## **Achievements and Performance**

|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**The charity gained momentum in 2022,**
**by the end of the year. Initial pathways**
**for recovery developed in 2019 – 21,**
**with Brynawel Rehab continued.**
**For the first half of the year there was**
**one person using the services offered**
**by ‘Healics Recovery’. This person**
**gained confidence and skills throughout**
**the year and one notable achievement**
**was their volunteering for the Salvation**
**Army.**
**In July the recoveree was joined by a**
**second person who continued to use**
**Healics up to Christmas and beyond.**
**This person also benefitted from the**
**services offered by the charity and**
**began to reintegrate with the wider**
**community finding some ad-hoc work**
**as an upholsterer for another charity.**
**In November Healics made an exception**
**to its charter in allowing two women to**
**use the service. The original mission**
**statement of Healics exclusively offered**
**the space to males recognising that**
**men and women need different support**
**and expertise during their recovery**
**journey.**
**The two women came through the**
**Brynawel referral and were described as**
**emergency cases. As a result it was felt**
**that in these cases exceptions should**
**be made. Unfortunately, this situation**
**did not work out and one of the women**
**left soon after recognising that she**
**required further support that Healics**
**Recovery could not provide.**
**At the end of 2022 there were still 3**|
**people using Healics Recovery services each making individual progress on their recovery journey.**

## **Financial Review**
|**Financial Review**|||
|---|---|---|
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|**The charity started the period with**
**£8465. It continued to grow during the**
**year taking regular payments for the**
**recoverees housed over the year. The**
**financial period ended with £20441 in**
**the account. This includes money taken**
**out to make substantial repairs to the**
**boiling and heating system following a**
**leak discovered in the summer of 2022.**|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|**Between 2021 and 2022, and noting the**
**successes of Healics Recovery, the**
**reserve was increased from £3000 to**
**£12000.**
**It is noted that the plumbing costs alone**
**in 2022 were £3150, greater than the**
**reserve held in 2021. It is also**
**highlighted that increases to rates for**
**utilities and council tax occurred during**
**the period and therefore an increase to**
**the reserves was warranted.**
**It was always the aim of the charity to**
**ensure that sufficient reserves were**
**held to cover maintenance and repairs**
**to Healics Revovery House and the**
**positive financial situation for Healics**
**has allowed this during 2022.**|
