**TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(continued)**_ **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

## **DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION** 

## **Dementia Adventure - our purpose, structure and governance** 

**Vision Statement** Dementia Adventure has a vision of society in which people live well with dementia, have contact and connection with nature, and enjoy a sense of adventure. A society where those living with dementia can enjoy a full range of activities, have strong relationships with people in their communities and have access to places connected to their interests, passions and dreams. 

**Mission Statement** Our mission is to enable people living with dementia to get outdoors, connect with nature, themselves and their community, and retain a sense of adventure in their lives. 

**Public Benefit** Dementia Adventure (DA) is a registered charity, and its charitable objects are: 

To relieve the needs of people living with dementia, and their carers, by: 

- Providing or assisting in the provision of holidays, outdoor activities or other support 

- Promoting research into the benefits of activities which assist in furthering these objects and publishing the results of that research. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

**Structure, governance and management** The Trust is a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The charity’s objects and regulations are governed by the constitution dated 17 August 2015. The charity has a wholly owned, now dormant subsidiary, Dementia Adventure Community Interest Company, that came under the control of the charity on 31 October 2016. As we have gone into the new financial year, the board of trustees made the decision to strike off the Community Interest Company and this is currently in progress. 

Trustees are selected with regards to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the organisation. The trustees may appoint new trustees pursuant to the constitution. Trustees serve for three years and can serve up to three terms. Trustees select new trustees and elect a chair and vice-chair. Trustees complete a thorough induction process. Trustees attend training opportunities with the DA team and with nationally recognised bodies such as NCVO and are supported to volunteer/participate in supporting the adventure holidays and other support activities to understand the direct impact of the work of the charity. 

The Board of Trustees has responsibility for directing the affairs of DA, ensuring it delivers its objectives, is solvent, and well run. The board is a strategic body that delegates operational

management to the Chief Executive Officer who in turn is supported by further staff including a Senior Management Team, and volunteers. 

DA has an objective that no member of staff works full time, and the maximum hours worked per week by each individual is 30. The staff team includes four team members directly supporting the delivery of training and consultancy activities and four directly supporting the delivery of adventures. The remainder of the team provides administration, financial management, fundraising, HR, office and facilities management, volunteering coordination, and communications support to enable all activities to reach and benefit more people. 

Volunteers are crucial to the success of the delivery of the activities of our charity but the pandemic had a significant impact on how they were able to do that this year. However, we were pleased to be able to keep half of the 80 volunteers active in a range of roles; online and telephone support for holidaymakers, governance, fundraising and administration. The volunteers contributed 1,251 hours of their time representing £18,000 of added value and we are very grateful to them all. 

**Overview of the past year** 2020 was not the year that any of us had anticipated, and the pandemic has changed many aspects of our lives. We have adapted to new challenges and limitations. We have learned to appreciate what is truly valuable and important. The impact was far reaching not only for our work but for our staff and volunteer teams. 

There was fluctuation in staff numbers and working hours during the year but the introduction of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (furlough) allowed us to retain all staff members by placing some of them on furlough. At the start of the year we had 20 staff working the full time equivalent (FTE) of 12.58 staff. When the lockdowns started we placed eight staff on furlough and we ended the financial year with 18 staff working the 8.49 FTE as four staff were still on furlough. 

**Impact of our work** Now, more than ever, a growing number of people understand the powerful benefits of engaging with nature and the outdoors for both our mental and physical wellbeing. Covid-19 has disproportionately affected people with dementia and their families, and lockdown has had a 'negative impact' on their mental health, with many feeling isolated and anxious. People have lost confidence and motivation during the pandemic and are worried they are losing abilities and skills. Thanks to support of individuals and funders, including the Players of People's Postcode Lottery, we have been able to adapt our services, enabling people to continue to connect socially, receive practical information and support, and to find the resilience to connect with nature and their local communities. Getting outside, even for a short time, has a hugely positive effect on people living with dementia, including improved sleep, appetite, speech and reduced stress, anxiety and loneliness. It can even slow down the progression of the disease. It

is vitally important that we continue to support people with dementia and their families to connect with nature and the outdoors. This has been a challenge while Government guidelines have been advising us to stay home. Although this situation has been difficult, it has fast tracked the development of new ways of working. Through our adapted digital training and support we have reached over 3,000 people this year and as we continue to evolve, we hope to support many more people in 2021 and beyond. 

