ALZHEIMERS DEMENTIA SUPPORT (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 of the financial statements and comply with the ‘ADS’ governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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).

Custodian Trustee

‘ADS’ does not act as custodian, and it does not own any land or buildings.

Public benefit statement

The trustees consider that the objectives of ‘ADS’ meet the tests for the public benefit.

In exercising their powers and duties, the trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the relevant guidance, published by the charity commission.

Objectives and activities

‘ADS’ volunteers (including all Trustees) support the charity and we continue to seek and encourage more to join us. We provide respect and gratitude for their service and, by only utilising the time they freely offer us, we hope to retain them. Voluntary work offered by the community continually reinforces our ethical message and builds confidence in our work.

‘ADS’ strictly applies safe working practices, mindful of all current legislation. As a charity, we consistently consult our membership to ensure that our services remain appropriate to their needs.

‘ADS’ offers vital guidance, information, assistance, support, companionship, advocacy, signposting, physical and psychological stimulation, entertainment, enjoyment, and close friendships in relaxed surroundings.

Our extensive range of services include ‘singing for pleasure’, ‘seated exercises’, ‘moves and grooves’, ‘multi-lingual services’, ‘out and about’, ‘mates with plates’, ‘connection cafes’, ‘lunch clubs’, ‘virtual services’, a ‘Dementia information hub’, weekends away and a range of ad-hoc social events. Our ‘ADS’ Annual Santa Fun Run has been a popular and joyful event which helped to raise much needed funds.

Additional services included in this financial year:

ALZHEIMERS DEMENTIA SUPPORT (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

We actively communicate and reach potential new members in need of our support through; our website, newsletters, social media, leaflets in GP surgeries, pharmacies, clinics, and public places to ensure our message remains visible. We consult our members when introducing new services and activities to ensure their needs are appropriately met. The trustees pay due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in formulating and deciding those activities ‘ADS’ should undertake. Achievements and financial review

2024/25 has presented many challenges and we continue to experience increased funding pressures due to the deepening financial crisis in the UK. However, our priority remains to provide a wide range of services delivering vital support for our members.

Our decision to increase trading from our ‘ADS’ Charity shop to 7 days per week, has improved income and more than covers the increased cost. This has resulted in our shop returning an operating profit of £30,364 despite difficult retail trading conditions on the High Street.

Collections from tins remains difficult, as fewer people use cash nowadays. Our inability to raise money via normal processes and the added challenge of receiving no financial support from Local Authorities, means we continued to rely on our diminishing reserves to remain fully operational. Without our reserves ‘ADS’ would have been unable to deliver its services or develop new ones in these times. We have consistently adhered to an ethos of prudence, however increasing income is critical to ensure longevity. Our strictly applied policies have allowed us to maintain our staff salary levels at market values for the year 2024/25. This would have been impossible were it not for our careful financial controls over the years, testifying to the importance of continuing this practice. Our total income was £423,738 compared to £290,171 for Y/E 2024, which shows an improvement and is encouraging under the current circumstances. We have continued to carefully maintain tight control of costs and benefitted from an income of £8,800 coming from a maturing term investment contributing to the increase.

We have been fortunate to receive two Legacies during this period which has helped us. Two large legacies of £70,141 and £10,000 were also received post 31 August 2025 but have been included in these financial statements. However, reduced income from grants reflects the financial challenges we face. Our balance sheet, as of 31st August 2025, identifies charity funds at £263,812 (2023/24: £233,434) which allowed ‘ADS’ to meet its aims and objectives. Our reserves (excluding accrued legacies of £80,141 and accrued gift aid of £32,741) at the end of August 2025 of £150,930 (2023/24: £233,434) reflect the challenges faced. We will strenuously work towards continued sustainability during the year ahead. We are extremely grateful for those contributions received from our many donors, which we utilise in full to provide the services we deliver. We will continue to actively seek grants, legacies and donations to assist us to fund expenditure.

