Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
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 31 March 2021. 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).
CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION
I am pleased to present this report for the year 2020-21. The year has been challenging, as it has been for all organisations, because of the covid-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, I am very proud of the activities of Trent Dementia throughout 2020-21. In particular, the online groups that have been our main charitable activity have been extremely successful. At the time of writing, lockdown measures are beginning to ease, so we look forward to being able to have more direct contact with the people whom we serve. We have managed our finances prudently and we gratefully acknowledge the generous support of Dementia Research UK. We have maintained our standards of governance by monitoring and updating our internal policies. We have no safeguarding or data protection issues to report in the past year.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims
The company's objects and principal activities are:
To improve the quality of care, support and wellbeing of people who are living with dementia in the East Midlands and beyond.
For the benefit of the public by promoting the development of high quality services for such people and their carers.
The charity's website address is: www.trentdementia.org.uk.
We run projects and events and aim to work alongside people with dementia and their supporters.
Significant activities
Our main focus is on the project of empowerment for people with dementia and their carers, and support to the DEEP groups in Nottingham. Since the covid-19 lockdown, Trent Dementia has offered twice (and now, three times) weekly groups for people with dementia and their family carers. This has been during a period when many dementia activities and facilities have been completely closed down. The groups have provided support and craft activities. Researchers based at De Montfort University have been interviewing group members to record their experiences of their attendance at the groups during the covid period. The groups have been led by Dr Jane Rowley, project manager, and Ghazal Mazloumi, project development worker, with assistance from Suzanne Osborne and Eleri Clarke.
The work of the online groups was presented in a seminar presented to the University of Nottingham Centre for Dementia on 11th November 2020, which attracted a wide audience and much positive feedback.
Trent Dementia has also been recognised by inclusion in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System Dementia Steering Group, and we are one of the listed partners in the Nottingham Green Social Prescribing Programme, announced in March 2021.
As mentioned in last year's report, in February 2020 we were named as one of the charities of the year by HMS Sherwood, the East Midlands Royal Naval Reserve for the East Midlands. There have been no relevant activities, and hence no income, from this partnership in the year 2020-21, but we will join up again with HMS Sherwood in 2021-22.
The transfer of the Atdementia assistive technology website to the Disabled Living Foundation was completed on 1st June 2020.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Over the year to 31st March 2021, the Trust's account balance showed a modest decrease from £15,220 to £14,277. Income consists of regular monthly payments from Dementia Research UK, which have been generously increased since January 2021, together with one monthly standing order. During 2020-21, we received four grant payments totalling around £18,500. The largest of these was £12,000 from Independent Age.
With a baseline monthly expenditure of around £3,000, there are currently reserves for about five months. The charity's reserves comprise of general reserves to provide working capital and to secure the continuity of the charity's activities in the future. To fulfil our charitable purpose requires that we secure grant income to maintain the current level of activity.
Reserves policy
The charity's reserves comprise of general reserves to provide working capital and to secure the continuity of the charities activities in the future.
Going concern
