The Board of Trustees, who meet quarterly, administer the cbarity. The Board reviews the
manageinent, fijnd i-aising, and financial status and agrees strategy for the chai-ity.
Objeetives and activities
The objcctives OF the TThst are to provide fw]ding for identification, advice, suppojt and
infoiination" and to prortLOte awareness of mental health problems as well as einotional. drng and
alcohol abuse and other health problems in the dental profession.
The Trust appeals to the profession for funds to finance its work, which l)as public benefit, in the
eai'ly detection and subsequent support for affecied pi-actitioners. The trust meets the Ios8 of
earnings and expenses of Special Referees who are registered dental surgeons, so designated

opelated by supporting their training.
A widely advertised telephone helpline is manned on a 24 bour basis and the Trust has fll￿nCed
and assisted in the editing of a manual 'Drugs and Alcohol in the Dental Piofession. which has

Coordtnator is the princKpal point of contact for those seeking help and is now assisted by a
deputy and in practice all work devolves on them. 'fhere is a national network of Special and
Regional Refer¢es on whom they can call.

Reserves Policy
Reserves shall be built up to and maintained at a level which ensures that the charity's core
activities could continue during a period of fitLancial insecurity. The contingency reserve should
repi'esent approximately one yeaes worth of coi"e activity expendituie to ellable the cliaiity to
continue operating for at least one year during a period of financial insecurÈty. At the year-end the
contingency fund was £90,000 and was considered to be sufficient by the trustees. Thts i"eseives
policy will be reviewed annually by the trustees.
Risk management
The Trustees are i'esponsible for identifying the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and
ensuring th<tt steps are taken to manage those iisks.
Achievements and performance
This year has seen more significant changes for the tn]st. Richard Jones has proved to be an
excellent i'eplacement for Rory O'connor, and has shouldered the burden of manning tlie helpline,
taking on new cases and providing an education programme for our associates. It became cleai"
that his workload was imsustainable, so the trust decided to take on a second co-ordinator.
On Richard's iecommcndation wc took on Jenny Hart to share his responsibilities, and the two
have proved to be an excellent partnership.
After cai'eful consideration and discussions with the board, it was decided tbat Richard and Jenny
should be the only ones manning the helpline as the feeling from a nwnber of tbe associates was
that they were too appi'ehensive to take calls from seriously distressed dentists. We are tlierefore
discussing different roles for the associates.
Allother area of activity for tbis year was to improve our online presence, and make it very clear
who we ai"e and what we can offer, to avoid confusion with othei organisations providing advice
and help for dentists. Wc therefore agreed a budget and einployed Tim Pei'liai. to provide
recommendations and a plan of action. Tknis was agreed by the board and he has started makn'iig
changes.
The number of enquiries irinains high, and the cases Richard and Jenny have taken on are very
similai. to previous Ye￿-s.
Feedback from those who access the Trust is still excellenL and we are confident we stlll provide
a unique seivice to dentists in difficulty. The ttust remains in a veiy strong position financially
aiid with and excellent team of trustees, employees and associates.
