All trustees are also members of the charity. Objectives and activities of the charlty Executive Summary A journey of 15 years celebrated with the opening of FACT'S very own home. FACT'S Itfe began in 2008, by a young mum, Joanne Smith, who had been diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. She soon understood the effect a diagnosis of cancer has within a family, for her, her husband, children, mum, sister, grandparents and in laws. who were all affected as well as the patient. Cancer affects everyone around the person diagnosed, cancer is non-discriminatory including the family and friends surrounding the diagnosed no matter who has the cancer, families and friends are affected as well as the patient Joanne came to the end of over four years of treatment, the idea that is now FACT developed. FACT provides a welcoming and homely environment away from clinical and hospital rooms, with a seamless wraparound of support mentally and physically from start to finish. FACT offers beneficiaries and the community across the North East their understanding of the complexities linked to a cancer diagnosis through their approach. Anyone affected by cancer re￿iVeS support from FACT, that may be a coffee and a chat to planning and preparing for end of life, but it does not end there for their loved ones, FACT also supports the family of the bereaved.

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together There is an ever-increasing number of people in society who are struggling financially and those affected by can￿r are no different. Poverty and cancer are now words that go together all too often. A diagnosis of cancer can tip people over the edge and cause unsustainable financial implications. FACT is acutely aware from beneficiary feedback. community engagement, focus groups, collaborative working, research, and data analysis that the demand for our services continues to increase. In the UK, around 395,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year. There are over 200 diffe￿nt types of can￿r impacting 1 in 2 people over their lifetime. A cancer diagnosis can bring a huge financial burden, and with the cost of living hitting the highest level in decades, people with cancer are turning for help more than ever for. financial support, someone to talk to and to help make sure their voices are heard. Why FACT was founded FACT was founded after Joanne became very aware that she had been looked after extremely well by loca medical teams and services, however, once she stepped outside the hospital environment, there was no practical or emotional support for either herself, or more importantly, for her family, especially her young children. She wanted to make sure that everyone affected by cancer, either as the person diagnosed, or their family. carers, friends, or colleagues, could find help easily, in good time and free of charge. Joanne founded FACT in 2008, initially its aim was to build partnerships with health professionals. support groups and other charities to help strengthen the current support ne￿ork. This remains a key area of FACTS work, however, when Joanne could not find the support services that people were looking for, she started to fill the gaps herself, either as a one off for an individual, or by developing a programme of regularly ac￿$$1b1e support. And so, FACT'S direct support to those diagnosed with cancer, their family, carers, and friends began. FACT has grown significantly since its humble beginnings, because of the vast demand of its service users. Mlsslon Ststement FACT'S purpose is to source, promote, and form relationships bet￿een the support services, groups, organisations, and charities that are available to cancer patients. By bringing together these services, a ne￿Ork of cross referral and recommended support can be formed be￿een statutory, voluntary, and commercial bodies, and the strength gained in numbers be drawn on. By strengthening the ne￿ork of support, FACT will give those suffering from cancer, cancer survivors, and their friends and families the opportunity to a¢￿$$ services more easily, and more quickly, often at a time when speed and ease is essential. FACT provides social and support opportunities for all cancer patients, survivors, their family, and friends to meet, form friendships, and build communities with others in similar positions to themselves. FACT is working with adults and children to educate and raise public awareness of cancer related and healthy living issues. FACT delivers numerous awareness programmes in schools, colleges, workplaces, and public buildings which are specifically tailored to suit their audience.

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together A word from the Chief Executive We know that cancer can affect people and life in so many ways, so we do whatever it takes to give people the support they need and last year was no exception. The rising cost of living caused financial concerns throughout the UK, but it was particularly worrying for people living with cancer. A cancer diagnosis can bring a huge financial burden, and with the cost of living hitting the highest level in decades, people living with cancer turned to us more than ever for support, someone to talk to. Figures from Macmillan show that, two in three people with cancer in the UK (660/0 - an estimated bNo million people) were concerned about the cost of food or water over the next 12 months. We listened and acted quickly, supporting people with money worries delivering kindness kits of f¢)od. toiletries, clothing, and comfort blankets, and working with partners to ease the financial pressures on people affected by cancer so they could put more energy into living life as fully as possible. The North East of England had the highest rate of cancer incidence for male and females. The North East had the highest age-standardised cancer incidence rate for males and females at 717 and 603 per 100,000 people. IM)ilst the East had the lowest rate for males at 663 per 100,000 people and London had the lowest rate for females at $24 per 100, 000 people. The shortfall of cancer specialists in the cancer care Workfor￿ and the increasing time people were having to wait to access cancer services was not something we could ignore. We've raised this at every opportunity with local councillors, MPS, and partners to amplify the voices of people living with cancer. Our agile approach continues to enable us to respond appropriately to the changing environment and adapt and prioritise spending on services to deliver the greatest impact to those who need us most. Beneficiary feedback Thank you, FACT, for all you do and did forme and what you continue to do for others Hazel's Story..

We have been raising funds for over 10 years in the hope of having our own ￿ntre. At times it seemed like only a dream, an unsurmountable mountain to climb, but we got there through the amazing support of everyone connected to our FACT Family Home to who we are eternally grateful. FACT'S Patrons and Trustees were extremely proud to be part of this amazing achievement from all involved.

