NEURO THERAPY CENTRE LIMITED CHAIR'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 It has been an extraordinary year at the Centre with so many positive developments ranging from the work around Ihe new units next door to the existing Centre building through to the expansion of our services with extended opening hour5 on some days and an increase in the number of Members using the services together with Carers. The full list of activitl8s and achievements is detailed in the Directors. Report. I think it highlights the steps and initiatives undertaken to broaden the range of services and activities available and widen access to them. This includes, as an example, recruiting new staff to support the gym and counselling s8rvic&s which we've been able to do following successful fundraising. We're thinking ahead to the time when the new building is open and we can deliver more services in that space, notably the gym, but also Ihe physio and general therapies area. Once Ihe gym h85 moved from its existing space it will then be possible to reconfigure the current counselling area: as you can tell, there is a lol of hard work already underway to plan and implement major changes to the delivery of our therapies and services. It's intended to make this as Smooth as possible with the outcome being one Cenlre in two closely linked buildings, including a planned covered walkway, or canopy, if funds can be raised and consents oblained. The lynch pin and beating heart of the Centre will still be the cafè space but it will be redesigned and refreshed to provide a great place lo meet, talk and relax but also somewhere providing a place for peace and quiet. Looking ahead, ideally we would like to move onto the refurbishment of the existing building as soon as possible but we need to raise the money first. I know it can be done, as shown through the fundraising campaign for the new building, but it lakes time and a lol of hard work., we have been very fortunate to have received support from a wide range of donors, especially four local and regional charitable Irusts without whom the work on the first phase would have taken much longer. Turning to the financial outcomes to 31st March 2024, we have achieved a surplus ofjusl over £50.6k12023 surplus £72.5k). This is a good outcome and reflects the success of the campaign to raise funds for the new building and some ef the associaled costs as well as income streams and donations to cover our day to day service delivery but I have to caveat this with the outlook for what is now the current year 2024125. There have been considerable challenges along the way and some of these. notably the financlal headwinds we face raising the all important day to day funding needed to maintain services and pay our way, remain a key objective and concern. Although inflation is now at a substantially lower level compar8d with the same period last year the costs to run the Centre continue to increase. The Trustees are also very aware of the impact of the cost of living on our staff and our Members. It is also important to look al the external employment context with the impact of the rise in the Real Living Wage rale and the need to remain competitive with the NHS pay band scales. As a consequence, the Trustees have taken the decislon to raise salaries for 2023124. rellecting these factors which add considerably to the overall costs of running the Cenlre and, to maintain 5UStainability, is somelhing we can't afford to do at the same level again in the coming years. This will be a financially challenging year in 2024125 with anlicipaled expenditure of £809k. Funding is light for day to day running costs and our general reseNes are below the level we should be aiming lo achieve (see Reserves Policy and Going Concern Statemenl in the Report & Accounts below). It is always difficult at the slart of Ihe financial year to be more precise but we need to concenlrate on fundraising fr)r our existing and expanding services from as wide a range of sources as possible. The capital campaign has been a succe55 to date but additional fund5 are needed to undertake the work on the refurbishment of the existing building., this fundraising will continue but the main focus now has to be covering the operational costs of the Cenlre and improve cash levels to rne8t that expenditure. Our fundraising largel to match expenditure at 1st April, in addilion to known income, was around £300k and I'm pleased to report. as I write. that steady progress is being made to work towards this figure. l am very grateful for all the support provid8d by fellow Trustees over the past year and I want to thank Michael Robinson who, as Treasurer, has provided invaluable help over the past 4 years, but he resigned earlier this year due lo his increased work commitments. Other Trustees have provided their skills and time dealing wilh the plans for the new building- guidance on structuring and adapting to service delivery growth in the expanded Centre., and providing a listening ear, not just for me but also for senior management and staff. As ever, grateful thanks go to all our staff and the volunteers for all their hard work, commitment and cheerful way of helping Members, Carers and visitors. I need to mention one person who has just retired at the end of June- Katie Roebuck, our lead fundraiser without whom much of what we've achieved and planned for would have proved so much more difficult.
NEURO THERAPY CENTRE LIMITED CHAIR'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Finally, but far from least, thanks must go to our Members for all your support. encouragement and understanding, especially at a time of change, exciting though thal is. You play such an important role not only as users of the setvices available lo you but also as ambassadors, telling the outside world what the Neuro Therapy Centre does. what it means to you and why it is such a special place. It's an exciting year ahead, despite the challenges, with a lot to look fOard to. Chair Dated.. •- 102Lfr-

This is reviewed regularly by management and Trustees to check we are on track in terms of service delivery, our financial health including fund raising, and corporate governance. Annual Survey. We aim to ask our members their vlews about service delivery, at works for them, or nol, and ideas on how to improve our provision. It helps to highlight the m8in areas of interest and concerns our members might have and how w8 could address these issues. Testimonials and Case Studies. These help us to understand where our services and their delivery have gone well but also what lessons can be learned about improving those services and focusing on what members want. both PIWNC and Carers. Anecdotal evidence and video story-telling helps to underpin the messages received from all the above but can also highlight areas where further research and information gathering might be needed, for example, to support new initiatives around services offered. Monltoring reports to statutory bodies provides hard evidence of the levels of work undertaken. its quality and Impact on the users of our services.

