TOGETHER DEMENTIA SUPPORT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09196411)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objective of Together Dementia Support ("TDS") is the relief of people who are living with dementia, including their families and carers.

Our Vision
Everyone living with dementia and their carers have access to support, friendship, stimulating activities, and has their voice heard.

Our Purpose
To improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their carers in Manchester and Trafford, through the provision of high-quality activities and opportunities for friendship and mutual support.

To amplify the voice of people living with dementia and carers, and showcase their talents, enabling them to participate in research and influence the provision of dementia services and care in Manchester and beyond.

To increase awareness and understanding of dementia and reduce stigma, through information provision, training and developing a growing community of volunteers.

To work with our partners, using our collective expertise to improve services and support for people living with dementia and their carers.

Public benefit
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Beneficiaries of our services
In July 2022 we had 547 service users but by the end of the financial year the number had grown to 617 (279 people living with dementia and 338 carers), approximately a 13% increase. 40% of our service users are of black and south Asian ethnicities. Our beneficiaries mostly live across all neighbourhoods of Manchester and north Trafford although some carers live a distance way.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Together Dementia Support has managed to grow a little over the last year despite financial uncertainty and redundancies halfway through the year. We have had no other staff changes except amongst our team of self-employed drivers. The overall number of volunteers who volunteer their time continues to grow and we have almost 100 active volunteers.

We ran a hugely successful Annual Showcase Event in July 2022 with a great attendance of members of the community, families and professionals. It gave an opportunity for people living with dementia to tell their stories, and for carers and volunteers to do the same. There were refreshments and activities for all the family - a percussion workshop, accessible tricycles to pedal, singing with the Gospel Choir, and reminiscence sessions. It was a huge team effort from the TDS staff and volunteers but showed the breadth of activities and support that TDS gives and the way that we work in partnership with our members - experts by experience!

We secured three years of funding to secure and develop the Together @ Home service that we had been piloting and so the service started in October. The service meant that we could start to offer one:one support to people in their own homes or communities. This project is ideal for people who can't cope in a busy group, whose personal care or mobility needs are too high for a group, or who want additional activity from us. The service has meant a greater need for confident, well-trained volunteers and close support for them and the support worker who are all lone workers. Our volunteer co-ordinators have stepped up to this task very well. This work has also revealed more safeguarding issues, because of working with isolated people at home, and so has needed skilled management and inter-disciplinary work.

We have maintained all our weekly and monthly groups for people living with dementia and secured bigger venues for both our North and South Manchester Friendship & Activity Groups so that the numbers attending could grow and the space would allow for more physical activities. Attendance at our monthly Dementia Cafes has also grown and we've needed to invest in more staff and volunteer input to run these well. Carers clearly enjoy the peer support, the massage appointments, and for some it's a good place that they can go to with their relative who has dementia. We also run a Carer Wellbeing session for our Pyaari Yaadein carers every quarter and want to grow that service.

Three TDS staff presented our neighbourhood-based work at the UK Dementia Congress in November 2022 where it was well received and our CEO was invited to speak on BBC 'Good Morning' TV show in March about how families can keep people with dementia active and engaged.

Carers also benefitted from a small fund (the Big Brain Health fund) that allowed us to run walks, in the evenings and at weekends, and also Tai Chi sessions. We wish to continue helping carers to take care of themselves and to teach people about good brain health and how it might prevent or delay dementia.

We started to deliver a new training course, 'Don't Stop Me Now!' which includes a podcast co-produced with members of our Fab Forgetful Friends Group. Those same members helped us to deliver the course across Trafford and their input, as always, was the favourite part of the training.

Trustees, volunteers and staff successfully ran 3 community fundraising events - a Gospel Choir concert, a Big Band concert and a Bikeathon (sponsored pedalling on a stationary bike). The two concerts were very well attended and appreciated by our loyal members and supporters.

The focus of our fundraising since January has been to purchase a new minibus as our people carrier vehicle has had a number of mechanical problems and isn't sufficiently accessible for many of our members. We've submitted a number of grants to fund a new vehicle and stepped up our fundraising generally, looking to increase our unrestricted income and so increase our financial resilience. This has been helped by gaining new trustees with skills in this area. We also hope to purchase a new CRM that will collect and collate fundraising information better than previously.