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together We have worked with so many amazing people and organisations locally and nationally. We could not have done this without the amazing support we received from 'Walk the Walk,, The National Lottery Community Fund, The Levelling-up Community Ownership Fund, The National Lottery People's Project, Public Health England, Primula, The Community Foundation, Hadrian Trust, UK Cash for Kids, Newcastle Building Society, Northern Gas Net￿OrkS, Screwfix, Sport England, Matrix Foundation, Rothley Trust, Joicey Trust, Gateshead Warm Spaces, DWF Foundations, Openwork Foundation, Rust-oleum Paints. Virgin Money and Wates Family Enterprise Trust for their grants and funding which allow us to undertake specific projects and introduce new sessions our service users need. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our beneficiaries, supporters, volunteers, professionals, partner organisations and colleagues - all working tirelessly to do whatever it takes for people living with cancer- so we'd like to say a heartfelt thank you. Joanne Smith - Chief Executive

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together The purpose of the charity as set out in its governlng document. The company is a registered charity and exists to provide support and assistance to people who have suffered or are suffering from all forms of cancer by such means as the trustees consider fit including, without limitation. 1) By advancing the education of the public in cancer awareness including (but not limited to) the distributs'on of literature relating to the detection and treatment of cancer. 2) By relieving the hardship of those persons directly or indirectly affected by cancer who are in need, including by.. a) creating a platform for the exchange of experiences, views and information, and b) providing facilities to improve their conditions of life. 3) By providing support and guidan￿ for cancer sufferers and friends, family, and carers of cancer sufferers. 4) For the general purpose of such charitable bodies or for such other exclusively charitable purposes in each case as the trustees may from time to time decide. The maln actlvltles undertaken In relation to those purposes during the period. Understanding the needs of people living with cancer. The rising cost of living means that many people living with can￿r have had to make tough choices. We know that living with less money can be a struggle, particularly for people who have had to stop working or reduce hours because of their diagnosis. Figures from Macmillan show that, in three people with cancer in the UK (66 % - an estimated two million people) were concerned about the cost of food or water over the next 12 months. A cancer diagnosis can be a huge financial burden, and rising living costs are causing additional concerns for many people living with Can￿r. Macmillan has seen a rapid increase in the number of people in need of help as the cost of living hits the highest level in decades. This comes on top of the existing financial impact a can￿r diagnosis already brings. In addition, many people living with can￿r are also facing distressingly long waits in receiving the financial benefits that they are entitled to. 4 in 5 people living with cancer are, on average, £891 a month worse off because of their illness. These insights help FACT adapt our existing services and develop new information and support in 2023. 2024 and beyond.

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together With improvements in survival for cancer showing signs of slowing and the demand on services only set to grow in the future, it is vital that cancer is a top priority for all UK polits'cal parties ahead of this yearfs general election. This is leaving patients facing anxious waits for can￿r diagnosis and treatment when a matter of weeks can be enough for some cancers to progress. Considering the bestefforts of NHS staff, the figures represent a long-term failure to plan and invest in the NHS workforce and key facilities and equipment. Our Engagement teams work closely alongside and within a variety of communities to better understand the challenges they face while navigating their can￿r joumeys. Our aim is to support marginalised communities facing health inequalities. Using their insight, we collaborate with them to develop sustainable solutions to help them better navigate cancer care and beyond treatment. We are committed to meeting the needs of everyone affected by Can￿r. This includes carrying out activities to reach more people from communities who don't always receive the cancer information, support. or care they need and deserve. The outstanding commitment and passion of our supporters means we are now in a strong position to be ever more ambitious in our plans for 2024. FACTS loyal volunteer ne￿Ork of 866 includes 101 registered volunteers, 210 corporate volunteers and 555 other volunteers which consist of people in the community who have helped as a one off or on an adhoc basis and Come from non-corporate community organisations such as schools, colleges, universities, charities and churches, supported communities across the North East with 9,883 hours of their time. Utterly amazing" if that be baking scones to be added to food parcels; making healthy meals in bulk ready to warm On￿ at their home or walking with a friend in the park. Collecting and distributing essentials., befriending phone calls,. doorstep checks,- collecting someone's shopping J prescriptions orjust being there if that being at the end of the phone or holding someone's hand. We estimate that this work adds about £113,061 value to our services based on the UK living wage of £11.44 an hour. An astonishing contribution from our many volunteers. And this figure does not include all their in-kind support i.e. providing fresh home-baked goods for our coffee mornings and events and the casual conversation they have promoting ourwork. The volume of hours given by volunteers enables FACT to ensure 1000/0 of all funds raised are directed to beneficiaries and service users. The main activitles undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the publlc beneflt. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, accounting for an estimated 9.6 million deaths, or one in six deaths, in 2018. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver can￿r are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid can￿r are the most common among women. Households are facing the biggest fall in living standards ever recorded. The financial impact of the cost-of- living crisis will continue, and this is exacerbated for people with cancer. The majority of people living with cancer are feeling the effects of the ongoing rising living costs.

