Structure, Governance & Management

How the Charity is Constituted

Matrix Neurological is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) adopting the Charity Commissions Foundation Model whereby the only voting members are the charity Trustees. We have adopted this model to ensure we comply with the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and the General Regulations. As part of this it helps us to ensure we:

Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are appointed for their individual knowledge, experience and skills that are considered essential to ensure the charity’s effective administration and its continued sustainability, growth and development. Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees in a properly convened meeting.

There are no connected persons. There are no persons carrying out business in partnership with the charity trustees. Trustees are also screened using a needs and skillsets assessment. This approach enables us to:

Additional Governance Information

The first Trustees created a Trustee Agreement which also states our Quality Standards and our Code of Conduct. This ensures that all Trustees are aware of our expectations of them.

There are a number of quality standards that we feel are applicable to Matrix Neurological as an organisation as well as to its Trustees and Staff. These are:

All the above have been taken into consideration in:

Established research shows the benefits these restorative interventions bring, yet it is not provided by the NHS for our client group who need 1‐1 intensive support.

Without us, the hidden complex needs of brain injured children and young people remain misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and untreated. In turn this leads to mental health issues in children and young people.

2021 has been a truly remarkable year. Over the past twelve months, Matrix Neurological has continued to respond to the Covid‐19 pandemic and support children, young people and families who have been hit hard by the crisis. Throughout it all, our commitment to supporting more children and families with acquired brain injury has remained resolute.

The unwavering dedication and loyalty of staff, volunteers and supporters has made this a year of progress for Matrix Neurological.

At the outset of the pandemic, we quickly adapted our services to ensure that we could continue delivering support to children and families without jeopardising outcomes, tapping into our resilience like never before.

We have continued to ensure effective oversight of the key risks, challenges and responses throughout the year.

Like so many charities we faced financial challenges as we adapted our support while our fundraising events and community fundraising activities were restricted. However, the generosity of new and existing supporters during this difficult time has enabled us to further develop our support services, including the opening of our dedicated classroom facility. We would like to thank all our supporters for helping us continue and expand our service delivery.

While we also faced challenges in recruiting to some roles throughout the last two years, the commitment of our staff and volunteers has been unwavering, ensuring support for our children and families was their first priority. They adapted brilliantly with the changing circumstances and have been extremely flexible and collaborative in carrying out their roles. They have shown agility, adaptability and innovation to cope with continual challenges and uncertainty and we firmly believe we are better and stronger for the experience.

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

Their response throughout has been admirable and we would like to pay tribute to our dedicated team.

Our ambitions have been a catalyst for further improving our infrastructure and facilities and working more efficiently. We are taking confidence from how effectively we have adapted and the speed with which we were able to change our ways of working.

We have introduced new IT infrastructure, software and security which has empowered our use of technology, enabling us to become more proficient over the year. This rapid adoption of technology extends to the evolution of our service provision too.

A local family supported our fundraising, by completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. This significant funding contribution has allowed us to purchase robotic equipment and other assistive technology to help improve the physical outcomes for many of the children we support, and we will be trialling robotic equipment in our rehabilitation and classroom settings this coming year. We continue to deliver support to children in community settings, in partnership with local schools and colleges.

We are an organisation on a mission, focused on reaching and supporting more children and families living with acquired brain injury and striving for excellence in everything we do. We are looking to the future with optimism as we continue to follow our roadmap of growth.

As we approach the new financial year, work is underway to create the structure to bring our charitable ambition to life. This includes considering the following:

Our Impact – the difference we want to make.

Our Values – the way we work to bring about change for children and young people, including how we involve and engage children and young people as active participants in our work, acting on their input and amplifying their voices.

Our Focus – the activities we should focus on, now and over the long term

Our Culture – creating the right and most productive environment for our staff and volunteers to succeed

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team, we would like to thank you for your support and interest in our work.

Statement on Public Benefit

While the risks and challenges that we faced during 2021/22 have kept us busy, the focus of our work has been for public benefit, including supporting children and families in our local communities and long‐term unemployed volunteers into part time paid work.

Charitable Objects

Advancement of Education

We can state that these have been met as follows:

Our website continues to be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure its relevance, quality, accessibility, and clarity. Our Welcome and Information Packs are greatly appreciated by parents, together with our DVD entitled ‘Me and my brain injury’. We continue to promote our support services in a range of community venues, from schools, GP practices, to libraries, community hubs and youth groups. We provide advice and consultancy to schools and colleges and have delivered Brain Injury Awareness Training to schools, colleges and youth projects. A Head Teacher told us:

“I don’t even fully understand neuro‐psychological reports. They are not very clear. The work Matrix does, makes it understandable”.

