## **INTRODUCTION FROM OUR CHAIR OF TRUSTEES** 


Dear Supporters and Stakeholders, 

I am delighted to present our annual report for the year 2022-2023, and it is my privilege to serve as the Chair of Trustees for Younger People With Dementia CIO (YPWD). This document is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment of our charity to fulfil our mission and meet the needs of the communities we serve. 

Over the past year, within which we enjoyed celebrating being in operation for ten years, YPWD has continued to navigate through uncharted waters, facing unprecedented challenges while pursuing our vision to influence a world where younger people with dementia are included and involved in every aspect of life without discrimination or stigma. It is during such times that the true strength of our charity and our collective resolve become most apparent. In the following pages, you will find an overview of our 

achievements, milestones and the impact we've made on the lives of those we exist to support. Our mission is not a solitary journey but a collective effort, and it is our belief in the power of community and collaboration that drives us forward. 

As Chair of Trustees, I am immensely proud of our dedicated board, staff, volunteers, and our ever-supportive donor community. The work we do would be impossible without the expertise, passion, and commitment of all those involved.

## **INTRODUCTION FROM DIRECTOR OF CLINICAL & OPERATIONAL SERVICES** 

We are pleased to present to you the Annual Report of Younger People With Dementia CIO (YPWD) for the financial year ending 31 March 2023. This report provides an overview of our performance, achievements and our future strategic direction. 

Having entered our eleventh year of operation, it is still humbling to see the impact that our services have on those living with young onset dementia. The team have been excellent at ensuring that we continue to work on our mission to support those living with young onset dementia through meaningful activity, respite, education and support groups. The year has also included us working in partnership with a film company about the story of someone living with young onset dementia “If Not Now, When?”, written by Nick Tree, it has seen us embrace the challenge of reducing health inequalities and also recognise and start to address the challenges faced by children of a parent with young onset dementia. 

As with all charities, it has been a challenging financial year, but we have maintained our service delivery and indeed expanded our reach. Our thanks go out to our funders, corporate sponsors, donors and fundraisers which have made this possible. 

As we move forward, we remain dedicated to our core values, our mission, and our vision for the future. Our strategic plan for the coming year is ambitious, and we are excited to share this with you in this report. Once again, we thank you for your ongoing support – we really couldn’t do it without you. 

Yours sincerely,

## **OUR IMPACT & HIGHLIGHTS** 


## During the year we have delivered... 

## **Activity-based 562 Workshops** 

**131** 

## **One to one Support Sessions** 

Our activity-based workshops have included art & crafts, furniture restoration, golf, photography and racket sports. These ran across Berkshire and Surrey Heath. 

Our charity offer one to one support sessions for a limited time period to ease the transition for those we support into a group setting, helping to build confidence & trust. 

## **NATIONAL TRUST DAY TRIPS** 

From June to July (22), our team in Berkshire planned six weeks of day trips to National Trust venues. Each week our support workers welcomed attendees at our office base in Wokingham, where we all boarded a minibus to each location. Visits included Greenham Common located in West Berkshire, Cliveden House in Taplow, Saville Gardens in Virginia Water, The Vyne in Basingstoke, Hughenden Manor in Buckinghamshire and Basildon Park. 

Our Trustee David who volunteered his support these day trips commented: _“For me the reward comes from seeing the enjoyment of the group, the real pleasure of being in the open air, enjoying good company and helping attendees to get the most that they can from these activities. Lovely people having a lovely time with no inhibitions or sense of isolation._ ”

## **NOTABLE EVENTS** 

“All Together Now” events were first introduced in the charity with the aim of bringing together our service users and their loved ones. Our charity ran a number of events in 2022 and 2023 which included an afternoon tea, beach trip, visit to Windsor, Halloween Party and Christmas Concert. We also attended a pantomime together. 


## **COLOUR RUSH RUN** 

## _**May 2022**_ 

Some of our team in Berkshire, Amy, Debbie, Erin, Jenny, Jess & Karen were joined by Caitlin and Sarah to complete the Colour Rush Obstacle Course to raise funds for YPWD. They had a blast participating in the 5K event at Windsor Racecourse. 


## **10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY** 

## _**June 2022**_ 

2022 marked our 10-year anniversary and to celebrate this milestone, the charity put on a public, family-friendly event at the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading, with the aim of bringing together all of our supporters. 


The event consisted of performances from our Berkshire and Surrey Heath dementia choirs and offered taster workshops and refreshments. Alongside this we put together an art gallery, showcasing the amazing artwork of those we support. There were also information stands and talks led by our Admiral Nurses.