Trustses, Annual report for tha year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together This can lead to the cancellation of medical appointments as travel costs become impossible to meet. The crisis is also contributing to the widening of existing heaEth and social inequalities amongst sections of society- Various groups, including people going through treatment. are those who are being increasingly marginalised due to the cost-of-living crisis. The North East of England population, the smallest population out of all regions, is around 2.68 million according to 2020 ONS mid-year estimations and is expected to grow to around 2.77 million by 2043. an increase of 3.20￿. Over the past few years, pressure on NHS cancer services has been mounting. Cancer waiting times, which show whether the health system is meeting its targets for quickly diagnosing and treating cancer, help show us the extent of this pressure. Testing for cancer is imperative, diagnosing it and starting treatment quickly helps people from becoming stressed and anxious. Not only this, but can￿r that's diagnosed and treated at an early stage, when it isn't too large and hasn't spread, is more likely to be treated successfully. Prompt diagnosis and treatment underpin this. The standards for cancer waiting times have been streamlined into 3 key cancer targets that indicate how well cancer services are doing. The latest results in England (January 2024) are: The Faster Diagnosls Standard: Target Missed 70.90k of people were diagnosed, or had cancer ruled out, within 28 days of an urgent referral in January 2024. The target is 75Q/o and has never been met since its introduction in October 2021. The 62-day referral to treatment stsndard: Target Missed Only 62.30/0 of people in England received their diagnosis and started their first treatmentwithin 2 months (or 62 days) of an ur9ent referral in January 2024. The target is 85 %. The 31-day declslon to treat standard: Target Mlssed 87.50/0 of people started treatment within 31 days of doctors deciding a treatment plan in January 2024. The target is 960/0. The above data is specific to England. Scotland, Wales, and Northem Ireland also have their own cancer waiting times targets. The data and fi'gures as they collate, and update are key for FACT'S further development and engagement with beneficiaries and communities. Following research, analysis, qualitative and quantitative discussions across diverse cultures it was evident we should move into a heavily populated residentia5 community that had been hit negatively with community building closures. FACT'S Family Home offers services to cancer patients and their families I friends plus the wider community and its new cohort of beneficiaries within the Wrekenton a￿a of Gateshead.

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together This centre will support over 5,000 beneficiaries in the region plus over 4,500 people in the vicinity of FACT family home. These premises support recent data research. which has told us that within the first year we will interact with 675 newly diagnosed can￿r patients which represents 4 % of the total number of new diagnoses in the North East, per annum. We will provide support services to an additional 1,173 people and delivereducation and awareness sessions to 17.900 people as part of our community engagement programme. It can be easy to forget that behind these numbers are real people going through an incredibly anxious time. Quantifying the impact of missing targets and longer waits on patient outcomes is difficult as the research is limited. The picture is different for different can￿r types - some progress quicker than others - but we know the overall impact is likely to be negative. One study estimated that a 4-week delay to cancer surgery led to a 6_8 % increased risk of dying. Aggressive cancers are prioritised for early treatment where possible, but there can be good reasons why someone might experience a long wait for treatment. FACT continues to provide beneficiary led cancer support services in different ways. These are designed and delivered, bespoke to their audience, to individuals, families, carers, and peer groups as no INIO people affected by cancer are alike and it is important that they can access the SeNi￿S that they need as and when they need them. We also continue to run a wide range of support sessions open to anyone, affected in any way by cancer. No referral is ne￿SSary to benefit from the services. One to one and family support is also vital to enabling FACT to respond to the diverse range of needs presented to it by se￿1￿ users. It generally takes longer to plan treatments for cancer, and sometimes patients need prehabilitation before starting treatment to give them the best chance of recovering well. But increases in missed targets mean people who need potentially lifesaving cancer treatments are waiting, and worrying, for longer- and that is a big concern. Cancer is scary, and it often hits people hard emotionally, which is why we're constantly looking at ways we can reach people at diagnosis and beyond. FACT reached 6238 people over the last 12 month. The people who need us, our support, continues to grow. Sadly, some of our beneficiaries have lost their battle with this unforgiving disease, but our services don't end there to a beneficiary and we continue to support their friends and families. Our services, as described below, are organised as separate distinct areas of work but beneficiaries, volunteers and staff access and deliver them across the service areas.

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together FACT Family groups FACT sadly supports 532 children and young adults affected by cancer across Tyne & Wear and Northumberland, whether it be the patient or a loved one of a patient. Our direct beneficiaries have been directly affected by cancer. These sessions help us to support our beneficiaries and to help them identify when they may need further support in an informal accessible way. Some of the beneficiaries we support have a very small network of family and friends and these groups not only give support and address isolation, but more importantly build a wider network of friendship outside of FACT. Supporting children affected by cancer with crisis talking therapies is a specialist area which is not picked up by medical professionals or statutory support. The child may not be the patient they may be the patient's brother or child and the affects this has on them is likened to PTSD. FACT Family days are for families who have been affected by cancer I bereavement. We have families who've lost mum or dad and children who've lost siblings. We have families who have similar experiences, seeing a young son or daughter, mum, dad, or grandparent go through cancer treatments. Irs useful in many ways for the children to be somewhere where they can be creative and play, talldlearn new skills while being amongst other children who have similar eXperien￿S. FACTS kid's groups meet the first Saturday of every month and attend many different and drverse events and sessions. These can include archery, laser tag, tubbing, bowling, crafts, first aid for children's course, summer walks and treasure hunts, climbing, jump giants and support sessions in fun and relaxed environments.

