DMH delivers one-to-one support for people with a diagnosis, carers and families; a fortnightly online carers group and a monthly face to face group to support carers in their role, find peer support and access information and advice. It produces a fortnightly newsletter to keep people informed and connected with what is happening in their County. Delivers a telephone support line offering advice, information and signposting. Holds monthly Memory Cafes and manages meeting centres in Leominster and Ross-on-Wye and delivers the Coffee and Memory Bus outreach service. DMH not only supports people with a diagnosis of dementia but also supports people awaiting diagnosis or who have mild cognitive impairment. DMH additionally works with organisations to support them to deliver sustainable opportunities for people affected by dementia in their communities and raise awareness of the condition. ## **Reference and Administrative details** |**Charity name**|**Dementia Matters Here (fordshire)**| |---|---| |**Registered charity**

**and any wider**|The Herefordshire Dementia Community Support Service (HDCSS)
was contracted for a further 12-month period to the 31stMarch 2025.
This has enabled us to deliver services to over 900 people in the last
12-month period. The services are open to anyone across
Herefordshire who may have concerns regarding themselves or a
loved one’s/friend’s memory, carers, family members and to
professionals seeking additional information. The service is also open
to anyone who may have mild cognitive impairment, which is a major
step forward in Herefordshire, as previously there has not been any
support specifically for this condition. DMH has also delivered 31
Memory cafés over the period, which have an average attendance of
51 people at Hereford, 40 people at Leominster and 24 people at
Ross. This has enabled people with a diagnosis and carers to enjoy a
social opportunityand to access support,information and advice.||| ||The Herefordshire Dementia Community Support Service (HDCSS)| |---|---| ||was contracted for a further 12-month period to the 31stMarch 2025.| |**Summary of the**|This has enabled us to deliver services to over 900 people in the last| |**main**|12-month period.

to deliver a care home support service to support the wellbeing of
people affected by dementia and staff in a residential setting. The
CAMbus continues to visit rural and isolated villages across the county
offering a point of contact for anybody worried about their/or
somebody they know memory and aims to break down the barriers to
engagement and access to services. CAMbus offers a free drink and
cake/biscuits, an informal chat and access to support, advice and
information. It also works with other organisations to deliver outreach
support.
The Herefordshire Dementia Voices project launched January 2022
reached its conclusion in March 2023. The project has successfully
delivered on the majority of its outcomes and will have a lasting
positive impact on the lives of people affected by dementia in the
county. Based on the recommendations of the project a successful 3-
year bid was submitted to the National Lottery Community Fund to
implement those recommendations from 2024 –2027.
Dementia Matters Here has also now taken over the background
management of the Ross-on-Wye Meeting Centre following the
dissolution of its original premises and management. The Meeting
Centre supports 18 members and carers once a week delivering the
national meeting centre’s programme of support to people living with
dementia. DMH has additionally taken over the management of
Leominster Meeting Centre under contract.
DMH is represented on the Herefordshire Dementia Partnership
Group and the ICS Dementia Partnership Board for Herefordshire and
Worcestershire by the Chief Officer and is therefore well placed to
input into regional dementia strategy.| |---|---| |**Performance of**
**fundraising activities**
**against objectives set**|Following on from the pandemic, fundraising activities have
again taken a hit, however, we successfully secured a
number of grants to continue to deliver our services. Grants
were secured from the National Lottery Community Fund,
Eveson Trust, Shaw Foundation, Herefordshire Community
Foundation, Integrated Care Board and Friends of
Herefordshire Alzheimers and Dementia Sufferers. Once the
situation improves, we will be able to focus again on
fundraisingactivities. We were also successful in securing| |---|---| one larger grant and one smaller grant to support the delivery of our objectives. ## **Financial Review** |**Review of the**
**charity’s financial**
**position at the end of**
**the period**|**Income**
The charity had income of £139,629 with much of this derived
from continued support from the local NHS ICB, plus other
donations, allowing it to sustain and grow its activities and
output.
**Expenditure**
Expenditure in the year totalled £174,244, with 80% being
salaries of staff engaged on various projects, for which grants
have been provided, and support.
**Surplus and Reserves**
The trustees report a deficit, funded from reserves brought
forward, of £34,615, ending the year with unrestricted reserves
of £67,343, allowing it to continue activities in 2024 with a
degree of confidence.| |---|---| |***Statement**
**explaining the policy**
**for holding reserves**
**stating why they are**
**held**|We aim to acquire sufficient funding to cover at least six month’s
running costs to protect the delivery of services to people
affected by dementia| |**Amount of reserves**
**held**|We have sufficient funds to cover just over 4 months-worth of
running costs without any further income, which is lower than the
reserves policy states and great efforts are being made to
secure further fundingto address thispressure| |**Reasons for holding**

It is my responsibility to - Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act); - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7) (b) of the Act), and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations rom you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is give as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or 2.

It is my responsibility to - Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act); - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7) (b) of the Act), and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations rom you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is give as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or 2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Signed.
