  3. Review of Activities Our specific objectives from last year were to ensure that the charity had stability, longevity and was working productively and as cost-effectively as P055ible. This included,. Reviewing the Trustee mix to ensure that the Trustees have a good mix of skills and experience. Reviewing our fundraising income streams considering external factors. Adapting our work pattern5 and resource mix to maximise Service level which included increasing hours allocated to fundraising.

  4. Groups & Support How Keeping Abreast delivers public benefits: The charity's main activities and those it helps are outlined below.. Keeping Abreast helps people who are contemplating, facing or going through breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis or the discovery of a positive hereditary breast cancer gene. It also supports those who have undergone breast reconstruction surgery but who still need assistance during their recovery. This support is provided in a variety of ways,. in person at face-to-face Support Group5 across the UK, and by a national network of registered Keeping Abreast Volunteers who help others by phone, email, WhatsApp, Zoom and so on. The charity 15 also very active on soci81 media, placing posts and stories acr05S its many platforms on an almost daily basis. Keeping Abreast has accounts on Facebook, Instagram, X and Linkedln and also publishes regular updates on its website, www.keepingabreast.or8.uk. The face-to-face Support Groups provide a friendly, informal, welcoming environment for those facing breast reconstruction surgery to meet others who have already been through this experience &0 that thev can hear what breast reconstruction is really like and asl< questions. In addition to these helpful conversations, the face-to-face Support Groups also include 'Show & Tell, sessions, where those attending can see real results of different breast reconstruction operations in a safe, controlled space thanks to registered l(eeping Abreast Volunteers who are happy to show the results of their surgery. Besides this peer-to-peer support, the Keeping Abreast Support Groups also run a number of talks and activities, with invited speakers giving presentations on breast reconstruction-related topics, and with events such as scar therapy session5 or visits by post-surgery underwear and swimwear providers. The Support Grou ps talce place on different days and at different times and in a number of venues, from village halls lo cancer support centres. The common factor is that they are run by dedicated Keeping Abreast Volunteers who offer individual Support to breast cancer reconstruction patients and their partners, friends and families and who are keen to provide 'personal support to every person,. Du ring the financial year 202412025 there were around 60 indlvldual fa¢e-to.face Support Groups, with over 900 attendees. Besides the Support Groups and networlc of volunteers, there 15 a wealth of useful information on the Keeping Abreast website, www.kee abreast.or .uk, from patient storie5 to FAQS. The website's USP is that it also contains a suite of real-life breast reconstruction accounts and videos, where Keeping Abreast Volunteers show the results of thelr breast reconstruttlon surgery to camera and explaln their own breast reconstruction journeys In their own word5. The videos are proving very popular, with four Keepin8Abreast AT￿￿31 Reporl YÈarEndiDg 31 Marth 2025

new videos added in 2024 showing reconstruction using Implants, an outer free thigh flap, a bilateral IGAP and a double mastectomy with implant and mesh reconstruction due to BRCA2 status. The videos are complemented by other support information on the slte, such a5 helpful hints and tips for going into hospltal, and sources for post-surgery underwear and swimwear. The charity also runs also a closed Facebook group, the l<eeping Abreast Online SLJpport Group UK, which now has well over 600 Members, and which wa5 Set up so that people can talk about breast reconstruction, swop storie5, receive helpful hints and tips, and ask questions about the different types of surgery and recovery. The online support group is worlcing well, with new people joining regularly and posts receiving plenty of comments and shares. What's more, most of the Keeping Abreast Support Groups also run a WhatsApp group for their volunteer5 and for those they re supporting, so that they can continue to help one another in-between the face-to- face meeting dates and keep everyone informed about new events and activities. Meanwhile, to aid well-being, free l<eeping Abreast Mindfulness For All sessions continue to be offered on the first Tuesday of the month via Zoom, with the classes taken by a long-standing KA Leicester Volunteer who has been through breast reconstruction herself and who is a Mindfulne55 coach and yoga teacher. To complement these monthly se55ions, 8 series of six half-hour Mindfulness For All sessions have been added to the Keeping Abreast website this year, so that anyone involved with the charity can talce advantage of those in their own time and at their own discretion. The number of Registered KA Volunteers remains consistent and there are currently 200 Volunteers who help out at Support groups as well as at awareness days, fundraisers, activities and events. The charity regularly receives Posltive feedback and testimonials from breast cancer reconstruction patients who have been supported by Keeping Abreast and who often become volunteers themselve5 once they've finished their own treatment.

