We continue to provide a monthly face to face Carers, Group. This is much appreciated by all the carers who attend. Carers are often stretched beyond what they feel capable of, and the support gained by having their person attend the Day Centre and meeting with other carers who really understand the difficulties of the role of caring for a loved one who is livinE Wlth dementia is an enormous benefit. Ad hoc support to carers from all staff continues= The member of staff escorting on the transport may be the first to hear about an emerging situation and the staff are alert to taking account of what carers report and ensuring that the Day Centre Manager is informed and appropriate action is taken. Reserves olic The Darnall Dementia Trust IDDTI 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 outgoin8s, the reserves should be approximately £48,000. The free reserves (general funds excluding the value of any tangible fixed assets) as at 31 March 2024 were £60,72412023'. £60,367). The Trustees review the policy and progress towards meeting the target level of reserves annually.

We have received testimonials from carers thankinE us for the way in which a person's life has been enriched for the time that they were able to be with us.