Future developments

Our Director of Funding will continue to strive to deliver the desired results through a more efficient events and fundraising package to meet the challenges in the UK which remain difficult to overcome. Fundraising is our absolute priority as access to funds permits the continuation of premium quality services delivered to our members. In addition, we are required to absorb the many financial burdens being placed upon the charity including a rise in NI contributions and an increase to the minimum wage which came into effect during this financial year. Our aims and objectives remain firm that we will use every opportunity to gain access to sufficient funds through grants, events, raffles, social media etc., to properly protect and deliver our wide array of services to the membership in the year(s) ahead.

ALZHEIMERS DEMENTIA SUPPORT (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Our ‘ADS’ Annual Santa Fun Run has been very successful over a period of many years, however we have decided to replace it with a series of smaller events throughout the year. Our aim remains that we will deliver events to provide vital opportunities for our members to enjoy much needed ‘Fun’ days out. Organising and hosting additional ‘ADS’ events at different times of the year will hopefully assist in achieving our goals; resources permitting.

We continue to broaden our appeal to more sections of the community, increasing the number of people we support. We are always exploring and devising new ways to assist our members, utilising all platforms available to us; building on lessons learned. Partner agencies continue to support our charity, knowing that we respond appropriately and deliver the highest standards of service. We will continue to foster these relationships.

Business Risk Policy

Our risk assessment policy is robust and recognises the need to protect ‘ADS’ and its members. The trustees consider all known risks which might affect the business and take appropriate steps and actions to mitigate them.

Internal controls are in place to reduce the likelihood of loss through fraud or misuse of funds. Management accounts, book-keeping, payroll and pension processing are outsourced to Wilson Partners LLP.

We believe our operational structure, headed up by Nysa Harris, in the role of Director of Operations, provides stability. We continue to work towards achieving an effective succession planning program. We have an efficient system of back-up controls in place to mitigate exposure to IS/IT/AI risks.

Reserves Policy

‘ADS’ operates responsibly retaining sufficient funds to provide sustainability ensuring outgoings reflect income. Providing confidence in the community that we will fully utilise our resources to deliver the highest possible standards of service.

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Mr D DP Jannetta Mr J P MacFarlane Mr D M Coppinger Mr F Knowles

The articles of association requires at least three trustee members of the company. Such members are appointed by trustees based on their application and experience. Trustees have absolute discretion with regard to accepting any application from an individual. We continue to seek persons with the appropriate skills to join us and strengthen our board. All persons must be aged 16 or over to become members of the company. There is no restriction to the length of the trustee appointment, assuming they continue to fulfill their specified areas of responsibility, in accordance with the ‘ADS’ constitution.

None of the trustees of the company have any beneficial interest in ‘ADS’. Our trustees are all members of the Company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. Each such member remains liable for their guarantee for one year after they cease to be a member, for liabilities incurred while they were a member.

The Charity is managed by its board of trustees, who meet regularly and who decide on policy. David Jannetta and the trustees support day-to-day operational matters.

ALZHEIMERS DEMENTIA SUPPORT (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Charity information Alzheimers Dementia Support is a private company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per Member of the Charity. The Charity is registered in England and Wales. The registered office is .

The accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year.

4.1. Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Alzheimers Dementia Support meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is unknown the details of the legacy are disclosed and it is treated as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met.

The charity receives assistance in the form of donated goods and services. Donated goods are not recognised as income as disclosed in note 1.8. The Charity also benefits from the services of a number of volunteers who give their time freely. In accordance with the Charities SORP FRS 102, general volunteer time is not recognised.

(Continued)

Other trading activities and other income are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business.

1.5 Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

Expenditure is classified under the following headings:

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a specific activity are allocated directly.

Governance cost includes those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include all independent examiners fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity. irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and charitable activities. The basis on which the support costs have been apportioned on an appropriate basis are set out in the note 8.

1.6 intangible fixed assets other than goodwill Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation. Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.

Computers

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 recognised in the statement of financial activities.

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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).

1.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represents cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.

1.11 Financial instruments The Charity 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 Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
