Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 30 June 2021

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 30[th] June 2021. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law.

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Objectives and activities

The objective of Together Dementia Support (“TDS”) is the relief of people who are living with dementia, including their families and carers.

Our Vision

Everyone living with dementia and their carers has access to support, friendship, stimulating activities, and has their voice heard.

Our Purpose

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Achievements and performance

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on people affected by dementia and are undertaken to further Together Dementia Support’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

2020-21 was a year of expanded service provision to meet the increased needs of our service users (usually referred to as “members”) who were mostly locked down at home due to the Covid pandemic and then, from May 2021 beginning to return to support and activity groups.

We continued with the model of service delivery that we had started in March 2020, with all members and their family carers allocated to a staff member for regular visits, trips out, walks and delivery of activities and gifts. We were still working to the objectives in our Business Plan and the grant requirements of our various funders.

We opened our offices in July 2020, and allowed hybrid working, with limited numbers of staff in our office spaces. This made it easier for us to co-ordinate our work and deliver activities to people.

We enabled members to participate in surveys about caring during Covid and their responses showed that only 43% of them could access online support and information, underlining the importance of written and word of mouth information for them.

We received a number of grants to support our service delivery during this time (additional Lottery funding, Race Equality Foundation, CAF Resilience Fund, We Love Manchester and Sir Jules Thorn fund). These grants enabled us to:

During this year we had significant staff changes. We recruited a Finance Business Support Officer (BSO) to do our bookkeeping and other administrative tasks. We had a change in Business Support Manager and created and recruited to a Service Delivery Manager post. We created a contracted TDS Driver role to which we recruited one of our casual drivers, giving her additional responsibilities. We also gave development opportunities to several administration staff who then obtained career progression opportunities with other organisations.

We maintained our services well despite this flux.

In January 2021 we implemented a system of staff appraisals for the first time with target setting for all. We also ensured that all staff involved in service delivery completed Safeguarding, Manual Handling, First Aid and Food Hygiene training.

In March we migrated all our service user data over to a new Customer Relationship Management system called Charitylog. This change had taken longer than anticipated for reasons beyond our

Together Dementia Support

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 30 June 2021

control. The necessary data cleansing before migration was time consuming but we are already experiencing the benefits of an easy-to-use system that can produce reliable data reports.

We received a 30 month grant from Trafford Housing Trust’s Social Investment Fund to increase our work in north Trafford. This enabled us to increase our staffing to be able to work more with carers in Trafford and to recruit more volunteers and members from those neighbourhoods. Because many of the families that we were already working with or wanted to target were from black or South Asian communities, we were pleased to recruit staff who could most competently relate to those service users.

As an active member of the Carers Manchester Network we were keen to be part of a development in Manchester’s strategy for carers. We became a member organisation of the Carers Manchester South management team. We were involved in the recruitment of delivery staff and in determining the way that the team would work. We seconded a staff member to work in that team (0.5 of her post) and our CEO sat on the management board for the project.

The Older People’s Neighbourhood Support ( OPeNS ) was another initiative to encourage co-ordinated service delivery in each neighbourhood and TDS was given funding to work in Ardwick & Longsight with other VCSE organisations and a smaller amount for our work in Withington.

This funding (still ongoing) has enabled us to get to know other organisations better although coordinating community activities during the pandemic was challenging. Several planned activities were subsequently cancelled because of Covid H&S concerns.

Together At Home We ran the Together At Home pilot, starting June 2020 and reporting back in March 2021.During that time 13 people living with dementia received regular visits from a volunteer befriender. The feedback and benefits to members were considerable. We learned that we need to select and train volunteers carefully as the role involves more responsibility and initiative than our usual group volunteer roles. The feedback from this pilot, together with the overall feedback about our service delivery to people at home convinced us that we should continue to allocate more resource to supporting people at home and we will seek funding to do this.

Volunteers Both staff and volunteers continued to deliver more support to people at home – with activity packs, homemade treats, outdoor walks, and telephone calls. Some deep and lasting friendships were made by our experienced volunteers and they found this befriending role very satisfying.

