TRUSTEES’ REPORT 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024 

## Why we set up Screen Memories 

Our three original Trustees had all been involved in the Sports Heritage Scotland Reminiscence Project which used still images, memorabilia and film clips to trigger memories in older people who were living with dementia and other memory problems, as well as those who were lonely, socially isolated or living with long-term medical conditions. The groups tended to be predominately male-orientated and the decision was taken to develop Screen Memories as a means of achieving a better gender balance in the groups. 

Our main purpose is to reconnect people with their interest in films and early television by providing reminiscence sessions where memories can be recalled through visual images, posters and trailers. 

We also aim to link generations through the medium of film and television and encourage the exchange of experiences and memories. 

We believe there is an important role for older people in sharing their knowledge, recollections and experiences of cinema and television to contribute to a national resource of film and television heritage. 

## What we do 

We deliver structured reminiscence sessions in a variety of settings including care homes, day care, hospitals, community settings, libraries and cinemas. 

We use still images, posters, memorabilia and trailers as well as archive films and newsreels to trigger memories and past experiences based on cinema-going and early television viewing. We have extended our range of reminiscence activities to cover the Rock and Roll Era and we have established Jukebox Days using a similar format. 

## People we help 

Our main focus in the early stages of the project was on those living with dementia and other memory problems, and we have extended the coverage to include those older people who are lonely and socially isolated. Our main purpose is to improve the conditions of life and wellbeing of older people. We have also started to work with bereavement support groups, and this has proved successful. 

## Achievements and Performance 

The Reporting Year 2023-2024 saw a resumption of face-to face delivery. There was an increase in requests for sessions from care homes, day care, hospitals as well as several community groups and a hospice outreach organisation. Trustees kept in regular contact and meetings via Zoom ensured all Trustees engaged in the reshaping of the charity's work. Two of the Trustees are also involved in the direct delivery of services. They were in weekly contact.

## Our Sixth Year 

Now that normal service delivery was established, we received interest from several Meeting Centre venues, as well as requests for taster sessions from community and church groups. Service groups such as Rotary and Probus issued return invitations to address their members and extend awareness of the value of reminiscence for those living with dementia. 

We continue our regular presence on Twitter and X. We have maintained that on a regular basis, posting reminiscence triggers each day, for at least five days per week. We realise that we are relying on family members and carers to share the social media material with many of our client group. 

We also recognise that for many people access to hard copies of reminiscence materials was essential. We encourage family members, carers, and friends to help with the printing where possible. We continue to produce a weekly quiz/newsletter to help provide a stimulus and a talking point for phone conversations with relatives and friends. These reminiscence materials were shared widely by individuals, staff members and church and community groups. 

We continue to explore alternative means of delivery to members of our groups who have visual impairment or have lost their sight. Similarly, we are keen to involve people who have a hearing impairment. 

We continue to work to Memos of Understanding with Alzheimer Scotland and Age Scotland and have increased the number of Day Centres we now work with. We have established a monthly support for two groups dealing with a variety of mental health issues. 

Through the Youth Philanthropy Initiative (Y.P.1.) school students are helping promote the work of our charity. One senior school student now helps in the production of the weekly newsletter. Several schools have chosen to represent Screen Memories and there have been winners of school heats. We are keen to extend our involvement with schools and have been actively involved in a project to develop a Reminiscence Centre in Grangemouth Stags Rugby Club, involving high school students and club members. We would also look at increasing our involvement with schools on a national basis, through a Screen Memories competition. The contact with groups of staff and volunteers who are supporting people living with dementia in the USA continued. We hold weekly transatlantic sessions with a group in Vermont, based on Screen Memories and Jukebox Days. These sessions have given the Scots in our groups a new and interesting experience of "meeting" people from America sharing experiences of films and pop music and memories of their teenage years. The sessions give the members in our groups a new dimension and the excitement is palpable. The improvement in selfconfidence and mood is evident. 

We continue our partnerships with several organisations in the film sector, including commercial and community cinemas, and with charities involved with older people including Alzheimer Scotland, Age Scotland, and Care Scotland. We worked with Age Scotland in a Screen Memories project involving Bollywood films and a session was televised for STV News.

## Financial Review 

## Financial results 

In the year to 31 May 2023 the SCIO received income of £7,030 (2023: £3,740). The SCIO had payments of £19,720 (2023: £29,891). This resulted in a deficit in the year of £12,690 (2023: deficit of £26,151). Total funds under management at 31 May 2024 were £234,186 (2023: £246,876) of which all are unrestricted. 

## Trustees’ remuneration and expenses 

The Trustees received no remuneration for their services. Travel and other expenses of £3,144 (2023: £3,303) were paid/reimbursed to one trustee for delivering services. 

## Reserves Policy 

Our fund balance significantly exceeds our expected annual expenditure due to the unique circumstances of the receipt of the unplanned for legacy in 2022. The substantial legacy was totally unexpected, and Trustees have sought advice on the best ways to utilise these monies going forward. 

## Major risks facing the charity 

The trustees operate a risk management process to identify, evaluate and manage risks that the charity faces. A risk review during the year highlighted the following risks: 

e Ongoing delivery of services as a result of increased demand e Digital Transfer of resources 

Policies, procedures and controls are adopted and reviewed in order to mitigate the risks as far as possible.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## 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 prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Regulations
