TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2022.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity is to provide support and free, peer support activity holidays for teenagers and young adults (aged 14 to 30) who are living with cancer from anywhere in the UK and Ireland. A sibling orfriend can accompany each youngster for free.
Accommodation, meals, activities are provided by the charity with residential accommodation at Tracy Ann House in Bournemouth. The activities include horse riding, water sports, go karting, yoga, mindful foraging, arts & crafts and more, along with more themed weeks, such as a foodie week and wellbeing week, consisting of relevant activities to help improve life skills and promote healthy living for our occupants. The group are asked to choose which activities they take part in and all are optional.
Support also extends to digital and online support service, which include the social networking platform Realshare, now integrated within the main website youthcancertrust.org which provides an online space for young cancer survivors in the UK to share their experience with their peers and get involved with online activities and support groups. Youth Cancer Trust owns Realshare and provides moderation. This digital service also incorporates other social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram, which is monitored daily.
The ethos at the Youth Cancer Trust is to boost confidence, reduce isolation, provide invaluable ‘fun’ and ‘stress-free’ periods and more than anything brings normality and hope into the young people’s lives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Achievements and performance
During the financial year ending June 2022 we were open for residential holidays and online support continued in a private closed group on Facebook and on the Realshare area of the Youth Cancer Trust website.
The charity provides support for 206 young people on Realshare and a closed Facebook group. This space has been used since to provide the following:
-
Online fun activities including weekly quiz nights, yoga, cookery, arts and crafts, Bingo, raffles, tea and chat, and more
-
Weekly therapeutic support sessions with qualified practitioners (this has extended to one-to-one support)
-
Signposting for external support services – covering help for work, finances, shielding, mental health and wellbeing
The residential holidays and online groups have been run and moderated by YCT staff, and the Youth Cancer Trust Ambassadors have also played an important role in providing peer support to the group. The Trustees would like to thank them very much for their invaluable support.
In 2019, Youth Cancer Trust nominated 10 young people to be Youth Ambassadors, all of which have had personal experience of cancer and the Youth Cancer Trust experience. The Ambassadors work voluntarily to help promote the work of the Trust in their local areas (they are located across the UK) and they also took part in a workshop to discuss the future of the Trust, which provided invaluable input, some of which is being implemented, over the next couple of years. The trustees are extremely grateful to the ambassadors for giving their time.
Marketing to UK hospitals and other cancer related organisations has been undertaken and Social media advertising has been in place to increase awareness of the services Youth Cancer Trust provides to newly diagnosed cancer patients and their families.
YCT Fundraising is now able to fundraise in supermarkets.
A Google Adwords campaign has been running to market to potential new young patients and social media is used extensively to promote the work of the charity and to reach out to potential new young cancer patients, in light of the lifting of restrictions and the hope that young people living with cancer will be safe to travel in 2022.
The profile of the Youth Cancer Trust continues to be enhanced by the support of the Daily Echo (Bournemouth), local and national radio, local community groups, charitable trusts, private individual supporters and the local business community.
The Trustees would like to thank all the youth ambassadors, supporters, grant giving trusts, YCT Trading Limited, volunteers and all the benefactors for their support of the charity, especially during this challenging time.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Financial review
The Statement of Financial Activities is shown on page 8 of the financial statements.
Due to the uncertain nature of the charity's funding, it has remained the trustees' intention to maintain the charity's contingency reserves at an appropriate level that would enable uninterrupted services to be provided to the sick children and young adults and to cover any unexpected expenditure. At the year end £250,000 was designated for this purpose (2021 - £250,000). There is no planned expenditure date for the designated funds held at the year end.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will beable to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
- At the year end the charity's reserves totalled £519,077 (2021 £667,230). This was split as follows, £5,789 (2021 - £6,669) as restricted reserves, £350,000 (2021 - £625,000) as designated reserves and £163,288 (2021 - £35,561) as unrestricted reserves.
