## **YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 April 2022. 

The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the unaudited financial statements and comply with the charity's governing documents, The Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to small charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRE 102)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

During the fiscal year 2021-22, Heartburn Cancer UK continued to work towards our well-defined mission and objectives as follows: 

## **Mission** 

To be a respected UK source of awareness and information on the risks of ignoring persistent heartburn, encouraging the public to seek medical advice, to champion research to enable an earlier diagnosis to save lives, and to support those living with reflux, Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal cancer . 

## **Our Objectives** 































For more information please visit our website at www.heartburncanceruk.org 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

## **HEARTBURN CANCER UK TRUSTEES' REPORT (Incorporating Directors' Report)** 

(continued) 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Although COVID continued to influence FY21/22 it was very positive for the charity to return to some events and activities. Although this was accompanied by the reduction of income from COVID-related grant funds which had covered our income gap during 2020, and we have therefore not quite returned to what we would consider ‘normal’ operating conditions. 

## Fundraising 

- Various fundraising events including 'The Royal Parks' and our own Goodwood Golf Day was our top income stream for FY 21/22 raising over £49k . 

- Corporate Donations, trusts and foundations raised through partnerships including The Lanesborough, Albert Hunt, Arnold Clarke, The Chidwick Trust and BMS followed closely behind with over £41k. 

- Website income, including donations, in memory and merchandise, raised over £27k. 

- Legacies/In Memorium Giving raised through our partner, Much Loved, raised just over £6k. 

- The curtailment of normal life restricted our opportunities to raise funds via other partners such as Charity Traveller and Discover Adventure. 

- There was a minimal take up of our ventures into “Make a Difference Cards”, “Easy Fundraising” and “Amazon Smile”. 

## Patient Support 

- Support groups in East Anglia and London continued to be restricted & unable to meet in person but have continued to meet via Zoom to great effect for participants. Indeed, this new way of sharing information may see these groups able to expand their audiences as Covid 19 is consigned to history. 

- We are delighted to report our specialist Upper GI nurse from Basingstoke has been in touch to explore how we can resume the Basingstoke support group now it’s possible to meet in person again. This group had no appetite for staying in contact via Zoom during the pandemic. 

- Our online patient support group on Facebook has continued to grow and is now nearly four times the size it was last year with almost 150 members. There have been supportive and encouraging conversations between patients in a variety of situations. There are those who are undergoing investigation, those with a new Barrett’s diagnosis, patients who are post- oesophagectomy and are re-discovering eating as well as those who have been given a terminal diagnosis; a broad mix and some uplifting and widely helpful exchanges and support being constantly shared. 

- As well as having our clinical trustees Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald and Professor Tim Underwood to whom we can refer patient questions, this year we’ve expanded our team to include Sarah Davies as Dietician in Residence and Dr Oliver Stovin (Retd) as Doctor in Residence. The team has been busy reviewing information, offering additional content, answering patient questions and providing a useful blog with helpful information about everything from care pathways to health and lifestyle information.

## **YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** _(continued)_ 

## Research and Diagnosis 

- We have invested significant time and effort in working with the Project DELTA team at Cambridge, to bring our Mobile Diagnostic Unit (MDU) to life. It was important to provide assistance as required by the DELTA team. Many useful lessons have been learnt from our first location in Shelford, near Cambridge, and we have developed a good working relationship with our partners. The unit has now moved to its second of three locations (Essex) as part of this collaboration, and we have been able to secure some additional funding which will help provide further resources to increase the number of clinics we can operate. In turn we expect to expediate the waiting time between referral and Cytosponge testing for patients. The unit will move to its third location in Suffolk and will remain in situ until the end of this calendar year. The data and learning from this project will help feed our plans for a suitable collaboration to enable further use of the unit post DELTA and help the Cytosponge to be adopted into regular care pathways. 

