## **Structure, governance and management** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Organisational Structure and Decision Making** 

UKABIF is an independent registered charity with a Board of Trustees responsible for major decision-making. The trustees delegate the running of the charity to Wishful Thinking Communications Limited, which is operated by Chloë Hayward. Chloë liaises with individual members of the committee as well as the regional acquired brain injury forums and members of UKABIF. The organisation is led by the strategy from which the work is carried out under the leadership of the chair and often with input from other committee members depending on their area of specialism. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate its exposure to the major risks. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Aims and objectives** 

The aims of UKABIF in accordance with the constitution are: 

● The advancement of education, on the subject of children and adults with acquired brain injury, of the providers of services for people with acquired brain injury; people with acquired brain injury and their families and carers; and the community of the United Kingdom as a whole 

● The relief of disability of people with acquired brain injury by education rather than as a provider of direct services. 

## **UKABIF's key objectives are outlined below.** 

Raising Awareness of Acquired Brain Injury 

UKABIF sees its primary role to raise awareness of ABI - this includes highlighting the need for appropriate services, publicising progress on research and development as well collating and publishing information about the incidence, causes, consequences and costs of ABI - to a wide range of audiences. 

Development of Acquired Brain Injury Forums (ABIFs) 

UKABIF will continue to develop and support the ABI Forums in the United Kingdom. 

Influencing Policy and Commissioning 

UKABIF aims to highlight the need for specialised services for ABI to the Department of Health as well as the MPs, Peers and other significant agencies. 

Information 

UKABIF aims to be the first port of call for information on acquired brain injury. 

Organisational Issues 

The committee aims to ensure the governance of UKABIF is efficient and effective.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **All-Party Parliamentary Group for Acquired Brain Injury** 

UKABIF acted as the secretariat for the APPG alongside the office of the Chair Chris Bryant, MP. 

The group's objectives are: 

● To raise awareness of ABI and seek improvements in support and services for people directly affected by ABI and also their families and carers 

● To provide a voice for those who are not always heard by Ministers and MPs 

● To be the main forum for ABI in Parliament, raising key issues across health, social care and welfare which all affect people living with ABI in the UK 

The following shows the activities which UKABIF has been involved with over the duration of the year: 

## **Meetings and Reports** 

## **Meeting with the Care Minister, Helen Whately, 20[th] May 2021** 

A meeting with the Care Minister focussed on discussion of coordinating responses to the issues relating to acquired brain injury across government departments and forming one plan. 

## **Acquired Brain Injury Private Members Bill (PMB) meeting with the Department for Health and Social Care, 30[th] June and September 2021** 

Discussions took place on the outline of the draft Private Members’ Bill to ensure it covers England and Wales and develop a legislative consent motion. 

Conversations with various ministers including Michael Gove and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, have been positive in support of the PMB. 

## **House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee Report on Concussion in Sport published 22[nd] July 2021** 

UKABIF welcomed ‘Concussion in sport’ a report published by the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee on 22[nd] July 2021. 

The Committee took oral evidence from twenty-seven clinicians, academics, campaigning organisations, sports people and representatives of sporting associations between March and May 2021 and written evidence from a further fifty-one individuals and organisations. UKABIF provided both in person and written evidence. 

The report made several clear points as follows: 

·      Each sport is left to itself to decide on correct protocols for concussion/brain injury and on what should happen when participants should return to play. There is no over-arching government action or advice and an absence of employer responsibility. 

·      Those playing sport do not have enough information about concussion/brain injury and its long-term consequences 

·      The NHS does not have standardised procedures or staff training about concussion/brain injury and data collection is poor 

·      There is a lack of transparency in published research funding and research evaluation

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** _**(continued)**_ 

The recommendations made by the report are: 

- The Government should establish UK-wide minimum standard definition for concussion that all sports must use and adapt for their sport. 

- The Government should deliver a comprehensive communications campaign to ensure all those involved in sport can access best practice information. This should signpost people to advice on what action to take. 

- Health and Safety Executive should work with National Governing Bodies of all sports to establish a national framework for the reporting of sporting injuries 

- UK Sport should take a governance role in assuring that all sports it funds raise awareness of the dangers of concussion effectively 

- UK Sport should pay for a medical officer at every major sporting event with responsibility to ensure the safety of participants and the power to prevent athletes at risk from competing 

- NHS England should review the way it collects data about concussion and concussion-related brain injury 

- NHS England and the Faculty of Exercise and Sports Medicine should prepare a learning module on best practice for treating and advising those with concussive trauma and ensure all GPs and A&E clinicians take this module within 2 years 

- The Government should convene a single research fund to co-ordinate and fund research to ensure it is independent and excellence-driven as well as being accessible to all. 

- The Government should convene a specialist group on concussion drawing on campaign groups and relevant scientific expertise. 