## **NOTABLE EVENTS** 

## **BBC VISIT** _**June 2022**_ 

## **Appearance on ‘Our Dementia Choir’** 

Line of Duty star Vicky McClure came to visit South Street Theatre in Reading, where our Berkshire choir practice each week. They were also joined by the YPWD Surrey Heath choir this week, showcasing the charity as a whole. We then appeared in the first episode of BBC’s ‘Our Dementia Choir Sings Again’ which aired on Monday 10th of October 2022. During the episode, Vicky McClure spoke to YPWD staff and highlighted what _“a brilliant system is in place. This is changing people’s lives. The fact that they are supported by the NHS... is the obvious thing we need.”_ 



## **CONNECTING CARERS** _**December 2022**_ 

In every break week from our programme of activity-based workshops, YPWD run connecting carers groups which gives carers an oppurtunity to come together with shared experiences. While their group takes place, our team of support workers deliver an activity for their loved one with dementia. An example of one of these took place In December, we brought these two groups together to run a Christmas celebraton. Our team delivered jacket potatos for each attendee with their choice of toppings and sides, hot chocolates with cream and marshmallows and ran Christmas quizzes. It was lovely to get together and get into the Christmas spirit, singing Christmas songs and wearing Christmas jumpers.

## **NOTABLE EVENTS** 

## **CHRISTMAS CONCERT** _**December 2022**_ 

Our first Christmas Concert since before the COVID-19 pandemic was a success, and featured guest performances from Rocket Kings & Bill Buckley from BBC Radio Berkshire. The YPWD Berkshire (Harmony) and YPWD Surrey Heath (Sunshine) Choirs sounded amazing and were excited to showcase what they had been working on. In the interval, we offered a glass of complimentary prosecco, mulled wine, or a hot drink. 

The raffle prizes included tickets to Windsor Castle, an Afternoon Tea, some lovely toiletry sets and bottles of bubbly. We had many happy winners of these donated prizes. 



## **VALENTINE’S MEAL** _**February 2023**_ 

Our first social event of the year was a Mexican themed event including a three-course meal for 50 people. Our team were kitted out in full Mexican gear to add to the aesthetics of the evening, wearing sombreros, colourful ponchos and the biggest of moustaches. Guests were welcomed and photographed at the photo booth station. There was a vast choice of props and moustaches to play around with before moving on to the drinks station. Entertainment for the evening was provided by the amazing band Good Company who played a choice of popular songs which got everybody up and dancing. Guests were serenaded by our team using guitars and ukeleles, dressed as Mariachis head to toe.

## **NOTABLE EVENTS** 

## **CHILDREN’S PROJECT** 

## _**Throughout 2022-23**_ 

Working alongside The Museum of English Rural Life and Admiral Nurses we delivered support for children with a parent that has been diagnosed with young onset dementia. Sessions were delivered on a regular basis to children aged between 6 and 20 years of age. Each session had an activity included within it, from willow weaving to art. The sessions enabled children that are living in similar situations to come together and access peer support in a safe environment. This project has been and will continue to be researched by the University of Reading. The research element enables us to understand what works, what doesn’t and how to ensure the sustainability of the project. 



## **FILM PROJECT** _**Throughout 2023**_ 

During the period we were proud to be a part of the making of the film, “If Not Now, When?”, starring Kate Dickie. This was filmed in February 2023 on location on the Island of Easdale. Nick Tree, Writer and Director, shared that writing this film about a woman living with young onset dementia was very close to his heart, as his grandfather lived with dementia himself. It was very important to the film crew that the portrayal of somebody living with a young onset dementia diagnosis was executed accurately and with care, which is where our charity came in to help support the film project. We are very much looking forward to seeing the results on our film screens later on in the year.

## **IMPACT STORIES: RICHARD AND LYNNE** 

_**“A lot of the things he’s done at the workshops, he would never have tried before dementia.”**_ 


Richard is one of the beneficiaries of the activity-based workshops run by Younger People with Dementia (YPWD). Over the past year he has attended katakanuing, golf, choir, day trips to National Trusts, visits to Windsor Castle, farm visits which included cooking, walking and animal therapy. Below his wife Lynne talks about Richard’s diagnosis and outlines the benefits of the support they have received from our charity. 

