REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

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

A board of trustees exists and their powers are governed by the Articles of Association. There was new recruitment to the board this year which 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.

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 30th June 2025 was 8. 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 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.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

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 affected by dementia in our communities will receive excellent care and support and live well.

Our Purpose

WHY? We exist so that no-one struggles with dementia alone. We work hard so that people affected by dementia are heard, empowered and supported.

HOW? Our work with people living with dementia and carers is evidence-based and specialist, and developed in consultation with our beneficiaries.

WHAT? We provide one-one information, advice and support for carers and peer support forums. We also run Friendship & Activity Groups for people living with dementia and one-one services to enable them to remain active and engaged.

These services improve the quality of life for people impacted by dementia.

Amplifying the voices of people living with dementia and carers ensures that their expertise and lived experience is taken seriously to improve services and helps to tackle stigma.

The involvement and development of volunteers in our work not only helps to increase our capacity but also grows more dementia-friendly communities and upskills the future health & social care workforce.

Working with partners enables us to share expertise and achieve better outcomes for people living with dementia and their carers.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Achievements and performance

At the start of the financial year Together Dementia Support celebrated its 10th Birthday holding a community party and, two months later, running a TDS Showcase at the prestigious Manchester Central Library providing a more formal recognition of our work enabling the voices of carers, researchers, and people living with dementia to be heard.

The party showed the commitment of our community as they turned out in large numbers to celebrate with us whilst the Showcase displayed the expertise we have and partnerships we have built.

We continued to provide our core services:

  1. One-one carer information, advice and support

  2. Peer support for carers both online and face to face (at Dementia Cafes and one-off carer breaks)

  3. Carer training courses online and face-face

  4. Six Friendship & Activity groups (person-centered "day care" for people with dementia) meeting every week in different neighbourhoods with transport provided

  5. Together at Home and Together Out & About activity and befriending service for people with dementia who are housebound or need a bespoke service

  6. Dementia Choir monthly singing sessions and performances across the community

  7. Fab Forgetful Friends monthly peer support and activism group for people with mild dementia

  8. Regular trips out for our members with dementia and for families together

  9. Legal Clinic where clients can make a free will or have help to complete LPA forms

We maintained strong financial oversight during the year.

We developed further our Together Out & About Service, thanks to the Albert Gubay grant funder. Staff delivered some wonderful bespoke activity sessions and trips out for approximately 22 people with dementia. They enjoyed accessible cycling, walks, trips to football stadiums, museums, garden centres and art galleries. This service was appreciated by the individuals and families alike, with a daughter telling us:

"Typically, we notice a dip in Dad's engagement during the evenings. However, Wednesdays are a notable exception. After spending time with Mike, he can recall details with remarkable clarity, everything from the day's events honestly, the recall is amazing. This positive effect lasts for several days!" (about Alan, who has weekly trips out with Support Worker, Mike)

We also partnered with the music ensemble, Manchester Camerata, to provide a weekly Music Cafe employing their innovative music therapy model called Music In Mind. This intervention is perfect for people with dementia who struggle with communication as the music-making is prioritised over talking.

Our more experienced staff have continued to improve the quality of our service delivery and to build more relationships in our communities, whilst training up newer staff and running more information sessions for carers. Feedback from carers consistently shows the significant impact of our support for them:

"TDS has been the one organisation that has continued to think of me and my needs as well. It's also meant I can meet other people that 'get it', which makes such a difference. I'd be so lost without the support of TDS, always there to listen and point in the right direction. It was such a blessing to be in the group over the last 2 (Carer Training) sessions. Really grounded me and informed me on the essentials and the fact I'm not alone 1 In my thinking and 2 in the community. I left with a real sense of belonging and joy today!"

We have delivered on a core objective of enabling carers and people living with dementia to get their voices heard by involvement in the training of health and social care professionals. These speaking engagements were well received and benefitted both speaker and learner.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

"Very good to hear the perspective of people who live with Dementia. I found the talks with both the carers and the people living with dementia really powerful. I feel very informed from this session." (Student Nurse, Feb 25).

Volunteers continued to be vital and valued members of our team. They attended our Friendship & Activity groups 1,100 times and delivered over 250 visits to people with dementia at home. They gave very high satisfactions ratings of their volunteering experience.

"I think TDS has given me valuable life experiences which will help me develop myself as I go into my future career. Being with the charity for nearly 3 years has provided me a range of skills from communication to active listening. I acknowledge each week the difference I am making to the lives of others but also the influence the whole team together has on, not only the individuals with dementia, but their families/carers." (Sixth form student volunteer)

"Still feel I have something to contribute, after retirement, and gives some structure to my week." (Retired volunteer)

We hope that a nomination for the Kings Award for Volunteering might be successful in the next year.

