TRUSTEE'S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORTI FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH202A 2020 was an unprecedented year for the world and our charlty was no different. From the end of March 2020, the charity was in lockdown and all support W3s diverted to 3 remote and virtual service. The d)arity adapted swiftly to ensure our beneficiaries remained in cont3Ct with us. All hospital, school and home visits stopped as we were under instruction to withdraw from 8115ettings. To ensure communication was not adversely affected, the charity ensured all IT systems were functioning and that we were able to provide communication through Zoom, Teams and through any device. As in-person fundraislng ceased the charity had to make difficult decisions about the safety of the tearn and how we could protect the finances of the charity. The charity immedi3tely furloughed 50% of the team, froze all recruitment and restructured the leadership team to ensure oversight was in place at all crltlcal levels. The income forecast was downgraded considerably. and the charity prioritised vlrtuèl communication plans to ensure Supporters and funders were informed about our plan on an ongoing basis.

Child Brain Injury Trust 'hope ffop lomorrow. tothv. Board and finance meetings were held weekly. Trustee5 required the charity to locus on protecting the team, the familles we support and the finances of the charity. As well as furloughing staff we also made 3 members of the team redundant as the work103d decreased as the ongoing situation continued. Although it was an extremely ch311enging year. the charity pushed forward with focus but took time to reflect on how we would approach work both throughout the pandemic and into the future. A new strategy was agreed and implemented in January 2021 with a locus on Access and Impact. We secured two COVID emergency grants from the natlonal lottery and BBC Children in Need. These fund5 helped us develop a new virtual Support mobile app ICBIT in Handl and helped us role out 3 new family counsellin8 service which w35 identified through an emergency survey as a need for families. We diverted funds previously allocated for family social events and provided ernergency grants for f3milies who were in financial hardship. We restructured the charity to ensure our resources were appropriate for the current and emerging situ3tion. This ultimately meant downsiiing our Marketing and fundraising team and then merging them. We embedded our Information and Learning resour￿ into the Brain Injury Tearn to ensure consistency and alignrnent and we downsized our administration, finance, arsd support team to reflect the activity acr05S the charitv. Our main sources of income c3me from Trusts, Foundations, our legal Support Service, who remained loy81 and supportive. our jo1nt venture with Bush & Co and from online fundraising events. These measures kept our charity solvent and able to navi@ate through an unprecedented year, whilst maint3ininE our integrity and values.

ReseNes Pollcv The reserves policy of the Trustees continues to aim at a situation where the Child Br8in Injury Trust hès reserves that will allow it to meet its core costs for six months. The impact of the 20121 results on the balance sheet is to increase reserves frorn £237,204 on the 19120 balance sheet to £845,731. The Trustee5 and Management are con5ClOUS that this may create a misleadin8 impression that the charity has excessive funds at its disposal as at the end of the financial year. A detailed analysis of our reserves shows the following.. £151,559117.90% of reserve lundsl is held as restricted funds and therefore cannot be used for purposes other than those for which the funds were donated. A further £135,000 of reserve5115.96% of reserve funds) 15 held in designated funds 3nd has been specifically ring-fenced for the development of virtual services as Outlined in the charity's strategic plan. The b313nce, as unrestricted funds totalling £559,172166.11% of reserve funds) can be used for general charltable purposes. This is the equ1valent to 6.8 months of costs based on our reduced 20121 expenditure and Is In Ilne with our stated objectives. other factors that have to be taken into consider8tion include the cyclical nature of 'cash Ilo placing higher demands on reserves durinE the first half of the year. the impact of the Covid-19 pandemie on regular income streams and the scaled return of our charitable service to full capacitv. Taking into account all requirements for holding and designating funds, the amount of unrestritted reserves Is considered to be both reasonable and prudent by the Trustees.

An example of this is the development ol'C81T in Hand, which will be self-funding from either specific grants or income generated by the app. With 3 continuing challenging environment in term5 01 fund-raising and seNice delivery, allied to a shift In strategic direction for the Charity, the Finance sub-committee of Trustee5 will closely monitor budget plans and expenditure throughout 2021122 with a full half-year budget review in November 2021. 2021122 will continue to provide major challenges in terms of service delivery, operating practlce, fund-raising, and trading opportunities. Whilst there was no face-to-face lund-r8ising activity in 20121, when it is again an opportunity, competition for engagement and share of funds will be strong. The team recognises this 2nd has clear plans with skilled and professional resour￿5 to meet these challenges within a new strategic direction.
