Cherish Dementia Holidays CIO Annual Report 2022 Name : Cherish Dementia Holidays CIO Reg No : 1186562 Address : C/O 30, Keresley Road, CV6 2JD Trustees : Maureen Bishop Sue Hine (resigned in August) Keiran Lee ( Chair & Treasurer ) Pat Shilton John Wood Janet Wright The Charity operates under the Constitution dated November 2019 and amended January 2020 which included the regulations for appointment of Trustees. Since the last report, a Trustee has resigned leaving us with six Trustees. We currently have one contracted paid organiser, who organises lunches, day trips and short holidays. The Objectives of the Organisation To relieve the needs of people living with dementia and preserve and protect the health of persons who are currently or were formerly caring for people with dementia in Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire, in particular by providing short break holidays, activities and social interaction. In furtherance of these objectives the charity will- Organise and provide short term holidays for those with dementia and their carer’s. Encourage social inclusion by bringing together people with care responsibilities from all sections of the community for mutual support and shared learning. Provide opportunities for carers and those people being cared for to experience a different environment giving them a break from their day to day routines. Raise awareness of activities of the organisation and the positive benefits for carers and those cared for. How we achieved our objectives Our programme for 2022 which was organised by our holiday organiser fell foul to the Covid 19 pandemic, we managed to hold only two lunches. We held two day trips one to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and the other to Kilworth House. We managed two well attended lunches at Corley and Fillongley which did not require the use of a coach. The aims for this year - 1. To arrange bi monthly lunches. 2. To continue to send out a newsletter to members at least four times a year, giving an update on progress and details of arranged or proposed lunches, day trips or events. 3. To hold at least one short holiday (5days) 4. To continue with fundraising events. 5. To continue to raise awareness of our services, increase our membership and recruit suitable volunteers to our organisation How our activities deliver public benefit- By the provision of supported holidays where the venue, coach excursions are all organised by our organiser, we provide relief to carers from their stressful role at home. It enables them to relax, make friends with others in a similar situation giving them informal support on their return to home. This in turn helps them to care at home for longer, thus delaying the expense and distress of residential care for as long as possible. This is of benefit to the individual couples and the care system which is stretched to the limit and only likely to become more so. Many carers of partners with dementia suffer from depression and related illnesses. Regular holidays and outings help to alleviate some of these conditions. Funding This year we have had a slight increase in donations, receiving £5342.00 from last year’s £5070.55 Membership We currently have just over 100 members, which is a slight increase on last year. The difficulties of being able to visit meeting groups to explain what Cherish has to offer has been a large factor in our lack of growth. The groups we normally present to are slowly starting to meet on a regular basis, hopefully this will enable us to present more often. We are committed to continue organising holidays, day trips and lunches through our organiser and enthusiastic volunteers to help couples who live with dementia to enjoy the activities in an understanding and supportive environment. ## **CHERISH DEMENTIA HOLIDAYS CIO REGISTERED CHARITY NUMBER 1186562 01 Jan22 to Dec31 22** ## **Bank Account 91466550** |**MONTH**|**IN**||**OUT**||**BALANCE**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Brought Forward|||||£22,654.58| |01/21||£262.00||£19.06|£22,888.52| |02/21||£662.00||£5.00|£23,545.52| |03/21||£192.00||£306.69|£23,430.83| |04/21||£92.00||£245.80|£23,277.03| |05/21||£192.00||£140.80|£23,328.23| |06/21||£242.00||£105.40|£23,494.83| |07/21||£822.00||£1,290.07|£22,996.77| |08/21||£470.00||£596.44|£22,820.33| |09/21||£302||£545.80|£22,626.53| |10/21||£962.00||£721.28|£22,947.25| |11/21||£2,482.00||£861.85|£24,567.00| |12/21||£312.00||£2,122.20|£22,757.20| |Balance at 31 December 21|||||£22,757.20| ## **CHERISH DEMENTIA HOLIDAYS CIO 01Jan22 to Dec31 22** RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT ## **RECEIPTS** |**MONTH**
