## **Objectives and Activities**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The objects of the CIO are for the public
benefit, to relieve the needs of people living
with dementia in the UK and their friends,
family and carers that accompany them by
providing regular events (discos) in order to
use the power of music to inspire memory,
conversation and friendship.|
|Summary of the main
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|**Fully Funded, Free to attend Community**
**Discos:**We organise and host regular, free-
to-attend evening, weekend discos across
our hub locations (including Stockport and
expanding into regional networks). These
events target a critical community gap by
specifically providing activities outside of
traditional working hours and appealing to
younger people living with dementia through
iconic music selections from the 1960s, 70s,
and 80s.
**Multigenerational Engagement & Carer**
**Support:**Our events provide a welcoming,
relaxed environment not just for the
individual and their primary carer, but for
wider family and friends. This creates
opportunities for joyful, multigenerational
connection while simultaneously offering
flexible respite for primary carers.
**Provision of Free Meals:**To foster a warm,
inclusive, and social atmosphere, we provide
a free meal to all attendees at our venue-
based events, helping to break down social
isolation.
**Mobile Outreach and Digital Expansion:**
We operate mobile discos to bring the music
and physical benefits directly into care
homes for individuals unable to travel.
**Volunteer Mobilisation:**We recruit, train,|
|||and coordinate a dedicated team of
volunteers to manage event logistics,
hospitality, and session delivery, ensuring
our events remained sustainable, safe, and
free for the community.|

|Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|Dementia Disco is incredibly proud of its
volunteer-led roots, and our volunteers
remain the absolute heartbeat of our
charity's operations. Without their dedication,
passion, and time, we would not be able to
deliver our core services or keep our events
free for the community.
Key highlights of our volunteer contribution
during this period include:
**Growing a Dedicated Network:**Following
our feature on BBC Breakfast in January
2026, we experienced a massive surge in
community support, receiving 50 new
volunteer applications in a single month.
This successfully expanded our active
pipeline to 74 approved, trained volunteers
equipped to run and support our sessions.
**Event Delivery and Logistics:**Our
volunteer team manages everything from
venue setup and hospitality to event logistics
and participant engagement. Their efforts
have enabled us to deliver over 200 venue-
based community discos and 40 care home
sessions from inception (in 2019) to early
2026, serving over 10,000 free meals to
attendees.
**Grassroots Community Leadership:**
Volunteers have been instrumental in
launching new locations, securing local|
council funding, and establishing local partnerships, as demonstrated by the launch of our Poynton disco. **Governance and Lived Experience:** Our volunteers actively shape the strategic direction of the charity by stepping into leadership roles, including joining our Board of Trustees to ensure the crucial voice of the carer is directly represented. **Recognised Excellence:** The exceptional commitment of our team was formally recognised locally when we won the Volunteer Team Award at Stockport Rocks and we have been nominated for The King’s Award for Voluntary Service 2026. Our volunteers not only give their time but also experience personal benefits; 94% of our volunteers describe our events as joyful, reporting a heightened sense of purpose and a deeper personal understanding of dementia. The trustees extend their deepest gratitude to every volunteer who helps lead the dance. For further details on our volunteer milestones, please refer to our full Impact Report. Other