The majority of the funding has been raised through links with local charitable Trust5 and Foundations Redevelopment of the new unit next door increases our ability to deliver more services and grow our footprint by 45¢ creating a dedicated exercise hub. This will allow greater use of the gym with new equipment and result in the delivery of more bespoke exercise plans We have now completed our first year of the Access to Exercise and Wellbeing Project {AtoE&W). This Involves collaborative working with project partners in order to reduce health inequalities and increase access to exercise and wellbeing opportunities across West Cheshire and South Liverpool Importantly the project aims lo reach groups who are hard to reach, and by working with partners such as Brio Lelsure, Greenbank Academy and the Brain Charity hopes to increase exercise opportunities for those who oflen feel excluded. This has been supported by additional in-house and exlernal inolusivity and diversity training Part of the project utilises a FES cycle to assess the difference it makes to functional activities for people with a neurological condition. This is something that has Iraditionally only been available to people following spinal cord injuries, and has not widely been used by people living with degenerative neurological conditions. Over the last 12 months we have seen 25 people use it, ané early indications are that it can make a demonslrable difference to people's physical ability. The outcomes will be evaluated by Sheffield Hallam University as part of ourAloE&W project We have increased counselling service5 to accommodate increased demand and respond to interest to expand the service through a range of creative arts programmes Use of social media allows peopl& to interact wilh each other and to access informalion outside ol normal Working hours connecting people with similar experiences. empowering them to share and take control of their condition Our online support also extends to our website which is accessible to all and provldes a wealth of information.

The majority of the money raised has been donaled by 4 local trusts who were already familiar wilh the work thal we do. These donations have allowed us to complete the building works and create gym which is three times the size of our existing one. A new physio studio has also been created along with tfeatment rooms for 1..1 sessions. The equipment to furnish the new gym has r8quired additional funding aF)plications so that we can cr@ate a facility where we will be able lo challenge our users whatever their physical ability. We will then embark on a programme to develop our existing site in order to accommodate a larger thunselling area and coffee room for the benefit of our members. Increased space will require increased resources to meet the demand 8nd we have a planned recruitment programme to run in tandem with the refurbishment. In order to succeed with these plans. we have also invested in the fundraising and marketing team, to give them greater capacity to reach new markets and to achieve an ambitious fundraising target. We have successfully, and safely transitioned from restricted face to face services to pr&pandemic service delivery levels, and have introduced a wider choice of services through use of our website to host virtual sessions, and through expanded opening hours. Retaining virtual delivery methods as a core service helps us lo engage better with those who are unable to attend the Centre itself, whether it's through the impacl of their condition, travel constraints or financial constraints. It has also enabled us to look at new markets and through our AtoEW work will s88 us increase the number of people who are accessing virtual services through partnership working (and the rolling out of an Organisational membership category). Our slaff have had to adapt over the last few years and V have developed a blended way of working which offers more flexibility for some roles and has resulted in more efficient use of existing systems to enable us to make informed decisions based on evidence. This in turn gives us better insight and drives efficienc4es so that we can operate more effectively, and respond to change, putting us in a stronger posilion to be able to focus more on planned gr0h. 10-
NEURO THERAPY CENTRE LIMITED TRUSTEES, REPORT {INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Flnanclal revlew The Trustees are committed to protecting and managing our financial resources in an effective and tfansparent way. In order to achieve this, we aim lo main18in a reserve level of at least 6 monlhs of our budgeled annual expenditure. The reserve level is considered to be the total of free unrestricted reserves plLJS any restricted income covering salaries and other operating costs that has already been received. The Trustees regularly review this policy and the level achieved to ensure that it remains approprlate. For clarity the reserves level does not include unrestricted funds allocated to fixed assets. nor does it include designated funds set aside by the Trustees to meet future projects that could not be funded from future income. The reserve8 are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that they ar8 being managed in accordance with what is agreed and Ihis is regularly reported to the Board of Trustees. If it is deemed that there will be an on-going failure to meet the reserves target then a plan will be drawn up to develop new sources of income or cut back on related expenditure. Our budget for the coming year ending 31 March 2025 has expenditure of £809,058 {2024.' £666,076). Our fre8 reserves at 31 March 2024 were £188,244 (2023.. £196.730). In addilion to this, £100,097 12023.. £65,017) of the restricted funds total of £245,267 (2023.. £127,528) will contribute to the budget8d expenditure. Restricted funds also include £54,168 (2023.. £Nil) associated to the expansion project. The total contribution towards next years budgeted expenditure is £288,321 (2023.. £261,747), which equates to 4.2 months (2023.. 