WORLD DEMENTIA COUNCIL TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES

The World Dementia Council is a charitable incorporated organisation which was registered with the Charity Commission on 14[th] December 2016.

The objects of the charity are, for the public benefit.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS

The Charity’s income consists exclusively of grant income and was £289,820 (2021: £207,885) for the 12 month period to 31 March 2022. This included £10,817 (2021: £40,295) from government grants, all of which was spent in the period.

Total expenditure in the period was £322,629 (2021: £240,301) which included support costs of £85,890 (2021: £68,088). An overall deficit of £32,810 (2021: £32,416) remains at 31 March 2022, all of which is unrestricted.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The WDC’s mission is to support and challenge the international community on delivering on the 2025 goals. In 2022/23 the Council will continue to focus on its mission in the priority areas of research, awareness & stigma, care and risk reduction through global advocacy, global leadership and building global networks of individuals and organizations committed to improving the lives of people with dementia and their care givers.

GOING CONCERN

The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of at least 12 months from approval of the financial statements. No material uncertainties in relation to the ability of the charity to continue on a going concern basis have been identified by the trustees. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

FUNDRAISING

The charity had no fundraising activities requiring disclosure under S162A of the Charities Act 2011. The Charity accounts comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (Second edition October 2019), other current statutory requirements, and the requirements of the Trust Deed.

WORLD DEMENTIA COUNCIL TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

TRUSTEES’ REMUNERATION AND EXPENSES

During the year the trustees received no remuneration.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the Trustees’ policy to maintain a level of free reserves which provides a stable base for their continuing activities, whilst at the same time ensuring excessive funds are not accumulated and the Trustees have considered satisfactory the level of unrestricted reserves held, which amounted to £84,436 (2021: £117,246) at the end of the year. WDC has a reserves policy of two to four months operating cost.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage them. The Trustees consider that the principal risks relate to the engagement of G7 and G20 governments in developing dementia policy and continued international co-operation to drive forward progress.

The WDC council has over half the countries on the G20 represented round the table. Through working with council members and others we will continue to build strong links with the G7 and G20 to deliver on the mission.

The Covid-19 pandemic has represented potential sources of risks and uncertainty, which has led to a negative impact on the wider economy in the financial year. The trustees have taken appropriate action to mitigate these risks by way of government grants and a reduction of operating expenditures in the period.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law.

4

WORLD DEMENTIA COUNCIL TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and 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. 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.

WORLD DEMENTIA COUNCIL TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WORLD DEMENTIA COUNCIL

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of World Dementia Council (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 18.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner

The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘’the 2011 Act”). The Trustees are satisfied that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts as carried out under section 44 (1) (c) of the 2005 Act and section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland which is one of the listed bodies.

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Charity Information

World Dementia Council is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in England and Wales. It was formed on 14[th] December 2016 and its charity number is 1170743. Its registered office address is 2[nd] Floor, 33 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0PW

The period of these financial statements are from the 1[st] of April 2021 until the year ended 31[st] March 2022 (12 months).

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The functional currency of the charity is considered to be GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the charity operates.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects current and future periods.

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
