What does Brain Injury Mean? |
There are no certainties or 'one size fits all' approaches in the field of brain injury. Whilst some people do have physical disabilities meaning they are reliant on wheelchairs or walkers, every one of our clients struggles with profound cognitive disability. By the nature of this invisible disability, on arriving at Headway Nottingham people often find that their relationships with family are strained, friendship groups have fallen away and they may have lost the ability to plan and execute straightforward tasks independently. Long and short term memory loss is invariably a difficult area for most, potentially making them vulnerable in terms of safety in the home and community, and causing profound upset for many with the feeling that they simply don't know who they are any longer. This can mean that without intensive support, the individual and their families can experience spiralling debt, housing insecurity and experience exclusion from their communities. |
Behaviourally, clients frequently struggle with impulsive behaviour and disinhibition, struggle to manage their mood and as a result can be alienated from their support networks. The effects of brain injury can reach into every part of someone's life and take way everything that they knew about themselves prior to their injury. The disproportionate amount of depression, anxiety and family breakdown experienced in those with brain injuries demonstrates the urgent need for Headway Nottingham to provide accessible therapeutic processes to improve quality of life for clients and their families. |
Brain Injury in the UK |
Every 90 seconds someone is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury related illness -this could be from a head injury, stroke or other cause. |
Comparison - "Every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer."** |
There were 356,699 UK admissions to hospital with acquired brain injury in 2019-20. That is 534 admissions per 100,000 of the population. |
[**Cancer Research UK, https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-statistics/incidence, Accessed June 2022.] |
Headway Nottingham shares it's Nottingham roots with national charity, Headway - the brain injury association, who's UK-wide services include an invaluable information Helpline, downloadable web-based information on the effects of brain injury and nationwide campaigning to highlight the prevalence and significance of disabilities resulting from brain injury. This more generalised support complements the work of Headway Nottingham and aids some local residents to find our day centre for their person-centred, long term rehabilitation. Headway Nottingham remains a separate charity to its national neighbour, with responsibility for its own strategic direction, governance and fundraising. |

Brain Injury in Nottingham |
Headway Nottingham operates on the doorstep of one of the UK's foremost Major Trauma Centres at Nottingham Queens Medical Centre. As a result, this incredible medical care sees local survival rates following brain injury ever-increasing. In fact, The Neuro Trauma Service based in Nottingham reported a 20% reduced mortality rate in 2021. As our clients often report though, long term support for the profound and potentially devastating disabilities resulting from brain injury is severely lacking. Headway Nottingham continues to be the only brain injury specific service available without time limitations in the area. |
In 2019-20 Nottingham city and county saw 4,721 admissions to hospital as a result of an acquired brain injury. This is a rise of nearly 10% from levels in 2016/17. 1,530 (32.4%) of these injuries were as a result of Stroke.* |
Headway Nottingham supports and represents people living throughout Nottingham city and Nottinghamshire county - a vast geographical remit for our small charity. Our catchment area is diverse in terms of affluence and does include areas included in the National Indices of Deprivation. As a result, many of our clients experience multiple and complex deprivation in addition to the disabilities they experience following brain injury. |
The majority of Headway Nottingham's clients are not supported by any other organisation. This is representative of the likelihood of people living with brain injuries slipping 'through the net' of available support as well as a wider failure of national services to recognise and acknowledge the nature of brain injury as distinct from other types of disadvantage. With pressure from Headway and other concerned organisations the government has now formally announced plans to develop a cross departmental strategy on acquired brain injury. This aims to improve the provision of services by local authorities, NHS, Department for Education, Ministry of Defence, Prison Service, DWP and The Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. We sincerely hope to see an improved pathway for local people with brain injuries as a result. |
70% of Headway Nottingham clients express that they worry about managing finances, with a potentially devastating effect on the health and wellbeing of the individual and their families. |
98.5% of Headway Nottingham's clients are long term unemployed due to their disability. |
72% of our Outreach clients received our help with their welfare/benefits provision. |

