It has LEen another encouraglng year for Wessex Cancer TrusL in vthich we've seen growth in the numtser of people that we are supFrf)rting, and achieved a strong finandal perforrnan￿. Thank you to all our donors, volunteers and staff that have contributed to this FX)sitive F()sit￿n. However, there Is Irore to LE thne. Every year around 14,000 people are diagnosed with cancer In the Wessex region and we know that 58% feel that their emotional n￿d5 are not being I￿ked after a5 much as their physical need5. To help address thi5, 2022 saw the launch of a new three-year strategy can￿ SupwrtforAII, which seeks to double our reach and tske our services to people and communities who have traditionally been less likely to seek our SUPF()rt. Our Services focus on the emotional health arKI wellbeing of anyone affected by Can￿r, whether it is the person livirvj with cancer themselves, or their loved ones. We offer personali5ed 5UPPOrt which is holistic and can include befriending, counselling and complementsry therapies in b)th one to one and group settings, as well a5 gentle exercise classes. As part of our thretryear strategy we are developing a communty outreach prtrJramme to extend the work teing delivered in our four cancer supp)rt ￿ntres. Worklng in partnershlp with others, we aim to reach individuals in geographlcal areas and communltles who have not prevlously accessed our servlces. Durlng 2022 we launched our fitst community Outreach pilot project in Andover. The pilot has enabled us to reach rEw clients whlle developing link5 within the local community and healthca￿ landscape, From Aprtl 2023 thls outreach ser￿￿ will L based in Andover's Prfmary Care Network (PCN) Health Hub, helplng us to reach even more Feople wlthin the local communlty. We have undertaken extensive scoping work to identify gecgraphlc and demogrnphic communities Whe￿ there are very few services offering emotional support for people affected by cancer, but where the￿ is a clear need for such 5ervlces. Infomed by thls work, in 2023 we will be focusing some of our resources to reach speclfic groups Indudlng men, people from deprived communf(bes and people who have pcor mentsl health. We will also continue to extend our reach into minorlty ethnic ccrfnmunlues, Geojraphically, we wlll develop our outreach to affjs that have few can￿r sUPPQrt Servi￿5. t)orchester is a priority in 2023, and we are also considering locations in North East Hampshire. Our outreach work has possible with a very generous grant received from Southampton Hospita15 Charity, with the proceeds of the sale of Banws artwork, Game Changer. l¥ge 3 of 40 Wessex Cancer Trust (Registered Company No: 05416311) Report of the Trustees (includlng director s report) For many of our dlents, gettlng back to nomal following the Fondemic has been difficult. With the Omi¢Jon variant causing concern in the early part of 2022, it tcok until the last quarter ￿fOre our Centres saw In-person cllent numbers return to pr&pandemic leve15. Our Servi￿5 team has engaged l(xally with the communlty, aThJ wlth hosiitsls, GP practi￿, charities and other healthcare providers to help restore confidence for ￿tentIal clients. We have Wn aglle and responslve to client needs, delivering a combination of in-Ferson and remte services, and will contlnue to do so in the future. Wessex Qncer Trust *rvitrs are embeddej in local communltles and nowhere Is that clearer than our Fopular Sing for Ufe cholrs. With three e5tablish&J choirs In Totton, Cosham and Salisbury, 2022 saw the launch of a new group on the Isle of Wight. Slnging can help lower stress, boost Immunity and lung function and Improve mental health, and our Informal singlng groups offer a supportfve community that ￿nefit many people affected by CaTh￿r. The cholrs regularly Sha￿ these benefits with the community by perfomlng at events such as Music in the aty in S)uthampton in September and our very own Christmas Concert which was held In St Peterfs Church In Thtdifield. Dudng the year we were In attendance at many community events to ralse awa￿neSS of our servlces, including visiting local mosques and temples, and tsking part In a number of the reglon'5 Pride events. For the Qu￿n'S Jubilee event in Eastlelgh, our services, retall and fundraising teams of staff and volunteers joined together to showcase our work to thousands of people in the l(xal area. In addition to our Centre on the Isle of Wight, Wessex Can￿r Trust provides tsyo Dalsy Buses to supwrt patlents frcffl the Island who are coming for treatment In l>ortsmouth or S)uthampton. Thls seNlce Is also provlded to patlents from Jersey, under a contract wth the ststes of Jersey Government and with the supp)rt of our long-term partner, Jersey Can￿r