The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Structure, governance and management
Youth Cancer Trust (UK) Limited is constituted as a company limited by guarantee (company registration number 3436893) and is a charity registered for charitable purposes with the Charity Commission in England and Wales (charity registration number 1064736) and in Scotland (charity registration number SC043065).
The governing documents are the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The names of the trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set within Legal and Administrative Information. Trustees are appointed by the Board of Trustees and annually put themselves forward for reappointment by rotation. Any new trustees are provided with new trustee information pack on appointment.
The trustees meet quarterly, where possible, but there is also a fund raising committee of volunteers, which meets regularly and then reports to the full Board of Trustees. A trustee is present at the fund raising committee meetings. Key management remuneration is decided by the trustees during a trustee meeting. Trustee's related to key management personnel leave the room while the specific employees remuneration is discussed.
In the event of the charity being wound up during the period of membership, of within the year following, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Plans for future
The trustees aim to increase the number of teenagers and young adults who benefit from the Trust’s services through an extensive on-going marketing campaign to all the youngsters on the YCT database, all UK hospitals with Oncology units, parent support groups and cancer related charities.
New ways of marketing to reach newly diagnosed young people will be undertaken to include hospital visits and presentations to Oncology staff in 2023.
The Trust views the investment in Realshare and digital support services as a further way to extend its support of young people with cancer, expanding across the UK and Ireland to support all young people not only in terms of the holiday offer at Tracy Ann House but outside of that time. Realshare and all digital support services will be continually developed and maintained in response to the ever-changing requirements of young people and their use of social networks. The Trust plans to alter its charitable activities with the Charity Commission and the OSC in Scotland to incorporate ‘digital support services’ officially as part of its core services, especially in light of how successful and valuable this type of support has been over the last 2 years.
The charity is now planning to change the way it provides residential holidays from 2024 onwards. The transition will include the following:
-
The retirement of founder and house manager Brenda Clark
-
The sale of Tracy Ann House
The trustees have agreed that the financial requirements of the Trust to keep and maintain a large holiday house is prohibitive considering a decrease in income over the last 3 years.
It has been agreed that the charity will sell Tracy Ann House by Spring of 2023 and then transition to rent holiday accommodation in West Dorset from 2024 ongoing for a period of 12 weeks /pa (school holidays) – the time period is flexible and can be increased as and when required. The accommodation will include 2 properties, one of which has full disabled access, a fully equipped games room, swimming pool and access to many activities in the area and still close enough to take advantage of the benefits and activities that Bournemouth has to offer. At present there is no sale agreed on the property.
A chef will be hired to provide healthy food options for the groups and staffing will need to be increased to cover the support of the groups and the 2 properties.
The charity owned minibus will be sold and a minibus hired for the period of residential holidays.
The above changes will save the charity considerable costs.
The head office of the charity will move to a new premised in Dorchester.
The trustees wish to publicly thank Brenda Clark for her tireless service to the charity and young people with cancer since its formation in 1997.
Peer to peer support has been researched to be of benefit to young people with cancer to help reduce the sense of isolation experienced on diagnosis and throughout treatment to 5-year remission and also for young people living with the late effects of having had cancer and treatment as a teenager.

YOUTH CANCER TRUST (UK) LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The ongoing principal activity of the Youth Cancer Trust is to ‘listen’ to the needs of these young people at diagnosis, through and post treatment and to adapt its mission accordingly without losing the very essence of its core activity which is providing a safe and fun residential environment for peer support activity holidays and online support outside of the holiday experience.

1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Youth Cancer Trust (UK) Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 5 Studland Road, Alum Chine, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH4 8HZ, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial ReportingStandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
In line with many small charities, the charity relies on the continued support from its donations and fundraising activities to fund its costs. The trustees have prepared forecasts for the twelve months from approving these accounts that demonstrate that its expected income will enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Accordingly, the trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliable and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business.
1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amounts of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and in fundraising events.
-
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the provision of holidays and include both direct costs and support costs relation to these activities.
Any irrecoverable Value Added Tax has been included with the expense to which it relates.
