BREASTCANCER UNIT SUPPORT TRUST Trnstees Annual Report for 2023120245 The Breastcancer Unit Support Trust w&s established by a charitable trust deed on 8 January 2007 and is registered in England and Wales as charity number 1117508. The main eontaet address is: Mrs Jenny Wookey 14 Marshfield Park Downend Bristol BS16 2TA nwooke btinternet.com 0117 956 6522 During 202312024 the Trustees were: Jenny Wookey Simon Cawthorn Jackie Pask (resigned wef 31.01.24) Jacqueline Jones The Charity's Objectives To help preserve health through prevention, detection and treatment of bre&8t 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 32nd year and has raised £4,305,993.36 to 31. January 2024. We continue to spend less than one per cent on expenses. Our total income for this year is £2,216,062.83. 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 abnornialities. The Committee (we are eight volunteerlpatients) accept many invitations to talk about bast cancer in men and women. We attend Church groups, Rotarians, Women's Institute, Airbus, BT and many others. Pre-covid, we attended Well Women Clinics for full days where our intention is not to fundraise but to educate and infonn and support patients following treatment for Breast Cancer. We are hoping to get back to that when they restart. We receive donations from patients for the Charity which will be spent on medical equipment for the Centre. Achievements and Performance We were extremely fortunate to receive a large legacy of £2m towards the purchase of the MRI scanner. We were so grateful for this and were able to purchase the scanner along with a maintenance plan which is positioned at Cossham Hospital. Peaches Goulding, Lord Lieutenant of the County and City of Bristol, officially opened the scanner on 9 January 2024. We have noticed an increase in the number of fundraising activities since the Covid pandemic, however, the level is not as high as pre-covid. The charity has continued to pursue its main task of fundraising to help buy ncw technology to improve patient care. It wil l 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.