We are members of key partnerships and leadership groups across the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire, raising awareness of acquired brain injury. We also had an extensive article about our work, published in Neuro Rehab Times, a quarterly publication aimed at sharing best practice amongst professionals.

Advancement of Health (or saving of lives)

We can state that these have been achieved by:

The continued provision of our innovative community‐based neurorehabilitation services and therapeutic interventions for children and young people, recovering from or living with acquired brain injuries. Our specialist ABI Support Service has expanded to include ABI Support Workers and two specially trained SEN Staff that is funded by BBC Children in Need for three years.

This year we have also expanded our partnerships and relationships with local schools, colleges and alternative education providers, to advocate for the needs of the children we support and provide direct support in school/college premises where this is needed.

We have expanded our Brain Injury Assessment Tools and they continue to highlight a range of other complex needs, which are often missed.

Once again, we have received excellent feedback from professionals in relation to our innovative support services and how they are personalised to individual need. Much of the important information we highlight has previously been unrecognised and unsupported, which has had a huge negative impact on the individual.

We are gradually becoming recognised as a high‐quality service and many professionals have personally thanked us for the information we have provided.

A senior university lecturer told us:

“I am in awe of your passion, knowledge and expertise. What an incredible service you offer families after brain injury.”

A local social worker said:

“We are impressed with the progress you have made so far with A…..my colleague was blown away by the tremendous work your organisation is doing…”

A local head teacher stated:

“I don’t even fully understand neuro‐psychological reports. They are not very clear. The work MATRIX does, makes it understandable”.

Our Services

Case Management

We continue to support families with our Case Management Service, ensuring we provide coordinated, practical assistance that is tailored to individual needs.

The service assesses and co‐ordinates the needs of both the brain injured individual and their family because the wellbeing of both is key to a positive outcome.

This year our Case Management Service has assisted 40 people affected by childhood acquired brain injury, which has ensured that everybody’s needs are assessed, recognised, and provided for.

Our Case Manager uses a variety of assessment tools that explore and investigate a range of potential difficulties, building a detailed needs profile of the child or young person. This information is shared with parents and provides valuable information to help families to communicate with both medical and non‐ medical professionals. This is vital in ensuring clinicians understand the effects and life impact the brain injury is having on the individual in a world that sits well outside of the clinical environment. Many issues are missed otherwise.

We continue to find that standard education psychological testing and school SEN services fail children and young people living with acquired brain injuries and have little or no long‐term impact on their ongoing recovery. In turn this negatively impacts their future psychological, social, and economic wellbeing.

11

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

Our detailed cognitive reports identify the individuals hidden complex needs that are often missed in standard neuropsychological assessments. Our reports provide schools with a clearer understanding of a child’s needs and inform EHC Plans to help deliver better long‐term outcomes.

Our Case Manager advocates for the unmet needs of brain injured children and young people and works with Social Workers and Social Care Departments. The needs of these kids are frequently misunderstood, ignored or misinterpreted leaving their needs unmet and their families struggling to cope. Importantly the service continues to highlight the vulnerability and risks facing our client group and challenge poor decision making.

The in‐depth investigative and analysis work we do is essential to understanding the individual needs of children and young people; and involves gathering and collating a range of reports and information across multi‐disciplinary areas. We also complete baseline assessments from which to measure progress on the recovery journey.

One family told us:

“We are truly grateful as a family for the services you have been providing for our son (aged 19) and daughter (aged 10), who both suffered brain injuries but in different circumstances.

The results from your work are having great results for both children. But we would like to acknowledge the latest milestone for our son, when he was taken on by a local joinery company. This is a massive result from when he suffered his severe brain injury in 2017. His outcome was not (looking) very good, and he was expected to be in a wheelchair and be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life.

We had early contact with Jan Rock from Matrix in Middlesbrough in the very first few weeks of our son’s severe brain injury. That was a blessing in disguise. If our son and daughter were left with just the NHS to fall back on, we would not see the results we are seeing today with both children. And that is a FACT!

Thank you once again for reaching yet another important milestone, with the professional work Matrix delivers to our family!”

Case Study – Following a stroke at the age of 9, this young person was left with aphasia (speech problems), an inability to write and cognitive difficulties, which were presumed to be a low IQ/low intellectual ability. They felt socially isolated and were not able to text their friends independently.

