**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2020** 

I am sure I don’t need to remind anybody about the impact Covid 19 has had during the year. It has had a significant effect on the day to day work that we all undertake, including the work of the Charity. 

During the year our small and dedicated workforce led by General Manager Julie Russell remained to the fore in ensuring we delivered on our promise to support those in need, both individuals and families whenever circumstances allowed, and I am grateful for their dedication during what has been a very difficult time. 

As you will be aware we have been forced to make a number of difficult decisions in the short term due to the on‐going restrictions, but we look forward to the Charity being back and fully functioning in the not too distant future. 

In the meantime, work continues, and while some events are on hold, the need to strategically plan for our future requirements goes on to ensure we remain in a position to continue the important services for people touched by cancer – services that will be even more important as we consolidate and expand on the outstanding work undertaken in the many areas that the Charity is involved in. 

Our move to our new shop and offices at Vangarde Monks Cross did not take place as expected, and the continuing delay has been a source of frustration. The move is now planned in 2021 and will hopefully have happened by the time you read this. This will put the Charity far more central from an awareness point of view. 

A number of Board member colleagues have retired this year, and we would like to record our thanks to Keith Hayton, Pat Kay, Gordon Topping and John Yeomans for the many years of hard work and dedication they have given. We also sadly lost a number of supporters and volunteers, and our thoughts go out to their families, and we wish them well for the future. 

Every one of them supported the day to day work of the Charity, and our volunteers, our staff and all those who help in their own way enable us to continue to provide the important services and funding for research that the Charity is recognised for. 

Despite the many restrictions, our minibus service was able to operate in difficult conditions at times, and our thanks go to Ian and Neil for providing this important service when many other cancer services were severely curtailed by the NHS. Working in the office, promoting the Charity or driving our minibus our small and important band of dedicated staff are the daily face of York Against Cancer, and ably supported by our committed army of volunteers, the Charity remains in good hands. 

We have missed the regular involvement of our wonderful volunteers, but we know when things start to return to normal you will once again provide support in our shops and at numerous events throughout the year.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The members of the Board are constantly looking at the needs of cancer patients and cancer services in the area to see where an investment could provide a significant improvement to the cancer services. 

The delay in the Monks Cross development will mean that the charity will remain on the Huntington site for the present and the date for moving will be 2021. 

The charity has continued to benefit from legacies during the year which give a great boost to the charity’s funds, and we are immensely grateful to these generous people. Legacy income is, unpredictable and is another reason why the charity must husband its resources in the most effective way to enable the services we provide to both continue and develop. 

## **Mobile Chemotherapy Unit** 

In recent years, the charity has worked on raising its profile, both locally and in a wider area of North and East Yorkshire with a successful rebranding exercise.  With the Mobile Chemotherapy Unit project coming to fruition which takes chemotherapy services to the wider areas of the York Teaching Hospital, at Malton, Selby, Scarborough and Bridlington, it has enabled the charity to widen its reach. This has helped thousands of patients the time-consuming and tiring journeys to the hospital in York. In its first full year of operation the unit has been very well received by both medical staff and patients. 

It also significantly increased the capacity of the hospital to provide the chemotherapy services to meet the needs of patients. Our fundraisers have been actively raising funds to help with the running costs of the enterprise. 

## **Respite Properties** 

The holiday homes at Filey and Whitby continue to provide a welcome break, each in its own special environment. The many letters of appreciation we receive are an indication of how much a short break in these luxurious surroundings are appreciated. The YAC board is looking into extending this service through exploring opportunities to buy an additional property. 

