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.
6. 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. Testimonia15 such a5 these..

also sent out to individuals who haven't yet got a Support Group in their area. We continue to see an
increase in people contacting the charity direct, having heard about Keeping Abreast online or via social
media, or via other people who have been Supported by KA.
Meanwhile at KA HQ we also provide our face-to-face Support Groups with the items that they need to
support others, from flyers, posters and other publicity materials, to KA merchandise and suggestlOn5 for

Keeplng Abreast Annual Repoit YearÉndlng 31 March 2025

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.

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.
We have been able to introduce new initialive¢and ways of working thanks to grant funding.
It is our intention to continue to develop new way5 of working to enable us to further support those in
need of help when undergoing breast reconstruction.
Thanks again to the Founders, our army of enthusiastlc volunteers, and to my fellow Trustees and our
fabulous team of commltted staff.
