the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|THE OBJECT OF THE CIO IS FOR THE
PUBLIC BENEFIT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT
AND RELIEF AND TO PROMOTE SOCIAL
INCLUSION AMONG PEOPLE
DIAGNOSED WITH DEMENTIA WHO ARE
SOCIALLY EXCLUDED FROM SOCIETY,
OR PARTS OF SOCIETY, AS A RESULT
OF THEIR DEMENTIA BY:
A) PROVIDING
WEEKLY/FORTNIGHTLY SINGING AND

activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The Lyrics and Lunch network was
registered as a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation in November 2021.**It**has
strong ties with the Centre for the Study
of Aging Research (C4AR)at Lancaster
University, which is represented on the
board of trustees. It is also recognised by
the Cinnamon Network which supports
faith based social action.
**The charity creates community for**
**those that are losing theirs**bydirecting| support and relief to people who are socially excluded from society, or parts of society as a result of their dementia and memory loss. The charity does so in the Lancaster area by providing the cared for and their carers with regular access to singing/music sessions, nourishing food and social eating. The charity also promotes and supports the setting up of local Lyrics and Lunch groups in other areas. It provides background metrics on dementia, volunteer training, guidance on the structure and form of the Lyrics and Lunch model, and advice on dementia care. It also delivers an ongoing advisory service to local L&L groups as part of a formal, annual review process. During 2022 the charity has developed its website and social media, formally conferred the role of ‘Ambassador’ upon the Bishop of Lancaster and launched a quarterly newsletter. Articles describing and promoting the Lyrics and Lunch model have appeared in the local press and in the Lancaster District Magazine. The work of the charity has also featured on Channel 5 news during ‘Dementia Awareness Week’ and will appear on TBN, the Christian TV Channel, during 2023 as part of its ‘All In’ documentary series. In pursuit of its vision to seed a network of self sustaining, local Lyrics and Lunch groups across England and Wales, it has connected with six potential new locations, provided training and support to one location and assisted in seeding two new groups. |||There are currently seven active groups
stretching from Lancaster to
Thornborough in Buckinghamshire.
A step change in network expansion will
come only with the support of increased
hours for the Network Manager and the
support of a new post of Field Ofcer.
This will require a substantial increase in
the funding of the charity and support
from national and regional grant aiding
bodies. The trustees have identifed
potential funders, made approaches and
begun to prepare applications for funding
with the assistance of the Cinnamon
Network.
During 2022 the charity also secured
funding for an independent, 2 year
research project administered by C4AR,
The National Institute for Health and
Care Research, Applied Research
Collaboration
North West Coast (ARC
NWC). The researcher has been
appointed and will examine the impact of
the Lyrics and Lunch model on the
following outcome measures: quality of
life, neuropsychiatric symptoms such as
agitation, social isolation, loneliness,
cognition, carer burden and mood and
depressive symptoms in people with
dementia and their carers.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

depressive symptoms in people with

The charity is also examining the extent
to which the Lyrics and Lunch model
delays or halts the transfer from ‘home
care’ to ‘care home’. The emotional and
fnancial consequences for both the
families involved and the stretched public
services are potentially huge.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||Achievements against
objectives set|Para 1.41|The seeding and setting up process is
time consuming and network expansion
is currently restricted by the few hours
per week the charity can call on the
services of the Network Manager. The
charity recognises that a step change in
network expansion and realisation of its
vision will come only with the support of
increased hours for the Network
Manager and the support of a new post
of Field Ofcer. This will require a
substantial increase in the funding of the
charity and support from national and
regional grant aiding bodies.
The work of the trustees during 2023 will
be guided by the following 7 point
Development Plan.
1

Lyrics and Lunch groups, share good

performance and promote the important

2
To seed an expanding network of self
sustaining, local Lyrics and Lunch groups
across England and Wales by increasing the
Network Manager’s hours and creating a
Field Ofcer post.
3
To prepare a funding plan that will identify
appropriate, grant giving bodies and make
applications for funding that will support the
paid posts of the Network Manager and Field
Ofcer.
4
To prepare a phased plan of action that will
guide the work of the paid post holders in
promoting the benefts of the Lyrics and
Lunch model to new areas;making|| |---|---|---|---|---| |||connections with both potential local groups

health providers; and delivering support for
the setting up of these new groups.