|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**1. Main Achievements and Scaling**
**National Expansion:**
The charity successfully scaled its
operations from a single grassroots idea to
running eight monthly weekend discos
across England, spanning from
Northumberland to London, with three more
launching in July 2026.
**Massive Financial Resilience:**Our total
income grew by nearly 300%, rising from
£13.8k in 2024 to £55k in 2025, built on a
resilient mix of grants, donations, and
community fundraising. This allowed us to
fund our very first paid staff role through a
grant from The Fore, transitioning our charity
into a sustainable operational model.|
**Media and National Recognition:** Following a feature on BBC Breakfast’s Rise and Shine segment in January 2026, the charity gained immense national exposure, resulting in 20 new disco locations in development, 50 new volunteer applications in a single month, and a nomination for the prestigious King’s Award for Voluntary Service. **Delivery Milestones:** From inception to early 2026, we delivered over 200 venue-based community discos, 40 care home sessions, and provided more than 10,000 free meals to our community. **2. Difference Made to the Circumstances of Beneficiaries** Our work provides a safe, judgment-free sanctuary where the heavy fog of dementia lifts, offering profound mental and physical benefits to our core beneficiaries: **Reducing Loneliness and Building Connection:** 97% of our disco-goers report feeling more connected to others, and 93% experience increased social interaction. Cognitive and Physical Stimulation: 85% of participants recall precious memories through the power of music, and 73% feel more energised after our sessions. In care home settings, staff report increased movement and unexpected moments of recognition from isolated residents. **Vital Respite for Carers:** Our early evening and weekend timings target a critical community gap. They offer a space for peer support where full-time carers can step out of their demanding roles, alleviate emotional pressure, and share joyful, normal experiences with their loved ones.
**3. Wider Benefits to Society as a Whole** Beyond our direct participants, Dementia Disco provides meaningful, systemic benefits to wider society:
**Challenging Public Perceptions and Reducing Stigma:** We use an experiential approach to shift the public narrative surrounding dementia from limitation to possibility. Our national media features and public campaigns (such as Dance Against Dementia, which logged 5,668 dances to protest the removal of NHS dementia diagnosis targets) convert passive awareness into tangible civic action.
**Empowering Local Communities:** By
providing a "Run Your Own" disco toolkit, training, and infrastructure, we are lowering barriers to entry and empowering local volunteers, care providers, and civic leaders across England and Wales to build sustainable, community-led support networks. For a more detailed breakdown of our delivery statistics, participant testimonies, and future scaling plans, please refer to our full Impact Report.

## **Financial Review**
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The charity experienced an exceptionally
strong period of financial growth and
stabilisation during the year ending 31st
December 2025, driven by a substantial
increase in incoming resources and
diversification of funding streams.
**Income and Resources Expended**
Total incoming resources for the year
reached £54,684, representing an increase
of nearly 300% compared to the previous
year’s income of £13,788. This growth was
successfully balanced across multiple
revenue streams:
**Voluntary Income:**£16,121 generated
through donations.
**Fundraising Activities:**£16,796 brought in
via community raffles, merchandise sales,
and event tickets.
**Charitable Activities & Grants:**£21,767
secured through mobile care home discos
and project-focused grants (including
£20,367 in restricted income funds).
Total resources expended during the period
were £44,088, with the vast majority
(£41,957) directed directly into service
delivery for our charitable activities.
Fundraising trading costs were managed
efficiently at £1,468, and governance costs
were kept minimal at £663.
**Financial Performance and Reserves**
**Position**
The charity achieved a positive net
movement in funds of £10,596 for the year
(up from £58 in 2024).
**At the end of the financial period:**
**Total Funds Carried Forward:**Total charity
funds increased significantly to £15,391 (up
from £4,795 brought forward from the prior
year).
**Unrestricted Resilience:**The charity’s
unrestricted funds stood at £15,391, giving
the organisation substantially stronger
operational agility and long-term financial
resilience heading into its next phase of
national growth.
**Restricted Funds:**All restricted project|
|---|---|---|
|||funding available during the period was
successfully utilised. Carried forward
restricted funds at the end of the year were
£16,655 and are expected to be utilised fully
during 2026.
**Balance Sheet Strength**
The charity’s liquidity is in an excellent
position. Total current assets stood at
£34,763, comprising £31,769 in cash at
bank, £2,546 in merchandise stock, and
£448 in debtors. After accounting for short-
term creditors falling due within one year
(£20,140), the charity maintains a healthy
net current asset position of £14,623. Total
fixed tangible assets (such as equipment)
stand at a net book value of £768.
The trustees are satisfied that the charity
holds sufficient reserves and liquidity to meet
its current commitments and confidently
support its upcoming strategic expansions.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The trustees have reviewed the charity’s
requirements for reserves in light of the main
risks facing the organisation and its
upcoming national expansion plans.
**Why We Hold Reserves**
Dementia Disco holds unrestricted reserves
for the following key reasons:
**Operational Continuity:**To ensure that our
core monthly community discos can continue
to run seamlessly and remain completely
free to attend, even during periods of
unexpected funding delays or drop-offs in
public donations.
**Working Capital:**To manage everyday
cash flow requirements, covering essential
overheads, volunteer expenses, and
administrative costs.
**Strategic Agility:**To provide the financial
flexibility required to safely develop and
seed-fund our community-led expansion
model, rollout our local "Run Your Own"
toolkits, and transition sustainably as we
grow.
**Our Target Reserves Policy**
The trustees have established a policy that
the charity should aim to maintain free
unrestricted reserves equivalent to
approximately 3 to 6 months of core
operating expenditure. Based on our 2025|
|||expenditure, this target equates to a range of
approximately £6,000 to £12,000.
**Current Financial Position against Policy**
At the end of the financial period (31st
December 2025), the charity held total
unrestricted reserves of £15,391.
This current level sits slightly above our
standard baseline target. The trustees
consider this to be a prudent and necessary
position at this time. This additional buffer
was intentionally built up through a diverse
funding mix and a successful BBC Breakfast
broadcast in early 2026. Holding these extra
funds ensures the charity is fully resilient and
well-resourced to safely navigate the
significant upfront costs associated with
launching 10 new community discos over the
next 12 months.|

uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going

financial position, anticipated future income,
and operational commitments for the next 12
months from the date of approving these
financial statements.
The trustees are pleased to report that there
are no material uncertainties that cast
significant doubt upon the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern.
This assessment is supported by the
following factors:
**Strong Cash Reserves:**The charity ended
the 2025 financial period in an excellent
liquidity position, holding £31,769 in cash at
the bank, with total unrestricted reserves
standing at £15,391.
**Diversified and Growing Income:**
Following our feature on BBC Breakfast in
January 2026, the charity secured an
immediate influx of direct public donations, a
major new corporate partnership, and a
300% year-on-year increase in income
during 2025.
**Controlled Fixed Overheads:**Our
operational model remains highly flexible,
with core project costs scaling alongside
secured funding, minimising structural fixed|
overhead risks.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis.

||||**Public Donations and Corporate**
**Partnerships:**Direct voluntary donations
from individuals, family members, and
supporters formed a vital pillar of our
income. This stream was significantly
accelerated by public advocacy and national
media coverage, such as our feature on
BBC Breakfast’s Rise and Shine segment,
which triggered a substantial wave of
individual donations and helped secure a
major new corporate partnership.
**Community Fundraising and Trading**
**Activities:**The charity generated significant
income through grassroots fundraising and
community-led initiatives. This included
revenue from ticket sales for our regular
community discos, care home outreach fees,
merchandise sales, local raffles, and our
annual dedicated fundraising event.

incoming resources across these streams,

the provisions set out in the constitution:
**Appointment Process:**Apart from the first
charity trustees named at inception, every
trustee must be appointed by a resolution
passed at a properly convened meeting of
the charity trustees.
**No Outside Bodies:**There are no external
persons, bodies, or organisations entitled to
appoint or elect one or more trustees to the
board. All appointments are handled
internally by the existing trustees.
**Selection Criteria:**In selecting individuals
for appointment, the trustees must have
regard to the skills, knowledge, and
experience needed for the effective
administration and strategic direction of the
CIO.
**Constitutional Limits & Eligibility:**
The constitution dictates that there must be
a minimum of three charity trustees at any
time.
Every trustee must be a natural person aged

**Induction and Training of Trustees**
Dementia Disco is committed to ensuring
that new trustees are effectively integrated
into the board and equipped with the
necessary knowledge and tools to fulfil their
governance responsibilities. The charity has
established a formal framework for trustee
induction and ongoing professional
development:
**Formal Induction Process**
Upon appointment, all new trustees receive
a comprehensive Trustee Induction Pack to
provide them with an understanding of the
charity’s operations, legal structures, and
strategic goals. The induction includes the
review, completion, and signing of several
key governance and compliance documents:
**Constitutional & Regulatory Framework:**
Trustees are provided with copies of the
Charity's Constitution and the official Charity
Commission Registration Document.
**Legal Compliance Declarations:**
New trustees must sign a Trustee
Agreement confirming they understand their
legal duties, alongside a Trustee Automatic
Disqualification Declaration in compliance
with Charity Commission rules.
**Ethical Standards & Governance:**
Trustees must review and adhere to a strict
Code of Conduct built on core principles
including prudence, integrity, accountability,
openness, and respect.
**Operational Transparency:**
The induction includes reviewing the
charity's organisational structure, current
financial funder profiles, and the formal
Expenses Policy.
**Support and Peer Guidance**
To ease the transition into their role,
Dementia Disco implements a "Buddy
System," pairing new trustees with an
existing member of the board. This system
offers peer support, fosters collaborative|
|---|---|---|
|||working practices, and helps first-time
trustees build confidence in making strategic
choices.
**Mandatory and Continuous Training**
The charity emphasises continuous
professional development to ensure high
standards of governance:
**Regulatory Reading:**Trustees are directed
to read vital statutory guidance directly from
the Charity Commission, including Charity
trustee: what’s involved (CC3a), guidance on
charity boards, and resources from Getting
on Board.
**Structured Training Modules:**All trustees
are required to complete the formal ICAEW
Trustee Training Course. This 4-hour, 6-
section course covers essential charity
management concepts and concludes with a
formal assessment to certify their
competency.
**Ongoing Review:**In line with the Code of
Conduct, trustees are encouraged to actively
participate in all training sessions provided
by the charity, welcome feedback, and take
personal responsibility for evolving their
governance skill sets.|