## **Dermatoscope Project** 

The dermatoscope project, launched 3 years previously, has continued to expand and develop and is really beginning to make an impact to help the early diagnosis of skin cancer, by which these specially designed photo units have been supplied to all GP practices in the area, has made the early diagnosis of skin cancer not only easier and more efficient but has greatly reduced the waiting time for patients to see a consultant. This model of this project has been picked up by other areas and is now being replicated in other hospitals 

## **Supporting patients** 

The Health Care Assistant have continued to provide support for families affected by cancer. These appointments are made in conjunction with the NHS to provide support for patients and their families; support which is not available through the normal NHS services. This year complementary therapy arranged through the Cancer Care Centre has been significantly affected by Covid-19 and patients have been offered complementary therapy and other services virtually. Our minibus service has also been affected by Covid, for a few months it was not able to run but as soon as the restrictions allowed it resume, however, with a restricted number of passengers. It continues to be an excellent and muchvalued service of transporting patients to St. James’ Hospital.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Health Welfare Advisor** 

The charity continues to support the Citizens Advice Bureau in their work with cancer patients at Scarborough hospital: this work provides support for those having cancer treatment and based at Scarborough to ensure that they receive all the help to which they are entitled. 

## **Management Report** 

The small team of hardworking office staff deal effectively with all aspects of the day-to-day operation of the charity, and it is worth noting that during 2020 that there has been an inevitable impact on fundraising and charity/staff/board morale and the charity have striven to deal with those demands and risen to meet the challenges head on. 

The teams work is sometimes challenging as they deal with people facing cancer and on occasions this can impact on their resolve, they deal with this together and their teamwork is impressive. The team are friendly and often are found smiling. The way it is possible for our manager and her staff to respond quickly to any requests or challenges is a key strength for York Against Cancer as a local charity. 

## **Minibus** 

We continue to get very encouraging feedback from the users of the minibus, the Whitby apartment and the Filey holiday home. The members of staff have worked in close co-operation with the Cancer Care Centre and this has enabled the apartment to be used by some very deserving cases. The thoughtful and kind approach of our minibus drivers has also again been very much appreciated. 

## **The people supported by York Against Cancer** 

Although the people directly employed by the charity are those listed above there are, in addition, those who are employed directly by others but whose salary costs are paid by York Against Cancer. All these posts are supported as the work done by these people directly enables the charity to achieve its goals. These posts are itemised below and illustrate the range of activities supported by the Board: 

JBU - Director of the Jack Birch Unit 

Assistant Director 

Laboratory technician 

Administrative assistant 

Administrators at the Cancer Care Centre (3 staff covering 37 hours) 

Health Care Assistant (part-time) 

Complementary therapists (one full-time equivalent) 

Clinical Research Nurse and Assistant posts at York Hospital (two-year funding to end of 2021) 

Research Fellow in Informatics at the Jack Birch Unit (from 2019 to 2024) 

All these supported positions are initially given for a fixed term (usually two or three years) and then reviewed by the Board. This is done to ensure that the money so generously raised by our supporters is used in the most efficient way.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Education** 

The Cancer Awareness and Prevention group continues to work to spread information about cancer across as wide a range of the public as possible with an emphasis on young people. The work of the group is reported separately on page 9. 

## **Fundraising** 

The retail outlets, at Huntington and the Hospital have continued to be an invaluable source of income and the hospital shop provides a very useful ‘shop front’ for the charity.  The sterling work done by our volunteers; and our staff in the office has yet again given up many hours in the evening and at weekends to help raise funds and spread the message about York Against Cancer. The links with the local business community have again proved a great benefit to the charity. With all these efforts from our employed staff and volunteers the charity is able to provide more much-needed support to many in the local community. Compared to many charities, it is remarkable to consider that York Against Cancer does not employ a fundraiser as such and we are totally reliant on our supporters and volunteers for the funding we receive. 

York Against Cancer is committed to maintaining high standards of fundraising and retail activity.  The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator.  The Charity has recognised and begun to put in place a comprehensive policy for fundraising.  The Charity does not use any third parties to act on its behalf in relation to fundraising. No complaints were received by the charity during 2019 in relation to its fundraising activities.  For further information on fundraising activities undertaken during the year see page 10.