## **Our objectives for 2020** 

## **Holidays (Adventures)** 

- Sustaining our standards of operational excellence on our UK holiday delivery programme – ensuring we have sufficient funds, resources, locations and guests to deliver consistently excellent standards of supported holidays and short breaks across the UK 

- Development of diversity within DA beneficiaries and locations 

- Development of practical offers with partner organisations to broaden the future diversity of holiday clients 

## **Training & Support** 

- Identify and secure appropriate funding to deliver projects to a consistently and measurably high quality 

- Identify and create partnerships with complementary organisations to improve community cohesion and sustainability within the geographic reach of our current holiday and training locations 

- Develop and revise our current training products to ensure we have sustainable, flexible and scalable products 

- Provide learning experiences that enable and encourage feedback and evidence building 

## **Research, Evaluation and Impact Measurement** 

- Embed research and evaluation in all projects to better understand the short and long term impact of what we do - incorporating external evaluation through trusted partnerships 

- Maximise the assessment tools available to gather quantitative and qualitative data from all activities and engagements to better understand and share the impact of our activities 

4 



## **DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(continued)**_ **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

- Maximise our use of systems, processes, software and technology to effectively gather larger, more reliable and more consistent data sets to be able to clearly and publicly demonstrate impact – incorporating online data collection, new data collection and automation/AI 

- Offer information, opportunities and support to academic organisations in the development of appropriate and relevant research 

## **Funding and Investment** 

- Expand our diversity of income and funders for future sustainability 

- Develop an effective communication strategy to ensure that key messages and objectives are embedded across the organisation 

- Maximise the effectiveness and value of all existing resources to ensure investment is used wisely and transparently 

## **Volunteering** 

- Develop and expand the recruitment, training and support of volunteers to support every area of the organisation whilst maintaining holiday volunteer 

- Increase the resources to support the wider engagement and development of volunteers ● Build on the success of Special Interest Group (SIG) – attracting and supporting more people with dementia and their family carers to inform, guide and be DA ambassadors 

## **Our activities in 2020** 

**Supported adventures** Following Government guidelines, we were only able to deliver three supported dementia holidays over the year. Covid-19 led to the cancellation of our other holidays.  We felt it important, however, to provide our holidaymakers a means to stay connected even though they could not go on a Dementia Adventure holiday. So, in place of the holidays, we achieved the following: 

- Filled 391 places on 51 Virtual Tea & Chat sessions. For many, these provided a lifeline and a really important way to share stories and give hints and tips to the other people on the call. 

- 96 Check in and Chat Phone Calls. Our trained volunteers made phone calls to those who didn't have access to the internet. 

**Supported local outdoor experiences** People with dementia and their carers told us they had lost confidence and motivation during lockdown. We offered supported days out to help build confidence in leaving the house, so people could enjoy the wellbeing benefits of nature on their

doorstep. The programme empowered people to continue to get outdoors without our support. We had to navigate constantly changing restrictions across the UK and the programme was limited. 

We continued to work in local communities facilitating partner organisations to increase the local provision of ‘dementia inclusive’ outdoor activities. For example, prior to lockdown, in partnership with Rutland County Council, Rutland Admiral Nurse Service and the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, we delivered five Time in Nature sessions at Rutland Water Nature Reserve. People with dementia and their main family supporter enjoyed multi-sensory outdoor activities including visits to the bird hides, roasting chestnuts on the firepit, exploring the bird hides, weaving willow and just enjoying being outside. 

**Support for families and individuals through training** Families tell us that post diagnosis they are not given the information they need. Improving knowledge and understanding of dementia can help carers cope and improve their ability to support the person they are looking after. The arrival of Covid-19 fast-forwarded our adaptation of these events into online Dementia Skills Sessions. In 2020 we delivered 40 Dementia Skills Sessions reaching 603 attendees. The programme was based on our core module: Thinking Differently About Dementia. For many family carers, this was often the first support people had received, with 85% having minimal or no contact with other support services. 

Impact of our programme of Dementia Skills Sessions: 

- 96% had an increased understanding of how to support someone living with dementia 

- 92% had a more positive understanding of dementia 

- 8 out of 10 felt more confident about ways to engage with nature and outdoors 

- Two thirds felt less isolated 

- 95% had more knowledge of the information and support available 

- 8 in 10 felt better able to cope with their situation in general 

- Nearly half said it has made them better able to cope with Covid-19 situation 

We opened the sessions to professionals working with people with dementia. This offered them an invaluable opportunity to develop their knowledge of dementia and hear the experiences of family carers. 

