Registgr9d address George Armilage House Burton Leonard RIPON North Yorkshire HG3 3SD Dementia Forward YourPloitli York51iir¢Chaiily Cbreand SvppDrl lor Llle CEO Report Dementia Foward continues to grow, led by the ever increasing need. One of the stand out features of the charity is its willingness and ability to flex and lo constantly seek improvements, often influenced by external factors. Never has this been more important than post Covid and in these limes of increased need and reduced budgets and capacity. The increased use of technology within our organisation has supported the growth and the increased complexity of the work we do and l am always impressed with the ability of our staff to move with these changes. There has been a lot of attention given lo research and the excilemenl about breakthroughs in drug treatments., however, in reality there is no real change on the ground, and instead of optimism il would be easy to see only the negatives. Our i role has been to manage expectations, to support our colleagues in the statutory sector and most importantly to provide Ihe right support at the right time to those families who need quality dementia support. The main feature of this has been that we now support families who are seeking a diagnosis, with wait5 that are often in excess of a year. Again, I want to give praise to the staff and Trustees who have moved into new territory and adapted lo new ways of working, even new language, in this sensitive area of work and seamlessly developed a successful pathway ofsupport for so many families. Whilst we are often involved, and indeed contribute to the conversations around research, we are always reminded of our mission to be here for the people who live wth dementia in the here and now and this remains our focus. Jill Quinn MBE CEO Dementia Foward Some of the challenges With the fast growth we have eXperIend there are inevitably challenges. We are happy to report that we continue to have very successful staff recruilmenl and retention and supported by our passionate and skilled Trustee board we have successfully implemented changes, often at speed. However, the income generation has not kept the same pace. We have tipped into a new arena, no longer a 'small' charity and yet not resourced as a larger charity might be. We are addressing some of this wth the planned recruitment of a second fund raiser and we are now fishing in a different pond in terms of grants and trusts, but It takes time to reap the rewards. So, we do find ourselves having to focus much more on bringing funds in and indeed growing the reserve to match the new turn over.
Registgred address George Armilage House Burton Leonard RIPON North Yorkshire HG3 3SD Dementia Forward Caie Support foi Life We remain committed to ensuring thal the charity has a balance of income generation streams, which has served us well over the last 12 years. We set out with the intention of 500/0 split of contracts to voluntary income and this is currenlly sat al 46.940h contract funded. With the reduced budgets within statutory health and social care structures we are looking with commissioners at the balancing of quantity and quality. There are sometimes difficult decisions to make bul we are grateful that we make those decisions together and we value the relalionships and respect we have from our statutory commissioners. Of course the biggest challenges are faced by the people we support, and with pressures on health and social care, our work has become more complex. This presents us with increased training and support needs for our teams. We are delighted with the success of our internal 'shared learning, portal and we are now developing an expansive range of training modules that will not just be used internally bul will enable us to provide case study based learning for care providers. Finally, whilst we have seen great success and fOard thinking developments for young onset dementia, we could not have anticipated the amount ofwork needed when we launched our U&ME campaign. We remain committed to this cause and one ofthe best outcomes for the charity has been the partnerships and collaborations this has introduced along the way.

RoTABY..CLUB., Dementia remains a terrible disease with no signs of a cure. As opportunities for identifying the disease in the early stages increase, so does the demand on our services and support. The number of referrals to our charity Continue lo increase and with il a corresponding rise in the demand for client and carer support. An awareness of the different needs of Young Onset clients has grown through our specific attention to this growing area of dementia. Our excellent staff are rising to this challenge, but the number we require to maintain our service levels has meant an increase twofold in the past three years. This has resulted in commensurale increase in expenditure and placed significant demands on our reserves. To counter this, we have introduced operational efficiencies coupled with a localised leadership structure. This has improved the way we °share the load lo ensure that each region within our large territory receives focussed support within a consistent organisation- wide framework. Our volunteer numbers conlinue to increase and these help support the growth in our hub clubs and cafes throughout the county. These clubs are paramount in providing on a day basis activities for clients and respite for carers. Fundraising is of particular importance in our aims to grow income and the board has laken the decision to strengthen this by adding a staff member. in the next financial year, to specifically search out corporate support. This is vital as many of the services we provide go beyond the commissioned work, and so depend enlirely on this income stream. Trustees continue to review our governance, policies and seNices. We are once again at 8 stage where we require additional trustees. We are well qualified in the fFelds of adult healthcare and neuro-medical expertise but we seek out experience in the f¢elds of finance and business. The trustees remain incredibly grateful and proud of what our staff and volunteers have achieved as we continue lo grow and evolve our services.