Achievements |
"[My brain injury has] made life very confusing…..Headway has helped a great deal in that respect. I owe everything to them". |
John - Headway Nottingham Service User |
We've enjoyed our first full year of our building-based face-to-face day service since the covid pandemic eased. Though we were still operating under some covid related regulations the year saw 72 people benefitting from the day service provision and thoroughly enjoying being with each other in person, sharing the lived experience so valuable to those feeling so alone after brain injury strikes. We saw a staggering 2802 individual attendances at the centre during the year, a number not seen since before the pandemic. Our activity timetable in the centre over the year provided much-valued person-centred and life-improving rehabilitation through a wide range of engaging, practical workshops, all designed to support with skills and confidence rebuilding whilst establishing an appropriate level of safe independence for each person. |
At the centre, each person is celebrated for their achievements and abilities and supported to live positively without feeling limited or defined by their disabilities. We are proud to have seen 2254 individual attendances at 8 different types of rehabilitation workshops over the course of the year. |
Workshops delivered include: |
- Functional skills - English and Maths |
- Singing for Wellbeing, specifically therapeutic use of singing for improvements in memory, vocal expression, tonal matching and pleasure. |
- Creative Writing, consistently popular with clients, all of whom take tremendous steps forward with their confidence to express themselves in written form, then share their work aloud with the group. Sessions improve written skills, speed up coherent thought processing and demonstrate to the individual that their thoughts, feelings and creations are valuable and important. |
- Therapeutic Textiles, working on individual textile related projects to improve manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, planning and organisation and a sense of achievement. |
- Indoor Bowls, a collaboration with researchers at Sheffield Hallam University to understand how this inclusive physical activity can improve balance and coordination, dexterity, physical fitness and mobility while also encouraging gentle competition and a sense of fun. |
Our small staff team of 6 worked extremely hard this year, and volunteer helpers were slowly re-introduced post covid. |
Casework Service in the Community and Welfare Support: |
Headway Nottingham's Outreach service continued to provide an invaluable support for local people beginning their rehabilitative journey through the day centre and referrals into the service averaged at 4.8 per month with 58 over the year. |
Headway Nottingham's Outreach provided 1360 information and telephone support interventions, with an approximate additional 54 benefits-related interventions and applications completed on behalf of clients. The Caseworker maintained a 100% success rate in securing appropriate financial awards for clients, ensuring their medium -term financial stability, whilst also attending and advocating at tribunals, medical assessments and award assessments. |

FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Review of the year |
Headway Nottingham and the Local Brain Injury Landscape |
The biggest challenge for people with brain injuries throughout Nottingham and Nottinghamshire continues to be accessing appropriate, long term cognitive and physical rehabilitation and emotional support. For many people, the pathway to accessing brain injury specific support is unclear and too often left to luck as to whether they are referred to Headway Nottingham. Coupled with this, an ever-tightening public purse increases barriers to support as subsidised transport is cut dramatically (leaving many unable to attend due to geography) and contributions of statutory funding reduce per person, sometimes to pence per day. Work during this year has seen us develop better relationships with our colleagues in the NHS services working with brain injury patients and has increased our referrals from those professional clinicians who now know more about what we can do to support their patients post-discharge. |
The reduction in statutory funding is reflected in our accounts this year, and we recognise that this situation is unlikely to change in the near future. Therefore, we are concentrating our efforts on attracting funding from other sources to enable us to maintain and develop the services which have proved so valuable to our service users over the years. |
Headway Nottingham continues to evolve strategic direction to maximise attendances and benefit to clients, whilst matching potential funders to appropriate and essential elements of the service. The development and review of our three-year business plan aims to help give us very clear direction in this regard and is proving helpful in our aim of becoming a more sustainable organisation in the next three years. Much work this year has been done in the background to develop ideas for new initiatives that will reach even more people living with the effects of brain injury while providing a more stable income for the charity. |
Headway Nottingham continue to find cost-saving initiatives wherever possible, however no impact of these measures has been felt by clients, which is testament to the charity's dedicated, professional and supportive team. Their vast practical experience of brain injury and their knowledge of clients, coupled with the invaluable support of our funders is the reason Headway Nottingham remains a vital lifeline to many local people, their families and carers, who otherwise often feel marginalised and misunderstood in their communities. |

FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves & investment policy |
Last year Headway Nottingham was pleased that we had managed to negotiate the pandemic without denting our operational reserve. Unfortunately, our post pandemic euphoria has been somewhat reduced as it became clear that the joy of operating without social restrictions would be countered by the difficulties associated with a cost-of-living crisis. We are proud to have navigated such tumultuous times, adapting so quickly to what was happening in the world, but it has meant that our operational reserve has diminished and now stands at £44,000. |
Therefore, a key objective for the trustees this year is the continued work of keeping our business and contingency plans under constant review, making timely changes where necessary in order to remain financially responsible during the uncertain times ahead. We are hopeful that the implementation of new business plans in the coming year will see us begin to turn the tide and set us in good stead for achieving a surplus in the next two years. We realise that we have some hard work in store, however we are sure that we are moving towards a more sustainable Headway Nottingham that can continue to provide its crucial local brain injury services as we move into the years ahead. |
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit. |
The company has a policy of keeping any surplus liquid funds in short term deposits which can be accessed readily should the need arise. |

The Trustees are fully aware of the uncertainty caused by the covid pandemic and the current cost of living crisis. As explained in the Trustees Report, the charity has adapted quickly but are aware the operational reserve has diminished to £44k.

