Review of the Year
H2H continues to expand having absorbed the impact of Covid and the resultant lock
down procedures. Wrth restoration of its ability to resume touring, eamed income rose
steadily from £20.538 to £24.989 but the Charity recognises that more emphasis needs
to be placed on eamed income to support its Core Costs. Tr Chanty is grateful to the

following core cost fvnders: The National Lottery. ReachlSIB Group and the John Thaw,
Screwfix and Foyle foundations. However. many funders remain reluctant to support
Core Costs and this, coupled wtth funding drverted to the cost-of-lpiing crisis, has meant
that the Charity has struggled to retain the same level of funding as in the previous year,
with restricted fvrKling receipts falling'from £201.020 to £120.405. The fundraising
department has dosed down as a cost saving exercise leaving the fundraising
department to be run by the Founder wtth some assistance from a professional
fundraiser who acts as consultant to the Board. The Accounts Deparbnent continues to
be overseen by a volunteer Financial Controller. Richard Bains.
During the year the Charity increased and varied its ou¢)ut with 125 toufed

Our pernianent base
Head2Head has settled into its new base at Drewsheame Bam, Oxted. The Cbality
Bank loan reduced from £308,750 to £300,890 despite the increase in interest rntes.
H2H is gratefvl to The WocKlen Spoon for rts generous offer of £15,000 to purchase
hygiene room equipment. to Closomat for the provision of a wetldry toilet and to the
tradespeople who have gffted time and supplies to reduce essential building costs. The
Charity is in dialogue with Muscular Dystrophy UK so that its newly created hygiene
room may be added to the list of Changing Places ToiFets available for use by wheelchair
users.
D￿wshearne Bam is an old milking station. Its purchase has met the needs for prop
storage and a base for rehearsals and filming. However. it is currently not suitsble for
delivery of perfo￿an￿S to children and young adults wilh disabilities because of its
poor insulation and lack of heating. The CharTty is making an application for funding to
Your Fund Surrey for £92.905 to provide cassette heating. double glazing, acoustic
iling tiles, fire compartmentation. solar panels and air source heat pumps. If
successful, the Charity will provide live prcmjuctions and workshops at the barn from
Autumn 2023.

experien￿S, two stories. three films and several workshops. 2024 productions will be
