Heartburn Cancer UK End of Year Report – FY22-23
Heartburn Cancer UK’s 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.
Achievements and Performance
We have returned to a more normal year post pandemic with positive results in our fundraising income and charity activities. We have positively impacted the lives of 300 individuals living with oesophageal cancer, Barrett’s oesophagus and who are experiencing persistent heartburn. We have provided support, information and signposting via email, phone, our growing online community and face to face peer support groups. We have seen demand for our work and the impact we are able to have improve wellbeing, physical and mental health and the day-to-day quality of life of our beneficiaries.
Patient Support
-
Support groups in East Anglia and Basingstoke returned to normal by either meeting in person or finding a hybrid solution. London chose to continue with Zoom meetings. Basingstoke has now returned to meetings and is thriving again following the pandemic.
-
Our online patient support group on Facebook has continued to grow and now has 100 new members with over 250 in total. Helpful and supportive conversations between various patient groups continue to provide excellent peer support with some very uplifting exchanges.
-
Our clinical trustees Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald and Professor Tim Underwood, Sarah Davies (Dietician) and Dr Oliver Stovin (retired GP) as Dietician in Residence and Doctor in Residence respectively provide invaluable support, content, and help the team answer questions on a variety of topics with their clinical expertise.
-
The team supports patients via phone calls, emails, the website and questions through social media.
-
We had discussions regarding establishing a support group at Chase Farm Hospital with the encouragement of the clinical nurse specialist. We had our first meeting in February.

Research and Diagnosis
-
We have invested significant time and effort in working with the Project DELTA team at Cambridge, to continue and complete the study with our Mobile Diagnostic Unit (MDU). It was important to provide assistance as required by the DELTA team. Many useful lessons about using the Cytosponge™ in primary care have been learnt and we have developed a good working relationship with our partners. The data and learning from this project will help feed our plans for suitable collaborations to enable further use of the unit post DELTA, help the Cytosponge™ progress to being adopted into regular care pathways and support the ordering of our second mobile diagnostic unit.
-
HCUK were also invited to be a non-funded partner on Cytoprime 1 and then Cytoprime 2. These are both SBRI funded projects and support further initiatives that offer the Cytosponge™ in primary care. HCUK have been particularly involved in PPIE (Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement).
-
Professor Tim Underwood continues in his role as Surgical Specialist Lead for improvements to Oesophageal Cancer (OC) treatment and care. This financial support will continue in partnership with AUGIS when a new clinician is recruited to the role.
-
Our chairman has spent much time and resource representing the charity and patients on numerous research projects as a lay representative and project advisor, exemplified in writing letters of support, providing patient advocacy, and reviewing and editing documents to ensure their suitability for a lay audience.
-
We provided patients who were involved in giving feedback for the PEUGIC (Post Endoscopy Upper GI Cancer) study which explores missed cancers post endoscopy.
-
HCUK’s involvement with supporting NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) activity continued and we formed a new relationship supporting the SMC (Scottish Medical Consortium).
General Awareness
-
Our raising of awareness has been maintained using our social media platforms, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and we have recently added Tik Tok. Followers have increased across all platforms.
-
Our website continues as the mainstay of our awareness campaigning and provision of information for patients and the public. This is signposted from social media and new materials are regularly updated. We have continued to take advantage of the Google Ads grant available to us as a charity ($10,000 each month).
-
To expand our helpful video library this year we created some video snippets suitable for social media that would support understanding of the Cytosponge™ and the opportunity to self-refer if you met specific criteria. This was in collaboration with Face TV and initially for our work with DELTA and the MDU. We also featured on a video with Cancer52 that shared our work.
-
The charity enjoyed some regular articles in The Basingstoke Gazette, double page articles in the Charity pages of Expert Witness magazine and an online and printed healthcare review for a wide range of healthcare professionals in NI, Scotland and Wales via Kyron Media. We also had an article in the PCA Professional Cricketers Association Magazine featuring Tim Underwood.
-
We featured on the radio with Rebecca Fitzgerald and Oliver Stovin in some relevant locations for the mobile unit and DELTA and to promote our Golf Day at Worplesdon.
-
Tim Underwood, his Clinical Nurse Specialist, an oesophagectomy patient and Fiona Labrooy our Operations Manager presented at a meeting for Pharmaceutical representatives in London, with some first-class feedback from our audience.
Page 3
- HCUK continued its 2-year sponsorship agreement with six golf courses spread across the UK. This sees our messages shared in their clubs and amongst a prime audience of middleaged men for the duration of the agreement.
Fundraising
-
Individual fundraising events where supporters collect funds through Just Giving was a great income stream with nearly £67k raised. Website donations gathered nearly £19k and corporate donations raised in excess of £22k. Trusts and Foundations raised £20k and “In memoriam giving”, including funds raised from Much Loved and donations specifically noted as being given in memory raised over £27k. While our organised event income including activities like Golf days was over £19k.
-
We have had a very positive and supportive relationship with corporate partners the Lanesborough. Our Chairman Mimi McCord and Fiona Labrooy our Operation’s Manager, presented to the Senior Management Team to share the charities activities, and in turn they showed us the touch points for guests at the hotel that introduce the charity. The Lanesborough also supported us with wonderful auction prizes and teams for events.
-
We had a successful relationship with Worplesdon Golf Club who made us their charity of the year following the death of former captain John Harridge from OAC. This included various fundraising activities including a Grand Golf Day.
-
A new corporate partnership was established with DOC Cleaning whose team had also been impacted by oesophageal cancer.
-
Grant applications have been very successful with £20k raised across the year with a focus on our support and core costs.

