DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2021.
Principal activities
MASE, Monthly Alzheimer's Support Evening, is an independent charity working to support people affected by Alzheimer's/Dementia and their Carers. The MASE has developed a service that is really popular, which is evidenced by the increasing numbers attending the four Groups.
There are no paid personnel in the MASE; a loyal team of 35 Volunteers, which includes the 5 Trustees, run four MASE Groups. Stafford Group closed after the lockdown because we did not have enough volunteers to ensure we could run the group safely. Many of the Stafford Carers and their cared for have transferred to the Haughton Group. MASE also provides transport for Carers and their cared for to attend.
We have four new volunteers from The Staffordshire University Academy in Hednesford. They have become part of our team at the Hednesford Group and have been a huge success with our Carers and their cared for.
To ensure there were sufficient funds for the Groups to re-open when the time was right, Trustees continued to fundraise during Covid-19. The Charity does not receive any core-funding and is now heading into its thirteenth year; an achievement all Trustees/Volunteers are incredibly proud of.
Trustees were delighted to learn that the Mid Counties Co-operative would be continuing to Partner the MASE until the end of 2022. The support from the Mid Counties Co-operative has been invaluable to the MASE Groups over the last few years and we send our sincere thanks to everyone at the stores and the offices who have been involved with MASE over the years.
Links continue with professional agencies, such as Alzheimer’s Research, The Alzheimer’s Society, Dementia UK, and Age UK. As the popularity of the MASE increases Care Homes, Care Agencies, and Universities dealing with Health & Social Care invite us to make presentations to their new recruits, so that they too can promote the work we do. Our Carers are also willing to assist with questionnaires/surveys that Universities are undertaking.
Visits from professional organisations to the Groups have become sparce. However we have a Legal Advisor present at each group and occasionally representation from The Alzheimer’s Society who attend to offer advice and support to Carers. St John’s/First Responders are always present at each of the Groups.
During Lockdown MASE delivered over 5,000 ‘Meals on Wheels’ to our more vulnerable families. Sincere thanks go to our resident MASE Caterer and also Hindles Butcher in Stafford, who prepared the meals for delivery each Friday. These were collected and delivered by the Trustees in sealed packs of three meals per person, to Carers and their cared for in Cannock, Stafford, Hednesford and Rugeley.
We were delighted to re-launch our four MASE Groups in July 2021. Anti-Virus equipment was purchased and all safeguarding measures put firmly in place before opening. The groups were received with great enthusiasm by Carers and their cared for. The isolation they have all faced during the Pandemic has been cruel and in some cases extremely difficult for Carers when trying to explain to their loved one with dementia that they could not go out, and that there could be no visitors to their homes.
The Five Trustees of the MASE Group ensure the MASE Carers and their cared for are a priority and do all we can to keep the channels of communication open and ensure that we do all we can to keep our people safe.
Since the MASE re-started the monthly Newsletter is handed out to Carers at each Group, which saves us an incredible amount on postage. However, there are a few people who have requested a MASE Newsletter by mail, if they are still unable to attend the groups.
We have seen an increase in new Carers and their cared for since re-opening the MASE. Many people will phone initially to ask about the Groups. Most of them, then do come along to the groups. If people struggle to get into the MASE we will arrange for reputable taxi’s and other transport to bring them in and take them home safely.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2021
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Monthly Alzheimer’s Support Evening Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 3 Hartwell Grove, Stafford, Staffordshire, UK, ST16 1RW.
1.1 Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Income and expenditure
Income and expenses are included in the financial statements as they become receivable or due.
Expenses include VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim it.
1.3 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Equipment 15% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit .
1.4 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in surplus or deficit, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.6 Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset , with the net amounts presented in the financial statements , when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future paymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. A m ounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.7 Taxation
The company is exempt from corporation tax, it being a company not carrying on a business for the purposes of making a profit.