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Jack Birch Unit of Molecular Carcinogenesis Annual Report 2020** 

What a year that was! I don’t think there’s anyone unaffected by the pandemic, but it’s not all been bad news on the JBU front. 

Back in January 2020 I attended the University of York Graduation Ceremony where York Against Cancer were conferred onto the College of Benefactors as a founding member. In late February, I visited India with a couple of University colleagues under the Global Challenges Research Fund programme to explore potential collaborations. Here we met many enthusiastic researchers with common interests in carcinogenesis mediated through contamination of water courses by heavy metals, such as cadmium. Then, just before lockdown, Simon Baker attended the Bladder Cancer Translational Meeting in Birmingham to present his work towards a new personalised therapy for Bladder Cancer. 

Then came lockdown. Amazingly, Simon carried on lab work throughout the first lockdown as he had ongoing experimental work. This research resulted in a publication in a leading scientific journal and was featured on the front cover. The paper describes the “signatures” left by carcinogens and brings important new insight for understanding the causes of bladder cancer. 

Although lockdown meant we could not travel, we were able to participate remotely by zoom in various scientific conferences, including the International Bladder Cancer Network in October (at which Simon presented). Our clinical fellow, Debora Morgante presented her research to the Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Group meeting and won first prize. We also “Zoomed” into schools to spread the word about York Against Cancer, our research and the possibilities of scientific careers. 

Of our staff and students. Jen returned from maternity leave in April; Edgar (Zhen Liu) returned to China to finish writing up his PhD and our York Against Cancer PhD student, Tom Crighton submitted his PhD thesis titled “Hippo and Sonic Hedgehog signalling pathway modulation of human urothelial tissue homeostasis”.  We were joined by Ryan Ellis as our latest York Against Cancer-funded student and by Ben Jarvis, a one-year Masters by Research student. Vlad Ungureanu also joined us as a PhD student based between the Departments of Electronic Engineering and Biology, and jointly supervised by Andrew Mason, among others. As our York Against Cancer-funded Independent Research Fellow, Andrew continues to develop the informatics capability of the JBU, including hiring Katie Skinner for one-year as a bioinformatician before she starts a PhD in cancer bioinformatics in the USA in Autumn 2021.

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

We missed running our cake stalls to raise funds for York Against Cancer but managed to raise £380 through the – you’ve guessed it – zoom quiz that Andrew Mason ran in November. 


The JBU group carried on having weekly research meetings on zoom throughout the year. 

As always, we are extremely grateful for research support from York Against Cancer, who help towards funding several salaries of staff in the Jack Birch Unit – plus the research fellowship of Dr Andrew Mason.  Finally, I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contribution that our scientific and clinical collaborators make to the quality and output of our research.

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Cancer Education and Awareness Team** 

## **Annual Report 2020** 

I became interim chair of the committee in January, following John Molyneux who has served for many years with the last 6 years as chair. John has been very enthusiastic and hardworking and was particularly supportive when I joined the committee. Last year also saw Steve Leveson and Keith Hayton stepping down. Both have been important members of our committee as well as key figures in the history of York Against Cancer. 

I’m very pleased to report the activities of the committee for 2020 which, of course, were overshadowed by the Covid-19 Pandemic. The committee has met virtually, via Zoom, and many of our efforts have been adversely affected. With this in mind, I would like to outline our progress in 2020. 

Following Simon Baker’s hard work, the Enthuse partnership with local schools was due to start in early 2020. However, the Covid-19 pandemic struck and schools were forced to close. Throughout the year education has been severely disrupted and the project could not get underway. The funding provided will be rolled forward from the point that teachers are able to focus on the scheme. 

Simon has also discussed with York University the possibility of making the Campus smoke free. Unfortunately, for logistical reasons, this could not be implemented. However, it was agreed to stop the sale of tobacco on Campus. 