XoXoXo' Macmillan thank you following a referral- .1 think she will be really grateful if you can do that Fiona. Thank you again As always, your seNice is making a huge difference for those that really need it." Education and awareness programmos World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that between 30 % to 50Yo of Can￿r5 are preventable by implementing existing evIden￿-baSed prevention strategies, avoiding risk factors, and through supporting people to live healthier lives, including.. stopping smoking, losing weight, eating healthily. taking more exercise, and reducing sun exposure. Strategies to improve early diagnosis and detection along with appropriate treatment are key factors for higher survival rates from cancer. April 2020 at the start of the pandemic saw the lowest level of cancer diagnosis of new cantsr cases diagnosed compared to the same month in the previous year. This is likely to have been impacted by the interruption to health servI￿s. Cancer screening coverage for breast, cervical and bowel cancers in 2021 were however significantly better than the national average due to clearing the backlog. The four most diagnosed cancer sites are lung, breast, colorectal and prostate can￿rS, with lung can￿r consistently highest out of all four cancers. FACT'S can￿r awareness and education programmes continue to be a vital part of its work, raising awareness of cancer related issues including. but not exclusively, healthy living, cancer prevention, signs and symptoms, early detection, and screening. 23

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together FACT contributes to this. Over the last year, 24 specialist group sessions were delivered and additionally attending local colleges, businesses, and secondary and primary schools, to provide them with education and awareness on various cancers and NHS screening programmes. This has been facilitated dependant on the needs of the client group. The sessions have varied from a whole assembly presentstion through to drop-in, 'signs and symptoms, stands. All the sessions are bespoke to the individual needs required. These sessions have been very well received and resulted in excellent feedback. During visits into local schools, previously unreached by FACT, the children responded very well to the interactive sessions regarding being 'Safe in the Sun,. The feedback from the teachers was very posits've and resulted in the schools sharing FACT infomiation on a regular basis. The 'Safe in the Sun, sessions offered awareness about the importance of protection from the sun, with the hope thatthe children will take the message home to parents and guardians and that this will be effective in reducing the frequency of skin cancer being diagnosed in the future. The session includes advice on the importance of wearing sunscreen, hydration, taking shade at the hottest time of the day and wearing a sunhaucap. These sessions give an indirect message regarding skin cancer and educate the children on general health awareness, in a fun way. The sessions provided for local businesses, have included breast, skin, and male cancers, in the format of an awareness stand and conversation regarding these Can￿rs. Also included, once again, was general health advice and discussion on other cancers. FACT also raised awareness and educated the team building attendees which it facilitated for local businesses. FACT were honoured to join the Sixth form department at Cardinal Hume Catholic School on Friday the 2nd February 2024. We spent a few hours with 130 students and their 7 teachers. Three FACT employees and a volunteer also attended where we reminded of FAcfs offering, of FACT'S support seNices offered free of charge and a follow up process of referral and self-referral available to children and adults.

These projections. however, are 2018 based estimates. The longer-term impact of Brexit on net migration and COVID-19 is also uncertain, but in 2020 the North East of England median age fell from 41.8 to 41.7 years, driven by increased numbers of deaths and increases in net international and internal migration. The region includes five universities in the cities of Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, and Middlesbrough. There is an extensive coastline running down the East side of the region, seven of the ￿e1ve local authorities in the region are located along this coastline. The Chief Medical Officers 2021 report discusses the obseNed poorer health outcomes in coastal communities compared to other areas in England. The population distribution varies by local authority within the region. County Durham makes up over 20 % of the region's population with almost 500,000 inhabitants, while Hartlepool has the smallest population of all local authorities in the ￿gion atjust over 90,000. The populations from ethnic minority groups (excluding white minorities) are estimated to be4.2%, the North East being less diverse compared to other regions. Regardless, ethnic minority groups make up a sizeable population which includes people from black African, black Caribbean, Bangladeshi and Pakistani ethnic minority backgrounds. People from ethnic minorty backgrounds are at a greater risk of worse health outcomes than the white British ethnic group. These outcomes may include a higher risk of death from COVID-19, or women from black ethnic groups often suffer worse maternal outcomes. Latest population estimates by ethnicity from ONS (2018) suggest that in the North East white British ethnicity makes up 93.60/0 ofthe population, followed by Asian {2.9 % ), white other (1.70/0), mixed (0.90/0) and black (0.9% ) ethnic groups. ONS experimental statistics estimates suggest that lesbian, gay and bisexual population was 2.4 % in 2019. 25

