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 eXperIen￿d 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.

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 fO￿ard 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.
Trustees Review
Statement of Trustees responslbllltles
The purpose of Ihls slalemenl is lo distinguish the Trustees. lalso the directors of the Charilyl
responsibilities for the financial statements from those of the auditors as slated in their report for the
year ended 31 March 2024.
Company and charity law require the Trustees to prepare financial slalemenls which give a true and
fair view of the Charitable Company's slate of affairs al the end of ils financial activities for that year.
In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to..
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
Make judgements and eslimales that are reasonable and prudent.,
Slate whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject lo any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial stslements.
Piepare the financial slalemenls on the going concern basis unless11 Is inappropriate to
assume that the Charitable Company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which Llisclose with reasonable
accuracy al any lime the financial position of the Charitable Company and enables them lo ensure
that the financial slalemenls comply with the Companies Act 21Xi6 and applicable charity law. They
are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and hen￿ for lakirvJ
reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the Trustees are aware..
There is no relevant infomation of which the Charitable Company's auditor is unaware., and
The Trustees have taken all steps that they ought lo have taken lo make themselves aware of
any relevant audit information and lo establish that the auditor is aware of that.

At the time of writing the year-end report the
role of Chair is vacant and this report is
presented by the 2 Vice Chairs of the board.
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.

Structure of the Charity
We are governed by a passionate and skilled board of Trustees who bring experience of health
and social care, care homes, strategy, policy, data management, finan￿ and business, human
resources, diversity and health and safety. The board is actively supporting the need for growlh
and heavily involved in the design and implementation of the evolving seNices. Skills audits
are carried out so that gaps can be identified and filled accordingly. There is a robust
recruitment and induction for Trustees. Each Trustee has a specific role according to their skill
set and works closely with the relevant operational leader- these are broken down into finance,
HR, remuneration. estates and H&S, planning and services. Remuneration decisions are made
annually by the HR and remuneration Trustees and ratified by the whole board.
The Senior Leadership team introduced in the previous year has served to make the
infrastructure of the charity more robust. The roles cover operations, support services, clinical
seNices, community engagement and Young Onset dementia. These roles are managed by
the CEO. Teams are then divided into Demenlia Support Advisors, Helpline and
Administration, Memory Support Advisors, Dementia Activity Workers and Community Liaison,
which includes training and fundraising.

This vital seNice supports our aim of avoiding crisis.
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.

Ihe City of York. This part of our service is
commissioned by health and social care and at the
lime of writing this we receive an average of 160 new referrals every month.
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.

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.

Dementia Specialist Nurse
We are fortunate to have one Demenlia Specialist Nurse as part of our Senior Leadership
Team. This gives our staff access to expert guidance when we have particularly complex
cases, but in addition it gives us a conduit be￿een 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.

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 OU￿ard 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.

Wellbeing cafés and group work
Our Wellbeing Cafés run in 9 locations every week and in addition
we now run 3 Brain Health Cafes. 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.

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.

Dementia .
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 serVI￿S 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. Whilst every effort is made to maintain the flow of work. regular reviews and
conversations with commissioners involve re designing and flexing in order to achieve the best
possible outcome with the limited resource.

Indopendgnt Audltor's Report to the Memb8rs of Demontia Fonward
Opinion
We have audited the financial slalemenls of Dementia Fotward for the year ended 31 March

the charitable company's ability lo continue as a going concern for a period of al least ￿e1ve

OUT iesponsibility is lo read the olhei information and, in doing so. consider whether the other
information is materially inconsislenl with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained
in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misslaled. 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

advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the trustees, report.
Responslbilitle8 of tru8tee8
As explained more fully in the Iruslees, responsibilities slalemenl set out on page 3. the
trustees Iwho are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company
lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial slalemenls and for being satisfied that
they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Iruslees determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misslalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error.

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 i￿luded 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalements is located
