HSNC Chairman's Report 2023
At the close of 2023 the Heathrow Special Needs Centre continues to provide its
core services to clients with varying degrees of special needs who attend our
safe, secure and friendly environment here in Longford.
The pre-booking system for most of our opening days ensures meaningful
activities are available to visitors and tailored to their needs and aspirations.
WalkAbout Wednesdays continue to be popular with an average 70 beneficiaries
on that day and although no guarantee of related tasks this unbooked attendance
day often acts as a lead to returning in a more structured manner on other days
by appointmenL Wednesdays are hectic but always engaging and fun.
Continued stresses on the nation's finances have been reflected in our donation
levels. Although our position has improved over the past twelve months our fixed
expenses erode those numbers quickly. Your Board of Trustees, to whom l am
grateful for their fortitude, have continued to provide support and assistance to
the Centre in so many ways as we guide ourselves through these times.
Both myself and the Trustees wish to formally thank our stsff and volunteers for
ensuring the Centre both delivers a unique experience for our clients as well as
caring for our animals who create that interaction that is the highlight of any
visit.
At the end of 2023 there are signs of improvement in businesses wishing to
reconnect with us as the airport and associated companies start to recover
confidence. Funding from grant providers is reduced as these organisations have
so many additional requests due to the cost of living crisis. It is hoped that
2024 will see the fruits of our proartive efforts to reach out to likeminded
supporters will help put the Centre on a more sustained path regards funding.
We receive many kind words and testimonials from clients. carers and parents
that show why the Centre is such a valued resource to those who benefit from
attending and, although for confidentiality reasons we cannot make many of
these publicly available. it is knowing the tangible difference the Centre makes to
the lives of disadvantaged people that drives us to continue our work
To close I would like once again to thank all who support the aims of Heathrow
Special Needs Centre and allow us to create happy moments for all our visitors
and we look forward to continuing this for many years to come.

Treasurfs Report
The Charty Accounts for the year ended 31 D*mber 2023 follow and include details of
restricted grants. The Accounts have been independently examined by S M Armstrong and his
report is also attached.
Overall Donations and Grants in 2023 were improved compared to 2022, stabilising the
financial posrtion of the chanty following a number of challenging years.
Government support in 2023 was again minimal, restricted to a small amount of gift aid,
despite the widespread beneffts provided by the ontre to many disadvantaged residents
that travel locally, from neighbourrng boroughs and beyond on a regular basis.
Donations from Corporate and other organisations were very positive in 2023. allowrng
the centre to replenish reserves and securing the viabilty of the charity in the medium
temi. It is encouraging to note both the continued support received from key
organisations and donations from new SoUr￿S during the year. The Trustees are
extremely grateful to organisations that regularly provide fvnds for running costs and take
a further active interest through volunteer groups helping to keep the site fft to welcome
our beneficiaries throughout the year.
Other donations recew&J from indtviduals were in line with 2022. It is hoped th* with
increasing visitor numbers. this area of fundraising will also improve, noting that as
ServI￿S are free to visitors at the point of delivery, the centre Is grateful for all individuals
that choose to make donations to the centre.
Trading income was reduced in 2023 following the end of a facilty share with another local
charity during 2022.
Overall costs in 2023 were similar to 2022 though digging deeper this is the combination of
continued significant cost inllation pressures, alongside an ongoing focus on running the
ntre in the most financialty efficient way to operate wrthin available resources.
To maintsin existing core offerings to our visitors. the ￿ntre is targeting a regular income in
excess of £7,500 per month to cover basic employees, wages. utiltties, animal feed &
husbandry and repairs & maintenan￿.
The charty ended 2023 with stronger cash reserves and are within the long running goal of
retaining 6 months of running costs in unrestricted cash reserves. providing security of service
wovision. Raising sources of regular unrestricted funds remains a priority for the centre.
For those individual donors who can make and sign a Grfl Aid Declaration. the chartty can
reclaim the Income Tax content of donation from HM Revenue and Customs.
