## 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 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 to maintain all our regular homes/centres and to reach out to more new venues. We have managed to fulfil that aim and have added two new venues to our regular monthly calendar as well as leading all our regular monthly sessions.  We have also managed to add more craft sessions to our monthly calendar after requests from many of our regular venues who only received our singing sessions.  We have recruited one more craft leader to help with these extra sessions.  Juliette has proved to be a huge success and she will continue to deliver craft sessions with us for the foreseeable future. 

## Main Achievements during the year 

Our main achievements during this year have been securing further funding through both successful funding applications and private donations.  This will see us in good stead as we head towards a few months without our Principal as she heads off on an theatre tour for 8 months.  Suzanne will continue to oversee the running of the charity but most of the admin and preparation, plus many of the sessions will be covered by Helen our Vice Principal. 

We continue to receive wonderful praise for all our work and will endeavour to carry on with that throughout the next year.
