Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Chartwell Cancer Trust (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
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’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

THE CHARTWELL CANCER TRUST
(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 May 2024
The directors of the charitable company (“the charity”) are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees. They present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2024.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 6 to 16 of the accounts and comply with the Charitable Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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) (effective 1 January 2015)”.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee of its members, incorporated on 16 February 2005, constituted under its memorandum and articles of association dated 16 February 2005 and is a registered charity, number 1109784.
The trustees are appointed by the charity at the Annual General Meeting. The memorandum and articles of association provide for a minimum of three trustees, with no maximum. At each Annual General Meeting, one third of the trustees are subject to retirement by rotation. The trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office. If the charity does not fill the vacancy of a retiring trustee at the meeting, the retiring trustee, if willing to act, will be deemed to have been reappointed.
Risk management
The charity’s trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage those risks.
Objectives for the public benefit and activities
The objective of the charity is the relief of persons suffering from cancer and leukaemia by providing financial support to the Chartwell Unit situated in the Princess Royal University Hospital in Farnborough, Kent or such other hospitals or organisations as the trustees may determine, to purchase equipment, and by any other charitable means which the trustees determine.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives.
Grant making policy
The hospital identifies a staffing or vital equipment requirement and applies to the charity for funding. The charity reviews funds available and agrees upon a fixed time period during which the charity will fund the wages of members of staff.

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 May 2024 (continued)
Achievements and performance
During the year, the trust has been actively fundraising and was successful in raising £629,462 through donations from patrons, social events, sponsored events and donations from the supporting public.
Financial review and reserve policy
As well as fulfilling its aims and objectives, the charity continued to support The Lily Pad Appeal funding a new paediatric oncology ward in the Integrated Paediatric Village in Croydon University Hospital.
The charity continues to focus on and expand its charity shops and also operates a local charity house clearance service.
Total income for the year amounted to £646,999 (2023: £731,250), a decrease in activities for generating funds which can be seen on page 6. This has restricted the charity’s ability to pledge more funding in pursuit of its objectives and to extend its reach
The charity continues to provide administrative support by way of donated services to The Chartwell Children’s Cancer Trust CIO (Charity number: 1162907). During the year to 31 May 2024 that charity, with the support provided by The Chartwell Cancer Trust, raised through its activities a total of £281,582.
The charity has a deficit for the year of £29,290 (2023: £57,601). The charity has continued in its pledge to support the hospitals with which it works to support staff and patients. Its resources for the current year have been challenged by the timing of known legacies which would otherwise have resulted in a surplus for the year. On the 1 July 2024, the charity received a single legacy of £129,250 which had been expected at the year end. Since that date, further legacies have also been notified and are expected to be received in 2025 financial year, expected to be over £200,000.
The charity has a target to achieve a reserve equal to 3 months running costs and the trustees aim to achieve this without compromising its ability to provide support and financial assistance in furtherance of the charitable objective. As at the balance sheet date, the charity fell short of its target and intends to allocate resources as efficiently as possible during the course of the coming years to build up sufficient reserves in line with this policy.
Plans for the future
The charity intends to continue with fundraising events and to increase the number of patrons of the charity in order to secure a level of regular ongoing income.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of The Chartwell Cancer Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the
THE CHARTWELL CANCER TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
4
Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 May 2024 (continued)
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

THE CHARTWELL CANCER TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024
1. Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
(b) Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The trustees have received unsecured interest free loans from its trustees at the balance sheet date to allow the company to meet its liabilities. The trustees have evaluated the performance of the charity and have an expectation that the deficit is temporary and shall be reversed within 6 months. The trustees’ loans are the single biggest creditors and they have confirmed that they shall not seek repayment of the loans until such time that the charity has the resources to do so without impacting on the charity’s ability to meet its liabilities and obligations as they arise. On the 1 July 2024, the charity received a single legacy of £129,250 which had been expected at the year end. Further legacies have also been notified and are expected to be received, expected to be over £200,000 by 31 May 2025.
On this basis, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
(c) Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
(d) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources and it is certain that the resources will be received and the monetary value of the incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
(e) Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
9
THE CHARTWELL CANCER TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024
(f) Allocation of overhead and support costs
Overhead and support costs have been allocated between charitable activity and governance on an ‘apportionment’ basis according to the nature of the costs involved.
(g) Governance costs
Governance costs are those associated with compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and is allocated, along with other support costs, to charitable expenditure.
(h) Taxation
The company is a registered charity and as such its income is exempt from income tax and corporation tax under the provisions of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 to the extent that it is applied to its charitable objectives. The cost of irrecoverable VAT incurred has been included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
(i) Fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of each asset over its expected useful life. The charity has adopted the policy of writing assets of at 33.3% per annum on a reducing balance basis.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
(j) Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
10
THE CHARTWELL CANCER TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
(k) Financial instruments
The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(l) Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
(m) Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
11
THE CHARTWELL CANCER TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 May 2024
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(n) Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
(o) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
- In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Unrestricted Funds are those available for use at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the charity’s objectives.
12. Post balance sheet events
In the period since the balance sheet date, the charity has received significant legacies from the estate of generous supporters which have not been recognised in these accounts as the charity was not in receipt of the funds nor was it able to quantify the amounts or timing in all cases. The Trustees therefore excluded these amounts until the funds had been received.
