CARING CANCER TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. 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 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

To fund ethical original and non-animal tested research into cancer prevention, treatment and cure and to provide information on cancer prevention and cure.

To relieve sickness and to help persons recover from cancer, in particular, but not exclusively, for children with cancer.

Public benefit

All the activities of the Trust focus on delivering community benefit and are in accordance with the objects of the Trust.

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Chairman's Report

Two legacies valued at £54,039, together with donations totaling £13,091, enabled CCT to donate £60,000 to Manchester University Cancer research laboratories. This will be the 15th year that CCT has funded ethical animal-free research at Manchester University laboratories into cancer, its ethical, non-invasive treatment, cure and prevention for children and adults.

Brexit and Covid Shutdown put paid to our Alpine ski/snowboard/dinghy programme of Creative Adventure for UK children cancer survivors. We wish to restart this child group programme in Britain, giving back their self-confidence and passion for life after the trauma of their cancer illness and their lengthy debilitating chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. We have therefore arranged a PGL Group week of Adventure in summer of 2023 at their resort in Norfolk.

In the absence of our Group Children Alpine programme we have given £4,810 to four hospital paediatric oncology units, and indigent adult cancer sufferers.

Charity Shop sales have not yet recovered after the Covid Shutdown and footfall loss that this entailed. We have therefore closed one shop in Ryde and moved staff and stock to the other more central Ryde shop.

Ian MacWatt

Hon. Chairman

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CARING CANCER TRUST

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Caring Cancer Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Caring Cancer Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

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

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.
