Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
In planning our fundraising, we always keep in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. We hold our general meetings to reach the newly diagnosed cancer sufferers and their families with much needed help and advice, with speakers attending, when possible, to give their guidance and direction. We can offer support to those who have recently lost someone to cancer through openly sharing feelings and experiences or by telephone support, through visiting patients and their families at home or in hospital, through help with transport to appointments and sessions, through offering discretionary financial assistance (if required) and through offering ongoing everyday practical help.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Donations received this year have recovered to pre covid amounts and hopefully will continue to increase as events slowly return to normal. The shop income is a little lower than normal but is still a good source of funding.
The deficit in funds this year is due to the purchase of another premises with the intention to merge the existing community centre with the shop to enable all our activities to be run “under one roof”.
During the year we helped 23 cancer sufferers and their families with financial support.