The report’s recommendations closely mirror those made in the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Acquired Brain Injury’s (APPG for ABI) Report: Acquired Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation: Time for Change which was published in 2018. The APPG were pleased that the committee agreed with the arguments set out in the 2018 report. 

## **Acquired Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation in Wales: Time for Change** 

UKABIF launched the Welsh Time for Change report at a public webinar on 6[th] July 2021. The launch was attended by almost 70 people and was recorded – available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ptETD84EmU&t=1s 

Chris Bryant provided a message of support at the launch event. Full details about the Welsh Campaign are available here: www.ukabif.org.uk/TFCWales 

In addition to the publication of the report a petition asking for appropriate provision of services and support for people with Acquired Brain Injury in Wales was set up. https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/244879 

UKABIF is working closely with members of the regional groups in Wales to take forward the recommendations of the report. A working group has been established and relevant contacts are being made in the Welsh government and within the relevant policy areas.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Government publishes response to concussion in sport report 10[th] December 2021** 

UKABIF considered the response to be a positive step forward in the issue of sport-related brain injury. Many of the proposed recommendations and actions are important developments that will protect players from brain injury in sport. It is now incumbent on the Government to work with all stakeholders to deliver on these commitments. 

However, the report misses the opportunity to engage and include many of the committed not-for-profit organisations who have decades of expertise in managing, researching, and educating on concussions both inside and outside of sport. The Concussion in Sport Research forum should be inclusive of the wide array of stake holders including athletes, clinicians, and researchers from a variety of disciplines. 

In addition, the response contains no mention of CTE or early-onset dementia and associated conditions. There is no proposed action to develop guidance and support for the many ex-athletes and their families who are currently suffering with the consequences of sport-related neurodegeneration.  The enquiry was established in response to athletes and their loved ones calls for help and change, which seem to have been ignored. 

## **Private Members Bill – Acquired Brain Injury** 

A key feature of the year was UKABIF’s support of Chris Bryant’s Acquired Brain Injury Private Members Bill and subsequent ABI Strategy. 

Chris Bryant submitted a private members bill in June 2021 which set out a strategy for meeting the needs of adults and children with acquired brain injury by improving the provision of relevant services such as those provided by local authorities, NHS bodies, NHS foundation trusts, the Ministry of Defence, the Prison Service, the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. 

The bill requested that the government should issue guidance to local authorities, NHS bodies and NHS foundation trusts, the Ministry of Defence, the Prison Service, the Department of Work and Pensions and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport which included 

- action to prevent acquired brain injury, including through shared protocols on concussion in professional and amateur sport and health and safety provisions at work; 

- research into the societal, congenital, medical and environmental causes of acquired brain injury; 

- the provision of relevant services for the purpose of diagnosing acquired brain injury, including in prisons, schools and the armed forces; 

- the identification of adults and children with an acquired brain injury, including in schools, youth services, prisons and the armed forces; 

- the assessment of the needs of adults and children with an acquired brain injury for relevant services, including neuro-rehabilitation, physiotherapy and welfare payments; 

- other planning in relation to the provision of relevant services to adults and children with an acquired brain injury; 

- the training of staff who provide relevant services to adults and children with an acquired brain injury, including teachers, educational psychologists and those who assess welfare payments; and 

- local arrangements for leadership in relation to the provision of relevant services to adults and children with an acquired brain injury.

## **Supporting the ABI Bill** 

In October 2021 UKABIF convened a working group of key organisations which included the Child Brain Injury Trust, The Children’s Trust, The Disabilities Trust and Headway. The focus of the group was to raise awareness of the Bill and secure support from MPs across the House. 

UKABIF briefed a design team to produce artwork to support the bill. This comprised hand held boards, stickers, face masks, badges, social media cards and profile frames and a webpage to host information about the bill. 

Masks, badges and stickers were circulated at the UKABIF Summit and were distributed through the working group members. Masks and badges were sent to all MPs w/c 22/11/2021. 

## **Letter to Downing Street** 

Chris Bryant wrote to the Prime Minister and the letter was undersigned by almost 100 MPs and a further 100 organisations and individuals. The letter was hand delivered to 10 Downing Street on 15[th] November and Chris was accompanied by representatives of the charities and a number of MPs. 

## **Prime Ministers Question - 24[th] November 2021** 

At Prime Ministers Questions the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, responded to a question tabled by Chris Bryant, MP by confirming that the government would develop a strategy for acquired brain injury. The programme board for the strategy would be chaired by the Minister for Care and Mental Health, Gillian Keegan and Chris Bryant. 

## **Private Members Bill – House of Commons on 3[rd] December 2021** 

The Bill was due to receive its Second Reading but was talked out by the preceding item. 