They were referred to Matrix after bouncing around the health, social care and education system for ten years, having been involved with over 25 professionals during this period.

They were in alternative education provision, where the Head Teacher acknowledged they had never seen any learning difficulties like this before and was struggling to know what to do.

The young person told us: “I wish I had died…..Nobody Understands…..Nobody Wants Me…..Nobody Cares”

12

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

We explained we could not change what had happened, but we would not let it define the rest of their life.

Before we could even start to address the issues caused by the stroke, we needed to help this young person to develop their self‐confidence and their self‐esteem. We worked out why they were unable to write and developed a support plan.

Five weeks later the young person was able to recognise and text the vowels and after eight weeks was able to speak in eight‐word sentences. Six months later they are writing and working independently in school and have completed Foundation Skills in Math’s Level 1 and is now working towards Level 2.

This young person’s family told us they had also read a book for the first time in ten years.

They are speaking really well now and can send text messages to friends. Their self confidence and self‐esteem has greatly improved and their future looks significantly brighter.

Family Support Service

With many parents struggling to understand their child’s hidden disabilities and how to advocate effectively for their needs in the creation of Education, Health, and Care Plans, the overarching aims of our Family Support Service is to improve parent/carer mental health and wellbeing and build family knowledge and understanding of acquired brain injury to build family resilience.

In many cases both the child and/or the parents are blamed for unacceptable behaviours or learning difficulties that are related to hidden disabilities. Whilst many parents are told that their child has had a stroke or a concussion, many are not given clear information about the long‐term effects this may have. Education professionals then struggle to understand what that means for a child’s developing brain and think of it as a mental health issue or Autism, and the child falls further and further behind as school. In turn, they are referred to inappropriate services and receive treatment for misdiagnosed mental health and/or intellectual disabilities.

Case Study ‐ This year we supported a family whose child had sustained a concussion at age 3 following a fall from a wall onto concrete. Whilst the parents were aware of the concussion, the long‐term impacts of the concussion were not explained to them by medical professionals. As a result, the parents were left in the dark as to what the future may hold and how to help their child.

During the early years at school, problems with learning then started to emerge. A very rare child health condition was also diagnosed. This led to the child being assessed as having ‘a low IQ and poor academic ability’. This was accepted by education and local authority staff, who in turn had low expectations and aspirations for the child. Over many years the child’s needs were not met, despite Mum challenging the local authority SEN department trying to have needs met. Rejection after rejection by the local authority had a negative impact on parental mental health and this led to increased family stress and eventual marital breakdown.

14

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

SEN support staff did not understand the child’s needs and did not provide appropriate support to meet need. Then as the child slipped further and further behind at school, their confidence and self‐esteem dwindled until they eventually dropped out of education. They also lost all their social skills and were left socially isolated from their peers. After compulsory school ended, the now young person, was placed in an adult day care unit for people with ‘mental health issues’ and learning disabilities. Then after the Social Worker became aware of our service, the person was referred to us.

We investigated this young person’s case and learned about the traumatic brain injury sustained as a toddler. After undertaking extensive research, we also found that, the rare health condition was also associated with the concussion (TBI). We found Mum to be so frustrated, stressed, and anxious that she could barely talk to us. Over many hours and weeks, we just listened and became a shoulder to lean on. We held her hand when she cried. We provided basic counselling. We educated her about traumatic brain injuries and the impact it has on a child’s developing brain. We stood by her side. We challenged statutory services and eventually the young person was referred to us. They received dedicated 1‐1 support from children and young people’s service.

OUTCOMES:

Parents ‐ The relationship between Mum and Dad has improved. Mum understands her child’s needs much better and feels strong enough to advocate for their needs. Mum feels like a weight has been lifted from her shoulders. Her mental health has improved. Her outlook on life has improved. Mum recently told us:

“I have waited for years and years for someone to see my child for who they are. It feels a mixture of relief and sadness. Sadness because all the professionals have missed so many opportunities to help and relief because we were finally taken seriously – all thanks to you seeing us for who we are. I know we still have a long way to go, but any progress is better than none. I feel that now we are getting there slowly.”

Child ‐ As the result of our innovative young people’s service, the young person has made significant progress as shown in the table below. Our long‐term goal is to move them into college.

Children and Young People Support Service

The lack of knowledge and understanding of childhood acquired brain injury across a range of medical and community professionals is astonishing. We believe this is the cause of most of the poor long‐term outcome’s brain injured children and young people experience.

