Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The Trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1st January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Context and objectives
Dementia describes a group umbrella term used for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain functions. The most common type is Alzheimer's Disease. People with dementia are at an increased risk of debilitating health problems. They become increasingly dependent on health and social care services and on extended family and friends whose lives are in turn impacted by the provision of 24-hour care, 7 days a week - exhaustion and social isolation often result in physical and mental health being affected.
In response, The Forget Me Not Charity, located in Banchory in Aberdeenshire, exists to:
-
Reduce isolation and improve social contact and quality of life for people with dementia and their careers.
-
Provide respite breaks to allow family to continue in their caring role.
-
Help maintain the functional and cognitive abilities and well-being of those with dementia.
-
Provide information, support and advice.
To deliver these, the Charity:
-
Involves our clients in a range of activities and provides respite to carers/families.
-
Promotes awareness of dementia issues in the community through effective advocacy.
-
Partners with like-minded organisations and raises charitable funds.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
CLIENT METRICS as of end March 2025
-
Client numbers in the review period have increased to around 75.
-
Service provision has also been adapted with a mixture of attendance at our resource center in Banchory, attendance at remote secondary club locations (Aboyne and Alford) and outreach where staff members visit clients within their own environment.
-
Clients come from locations throughout the Deeside corridor from Aberdeen to Braemar with Banchory remaining the largest core area for clients.
-
Utilization is c. 5 hours/12 clients /1.2 sessions a week; several clients rely on Forget me Not for transportation.
These metrics show evidence that our resource facility, Bennett House in Banchory, is soundly established on a 4 day-a-week basis, with fund-raising coffee mornings on Saturday mornings. Our paid staff, volunteer base and student-placement team provide stimulation, meals and support. A wide range of recreational opportunities, trips and visiting entertainment and activities aims to stimulate and reduce isolation.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funding was provided partly by Aberdeenshire Council - this amount has decreased over the last few years and no grant funding was received in 2025/26. The bulk of our funding now comes from donations and a wide range of fund-raising activities. Our policy is that there is no entry or participation fee however a small donation is suggested where possible. The charity therefore relies significantly on effective fund-raising and grant support - a key focus area for trustees is to ensure support for a full-time fundraising and events coordinator position.
Notwithstanding all the fundraising efforts the charity returned a small deficit for the year due to a combination of lower revenues and higher costs; primarily staff. This has been funded by a draw down in reserves.
STRATEGY
The Forget Me Not Team and Board continue to have a medium/long term goal of expansion however the current funding and cost environment has resulted in a near term focus on ensuring continued provision of existing services. The trustees do however continue to investigate further outreach and how this might be optimally achieved in a sustainable way.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated organisation on 10th April 2012. It is governed by a constitution and recognised as a charity by OSCR. It is managed by 6 Trustees who meet monthly and are appointed by the membership of the Forget-Me-Not Charity at their AGM.
The period under review saw only very limited changes within the organisation as the focus was on continuity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Forget-Me-Not-Club
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Forget-Me-Not-Club
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Forget-Me-Not-Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Intangible fixed assets
Trade marks, acquired in 2018, were initially recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation. These trade marks have now been fully amortised.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - not provided Improvements to property - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Motor vehicles - 20% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% on cost
The trustees consider that the residual value of the Freehold property will not be less than its original cost.
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