Because of school closures, we were unable to carry out our annual delivery of sun hats and sun awareness leaflets to primary schools. We will resume this important activity as soon as permitted. 

Julie Russell and I continued our regular meetings [again virtual of course] with Dr. Dan Cottingham, the lead GP for cancer care at the CCG. It has been very helpful to share information regarding, for example, cancer screening programmes and the very encouraging success of the use of YAC funded dermato-scopes in Primary Care. 

Again, unfortunately we were unable to hold our annual cancer awareness day in York city centre due to Covid-19 restrictions. 

Lynn Bartram who sits on the committee is a Primary School Head. She highlighted the issue of providing support to children who are affected by cancer either through family or other contacts. Julie Russell and Lynn worked together to define a collection of age specific books which can be supplied to children requiring help. York Against Cancer will fund the supply of these books into schools. 

In November the committee held a virtual brain-storming meeting to bring forward ideas which might form a development plan for 2021. Lively and interesting discussion resulted in suggestions that ranged from local and online media, through theatre workshops in schools to a medicinal herb garden. All projects to raise cancer awareness in our community. 

Following a change of the York Against Cancer Terms of Reference in early 2020, I stood as interim chair of the committee through 2020. Lynn Bartram, who also sits on the main board, kindly agreed to become chair of the Education and Awareness committee in January 2021.I’m sure that her knowledge and experience in education will be invaluable in taking the work of the committee and York Against Cancer forward.

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Fundraising report 2020** 

As we started 2020, we could not have envisaged what we were facing regarding the pandemic, internationally, nationally, and locally.  As the country went into lock down it meant that all our planned fundraising events were postponed.  It was obvious quite early on that the charities fundraising income would be severely impacted by the situation but as a health related and caring charity our priority was to do everything to keep our fundraisers, supporters, volunteers, and staff safe. 

Our regular fundraisers were contacted, new dates were discussed and diarised. This demonstrated that our faithful band of fundraisers were not going to let a pandemic stop them supporting us in the future.   This is heart-warming and shows what our charity means to the people of York and the wider area of North and East Yorkshire. 

Some fundraisers were determined to continue and either adapted their events to be Covid friendly or in fact changing their event to become a virtual event.  It has made us and many of our fundraisers think about fundraising in a different way and in fact given it another dimension and virtual events are more than likely a thing of the future. 

The situation has also given us the time to consider our fundraising methods; what we do, how we do them and in fact are there better, more efficient, and more profitable ways of fundraising. 

Here are a few examples of how fundraising has continued during 2020 

- Local band ‘Sister madly’ held a virtual concert on Facebook live raising £585 

- The Jack Birch Unit held a zoom quiz which raised £380 

- The York Peddlers set themselves a challenge to cycle 10,000 miles.  They did by cycling individually and adding up their miles. They raised a huge £5,700 

In conclusion, 2020 has been a difficult year for us but we are optimistic about the future and we look forward to working with our fundraisers and supporters long into the future. 

Thank you to everyone who have fundraised and to those also who have plans to raise money for us we really do appreciate you all – thank you for your contributions.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The charity was incorporated on 22 April 2009 and its governing document is the memorandum and articles of association. The charity is a company limited by guarantee. 

The charity is governed by a Board of Directors, supported by working groups as required. The Board members are all Trustees and include Officers of the Charity. 

The Board meets four times a year and the various working groups meet as required during the year. 

The members of the Board are volunteers. New Board members are elected by the existing members up to a maximum of twelve in total. 

## **Trustee Induction and Training** 

New Trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under charity law, the committee and decisionmaking processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the Charity. During their induction they meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.  At the end of each three tenure the trustees are required to update their trustee training. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Board delegates the day-to-day management of the affairs of the Charity to one Board member, Keith Hayton, who serves as the Honorary Administrator (resigned 7 July 2020). This responsibility was taken on by Tarnia Hudson (commenced July 2020). 

