| Report of the Trustees |
| for the Year Ended 31 March 2018 |
| The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their |
| report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2018. The trustees have |
| adopted the provisions of 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 2015). |
| OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
| Objectives and aims |
| The company's objects and principal activities are: |
| To advance education of persons who work with people who have dementia and similar conditions and those |
| who care for them |
| For the benefit of the public by promoting the development of high quality services for such people and their |
| carers. |
| The main focus of the work of the charity this year has been towards the project of empowerment for people |
| with dementia and their carers, called Life with Dementia. We engaged Dr Jane Rowley as a project |
| consultant to work towards the event. |
| Starting in spring 2018, we have consulted widely, including several people living with dementia, |
| representatives from a range of organisations, Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, and Innovations in Dementia. A |
| core group of people with lived experience of dementia has been formed to organise the event. The |
| programme will include the following themes: Support after diagnosis, Preparing for End of Life, Dealing with |
| Crisis, How Family and Friends Cope with Dementia Diagnosis. The event will also provide an opportunity to |
| launch a Nottingham Dementia Engagement and Empowerment (DEEP) group. Funds for the event and to |
| support the launch of the DEEP group have been provided in part by a grant from the National Lottery Awards |
| for All scheme. |
| The event, which was free to participants, took place on Wednesday 14th November 2018 at Nottingham |
| Racecourse. |
| We provided assistance to Music in Dementia Care workshops and contributed bursaries for four people who |
| attended a 2-day training Dance and Dementia workshop on 10th October and November 4th, 2017. |
| We still have our advisor, Kate Sartain, who brings new insights and experiences from a carers perspective to |
| meetings of the trustees. We were generously supported by a monthly grant from Dementia Research UK, for |
| which we are deeply appreciative. |
| Our part-time administrative officer helps with day to day administration of the charity. She will help with |
| responding to enquiries, contributing to the development of a new website, project and events; supporting |
| trustees maintaining and updating essential charity records, including policies; working with trustees to |
| complete annual returns to the Charity Commission and Companies House; and maintaining up-to-date and |
| accurate information. She helps Life with Dementia project 11 hours per week on a freelance basis. |
| We have identified that work would be required in 2018-19 to update our policies in various areas, such as |
| data protection. |
| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Training |
| We did not provide any training events in 2017-18. However, Life with Dementia event in November 2018 will |
| provide an important learning and training opportunity. It is planned to follow on from this in 2019. |
| AT Dementia |
| The Charity has continued supporting the ATdementia website and updating its resources for assistance |
| technology. The Disabled Living Foundation has agreed to manage ATdementia from next year. |

| Report of the Trustees |

| ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
| Plans for next year |
| The Charity is increasingly looking to position itself as an organisation to support dementia empowerment. |
| The Life with Dementia event is an important part of this and we hope it will be the first of series of such |
| events in future. |
| The establishment and support by Trent Dementia of a DEEP group is an exciting development. We will be |
| looking in the next year about how this can become sustainable. |
| Funds held as custodian trustees on behalf of others |
| The Charity does not have any assets. It operates on individual donations and grant funding from Dementia |
| Research UK received monthly. During 2017-18, we transferred our business account from NatWest to |
| Lloyds Bank. |
| FINANCIAL REVIEW |
| Financial position |
| The charity operated at a small surplus for the period. As indicated above, a significant spend on a new |
| project is anticipated in the future. |
| Reserves policy |
| The charity's reserves comprise of general reserves to provide working capital and to secure the continuity of |
| the charities activities in the future. |
| Going concern |
| The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going |
| concern. |
| STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
| Governing document |

| Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Trent Dementia Services Development Centre ('the |
| Company') |
| I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2018. |

| As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). |
| Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

| I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |

| 2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
| 3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or |
| 4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. |
| 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 |

| 1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard |
| applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements |
| have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| 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. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated |
| useful life. |
| Equipment |
| Taxation |
| The charity is exempt from corporation 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. |
| Debtors |
| Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial |
| recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the |
| charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to |
| be received. |
| Creditors |
| Creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective |
| interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case it is stated at cost |
| Cash at hand |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and |
| other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
