## Note from the Chairman
**Who thought we would be reporting on another year in which we had to react to the restrictions of the COVID pandemic? Another year of difficult times, but we feel that our response has been positive.**
Smaller charities have an energy and innovative spring and have the ability to make changes quickly. UK statistics show that one in two people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and surveys are suggesting that half the people with cancer signs and symptoms did not contact their GP during the first pandemic wave. Therefore, the voice of UCARE has never been more important.
The voice of UCARE has never been more important
We aim to increase knowledge about lifestyle choices in line with the NHS advice that ‘prevention is better than cure’ and to improve survival rates through earlier detection. Keeping people well, living at home and out of hospital for longer, targeting the root causes of poor health and promoting good health is core to our values.
Our main objective during the last year has been to focus on adding information to our website in order to respond quickly and change the way our service is delivered. In this report, you will read that we have just two part-time staff and it’s amazing to think what they have delivered in the last year faced with the difficulties of funding, working from home and meetings mainly on Zoom.
**Jim Mitchell** Chair, Board of Trustees
**The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2022.**
The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) _Accounting and Reporting by Charities_ (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Charity.

## Our aims and objectives
**UCARE aims to promote good health and relieve sickness in relation to the disease of urological cancer and related conditions by:**
Supporting basic, translational and clinical research into causes, prevention and treatment.
Developing and evaluating new technologies for diagnosis and treatment.
Providing equipment and facilities for research and treatment.
Assisting in the provision of education and awareness raising for medical staff and the general public.
**Urological cancers account for one in five of all newly diagnosed cancers each year , and one in three of all cancers in men.**
Over 22,000 people die each year from urological cancers:

## Our achievements
**During 2021 we continued to develop our community strategy – it has been very exciting to see it take shape. We have focused on inclusion and collaboration as we believe that working together brings with it strength.**
## **Learning disabilities and mental health issues**
We have put together two videos for people with mental health issues and learning disabilities. Working with individuals and their carers to raise awareness is vital as statistics show that people with mental health issues and learning disabilities are less likely to access cancer screening programmes, get an early diagnosis, and have a higher mortality rate. One video is to explain cancer and the cancer screening process more effectively, and the other is for carers to encourage them to have the more difficult conversations. We have also put together an illustrated leaflet to help people with learning disabilities to understand what to do if they find a lump in their testis.
## **Marginalised young people**
We are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with marginalised young people from a centre called Trax. Trax educate young people, 11-18 years old, from across the Thames Valley who have faced exclusion from school. We have been invited into the centre to educate these young people about testicular cancer in the first instance. We will also be expanding this to talk about health and wellbeing.
We are very grateful for grants and for a partnership with the Hygiene Bank to be able to provide regular hygiene products to support the physical wellbeing of these young people.
## **School talks**
We enjoy working with schools to provide teaching and education as part of their PSHE programme. We offer a one-hour session to discuss testicular cancer, which is the most common cancer in the age group of 15-45 year olds. We are planning to do a big push on school talks as uptake has been relatively low to date.
## **Volunteer training**
We continue to work closely with the Hummingbird Centre to provide volunteer training. Again, the feedback is positive and the volunteers have grown in confidence. We now plan to work with the volunteers more regularly and increase our teaching portfolio by building relationships with other cancer support centres. Some of our training is now online which is a fantastic resource: **www.ucare-**

## A louder voice
## **Cancer Forums**
## **Care packages**
The care packages that we offer to people with cancer who are on treatment have been gratefully received by a number of partners from across the Thames Valley. These include The Oxford University Hospital Trust, Stoke Mandeville Hospital and My Cancer, My Choices in Berkshire. We have been delighted to be able to support people on treatment and their families through providing them with useful products to support them during their cancer journey whilst providing signposting to other services and providing additional positivity. The feedback has been fantastic and proves that little acts of kindness really do make a difference. We will continue to seek funding and support to help people with cancer to stay on treatment for longer and cope better with their diagnosis.
