The trustees submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 2025. 

## **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** 

Funding has been provided for activities and equipment during the year. 

We have continued to support relatives with help and advice where requested 

## **Summary of the main achievements during the period** 

Funding for a “Magic Table” 

Both “Magic Tables” are in the homes and available to residents. 

(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 develops 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.) 

The equipment for the magic table in Birch Avenue was purchased and installed in March/April 2023. Relatives were eventually invited to see the table working on 15[th] February 2024. Relatives were shown the table and were able to see it in operation. 

We understand that both tables are in frequent use for the benefit of the residents. 

We are indebted to the Freemason’s and family donors who made this possible. Having access to these tables provides a great benefit to our residents. 

## Financing Activities 

We were once again able to provide funding for activities arranged by the staff. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

We will ensure tht the magic tables in both homes are being used to good effect for the benefit of the residents. We continue to provide money for projects which are identified as helping to improve the quality of life for people with severe dementia. We met with several members of staff from Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust in the first quarter of 2024 with a view to expanding the work of our charity for the benefit of the residents. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Charity has free reserves of £4,494 at the end of the year (2024: £5,552). The Charity aims to hold sufficient reserves to pay outstanding creditors which is £NIL (2024: £NIL).