Trust. Wessex Cancer Trust seNices are a vital part of the local can￿r provision, complementlng what 15 offered by the NHS and other charttie5. Partner5hlp working is a prforlty for the &￿rd. As well as our contract with the Ststes of jersey, we are contracted by three NHS h05Pitals to deliver counselling or complerrentsry therapies enabllng us to reach more Feople in a c05t eff￿1ve way. We also work closely with the w￿SeX Can￿r Allian￿ and other charities with l(xal support centres such as Maggie's and Macmillan. The delivery of our services is dependent on the energy and enthuslasm of our people. The Trustees offer our heartfelt thanks to the volunteers, employees and sessional worker5 who have been involved with Wessex Cancer Trust in 2022. In common with many charftles, recrultsnent and retention of both staff and volUnt￿rS has b￿n a challenge, and this is extetted to continue into 2023 and beyond. In response we have remewed our wllcles around Issues such as flexible working, and we are investlng In Wellteing at Work initiatives and increased HR ard volunteer management support. Page 4 of 40 Wesgex Cancer Tr1￿ (Registered Company No: 05416311) Report of the Trustees (includlng dlrector's report) As a charity which depends on fundraising and retail income, 2022 has an urKertaln year; as things settled down after the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis began to bite. Despite this we finish￿1 the year with total income of £2,543,018 (2021: £3,123,236), giving an overall net surplus of £832,746 (2021: £1,845,045). In large ￿rt, this surplus was the result of another strong year for legacy income which raised £827,054 (2021.. £1,739,287). We are so grateful to all those individuals who choose to leave a gift in their will. This continues to be a very unTrrtain income stream and 50 the Trust￿5 have agreed to designate some of these fund5 to enable the charity to develop, Improve and expand Its reach and range of servi￿5 as part of the strate9ic plan. This will enable us to plan wlth confidence, knowlng that there Is a mitigation In the event of lower legacy income in future year5. During the year we also reccgnlsed the receipt of funds for a lease surrender agreement c our Bournemouth centre. The Centre wa5 re*stabllshed in a temp)rary home at the end of 2021 and dur6ng 2023 we will Le searchlng for a more ￿rrnanent location. In 5￿p5, our dedlcated team achieved a slgnlflcant upllft In overall sales on the previous year, with total Income of £530,759 (2021,. £365,119). Thls upllft refiects the impart of Covid dlsruptl¢2n In the prior year, as well as encouraging underlying sales growth as the year proJre55ed. Our investment In Trust fundralsing in tx)th 2020 and 2021 has continued to pay divldends. In March the major grant we secured towards our outreath work, was the hlghe5t we￿e ever received, and we also enjoyed the second of three years of National Lottery funding for our work. Wbth a cost-of-llving crisis affertlng people's disposable income, our fundralslng events vRre launched with a degree of cautlon and we have been pleased that they have broadly teen successful. It has been partlcularly encouragiro to see the rebound of our communty fundralslng and we a￿ hugely gratefvl to the thousands of people have taken on challenge or organised their own events to ralse money for Wessex Can￿r Trust, The Trustees extend our sincere thanks to the many charltsble trusts, companles, Individuals and organisations who support our work through donations and fundralsing. By year end, our Income from fundraising achieved a small increase of 4.5% on the previous year reaching £848,188 (2021: £811,442). The surplus achieved in 2022 ha5 enabled us to achieve free reserve5 of £1,183,721 (2021: £1,157,256), wtth designated fvnd5 against future projects teing 1￿C￿ased to £1,200,000 (2021: £609,437). This maintains our fr￿ reserves in line with our reseNes policy of holdi te￿en £0.9m and £1.3m. We are proud of the progress we've made during the year to SUPFM)rt thousands of pex)ple affected by Can￿r, while maintaining a healthy financial position. Our achievements have een many and varied and none would have been possible without the hard worK passion and stoicism of staff and volunteers, to whom we owe huge thanks. p￿sOf40 Wessex Cancer Trust (R•gistered Company No: 05416311) Report of the Trustees (induding dlrectorfs report) But our work is not done- we are still only reaching a fTrttion of the people that could benef from our servi￿, so this healthy position gives us a remarkable oppjrtunity to invest in both services and income generation over the next f&Y years, to build a sustainable organisation that is dellverlng to more F£orAe In the future.