- HCUK and the Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery of Great Britain and Ireland (AUGIS) continue to co-fund the Surgical Specialist Lead (SSL) (Professor Tim Underwood) for oesophageal cancer through the RCSEng scheme. This role of Surgical Specialist Lead will help direct improvement of Oesophageal Cancer (OC) treatment and care and will continue in partnership with AUGIS. 

- Our chairman has spent much time and resource representing the charity and patients on numerous research projects, exemplified in writing letters of support, providing patient advocacy and lay representation in research projects, reviewing and editing documents to ensure their suitability for a lay audience. She is lay representative on the National Oesophago-gastric Cancer Audit (NOGCA). 

## General Awareness 

- Our raising of awareness has been maintained using our four social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, which have seen ‘followers’ increase significantly this year. We take every opportunity to advertise and boost posts more widely as and when appropriate. 

- Our website continues as the mainstay of our awareness campaigning. This is signposted for social media and new materials regularly. We have continued to take advantage of the Google Ads grant available to us as a charity. Work with our web host has also resulted in new Search Engine Optimisation functionality being made available on the platform, and this is now being exploited. 

- To expand our helpful video library this year we have created some further productions in our collaboration with FaceTV. These include: 

   - A short video about the Cytosponge. 

   - A video capturing the mobile unit launch and patients undertaking the Cytosponge test. 

   - An introduction to Professor Tim Underwood and the important role he plays as a surgeon and 

   - surgical specialist lead for OC which HCUK funds. 

   - 4 short videos featuring Professor Tim Underwood answering questions commonly asked by patients 

   - about Barrett’s & OC. 

   - Further executions are planned for next year. 

- The charity enjoyed very positive PR coverage helping to raise awareness from our MDU launch in June 2021, particularly involving BBC local radio, BBC Look East & ITV news as well as local newspapers.

(continued) **YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

## **Achievements and performance** _(continued)_ 

## General Awareness _(continued)_ 

- HCUK has just entered into a 2-year sponsorship agreement with six golf courses spread across the UK. This will see our messages shared in their clubs and amongst a prime audience of middle-aged men for the duration of the agreement, as well as offering the benefit of a ‘golf day’ at one club, with the twin aims of awareness and fundraising. 

The past three years has been a step-change period for HCUK in terms of every aspect of our mission and objective delivery, and this against a backdrop of turmoil, in particular caused by Covid 19 since early 2020. Most significantly, our office team has expanded and we enjoy the services of a proficient group of dedicated individuals, committed to saving lives. We have found new routes to our audiences for both making target groups aware of the dangers of ignoring persistent heartburn as well as access to funds which ensure we can continue to spread this vital message. We have an excellent website, with evidence of it being accessed regularly and widely. Our social media presence has improved dramatically over the period mentioned, and our ability to generate larger donations has grown, particularly through Covid and with the development and execution of an effective vision and strategy encompassed by our Fundraising manifesto. We are better able to offer reliable advice to sufferers and their families, largely due to the expansion of our volunteer team to include our Dietician and Dr in Residence. 

## **Financial Review** 

Total reserves are £158,244 (2021: £126,438), of this £74,023 is restricted and within restricted funds are held the fixed asset balance for the Mobile Diagnostic Unit. See note 17 for the detailed descriptions and balances on these funds. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to six months' expenditure, which is calculated to be in the region of £43,000. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. 

## **Risks** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. 

## **Plans for the future** 

In FY23 we will be celebrating our 20th year as a charity, an achievement we are proud of. We intend to build on all our platforms to widen our influence and messaging. Re-deployment of our Mobile Diagnostic Unit in H2 after the end of the current ‘Delta Project’ collaboration/partnership will be a key focus for the team. With collaborations and partnerships in place we would look to procure a second unit, probably in early FY24 (though this can be flexible if funds & resources permit), such that we can grow geographically. We are exploring collaborations/partnerships with Cancer Alliances, Cyted and other interested parties. The Lanesborough Hotel and The Goodwood Charity Golf Day have raised funds specifically for this purpose which is much appreciated.

**YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

## **HEARTBURN CANCER UK TRUSTEES' REPORT (Incorporating Directors' Report)** 

(continued) 

## **Plans for the future (continued)** 

We will continue our awareness messages which encourage those suffering long-term heartburn to seek medical advice via appropriate PR, social media, our website and any other appropriate channel and opportunities. We will continue awareness messages in support of the Cytosponge as well as general awareness. There will also be messaging around the fact that 20 years has not seen enough change for early diagnosis and how wider use of the Cytosponge could really make a difference and help save lives. 

A particular focus of activity in FY23 will be towards the cricketing community. The sad demise of Ray Illingworth at Christmas 2021 from OC offered an opportunity to work with prominent figures in the England and Wales Cricketing Community aimed at raising awareness amongst a key target group for the disease. We will expand on our successful PR work undertaken since then with further activity throughout the English cricket season. 

We have also partnered with a golfing group with 6 courses across the UK for awareness activity, with another opportunity in the pipeline. Middle-aged men in the UK are a group overly affected by heartburn, and most likely to ignore the symptoms. This group watch cricket and play golf, and so by focussing on these two sporting areas we expect to be more effective in helping those affected by heartburn symptoms to seek treatment. 

Our existing support groups and new Facebook help group have continued to provide an excellent service to users over the last year and we will continue to do everything necessary to widen their audiences and influence for the good of those living with Barrett’s or OC and their families. Support for patients is at the forefront of the work of the charity, and we will always prioritise efforts to provide this. 

Our fundraising activities in FY22 continued to be strong but rather differently ‘shaped’ to what one might consider normal, impacted by the pandemic. As access to ‘emergency’ funds naturally diminishes as instances of Covid 19 decline, we become more reliant on both our traditional sources (In Memoria, legacies and affected people undertaking activities). We have managed to expand our network of potential funds over the course of the last three years and will look to exploit these. Success in our activities to generate such funds will enable us to achieve the more significant of our stated objectives.

**HEARTBURN CANCER UK NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies General information** 

Heartburn Cancer UK ("the charitable company") has prepared financial statements covering its results for the year to 30 April 2022. The charitable company has presented its financial statements in Sterling, rounded to the nearest whole pound. 

The charitable company is a private company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the charitable company's registered office is presented on page 3 of these financial statements under Officers and Professional Advisors. The charitable company's principal activities and nature of the business are shown on page 4. 

## **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("SORP") and with the Charities Act 2011. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **Statement of Cashflows** 

The charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS102 update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cashflows. 

## **Going concern** 

At the time of preparing the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Charitable Funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated, by the Trustees, for other purposes. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donor that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Donations by way of grants are recognised either on receipt or Invoice, whichever is earlier. Donations and associated gift aid from on-line sites such as Just Giving and Virgin Giving are recognised as and when paid by those sites, after they have been verified and processed, and includes donations remitted to the charity from those sites within the financial year. These donations are recorded net of processing charges. 

13 



## **HEARTBURN CANCER UK NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** (continued) 

Other donations and legacies are recognised on receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Donated services and facilities are included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year they are received at the value of the gift to the charity, provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. The expense element of such donations is reflected in resources expended in the appropriate expense category. 

## **Resources expended** 

Costs of generating voluntary income comprise the costs incurred by the charity to induce others to make donations to the charity. 

Activities in furtherance of charitable objectives undertaken directly relate to expenditure incurred as a direct result of undertaking the charitable objectives of the charity. 

## **Governance and core activities expenditure** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

Core Activities Expenditure are those costs incurred directly in support of the objects of the charitable company and fundraising and are allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost represents purchase price together with any incidental costs of acquisition. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, net of anticipated disposal proceeds, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: - Mobile Diagnostic Unit straight line over 5 years 

## **Financial Instruments** 

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

## **Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement** 

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimated and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