Our 20[th] Anniversary
2023 is the 20th anniversary of the charity and we intend to exploit this milestone through adventure challenges, major charity events and use of media opportunities. We want to highlight the focus of the charity to raise awareness of the possible dangers of ignoring persistent heartburn and its link to Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. We will do this through our ‘Demanding Hope’ campaign as well as via our awareness messages using PR, social media, our website and any other appropriate channel and opportunities. This will enable an earlier diagnosis of cancer when curative treatment is still possible. In the 20 years of the charity’s existence the prognosis for this cancer remains appalling. A particular highlight will be in February for Oesophageal Cancer Awareness Month when we intend to join forces with Cyted and The Lanesborough, London, to raise awareness using the mobile unit and provide some capsule sponge testing through clinical partnerships.
Early Diagnosis & Awareness using the Mobile Diagnostic Unit
During 2022, HCUK’s awareness and early diagnosis activity was focused on the continuation of the Mobile Diagnostic Unit (MDU) in partnership with the DELTA project. The unit enabled primary care activity using the Cytosponge™ in Essex and then Suffolk, following on from its time in Cambridge in 2021. This allowed up to 1500 tests to be undertaken by invited patients who fulfilled the criteria using the GP database, and self-referral patients over 40 years of age suffering from heartburn and self-medicating with antacids. Results will contribute to the DELTA Project’s efforts to have the Cytosponge™ adopted as a mainstream early diagnostic test by the NHS. In 2023 the unit will complete its work with DELTA and will continue work supporting the progress of the Cytosponge™ at the start of Cancer Research’s BEST4 study which will help demonstrate the Cytosponge™ diagnostic test can save lives. The unit will also be used as part of SBRI funded Cytoprime2’s study continuing to develop the pathways for use of the Cytosponge™ in primary care for surveillance of Barrett’s, case finding and triage. This also sees HCUK fulfilling a supportive role in PPIE (Patient and Public involvement and Engagement) as a non-funded partner. There has been further interest to use the unit from Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and Cancer Alliances who want the opportunity to use the capsule sponge test in their areas, which will instigate us having our second unit built.
Social Media
Social media and our website has continued to form a major element of HCUK’s awareness work. The HCUK website has continued to be developed to widen exposure using the various optimisation tools available, and with newly- developed SEO ‘capabilities’ this will extend reach to a wider audience. Social media channels have been exploited to their maximum potential with available resources. The launch and growth of the Facebook-based Barrett’s and Oesophageal Cancer Online Support Group suggests this was a welcome addition to HCUK’s support offering for those living with these conditions and their families (252 members at time of writing). We plan to further develop our support and information provision in 2023 by growing our face-to-face support groups, extending our online support group activities to include a series of speakers and Q & A sessions. We will be adding to our video library and will refresh our website information and literature to ensure it remains accessible and up to date. HCUK are also going to form the HCUK Patient Advocacy Forum to support and review information, literature and activities involving patients.

Financial Review
Total reserves are £217,337 (2022: £158,244), of this £129,256 (2022: £74,023) is restricted and within restricted funds are held the fixed asset balance for the Mobile Diagnostic Unit. See note 18 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 £58,000. 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.

HEARTBURN CANCER UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
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.
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.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - Straight line over 5 years
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost represents purchase price together with any incidental costs of acquisition.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributionspayable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
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.
Financial instruments
The charitable company only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.Basic financial instrumentsare initiallyrecognised 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.
