## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The principal objects are:
- to relieve the needs and to promote and protect the good health of people living with dementia and residing on the Isle of Wight, their families and carers, through the provision of support groups and such other activities, services advice and information as the trustees deem fit; and
- to advance the education of the public about dementia and about care and support for people living with dementia, their families and carers.
## **Public benefit**
The charity's operations provide significant public benefit in the provision of support groups and as an educational resource for the public. The trustees confirm that they have taken account of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning their activities.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
Alzheimer Cafés, on the Isle of Wight, aim to provide accurate information about dementia to people in our communities. By helping reduce misunderstandings and fear about dementia, people living with the disease and their families and carers, will be actively supported to participate in the life of the community as fully as possible with increasingly less stigma.
Our vision is to enable citizens within our community to be aware of and able to helpfully respond to the needs of each other - including people living with dementia - creating a 'dementia friendly' Isle of Wight.
Alzheimer Cafe Isle of Wight is supported by more than fifty compassionate and devoted volunteers who are absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our motto of 'all in the same boat' is upheld for all our guests with understanding, underpinned by education about dementia.
The Dementia Awareness Partnership (DAP) is an Island based initiative developed in partnership with Carers IW, offers a range of services and support to unpaid adult carers. Collectively, the DAP delivers education to spread a better understanding of dementia amongst the wider community. This includes those living with the disease, their carers, the agencies that support people in their own homes, healthcare professionals within the NHS Trust and the IW Council, residential home providers, voluntary organisations, local businesses and interested members of the public and HM Prisons. The DAP’s aim is to give people an understanding of what is meant by the term “dementia”, how the disease develops and how to monitor its progress, what support strategies are appropriate at each stage and how to ensure those living with dementia can continue to lead a full and meaningful life. During 2021 we continued with our plans for a new education programme at St Mary’s Hospital, for staff and volunteers, to support people with dementia and their families when in hospital for treatment.
The ACE’7 group for people with early on-set dementia, continued to meet fortnightly with summer Cafés focused around outdoor activities e.g Sailability during the summer months and information sessions, talks and indoor activity in the winter months. Free transport is provided for all the cafes and the ACE7 groups is co-produced by its members who decide on activity and the programme of activity.
We have a new café in East Cowes which was started by a group of Café volunteers, led by Barry Jackman, expert by experience and in conjunction with the East Cowes Medical Centre GP’s.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE (continued)**
Alzheimer Cafes in Ventnor and Shanklin have been on the move again, to bring them nearer to the people they serve and to ensure there is enough space for them to grow. Ventnor Café has moved to St Wilfred's Parish Room, Trinity Road, Ventnor PO38 1NL and Shanklin Café has been renamed as The Bay Café and moved back to its original and now rebuilt venue at Broadway Centre, 1 Broadway, Sandown PO36 9GG
We were sadly required to close the ‘physical’ cafes due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, during March 2021. However, we embarked upon a series of online ‘webinar’ style groups which were very well supported by people with dementia and their families. We realised that it continues to be possible to meet and support people with understanding and education in other ways than ‘face to face’ which will support our development in the future.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Total receipts for the period amounted to £20,418 (2020: 42,020) and total payments for the period amounted to £42,031 (2020: £57,632). Unrestricted and restricted funds carried forward at the end of the period amounted to £33,369 (2020: £55,477) and £Nil (2020: £Nil) respectively.
## **Reserves policy**
At the year end the charity holds £33,369 (2020: £55,477) of cash reserves all of which are available as free reserves for the unrestricted use of the charity.
If funding is cut without any alternative provider identified to deliver services, then Alzheimer’s Café Isle of Wight would draw down reserves to maintain the project for 6 months, while seeking alternative funding sources, consider restructuring, with closure of the project a last resort. In extreme circumstances, the amount of reserves held needs to be sufficient to enable Alzheimer’s Café Isle of Wight to wind up the operation without leaving creditors. The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability, for example when there is downward pressure on cashflow or when income does not reach expected levels.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity's governing document is its constitution dated 2 February 2017.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
New trustees are elected by the board on a majority vote.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
