Chair of Trustees
At the close of 2025 Ihe Healhrow Special Needs Centre continues to provide its Gore
services to clients with varying degrees of special needs who attend our safe, secure and
friendly environment here in Longford.
The pr&booking system for most of our opening days ensures meaningful activities are
available to visitors and tsilored to their needs and aspirations.
WalkAbout Wednesdays continue to be popular with an average 80 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 appointment. Wednesdays
are hectic but always engaging and fun. In the middle of the year Tuesdays were opened up
to become a mix of booked and walk up visitors. This has also proved popular with an
average of 50 plus attending. The flexibility in attending suits those whose circumstances
can vary at short notice.
Continued stresses on the nations finances have been refiected in our donation levels.
Although our position has steadied over the past ￿e1ve months our fixed expenses erode
thosè numbers quickly for example with volatility in the electricity market or animal feed
supplies. 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 th8 Trustees wish to fomially thank our staff 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.
Generous specific grants enabled us to fulfill a long held desire to bring Alpa¢as to the
Centre. The five girls arrived in February and have become very popular additions with their
friendly and inquisitive nature. Over time they will become halter trained enabling more
structured interactions to take place.
At the end of 2025 there are signs of improvement in businesses wishing to reconnect with
us as the airport and associated companies continue to recover confiden￿. Company
volunteering groups from Centrica, Finnenich and Enterprise have made notable practical
visits. Funding from grant providers is reduced as these organisations have so many
additional requests due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. It is hoped that 2026 will see the
fruits of our proactive efforts to reach out to likeminded supporters will help put the Centre on
more Sustained path regards funding.
We re￿1ve 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 diff8rence the Centre makes to the lives of disadvantaged people that drives us to
ontinue 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 com8.

Treasurerfs Report
The Charity Accounts for the year ended 31 De￿mber 2025 follow and indude details of
restricted grants. The Accounts have been independendy examined by S M Amstrong and
his report is also attached.
Donations and Grants increased in 2025 following 2024 which was an extremely low
income year. However. as with the prior year overall costs were greater than income
with the charity drawing on reserves to cover the shortfall.
Th8 centre receives no income in ternis of Govèmmerrt 5UPPOrt beyond a small
amount of Gift Aid, despite the widespread benefrts provided by the ￿ntre to many
disadvantaged residents that trav81 locally, from neighbouring boroughs and beyond
on a regular basis.
Donations from Corporate and other or9anisations improved in 2025 from an
unusually low level of income in 2024. The Trustees are extremely grateful to
organisations that regulady provide funds 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.
Oth8r donations received from individuals were similar to the prior year. It is hoped
that with increasing visrtor numbers, this area of fundraising will also improve, noting
that as services are free to visitors at the point of delivery, the centre Is grateful for all
Individua18 that choose to make donation8 to the centre.
The Centre generated a 8mall amount of Trading Income in the year, mainly from the sale of
fann produce.
Overall costs in 2025 were slightly lower than 2024 de8Ptte persistent inflationary
pressures on all costs. The Trustees continue to focus on running the ￿ntre in the most
financially efficient way to operate within available resources, The charity continues to
deliver core serNi¢es though sustained periods of low income prevent the opportunities to
enhance the our offering to visitors. To cover core running costs the ￿ntre is targeting
regular income in ex￿$$ of £7,500 per month to cover basi¢ employees. wages, Lrtilities,
animal feed & husbandry and repairs & maintenance.
The charity ended 2025 with redU￿d cash reseNes bLrt remain within the long running
goal of retaining 6 months of running costs in unreslricted cash reserves, providing Security
of Servi￿ provision. Raising sources of regular unrestricted funds remains a priority for the
centr8.
For those individual donors who Can make and sKJn a Gift Aid Declaration, the charity
Can reciaim the Income Tax content of the donation from HM Revenue and Customs.
