Bristol Dementia Action Alliance (BDAA) End of year Report, December 2021
History:
Although BDAA only became a CIO in June 2016, it was launched on 9th July 2013 as an enthusiastic, non-profit-making Community Action Group. (We are still enthusiastic!)
Our objective:
Our objective is to make Bristol THE Dementia Friendly City of the UK through the running of Dementia awareness sessions, workshops, and webinars. We use two main tools to do this i.e.
-
Dementia Friends (An Alzheimer’s Society initiative)
-
The Global Purple Angel Campaign.
Becoming a CIO and Governance:
BDAA became a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation in June 2016 with registration number 1167404. It decided to have a Steering Group (Trustees) of up to eight people to set strategy, monitor and review progress.
What have we done in the year June 2020 – May 2021?
This year has again been affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. Our Face-to-face meetings have basically moved to Zoom. However, we have
-
Continued to run on-line Dementia Awareness sessions with adults and children. Due to them being virtual, some sessions have included attendees from all over the UK. We even ran four sessions for an international school in Luxemburg. We didn’t realise Bristol was so big!
-
Run half-day workshops for those in the community who work, or are wanting to work, with people living with dementia and their carers
-
Run three webinars in partnership with BRACE and Alive Activities
-
Networked with other older people’s and Dementia agencies
-
Chaired the Avon & Somerset Dementia Forum, which supports and encourages ALL DAA’s in the area
-
Run a webinar entitled “How to be a Dementia Friendly Church in a Pandemic”.
-
During Lockdown we ceased (temporally) our quarterly newsletter in favour of a weekly BDAA News containing useful information for all our supporters and network.
-
Campaigned on issues relating to people living with dementia and their carers, such as Cure the Care system
-
Kept in touch with our monthly Happy Days Memory Café participants using regular pastoral calls to check that they were ok, had enough food etc and checked their wellbeing.
Finance
Yearly financial figures are attached:
What do we want to do in the next year?
BDAA will continue to do what we’re doing and expand where we can (Covid permitting).