## **Germ cell health**
## **and wellbeing sessions**
We have been working closely with the team at the Oxford University Hospital Trust to educate and support men with testicular cancer. These regular health and wellbeing sessions allow young men to gain knowledge about their cancer, what it means for them and how they move on with their lives post-treatment. They also benefit from peer support throughout these sessions. The feedback has been very positive and we are grateful to be able to be a part of what is provided.
The care packages have been very gratefully received
## **Regular support events**
We support the running of regular germ cell health, prostate health and wellbeing events. These provide regular support to 10-15 men post-treatment each month. This support includes supervised peer discussion and education related to their cancer, from side effects to mental health and how to cope better with cancer.
## **Collaborating with others**
We have found many more service providers to collaborate with, whether this be the Hygiene bank, support centres, support groups or health professionals. The more we talk about what we do the more people are willing to work alongside us. We are definitely stronger together.
We continue to sit on the board of the Testicular Cancer Network. We truly value this relationship – it enables us to have a stronger voice for patients, to network and ensure our statistics and messaging are standardised. We also sit on the National Germ Cell Group and Cancer 52.
## **NGCG Steering Group**
We continue to sit on the National Germ Cell Group Steering Group, and we are currently organising the National Germ Cell Conference which will be held in Scotland in 2023.
## **Stratified follow-up**
We have played an important role in the development of the stratified follow-up pathway for people with prostate cancer. These education sessions enable men to gain a deeper understanding of their disease, and how to self-manage side effects with confidence. We have worked closely with health professionals at the Oxford University Hospital Trust and have enjoyed seeing the scheme evolve.
## Our future plans
## **Health walks**
We are planning to work closely with Healthy Walks Oxford and The Ramblers to start up a walking group for people who have cancer or have had cancer treatment. We are excited about this initiative and hope to be able to set up a number of walks across the county with the support of volunteers.

## **Volunteer strategy**
This year we plan to increase and work on our volunteer portfolio. We would like to offer volunteer training for roles within UCARE which focus on different aspects of the charity’s work. We aim to incorporate attractive volunteering roles into the projects that we run. This will be anything from school talks, healthy walk leaders, general administration and delivery of packages and running stalls to a Volunteer Champion to raise awareness in communities. Please email ucare@ucare-oxford.org.uk if you’re interested and learning more about volunteering opportunities.
## **Business packages**
This year we plan to align ourselves with business health and wellbeing objectives. We hope to be able to support businesses and raise awareness of cancer and its symptoms and support people who are working, or getting back to work, post-cancer treatment. We are optimistic about this new lead.
## **GP events**
We have run a GP event on urological cancers a number of years ago, and plan to run a similar face-to-face event for GPs across Oxfordshire.
## **Male carer support group**
This is a potential new initiative we are currently exploring – a male carer/partner support group is currently an unmet need in Oxfordshire (identified by Dr Luke Solomons, OUH Consultant in Medical Psychology). Germ Cell patients have also been asking for a support group, and we are exploring the possibilities for setting this up too.
## **Thrivorship event for patients**
At the end of 2022 we are planning to run a Thrivorship Event for people with urological cancer. There will be guest speakers and a number of stalls, with the opportunity to have one-to-one chats with professionals.
## **National Germ Cell Conference**
We are supporting and building the programme for the National Germ Cell Conference in April 2023. This is a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the patient voice and be involved with health professionals on a national level.
## **New roles**
We are hoping to grow our team over the next year. We will be looking to recruit a fundraiser who can focus on raising money and awareness for the charity whilst developing their role further.
## **Greater collaboration**
We continue to build strong relationships with other service providers including, support centres, support groups and other health providers. We are always on the look-out for opportunities to work with others.

## Structure, governance and management
## **UCARE (Oxford) was registered with the Charity Commission on 18 September 2007, and is Registered Charity Number 1120887.**
## **Public benefit**
Our work delivers public benefit by providing information, advice, and support to anyone affected by a urological cancers. We work in communities to reduce the stigma that can surround cancer; raise awareness; connect people to the support and care they need. We work in partnership with existing local and national organisations to collaborate and provide information and education about urological cancers to both the public and medical professionals. We are passionate about raising awareness of not just urological cancer but cancer in general.