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together The North of England has the highest area of deprivation in England. Understanding the needs of our sector, beneficiaries and community helps develop FACT'S short term and longer term aims and objectives for the charity. FACT'S services are offered based on demand and therefore continually meets the needs of our beneficiaries and our stated aims and objectives. FACT reacts to the needs of people, families, and peer groups at any one time and are planned around the need of support provision. 1 in 4 people with cancer are living with long term consequences of the cancer and treatment, unfortunately evidenced by our growing needs for services. Vve continually tailor events and sessions to the needs of our audience and work hard to publicise support as well as highlighting the opportunity for beneficiaries to request support that may not be listed. FACT uses the Kirkpatrick model to evaluate seNices. Beneficiaries are given an evaluation form to complete at the end of each session where we ask them to document what they have learned and how they will incorporate the learning into their daily lives. They are also asked to feedback on any improvements which could be made to the service. Our services are led and developed in this way and will Continue to be, long and short term. FACT celebrated its 15th birthday on 31 October 2023, and how better to celebrate it than opening our FACT Family Home. An incredible achievement for all involved and for the foresight and vision of our Chief Executive, Joanne Smith. FACT is very proud to have achieved this landmark, supporting the people who need us the most over the past 15 years in extremely challenging times. As we move into our 16th year, we have great things planned, expanding our services throughout the community and increase the variety of sessions on offer. FACT'S next Annual Ball will be end of year to help celebrate the opening of our new centre. FACT'S long-term aim was to build a purpose-built Cancer Support Awareness & Education Centre in Gateshead and now we are very excited to have achieved that. The challenges have been an increase in the number of multiple areas of support people have needed, either per individual or family. The request I referral may have been initially one area, such as sessional group support or befriending, but once a full assessment had been completed their needs were far greater and across many areas. The Charity's strategies for achieving its aims and objectives in the future FACT evaluates all aspects of service delivery via the Kirkpatrick methodology, to establish whether the Charity is meeting its aims and objectives. The evaluation assists FACT to determine whether ￿rtain programmes need to be altered or eliminated altogether. In addition, this aligns with our fundraising strategy as it allows donors, to look at the history of FACT and examine whether aims and objectives have been met, to determine whether the charity is ethical, effective and warrants future donations. FACT collates outcome data to demonstrate impact and measure results with mission statement outcomes. This methodology allows FACT to examine whether specific objectives have been achieved and to demonstrate that resources have been spent wisely. We also collect customer satisfaction data which allows us to calculate a Net Promoter Score. 26

As noted. earlier FACT'S loyal volunteer ne￿Ork ranged from registered volunteers, 210 corporate volunteers and other volunteers which consist of people in the community who have helped as a one off or on an adhoc basis and come from the non-corporate community organisations such as schools, colleges, universities, charities and churches. A total of 9.883 hours of their time. We estimate that this work adds about £113,061 value to our services based on the UK living wage of £11.44 an hour. An astonishing contribution from our many volunteers. The volume of hours given by volunteers enables FACT to ensure 100% of all funds raised are directed to beneficiaries and service users. 27

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together Our volunteers assist with events, charitable activities, befriending services, food parcels, fundraising, doorstep checks and office duties. Working alongside paid staff, volunteers offer their skills, experience, and expertise to every department within the charity. We recruit and train volunteers from local communities. They are subject to the same requirements as paid stsff in respect of compliance with statutory and regulatory ￿nditions, standards of competence, personal conduct, and integrity. Paid staff provide volunteers with ongoing training, guidance, and support. We are a volunteering organisation and without the support and commitment of our volunteers we would struggle to provide the vital services we do to local people and families.

There'￿ always interesting things to get involved with. It is lrfe enriching to be involved with" Linda Hutchinson x Vvhy do I Volunteer for fact? Denise Burke "When I retired in 20221 knew that I would still be useful as a volunteer using my gain8d 8xperience. It was important that l Ghose carefully to ensure that I would be committed to the organisation that would give me the scope to interact with people and in some small way be of value. I had followed the work of FACT for some years and knew as a local charity it had assisted many people. To me FACT is much more than a charity helping those who have suffered from cancer. It is more about Wellness and hope for the people affected, their families, friends and wider communities. The services provided are as much about friendship and understanding than the physical and mental effects of cancer. The provision made is a holistic approach to people affected and the services reflect the needs of the seryice use￿. I really enjoy the time I spend at FACT. l appreciate the wort, the people, users and staff.

For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Significant events which have affected the flnanclal performance and the flnanclal posltlon During recent years due to the pandemic FACT had to cancel its well-established calendar of community fundraising events and activities. Whilst this is the first year of a full program of events fundraising income increased. We also received one off Capital grants which have been fully used on our build in the year. Tho major risks to which the Charlty Is èxposad and reviews and systems to mitigate them The Trustees are satisfied that appropriate policies, protection, systems, and checks remain in order to mitigate exposure to major risks and to ensure that FACT operates in accordance with ethical and environmental guidelines and protections. The principal risks relate to investment performance and operational risks in terms of grant making arising from system malfunctions or fraudulent applications. Economic pressures, competition, e-comme￿ and changes in consumer beh8viour, impact negatively on voluntary income. Annual budgeting and ongoing management reporting and monitoring of financial performance The preparation of long-term financial forecasts aligned to FACT'S strategy to 2023124 that target diversification of income streams and incorporate an ongoing consideration of market and consumer trends.

