|Contribution made by<br>volunteers|Para 1.38|Dementia Disco, significantly contributing to<br>our capacity, the quality of our services, and<br>the overall experience of our beneficiaries.<br>Their dedicated efforts are crucial to<br>achieving our charitable objectives.<br>**Expanded Capacity and Reach:**We are<br>delighted to report a substantial increase in<br>our volunteer team, growing from 6 to 20<br>volunteers over the period. This growth has<br>been pivotal in enabling us to significantly<br>expand the number of discos we provide and<br>the number of care home discos we can<br>offer, reaching more beneficiaries.<br>**Direct Service Delivery:**Our volunteers<br>collectively contributed 144 hours of their<br>time across the 24 venue-based discos and<br>an additional 34 volunteer hours across the<br>17 care home discos. Their direct<br>involvement was essential in facilitating 960<br>free meals for attendees.<br>**Diverse Operational Support:**Volunteers<br>assist with event set-up, such as making the<br>food, handing out and writing new name<br>badges, welcoming attendees, and<br>encouraging people on the dance floor. They<br>are also instrumental in post-event activities<br>like clearing up at the end of the disco, and<br>support fundraising efforts by selling raffle<br>tickets. Furthermore, volunteers provide<br>invaluable assistance by gathering contact<br>and dietary information from disco goers to<br>help to organise our annual Blackpool trip.<br>**Enhanced Beneficiary Experience:**<br>Beyond practical tasks, our volunteers'<br>presence is transformative in enhancing the<br>environment at our discos. Their<br>engagement ensures personalised<br>interactions and helps create a safe, joyful,<br>and inclusive atmosphere. They actively<br>foster participation and play a key role in<br>building friendships among attendees and<br>carers, contributing directly to the social and<br>emotional well-being of our beneficiaries.<br>The dedication and commitment of our<br>volunteers directly amplify our impact,<br>allowing Dementia Disco to deliver high-<br>quality, engaging discos to people living with<br>dementia and their carers.|

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|Over the past 12 months, Dementia Disco<br>has significantly expanded our reach and<br>impact, delivering substantial benefits to our<br>beneficiaries and contributing positively to<br>society.<br>**Impact on Beneficiaries:**<br>**Enhanced Wellbeing and Social**<br>**Engagement:**Dementia Disco successfully<br>provided 24 free-to-attend discos, reaching<br>approximately 80 individuals each month.<br>These events offered vital opportunities for<br>joy, exercise, and social interaction, directly<br>combating isolation and improving the<br>quality of life for people living with dementia<br>and their carers.<br>**Free meals:**To lighten the load, we<br>provided**960 free meals**, so our disco goers<br>didn't have to worry about cooking when<br>they got home. They could just enjoy their<br>fantastic night out and then head straight for<br>bedtime.<br>**Unique Experiences:**A highlight was our<br>completely free trip to the Blackpool Tower<br>Ballroom for 65 people, including coach<br>travel, entrance, and afternoon tea. This<br>offered a memorable and accessible outing,<br>providing joy, a chance to dance on the<br>famous dancefloor, and a sense of inclusion<br>for beneficiaries and their companions.<br>**Festive Cheer:**We had a wonderful<br>Christmas party, with a full hot Christmas<br>dinner provided by the Conservative Club in<br>Heaton Moor, creating a special festive<br>occasion, fostering community spirit and<br>happiness during the holiday season.<br>**Reaching Care Home Residents:**We ran<br>17 care home discos, not only providing fun<br>and physical activity directly to residents who<br>might otherwise have limited access to such<br>engaging events. This directly improved their<br>mood, provided stimulation, and encouraged<br>movement.<br>**Wider Benefits to Society and**<br>**Organisational Growth:**<br>**Community Engagement and Support:**<br>Our free events and specific initiatives like<br>the Blackpool trip and Christmas party have<br>fostered a stronger, more inclusive<br>community around people affected by<br>dementia, raising awareness and promoting<br>understanding.|





**Volunteer Empowerment and Community Participation:** The increase in our number of volunteers from 6 to 20 demonstrates a growing community commitment and provides valuable opportunities for individuals to contribute to a meaningful cause, enhancing civic engagement. **Increased Capacity and Professionalisation:** A major achievement was securing funding to appoint our first employee, a CEO. This strategic appointment, seeing the former founder transition from 1.5 days/week to 5 part-time days/week, has completely transformed our capacity. This professionalisation allows for more strategic planning, increased efficiency, and greater potential for future growth and impact. **Future Sustainability and Reach:** The CEO is working with two consultants on a new brand and website, a strategy, and a corporate sponsorship deck for 2025. These foundational developments are crucial for securing long-term funding, expanding reach, and ensuring the continued and growing delivery of vital services in the years to come. The income of £850.00 generated from care home discos also provides a sustainable income stream for future activities. In summary, Dementia Disco has not only significantly enhanced the lives of our direct beneficiaries through direct activities and provisions but has also strengthened our organisational foundations, built a larger volunteer base, and laid the groundwork for future expansion, demonstrating a clear and positive impact on both individuals and the wider community.

