activities and assets of the unincorporated association operating as Headway East Kent (charity number 1013309) on 1 August 2004. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. On 10 April 2021 the company's name changed from Headway East Kent to Headway Kent Ltd, and then on 22 July 2022, the name was changed to Headway Kent. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustee/directors** 

The Directors of the Company are also Charity Trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the Company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. The Trustees of the Charity are listed on the Legal and Administrative page of these accounts. Prospective trustees are identified via a search of local organisations, contacts, supporters and beneficiaries and via local publicity. Trustees receive an induction into the charity and can access local training for Trustees if required. 

Helen Blackwood resigned as a Trustee on 5 July 2021 and Nick Hunt resigned on 16 December 2021. We wish to thank them for their hard work and unwavering support. 

The Trustees still continue to seek new trustees to join the Management Committee and we have actively advertised the positions available. 

## **Organisational structure** 

Jennifer Walsh took over as CEO on 1 January 2021 with the remit to prepare the organisation for the services being retendered in 2022. 

Staffing levels are constantly being reviewed in line with the reduction in client numbers following Covid and we lost some long-term members of staff this year. Our best wishes go to these individuals and Headway views this as an opportunity for us to attract new and talented individuals. 

Jennifer Walsh was joined by a new Finance Manger on a 1-year temporary contract to assist with professionalising the accounts in line with the overarching plan to computerise all back-office functions. A new Area Manager was not appointed at this time in order to reduce costs.  The day-to-day management of the charity has been delegated by the trustees to the Chief Executive Officer who is supported by a Business Administrator, an Admin Assistant and the Finance Team and Assessment Manger, who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The trustees also receive representation from Clients Carers and Volunteer representatives. This ensures that services are developed in accordance with the needs of our service users. All Community Hub staff are assisted by our fantastic, dedicated volunteers. Carole Southern moved across from being a Community Hub Facilitator to our dedicated counsellor, to utilise the skills and qualifications Carole holds. As at 31 December 2021 the Charity employed 14 people.

## **Risk management** 

The Management Committee meets quarterly and reviews the major risks the charity is exposed to. As a result of our Business Plan, our KPI’s, finance meetings, and client meetings shows at a glance the progress of the charity and identifies any area of concern or risk. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of policies and procedures for all aspects of our charity. Health and safety compliance is exercised throughout the charity. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Aims and objectives** 

The main aims and objectives of the charity are as follows : 

To promote wider understanding of all aspects of head injuries and provide information, support and services to people with a brain injury, their families and carers. 

We achieve this by : 

Increase awareness and understanding of head injury. 

Participate in activities that will reduce the incidence of head injury. 

Provide information and support for people with head injury and their relatives. 

Promote and co-ordinate multi-disciplinary approaches to head injury, screening, acute care, assessment, rehabilitation and community re-entry with clear accountability. 

Assist people with head injury to return to community living, encourage social outlets and productive activity. 

## **Activities and Public Benefit** 

The Directors have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit and believe all of the Charity’s activities benefit the public. 

Our Community Hubs continue to raise the profile of acquired brain injuries and its effects by offering a unique low-cost professional service to brain injured adults and support to their families and carers. Our clients undertake a person-centred outcome focused programme of activities within the Hubs. In addition, we provide support to the family and carers of people with an acquired brain injury to readjust to life after brain injury. Our Counsellor provides specialist Brain Injury counselling to people who are living with a brain injury and the Link Worker signposts people to other specialist organisations for additional help as required. Headway Kent is committed to raising awareness of acquired brain injuries and the effects to professionals and the general public which we do in numerous ways, i.e. using local volunteers, participating in local events, using local media, working with local businesses, schools, colleges and universities. We continue to work with local health professionals to reduce the burden placed on the NHS. All these activities help to ensure that brain injured people do not face discrimination and are able to live a full life in the community living. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The end of 2021 saw Covid – 19 starting to retreat and then the rise of the Omicron variant. It still left an indelible mark on the organisation this year as well as in 2020, with everyone trying hard to accept the ‘new normal’.  The pandemic impacted on supply chains, with a cost of fuel crisis, and for a short while, even the inability to obtain fuel. The worldwide socio- economic impact of the ‘mass resignation’ that followed, and the lack of a mobile workforce due to Brexit, became a workplace recruitment reality when KCC reported that there were approximately 30% of posts left unfilled by organisations providing their Health and Social Care contracts.  Headways across the UK, and other Day Care organisations, began to report that client numbers had significantly reduced following Covid -19, and this was an event experienced by Headway Kent. This coupled with KCC announcing a multimillion-pound shortfall in their budget meant we needed to examine every aspect of our delivery model for the future to ensure the continuation of Headway Kent.

**DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Achievements and performance - cont'd** 

We took the local and global outlook as an opportunity to focus now on what we could do now to make us future proof. The lock downs in the early part of the year provided the time we needed to move premises in Folkestone/Hythe and Ashford, to buildings that were better suited to our core services, as well as allowing greater business support. Back-office functions became computerised, with every member of staff receiving a laptop so we would have an agile responsive work force, ready to work anywhere.  We invested in a new IT company to ensure we were GDPR compliant, and that clients’ details would never be at risk. We successfully received funding from the Fidelity Fund for a computer data base to allow clients records to be linked with their aims and ambitions for better outcomes. Covid – 19 had impacted on our community fundraising ability and so we refocused some time on bid writing, successfully receiving funds from KCC for a Digital Inclusion project, The Phillips Foundation, and Infection Control Funds. 

Adult social care funding has been under extreme pressure for several years and was identified as the top long-term pressure for councils in a 2020 Local Government Finance Survey. Little impact has been felt for organisations on the front line and the contract rates available for providers still fall far short of what is needed to meet the full costs of support. In fact, overall spending on care by local authorities is down by 5% since 2009/10, despite growth in demand over same period (Institute of Fiscal Studies). Adults of a working age who require social care account for half of all local authority expenditure (despite representing only one third of the total caseload). As such, the area was a key target for planned savings of £700m across all local authority adult social care budgets in 2019/20. To help manage demand and control costs, local authority funders are increasingly looking to employ an ‘asset-based commissioning’ model. This approach places far greater emphasis on encouraging independence and reducing the need for long-term support. Care packages are built around individuals, using assets that already exist in the community. We knew that 2022 would see our Contract with KCC being retendered and our key priority was to be in the best possible position to successfully be re-awarded funding for our Community Hubs with consideration to the fall in budgets and the new commissioning cost saving trends. We began working towards the tender by moving away from the traditional Day Centre Model and introducing Community Hubs with person centred activitybased sessions which focused on personal and social outcomes. We looked for the correct outcome measurement tool to map our progress and to provide the much-needed evidence to our funders. Our clients are key to the shift in our delivery models and thus co-produced the sessions they would like. Our Link worker and Counsellor allowed people to receive bespoke support instead of just taking a one size fits all approach. We wanted to commit to development across the County and so our name changed to Headway Kent so we could be more inclusive to the all the communities we serve. 

As always, we would like to highlight how everything depends on our staff and volunteers, their commitment, their respect for our clients and unfaltering willingness to go above and beyond when necessary. We ended the year with staff who had embraced new ideas, understood the Theory of Change, and undertook all he additional training. We had staff who had not taken all their annual leave just to ensure the continuation of the service and to ensure the safety of our clients. They responded when others had let them down. 

Although we faced many challenges, we end the year with renewed commitment and enthusiasm, knowing that we are one step closer to being a successful contender when our services are re tendered and recognising our many achievements in the face of such adversity. 

Thank you to all our clients, carers, grant funders, Trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters of Headway Kent, we could not provide these services without you.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Income, expenditure and bank balances are constantly reviewed and the charity’s progress is measured by means of a Comparison Chart which is discussed and reviewed at the quarterly Trustee’s Meeting. 

