Rotherham Cancer Care Centre
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
EXEMPTIONS
The trustees have taken advantage of the exemptions available to small companies, including the audit exemption (see statement on balance sheet).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The charities objectives are:-
The relief of sickness and need, the preservation of health for sufferers of all forms of cancer and other life-threatening diseases and their families and carers in the Rotherham area through the provision of a support centre offering information, professional counselling, and complementary therapies.
Rotherham Cancer Care Centre (RCCC) was founded in 2004 being part of The Cavendish Centre, a charity based in Sheffield. In April 2012 RCCC established itself as an independent charity and was incorporated in November 2012. The Board of Trustees took this decision to establish RCCC as a separate charity to be able to better the needs of people living in and around the Rotherham area.
The Charity's objectives are primarily met by the provision of one-to-one assessment and therapy to individuals affected by cancer. Most of this activity takes place at our Rotherham Centre premises.
The day-to-day operation of RCCC is the responsibility of one administrator. The Centre makes full use of volunteers. Volunteers work in several teams including Fundraising, Treasurer, and reception duties. To manage larger fundraising events, volunteer committees are formed to facilitate and control the projects.
The Board of Trustees meet monthly and receive reports on the cumulative Cash Flow movements in the financial year, together with a monthly forecast for the remaining periods of the year. Information is also circulated on Fundraising activities, client numbers and other strategic and policy matters.
In conducting their business and undertaking these activities the Trustees have considered, and are confident that they have complied with, the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The financial year ended 31 March 2025 was a better year for the charity seeing a strong growth in donations and a surplus for the year compared to the previous year. Fundraising is back to pre-Covid levels and thanks to donations and in-house fundraising the financial position of the Charity has stabilised. Several grants were received and due to the increased activity, overall funds increased and the charity is in a sound financial position.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The results for the year are set out in the financial statements on pages 5-13. The Statement of Financial Activities shows total income for the financial year of £78,480 compared to £138,035 in the previous year.
Expenses for the financial year were £76,859 (2024: £150,219).
Grants/donations of £Nil (2024: £2,500) were received during the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Board of Trustees recognise that there is a need to hold financial reserves as only a small percentage of its anticipated annual income is in the form of definite or regular funding. Rotherham Cancer Care have established a reserves policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible assets held by the charity should be three to six months of the resources expended in general funds. At that level the committee feel that they would be able to maintain the quality of the services provided. The unrestricted reserves held on 31 March 2025 are £26,678 which is over 3 months running costs and within the acceptable level.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
We have now resumed a full programme of fund-raising activities and grant applications in order to fund a full range of services to Rotherham residents, and also are developing the service to ensure we are meeting the needs of the people who need us.
The service based at Badsley Moor Lane, Clifton continues at a steady pace and runs at near full capacity over the two days the centre is open to patients.
The centre is closely involved with the MacMillan 'Living with and Beyond Cancer' project and the newly formed MacMillan Advocacy Service which will aim to assess the needs of patients at a much earlier stage following diagnosis and be able to sign post to the relevant organisations.
We aim to continue to offer an excellent quality of service for Rotherham residents, but also develop the service to ensure we are meeting the needs of the people who need us. All clients are encouraged to complete a feedback form as well as having a final assessment by one of our Assessors at the end of every course of treatment. This feedback is discussed at regular meetings of Admin Staff, Assessors, Therapists and Trustees to identify any unmet needs and possibilities for further development of services. This has resulted in a decision by the Trustees to commence a new service of Auricular Acupuncture.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30 November 2012, and registered as a charity on 6 February 2013. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under the Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute £10 only.
Overall management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are appointed under the terms of the governing document.
Appointment of Directors and membership
At the Annual General Meeting one third of the Directors, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to one third, must retire from office. If there is only one Director, he or she must retire. The Directors to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office.
Financial risk management
As with many voluntary groups the major risk likely to affect future performance is that of finance to support the activities offered. Funding bids are submitted to possible funders but with competition from other groups or funders who wish to fund specific areas of work, funding is limited.