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|**1. Income and Expenditure**<br>**Overview:**<br>We generated a Total Income of £13,788<br>during the period. This income primarily<br>came from Income from Charitable Activities<br>(£12,149), which highlights our strong focus<br>on generating revenue directly from our<br>services. Donations and legacies (£1,639)<br>also contributed, showing public support.<br>Total Expenditure: Our total expenditure for<br>the period was £13,730.<br>We achieved a surplus of £58 for the period.<br>This indicates that we spent slightly less<br>than we earned, resulting in a small but<br>positive surplus. While not a large surplus, it<br>means we are operating sustainably within<br>our current means and not incurring a deficit.<br>**2. Fund Balances:**<br>At the end of the period, we held £4,363 in<br>unrestricted funds and £432 in restricted<br>funds. The relatively small amount highlights<br>that restricted funding was largely spent<br>down during the period.<br>Total Funds: The combined total of these<br>funds is £4,795. This represents our<br>accumulated reserves at the period end.<br>**3. Assets and Liabilities (Balance**<br>**Sheet Snapshot):**<br>We had £18,409 in Total Current Assets and<br>£15,150 in Total Creditors.  Current Assets<br>(£18,409) minus Creditors (£15,150) equals<br>£3,259. This positive figure indicates that we<br>have sufficient liquid assets to cover our<br>short-term liabilities, demonstrating good<br>working capital management.<br>**Overall Assessment:**<br>We are in a stable financial position at the<br>end of the period.<br>We achieved a small surplus (£58),<br>indicating that our income covered our<br>expenditure.<br>We have a healthy level of unrestricted<br>funds (£4,363), providing some flexibility for<br>our operations.<br>The working capital position is positive<br>(£3,259), meaning we can meet our<br>immediate financial obligations.<br>The high proportion of income from<br>charitable activities continues to be a robust<br>and successful delivery of our core mission,<br>generating most of our revenue directly from<br>our work.<br>While we are operating sustainably, the<br>small surplus highlights the importance of<br>continued financial monitoring and prudent<br>management to ensure long-term stability|

|||and to build further reserves for future<br>growth or unforeseen challenges.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|Dementia Disco's policy is to maintain a<br>level of reserves that is sufficient to ensure<br>the charity's continued financial stability and<br>operational resilience, allowing it to fulfil its<br>charitable objectives effectively and<br>sustainably. Specifically, reserves are held<br>for the following key reasons:<br>**To Cover Unforeseen Financial Gaps or**<br>**Emergencies:**Operating costs can<br>fluctuate, and income streams (such as<br>donations or grants) may be unpredictable.<br>Reserves provide a crucial buffer to cover<br>unexpected shortfalls in income or<br>unforeseen essential expenditures (e.g.,<br>urgent repairs, significant increases in utility<br>costs, or a temporary dip in fundraising).<br>**To Allow for Planned Expenditure and**<br>**Development:**While our current surplus is<br>modest (£58 for the last period), reserves<br>accumulate over time and can support<br>planned investments in our charitable<br>activities, such as new program<br>development, essential equipment, or<br>increased outreach, without relying solely on<br>current year income.<br>**To Manage Cash Flow Fluctuations:**<br>Income and expenditure often do not<br>perfectly align throughout the year. Reserves<br>ensure that Dementia Disco has sufficient<br>cash available to meet its obligations even<br>during periods of lower income. Our positive<br>working capital of £3,259 (Current Assets<br>less Creditors) indicates effective short-term<br>cash management, and reserves underpin<br>this.<br>**To Ensure Ongoing Service Delivery:**Our<br>primary mission is to provide dementia disco<br>services. A robust reserve policy helps to<br>ensure that we can continue to deliver these<br>vital services to our beneficiaries, even if we<br>face temporary financial challenges, thereby<br>preventing disruption to those who rely on<br>us.<br>**How is the Level of Reserves**<br>**Determined?**<br>The trustees regularly review the level of<br>unrestricted reserves required, taking into<br>account:<br>**Our Operating Costs:**We consider our<br>typical running costs, including overheads<br>and direct charitable activity expenses. Our<br>total expenditure for the last period was<br>£13,730.<br>**Income Volatility:**We assess the reliability<br>and variability of our income streams,<br>particularly donations and grants.<br>**Future Plans and Commitments:**Any<br>planned expansion, new projects, or known|