Case Study 1 ‐ Severe traumatic brain injury at age 14 with midline shift. Interventions commenced three years post brain injury.

Impact: When this young person returned to school post injury, they could only attend for two hours per week, focusing on one subject – Basic Math’s. By 2021 they had completed a City & Guilds qualification Level 1&2 and are about to commence Level 3.

16

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

Case Study 2 – A‐Traumatic brain injury at aged 4 from Chemotherapy treatment. Therapy interventions commenced 4 years post A‐TBI.

Impact: During this last year the focus of our support has been on the four key skills relating to Attention. We also learned this primary aged child is having significant sensory issues which create behavioural problems. Whilst the graph shows that this child is still functioning below their peers in all areas, Memory and Attention have both improved significantly. During the same period, the child made significant improvements in Math’s and moved from an SEN Math’s class into a mainstream Math’s class. Teachers stated they were delighted with the progress made in 12 months.

Case Study 3 ‐ Young person with three TBI’s aged 2, 12 + 13. Interventions commenced 10 years post last TBI.

Impact: To date, we are seeing evidence of improved psychological wellbeing and self‐confidence.

17

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

Case Study 4 ‐ 19‐Year‐Old – 10 years post Stroke

Impact: This young person has received very little meaningful and knowledgeable help and support from statutory services. Despite receiving SEN support at school, they didn’t have an EHC Plan and left with very poor exam results. Attending college has failed and social care want to place them in a day unit facility. This lack of understanding has had a significant negative impact on their mental health and self‐esteem. In addition, this young person received very little intervention from health services, to address their physical re‐ablement, aphasia and other communication deficits. This is a real‐life example of a brain injured child being failed under the Children Act for over 10 years by statutory services, despite being under the care of 25‐30 multi‐agency professionals! Our interventions prioritised developing self‐confidence and self‐esteem. In the short time we have been working with this young person, they have read a book for the first time in 10 years; speech has improved to the extent that they can formulate 7‐to‐10‐word sentences and can now write the alphabet and send simple text messages to friends and family. The next steps of our support plan will focus on developing skills relating to Attention.

18

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

Case Study 5 ‐ 22‐year‐old – 13 years post Stroke.

Impact: MATRIX take a holistic coordinated approach, creating an individual profile for each child and young person we work with. This young person suffered a stroke in primary school. They were bullied and socially excluded in mainstream school for their SEN needs. They attended college with SEN Support and intensive 1‐1 Teaching intervention. This person left college with a Level 3 qualification. They could gain employment but could not sustain employment due to their cognitive difficulties. They had been bullied at work due to their severe memory problems. The individual had been treated for mental health issues during adolescence, but they told us this did not work because they did not understand. Also, the individual themselves, a) did not understand what had happened inside their own head; b) how this had affected them; and c) the impact this was having on their life. As such they couldn’t tell anyone else. Then, combined with a lack of understanding within the family, they were self‐harming.

This is a typical example of a person’s needs not being understood and receiving the wrong treatment. Despite being seen by almost 30 professionals in statutory services, they have been failed under The Children Act. Our support plan is focusing on their immediate needs and will then focus on development of the four key skills relating to Attention.

Volunteers

Our Volunteer Programme successfully expanded during 2021/22 with the appointment of a part time volunteer, working alongside our core staff team and a University Intern Placement, who joined us for twelve weeks during the summer.

While we also faced challenges in recruiting to some roles throughout the last two years, the progress that we have made as an organisation would not have been possible without the support of our core staff team, who include our volunteers as valued colleagues.

We have also supported one of our volunteers into paid part time employment with Matrix, providing continuity for our amazing team and personal development for the individual based on our core values.

We recognise how volunteering adds value to our service, the feedback from families, staff and volunteers illustrates how volunteering enhances the experience of children, young people and families, reduces isolation and loneliness, creates opportunities, builds skills and experience, builds resilience and much more.

The Trustees wish to extend a huge thank you to all our volunteers and staff for generously giving their time, dedication and skills. We wouldn’t be in the position we are now, without their hard work.

During 2021/22 the Trustees undertook a full Financial Review of our written Financial Management Procedures and operational practices to ensure they met recommended best practice as stated by the Charity Commission. We are pleased to report that our procedures were both robust and comprehensive and were compliant with the Guidance provided by the Charity Commission.

Accreditations

During 2021/22 the Trustees felt it was important to demonstrate our commitment to ethical fundraising. We are delighted to announce we are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and have signed up to the Fundraising Code of Practice.