## **ABI Strategy Call for Evidence Launched March 2022** 

A Call for Evidence to inform the Acquired Brain Injury Strategy was launched at Westminster. The event was attended by key officials from different government departments alongside brain injury survivors, carers, third sector organisations and health care professionals. The Call for Evidence ran for 6 weeks. 

## **Criminal Justice Acquired Brain Injury Interest Group (CJABIIG)** 

The group made good progress during the course of the year in major part due to additional support. Hope Kent was employed as an intern to support CJABIIG alongside Gemma Buckland who is also providing more strategic professional support. This is due to funding received from the Allen Lane Foundation and John R Murray Charitable Trust. 

In October 2021 CJABIIG were able to formally thank Lord David Ramsbotham for his years of service and advocacy, as he stepped down as chair of the group. This is recognised as an opportunity to take time to reflect and develop new strategy going forwards. 

A small sub-committee was formed to assess the future direction of CJABIIG, and the leadership of the group. This sub-committee are updating the CJABIIG strategy document and contacting key stakeholders. In line with this, they are also aiming to improve social media presence, including twitter and blog posts.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** _**(continued)**_ 

The group has extended its network and created a more formalised meeting format which includes two presentations followed by time for updates and networking. 

In December 2020, the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice commissioned HM Inspectorate of Prisons and HM Inspectorate of Probation, with support from HMICFRS, to undertake an independent review of neurodiversity in the criminal justice system (CJS). The document was published in July 2021 

https://cdn.ymaws.com/ukabif.org.uk/resource/resmgr/news/neurodiversity_in_the_criminal_justice_sy stem/neurodiversity_evidence_revi.pdf. 

Research shows that brain injury in men, women and adolescents within the criminal justice system is up to five times higher than the general population. 

CJABIIG now awaits the government’s response to the review and hopes it will signal a step change in recognising how people with brain injuries can get swept into the criminal justice system. It is hoped a better response to those in the system will include better screening, assessment, staff training, and informed, effective responses which help them to understand and navigate the system and to find a path back out of it. This will require additional resources. 

The Inspectorates’ report echoes the recommendations of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Acquired Brain Injury’s report; _Acquired Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation: Time for Change_ , which made a series of proposals on criminal justice which the Group is seeking to take forward and we wish to see addressed by the government. 

## **Supporting Transitions to Adult Services in the Criminal Justice System – May 2021** 

UKABIF secured a grant from the Barrow Cadbury Trust to support a research project entitled ‘Supporting Transitions to Adult Services in the Criminal Justice System’, in partnership with Leaders Unlocked. The purpose of the grant is to improve support for young people (aged 17-25) with acquired brain injuries making the transition to adult justice services. 

There are four components to this project: 

1. Scoping: the project group will carry out in-depth discussions with key representatives from NHS England and the Ministry of Justice to identify key gaps in data and highlight areas where further research is needed. 

2. Liaison and Diversion: This piece of work will examine the prevalence of ABI in data collected by Liaison and Diversion Schemes, with a focus on those aged 17-25. It will include a review of gender, race and co-existence of other neuro disabilities. 

3. Review of HMPPS training: This part of the project will assess the nature and impact of ABI training planned in Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Services. 

4. Developing a Tool for Young Adults with ABI. 

Gemma Buckland is managing the project, researchers have been employed through the charity Leaders Unlocked which gives young people from under-represented groups to have a stronger voice on issues which affect their lives. 

By the year end the project had seen the development of a broad network of colleagues across the justice system, Freedom of Information Requests had been distributed to all police forces asking for feedback about screening and subsequent actions taken and research permissions were underway.

## **The National Acquired Brain Injury in Learning and Education Syndicate (NABLES)** 

The National Acquired Brain Injury in Learning and Education Syndicate was established in 2019 with the remit to support UKABIF in delivering the education recommendations of the Time for Change Report. The group has focused on developing links with education providers of children and young people and producing guidance on returning to education. 

A new booklet and poster ‘ _**ABI Return – Children and Young People with Acquired Brain Injury -**_ 

_**guiding their return to education**_ ’ was launched in May 2021 for those professionals involved in helping children and young people with an Acquired Brain Injury prepare for, and achieve, a successful return to education and to help progress their recovery. 

In addition to the publication the team produced a poster and two worksheets for professionals to use 

in their work with children and young people with acquired brain injuries. This production of this publication was made possible with the support of the following organisations; The Children’s Trust, The Eden Dora Trust for Children with Encephalitis and Irwin Mitchell LLP. 

N-ABLES fulfilled a busy schedule of presentations which included presenting a poster at the virtual International Brain Injury Association in July 2021 as well as presenting at regional group events and events for teachers and SENCOs. 

In January 2022 N-ABLES was shortlisted as a finalist for in the Child Brain Injury Trust’s Diamond Awards in the Collaboration Award Category. 

Also in January N-ABLES published "Back to school after brain injury", in NASEN Connect's January edition. 

