TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

The trustees present their annual report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2022.

Oldham Cancer Support Centre Limited, a Charitable Company (company registered number: 07961393 – registered charity number: 1150581), converted to Oldham Cancer Support Centre CIO (a Charitable Incorporated Organisation) under registered charity number 1150581 at the Charity Commission on the 29[th] of December 2021.

A special resolution to convert Oldham Cancer Support Centre from a Charitable Company (limited by guarantee) into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) was passed by the Board of Trustees at Oldham Cancer Support Centre on the 25[th] of November 2020. On the 7[th] of December 2021 the Board of Trustees passed an ordinary resolution to adopt the Charity Commission’s Foundation Model for a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).

The annual accounts last year (for the year ended 31[st] March 2021) are classed as the “Pre-Conversion Year” and were prepared as a Charitable Company under FRS102 Charity SORP regulations under the Companies Act 2006.

Oldham Cancer Support Centre CIO was registered at the Charity Commission on the 29[th] of December 2021 (before the year end date of 31[st] March 2022). As such the accounts for this financial year (year ended 31[st] March 2022) are classed as the “Conversion Year,” and are prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis under the Charities Act 2011. [Reference “The Charitable Incorporated Organisations (Conversion) Regulations 2017 (SI 2017/1232) Regulations 13-14].

Aims

Oldham Cancer Support Centre offers support and information to anyone whose life is adversely affected by cancer i.e. cancer patients, their close family members/primary carers and those who have been bereaved by cancer. Located in the Ena Hughes Centre in Failsworth our services include counselling and complementary therapies as well as practical advice about accessing information regarding finance, benefits, travel insurance, nutrition, safe exercise, interest groups etc.

We also run a monthly Patients’ Support Group Meeting and a monthly Carers’ Drop-in Group. Our Centre provides a calm place in which clients can relax and also have a cup of tea and a chat if they choose.

Objectives

These continue to reflect the ethos of the Charity and it is important that we maintain and improve the Charity’s work. By continuing to follow the public benefit guidance of the Charity Commission we aim to secure and maintain:

By providing our services the Charity supports all those whose lives are adversely affected by cancer and referrals can be made by any health professional in the area or clients can self-refer. Oldham Cancer Support Centre needs an adequate number of referrals to maintain an effective programme of support, which in turn ensures a high quality continuity of service. We continue to have excellent relationships with other cancer agencies in the area, thus promoting the Charity’s work.

Counselling and Therapies

Counselling – our highly qualified and experienced Counsellors provide invaluable support for those people who are going through extremely difficult times. Feedback demonstrates how beneficial this service is and how appreciative clients are.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

Complementary Therapies – provided by well qualified and very experienced Therapists. Therapies available include reiki, reflexology, several different massages including aromatherapy, Indian head massage and Thai foot massage, hot stones treatment and holistic facials. All counselling and complementary therapy treatments are funded by the Charity.

Patients’ Support Group – this group usually meets on the last Wednesday of each month and provides an opportunity for cancer patients, past and present, to meet together socially, have a coffee and then some lunch together. The group is facilitated by one of the Oldham Cancer Support Centre Counsellors who was also a palliative care nurse and is always available if anyone needs to speak to her on a one-to-one basis. She is assisted by another Oldham Cancer Support Centre Volunteer.

Carers’ Drop-in Group – the group usually meets on the last Monday of each month. Three of Oldham Cancer Support Centre’s Volunteers facilitate the group, but group members decide what they would like to do in each session. These meetings are invaluable to those carers who attend as they are usually the only times that they are able to take a break from caring for a loved one. It is an opportunity to share their experiences and relax in a very informal and friendly setting.

Meditation and Relaxation Group – this is usually held once a month and open to all who wish to attend, and is facilitated by one of our highly qualified therapists and funded by the Charity, being held in Failsworth Town Hall.

Achievements for the Year

We reopened our Charity Shop on the 14[th] of April 2021 after we had been forced to close it at Christmas 2020, due to the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions imposed at the time.

After a slow start, sales in the shop gradually improved and by the end of the year we appeared to be back on track.

The fundraising group arranged a Quiz Night and a Christmas Fair, both of which were very successful. The newly formed Walking Group, composing of cancer patients and volunteers, has gone from strength to strength and proves to be a very popular monthly event.

Volunteers

These are the most important resource and asset of our Charity, their dedication is second to none and they give of their time and much more. The board of trustees are also volunteers and their dedication and hard work in guiding and overseeing the charity is invaluable.

Financial Review

Our reserves policy is to hold 3 months of free reserve funds. We had a balance of £145,967 at the end of this financial year (compared to £115,955 in the previous year), with a surplus of £30,012.

The surplus in funds this year included a donation of £2,730.67 from “Oldham Cancer Support Centre” (registered charity number 1117993) by way of a donation, as shown in the financial statements and in the notes to the accounts, on note 4, page 10.

The Trustee’s Annual Report was approved by the Board of Trustee’s on the 12[th] of December 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF OLDHAM CANCER SUPPORT CENTRE CIO

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 as set out on pages 6 to 9.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:

Basis of Independent Examiners Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given by the Charity commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Independent Examiners Statement

I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2022.

I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
