The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 March 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the 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) issued in October 2019.

Objectives, activities and public benefit

The objects of the charity are for the public benefit, the relief of poverty and illness amongst persons living with dementia and their carers, to enable them to remain living in their own homes, including but not limited to the following:

We provide advice, information, support and training to people living with dementia, carers, staff and the general public.

We provide a Day Care to people living with dementia in a safe environment for enjoyment, warmth, respect and friendship, valuing, including and involving people in relevant, appropriate, interesting, stimulating and enjoyable activities, acknowledging strengths, supporting disabilities and accepting limitations.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Reserves policy

The Darnall Dementia Trust (DDT) provides day care for people living with dementia, plus support for carers and training and mentorship for volunteers. DDT employs a small number of staff in order to provide this service. The Trustees wish to ensure that the charity's committed costs can be covered if there are short term funding issues or in the event that they need to dissolve the charity. Since income can be volatile, the general reserve should represent approximately 3 months running costs and the amount required to cover staff redundancies. With the current staff levels and monthly outgoings, the reserves should be approximately £48,000.

Free reserves at 31 March 2022 were £58,413.

The Trustees are considering ways of reducing the charity's dependence on volatile forms of income and increasing more reliable forms of income for its services. In addition, plans for the coming years allow for general reserves to be increased to provide 6 months cover for commitments. The Trustees review the policy and progress towards meeting the target level of reserves annually.

Future plans

The plan for the future is to develop the service in line with the current new Contract with the Sheffield City Council and to deliver the service to provide 30 places per week to people with assessed needs. From a financial point of view, we expect to be able to deliver this service at the current level at least until March 2024.

We have had to adjust to new ways of working as the new contract has meant changes to our referral systems and introductions to the Day Centre. Most of our current referrals are for clients with extremely complex needs who are only able to remain with us for a very short time before entering permanent care settings. Our staff have adjusted to this and are providing a service which enhances the life of the person living with dementia and their carers. We have received testimonials from carers thanking us for the way in which a person’s life has been enriched for the time that they were able to be with us.

We intend to develop this new way of working, enabling the person living with dementia to benefit from the activities and services on offer, and for their carers to gain from the support we offer.

Structure, Governance and Management

The organisation is a Company Limited by Guarantee and a registered Charity. The Charity's governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The charity was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee without share capital, 11 May 2012 and was registered with the Charity Commission as a charity on 13 July 2012.

The Trustees meet at least six times a year to monitor the progress of the organisation, including its Day Centre, Carers’ Support, supervision, support and training for staff and volunteers, outreach work, advice and information, financial planning and monitoring. The trustee board also monitors and updates the terms and conditions for staff, arrangements for renting the premises used, and all policies and guidelines.

The Role of Chair was taken this year by Kevan Taylor, appointed in April 2022. The Secretary role remains with Lisa Heller. The Treasurer role remains with Joanna Saul. Staff Supervision has been undertaken by Kristin Bash, until her resignation from the trustee board, and, since his appointment, by Kevan Taylor, Chair of the trustees. Clinical supervision and support for staff has been undertaken by Lisa Heller, additional clinical advice by Hazel Wood.

Trustees are recruited through advertisements placed via Voluntary Action Sheffield, and the two Universities in the city. They are also recruited by word of mouth, through the volunteer group, and through contacts with staff and existing trustees.

Darnall Dementia Trust

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting Policies

(a) General

Darnall Dementia Trust is a charitable company in the United Kingdom limited by guarantee. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and with the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

Darnall Dementia Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.

(b) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income from services provided is included in the year in which the service took place.

Bank interest is recognised as income when it is credited to the bank statement. All bank interest is treated as unrestricted income to the General Fund.

(c) Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

(d) Donated goods and services

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

(e) Debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables.

(f) Creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

(g) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

1 Accounting Policies - continued

(i) Defined contribution pension scheme

The charity contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of the employees. The pension costs charged against net incoming resources are the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period in accordance with FRS102.

(j) Leases

Rental payable and receivable under operation leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

(k) Taxation

As a charity, the organisation is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within the available tax exemptions to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the charity.

(l) Funds

Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the funder.

(m)Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern.