We were increasingly anxious in our first and second quarter about our finances as a number of one- year grants had come to an end and we had two medium-large grant decisions pending. Because we were unsuccessful with one application, we made the regrettable decision to go through a redundancy process, resulting in the loss of two part-time posts. We managed to avoid cuts to service delivery by staff taking on additional responsibilities and because of last minute additional funding preventing deeper cuts to staffing.


TOGETHER DEMENTIA SUPPORT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09196411)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

We are proud of the part that we have played over the year in bringing concerns about Manchester's dementia provision to the attention of decision makers. This culminated in MCC commissioning three VCSE organisations to form a Manchester Dementia Alliance to co-produce (with people affected by dementia) a 'Living Well With Dementia' plan for the city and a directory of services. This piece of work will be done by our CEO, with additional staff support. We are excited to be both delivering services and driving change and better provision.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The total income for the year was £476,839 (2021/22 was £325,927). Of this £243,458 related to project - restricted activities. Direct expenditure for the year was £424,768 (2021/22 £396,426). Most expenditure continued to be on staff salaries. The costs of providing services increased as the restrictions relating to Covid were reversed and we increased our support to carers.

A surplus of £52,071 was made in the year (2021/22 loss of £70,499). Total income was considerably higher than the previous year.

As at 30th June 2023 total funds were £172,370 of which £55,639 represented restricted funds.

Reserves policy
The charity's reserves policy aims to have 3 months of running costs in reserve.

The unrestricted reserves were £116,731 at 30 June 2023 and so our reserves exceeded the required level this year.

Plans for the future
The charity's highest priority is to increase our financial resilience to bring security to our service delivery. In order to do this we must invest further in fundraising and in particular, diversify our income streams. This will need a dedicated staff position to drive this and to market our charity to the public and to the corporate sector, whilst also seeking out opportunities for earned income. A likely partnership with a firm of solicitors who will do pro bono will-writing and LPA service, is one such initiative. We will seek more such partnerships.

We also still believe that Manchester should commission community-based dementia provision and aim to be in a strong position to tender for such an opportunity. As dementia prevalence continues to grow we need to be able to grow our staffing and range and capacity of services to meet that need. This requires us to be able to attract staff with strong skills and experience and also to train them in the knowledge required to provide information and advice to carers and work skilfully with people with dementia.

With a number of grants being for a single year we need to continue to secure more income from larger, multi-year grants or commissioning as well as more unrestricted income from earned income, business sponsorship, donations/legacies and community fundraising. We may also need to reduce our expenditure and delivery in the near future.

Feedback from service users tells us that many of them would like more Friendship & Activity sessions for their relatives or longer sessions but this would require greater personnel capacity and more transport provision which, in turn, might require a more commercially-driven model of support.

We believe our current model enables maximum reach, support, and involvement of all communities. However, it requires more secure funding to be able to deliver it all to a high quality.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.


TOGETHER DEMENTIA SUPPORT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09196411)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT continued

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30th August 2014 as a Community
Interest Company, amended its Articles of Association on 16th October 2018, and registered as a charity on 9th November 2018.

The objects and powers of the charitable company are set out in the amended Articles of Association and is governed under those same Articles of Association.

A board of trustees exists and their powers are governed by Articles of Association. There was new recruitment to the board this year which was carried out by advertising, interview and skills assessment. The new trustees were appointed for a period of 3 years.

The CEO is responsible for the day to day running and management of the charity with delegated powers that are set out in the job description and a formal Delegated Limits of Authority document. The CEO reports directly to the trustees and is supervised by the Chair of Trustees.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 30th June 2023 was 8. The trustees are the members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 to the accounts.

Related parties and relationships with other organisations
TDS partners with related Manchester based organisations where this furthers the aims of the charity. TDS has a partnership with Manchester Carers Forum, Lihed, Connect Support, Ananna, TLC St Lukes, and Manchester Cares.

Remuneration policy for key management personnel
The remuneration of staff is now scheduled for annual review. There was no review, however, during this reporting year, although the board was considering a cost of living pay increase for all staff.

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN FOR OTHERS
We continue to hold a very small amount of money on behalf of the Chorlton & Whalley Range Dementia Action Group until a time that this group meets again and plans activity in the local area.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Together Dementia Support ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

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)).

TOGETHER DEMENTIA SUPPORT

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

TAXATION
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

DONATED SERVICES AND FACILITIES
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees' annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