One of our volunteers made large numbers of cotton facemasks that we were able to sell to members and members of the public, making a small profit. For obvious reasons it wasn’t a good year for volunteer recruitment and we lost some of the volunteers who had previously been volunteering at our groups.

Staff realised that they needed to give more time and individual support/information and advice to carers than we have previously done. We are therefore seeking more funding to enable us to expand our staffing to do this.

We wrote the materials and began running Carer Training courses in this year. We ran these via Zoom weekly over five evenings and found this medium to be very effective in engaging with carers. The depth of personal sharing was considerable and carers gave very positive feedback. The strongest theme was feeling less alone by spending time with other carers and sharing stories.

Knowing that our Lottery funding would run out in December 2021, we carried out a procurement process to contract with a fundraising consultant. We engaged Third Sector consultancy who worked

Together Dementia Support

Trustees’ annual report

with us to produce a Funding Strategy and then to research appropriate grant making bodies to whom we could apply. We started the process of applying again for a Reaching Communities grant, working in partnership with Third Sector Consultancy. We were unable to run any fundraising events but had some online fundraisers and continued to receive donations from our members’ families and the public.

We continued with our objective of getting people’s voices heard and working to improve services for people in our city. We contributed to public health information about dementia in South Asian communities https://www.mhcc.nhs.uk/dementia/ and enabled 2 carers and 3 people with dementia to lecture to over 200 nursing students in December 2020.

The academic evaluation of our Friendship & Activity Groups was halted in March 2020 and was only able to restart in May 2021 when our groups re-opened. It is hoped that the report will be finished and available to read by April 2022.

Funding

We received a third year of funding from the National Lottery and the Allen Lane Foundation and an extension grant(4[th] year of funding) from Manchester City Council. We also received the first instalment of funding from Trafford Housing Trust.

In addition, we received a one-off grant from The Utley Trust to fund our Dementia Gospel Choir.

We received a number of targeted grants to support the charity through the pandemic. These were from: the Race Equality foundation, the CAF Resilience Fund, the National Lottery, Sir Jules Thorn, and We Love Manchester.

The other small grants were to fund an innovative piece of equipment called the Mobii projector (funding from the Home Instead Charity and Manchester Airport Foundation) for our service users to enjoy.

Some funding from the previous year, such as the Sport England grant, was carried forward because we had been unable to use it all in the intended time period due to the Covid restrictions.

There were few grant applications made in the first six months of 2021 partly because we were busy with increased service delivery. We planned to increase our work in this area in the following six months.

Because we were not running any groups for most of this financial year, our income from member contributions decreased significantly as did income from our own fundraising initiatives, with a smaller decrease in income from donations. We identified that we wish to promote legacies fundraising but didn’t yet execute this campaign.

Beneficiaries of our services

In June 2021 we had 195 people living with dementia and 206 carers on our database, showing a significant increase in referrals and people using our service over the last 12 months.

Our beneficiaries were diverse in terms of ethnicity with a significant number of people describing themselves as black Caribbean black British or south Asian and British Asian. The majority of our members with dementia were aged over 75 whilst our carer beneficiaries were both spouses and sons/daughters of parents living with dementia.

6

Together Dementia Support

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 30 June 2021

We know that some of our beneficiaries are significantly disadvantaged in socio-economic terms and live in neighbourhoods that are amongst the 10% most deprived in England. This means that some service users have less social capital and resources to help them cope with their disabilities. Many live alone and have no transport.

Financial review

The total income for the year was £336,493 (2019/20 £206,079). Of this £276,454 related to project restricted activities.

Direct expenditure for the year was £269,640 (2010/20 £188,902).

Most expenditure continued to be on staff salaries and sessional workers (the latter of which we increased to use short-term project funding). Our office costs were higher because we rented an additional office at the Kath Locke Centre and had to provide all workers with the necessary work equipment.

A surplus of £66,583 was made in the year.