Our CEO continued to play a significant role in Manchester's Dementia Steering Group and in the many Greater Manchester dementia improvement programmes. However, local funding for dementia service development has remained elusive and so growth has been supressed by availability of funding. Our outcomes data shows us that people with dementia have sustained wellbeing for a good length of time when they are actively involved with us and that carer wellbeing and resilience holds up well too.

Public benefit

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.

Remuneration policy for key management personnel

The remuneration of key management staff is reviewed annually in line with market rates.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Financial position

During the year TDS made significant strategic investments in its organisational infrastructure, particularly through the appointment of two senior roles - an Operations & Data Manager and a Fundraising Manager - to strengthen operational capacity and support future sustainability. These developments contributed to a year of strong financial performance and increased income.

The charity achieved its highest income to date improving overall financial security. We were pleased to secure a further three-year grant from The National Lottery Community Fund, our largest single funding source, which supports key staff posts. Although the wider funding environment remains challenging, with fewer large grants available to us, we successfully secured new funding, including support from Global's Make Some Noise, the Edward Gostling Foundation and the Alex Ferry Foundation, alongside a number of restricted grants that enabled continued delivery of our core services.

Income diversification also improved during the year. Donations almost doubled, largely driven by contributions from families who have benefited from our services. Income from attendance at our Friendship & Activity Groups increased due to improved automated payment systems and higher, more consistent participation. Our fundraising volunteer also expanded online sales of second-hand goods and merchandise, although this remains a modest income stream.

We continued to build on our events programme including a further Christmas at the Cathedral event, a second Bunny Hop involving local primary schools, participation in the Manchester 10k and a fundraising abseil at the Trafford Centre. We also benefited from a year-long partnership with Manchester & Cheshire Construction which provided both fundraising support and wider in-kind assistance.

Expenditure remained broadly consistent with the previous year as we maintained careful cost control. Staffing levels did not increase significantly despite supporting a growing number of beneficiaries, with the principal exception being the planned recruitment of the Fundraising Manager to strengthen unrestricted income generation.

Internally we enhanced systems and performance monitoring by implementing a new CRM system, Beacon and appointing an Operations & Data Manager to improve data collection, outcomes tracking, and internal processes.

A key focus of our Lottery-funded work continues to be strengthening engagement with South Asian communities whose members are often under-represented and underserved. While services have been maintained, additional staff capacity is needed to expand outreach and participation further.

Despite a strong year of delivery and consistently high satisfaction from service users and professionals, demand continues to exceed current capacity. We remain ambitious to grow in order to reach more people in Manchester affected by dementia and to expand the range of support available. In doing so, we believe our work contributes to reducing pressures on health and social care systems by helping to prevent hospital admissions and delay moves into residential care.

With increased fundraising capacity, stronger communications, and ongoing developments in NHS community-focused funding we are well positioned to continue strengthening our impact and sustainability.

Reserves policy

The charity's reserves policy aims to have three months of total running costs in unrestricted reserves. Total running costs to June 2025 amounted to £450,219.

The unrestricted reserves were £140,695 at 30 June 2025, an increase of £42,044 from 30 June 2024 and this represents three and a half months of total running costs, meeting our reserves threshold.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Strategic and Operational Risk Assessments have been undertaken and are used day by day by the CEO and managers. They are reviewed at each Trustee Board meeting. The Board are satisfied that the risks to which TDS is exposed are appropriately mitigated with effective controls in place.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT

Plans for the future

Together Dementia Support will continue to deliver the much-valued range of services that we have been to date but will also grow our reach and diversify where we can. We have recently produced an ambitious plan for growth showing potential commissioners the strong return on investment into community support services that keep people with dementia at home for longer with less reliance on statutory services.

We are continuing to improve our internal data monitoring and staff development so that the systems are in place for significant growth whilst also promoting our brand and our position as the lead provider for specialist dementia services in Manchester.

We will further increase investment in income generation looking at more community fundraising and corporate partnerships. And we will continue to seek any opportunities for commissioning of services or to income generate from saleable services.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Related parties

TDS partners with related Manchester-based organisations where this furthers the aims of the charity. TDS has a partnership with Manchester Carers Forum and Manchester Camerata and is an active member of the Carers Manchester Network.

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN FOR OTHERS

We continue to hold a small amount of money on behalf of the Chorlton & Whalley Range Dementia Action Group as we support their work to develop dementia-friendly neighbourhoods in Manchester.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TOGETHER DEMENTIA SUPPORT

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Together Dementia Support ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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 30 JUNE 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

INCOME

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

EXPENDITURE

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

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.
