## **BREASTCANCER UNIT SUPPORT TRUST** ## **Trustees Annual Report for 2020/2021** The Breastcancer Unit Support Trust was established by a charitable trust deed on 8[th] January 2007 and is registered in England and Wales as charity number 1117508. **The main contact address is** : Mrs Jenny Wookey 14 Marshfield Park Downend Bristol BS16 2TA jnwookey@btinternet.com 0117 956 6522 **During 2020/21 the main Trustees were:** Jenny Wookey Simon Cawthorn Jackie Pask Lois Adams resigned 2021 Jacqueline Jones appointed 2021 ## **The Charity’s Objects** To help preserve health through prevention, detection and treatment of breast disease in men and women in Bristol and surrounding areas by providing, or assisting in the provision of equipment, facilities or services, and any other such charitable cause that the trustees see fit. ## **The Charity’s Main Activities** BUST is now in its 30th year and has now raised £1,984,215.19 to 31[st] January 2021. We continue to spend less than one per cent on expenses. Our total income for this year is £56,874.24. The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s Guidance on public benefit reporting, and we can confirm that all the fundraising activities that the Charity has been involved in are for the benefit of the public (in this case patients both male and female) who attend the Breast Centre each year for treatment breast abnormalities. Our BUST Members group of patients normally meets at the Breast Centre inside the Southmead Hospital Bristol. Due to the Covid pandemic we have not been able to meet. The Committee (we are eight volunteer/patients) accept many invitations to talk about breast cancer in men and women. We normally attend Church groups, Rotarians, Women’s Institute, Airbus - talking to men. Well Women Clinics for full days where our intention is not to fundraise but to educate and inform and support patients following treatment for Breast Cancer. But again, this has not been possible. We still receive donations from patients for the Charity which will be spent on medical equipment for the Centre. We look forward to a better time for all Charities and NHS staff. ## **Achievements and Performance** This has been a difficult time for the Bust Charity, as fundraising could not take place due to the Covid pandemic. We have, however, continued to receive money from very grateful patients. When we are able the charity will continue to pursue its main task of fundraising to help buy new technology to improve patient care. It will also continue to attend and represent patients’ interests at the Bristol Breast Care Centre. We provide our experience in looking from a patient’s perspective at new research items and publications. BUST is continuing its aim to purchase an MRI scanner or other needed medical equipment for the Breast Centre which will support patients. ## _**Trustees’ Responsibilities**_ The trustees recognise their responsibilities for keeping proper accounting records and preparing financial statements each year.