In rewewing our aims and objectives and planning our future activities, we have refe￿￿ to and complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 (including amendments Introduced by the Charities Act 2022). Thls relates to havlng due regard to the Charity Commission's publlshed general guidan￿ on public benefit. In particular, the Trustees consSder how planned actlvltle5 will contribute to the aim5 and objectives they have set.

Our Approach to Safeguardlng In 2018 the Charlty Commission undedlned that charltles must be trusted pla￿5 where people can feel safe. At Wessex Cancer Trust we have Safeguardlng pJlicle5 and procedures for Adults and Children which reflect current leglslatlon such as The Mental Capacity Act 2005, SafèJuarding Vulnerable Groups Att 2006 and the Care Act 2014. The Mults-Agency Safeguarding Adults Pollcy and Guidano (June 2020) developed by the Safeguardlng Adults Boards In Hampshi￿, Southampton, Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, informs our trainlng for staff and volunteers.

Page7rf40 Wessex Cancer Trugt (Reglstered Company No: 05416311) Report of the Trustees (Includlng dlrectorfs report) On c£caslon we use external agencles to deliver fundraising activities. All attlvlty is delivered to Servi￿ level agreements which are monitored through regular meetings, mystery shopping and regular revlew of feedback arKJ any complaints. Agencies are contractually required to ensure all fundrai51ng activity is in accordantr with all appllcable legal re]uirements and the relevant t￿ndIng codes of Practi￿ issued by the Fundrai51ng Regulator. Professional fundralsing agencles mLfSt have clear and up to date wlicies in pla￿ to protect vulnerable people and other rnem￿rs of the public from unreasonable behaviour. In 2022 no complaints at()ut Wessex Cancer Trust fundraislng prattices or activities were received by the fundraislng regulator. How we performed agalnst our goals Durlng 2022 we aimed to deliver against four prforftles outlined in our 2022-24 strategy CancerSupportforAII Priority I . More people will access our Mrvices Our alm to double the number of cllents ty the end of 2024 had a strong start, wlth a 54% uplift on 2021 client numbers receiving direct emotlonal and wellbeing suppjrt sery1￿5. This was through the delivery of over 7,500 supFort sesslons including amongst others, counsdling, complementary therapies, befriending, exercise aTrJ Sing for Life sessions LM)th individually and in groups. In addition, the total number of Indlvldual Dalsy bus Journeys increased by 8010 to over 11,500 which was largely a reflectlon of cancer SeNi￿S at hospitals getting back to nomial after Covld. Many of our servios have continued to be delivered at our four Cancer Support Centres which are based In,. Bournemouth, Dorset Chandlers Ford, Hampshi Hythe, Hampshlre NÈwrort, tsle of Wlght A key fccus for our strdtegy was the development and launch of a new communlty Outreach prc#Jramme which was heavily reliant on securing a funding grnnt. We were notified of a suctrssful outcome to our grant application in March, and since then we have undertaken extensive scoping worK with the launch of our first pilot in Andover in Septemter 2022. Thls pilot highlighted a numLv of learnings, so the launch of a second pilot which was targeted for 2022 was delayed until 20231 giving time to build up our rerTr*e service offering. During 2022 we successfully continued to deliver a blended provision of remote and in person SUPFQrt. The Trustee5 reccgnise that to Sustain toth in the future will rquire additional resources. Page 8 of 40 Wwsex Cancer Trust (Reglstsred Company No: 05416311) Report of the Trustees {Indudln9 dlrectorfs report) In our Cent￿, we continue to respond to demand, trialling new se￿￿ offerings and dlfferent OFening hours. For example, in the Waterside can￿r 5UPF(irt Cent￿ in Hythe, the team has Suc￿sfUllY established a women's evening support group to enable working women to attend. To improve our Servi￿ in the longer temi, we aimed to enhan￿ our understanding of trend5 in our dient base. During the year we have suc￿$$fullY implemented a new client database which is enabllng u5 to analyse data and use this to Inform service development. An ongoing challenge that we face, is how to raise our profile wlth ptentlal cllents. Our service5 tearnls focused on buildlrwJ relationships with dlnlcal and healthcare staff to ensure we continue to S￿ referrals. We also recojnlse the need to bulkl brand rKognitlon to the general publlc and during the year we have urthrtaken the first stage cl a limited brand refresh, consulting stakeholders and cold audlences thrcwgh a sedes of surveys and focus groups.

Prlorlty 3: We w511 seek out meanlngful strateglc partnershlps sin￿ it was founded, Wessex Can￿r Trust has worked with other partner5, Particulady the NHS, to provide supwrt services that complement cantrr services offered elsewhere. In 2022 we have focused on continuing to bLSild these rdationships toth at a region-wide and communlty level in order that we might Influen￿ the Ic(ol cancer agenda and advocate for our clients.

Additionallyi the Trust￿ set aside a further £590,563 from unrestricted legacy income rereived during the year, to increase designated funds to £1,200,000 (2021: £609,437), As legacy income can te so volatile, the application of these designated re5erve5 over the n￿dIUM term will enable the charity to develop, improve and expand its reach and range of servi￿, and this is revieNed by Trust￿ as part of the strategic planning pr(￿&5.
