## **Darnall Dementia Trust** 

## **Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **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. 

The free reserves (general funds excluding the value of any tangible fixed assets) as at 31 March 2025 were £65,233 (2024: £60,724). 

The Trustees review the policy and progress towards meeting the target level of reserves annually. 

## **Future plans** 

We continue to maintain the service in line with the current 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 while the Contract is still in place. 

## **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.

## **Trustees’ annual report - continued For the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

The charity trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements. 

## **Small companies’ provision** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. 

The trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Annual Report above on 22 October 2025

**Darnall Dementia Trust** 

**Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **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 5 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.

## **(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**