The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The Charity is governed by the Trustees who meet five times a year to decide on the fundraising strategy and the allocation of funds to medical projects in line with the objects of the Charity, but collectively and individually also available on an ad hoc basis for advice and decision taking.
## **Staff and working arrangements**
We are very proud of the work that is produced by our small team. Up until January 2022, UCARE employed one full-time member of staff – a Senior Executive with a diverse skill mix and job description, who is managed by the Trustees.
We also have a part-time Community & Awareness Lead whose role continues to be funded by fundraising and Trust & Foundation applications.
The Charity is advised on grant applications and medical projects by an appropriate Scientific Advisory Committee
## **Investment powers**
Trustees have the power to deposit or invest funds in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining such advice from a financial expert as the Trustees consider necessary and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification).
## **Organisational structure**
The Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the strategic objectives of UCARE and for directing the staff. The Senior Executive supports and advises the Trustees on its activities. The Senior Executive is fully accountable for achieving, subject to the limitations set by the Trustees, for achieving objectives set by the Trustees. The Senior Executive is supported by a part-time Charity Officer.
## **Volunteers, Ambassadors, Patient Advocates and Patrons**
From time to time UCARE is able to call on the help of volunteers for running events etc., and UCARE acknowledges their extremely valuable contribution made by them and thank them for their commitment. We also value the huge contribution made by our Patrons, Ambassadors and Patient Advocates who network on our behalf. We also acknowledge the support of health and business professionals who provide pro-bono advice across a range of activities.
## **Looking forward**
Cancellation of most of our fundraising activity meant that the vital funds did not come in for research. Fundraising for research and the giving of research grants now becomes a priority.
This year, as well as raising funds for our awareness campaigns and making research grants, we are fundraising for a Research Nurse at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. Clinical research nurses play a vital role in delivering clinical research, and improving patient care and treatment pathways. Clinical research is essential – it is the only
**8**
evidence-based method of deciding whether a new approach to treatment or care is better than the current standard, and is essential to diagnose, treat, prevent and cure disease.
## **Review of transactions and financial position (including reserves policy)**
Fundraising has raised £101,322 (2021: £96,403).
The Charity has made grants during the year totalling £49,484 (2021: £32,839). Costs of raising income were £35,543(2021: £38,956) of which £1,560 (2021: £198) were direct costs of holding events.
Reserves may be spent to help cope with unexpected events like those unfolding in this financial year All decisions on such financial matters will be taken collectively, and significant decisions and action points noted in writing and in our strategic plan for moving forward.
Funds in hand at the year-end amounted to £33,163 (2021: £29,599) of which £1,188 (2021: £6,323) are unrestricted.
Charitable grants are typically paid out between 12 and 24 months after they have been awarded. Unpaid grants at the year-end totalled £6,590 (2021: £14,505). Taking this into account, the Trustees feel that unrestricted reserves of £1,188 although do not meet with our reserve policy, were adequate given the current circumstances we find ourselves in the last quarter of this financial year and reflected in the our risk assessment & constant review and in our future plans 84% of charities say that their voluntary income decreased on average by 42% and had to revise their voluntary income forecast during the pandemic, and had to adapt and draw on reserves during the lockdown period.
## **Fundraising activities and raising awareness of UCARE**
UCARE recognises the need for efficient prevention and early diagnosis strategies and future developments include the building on raising awareness of the charity and building on the marketing and PR using the special tulip associated with our logo. Raising awareness and raising funds is normally done through organised events and taking our work into the community – the initiative being that all donations are buying hope, buying time and buying better futures for all those touched by urological cancer.