The charity incurred a deficit during the year of £39,941 which reduces our total funds to £301,812. This deficit is an increase on the previous year's deficit of £3,864, due mainly to increased costs of the new premises and associated maintenance. Due to Day Centre being closed for part of the year, Client contributions are down further from 2020. We have however received KCC grants of £26,561 which helped towards our increased costs caused by the Pandemic. 

## **RESERVES POLICY AND GOING CONCERN** 

We aim to hold in our contingency reserve an amount to that of three to six months running costs. The directors may change this policy depending upon the needs of the charity. 

It is widely recognised that fundraising becomes more and more difficult due to the financial climate. New ideas and events prove difficult when competing with other well known charities. 

At the time of producing this report we are aware that Headway Kent has successfully been re-awarded 4 years funding for our Community Hubs (with a potential extension of a further 2 years) as well as successfully bidding for two further Lots for Everyday Activities in the Community and Skills Training and Volunteering Opportunities. However, all Lots awarded are paid in a spot purchase contract, which means we are paid per person and per attendance, and in arrears. Therefore, due to the dependency on client numbers the charity will still continue to be a going concern. 

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

Our name change (made on 19 April 2021 from Headway East Kent) reflects our intention to reach more people with acquired brain injury across the county. We plan to bid for contracts across a larger geographical area and for more areas support. Our work force will become more agile with ability to move across the county providing support in existing infrastructure, thus reducing the cost and liability of multiple rents and utilities. 

Client numbers will dictate staff levels in Community Hubs and the numbers have declined; however, we want to compliment the work in the Hubs with bespoke 1-2-1 support in the community, brain injury facilitated support groups, and helping with training and employment opportunities. The Link worker will continue support people who need guidance, advice and will work with other organisations as required and carers will continue to be supported. 

We plan to work with other Headway organisations who have implemented change and learn from their experience and take relevant models to enhance our own service. We need to look across the skills of the organisation and recruit new talent to enhance our plans of professionalising all our services in line with current KCC requirements. 

A new Business plan will be produced along with a fund-raising strategy which will outline our commitment to growing Headway Kent, diversifying Income Streams and thus ensure the longevity of the Charity.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the 2006 Act other than any requirements that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 the 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 Kent 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. 

The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows: 

- a) **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The charity had a contract with Kent County Council Social Services for day care services for the period up until 31 March 2021 which due to Covid was extended until 30 September 2022. The charity was successful in retendering for a new 4 year contract which runs until 30 September 2026 and therefore the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## b) **Income** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and its receipt is probable. 

The following specific policies are adopted and applied to particular categories of income : 

Client's fees are accounted for on a receivable basis calculated on days attended at a relevant centre. 

Voluntary income by way of grants and donations is included in the statement of financial activities when receivable. 

Income from charitable trading is accounted for when earned. 

## c) **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes VAT where applicable. Where such costs relate to more than one functional cost category they have been split on an estimate of time spent. Resources expended are shown as : 

Charitable expenditure  - comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for beneficiaries. It includes both those costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them, including governance costs (costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and includes the Independent Examiners fee). 

## d) **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £250 are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows : 

Leasehold improvements amortised over the period of the lease Computers & office equipment 3 / 4 years straight line Minibus 4 years straight line

## f) **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for a particular purpose. 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criteria is charged to the fund. 

## g) **Pensions** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable are charged as an expenses in the statement of financial activities. 

## h) **Operating leases**

## _**RESTRICTED FUNDS**_ 

## **Wheelchairs** 

The wheelchair fund relates to a donation received from Pfizer in a previous year to fund wheelchairs for the charity. 

## **Folkestone property** 

Donations received in a previous year from the Freemasons and a client's parent towards the costs of fixtures and fittings at the property at Folkestone. As these funds have not been fully used for the Folkestone property, the charity is to ask the funder if they can be used for the Hythe property. 