Having someone to talk to is often all that is needed in the moment but most calls turn into a referral and the person is allocated a named Demenlia Support Advisor, who will be with them throughout their journey. In addition, many professionals and colleagues from voluntary and private sector organisalions can use the Helpline for advice and information. Increasingly we are receiving calls from out of area and we work closely with partners in other areas, making sure that we refer and signpost on. This is particularly common with young onset and rare dementias as a result of our Campaigning and subsequent development of specialist services. 578592 9am - 4pm "It wos really helpfvl to talk to you and knowyou are at the Dementia Support Advisors other end of the phone, should Teams are based in all areas ofthe County and < we need further support."

Each new referral has a named Demenlia Support Advisor who will meet with the person diagnosed and their family to begin supporting and planning with Ihem, and that same Dementia Support Advisor will continue throughout the person's journey. We cover such Ihings as legal and financial guidance, encouraging planning for the future. We give practical and emotional support and advice and this is importantly delivered at the right time for the person and their family. Dementia Support Advisors have knowledge of what people are entitled to and also what is available in their local area and how lo access It. We signpost and refer to many other agencies including guidan when a person needs full time care. We can then encourage people to join in with our range of activities, including our Hub Clubs.
Ragistered address George Armilage House Btjrton Leonard RIPON North Yorkshire HG3 3SD Dementia Forward (Are and Support lorLlle Memory Support Advisors Again a commissioned service, these posts are based in primary care, working with GP surgeries to proactively seek out people who need a diagnosis, and supporting them through the process. The role gives extra SUPPOrt to NHS colleagues by gathering information and offering support to patients that can speed up Ihe process of diagnosis. This area of work continues to grow and an exciting new development has been the introduction of the Brain Health Café model. These weekly cafes are for anyone who wants to learn about brain health and proactively keep their brains as healthy as possible. The cafes are very much in partnership with health and social care colleagues and provide an informal setting for people who have concerns, to ask their first questions, perhaps before pursuing a diagnosis. Our vision is that Ihese will actually merge with the more traditional wellbeing café for people already diagnosed so that we are not creating silos where people are only accessing 'dementia only, environments. which can serve to increase sligma and isolation. In addition, one of the aims is to support the improvement of diagnosis and bring the diagnosis rates in line with the national expectation. Waiting lists for diagnosis are longer than ever before and having extended our service to support people pre diagnosis, over one third of our new referrals every month are in this category.

This gives our staff access to expert guidance when we have particularly complex cases, but in addition it gives us a conduit beeen our services and health colleagues, and a sharing of knowledge and experience. This post is partially commissioned and partially voluntary funded. Hub Clubs This is the Dementia Forward model for delivering day services. Our charity is set up firstly with the person affected in mind. and we ensure that this service is all about the right tailored support and relevant aclivilies. In addition, however, il provides much needed respite for the family carers. These Hub Clubs are now in 10 locations across the counly, offering 21 days and 210 places. We have been able lo share our model and offer training and support so thal other agencies can replicate it. As part of our core service offered by Dementia Support Advisors we can introduce families lo Hub Clubs when the time is right but also, importanlly, we can support families when the Hub Club is no longer the right option and they need to find more suilable care.
Reglstered address George Armilage House Burton Leonard RIPON North Yorkshire HG3 3SD Dementia Forward CarE Support forule Young Onset Dementia Servlce Following the successful launch of our young onset dementia campaign this area of our work has grown beyond expectation. We now use a dislincl pathway for people under the age of 65 years so that they receive tailored advice, information and support as well as access to our OUard bound day servi'TIme Out Together,. The Time out Together day services are funded by Lottery and Trust funding and are delivered in 4 areas of the county every week, offering 40 places. It is estimated that there are 70.800 people living with young onset dementia in the UK and Dementia Forward has 336 people representing 7.49Yo of our overall case load and demonstrating how well we are doing in reaching out to those affected. A mark ofthe success ofthe campaign and our awareness raising of young onset dementia has been the geographical spread of referrals into our service. It has also allowed us to capture the range of ages of people needing support. We calegorise this demographic by when the person was first diagnosed and below is the spread of age ofthe people we have on our active caseload. It is clear that we need to provide different setvices for people who are diagnosed as young as 40 years old, and importantly the 70 - 79 years age range are those people who were diagnosed before 65 years and are probably in need of long term care and support al this stage. As part of this area of the campaign work we are working with care homes and local authorities to create age appropriate care places.

