Attendance by previous and new members has been ongoing throughout the year and we have seen the numbers within the group grow to prepandemic levels and above. We managed to give all the members a much needed Summer outing and a Christmas Lunch in 2022 and included entertainment for them at the group. It was heartily supported by members of the group and provides quality time to form new friendships or re-enforce the friendships they have already made. Dementia does not go away and carers suffer from burn out even more so when they have no support services going in to help them, our group provides a much needed resource for friendship, peer support and learning and advice and information. As a Charity we were delighted with our achievements in 2022 and into 2023, and it continues to be a source of pride and achievement when you can help someone (no matter how small that help is), to regain some control and stability in their life, when they are facing a catastrophic life changing diagnosis. **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Section E Financial review** The Charity is in a strong financial position and has adequate reserves in **Brief statement of the** the bank to fund the charities ongoing activities.