**Training for professionals** As the pandemic progressed, many organisations needed help to adapt their services to the new 'normal. We developed Time in Nature, a training session for individuals and organisations with an interest in supporting people with dementia to access nature and the outdoors. We delivered seven of these sessions.

## **DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(continued)**_ **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

Impact of our programme of Time in Nature Sessions: 

- 96% had a better understanding of the benefits of outdoor activity for people with dementia 

- 96% had increased confidence to support nature connection and outdoor experiences for people with dementia 

- 89% planned to make recommendations to their organisation about how they can better support carers and people living with dementia 

**Training for organisations** Our objective is to upskill and build confidence in individuals and organisations. We show people how ‘thinking differently about dementia’ is a catalyst to increasing the availability and impact of nature-based, positive risk-taking activities for people living with dementia. In 2020 we: 

- Trained and supported 2,012 individuals 

- Adapted our delivery into online sessions 

We worked with the Methodist Homes Association to develop a tailored programme of online training to enable their staff to support people living with dementia and their friends and families. Methodist Homes Association (MHA) is a charity with over 75 years' experience of delivering care and support for older people across the UK. They currently support over 18,500 people across their care homes and retirement communities, many of whom are living with dementia. As well as delivering multiple 'Thinking Differently About Dementia' and 'Time in Nature' training sessions, we also developed an activity booklet with practical suggestions of how to connect and communicate with individuals with dementia and how to encourage engagement with nature through multi-sensory activities. 

Dementia Adventure led a successful three-year partnership project ending in November 2020, funded by the National Lottery Community fund. The main aim of this project was to give people living with dementia the opportunity and support to access the natural environment, with the associated benefits to health and wellbeing. This was achieved through delivering a tailored package of training and support called ‘Dementia Adventure in a Box’ for partner organisations to help them deliver outdoor adventure activities for people with dementia locally. This included both making existing activities more inclusive (and dementia friendly) and developing some exclusively designed for people with dementia. As well as the Methodist Homes Association, we worked with The Conservation Volunteers, Social Farms & Gardens and Abbeyfield.  Over a three-year period, a total of 64 delegates were involved across 44 locations and the training and support was positively received, highly rated and considered very effective in many ways, including the ability to promote a positive approach to risk taking.

**DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(continued)**_ **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

Activities were set up for people living with dementia as a direct result of the training and support: 

- 913 activity sessions were held (164 one-off sessions and 779 sessions as part of 33 different activity series) against a target of 1,152 

- 3,072 people attended activities against a target of 2,034 

A wide range of activities took place, including nature walks, gardening, farm activities, visits to garden centres, visits to gardens, visits to the beach, woodland activities, gardening. Participants enjoyed the activities for a number of reasons, particularly the fact that they took place outdoors and were relaxed and informal. The personalised nature of the activities was also valued, which meant that they were meaningful and helped maintain a sense of identity. 

There was strong evidence of positive impacts for people living with dementia and carer: 

- Taking part improved overall wellbeing and mood for people taking part 

- There was a significant improvement in the mental wellbeing of people following the attendance at a session (16% for family carers, 18% for participants with dementia). 

**Research and evaluation** As mentioned above, 2020 saw the successful completion of the three year ‘Dementia Adventure in a Box’ project.  The evaluation was led by the Association for Dementia Studies at the University of Worcester, with specialist support from the Green Exercise Research Team at the University of Essex. This evaluation culminated in the publication of a full evaluation report which confirmed the importance of connecting with nature for people living with dementia and concluded that the project achieved the overarching project outcome of ‘People living with dementia are given opportunities and support to access the natural environment, leading to improved health and wellbeing.’ 

In November, a panel of experts presented the findings around the impact of the project and our key successes and learning during a Dementia Adventure webinar attended by over 120 delegates, predominantly professionals. Delegates also heard directly from people with dementia, who were involved in the project, about the benefits of connecting with nature **.** 

We also contributed to the Carers UK research and insight project looking into how carers over the age of 55 in England can be supported to be more physically active as a way to look after their own health and wellbeing and reduce loneliness and social isolation.  The results will be published mid 2021. 

