Finance

The BDAA is a very small charity but an effective one. There has been the recruitment of a volunteer coordinator and a community outreach worker, with grants applied for to cover these investments. In the short term, some of the charity’s reserves have been utilised resulting in an operational deficit of approximately £9500 for this year.

Safeguarding

One safeguarding incident was recorded this year which was dealt with by the safeguarding officer and safeguarding trustee. There was no police involvement.

What do we want to do in the next year?

BDAA will continue to do what it’s doing, plus expanding the Dementia Aware Village project.

Note: Although there are a lot of “villages” in Bristol (with residents very proud of their village), some areas are really “communities”.
