Our 40th Anniversary year kicked off with a packed calendar of events. commencing with open days al Barrow. Kendal and Slynedales presenting the limeline of Cancercare and concluding with our sell-oul Ball held al Morecambe Football Club. CEO Alison Stalnthorpo The economic climale has remained a challenge due to the residual. negative impact of both Ihe pandemic and the global political silualion. Cash is not being carried as plentifully as il once was. and this has an adverse effect upon local fundraising and general giving. We closed the year wilh income al -£266k vs the previous year. Legacies, notoriously dillicull lo predicl, were significantly down vs 2023 and highlights the importance ol diverse. multiple income streams. We are working hard across all income streams to increase their contribution to our lotal income. In addilion, focus upon efficiency has contributed to mainlaining expenditure al 2023 levels. The Big Conversation initiative which was slarted last year is central in our approach lo efficiency and extensive consullalion with our Therapists about how we maximise our seNices, has resulted in some new inilialives that are proving successful, demonslrating thal we can reduce costs whilst maintaining an effective service lo clients. For example, groupbased therapies can be very effective lor clients and are more efficient for our organisation. The year presented an increase in referrals of 50A, however we have managed lo reduce therapy costs by 50/0 through reducing the number ol sessions available which is allowing us to manage Iherapy costs appropriately, albeit with the resulling implicalions of a waiting list. We have experienced signilicanl recruitment challenges throughout the period and have been unable to replace leavers in a timely manner. Appointing into new positions has also proved very difficult. This has resulted in a prolonged shoilage ol resources which has had an adverse elfect on leams throughout the organisation. These challenges highlight the efforts made by everyone Ihroughoul the organisalion in whatever capacity Ihey hold, the year has been a lough one for all. On behalf of the Trustees, I commend Ihem all on Iheir resilience, creativeness and commitment. Finally, our thanks go out to all Ihe supporters who make li possible for Cancercare lo continue lo provide its services. We remain independent of any olher charily and ol the NHS, therefore without income geneiated from fundraising activities, or the money donated by our many supporlers. Cancercare would not exist. Your support is our lifeblood and for this we thank you. Chalr Andrew Blrchall Can¢erC4re A#nual Report and Accounts 202a124 tctéoancorcare.org*uk Mission, Vision and Values Why we do what we do...

The overall average is based on just the first four measuies. In addition. we are also trialling Ihe use of the HACT'S (Housing Association Charitable Trust) Social Value Calculator, to evaluate the financial impact ol Ihe work we do. Similar lo MYCaWs and SDQS, clients are asked a series of queslions al Ihe beginning of Iheir therapy, and again at the end. The answers given to these, and the dillerences between Ihem. are used to calculate a financial value ol the therapy received, in terms of the fiscal benefit to other organisalions, such as benelils, tax income and cost reductions. On average we are seeing an average HACT social value benefit of around £5k - were this replicated across all our 1.1 work in 2023-24, this would equale to a social value benefit of approximately £7.18 million.

Cancercare has held nearly 17,000 therapeutic sessions this year,. which is an incredible achievement! THE IIBIG CONVERSATION91 AND THERAPIST.LED BEREAVEMENT GROUPS Lasi year, the 'Big Conversation" looked at how we can maximise the number ol people our service can supporl while remaining sustainable. One idea, sparked from therapist and client discussion, was that of Iherapeutic groups. Excitingly, we are now implementing our first slruclured Iherapisl-led bereavemenl group. aided by the lunding we received from the National Lottery's Awards for All. The pilot study allows us lo design a framework for Ihe group to be rolled out lo other centres, which il will do over the coming year. We have asked ourselves key questions, such as which clients will benefit most Irom Ihe inlervenlion? How do we hold a sale space for Ihe clienls? What grief theory do we want to cover? How do we measure the impact on clients, and how do we uphold our professional and elhical standards? This has led to us creating guidelines for which clients may not be appropriate for groupwork, including those who have experienced a bereavement of less than six monlhs ago so their griel is still raw, and those with more complex needs. These clienls would do beller with the locus of 1-1(Fl counselling. The group will be held by two experienced counsellors and each session will have an educational aspect. For example, discussing a parlicular theory of grief and then a space for clients to share their grief journey. Grief can be a lonely road and being part of a Iherapist-led group provides clients with a sale space lo talk through their emotions while feeling cared lor and respecled.ll allows for connection, loo, and we hope that clienls may form friendships which support them once their group has finished. CPD FUND Therapists utilised the Continuing Professional Developmenl (CPD) fund to gain qualifications in Scar Tissue Massage Practitioner and Trauma Informed Dietetic Care. Both qualifications are highly relevanl lo the work at Cancercare and have added to our wealth ol knowledge and experience.

We launched Dare2Dip as an annual virlval fundraiser for our 401h Anniversary year, and we've seen a range of businesses, supporters, stall and politicians lake on a cold waler dip, raising over £17,000 across the year. We have been extremely thankful lo our supporters who have oiganised communily fundraisers or taken on their own peisonal fundraising challenges, often in memory ol loved ones.

Incomo and expenditura Total income for the year was down by £265.783 at E1,570,570 (2023: £1,836,353). This was largely due to a reduction in the nLtmber of legacies we received. It has been a challenging year wilh slalling shortages but good to see both an increased uplake ol our events and an improvement ol some of the tradilional fundraising income streams, despite the ongoing cosl of living crisis. Awards from trusts and income from grants continue lo make a signilicanl contribution lo our work and we are graleful for this recognition of the value of our services by the funders who have supported us. We receive quarlerly perlormance reports, and our Inveslmenl Manager is invited lo our finance committee meeiings as required.

Continuing our '8ig Conversation, and looking al ways to ensure the financial sustainability of the Charity against a backdrop ot increasing referrals. we reduced the number of therapy sessions, looked to increase our group offer and increased our wailing list.