The members of staff employed by the Charity during the year were: 

|Julie Russell|General Manager|
|---|---|
|Heather Atkinson|Office & Accounts Manager|
|Lauren Hudson|Personal Assistant to General Manager from 9thMarch 2020|
|Nicola Doherty|P.A. to General Manager until 7thFebruary 2020 – Office &|

|Neil Johnson|Minibus Driver (part-time)|



## **Board membership** 

In March 2013 the Board adopted, by unanimous agreement, a protocol to introduce a three-year rule from that date. Board members continue to actively seek new trustees, taking into consideration a good mix of professional skills including business, education and medical.  A term of office for a director is 3 years, after which time he/she may be re-elected for a further 3-year term up to a maximum of 9 years in total (details of current terms of office available on request). 

## **Remuneration of key personnel** 

All members of staff employed by the charity have an annual appraisal in January following which salaries are set for the following 12 months.  The appraisals are carried out by the General Manager. 

No Board member received any income or expenses for their work for the charity.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Related parties** 

The Charity owns the whole of the issued ordinary share capital of York Against Cancer Trading Company Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. The subsidiary is used for the raising of funds for the Charity through the sale of bought in goods through the Charity’s two shops. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and continues to take measures to reduce those risks to an acceptable minimum. The policy of only making new commitments when the funds are in hand is a very practical way of eliminating unnecessary financial risks.  By its very nature a charity relies on fundraising, donations and legacies which can vary a great deal.  Ongoing commitments are to our staff, to a range of time limited research and care projects and to the leasehold of the new premises at the LNER community stadium with a delayed move in 2021.  The move will provide greater storage and office space and a retail outlet with a good footfall. The trustees have calculated the move is necessary for the further development of the work of the charity.  It should be emphasised that supporting staff not directly employed by York Against Cancer is always done on a time-limited basis (typically two years) which is renewed as appropriate provided funds are available. 

The Board is very mindful that the charity has a substantial reserve of funds and seeks to find effective ways in which these can be utilised to fulfil the aims of York Against Cancer, whilst at the same time investing some funds to provide for future security. 

## **Financial review and polices** 

The Charity’s funds in 2020 increased by £24,290. Large investment gains have reduced the deficit significantly. Prior to any adjustment for investments, the Charity made a deficit of £146,787 (2019 deficit of £498,309). The charity was expecting a deficit as it utilises some of the excess free reserves for charitable purposes. 

The principal funding sources are fund-raising, the trading shops, donations, legacies and members’ subscriptions. Gross income in 2020 amounted to £389,859 (2019 £1,708,583). These funds support the key objectives of the Charity, namely, to fund clinical research, to support people with cancer and to fund education about the disease. 

£163,187 was committed on project expenditure, to support the Charity’s ongoing projects. Due to COVID-19 there were limited additional projects taken on this year. The detail of funding of projects can be found in note 6. 

## **Investment powers and policy** 

The Trustees have a general power of investment and so have the discretion to invest in such investment assets as they see fit. The Trustees have set a policy that sufficient of the ‘free reserves’ should be invested to retain a reasonable liquidity to meet grant commitments. 

Our policy is a medium low risk approach for the growth of the portfolio of investments. The investment managers have discretion about how the investments are managed within the policy parameters set by the Trustees.

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The Investment Group oversees the investment management of the Charity’s funds. The services of HSBC Private Bank and Ruffer were retained as investment managers during 2020. Funds not invested are held on deposit to earn interest. 

The total return on the investment portfolio managed by HSBC for the year ended 31 December 2020, before fees, was 0.43% (2019 14.67%). The total return on investment portfolio managed by Ruffer for the year ended 31 December 2020, before fees, was 11.8% (2019 6.8%). 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The reserves policy is to generate a stable and sustainable return to fund grant making, to ensure continued financial security and to provide for contingencies. Cash reserves are accumulated before making a binding commitment to fund a project due to the nature and uncertainty of the income streams. The total funds held as at 31 December 2020 are £4,282,644 (2019 £4,258,354). 