UCARE depends on the committed support of our donors, volunteers and advisers. All our supporters make a real difference by getting involved with UCARE. Fundraising activities by supporters have dropped considerably in the last 18 months but helped by the promotion of the UCARE tulip; and we were able to hold our annual UCARE golf day in September 2021.
The Trustees wish to acknowledge formally the tremendous efforts of staff, our Patrons and volunteers in achieving so much during this difficult year.
Our grateful thanks to all Trusts and Foundations who have made grants to UCARE throughout the year.
## **Risk assessment and review**
The Trustees must establish any foreseeable risk faced by UCARE and where appropriate take measures to mitigate these risks. The most significant risk identified to UCARE was the Government response to the pandemic in lockdown. Cancelling all fundraising events and ability to get to the community we serve, we knew would severely affect funding research and raising awareness and our obligations to running the charity. The Trustees were satisfied that systems and discussions were in place to monitor and mitigate these risks and it was under constant review. Adequate unrestricted reserves were maintained to dissolve the charity if became necessary and financial review was be undertaken constantly.
The Charity has taken out Employers Liability Insurance, Public Liability Insurance and Trustees Indemnity Insurance. Risk assessments are undertaken and at hand for fundraising activities and information to fundraisers ‘to keep it safe’ and our fundraising code of conduct is available in our fundraising information.
Commitments to project funding are only ever on the basis that income has been or can adequately be secured by UCARE.
The reserves policy enables the Charity to wind up without consequential loss if necessary.
Appropriate accounting and financial controls are in place.

## **Trustees’ responsibilities**
Laws applicable to Charities in England and Wales require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and;
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Society will continue.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence of taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Trustee appointment, induction and training**
New Trustees are recruited through a range of networks and are invited to a board meeting to understand the role of Trusteeship as well as to get a general knowledge of the role and the charity’s activities. Appointments are made by the Board of Trustees giving proper regard to the range of skills and experience needed to govern the charity. On appointment, Trustees are invited to meet with the Senior Executive for a process of discussion and induction, provided with copies of the Trust Deed, annual reports and other relevant material. On-going advice is thereafter provided by the Senior Executive and Trustees as appropriate.
Approved by the trustees on 9 September 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of UCARE (Oxford)**
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2022 which are set out on page 9 to 15.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below:
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
**1.** which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 have not been met; or
**2.** to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year 31 March 2022**
## **1. Basis of preparation**
- **a)** The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. These accounts have been prepared on an accruals basis and include income and expenditure as they are earned or incurred, rather than as cash is received or paid. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
- **b)** The accounts are drawn up under the historical cost convention. Significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years present unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
- **c)** The Charity is a charitable institution with exemption from taxation under section 505 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.
- **d)** The Charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement.
- **e)** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the next 12 months which indicate that the charity will be able to continue as a going concern.
## **2. Accounting policies**
- **Charitable activities.** These are the resources applied by the Charity in undertaking its work to meet its charitable objectives.
- **Governance costs.** These are costs that relate to the general running of the charity. The governance costs of the Charity are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. These are included under charitable costs.
- **Support costs** such as postage and stationery have been allocated to activity cost categories on a consistent basis.
## **b) Fund accounting**
The Charity mainly holds unrestricted funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives of the charity and at the discretion of the trustees.
The Charity did receive grants and donations which must be used for specific purposes. As at the year end the balance on restricted funds was £31,975 (2021: £23,276).
## **c) Tangible assets**
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in the acquisition and installation.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
**Asset Class Depreciation rate and method** Computers 20% straight line
## **a) Allocation of costs to resources expended**
Specific items of expenditure are attributed to the appropriate category, of:
- **Cost of generating donations and legacies.** These are the costs associated with generating voluntary incoming resources from all sources other than undertaking charitable activities.
**14**
## **d) Grants payable**
The grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the Charity. Grants are accounted for when the scientific advisory committee have approved the grant and the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside the control of the Charity.
## **e) Pensions**
The Charity makes contributions to a pension scheme held by its employee. The costs of contributions are written off in the year they are payable.