During the course of the year N-ABLES received funding from The Lovel Foundation to support an internship. Emily Morley has taken up the internship to support this special interest Group. 

## **Community Rehabilitation Alliance (CRA) and the Neurological Alliance (NA)** 

UKABIF has worked with the CRA and NA across their policy and parliamentary work which has included a response to the health and social care bill. 

## **Social Work England (SWE)** 

UKABIF led a campaign urging Social Work England to address the issue of providing brain injury training to social workers. This followed the outcome of a Safeguarding Adults Review in Brighton and Hove where the lack of knowledge in this profession was cited as adding to the man’s death. UKABIF met SWE on 13[th] July and has committed to maintaining contact over the issues which arose. 

## **Strategic Partnerships** 

UKABIF launched its Strategic Partnership programme in 2021. The partners working with UKABIF in 2021 were Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, Leigh Day, Cygnet Healthcare and Neuro ProActive. They met with UKABIF regularly and supported activities connected to the Time for Change programme of work. The partnership included sponsorship of the UKABIF Summit in November 2021.

## **UKABIF Summit 8[th] November 2021** 

UKABIF’s Annual Summit took place on Monday 8th November at London’s Royal Society of Medicine and online. The meeting updated delegates on the recent progress following the publication of the **‘Acquired Brain Injury and Neurorehabilitation: Time for Change’** report, as well as discussing the developments and improvements in the delivery of care for people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). 

Professor Andrew Bateman, UKABIF Chair, welcomed delegates and introduced Chris Bryant, Labour Member of Parliament for the Rhondda, and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on ABI. Chris briefed delegates on the ABI Bill which will be debated in the House of Commons on the 3rd December and encouraged everyone to write to their MPs and request support for the Bill. 

Leigh Day sponsored the first session on women, brain injury and sport, currently a ‘hot’ topic with research demonstrating the differences in the way women and men experience sport-related brain injury and neurodegeneration. Freya Holdaway, a professional footballer, described how three concussions in 18 months resulted in her retirement from the game. Dr Elisabeth Williams, Senior Lecturer in Applied Biomechanics at Swansea University highlighted the sex differences in sports players and emphasised the need for female-orientated pitch protocols to deal with concussions, and for treatment to be tailored differently. 

The second session was sponsored by Cygnet Health Care, looking at ways to improve clinical practice for people with brain injury. Dr Tony Perini, Consultant Neuropsychiatrist and Alex Scordis-Hutchinson, Neuro-Occupational Therapist, both from Cygnet Health Care, discussed how brain injury and mental health continue to be boxed separately but require a holistic approach to maximise outcomes. “Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) has a unique contribution to rehabilitation” said Elizabeth Nightingale, Neuro Services Lead and Trainer Neurologic Music Therapist, Chiltern Music who discussed a NMT pilot clinic being run by a partnership between Chiltern Music Therapy and the Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit (RNRU) at Homerton Hospital. Chiltern Music Therapy uses NMT techniques to support patients to meet their rehabilitation goals in the functional domains of speech and language, sensorimotor, and cognitive skills. 

“We need to look beyond the traditional multidisciplinary team to the work of the ‘hotel service staff' in neurological care homes” said Dr Julie Latchem-Hastings, Research Fellow at Cardiff University after observing the interactions of staff with residents. She said: “All these staff help towards the rehabilitation of patients but go unnoticed, untrained and are not an accepted part of the team”. 

The session sponsored by Neuro ProActive looked at the explosion of neurotechnology developments with a panel comprising Liz Ashall-Payne, ORCHA, Rachel Taylor, Operational Manager, South Wales Trauma Network and Dr Sally Lewis, National Clinical Lead for Value-Based and Prudent Healthcare and Honorary Professor at Swansea School of Medicine. They discussed setting standards in digital technology, developing an interactive patient information system and the footprint for fully integrated systems.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Financial review** 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income.  The Board of Management has examined the Charity's requirements in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be sufficient to sustain 6 to 9 months of committed overhead   The Board considers this would be no more than £50,000 at 31 March 2022. 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also directors of United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these 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 estimates that are reasonable and prudent;- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 charitable company 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 charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the 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 charity’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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the members are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. The estimates and associated 

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. During the year, there were no judgements in applying the accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty which materially affected the financial statements.

## **Year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Fund accounting** 

Fund accounting is applied to any restricted income that is received in the year. The restricted income is allocated to specific expenditure as per the terms of the donor. 

Unrestricted funds have no specific requirements of how the incoming resources is to be spent. The income is used on charitable activities, the costs to generate future funds and day to day governance costs. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the receipts and payments account when the charity receives the income. 

## **Resources expended and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised on a cash basis as incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

## **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. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Computer - 25% straight line Website - 25% reducing balance

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The trust 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **4. Limited by guarantee** 

United Kingdom Acquired Brain Injury Forum is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital. 

Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
