Bank Metro Bank Brighton 82 North Street Brighton BN1 1ZA Constitution adopted August 19th 2019 ## Annual Report ## Aims and Objectives Our aims are to help those living with dementia to still feel that there is a life worth living, that they are are still important and that they have not been forgotten. We want to reach out to as many people as we possibly can in East Sussex to bring the wonder of music to them as we know it can soothe, stimulate and bring to mind long forgotten memories! Our objectives are to support, bring joy, laughter, a sense of still belonging, a chance to reminisce, a sense of community for those living with dementia and to offer a moment of respite for their carers with our interactive singing, movement and craft sessions. Summary of main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to our aims and objectives This last year has been very unique due to the Coronavirus pandemic but we have adapted our services accordingly and managed to still reach out to many people in our community living with dementia. We ran Garden Singing Sessions throughout the summer which were a huge success and managed to visit many Care Homes and Day Care Centres, many of which we regularly visited prior to the pandemic. We continued to vary the sessions to include different themes and various types of music. We also delivered tailor made sessions to some of our clients within their own gardens. These were again a huge success and we all found that, these clients, being within their own environment, felt even more relaxed and at ease. We learnt a lot about each of these clients with it being a one to one session, as they reminisced and told us many things about their lives which we have found very helpful. It helped us to engage even more with these clients and we could then help them to remember the things they had told us when we visit them again. We also delivered sessions via Zoom to those Care Homes/Day Care Centres that didn’t have a garden big enough for outdoor sessions. This also worked well once the weather turned colder. The Zoom sessions went very well and we worked around any technical issues we had during these sessions. For those without access to the internet we offered Chat and Sing Sessions. These were a weekly/two weekly phone call to any of our clients that were feeling isolated and lonely. We would have a chat about their week and then ask them if they wanted to sing along to some of their favourite songs This, like the bespoke garden sessions, were more personal and again it meant we got to know our clients better. We could help them to feel uplifted and supported after days on their own. After another year, we still wonder at our clients who arrive at our sessions silent and non communicative that they can become animated and open, we may even see a smile, a foot tapping or a mouthing of words. Any song can bring back a cherished memory and when they feel they can open up about this it makes the client feel relaxed, happy and joyful. Main Achievements during the year Our greatest achievement this year has been that we have managed to keep the charity running throughout the pandemic. We have continued to reach out to as many people as we possibly could and managed to support many of our clients during this time of loneliness and isolation. Pam Doodes, Chair of Wealden District Council, who chose our charity last year as her chosen charity, ended her term but recommended us to her successor, Councillor Ron Reed, who has taken on our charity for another year which we are thrilled about. Another achievement that we are very proud of from the last year is the success of our Christmas song. Our founders son, Graham Slack, a songwriter for TV, suggested writing a song for Christmas to help us raise some funds. We recorded the song with Graham and then filmed a video to help with promotion. The song was played on many radio stations and several newspapers covered the story of the song which helped raise some much needed funds for the charity. ## FINANCIAL REPORT Income £14,383.67 Expenditure £9797.97 Leaving an excess of £4585.70 Total reserves are £35009.76 |**Date:**