Factors likely to affect future financial performance The most significant financial risk facing FACT is the reliance on potentially volatile income streams such as grant income, voluntary donations, and legacies. Iillhile FACT continues to be well supported locally, there is always the possibility that support could fall due to increasing popularity of other charities or because of local, national or international events. Changes in the economic climate of our region could also impact on the levels of support we receive each year. Plans for the Future Summary of plans for the future and th• trustee's perspective of the future direction of the charity In the UK in 2024 research tell us that- One in two people will be directly affected by cancer and everyone will be affected directly or indirectEy. As our population ages more and more people will be diagnosed wFth cancer. As treatment improves people will be living longer with the cOnsequen￿S of the disease and treatment. From the beginning FACT has focussed on supporting everyone affected by cancer in the North East. We supportthe person diagnosed and their family, friends, and colleagues. We are not hospital based and work hard to avoid our services feeling clinical. We want our service users to be comfortable and get the help they need in a friendly comfortable space- many of our service users spend a lot of time in hospital settings. We are proud to offer flexible, tailored support that is cost effective and delivered to meet individual needs. And if we don't delivera service, we will work to find someone who does ortry to develop the service needed, our new dedicated centre will provide us with a base for ensuring the long-term delivery of our services. This plan sets out how we will deliver our services and help us to ensure that everyone affected by can￿r in the North East of England has access to the services and support they need. To do this we rety on our staff, volunteers, colleagues, and supporters. We can't do this without all your support. FACT will continue to grow its range of services, as well as extending its reach into more North East communities. As well as growing from its current base, FACT Family Home, Wrekenton. FACT moved into the centre the end of 2023 following our grand opening on 31st October 2023. The ￿ntre will not only offer support to people diagnosed with cancer, but also to their families, carers. friends, and the community. FACT wants to help anyone who feels they have been affected by Can￿r, at any time, no matter how long ago they were diagnosed, or when they had their treatment. This will also include helping those who are close to someone who has cancer, or have lost someone close to them, without the need for clinical referrals. There is currently no other ￿ntre in the region offering this type of support. 42

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together We want to ensure our Services continue to meet the needs of our community. We take pride in our flexible service user led services. We will be: 1. Supporting people to manage the impact of a cancer diagnosis on their financial situation on average a cancer diagnosis results in over £800 a month reduction in a household's income- this is in a severe cost of living crisis where finan￿S are already stretched. Household costs increase too- people need warmer homes, transport access for treatment, maybe new clothes, and different diets. 2. Helping people to prepare for treatment - in October 2023 over 40¥0 of urgent treatment referrals waited over 2 months for treatment to start {Guardian online 11112024). This exacerbates the stress on all involved and can result in more advanced disease before treatment starts with, the subsequent impact on outcomes for people. Coroners in the UK have issued more notices about cancer diagnosis and treatment delays resulting in people dying. 3. Maximising the effectiveness of reSoUr￿S by working efficiently with colleagues in the NHS, Public and VCS sector. Ensuring our corporate sponsors are well inft)rmed and enabled to support service provision well. 4. Ensuring we maintain our beneficiary led Servi￿ profile- our beneficiaries tell us what they need, and we will continue to listen and ensure we, and our professional colleagues, deliver the seNices people need. Our track record in engaging with people with lived experien￿ of cancer has enabled us to develop a unique and diverse service profile and helps us to adapt to any changes in need quickly and effectively. 5. Continuing to develop our awareness raising and education within our North East community and across the UK. We address groups and events across the UK, our Founder and CEO is frequently invited to address groups regionally and nationally. The World Health Organization has said that, in 2016, 47.10/0 of premature deaths are caused by cancer- in the UK this means over 50,000 people annually. The increasing age of the population, climate change and high levels of UV exposure means that our awareness raising work is more important than ever. FACT has proved that people respond to offers of support in gentle, non-clinical environments, and have evidence of increased attendance on programmes offered by FACT away from clinical and hospital settings. FACT also works closely with the N HS and medical professionals to deliver support. ensuring compliance with current guidelines and legislation. The new centre also provides valuable volunteering, training and employment opportunities for local people and organisations. Medical staff also refer people duringlpost cancer treatment to volunteer with FACT as they recognise it to be a safe, secure environment that succeeds in building peoples, self-confidence, self- esteem, and motivation to enable them to retum to work if they want to and enjoy active social lives. 43

Trustees, Annual report for the year ended June 2024 Fighting All Cancers Together Sadly as our year end approached, FACT was the victim of a break in on Thursday 13 June 2024. They caused damage to parts ofthe building aswell as equipment, resourcesand donations of food, clothing and toiletries for our Kindness Kits. This was upsetting for the team and beneficiaries, however, everyone worked hard to clean up and we reopened on Wednesday 19 June. The perpetrators have been arrested and charged and we want to thank the poli￿, fire service and Advance Fire & Security for their swift response as this could have been even worse. We are determined to not let this hold us back and our team of staff, volunteers and supporters are working incredibly hard to get back on track. 44

