We want to reach out to as many people as we possibly can in the Sussex area 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 The main aim for this past year was to try and resume as many sessions as possible after Covid and to return to many of the homes and centres that we haven’t been able to visit for the last year due to the pandemic. The first few months were slow but as the year continued many homes and centres regained their confidence and started to book entertainment. The singing sessions were the first to resume in person although we had to adapt at many centres, still wearing masks and keeping a good distance from clients. As soon as we thought it was safe and the particular centre was in agreement, we then resumed the in person craft sessions. It was absolutely wonderful for us all to be able to see many of our clients again after such a long absence. Another of our aims this year was to receive confirmation from the Charity Commission of our new charity name and to announce it. We felt that our old name Dementia Support East Sussex didn’t really reflect the work that we do and we also felt that it limited us to working in East Sussex. Our new name, which was agreed by all trustees, was accepted by the Charity Commission in April and we have definitely seen a difference already with centres/homes in the Sussex area enquiring about our sessions. We have managed to secure 6 new venues this year but unfortunately lost a couple due to the pandemic. We are hoping to continue growing as centres/homes become more confident. We also have two new craft leaders, Marisa and Sarah from the Painted Ladies. They have proved a huge success and we hope to be able to offer more craft sessions in the next year. Main Achievements during the year Our greatest achievement this year was returning to many of our centres/homes after months away due to the pandemic and also securing 6 new venues for singing sessions. Our continued relationship with Councillor Ron Reed, Chair of Wealden District Council, continues to be something we are very proud of. His visits to some of our sessions this last year have always proved successful. Another achievement for this year was securing a donation from the National Lottery Community Fund. This donation will support our charity for the next year so we can continue to provide our much needed service. ## FINANCIAL REPORT Income £12,369.80 Expenditure £18001.17 Leaving an excess of £5631.37 Total reserves are £29,378.39 |**Date:**