“We’ve been part of YPWD for the last three years and we’ve been married 50 years. Richard was diagnosed three and a half years ago, but I predicted that Richard had dementia a long time before he was diagnosed. Richard retired at 60 and very soon after that, I noticed that there was something not right. He’d be doing silly things like hiding things, putting things in different places, forgetting things and repeating things a lot. He was getting frustrated all the time, and so it was little things like that, which on their own don’t seem like much. I never thought it would happen to us. Richard was getting more and more anxious over stuff, forgetting where he’d put keys, and it was just a series of very small things. I made a couple of trips to our doctor to talk about it and they said I needed to persuade Richard to come in with me, but he was very resistant because he remembered what happened to his mum and grandma, who both lived with young onset dementia. Eventually we did go to the doctor, they did some memory tests, and they said they thought we should go along to the memory clinic. Richard was diagnosed there and then. It wasn’t a shock and yet it was, to have somebody actually say it to you. 

We were then introduced to YPWD and we’ve been with them ever since. I got to meet all of the other carers in the same situation, which was great because you feel isolated, you feel like the bottom has dropped out of your world, as you really don’t know what’s going to happen. YPWD has been a saviour to us both. Richard goes to a lot of workshops; he’s been in the choir from the beginning and now he does all sorts of things. He loves all the physical activities but some of the other things he would never have tried, and he really has enjoyed them. YPWD, I’d recommend it to anyone. I think in a strange way we’re very lucky people because so many people going through this have got no support. We just want to say thank you very much to YPWD for everything, it’s our life-line.“

## **VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: STUART** 

_**“During my wife's illness, she and I received much support from YPWD. I now want to give back.”**_ 


Our long-time supporter Stuart has been volunteering for our organisation for a number of years, helping our team in supporting people with a young onset dementia diagnosis at workshops around Berkshire and Surrey Heath. 

“During my wife's illness, she and I received much support from YPWD and from its current staff before it was formally a charity. I now want to help as much as I can, volunteering and raising money. I will be eternally grateful to those staff and to the charity for the help and support they provided over many years. So having experienced first-hand the benefits that the charity offers, I have a great interest in helping it to succeed and prosper. Being a volunteer means that I can help with that in a small way, it also helps me to say thank you.” 

Stuart has also participated in multiple events over the years, pushing himself to the limit to raise money for our charity. In October 2022, Stuart ran in the London Marathon, raising an amazing £1,000 for YPWD. Below he talks about his experience completing this fundraiser, highlighting the benefits of getting involved for future participants. 

“There are few feelings so great as crossing the finish line of a marathon. A huge feeling of personal satisfaction and pride in one's achievement. All the pain and suffering of the 26 miles is forgotten. You can stop running, pause the watch, collect the all-important medal, get a drink, soak up the praises from spectators and other runners, and start thinking about the next one. All the training of the previous few months has been worth it. My advice is just go running. It does not have to be a full marathon; a half is good, as is a 10k and even a 5k Park Run on a Saturday morning. The personal benefits are great and if you can raise money for YPWD along the way, all well and good. I want to see us succeed now and in the future, and that means getting in the necessary funds to enable us to continue our work. If we do not do that, we cannot continue to help those who need our help.” 

We cannot thank Stuart enough for the work he has done for our charity, in volunteering and in his fundraising work.

## **IMPACT STORIES: MIKE AND SYLVIA** 

_**“The friends I have made through YPWD keep me going through the difficult days.”**_ 


Mike is one of the beneficiaries of the activity-based workshops run by our charity. Over the years Mike has attended multiple different activities with our organisation, including circus skills, choir, walking groups and arts & crafts. His wife Sylvia also receives support at our Connecting Carers Groups and the couple enjoy attending our social events. 

Below Sylvia talks about how they met, life before and after Mike’s dementia diagnosis and the support they have received from our charity. 

“Mike & I grew up in opposite corners of the same cul-de-sac but weren’t aware of each other until I was about 18. He was my first boyfriend and we soon discovered we were soulmates. In 1978 we bought our first house and got engaged, planning to fix up the house before getting married in 1980. However, tragedy struck in 1979 when Mike had an horrific motorcycle accident. He suffered major head trauma and had to undergo an emergency operation to release a blood clot on the brain. It was touch and go for a while, but he made a miraculous recovery, surprising all the medical staff who expected him to be permanently incapacitated even if he survived the operation. One year on, apart from some spectacular scars and minor eyesight issues, there were no noticeable aftereffects. 

We had many very happy years of marriage, but Mike was never able to hold down a job for very long which with hindsight was almost certainly down to the unseen damage done by the accident. Around 2015 he started losing the ability to do things like DIY, starting projects as he had always done but not being able to finish them and making silly mistakes. He also had short term memory lapses, such as forgetting to pick me up from the station after work. It started so gradually that I didn’t really notice the changes until other people started commenting on his behaviour. 

