We have conlinued to work collaboratively with the Woodlands Muftimedia children's book which has been written
by dients on the creative writing group, designed by the Art group and illustrated by the photography group. This is
a multimedia and multi group activity bringing together the members from all regions. This project was completed
and published with a large book launch in June 2024. The woodland book has been funded by an award gained in
January 2022 which is still actively being used to facilitate the launch and publishing.
The work with Child Brain Injury Trust continues to thrive and this Woodlands book in just one venture. We are
working to put in place a transition officer to support children into adult brain injury charitable Se[vi￿S. We will be
calling this the HOPE programme. Thi5 is likely to come to fulfilled in next accounting period but is in the planning
and there are grants and bids out to fund this post.
We continue to offerfree activities to the children from CBIT each year atthe annual Glow Bowl for the seen and not
hurt campaign they run.
Every region was supported to hold an in person summer picnic's or gatherings as well as Christmas activty and
meal to start to bring everyone together some members had never met fa￿ to face and were still isolating due lo
medical conditions. Members meals were given heatry concessions or paid for outright by the funds gained in
regional grants and bids through the year.
Mile a day in May was a very large fundraiser for all regions to get involved with and walk, wheel or run a mile a day
in May for sponsored event to raise much needed funds. We also completed a Dragon boat race, in Juty 2024 in
Kingston for the 6th year running. This was as part of a wider rowing group in joint coordination for the children's
Brain Injury Charity and Mobsta Advertising Agency who sponsored the event. In February 2024 we again delivered
a project called 'What Makes your Heart Shine, art campaign which ran over the month to celebrate on a social
media campaign for our members to express what they were grateful for and what they were intrested in through
the medium of art.
Aston Universty the charity partnered with the Charity and West Midlands group members providing members to
speak at the universities. This was our third year facilitating a module within the medical degree ¢ourses to provide
'expert patienf and bedside manner, which also worked to increase the awareness of brain injury to medical
students. Pathway to Healthcare working with six formers linked or enrolling towards the medical degree courses is
further module that our members now facilitate within the sixth form college.
We have now received a grant to put in post a university coordinator to work with Aston Universty and blue print
what we have achieved there as a charity into other universities nationwide. This will come to fruition in the next
accounting period.
Other Charity partnerships in this period of time reviewed were with Love Rowing and Child Brain Injury Trust
Several successful funding applications have led to this financial year bringing in more than we have in any other
year.
We continue to have a 75¥D ratio work force of employees that ale brain injuied.
We are incredibly grateful to the beneficiaries listed and others, some of which have supported specific activities or
regional projects. The financial backing has enabled the continuation of the charity running as a whole, core costs
including employee wages, growth in the charity and business strategy and most importantly enable our client
service users to access FREE online and in person rehabilitstion, activities, courses and connections.

Going concem
There are no concems from all Broad members and those within the financial teams thal the Charity would cease
as a going concem. We are all feeling extremety positive about the incredible fundraising efforts of our Fundraising
Officer, who has continued to deliver on his goals to meet the outgoing costs of the Charity as well as source
funding for specific projects and staff costs. As well as looking for additional funding streams to increase our slaff
tearn and have this funded directty and update our website.
ReSP￿eS policy
The Silverlining Charity I"The CIO) always strives to operate with strong financial management. This ensures we
can offer maximal sustainable impact with those funds raised.
One part of this is the generation and maintenance of sufficient reseNe funds to secure our continued service
provision for such a time as to reasonably fulfil all legal and moral duties to service users, employees, contractors
and the Charity Commission should our income unexpecledly decrease. This policy seeks to mitigate those risks
associated with our income and exp8nditure being different from that forecasted.
A formal policy on reserves was agreed at the Spring 2018 meeting of the board of trustees. The CIO will activety
seek to generate and malntain financial reserves which ensures that three months of core activities could continue
during a period of unforeseen financial difficufity. At least one third of these resources must be maintained in
readity releasable form. The remaining reserves must be available must be available for use with one months,
notice.
Our aim is to hold unrestricted funds equal to £35,000 to £40,000 (2023: £35,000 to £40,000). Our unreslricted free
reserves at the year end amounted to £125,54312023.' £53,798). At the year end restricted funds total £nil (2023..
£12,812).
The Iruslees review the policy on an annual basis.
Principal funding sources
Principle fundraising sources are through a variation of funding applications lo charitable fvnds, foundations,
philanthropists, fundraising bids and grants. This is overseen and managed by Jonathan Smallman Davies our
Charity Fundraiser.
Following this we have a dedicated following of supporters and the dients. as well as their families. who often get
involved at a local level to complete fijndralsing tasks and challenges.
We run 'central' fundraising activities as well such as..
Love Rowing partlcipations
Mile a Day in May 24
Kingston Dragon Boat Race July 24
Silverlining Skydive August 2024
Silverlining Wing Walk Challenge (not run this year due to lack of uptake)
These add¢tional fundraisers tend to have good sign up amongst our professional members as they are extreme
adventurous personal challenges and tend to bring with it, after the cost of the activity a good profft.
Additionally, we hold an annual Affiliated Solicitor Scheme review and renew. This is where suitable and assessed
Solicitor fimis complete an application and assessed process to be on a part of our affiliate scheme and hosted on
our website. This is monitored by our legal Board member, and we have a professional panel who review the
applications and ensure a strict rjiterion is being followed.
At this time, we do not have any investments, social or otherwise. Therefore, we do not have a policy oullining this
aspeci of the charity.

Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in 5teding. which is the fundional currency of the charity- Monetsry

At each reporting end date. the charity reviews the carying amounts of its tangible assets to detemiine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication
