S.P.A. (PEGGY DODD) BATH STIL4TEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Chair's Report Looking back over the year theTe is a feeling within th¢ charity that a lot of good work has gone on in the different areas in wbich we are involved. The Peggy Dodd C¢ntre itself Colltinues to be a place where high standards are achieved by the conllnitted care staff, both those who are part of the salaried tearn and those who volunt¢¢r- in the latter group we have been delighted to welcome several local Sixth Forniers, who have proved to be invaluable. The cli¢Dts are very grate1 for the way the staff are prepared to go the extra mile, and we have received a number of appreciative comments during the year from both clients and carers. This has led to several legacies, which have proved extremely useful. AlongsidB die work &1 the Ceiitre is tbe Home Support serrice, which has been busy during the y¢2r as sitters have been ¢aring for those wliose pcrsonal circuTnstances rncan t'hat staying at horne is the most appropriate way for their needs to be managed. OUT home sitters are dedicatcd and carin& and provide excellent care as well as enabling carers to have some respite. The Dementia Café is an area of which we are justly proud. Each month those living with dementia Can receive extra support, but it is perhaps the carers who benefit the most as they are able to discus5 their needs with others, and to i¢¢eive vital support. We would like to acknowledge the support we have received from senior conunissioning staff at B&NES and HCRG over tbe year. The lo¢al Council Core contsct with HCRG for the Day Centre lasting until 31 March 2025 has been extended to 31 March 2026. which continues to give us a sound financial platforni for both the immediate aDd the longer period. I would like to take this oppOrttity to thank my fellow Tnlstees for all they Contribute. We were sad to lose Mr5 Margaret Klestadt during the year. Margaret gave many years of unstinting service to Peggy Dodd, and was particularly active in setting up our Dementia café. We have, however, been boost¢d by the arrival of Mr David Hughesdon, whose knowledge and financial acumen are already noticeable. Thanks are also due to Mr Ricky Bush, our CEO. who leads the team with enthusiasm. dedication and considerable profes5ioiial expertise. also to Mrs Katie Talbot. our Finan¢¢ Manager, whose financial kDowledge attd expertise are very considerable. as is her desire that Peggy Dodd sliould flourish. Structure, Governance, and Management Th¢ organisation is a cliaritable company limited by guaTantee. incorporated on 17 September 1996, and registered as a charity on 26 September 1996. Tlje company (which took over the work of Support for Relatives of the Mentally Infirni) was established under a MemorarAdum of Association whicb established the objects and powers and is governed under its Articles of Aswciation. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding one pound. The Board of Truste¢s consists of up to fifteen tnembers wbo me¢t six times a year and administer the Charity. The Truslees are Direciors of the Company and are ¢le¢ted from amongst die members of the coinpany on an annual basis at the Annual General meeting. kniy inember of the Charity may make noniinations, and all Trustees retire each year and are eligible for re-election, without any age restriction. Currently there are seven Tnte¢s, mostly retired people Ibut still very active) including carers. teachers, social workers, administrators, bubiness and other professionals, providing us witb a good 5PCCtnun of experience and input. A number of Trustees have had relatives wlio were looked after at the Peggy Dodd Centre, and this provides an additional understanding of our needs. We are fortunate to have Trustees witb the professional skills necessary to overstt the administrative and fiDattcial systems. and these Tnte¢S ¢nsure a businesslike approach to nu18 the charity. The Trustees are aware that wli¢D va¢ancies aris¢. they may need to broaden the range of ¢xp¢rtise available lo the Charity. The Trustees are aware of their responsibil.ities in respect of safegLwding, GDPR, other reporting issues. Page I
S.P.L (PEGGY DODD) BATH STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Th¢ ckwity has been compliant with the GDPR regulations. The fllwicial statements are audited each year to eL8ure th¢ integrity of the charity. The nMnagem¢llt team in the orgatiis&tion Consists of a CEO and a fallce manager who ntsnage the day to day nll)ning of the cEwity and meet regularly together and with the trLlSt¢es. Trustee Inductlon and Trainlng SPA has a very stabl¢ alld loyal membership, and the majority of Truslees have been in place for th¢ past few years. All Tnte¢S have either relevallt professional cxperience or have been involved with the charity as carers or volunteers. The benefits of exp¢rience are balan¢¢d by cUent use of legal, management and administrative exp¢rtise. The changing regulatory world means that new Trnstees should be recLted with specifIc skills, experience and knowledge. The majority of our Trustees live in Bath, and are well known in the local communities Risk a$s¢ssment We are cuNently half way through a one year bridging contract from the council, following the end of our previously extended contract in March 2025. This new contract will see us through until 31 st March 2026. We are now waiting on an update on tendering for a new 7-year contract with the council, which if successful, will see w receive a fixed amount until 2032. We are continuing lo do a review of our reserves and risk assessmenL one of our biggest risks is th¢ Cut to this fiding. This is kept under close review. and our reserves are suifi¢ient for us to manage this whilst we sought grants from other third parties or moved towards a full cost recovery from clients. An annual budget is set by the Trustees with the reserves situation in Mind. The tThteeS receive quarterly budget and reports with analysis for their review and consideration. Charitabl¢ Objectives The Charity was establislied to continue the work started nearly 30 years ago by Mrs Peggy Dodd to promote the relief of elderly meiirally infirnj persons and their responsible relatives and other carers, by the provision of supporting service, such as day care, home sittin& support and advice. A further objective is the promotion of knowledg¢ about and awareness of the naDJre of dem¢nria and memory loss, and the needs of patients and Carers. In fiwtherance of these objectives, the Charity fLised fid5 to purcl)ase. equip, and opcrate a Day Cei)tre which is now open five days a week for 60 clients who are assessed as suffering from mild to severe dementia. The maintenance of a high-quality staiidard of service offered is our first priority. Each year the TSteeS review the charity's obje¢tives and a¢tivities to ensure that they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review. the Tntee5 have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. Activities for Public Benefit Tbe Peggy Dodd Centre provides a valuable public benefit by offering specialised day care services for individuals living with memory loss, including those with dementia. This support helps maintain the dI)Ity and quality of life for those affected while providing a safe and engaging environment tailored to their needs. The centre offers structtwed activities that promote mental stimulation, physical activity, and social interaction, whtch are all crucial in managing memory-related conditions and enhancing well-being. In addition to supporting individuals with memory loss, we play a Critical role in assisting their families and caregivers. By providing respite care, it allo caregivers essential time to rest, manage personal responsibilities, or simply take a break from their demandtng roles. This service helps prevent caregiver burnouL which can l¢ad to improved mental health and r¢silience among families managing tbe challenges of memory loss care. The centre also foster5 community engagement and education around nLemory10ss and dementia. Through workshops. outreach programs, and collaborations with local organisations. we raise awareness and reduce the stigma sOUnd)ng memory-related conditions. These efforts help build a more infornled, compassionate community equipped to support individuals and families affected by these challenges. Page 2
S.PA. (PEGGY DODD) BATH STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Lastly, the Peggy Dodd Centre contributes to public bealth by potentially reducing the demand for more intensive healthcare services. By helping individuals with memory loss maintain their independenc¢ for as long as possible, the centre can delay or reduce th¢ need for full-time residential care or hospital admissions. This not only benefits those directly involved but also helps ease pressure on public healthcare systems and social services. Achievements and Performance The Peg8y Dodd Ceutre is proud to reflect on a yeaT of significant achievetnents, continued community sUPPOrt, and growth in tiie services we provide for people living witEI dernenlia and their fan)ilies.

Mrs Gill Garlington as chayI of Friends has been keeping in touch with volunteers. If you would like to join the band of enthusiastic helpers, pleasc ¢ontact her via the centre on 01225 835520. Tbe need for funds continues and we are grateful to all who help or support in arty way. Financlal review This ycar our income was £828k with unrestricted incotne being £828k and restricted income bcing £Ok compared to the prior year of income of £928k (£827k unrestricted and £IOlk restricted). This is a decrease from the prior year priMllY due the £98k restricted grant received from Margaret Fishcr Tnt received last year. Our funding from tbe Core Funding (B&NES) contract represented 16 % of our total unrestricted income and was for the Day Centre service including the Margaret FisELer unit. We have bcnefitted from Ecnerous donations. including £46k from donations gifted in wills Oegacies), £26k unexpectcd donations from two tntS and many given in memory of a loved one and fidraISed for us. Our costs for the year being £832k wtth our largest costs being staff running the day centre and our home support service5 compared to £725k in the prior year. The higher costs this year relating to having fewer staff vacancies and the rising costs of providing our service including minimum wage increase, transport and utility prices. We a150 ¢ontinu the spend on the Margar¢t Fisher grant rec¢ived in the prior year with work on the call system around the ¢entre. We have ended the y¢ar with an unexpected overall breakeven position. We are showing a unrestricted surplus of £25k which without the unexp¢¢ted receipt of the legacies and trust donations would have been a planned defi¢it. We have a planned restrict¢d deficit of £26k. of which £16k relates to the Continue spending against the Margaret Fisher grant and the balance was the transfer of depreciation cost to the Capital fLmd and revaluation of investments. In the new financial year, we are continuing to spend this Margaret Fisher grant on the new garden room. Th¢ Trustees made the decision to keep these sury)lus ullrestricted fjjnds in th¢ reserves in the year while we manage the rising costs of the organisation and the uncertainty of the Core Funding (B&NES) and ensuring client recharges are kept at a lower level. Looking fonvard to 2025126, these unrestri¢ted reserves have enabled us to approve a deficit budget which will utilise some of these unrestricted reserves, this is due to Increased stsffing costs due a fier minimum wage increase and changes to Employer's National Insurance contribution, utility bills and other cost of living increases and tying to keep the rate ¢harged to clients as low as possible. Our reserves policy is reviewed regularly but the wemise beh.ind it remains the same that we want to have at least six months of expenditure and a provision to manage any rethiction in the Core Funding (B&NES). As we are still in a period of uncertainty, the trustees consider the current unrestricted reserves of £591k to be at a reasonable level when you lake into account the deficit budget in place for 2025126, the rising costs and the uncertainty around fi]ture core funding. We continue to receive many individual donatiODS. and it is heartening to know that many continue to support our work by one off donations or standing orders.

Page 9
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF S.P.A. (PEGGY DODD) BATH Our responslbllltles for the Audlt of the fin&n¢fiAI statements Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a wbole are fre¢ from material n)isstatem¢nt. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors th8t includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements Can arise frojn fraud or error and are considered tnaterial if, individually or in th¢ aggregate, they could reasonably b¢ expected to infiuence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregul]tiC8, including fraud is detailed below: Our approach to identifying and assessins the risks of material misstatement in respect of irrewlarities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows. the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team coll¢ctively had the appropTiat¢ competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non4ompliance with applicabl¢ laws and regulations. we identified the la and r¢8ulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other managemenL and from comrner¢ial knowledge and experience of the charitable care sector.. we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effe¢t on the financial statements or the operations of tbe compaNy, including the Companies Act 2006. taxation legislation and data protection,anti-bribery. employment. environmental and health and safety legislation. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through rnaking enquiries of manageinent and inspecting legal corrc5pondence' and identified laws and regulations were communicated within th¢ audit team regularly and the tearn remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit We assessed the suseeptibility of the charitys financial statements to material misstaten*nL including obtaining an understsnding of how fraud might occur, by. making enquiri¢s of Inanagement as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud; considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations'and understanding the design of the ¢harity's remuneration policies. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and ovettide of controls, we. perfornied anal)tical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relatiOhIps, tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions. assess¢d whether judgements and assumptions made in d¢tern)ining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and retions, we designed Procedures which included, but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation reading the minute5 of meetings of those Gharged with governance; enquiring of management as to actual and polential litigation and claims. and reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the companys legal advisors. Th¢r¢ are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that law5 and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become awar¢ of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the the audit procedures required to identify non•compliance with laws and regulations to ¢nquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate conc¢alment or collusion. A fillther description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's websit¢ at www.frc.org.u]dauditorsresponsibilities.