|||future expenditures are factored in.<br>**Risk Assessment:**An assessment of key<br>financial and operational risks that could<br>impact the charity's ability to operate is<br>undertaken.<br>The target level for unrestricted reserves is<br>reviewed annually and set at a level deemed<br>appropriate to cover a specified period of<br>essential expenditure (e.g., 3 to 6 months) to<br>ensure a smooth operation during<br>challenging times. As of the end of the last<br>financial period, our unrestricted reserves of<br>£4,363 represent approximately 3.8 months<br>of average expenditure.<br>**Policy for Reserves Below/Above Target:**<br>If reserves fall below the target level, the<br>trustees will identify strategies to increase<br>them, such as focused fundraising efforts or<br>cost-saving measures.<br>If reserves significantly exceed the target<br>level, the trustees will consider how best to<br>utilize the surplus funds to further the<br>charity's objects, for example, through<br>investing in new charitable activities or<br>expanding existing services, whilst retaining<br>sufficient reserves for future needs.|

||The charity’s principal<br>sources of funds (including<br>any fundraising)|Para 1.47|Dementia Disco's principal sources of funds<br>are diverse, encompassing a mix of grant<br>funding, corporate sponsorship, event-based<br>fundraising, and public donations.<br>**Grant Funding:**The majority of our<br>fundraising in 2024 came from significant<br>grant funding secured from:<br>The Fore<br>Dementia United<br>Forever Manchester<br>**Corporate Sponsorship:**We also received<br>valuable contributions through corporate<br>sponsorship.|

|A description of the principal<br>risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|Like all charitable organisations, Dementia<br>Disco faces a variety of risks that could<br>impact its ability to deliver its mission. The<br>principal risks are actively monitored and<br>managed by the trustees and leadership<br>team.<br>**1. Financial Sustainability and Funding**<br>**Volatility:**<br>Reliance on Grant Funding: While<br>successful in securing grants from The Fore,<br>Dementia United, and Forever Manchester,<br>a significant reliance on a few key funders<br>presents a risk. Non-renewal or reduced<br>grants could significantly impact income.<br>Limited Reserves: Although the charity<br>achieved a small surplus (£58) in the last<br>period and has positive unrestricted funds<br>(£4,363), this level of reserves provides a<br>modest buffer against unforeseen financial<br>shocks or a sustained period of reduced<br>income.<br>Economic Factors: Broader economic<br>challenges, such as inflation (which<br>increases operating costs, as previously<br>discussed) or a downturn affecting donor<br>confidence and corporate sponsorship, could<br>impact both the cost of delivering services<br>and the ability to generate sufficient income.<br>**2. Operational Capacity and Resource**<br>**Management:**<br>CEO Reliance: The recent appointment of<br>the first CEO is a positive step in<br>professionalising the charity and|





transforming capacity. However, a significant amount of strategic and operational responsibility now rests with this individual. A sudden departure could create an interim leadership gap and impact ongoing projects like the new brand and strategy. Volunteer Management: While the increase in volunteers from 6 to 20 is a great achievement, managing a larger volunteer base effectively requires dedicated resources, training, and support to ensure retention and consistent service delivery. Scaling Services: As the charity expands its reach (e.g., 24 discos, care home sessions, large trips), maintaining the quality and frequency of these free services will require consistent funding and volunteer commitment. Failure to match growing demand with resources could impact beneficiary experience. **3. Reputation and Safeguarding Risks:** Vulnerable Beneficiaries: Working with a vulnerable population (people living with dementia) inherently carries safeguarding risks. Any incident or perceived lapse in safeguarding standards could severely damage the charity's reputation, impacting trust, public support, and volunteer recruitment. Public Perception: Maintaining a positive public image and ensuring transparency in operations is crucial for continued donor and community support. Negative publicity, regardless of its basis, can be damaging. **4. Strategic and Growth Risks:** Managing Growth and Change: The current period involves significant strategic work, including a new brand, website, and corporate sponsorship deck. Effectively managing these projects, ensuring successful implementation, and translating strategic plans into tangible outcomes while continuing day-to-day operations is a critical risk. Diversification of Income: While grants and corporate sponsorship are strong, a risk exists if the charity does not continue to diversify its income streams (e.g., growing individual giving, legacies, or other sustainable revenue models) to ensure longterm resilience. By actively identifying and mitigating these risks, Dementia Disco can work towards ensuring its long-term stability and continued positive impact on its beneficiaries and wider society.

## **Note 2                           Accounting policies** 

_**This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those deleted.  Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.**_ 

## **INCOMING RESOURCES** 

**Recognition of incoming** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: **resources** • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; • the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. **Incoming resources with** Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) **related expenditure** the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. **Grants and donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. **Tax reclaims on donations** Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to **and gifts** which they relate. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered. **performance related grants** Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the **Gifts in kind** amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. **Donated services and** These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources **facilities** expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material _._ The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the **Volunteer help** trustees’ annual report. **Investment income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. **Investment gains and losses** This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. **Governance costs** Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. **Grants with performance** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service **conditions** or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. **Grants payable without** These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are **performance conditions** no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. **Support Costs** Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. **ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for use** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £25.  They **by charity** are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt.

**Investments** Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end.  Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. **Stocks and work in progress** These are valued at the lower of cost or market value. **POLICIES ADOPTED ADDITIONAL TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ABOVE**