|The charity’s organisational
structure and any wider
network with which the
charity works|Para 1.51|**Structure, Governance and Management**
**Organisational Structure**
Dementia Disco is managed by a structured,
collaborative team that relies on defined
volunteer board roles and executive
leadership to fulfil its mission:
**Executive Management:**The charity
employs one paid staff member, the
Director, who is also a founding member of
the organisation. The Director operates
remotely from home and handles the day-to-
day administrative functions, internal
operational approvals (such as expenses),
and oversees the delivery of both venue-
based and care home mobile discos.
**The Board of Trustees:**The governing
body consists of a Board of Trustees who
work closely with the CEO to drive strategic
aims, monitor policy compliance, and ensure
legally compliant financial management. The
board's specific leadership positions include:
Chair (Simon Denegri)
Treasurer (Matthew Neilson)
Secretary / Head of Governance (Philippa|
Bostock) General Trustees (Nick Shaw, Leah Holmes, Johnny Noel). **Founding Members:** The charity was established by three founding members (Kate, Phil, and Nick) who possess vital lived experience of dementia, ensuring the organisation’s core services remain deeply rooted in empathetic, practical insight. **Wider Network and Working Relationships** Dementia Disco operates within a targeted local and national network of strategic partnerships, funders, and sector-specific bodies to deliver and expand its community services: **Healthcare and Care Services Network:** The charity works closely with Care Homes in the Stockport area to deliver specialised mobile Dementia Discos directly onto their premises, catering to residents unable to attend venue-based events. Furthermore, the charity actively seeks to build connections within the local NHS, dementia healthcare sector, and wider dementia care services to integrate its provisions into local care pathways. **Funding and Grant Partners:** The charity maintains active funding relationships with several key grant-making bodies that support its operational capacity: **The Fore:** Provides crucial unrestricted core funding to cover the CEO's salary. **Forever Manchester:** Collaborates as a restricted funder for specific community activities, such as the Blackpool Tower Ballroom trip. **Browne Jacobson:** Provides unrestricted funding supporting general charity running costs.
**Sector Networks & Professional Infrastructure:** The charity aligns its governance and trustee upskilling with professional sector networks, utilising guidance and educational frameworks provided by the Charity Commission, Getting on Board, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).
Dementia Disco has implemented strict
|Relationship with any related
parties|Para 1.51|policies to identify, manage, and record any
relationships with related parties to ensure
transparency and prevent conflicts of
interest:
**Founding Members and Executive**
**Leadership:**The charity was established by
three founding members (Kate, Phil, and
Nick) who maintain lived experience of
dementia. One of these founding members,
Kate Darby, serves as the charity's Director
and is currently the organisation's sole paid
employee. Her salary is funded via an
unrestricted grant awarded by The Fore.
**Management of Conflicts of Interest:**In
accordance with the charity’s Code of
Conduct and Trustee Agreement, all trustees
are legally required to maintain appropriate
professional boundaries and observe strict
provisions regarding the declaration of
interests. Trustees must declare all relevant
personal or professional interests at the time
a matter arises, regardless of whether it is
already on the register of interests.
**Voting and Decision-Making Guardrails:**
To ensure that no individual materially or
financially gains from their involvement
without explicit, compliant authorisation, any
trustee with a deemed conflict of interest is
restricted from speaking or voting on that
matter and may be required to withdraw from
the meeting room while the issue is
discussed and decided upon.|

||I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above
charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/12/2025.|
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
