Trustees’ annual report

For the year ended 28 February 2021

The trustees submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2021

Structure, governance and management

The Charity became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 9 March 2015. The Charity became registered with the Charity Commission on this date, number 1160799.

Summary of the objects of the Charity

The objects of the charity are the relief of people affected by dementia by:

1. Supporting them in achieving recognition of their specific needs;

2. Advising their families in order to find appropriate services for them;

3. Ensuring statutory services and other relevant organisations are aware of their needs and the needs of their carers; and

4. Advancing the education of the general public in all areas relating to dementia.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit

This year has been the most difficult year to date for the Charity due to the coronavirus pandemic. We have not had access to the homes due to strict rules on visiting to protect residents. We have therefore been unable to install the second “Magic Table” in Birch Avenue. We have continued to provide help and support to relatives struggling with assessments for Continuing Healthcare; a process made more difficult and impenetrable by the pandemic. We have provided help and funding for activities within the homes in order to enrich the lives of residents.

Summary of the main achievements during the period

Funding for a second “Magic Table”

Thanks to the generosity of the Freemason’s in Sheffield and Derbyshire and donations from families we were in a position to purchase a second “Magic Table” this year.

A Magic Table is a little box that can be mounted on the ceiling above a table within the nursing home. In the box is a high-quality projector, infrared sensors, a speaker and a processor that work together to project games onto the table. Because the colourful objects respond to hand and arm movements, residents can play with the light itself.

The company which supplies the table develop games for specific target groups, such as people with dementia. They believe that play can contribute to everyone’s health and quality

of life. They aim to make play accessible for people living with dementia and in that way, to inspire as many people as possible to have fun and get moving. The Magic Table improves the level of activities in care homes and helps people to live better lives with dementia. It connects older people in the late stage of their dementia journey with each other and their surroundings, all the while stimulating movement. The games can be played both independently and with supervision.

At the beginning of this financial year we were ready to install out second table in Birch Avenue. However, the coronavirus pandemic meant that all contact from outside the homes had to be stopped. This was completely understandable and necessary in order to ensure the safety of our residents. It did mean, however, that we were unable to gain access to the home in order to have the Magic Table installed.

Once restrictions lifted we contacted Birch Avenue and the supplier to begin negotiations about installing the table and we are currently waiting to hear that the project can go ahead. We are keen to bring this project to a conclusion and we remain indebted to the Freemason’s and family donors who made this possible. The provision of these tables is a huge achievement and will be of lasting benefit to our residents.

Funding for Christmas decorations and activities

We were able to provide funding for Christmas decorations and activities in the homes which were arranged by staff and helped to ensure that residents enjoyed the Christmas festivities.

Funding for picture framing

We provided funding to have some pictures framed which had been drawn by a resident so that they could be displayed in the home.

Providing support with Continuing Healthcare assessments

At the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak the rules changed for moving people with dementia into nursing homes. In September the process of assessing and reassessing people for Continuing Healthcare was changed. Many people found this very confusing especially as the meetings regarding the assessments for CHC were held remotely. We have supported relatives who have sought our help through this process. We are still in a position to help relatives mount a legal challenge in the event that any of the residents being evicted from their home.

Plans for future periods

All plans remain on hold due to the coronavirus threat. Our homes are still restricting access to visitors. We do not know when restrictions will be lifted. We do understand that precautions are necessary to protect our residents and prevent the spread of the virus. We need to finalise the installation of the Magic Table in Birch Avenue as soon as practically

possible, which is a reasonably time-consuming task. We will also continue to support relatives regarding Continuing Healthcare assessments when asked. We will continue to raise and provide money for projects which are identified as helping improve the quality of life for people with severe dementia.

Reserves policy

The Charity has free reserves of £4,500 at the end of the year (2020: £5,029). The Charity aims to hold sufficient reserves to pay outstanding creditors which is £770 (2020: £330).