YPWD | ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23

After a stressful few months, I managed to persuade him to go with me to our GP. The first visit was pretty useless with him saying he was fine and the doctor taking his word for it! I came away feeling dismissed as a neurotic wife but eventually I managed to get him a referral to the Wokingham Memory Clinic. It was there that Mike was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment which was later upgraded to Mixed Dementia (Vascular & Alzheimer’s). Although very distressed by the diagnosis I felt some element of relief that we at last had an explanation for his symptoms which I then realised were not his fault. 

At the memory clinic I was referred to the YPWD which was the best thing ever! I no longer felt alone and since joining the group Mike has benefited from at least 2 activities every week. He particularly enjoys katakanuing, equine therapy and snooker together with anything that involves creating something which he can take home. He still enjoys cooking but needs supervision as left on his own we often get some weird & wonderful combinations of ingredients! 

Luckily Mike has remained pretty stable since his diagnosis so I feel very lucky compared to some who have had some terrible challenges. Of course there are times when I feel sad for days gone by but the friends I have made through YPWD are truly uplifting and keep me going through the difficult days. Unlike our other friends they understand exactly the experiences we are all going through and being able to talk, laugh & cry together is something I value more than I can say. Sometimes I feel that dementia has robbed us of our golden years together but mostly we just take one day at a time and try to get the best out of the time still have left. 

I cannot thank YPWD enough for giving me that lifeline.”

## Objectives and Activities 

Young Onset Dementia affects adults under the age of 65 and nationally there are known to be just over 70,800 living with this diagnosis. Traditional services are designed to meet the needs and expected therapeutic out-comes of older adults and subsequently, access to activities appropriate for younger adults with dementia is limited. The Objective of the charity is to promote and protect the physical and mental health of people diagnosed with early onset dementia and also of their families and carers in the administrative districts of Wokingham, Reading, West Berkshire, Bracknell, Windsor and Maidenhead and Slough through the provision of support, education and general advice.  During the period we have continued our pilot of our services in the area of Surrey Heath. 

## Charitable Activities 

During the period our services were delivered face to face and on-line as required.  This support included age-appropriate and meaningful workshops, micro-groups, 1:1 support, social events, Admiral Nurses to support carers and education courses. 

## Reserves Policy 

The charity has a reserves policy to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a sufficient level which enables the charity to operate in the short term (6 Months). The remainder of the charity's reserves are distributed in accordance with its objectives. The total reserves at the year-end date were £401,503 of which an amount of £53,640 was held in restricted funds, with £84,400 in designated funds and £263,463 in free reserves. The trustees consider the state of the charity to be satisfactory, and that it is achieving its objectives.

## Younger People with Dementia CIO Report of the Trustees For Period Ending 31 March 2023 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

## Governing Document 

The Charity is controlled by its governing document. 

## Recruitment and appointment of Trustees 

The Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the Charity. 

## Risk Management 

Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. We have a comprehensive risk management framework in place to identify and manage risks that may impact our charity's operations. The Trustees recognise the charity’s reliance on the NHS for funding and actively look to broaden the sources of financial support.  These additional sources of income included applications to charitable trusts and foundations and fundraising activities. 

## Objectives and Activities 

Young Onset Dementia affects adults under the age of 65 and nationally there are known to be just over 70,800 living with this diagnosis. Traditional services are designed to meet the needs and expected therapeutic out-comes of older adults and subsequently, access to activities appropriate for younger adults with dementia is limited. The Objective of the charity is to promote and protect the physical and mental health of people diagnosed with early onset dementia and also of their families and carers in the administrative districts of Wokingham, Reading, West Berkshire, Bracknell, Windsor and Maidenhead and Slough through the provision of support, education and general advice.  During the period we have continued our pilot of our services in the area of Surrey Heath. 

## Charitable Activities 

During the period our services were delivered face to face and on-line as required.  This support included age-appropriate and meaningful workshops, micro-groups, 1:1 support, social events, Admiral Nurses to support carers and education courses. 

## Reserves Policy 

The charity has a reserves policy to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a sufficient level which enables the charity to operate in the short term (6 Months). The remainder of the charity's reserves are distributed in accordance with its objectives. The total reserves at the year-end date were £401,503 of which an amount of £53,640 was held in restricted funds, with £84,400 in designated funds and £263,463 in free reserves. The trustees consider the state of the charity to be satisfactory, and that it is achieving its objectives. 

A Detailed Report for Activities in 2023 is available on the Charity Commission site.

I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did 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.