During 2020, our research focused on strengthening our own impact assessment.  We commissioned an independent evaluation partner, Cornish & Grey (with support from the Mercers Company), to create an evaluation framework and evaluation tools for our programme of Dementia Skills Sessions.  This has enabled us to effectively demonstrate the impact of our work and to learn and adapt as the project progressed.  We look forward to developing this evaluation partnership further.

**Fundraising and investment to increase our reach & awareness** We could not have got through this challenging year without our amazing supporters.  And despite this difficult year for fundraising, for every £1 spent, we generated £10. From our long standing partners including the People’s Postcode Lottery who have provided flexible and consistent support, to the new funders that have helped us to keep supporting people with dementia and their families throughout the pandemic. We are incredibly grateful to all our 38 funders including charitable trusts and foundations, community groups and corporates as well as the numerous individuals who take on fundraising to help us support people living with dementia. 

One of our most successful investments in 2020 was a new Customer Relations Management (CRM) system.  This is already proving its worth with significant process improvements and efficiencies, a small but increasing growth in individual giving and improved communication with our supporters. 

**Looking ahead** The global pandemic of Covid-19 and the associated social distancing restrictions dramatically changed the way that we delivered services during 2020 and planned for 2021. 

Lockdown has disproportionately affected people with dementia. Nearly half of respondents to a 2020 Alzheimer’s Society survey (45%) said that lockdown has had a ‘negative impact’ on their mental health. Around half of carers reported that loved ones have experienced stress, anxiety or depression. It is still vitally important that people living with dementia and their carers are supported to connect with nature and the outdoors, yet many have lost confidence and motivation during the period of lockdown and social distancing restrictions. For this reason, our services and outreach to people living with dementia have never been more important. 

Many of our services have successfully moved into a digital offer to reach and benefit many people with the potential for these services to reach approximately 10% of the 850,000 people living with dementia. For the time being, our residential Adventures will continue to be limited in supply but more person-centred. We will pilot ‘Out & About’ non-residential Adventures to complement our existing offer.  Our range of training offerings will also be further developed. 

Our strategy for growth will include training, support and community development activities being geographically aligned to both our head office location and the holiday locations/regions in order to target our national reach, whilst deepening community connections in those locations and building on existing partnerships. Some of our funding will be further invested in research to assess the impact of our services on our beneficiaries and ways in which we can meet their needs better and serve a greater population of those living with dementia and their carers.

**DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(continued)**_ **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

**Financial review** Although our ability to run adventures was severely impacted by the pandemic, this was in part offset by an increase in unrestricted grants. We secured grant funding to expand our online training delivery.  Overall the total income of the Charity was £739,175 (2019: £1,018,646), total expenditure was £565,213 (2019: £879,313) with a resulting surplus of £184,911 after also including investment gains of £10,949. There was an associated reduction in expenditure due to not being able to run our usual adventures programme. 

The closing funds of £675,843 includes general free reserves of £617,735 alongside restricted funds of £58,108. During the last year the Trustees have reviewed our reserves policy and decided to further invest some of the reserves we hold for exceptional circumstances (as detailed in the reserves policy below) in order for us to offset the effect of inflation on these reserves. This year, these investments have generated a return of £10,949 (8%). Actions taken to mitigate the impact of the pandemic mean that we remain confident that we can meet any short-term and medium-term financial needs.  This gives us security and leaves us well placed to plan for the longer term. 

The majority of the Trust’s income is generated through voluntary and charitable means including: 

- The contribution of clients towards the cost of our adventures 

- Funding from charitable trusts and foundations 

- Fundraising through community events, challenges, corporate and major donors and individual giving, including In Memory donations and legacies. 

Whilst people living with dementia and their carers pay a contribution to the costs of the holidays, these costs are subsidised by DA. Our training and online support are offered free of charge to people living with dementia and their carers. 

We appreciate the support of all of our grant funders and in particular their willingness to support core operations through the pandemic leaving us well placed to scale up delivery in the coming year.

