## **TRUSTEES' REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **CHAIRPERSON'S STATEMENT** 

The past year has seen us continue to deliver the existing services that have been going well, both at Brunner Hall and in the community with positive feedback from clients. It has been great to see the team bring in some new activities for Brunner Hall clients that provide the opportunity to develop new skills. 

A particular highlight of the year has been the increase in community events that allow us to raise the profile of the impact of brain injury and the experiences of our clients to existing supporters and new connections. The art exhibitions in Henley and Reading provided the opportunity to showcase artwork inspired by the nature and impact of brain injury and also the support provided by Headway Thames Valley. We also were hosted by a local film society for a showing of a film related to brain injury accompanied by clients describing their own experience and the chance for attendees to ask questions. 

We have continued to operate thanks to continued support from our fundraisers and successful grant and trust applications. As a result we go into this year with the ability to consider where we can expand services in order to support more people impacted by brain injury in our area. 

Huge thanks to all our supporters and those working and volunteering for Headway Thames Valley. 

………………………………………………. Tom Satterthwaite Tomlt 

Chair to the Board of Trustees 

## **GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT** 

Stability has been our primary focus over the previous couple of years but over the last 12 months it has been nice to reengage with the community a bit more and expand our services. 

Our ‘Living with Brain Injury’ exhibition has undoubtedly been one of our highlights of the year. Clients, carers and professionals working in neuro-rehab created sculptures, paintings and poetry illustrating brain injury. Held over a four week period at a local gallery, hundreds of members of the general public witnessed the incredible art while also learning a great deal about brain injury and Headway Thames Valley. Our clients, in particular, were very proud to receive some amazing feedback on their pieces. 

Introducing new skills to some of our longer serving clients can often be challenging but after a number of consultation sessions, we have been able to expand our offering at our Centre in Henley. Our cooking course and drama workshop in particular, were very well received. Not only did we see new skills develop but perhaps more importantly, we saw a huge boost in our client’s confidence. 

We haven’t deviated from our main goal of supporting as many families impacted by brain injury as we possibly can while being financially prudent. I’m extremely proud that we have seen steady growth in referral numbers and have finished the year breaking even, ensuring that we go into next year with strong foundations. 

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who continues to support Headway Thames Valley each year, including our amazing staff, trustees, volunteers, clients, and supporters.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(cont'd)**_ **For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The organisation is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8th June 1990 and registered as a charity on 12th July 1990. The charitable company was established under a Memorandum  of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. 

## **Directors/Trustees Induction and Training** 

Most directors/trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity, having either a personal involvement or a long-time investment in what it does. Additionally, new directors/trustees are invited and encouraged to attend training sessions offered to familiarise themselves with the charity and how it operates. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

Headway Thames Valley has a Management Committee which meets at least 8 times a year and is responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. During the year there were 6 Trustees from a variety of backgrounds relevant to the work of the charitable company. A scheme of delegation is in place, and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services at the Resource Centre rests with the General Manager.

Since 1979 the organisation has increased from one steering committee to over 120 groups and branches throughout the UK. Headway UK is run by its members headed by a Board of Trusteesand staff at a Nottingham office and a London office. 

Although affiliated to Headway UK and required to pay an affiliation fee, Headway Thames Valley is run entirely independently of Headway UK. However, through the various departments which make up the organisation, Headway Thames Valley gains valuable support and assistance (though not financial) from the national organisation. 

## **Risk Assessment**

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting  Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject  to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare  the financial statements  on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate  to presume that the Company will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that  are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and 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. 

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose.

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

- Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charitable company where this can be quantified.The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these financial statements as it is too difficult to quantify this value with reasonable accuracy. 

- 

   - Investment income is included when receivable. 

- Income from charitable activities relate to grants, these are recorded when the charitable company becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

## d) **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** 

## e) **Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Fixed assets for charity use are capitalised at cost, when acquired, or market value as determined by the directors/trustees where donated. They are stated in the financial statements at original cost/value less depreciation. Fixed assets are not capitalised if the cost is less than £500. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives. 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

Leasehold improvements -  25% reducing balance Minibus -  25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings -  20% reducing balance Computer equipment -  3 years straight line 

- f) **Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced  payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate  of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## k) **Pensions**
