The Board of Trustees are responsible for the recruitment and appointment of Trustees. The Board seeks to ensure that they have the requisite skills between them to run the charity. All potential trustees are interviewed by 2 existing trustees.
Trustee induction and training
Most new Trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the organisation. Trustees are recruited from the cancer patient community, the cancer research team and other interested people who can offer the necessary relevant skills. New Trustees are given a short, informal training session to familiarise themselves with the Charity, and the context within which it operates. This covers:
-
The obligations of Trustees.
-
The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity.
-
Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts.
-
Future plans and objectives.
Aims and objectives
The principal aims and objectives of the charity are as follows:
3
-
To advance the health of the public on a worldwide basis in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cancer through cancer immunotherapy research.
-
To raise funds to support immunotherapy research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of cancer in a world class clinical-based research centre at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Surrey.
-
To increase awareness of prostate, bladder, breast and other cancers among the general public.
-
To support the establishment of local cancer support groups.
Analysis of research funding shows that most funds are spent on basic research and understanding the causes of disease. Less is spent investigating prevention, diagnosis and treatment, which all define areas in which Immunology plays a huge role.
The aims and objectives are achieved at the lowest administrative cost possible and sets us apart from the other major charities operating in this sector. As a result, we are an entirely volunteer run charity with no paid members of staff.
Summary of public benefits
In planning our activities for the year, we have kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The objectives and achievements offer public benefit to all cancer patients. The charity focuses its investment in two main areas: immunotherapy research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of cancer using more targeted and less aggressive therapies, which has the widest impact, and setting up regional support groups which offer emotional and social support to cancer patients, partners, care givers and their families.
Immunotherapy Cancer Research
The UK is considered one of the world’s leaders in this branch of cancer research and the research team, located at the University of Surrey, is one of the main immunotherapy research teams with expertise in conducting clinical trials. One of the Topic of Cancer Charity's main goals is to support this team to provide multiple benefits. A consultant oncologist sits on the charity committee to advise on how best to use available funds. To this end we have provided funding for maintenance and repair of essential pieces of equipment and associated costs and assist funding the employment costs of specified staff as requested as well as contributing to the annual costs of the Surrey Cancer Research Institute.
Although we have not been able to carry out our usual face to face marketing because of the pandemic and lockdown, we have continued to raise the profile and awareness of cancer and immunotherapy research through networking, articles in local magazines, active use of social media and fundraising events. Topic of Cancer maintains a website with detailed information and has developed its social media links on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. We have continued to keep interested parties informed through regular newsletters. These have been well received. Visits to the research laboratories at the University of Surrey unfortunately have had to cease.

Local Cancer Support Groups
The charity had two support groups, ToC Together, which are accessible to anybody with a cancer experience or interest to offer emotional and social support to cancer patients, partners, care givers and their families. The Guildford Group took place at Turn Fit in Guildford Town Centre until March 2020 when lockdown made it impossible to continue face to face. Thereafter a What’s App group was formed as a means of support. Membership at the Bookham Support Group had been declining for some time and, at the Trustees meeting on 13[th] February 2020, a decision was made to close this group down with a view to reassessing at a later date. Our support groups are designed to provide emotional, educational, and social support for patients and their families through monthly meetings and occasionally there are guest speakers from science, medicine, entertainment, and complementary therapies and we hope to reinstate these as soon as regulations allow.
We also run ToC Fit exercise classes in Guildford three mornings a week for patients in treatment and recovery with specially trained instructors. These classes also had to cease in March 2020 but we have continued to run them on Zoom and have had a good response from members, many of whom were feeling isolated and frightened due to the pandemic.
We have a choir called ToC Voices, who rehearsed together weekly and these have continued on Zoom from March 2020. These virtual sessions have been very successful in continuing to give choir members the support they need. The choir were so enthusiastic that they took part in a Christmas Concert which raised considerable funds for the charity. We currently make no charge to our members for these services and fund them by seeking community grants and fund raising.