Basis of preparation and accounting convention The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis. under the historical cost convention, and in accordance Vdith the Financial Reporting Standard 102, {effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP {Statemenl of Recommended Practi￿ for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, {as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginniTrJ on or after 1st January 20191, (The SORPI, published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales ICCEWI , effective January 2016, and in a¢¢ordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of regislralion, except that the charity has p￿pared the finanual statements in accordance with Ihe FRS 102 SORP Islatemenl of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015,1a$ amend8d by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1 $1 January 2019), {The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, Ihe SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact thal the extant statutory regulations, the Charities IAc¢ounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice. Going Concorn The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence. the going concem basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly. the Trustees have obtained forecasts and. after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 December 2024, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statsments. Other than these matters. the Trustees are not aware of any material un(*rtainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Rlsks and future assumptlons The charity is a public benefit enlily. Policies relating to categories of Income and Income recogniti.on. Nature of incomo Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to custom6rs and wo carried out in respect of servi￿$ provided to customers. Categorles of Income Income is calegorised as income from exchange transactions (contrad income) and income from non-exchange transactions Igiftsl, investment income and other income. Income from exchange tran$o¢tlons is ￿ceiVed by the charity for goods or Se￿ICe8 supplied under contract or where entitlement is subje¢t lo fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or seNi¢e$ supplied by the charity to the purchaser. In¢ome from a non4xchange transaction is where Ihe charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange. 59

Fightlng All Cancers Together Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 Income recognition Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is re¢ognised in the statement of financial activities {SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity's assets or a reduotion in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and Can be measured reliably. Dividends are accrued when the shareholderfs right to receive payment is established. Income subject to terns and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met. All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs. A¢¢ounllng for deferred income and income re¢elved In advance Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or un￿rtaintY exists as to whether the charity can meet any tems or conditions otherwise wilhin its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be mel. Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity. is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the perfomian￿-re1aled or other conditions that limit recognition are met_ When income from a grdnt or donation has not been recognised due to the ¢ondition5 applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable On￿ those conditsons are met, Where time related Conditions are irnposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods cOn￿rned,and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liabilty and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are reoived in advan￿ of the expenditure on the activity fvnded by them, but the￿ are no spe¢ifi¢ time relaled ￿nditions, then the income is not deferred. Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not p￿vent recognition of the income ¢>)ncerned, but a liability lo any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable. Income from legacies Income from légacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient eviden￿ that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be re￿iVed by the charity, and the amount to be re￿iVed can be eslimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of Ihe charity or have been met. Where a payment is received from an estate or is notified as receivable by the executors after the reporting date and before the accounts are authorised for issue but it is clear that the paymenl had been agreed by the executors prior to the end of the reporting period, then the amount concerned is treated as an adjusting event and accrued as income in the accounting period if receipt is probable. Where the charity has established entitlement to a legacy but there is uncertainly as to the amount of the payment, details of the legacy aredisclosed as a contingent asset until the ￿rteria for income recognition are met. Where a legacy is Subject to the interest of a life tenant, the legacy is not recognised as income until the death of the life tenant. If it is doubrful that full settlement of a legacy debtor will be received, then an adjustment is made to reduce the amount of the legacy debtor and legacy income rather than charging the adjustment as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities 60

Fighting All Cancers Together Notss to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 Donatsd goods, fa¢llltles and s•rvico8 Donated flxed assets are recognised at the current fair value. All $uth donations are recognised as donation income, and debited to fixed assets. Donated goods that are not fixed assets are accounted for at a fair value, unless it is impractical to reliably measure the value of the donated items. In the absence of any direct evidence of fair value of donated goods, then a value is derived from the cost of the item to the donor or, in the case of goods that are expected to be sold, the estimated resale value after deducting any anticipated costs of sales. If it is impracticable to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale. or the costs of valuation outsveigh the benefits, the donated gijods are recognised as income when sold. with an equivalent amount being recognised as an expense. The costs of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those goods upon receipl. When the goods are distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is adjusled at the time of sale. to the value at the point of distribution and the adjustment is shown as a cost of donations made. The carrying amount of any stock held for distribution is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. All donated goods are recognised as donation incomé, and debitéd to trading stock.when trading stock is subsequently sold, or appropriated to meet an expense, then the carying value of the stock is recognised as an expense. In accordance with the SORP, goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries, or for consumption by the charity are included in 18gacies and donations,. Goods donated for resale are included in Income from other trading activities, The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their ￿￿1P1. If the goods held are to be distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to reflect the lower of deemed cost adjusted for any loss of service potential and repla￿ment st. Replacement cost is the economic cost incurred if the charity was to replace the service potential of the donated goods at its own expense in the most economic manner. Donated seNices and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,IprDvided the value of the gift can be measured reliably} and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value. Membership subscriptions The income and any associated Gift Aid or other tax refund from a membership subscription received by the Charity in the nature of a gift, is accounted for on the same ba$1$ as a donation. The income from a membership subscription received by the charity where the subscription purcha8e9 the right to Se￿IceS or benefits is recognised as income from charitable activities. 61