4.7 months). The Trustees are always aware that the budget Set for 8ach year presents its own set of challenges. Budgeted expenditure has been calculated, and throughout the year, the fundraising team work through the task of sourcing the n8C8ssary funding to meel bolh anticipated and unforeseen costs. Some cosls. such as servlce delivery employment expenditure. are potentially easier to fund through bid applications to relevant Trusts and Foundatlons although success cannot be guaranteed. It is more difficult to obtain unreslricted grants and funds which would help cover the costs of general administration and fixed overheads,, these are generally covered by income generated from sponsored fundraising events, member donations. café sales, legacies and any other form of unrestricted cash. Every year it is so important for us to find and secure new funding sources but also maintain and reconnect our links with pasl donors to seek their continued support. Our expanded fun(kaising team has enabled us lo do exactly that. developing and tapping into new income sources and building up the profile of the Centre within the wider community both locally and the broader geographical area we serve. By cultivating a diverse range of funding streams that are consistently sustained, we can ensur8 Ihe Centie's long-lerm viability, The annual budget is designed to facilitate investment and maintain an exceptional level of sel¢e to our members, encompassing both the physical and virtual offerings. It is never certain what income we will receive nor vthal unexpected costs could be around the corrEr. Therefor&, the finance team, finance committee. and Trustees monitor the financial position on a regu18r basis, enabling decisions to use and safeguard available funds. The Trustees acknowledge that the Neuro Therapy Centre has fallen short of meeting the minimum reserves level outlined in its own policy in recent years. Attaining this minimum reserves threshold remains a long-term objective for the Trustees. as we strive to fortify the Cenlre's financial stability. Our reslricled funds, standing at £245,267 {2023= £127,528), are subject to specific conditions required by the donor or by the specific terms of the appeal which generated the funds. These funds ar& applied as soon as practicable, as shown in the movement of restricted income during the year. Our designated funds have decreased to £20,000 (2023-. £122,481). The medium to longer term strategy of the Centr8 has been to improve our propeTty facilities, enhance our current seice provision and develop services further. Funds received from a legacy a number of years ago had been designated by Trustees for the future development of the Centre. At the end of 2022 the Trustees approved the use of up to £80,000 to begin the renovation work required on the building unit adjacent to the existing Centre as part of our expansion project. The amount of designated funds used by the end of the first phase of work totalled £58,338 and, as the main purpose for the designated fund had been achieved.

NEURO THERAPY CENTRE LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Accounting policies Charlty Informatlon Neuro Therapy Centre Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit C4 Brymau One Estate. Rtver Lane. Saltney, Chester, CH4 8RG. 1.1 Accountlng convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practlce 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)" The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financi81 statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 1.2 Golng concern The Trustees have reviewed the initial budget forecasts for the 2024125 financial year, which predicts another significant fundraising target for the coming year. It 15 Customary for the Neuro Therapy Centre to anticipate a projected gap between expenditure and known income at the beginning of Ihe financial year. The shortfall between projected income and expenditure has hislorically been covered through fundraising efforts plus additional trust and grant applications, although this can never be guaranteed. A comprehensive plan is always in place to actively pursue various sources of income throughout the year, contributing towards achieving funding the budget set for the year. The primary risk that the Centre has encountered and continues to face is the potential loss of income from the ServIS it provides. Ultimately, the risk is that a service will be committed to be provided but a way lo fund that service is not found. To mitigate that risk, the Centre continuously strives to secure funding from a wide range of sources while always moniloiing and managing costs. The services provided are free of cost when provided, but the actual cost of providing Ihe seNice and suggested donations are always highlighted within the Centre and in marketing materials. In addition to the usual budget for the ongoing operation of the Centre, the project to increase the service provision and capacity of the Centre continues. This includes the expansion of the ftoor space occupied. As a result, separate budget5 are being kept to ensure that appropriate funding can be obtained. There is a risk that funding could not be found to complete this project as intended and to mitigate any financial risk the project is being implemented in stages with continuous review. The first phase of work within the building providing the expanded floor space has been fully funded and completed end June 2024. The next stage of the project, lh8 existing Centre floor space. remains al risk if funding cannot be found. The Trustees and the sub finance group continue to meet regularly throughout the year lo carefully monitor the financial position of the Centre and seek outside advice as and when required. In r8aching their conclusion, the Trustees have reviewed the charity's monthly cash fflows. applied sensitivity analyses as appropriate, and considered the possibility of longer-term funding sources including inter year grants and legacies. As a result of the actions tsken and after consideration of all factors. the Trustees consider that no material uncertainty exists and they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 1.3 Charltable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in fvrtherance of their charitable objectives. -20-