The Board is very mindful that the charity has a substantial reserve of funds at present after the receipt of some large legacies. The board is actively seeking to find effective ways in which these can be utilized to fulfil the aims of York Against Cancer, whilst at the same time investing some funds to provide for future security. 

## **Undesignated Fund** 

These are free reserves retained to provide working capital and funds for future projects. At the end of the financial year, the free reserves were £3,503,531 (2019 £3,434,524) accumulated largely due to the receipt of several generous legacies, which by their very nature are unpredictable. The level of free reserves will enable the Charity to give significant support to worthwhile projects which make a measurable impact. 

## **Designated Funds** 

Designated funds are part of the unrestricted funds which trustees have earmarked for assets held for the use in the charity and specific projects. At the year end, The Charity had consolidated designated funds of £635,088 (2019 £667,862) details of which are given in Note 16 of the financial statements. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

Restricted funds represent monies raised by the Charity from public appeals for specific projects. At the year end, the Charity had restricted funds of £144,025 (2019 £155,968) details of which are given in Note 17 to the financial statements. 

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on donations and fundraising since April 2020 as events have been either cancelled or postponed. The charity has significant reserves brought forward and these will be used to help support the charity adapt where needed and keep its on-going commitments.

## **DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Directors and Trustees Responsibilities** 

The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the Directors’ and Trustees’ responsibilities for the financial statements from those of the auditors as stated in their report. 

Company and charity law require the Directors and Trustees to prepare financial statements which give a true and fair view of the Charitable Company’s state of affairs at the end of its financial activities for that year. 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. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charitable Company will continue in operation. 

The Directors and Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable Company and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable charity law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the Directors and Trustees are aware: 

- There is no relevant information of which the Charitable Company’s auditor is unaware; and 

- The Directors and Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Opinion on financial statements** 

We have audited the financial statements of York Against Cancer for the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement, the Income and Expenditure Account and related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matter on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 required us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of Board of Trustees's remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of the trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 14, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- We have obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charity through discussions with senior management and review of the regulatory framework of any professional or membership bodies that the Charity is a part of. The Charity uses third parties to ensure that it remains up to date with changes and to review compliance with all its legal and regulatory requirements. In making our assessment of detecting irregularities, including fraud, we have discussed the issue with management who have advised that, other than changes to the work place to ensure that they are Covid-19 compliant, there have been no changes and the Charity remains compliant with its legal and regulatory requirement. Nothing has been brought to light in completing our audit work that contradicts this. 

- The following laws and regulations have been identified as being of significance in the context of the Charity; Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, fundraising regulations, health and safety legislation, employment laws, data protection, and relevant tax laws. 

- In making our assessment of the susceptibility of the Charity's financial statements to material misstatement, we have also considered how fraud might occur. No instances of material misstatement or fraud have been noted in the audit of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

- All matters regarding non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud have been communicated to all members of the audit engagement team. The engagement partner has assessed that the engagement team has the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations, affected by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the Charity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

**YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF YORK AGAINST CANCER** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the director. 

- Conclude on the appropriateness of the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Charity to cease to continue as a going concern. 

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the Charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and any short term deposit accounts with a maturity of three months or less from the date of opening. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Operating Leases** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged in the SOFA on a straight line basis over the lease term.

## **22. VOLUNTEERS** 

The Charity is fortunate to be supported by over 100 volunteers. Their activities include working in our shops, attending events, supporting the office, collections and baking. Without them the Charity could not achieve what it does; their support is a massive asset in both workforce and financial terms. Whilst going about their work they are also ambassadors for the Charity which encourages more people to volunteer and support. 

With varied knowledge, skills and experience the volunteers make an invaluable group. Our thanks goes to them all – together we really do make a difference to cancer patients and their families.