There is an ambition to combine the 2 models in an effort to spread the Brain Health Café model and support the growing number of people who are pre diagnosis and have a long waiting time. The cafes offer informal access to advice, information and support but at the same time are based on meaningful activity and of course refreshments. They offer peer to peer support, not just for the person affected bul for the family carers and they provide good routine and a way of checking in every week. In addition, we run singing groups and education groups, some of which are now available on line as well as in person. io

Cale and Support for Llle Financial Review and Policies The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practi ISORP) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Charity. Publlc Benefit In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities the Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's published guidance on public benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011. Dernentia Forward relies on contracts, grants and the income from fees and charges to cover its opeialing costs. In selting the level of charges and concessions the Trustees give careful consideration to the accessibility for those on low incomes. Financial Revlew The Charity has generated and raised £1,485,781 in the year. The level of Charity income from Government Contracts is approximately 470h of tolal income 12023 - 50 /0). The streams of voluntary income are now becoming more robust and enabling the Charity to reduce its reliance on government funding. The income and expenditure account shows a deficit of £166,782 for the year, this is partially due to Ihe timing of the funding for services being recognised in 2023 whilst the expenditure was incurred in 2024. Restricted funds broughl foNard of £78,886 have been spent in the year contributing £76,9861o the total deficit. Total funds amounted to £766,237 with restricted funds being £1.900, designated funds being £514,047 and unrestricted undesignated funds being £250,290. Free reserves at the year-end amounted to £250,290 (£213.383 after future lease commitments). Reserves Poll¢y The Trustees considerthat the Charity should aim to maintain Free Reserves at between three i and six months of general operating expenditure in order to fund any shortfalls in income. At the year end the Free ReseNes represented 2 months, worth ofgeneral operating expenditure. The forecast for 2024125 shows a surplus which will enable the Charity to increase Free Reserves, enabling the Charity to conlinue to expand and be within its reserves policy. Risk Management Traditionally the Charity risk register was updaled annually in September and referred to regularly and approved by the full Trustee board. It is now a monthly agenda item and each Trustee takes a lead in one elemenl of Ihe risk register. The CEO and head of operations work with the Trustees to ensure that any negative movement in risk is acted on and this is reported to the board monthly. 16

Forward Careand Supporttorllfe The principal long temi risks and uncertainties facing the charity are identified as being.. Funding Whilst Ihere are substantial contracts in place for 46.94% of the work of the charity, the remaining funds required could easily be affected by the slate of the economy and also by the fragility of funding in the NHS and Local Authority- However, we are confident that our services represent a saving to the statutory partners and that they understand that it is in their best interests to protect the work of our charity. The relationships with senior commissioners and leaders in health and social care are paramount and Dementia Forward has a good reputation for dellvering high quality serVIS and for representing good value for money. The Trustees recognised that there were missed fund raising opportunities in areas of the ¢ounty where Dementia Forward was less known. It was agreed lo employ a fund raiser and alongside thSs to increase activity that raises awareness. A new structure under a Head of Community Liaison has been implemenled. Increaslng need for our servlce Discussions with commissioners are ongoing in relation to the level of demand for Dementia seNices.

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misslalemenls. we are required lo determine whether this gives rise lo a material misslalemenl in the financial slalements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misslalemenl of this other information, we are fequired to rew)rt that fact. We have nothing lo report in this regaTd. Oplnions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audii the information given in the Iruslees, report. which includes the directors. report prepaied for the purposes of wmpany law, for the financial year ft)r which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial stalemenls,. and the directors, report included within the trustees, report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report lo you if, in our opinion.. adequate a¢¢ounling records have not been kept., or the financial slalemenls are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.. or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit if the small companies regime has been used the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and lake advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the trustees, report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Dementia Fonward In preparing the financial slalemenls, the Iruslees are responsible for assessing Ihe charrtable company's ability lo continue as a going con{n, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and using the going concern basis of accounling unless the Iruslees either intend lo liquidate the charitable company or lo cease operations, or have no realistic allernalive byl lo do so. AuditoV8 responslbllltle8 for the audll of the flnan¢lal statements OLJr objectives are lo obtain reasonable assuran about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI will always delecl a material misstatement when il exists. Misslalemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the a99regale, they could re8sonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalemenls. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect maleiial misslalemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fiaud is delailed below.. We obtsined an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the delerminalion of material amounts and disclosures in the financial slalemenls. The laws anoj regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 together with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice IFRS1D21. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial slalemenls bul compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable compsny's ability lo operate or lo avoid a maleTial penalty. The laws and regulations we considered in this ¢onlext were Employment legislation. Charity Commission regulations and General Data Protection Regulation IGDPRI. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures lo identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspe¢lion of regulatory and legal coriespondence, if any. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the ch8iilable company for fraud. We identified the greatest risk of material impattl on the financial slalements from irregularities, including fraud. to be Ihe overiide of oonlrols by management and income recognition.
Independent Auditor's Report to the Member8 of Dementla Forward In response lo the risk of irregularities and non-(x)mpliance with laws and regulations and risk of fraud, we designed procedures which iluded bul were not limited lo.. sample testing on the posting of journals, liming of recognition of income, review of Iruslee's minutes and any correspondence with regulators.