## **Evac Chair training** 

A donation received from the Rotary Club in a previous year towards the training costs associated with the Evac Chair. Although the training has taken place the funds have not been fully utilised and the charity is to ask the funder if the funds can be used for other staff training instead. 

## **Ramsgate Garden** 

The balance of funding received last year to improve the garden (hanging baskets, planters etc) and Minibus Stand at the Ramsgate property.  Due to Covid, these funds have still not been spent and therefore the charity is to ask the funder if the balance of this fund can be used for another purpose.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Link worker** 

The Reaching Communities funding from the National Lottery has allowed us to employ a member of staff for 3 years to assist people with acquired brain injuries who wish to seek alternative support other than the traditional Day Centre that we have previously offered. As Acquired Brain Injuries are so varied this role identifies person centred aims and ambitions of people who may wish support seeking volunteering, training or employment opportunities, support accessing community events and support to find the best local service for financial and housing issues.  The role looks to reduce social isolation and loneliness and provide that essential link between a person and their social and economic needs. 

## **Community Link worker** 

Due to the success of our Link Worker role, we successfully applied for funding from The Philip and Connie Phillips Foundation. This funding would allow the addition of one day a week to our Community Link Worker role. This role is not statutory funded and is something that we always need to fundraise for. The role currently has been so successful that we had a waiting list of over 40 people. The Community Link Worker supports individuals at any stage of their ABI and regardless of their income levels. The role is not based on a traditional Day Centre model and instead provides 'in the home' or community personcentred problem-solving support for anyone with an ABI regardless of their issues. The range of activities includes, assisting with the KCC financial assessment, claiming benefits, sign posting and advice, obtaining a disabled badge, how to read a bus timetable and catch a bus (for memory issues), how to access community and mental health support, relearning how to read so individuals can perform the most basic of tasks such as food shopping, and reducing social isolation and loneliness. Some of these services do exist elsewhere, however, there is no other organisation that has the ability to assist people with complex ABI'S that impair speech, cause memory loss or retention, issues with anger and anxiety, a diverse range of disabilities and includes some individuals who cannot speak or move. The transfer to general funds represents the agreed contribution to the charity's overheads. 

## **Photography** 

The KCC funded Digital Inclusion Photography project aimed at increasing confidence with people with acquired brain injuries and other members of the local community following Covid. The project encouraged people to safely mix, within the Covid Safety measures, to take photos of what covid had meant to them and their community. What now looked different and what was the new normal. As well as this creative expression and confidence building it also allowed for a new skill and friendships to be acquired. The transfer to general funds is in respect of cameras and laptops which have been treated as fixed assets and are shown on the balance sheet. 

## **CRM** 

Funding received from The Fidelity Fund via the Kent Community Foundation for a CRM. A CRM is a Customer Relationship Management data base system. The Olm Eclipse CRM system has been developed by Headway Oxfordshire and it’s currently in use by Headway Oxfordshire and Essex so we are aware that this system works and it makes sense to use a system that already has a track record within the Headway network. The system is bespoke to the unique way Headway works with individual clients following ABI’s. The system allows for individuals Care Plan’s (created by Social Services) and the Wellbeing Outcome Star (a social outcome measurement tool that we utilise with individuals) to track the individuals recovery journey. The system measures achievements and goals in a person centred way and allows for the creation of bespoke plans in a community setting, within counselling and within our Community Hubs. The data can then be used to assist clients with a visual representation of their journey as well as creating credible evidence to pursue further funding. The CRM system will provide clear evidence and outcomes to demonstrate just how important our work is to our existing funders and crucially when we apply for new funding streams. 

## _**DESIGNATED FUNDS**_ 

## **Contingency fund** 

The contingency fund has been created (by way of transfers from the general fund) to cover emergencies or problems with funding and should enable the charity to operate for a period of approximately six months whilst alternative funding is sought. £50,000 has been transferred to general funds to cover the deficit incurred during the year.
