example of ho￿ our work with partners has made g difference to local health planning is our M'ork with the
Nottinghain Inte£rated Care Partnersliip (ICP). To help infonn the ICP of what matters to local communitie5, we
hosted a workshop with Nottinghain CVS for local voluntary and community sector IVCS) partners to come
together and share the voice of the communities they represent with the ICP.

Finaneial review
Our income for the year wa5 £363,175, ￿lth expenditure of £306,476.
There was a sllrplus in 20?0121 resulting fro
l) Savings from our changed methods of working and our reduced level of operation arising from Covid 19.
2) A surplus on extra contracted ￿'Ork which was carried out iii the year which will be applied to developing
5etTrice5 in 2021122.
Poliry oll reserves
The reserves are there primarily to cover any unforseen dips in income ensuring sustainability during rhe
financial year,. moreover to ensure full operational costs are covered for a minimum of 3 months should all
income sources cease. A surn has been assessed for such risks and set aside as an eamiarked reserve within the
General Fund. The Trustees have also agreed thai. where resources permit. an element of any uneamiarked
reserves can be applied to invest in the future development of services defined in the organisation's Business

Principul risk5 and uncerlaiRlie5
lain r￿kS
Substantial reduction5 in our local authoritj. grants over the last two year5 mean we are increasingFly reliant on
our ability to secure contracted income. We have used some of our SUTplus froin previou5 years to build thi5
Lapabilitj.
Another key uncertainty during this period was the ongoing pandemic. The pandemic has iiecessitated a
significant change iii how we have operated as a Healthwatch so that we could to coi)tinue to highlight concems
from the public while ei)suring ihat our staff and volunteers were kept safe and adhered to government guidance.
This does Inean that predominantly our activities have been delivered via digital Inethods.