## **DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION TRUSTEES' REPORT** _**(continued)**_ **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

**Reserves Policy** DA is keen to secure its long-term viability and become financially and socially sustainable so that we can benefit greater numbers of people living with dementia.  In order to be able to provide reliable services over the long term, remain innovative and absorb setbacks, maximise opportunities and, effectively reserve against future uncertainties, DA will build up and then hold back an appropriate level of funds as reserves for: 

- a) Unforeseen Emergencies – the risk of this or other unexpected need for funds, e.g. replacement of IT or other equipment or an unexpected expenditure such as legal or professional costs 

- b) Operational Core Costs - to pay the core staff salaries for up to 3 to 6 months and for unforeseen day-to-day operational costs, e.g. employing temporary staff to cover long-term sickness absence, maternity leave or parental leave 

- c) Low Income - funds might be needed to maintain working capital or to give the organisation time to take action if income falls below expectations, e.g., if a grant is not being renewed or to repay any grant monies to a funder or non-payment by a customer 

- d) Budget Deficits - the need to fund short-term deficits in a cash budget, e.g., money that may need to be spent before a major grant is received 

- e) Closure of Business – costs incurred in the event that DA is wound down including meeting redundancy  costs, loans, hire agreements and associated legal and accountancy expenses and to repay in full any monies owing to other parties. 

DA aims to hold free reserves to adequately cover 3 to 6 months operating costs taking into account: 

- risks associated with all income streams and expenditure being different from that budgeted 

- planned activity level, and 

- commitments of the organisation. 

Unrestricted free reserves, excluding those tied up in fixed assets, are currently in place to the value of £581,116 (see note 15) which represents 11.5 months of the 2020/21 budgeted operating costs. Due to the exceptional circumstances created by the pandemic and uncertainty around the fundraising climate, the Trustees have taken the decision to hold higher reserves to enable us to scale up operations as restrictions ease.

## **Financial Investments powers and policy** 

Under the terms of the charity’s governing documents, the charity has the power to invest in any way the Trustees wish. The Trustees have agreed on an investment policy, which was reviewed during the year and updated in part. In considering the investment policy, the Trustees place much emphasis on the need to invest in financial products that are ethical in nature having regard to the objects of the charity. To demonstrate the ethical and responsible requirements of the charity as balanced against the need to ensure that the charity's investments generate income to contribute to the running costs of the charity, the salient parts of the investment policy are as follows: 

- Short term investments will be held in an instant access savings account 

- Long term investments will be made ethically and will be spread over many areas. 

## **Trustees' responsibilities statement** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these 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 2019 (FRS 102) 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

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

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

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2020 which are set out on pages 15 to 28. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

## **Organisational status** 

The charity was registered on 17 August 2015 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) (registered number 1163163) to take forward the work of the unincorporated charity, The Dementia Adventure Trust, registered number 1152315. The assets, liabilities and funds of the previous unincorporated charity were transferred to the CIO on its date of registration. 

Dementia Adventure Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

The members of the charity are the trustees named on page 1. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in their assessment of the charity’s ability to prepare accounts as a going concern. Because of the uncertainties surrounding the effects of the economic slowdown it is difficult to predict the impact on the charity and its beneficiaries, but having taken all the factors into account, the trustees are of the opinion that the charity has sufficient resources to continue operating for the next 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. 

## **Income** 

## **Donations and legacies** 

All monetary donations and gifts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable, provided that there are no donor-imposed restrictions as to the timing of the related expenditure, in which case recognition is deferred until the pre-condition has been met. 

Donations under Gift Aid, together with associated income tax recoveries, are credited as income when donations are receivable.

## **DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**(continued)**_ 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

Legacies are included when the charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that payment will be made, if the receipt is both certain and measurable.  These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Grant income** 

Revenue grants are credited as income when they are receivable, provided conditions for receipt have been complied with, unless they relate to a specified future period, in which case they are deferred. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense catagories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.  Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated based upon pro rata to staff full time equivalents. 

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **Tax status** 

Dementia Adventure Trust is a registered charity and is not subject to corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Fixed assets are shown at original cost or, if donated, at their value on the date of the gift, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off their cost or value, less their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives on the following basis: 

Fixtures and fittings - 33.33% straight line Motor vehicles - 12.50% reducing balance Equipment - 33.33% straight line 

## **Investments** 

Investments in subsidiaries held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any permanent diminution in value. 

## **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. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**(continued)**_ 

## **DEMENTIA ADVENTURE TRUST CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION** 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 

## **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 charity 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. 

Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits. 

## **Defined contribution plans** 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. 

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.  The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.  The aim and the use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

## **Operating leases** 

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