Grant f unding: We were awarded grant funding from various grant givers to enable u5 to continue to provide the charity services. We than[< all those who kindly supported Keeping Abreast during this financial year for specific projects and core costs. Charity of Year.. We continue to work with corporate supporters who provide a valuable income stream. Based off connections made this year through various avenues we have a promising lead on a number of corporate partnerships next year. 10. Fundraising outputs Fundraising has been able to support the charity's running costs, support costs and development throughout this year, with our Community Fundraising having surpassed the expected budget. We have also supported our service-users online with additional Real-Life Reconstruction Vide05 earlier this year via the donation of external f Ljnding. We have updated some of our printed materials to try to modernise the look and feel of the brand and continue to work on this through grant given training and internal workshops. We have been a55essing our current Fundraising Packs and will continue to develop this further into the remainder of 2025. March already saw the launch of an updated 'Booby Cupcake Month, Pack with new logo, refreshed contents and visuals and a focus on being more sustainable in our print choices. From this we decided to host several elements of the pack online for people to access and print at home if they choose. Thi5 helped to save on budgeted costs for the paclc and meant considerably less printing, paper and card were used. Following discussions of pushing the brand vlsually with its colour palette we have created a new range with primary, secondary and tertiary palettes that have been launched gradually and will be reasse5ged throughout the year. This is to ensure that the brand works for us as needed and to ensure it helps to distinguish content between support and fundraising. We are awaiting a further workshop date to hold an internal review of our '8rJndframework' following the ongoing training with Creativity Unbound part funded by The Norfolk Community Foundation's training bursary scheme. This will hopefully help to steer our visual progression and create a more solid foundation for our brand overall. The hope is to have a solid set of brand guidelines within the next year. 11. Structure, Governance and Management Constituition The charity is registered as a charitible company limited by guarantee Iregistered number: 068913881 and is a registered charity Iregistered number.. 11295221. The ch3rity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 29 April 2009 as amended by special resolutions dated 18 May 2010 and 9 May 2012. Method of Appointment or Election of Trustees The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustee5 who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. Policies Adopted for The I nduction and Training of Trustees New Trustees undergo a Trustee induction to brief them on their legal obligation5 under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and to inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Article5 of A550eiation, the committee and decision-making processès, the business Keepin¢Abreast AnDuHI Report Year Endln8 31 Marih 2025

plan and recent financial performarice of the charity. Typically, they will meet with other Trustees and a l(A employee to g3in a better insight into the role. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. 12. Organisational Structure and Decision-making Policy decisions are made by the Trustees in Trustee Meetings or by email in accordance with the Governing document. Insurance Cover Public and Product Liability cover £5,000,000. Professional Liability £1,000,000. 13. Financial Review Going Concern After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has 8dequate reserves and cash surplus to continue in operational existence for the short to mid-term. The main risk is economic volatilty. The report process in place allows this sitaution to be monitored by the Trustees. Financial and Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Trustees met virtually on f ive occasions?nd once face-to-face during the year ending 31SI March 2025 to di5tuss and review charity busine55. The Trustees constantly monitor cash balances and future income Streams 3g3inst obligations and fixed costs. Office rent is paid monthly with no automatic renew clause to give us flexibility. There are no other fixed costs or on-going Commitments other than minor administrative expenses. Smith and Pinching continue to administer our Pension Scheme for our small team and the administrative side is delivered by our Payroll Provider, CBR Business Solutions in Norwich. We perform regular reviews in relation to the hourly rate paid to all our staff members. -In this time of unknown we have reviewed which event types were more Successful both financially and, most importantly, how they have supported our members and Keeping Abreast community. Principal Risks and Uncertainties These still centre on a reduction in fundraising and/or a Ioss of volunteers to run the support groups. Reporting procedures enable the staff and Trustees to constantly monitor this, and fundraising plans and strategies are being reviewed regularly, to ensure they are generating the desired outcomes. Reserves Policy The Trustees review the balance of their reserves annually a5 a minimum, and it is their current policy that they will retain at least £89,097 as a minimum balance. This provides sufficient funds to employ three part- time staff and pay other fixed overheads for a full year without any other income being forthcoming. This year sees a fall in reserves with free reserves of £32,253 as of March 202512024: £83,246). The level of reserves will be monitored closely moving forward. The review of internal financial rules will allow increased visibility of the cash flow. Keepin8 AbreastAiiDual RÈPDII Year Ending 31 Marth 2025

Principal Funding The principal sources of funding is internal fundraisingj grants and public donation5 and internal funding, mainly f rom individual fundraising efforts. 14. Future Developments W@ intend to strengthen existing support groups and create new ones where possible, considering alternative approache5 where necessary. We 5Èek to identify additional projects that fulfil our objectives and contribute to the we11-being of patient5 in a safe environment. The Trustees will continue to meet regularly, at least 3 times a year, with the option for virtual meetings to accommodate a broader demographic of Trustees, We maintain our monitoring and, where appropriate, modification of our Strategic Plan to ensure alignment with our objectives. We will continue to operate using a hybrid approach, blending the charity's traditional methods Wlth the successful virtual strategies that emerged in response to Covid-19 and the cost of living crisis. In Conclusion.. The charity has successfully risen to continuing challenges in terms of development and fundraising.
