Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit
The charity provides bespoke wrap-around support designed to meet the particular
needs of clients and their families. This includes advi￿, guidance and counselling on
brain tumourlinjury issues which clients and their families face, in a group or as one
on one sessions- activities including golf and support group sessions for sharing
experiences and issues- funding MRI scans and consultations with medical
practitioners when these are not forthcoming through the NHS. We also run a charity
shop to raise funds for the charity- Clients can help in the shop, which also serves as
premises for the charity in which clients can meet each other and charity staff and
volunteers.
Public benefit statement
Clients and their familieslloved ones are helped through what can be a traumatic and
distressing time, and where appropriate can be given advi￿ on how and where to
seek treatment if not already receiving treatment. By helping clients and families to
cope, the chances of mental despair and depression, of divorce, of knock-on adverse
effects on children, and possibly even suicide, are redu￿d. The support aims to give
a purpose for living. Return to work plans are prepared in consultation with doctors
and employers. As well as bringing these benefits to the individuals concerned, these
initiatives significantly reduce demand on public medical, mental and social care
resources which might othemise be required.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the
Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance
on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit,.
Summary of the main achievements during the period
It has been good to see, as we return to normality in our services, a large uptake
for support. The support is largely around physical and emotional care.
In the last 12 months the charity has supported 149 clients. We have created new
working partnerships, with therapists and healthcare professionals, to increase the
health and wellbeing of our clients. As we have seen a huge growth this has meant
an increase in volunteers and staff. This past year we recruited two new support
workers and 6 new volunteers in the support sector.
We also recognised the value of training our staff - especially with the
increasing numbers of staff and clients it is important we are working in unison.
We are creating a brand-new training program for staff and volunteers.
We have also revised our new clients, support packages and updated the information
we provided.

Hillingdon Brain Tumour & Brain Injury Group
Individual counsellin

Positive Life Line. Our aims of the project are to equip, empower and strengthen
clients and partnerships expertise, knowledge and awareness around brain
tumours and brain injury, to extend life expectancy of clients and improve end of
life care, creating a sustainable project that can be embedded into the
community. We provide for our ever-growing list of clients and partnerships with

held on 2510312022.
Wednesda
Weekl Allotment. Our Harmondsworth Moor Allotment is now up
and running. Our clients meet every week to tend the allotment under the
supervision of our volunteers. We provided sessions on what vegetables and
herbs are good for the body, planting vegetables and flowers tending and caring
for them. We even had some vegetables to enter in Hillingdon show. We have
raised flower beds and a little shed to go into if it rains. The allotment has been a
hub filled with joy and purpose friendship and love, learning and equipping our
clients (15 clients).
Monda
Weekl Bowlin
Sessions. A range of 10 clients accessing indoor bowls=
this supports their physical disabilities and improves hand and eye coordination

need another bowls mat.
Clients are able to also have tea and coffee share their lives.
Monthl
olf
Clients have the option of also joining our monthly Golf sessions, run by our support
worker and funded by the local golf club. This has proved extremely popular and again
has increased mobility, strength, friendships and confiden￿.

Hillingdon Brain Tumour & Brain Injury Group
Center of Ho
e chari
sho
The charity's shop (which sells donated items). The shop has been a hub for
customers and clients. We have increased our sales and stock. We also provide new
items such as gifts at low cost. The coffee shop which has been added has proved
very popular with our residents. The shop enables us to communicate to the
residents about the charity and the signs and symptoms of brain tumours, prevention
and early diagnosis. We also work again with other charities enabling us to reuse all
donations. We now also have an online shop and sell items on eBay. We have
extended our shop opening hours.
We also have a Remembrance Tree in the Centre of Hope and it is a wonderful area
for our residents to come and remember their loved ones- the tree has leaves and
each leaf can be personalised and placed on the tree.
Themed events have slarted and have been taking place throughout the year and
during half term for families we had Arts and Crafts at Easter and at Christmas
Father Christmas visits the shop giving out toys. We also have a summer fair.
Financial Review
Looking ahead at outgoings for 2023 it is likely that demand will increase, and
funding grants will be in high demand due to the economic situation.
The charity is now well established. Working partnerships with our GP and
healthcare providers have created a fast and effective referrals system which in turn
enables us to access and assist the client early in theirjourney. We must be mindful
that grants are restricted and limited and so the Charity is using its shop and the
recourses it already has to enable us to be self-sufficient and non-reliant on grants.
We are looking into business sponsorships and partnership for funds. We are also
looking at making our own products and selling our courses and expertise across the
partnerships.
The charity's policy on reserves
Since, apart from shop income, the charity's income consists of grants and donations
none of which are guaranteed, and may vary from year to year, and against the
background of a growing client base, our policy is to maintain reserves where
possible against future need, with a minimum target of three months outgoing
expenses. There is no upper limit set because it is unlikely that reserves will
substantially exceed future need.