Fund account details |
Each restricted and designated fund has sufficient resources to enable the fund to be applied in accordance with the restrictions imposed. |
(i) The operational reserve was established as a designated fund to ensure that the charity would be able to meet expenditure commitments (salaries and Tax) for at least three months. |
(ii) Groundworks Garden Project Successful application to Onestop Groundworks to pay for a horticulture project here in the Headway Nottingham garden, led by a volunteer landscape architect and executed by our service users. The grant pays for installation of garden features such as willow pods, composters, bug hotels and planting of wild flowers along with the tools and equipment needed to deliver the project. This project has enhanced the centre garden, creating a welcoming and peaceful outdoor space for our service users whilst giving them the opportunity to build that space and take ownership of the project. |
(iii) Mansfield Building Society. This money was awarded to aid the purchase of specialist Aphasia software for us to use in the centre with the clients who struggle with word finding post brain injury. It will offer significant ongoing support for those people living with aphasia in the Headway Nottingham Service. |
(iv) Skipton Building Society. This fund was donated to help towards the cost of Nordic Walking sessions delivered by professional instructors here at Headway Nottingham. Nordic walking exercises every muscle group of the body whilst also improving balance and coordination, stamina and general fitness levels for those who are unable to access exercise facilities away from the centre. |

(v) Local Improvement Scheme. This is an award to pay for the majority of our Outreach work in the County of Nottinghamshire over the course of three years. Our Outreach worker delivers support, advice and advocacy services to County residents who are living with difficulties post brain injury. This may include welfare and benefits support, employer liaison, tribunal representation, tenancy and debt advice and help through social services assessments for funding to attend the day service. |
(vi) Beeston and District Round Table. Beeston and District Round Table have taken a keen interest in our recently published anthology "Making Headway", a collection of stories written by our clients. This fund has been donated to facilitate a new print run of the book, and its publication as an eBook in collaboration with Giltbrook Workwear and Stratstone Landrover. |
(vii) Reg Adair - Councillor. This award of funds comes from Nottinghamshire County Councillor Reg Adair's allocated Divisional fund for community support. Specifically designated to pay for two tablets for use in the centre, and art supplies needed for our therapeutic art workshops. |
(viii) Thoresby Charity. This is an award given by Thoresby Charity to use towards the cost of our Creative Writing sessions. Creative writing helps our client base to express their thoughts and feelings in a productive way whilst also improving vocabulary, fine motor skills and sense of ability. |
(ix) Music Therapy Fund in Memory of Bev Savage. This fund was collected in remembrance of a client who used the service for many years and benefitted hugely from the music therapy he received. Those who donated wish to help support that therapy going forward for other people affected by brain injury. |
(x) BADTh. In awarding this fund the BADTh Charity have secured the novel use of drama therapy as a tool to help those struggling with the effects of brain injury. A qualified drama therapist works both in a group setting and one-to-one with clients with the aim of improving their emotional and mental health. The use of drama techniques to explore new behaviours, feelings and thoughts connected to the trauma of experiencing change after brain injury is an evolving field but one that shows extremely positive results for those involved. This innovation was featured in the Neuro Rehab Times online publication. |
(xi) Ken Bird Donation. A very generous donation from a valued and long-standing volunteer with a wish that it be used to provide activity workshops and sessions directly benefiting our Day Centre users. With first hand experience of these sessions and their impact, our donor wishes this work to continue to bring increased wellbeing and confidence to the clients. |
(xii) Nottingham City Council Workforce Retention Fund. A central government initiative handed to local authorities to disperse among social care providers with a view to help the health and social care staffing crisis. Can be used for anything that increases the chances of staff retention including pay rises, staff training, incentives etc. |
(xiii) Arnold Clark This money has been given to help fund our Therapeutic Textiles Workshop. This workshop helps members to plan, sequence, and execute project work whilst simultaneously working on practising fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination and building confidence through achievement |
. |
(xiv) Blakemore Foundation A contribution towards the costs of providing workshops and activities for our members so that they may improve their insight, re-learn lost skills, find new talents and increase feelings of wellbeing and self-worth. |
(xv) Anonymous. A donation specifically to fund activities was kindly received from a donor who wished to publicly remain anonymous. |
(xvi) The Souter Charitable Trust A donation specifically to fund a year of Singing for Wellbeing workshops. Singing itself is not only fun, but can help to improve lung function, rhythm, sequencing, memory and a sense of improved wellbeing. Being a part of group to sing also helps to reduce feelings of isolation and improves feelings of connection with others. |
(xvii) The Prince of Wales's Charitable Fund Funding to implement our "Mind Over Mood" project, including guided mindfulness sessions and 1-1 reflexology for our members. For those struggling with over-stimulation, stress and the difficulties associated with their brain injury a series of reflexology can work wonders to aid relaxation, restful sleep and increase feelings of wellbeing. |
