Trustees Annual Report

Introduction

Yeleni remains the only local complementary therapy centre offering counselling, therapies and workshops free of charge to cancer patients and their carers.

The demand for our support that demonstrated a dramatic rise in 2022-23 has remained high. We reached a major milestone this year when our 1000[th] patient was referred.

Core Service

We have introduced a wider range of therapies, therapists and activities and launched a number of specialist support groups.

The Yeleni Breast Cancer Support Service launched in March 2024, supported with funding from Macmillan. 70 people attended the launch event, including our patron Lady Darnley, our trustees, plus other local dignitaries and supporters. Monthly meetings are held, offering specialist talks, activities and social connection. Free additional support from a Breast Cancer Nurse specialist has been provided and Pilates classes have been added to the offer, increasing the degree of mobility post-surgery and treatment. Support following diagnosis and treatments for breast cancer remains the number one reason for referral.

Further support groups have also begun, in response to patient demand, offering peer support for those with intimate body cancers, such as a gynaecological cancer support group, and a men’s cancer support group.

Outreach & Extended Support

Our outreach befriending service, online group and workshop series continue to offer support. A variety of self-help skills workshops continue to provide social support. This support remained essential this year to those who remain isolated by treatments, condition or mental health and maintained their connection to the Yeleni community.

Events & Awareness

We have attended a variety of community networking, business and fundraising events raising awareness of our service offer both to private clients and those with cancer diagnoses. We have supported workplace wellbeing for a number of businesses, including the NHS initiative ‘Caring for You’ study days for local midwives.

Our social media presence on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn raises awareness of national days – such as World Cancer Day and other specific cancers – and highlights of our support work. We continue to focus on building a sense of community, connecting people across our rural county. A Website development programme and refresh this year more effectively links people to the support they need.

Funding

Full detailed evidence of income and expenditure in this period is provided in the accounts. Trusts and Grants

Grants and Trusts continue to be our main source of income, with funding this year from national funders The National Lottery Community Fund, St James’s Place Foundation, The Hospital Saturday Fund and more locally The Turner Trust, The Rowlands Trust and the E. F. Bulmer Trust.

We are grateful to all these funders for supporting us to deliver our service.

Community Support

Fundraising events included the last large format Nozstock Festival which has historically been a fabulous opportunity for us to showcase our work and raise significant funds from generous donations. Supporters such as the daredevil octogenarian who completed an acrobatic WingWalk this year, Hereford Hockey Club that held a 24-hour event, and the cancer survivor who organised a Golden Valley Walk - supported by hundreds of people - raised funds in the thousands. No less important to us though are those who have held coffee mornings or knitted Easter chicks.

1:2 of us will receive a cancer diagnosis and every £ raised is appreciated. We thank every funder and fundraiser and private client for their support in helping us continue to help those in need of our free programme of therapies and support.

The Yeleni team of therapists also offer private client work and the room rental generated from this covers our building rent.

Yeleni depends on these different income streams in varying proportions. We remain alert to changes in the grant funding and community fundraiser environment and will seek to diversify our funding sources to ensure the sustainability of the charity.

Staffing

Nicky Heath, the founder of the Charity, continues leading with vision and passion as CEO and Manager.