The Trustees want to comment on a mistake in the accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2020. The mistake is not considered material enough by our independent examiner to be disclosed in the notes to the latest accounts or require a restatement of the accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2020. The mistake was to treat a receipt of £59,876 from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund as Deferred Income for future years, and not to be included in the income for the year ended 30[th] June 2020. On re-consideration that receipt should have been included as income for the year ended 30[th] June 2020. This has been adjusted for in the accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2021. The net effect is that the income for the year ended 30[th] June 2020 was understated by the amount of £59,876 and the year ended 30[th] June 2021 overstated by the same amount.

As at 30[th] June 2021 total funds were £190,798 of which £151,695 represented restricted funds.

Reserves Policy

The trustees are aware of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have agreed that free reserves should be set at 3 months running costs.

The Trustee Board believes that the organisation should aim to have reserves at this level to ensure the Charity can run efficiently and meet the needs of beneficiaries. Efforts to maintain them at this level will continue in line with this policy.

The unrestricted reserves held by the Charity at 30[th] June 2021 amounted to £39,103.

There were concerns about the charity’s future funding once the National Lottery funding ran out at the end of December 2021 as so much of our funding this year has been restricted and required to be spent within the financial year. The CEO would be spending more time in applying to funding bodies in the following six months.

Plans for the future

The charity will continue to deliver the workstreams as set out in the Reaching Communities and other funding agreements.

We also have a detailed and summary Strategic Plan from which a Business Plan has been derived. The Business Plan sets all targets and milestones and progress against this is reported and discussed at each Board Meeting.

Because we were still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic we continued to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of our service users, volunteers and staff and didn’t made significant new plans for service delivery. We will continue to expand our delivery as health and safety restrictions allow.

With increased Business Management capacity, we began to deliver our Communications Strategy with a new website and increased social media presence, whilst also sending out monthly bulletins to both our volunteers and members.

With our new CRM we expected to be able to produce more detailed data about our activity and impact.

Structure, governance and management

A Board of Trustees exists and their powers are governed by Articles of Association. There was new recruitment to the Board and this was carried out by advertising, interview and skills assessment. The new trustees were appointed for a period of 3 years.

The CEO is responsible for the day to day running and management of the charity with delegated powers that are set out in the Job Description and a formal Delegated Limits of Authority document. The CEO reports directly to the Trustees and is supervised by the Chair of Trustees.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30[th] August 2014 as a Community Interest Company, amended its Articles of Association on 16[th] October 2018, and registered as a charity on 9[th] November 2018.

The objects and powers of the charitable company are set out in the amended Articles of Association and is governed under those same Articles of Association.

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 30[th] June 2021 was 13. The trustees are the members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

All trustees save for Sally Ferris (who resigned as a trustee on June 30[th] 2021) give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 8 to the accounts.

Related parties and relationships with other organisations TDS partners with related Manchester- based organisations where this furthers the aims of the charity. TDS has a partnership with Manchester Carers Forum, Lifted, Connect Support, Ananna, TLC St Lukes, and Manchester Cares.

Remuneration policy for key management personnel The remuneration of staff is now scheduled for annual review. There was no review, however, during this reporting year, although the Board was considering a cost of living pay increase for all staff.

Risk Management A Strategic Risk Assessment has been undertaken and is used day to day by the CEO and managers. It is reviewed at each Trustee Board meeting. The Board are satisfied that the risk to

which TDS is exposed is minimal and that appropriate mitigators are in place and being managed by the CEO and managers.

Funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others

We continue to hold a very small amount of money on behalf of the Chorlton & Whalley Range Dementia Action Group until a time that this group meets again and plans activity in the local area.

Together Dementia Support

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The charity has applied the exemption available to small charities in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and does not include a Statement of Cash Flows in these Financial Statements.

Together Dementia Support meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

14

Together Dementia Support

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 (continued)

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

15

Together Dementia Support

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 (continued)

h Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6.

i Operating leases

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

j Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated

Office fixtures and equipment 25% Motor vehicle 25%

k Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

l Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

m Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

n Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 9. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.