We also assessed the organisation against the Charity Excellence Framework and were delighted to have gained their Quality Assurance Mark.

In addition, our Chief Executive Officer was recognised in the Leading the Way for Change category at the Healthwatch South Tees STAR Awards.

Reserves Policy

MATRIX Neurological CIO has maintained a small level of free reserves (unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets) aimed at meeting the working capital requirements of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of annual expenditure. Whilst this stands as a healthy figure the organisation has also increased its staffing levels. As at 31st March 2022 the free reserves fell short of this target. However, the trustees are aware of this and will be building up reserves with planned operating surpluses and fundraising activities where possible.

22

Trustee Annual Report 2021/22

Matrix Neurological

MATRIX Neurological CIO has maintained a small level of free reserves (unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets) currently £8,371 (2021: £8,670) aimed at meeting the working capital requirements of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

Our total income for the year was £128,629 (2021: £101,937) and expenditure for the year was £92,294 (2021: £41,055).

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a carried forward amount of £98,967 (2021: £62,632) and that includes unrestricted reserves of £8,371 (2021: £8,670) and restricted funds of £90,596 (2021: £53,962).

Own Fundraising Activities

The Trustees acknowledge that we cannot rely on grant funding to support the work of the charity and that we have a responsibility to undertake fundraising activities ourselves. However, the charity does not have a dedicated Fundraiser, so the staff and Trustees currently do this in their own time and on a voluntary basis.

We undertake the majority of our own fundraising activities through Donations Boxes and an Annual Fundraising Event which is well supported by local people.

Fundraising Event

Following the easing of COVID 19 restrictions we were able to host our Annual Fundraising evening. This took place in October 2021 and raised much needed unrestricted funding.

Direct Donations

People can also make donations via a number of portals; as shown below:

We wish to thank every individual who took the time to make a financial contribution towards our valuable work through one of our donation portals. We are grateful for your support and generosity.

Related Party Transactions

A trustee has taking up position as MATRIX Neurological CIO CEO. The salary paid to the CEO is based on the going rate for the roles undertaken and they have declared an interest and thus removed themselves from any discussions designated to trustees. This has been agreed upon by the Board of Trustees and approval from the Charity Commission. The salary paid is detailed in note 11 and note 13 for key management personals. The total salary paid was £16,915 (2021: £5,858). The trustee also incurred travel expenditure of £16. A relative of the CEO has undertaken volunteering work at MATRIX Neurological CIO in 2021. The expense of £16 was incurred on the normal commercial basis per the volunteering policy of the charity and no discount was given for the expense incurred. There is no outstanding balance at the year end.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

For the year ended 31 March 2022

I report on the financial statements of MATRIX Neuorogical CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 26 to 40.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2 Basis of accounting

2.1 Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

MATRIX Neuorogical CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £8,371 and has said they are working to secure more funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.

3 Income

3.1 Recognition of income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

3.2 Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.

3.3 Grants and donations

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

3.4 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.

3.6 Volunteer help

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

28

MATRIX Neurological CIO

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

3.5 Donated goods and services

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Donated services and facilities are included in the SoFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided that the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with the equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SoFA.

3.7 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

4 Expenditure and liabilities

4.1 Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

4.2 Charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of providing practical help and support to children, young people and their families who are living with the effects of childhood acquired brain injury and other activities

4.3 Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

4.4 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

4.5 Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2022

4.6 Leasing

Recognises a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the date at which a leased asset is made available for use by the entity, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets. For these leases, the entity recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the future lease payments, excluding any payments relating to non-lease components. Future lease payments include fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, and variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, less any lease incentives receivable. Lease liabilities also take into account amounts payable under residual value guarantees and payments to exercise options to the extent that it is reasonably certain that

such payments will be made. The payments are discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or, where that cannot be readily determined, at an incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are measured initially at cost based on the value of the associated lease liability, adjusted for any payments made before inception, initial direct costs and an estimate of the dismantling, removal and restoration costs required in the terms of the lease. The entity presents right-of-use assets in ‘Tangible assets’ in the balance sheet.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is reduced for payments made and increased to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method). The related right-ofuse asset is depreciated over the term of the lease or, if shorter, the useful economic life of the leased asset. The lease term shall

include the period of an extension option where it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Where the lease contains a purchase option the asset is written off over the useful life of the asset when it is reasonably certain that the purchase option will be exercised.

The entity remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

– The lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. – The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).

– A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

5 Assets

5.1 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity

Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Right of use Office and computer equipment

Straight line over useful life 25% Straight line