Fighting All Cancers Together Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 Policies relating to expenditure on goods and seNices pmvided to the charity. Recognltlon of liabllltles and expendlture A liability, and the related expenditure, is reGognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a ￿Ult of a pasl evenl. and when rt is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be reqUI￿d in settlement. and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.. Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations. including Performan￿ related grants, where the timing or the amount of the futu￿ expenditure required to settle the obligation are ￿n￿rtaIn, give rise to a provision in the accounts, vthich is reVie￿Ed at the accounb.ng year end. The provision is increa￿1 to reflecl any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period. and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the reSI￿￿1Ve funds and activities to which the provision relates. Allocating costs to actlvitie5 Direct Costs that are specifirAlly ￿lated to an activity are allo¢aled to that adivity. Shared dired costs and support costs are apportioned tetween activities. The ba$1$ for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the ¢ir¢um8tances, is :_ Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity. Stsfflng - on a per capits basis, based on the number of of people employed within any partiular activity. Premises r•latsd ¢osts- on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity. Non spe¢ifi¢ Support costs on the basis of the usage of resource$, in terms of time tsken, capacity used, request made or other measures Estimatlon te¢hnlques used in apportioning costs- give details Voluntsers In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However. the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described MO￿ fully in Note6. Policies relating to assets. liabilities and provisions and other matters. Fixed Asset Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares. traded bonds. investment properties and similar investments are shown initially at cost upon acquisition and at their market value at the balance sheet date al the end of the financial period. Inve$knent properties are not depreciated. Fixed asset invesbnents in unlisted equities are shown al the balance sheet date at the best estimate of their market value. Whe￿ practicable. Where valuation techniques are considered unreliable or where. in the opinion of the Iruslees, the costs outsveigh the benefits to the users of the a¢￿￿nts, the investment is included at cosl, and a review is undertaken at each year end as lo whether the asset should be written down. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures Figming All can￿rS Together Trading Company Limited FACT Community Limited All gains on fixed asset investments, vthether ￿alised or unreali$ed, are included in row B4 of the Statement of Financial Activities. 62

Fighting All Cancers Together Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 Tangible flxed assets Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as desrJibed above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intsnded working condition. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the as58ts to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives. Freehold premises Plant and machinery straighl line 33.33 % straight line A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impaimient is undertaken. No depreciation is provided on freehold property and improvements because it is the practi￿ to maintain the property in a continual stsle of sound repair. Accordingly, the life is so long and the residual value so high that the Trustees consider that depreciation calculated in accordance with accepted accounting slandards would be immaterial. Accounting for capital grants and fixed asset funds. Gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature, given for the purposes of acquiring speafic assets to be fully utslised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity, are credited to fixed asset fvnds after the donated asset has been received or sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose. Where the terms of the gift require the charity to hokl the asset on an ongoing basis for a speafic purpose, then the fixed asset fund so created is categorised as a restricted fixed asset fund, and the relevant reslriclions are noted in the fixed asset note 12. Where the temis of the gift are met On￿ the asset is acquired, so allowing the charity to use the asset on an unrestricted basis, including the right to reoive the proceeds of any future sale of the asset on an unffstri¢ted basis. then the fixed asset fund so ¢reated is categorised as a designated fixed asset fund. When assets are acquired for the furtherance of the charity's objects, utilising the Charity's own unrestricted funds. transfer is made from unrestricted funds to a designated fixed asset fund. Whether acquired with unrestricted or re$tri¢ted funds, the asset acquired 1$ initially shown in the balan￿ sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation. As the related assets are depreciated. in accordance with the depreciation policy.in order to reflect the dimunition in the a$set,a transfer is made from the relevant fixed asset fvnds to either unrestricted or restricted revenue funds, as appropriate to the terms of the original gift, if any. The effect of this policy is that the aggregate of all f￿ed asset funds shall equate to the net book value of fixed assets. In the first year that thi5 policy wa5 adopled. a transfer to fixed asset funds was made equivalent to the net book value of Any residual liability to the donor arising from. for example, the asseys future sale, is disclosed as a contingent liabiltty unless the event that would trigger repayment of the grant becomes probable in which case a liability for repayment IS recognised. Insofar as this policy relales lo Government grants and to the exlent that f( may be a departure from the FRS 102 SORP (statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, las amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accountin9 periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP). such departure 15 justified on the basis that it is in order to comply with the SORP. Debtors Debtors are measured al their recoverable amounts al the balan￿ sheet date. 63

Fighting All Cancers Together Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 Creditors and provisions Creditors are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with nomial acGounting policies.

Designated fvnds are unrestricted funds eamiat1(ed by the Tnjstees for particular purposes. Restricted fund5 are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the temis of an appeal or as implied by law. There are no endowment funds. 2 Liability to taxatlon The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tesls set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potenlially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains a￿ applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the Charity and lor no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and 1$ therefore induded in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financtal Activities. 3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity If upon winding up or dissollrtion of the charity there remain any assets. after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fuThl shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity. 4 Slgnlflcance of financial instruments to the charlty's position There are no significant implications of such m8tterB. 5 Net surplus before tax In the financial year 2024 2023 The net Surplus before tsx in the financial year is stated after charging'.- Depreciation of owned fixed assets Pension Costs 68 4,647 165 2,042