Annual accounts
Topic of Cancer’s accounts on an accrual basis which was adopted in 2018. There is no change to this accounting procedure.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and with the Charities Act 2011.
Investment policy
The charity aims to maintain enough funds in the current account to support our fundraising efforts, administrative costs and our three support groups. Any surplus funds are to be deposited in a fixed term deposit, typically of 3- or 6-month duration, to maximise the return on funds for future activities of the charity.
Review of progress, achievements, and future objectives
The purpose of this section of our report is to provide a clear summary of information about the activities of the Topic of Cancer. In particular, we review the progress against our objectives set for 2020, record achievements for the year and set objectives for next year.
Topic of Cancer has striven to achieve its goals in terms of fundraising and raising awareness of immunotherapy research but this became increasingly difficult from
5
March 2020 due to the pandemic and lockdown. We have been effective in converting funds we have managed to raise into benefits and have continued to make contact with other local charities and businesses both to fund raise and promote the charity.
We have tried to be innovative in organising fundraising events, most of which have had to take place on-line and we have become increasingly dependent on individual members to raise funds as all large organised events have not been possible. Fund raising has included a virtual quiz, the 2.6 Challenge, Kelly’s Challenge, My Prudential Ride London and The Drift Golf Day in September 2020 when regulations allowed. The total amount raised from fundraising events in the year is £9,447 and £1384 net from Trading Activities. The Tiverton Rotary Club continued to support our fund raising but events organised by the Surbiton Rotary Club and Wokingham Fireworks had to be cancelled. There was some income from funeral funds and birthday donations.
Notable funds raised.
| Haslemere Hounds | £300 |
|---|---|
| Virtual Quizzes | £1,375 |
| 2.6 Challenge | £1,800 |
| Kelly’s Challenge | £1,765 |
| Tiverton Rotary Club | £200 |
| My Prudential Ride London | £455 |
| The Drift Golf day | £1,397 |
| Choir Christmas Concert | £3,296 |
There were many smaller donations from companies, members and individuals
The majority of the money is used to purchase and service essential equipment for the research team and we have just completed the funding of a PhD student. There is an increasing need to fund consumables and we are assisting a further PhD programme as well as funding, maintaining, and updating the equipment needed to continue and extend the ground-breaking work of the research team. A small proportion of our income is used for the support, choir and fitness groups. A grant was obtained for the choir from Surrey Community Fund.
We had hoped to have stands at several public, corporate and private events such as the Surrey Business Expo, where we were the charity of choice, and Hampshire Business Expo, and several fetes, fairs and village days but all these activities were curtailed by the pandemic regulations.
Our Patient Support Groups have continued virtually to the great benefit of all the members. Support has been so important to everyone during a very difficult time for those who are undergoing treatment for or recovering from cancer and who may be very isolated and frightened. The fitness groups have been essential to those who are vulnerable and may not have been able to leave their homes and the benefits psychologically and physically of singing have been well documented. We are so grateful to those leaders who have worked hard to make sure that these groups
6
continue. Some of the funding of the choir has been provided by Surrey Community Foundation and their own Christmas Concert.
We maintain a website for interested parties to be informed of our activities and to receive information about our work. It also provides on-line and downloadable versions of the literature that we produce and information about the support services we provide, as well as videos of the scientists explaining their research. It is regularly updated and we appreciate the work of Ambassador Steve Lawrance who manages and designs the website with great skill and dedication. Steve is also responsible for the information leaflet and banner design. We are active users of social media and have a strong following on Facebook and Twitter. We have produced regular Newsletters to keep our supporters updated on current research and events.
In June 2020, Topic of Cancer was delighted to be awarded “Cancer Immunotherapy Support Charity of the Year 2020” by the UK Enterprise Board.
We intend to extend our fund-raising next year by recruiting a trustee who has particular experience in this field. We also intend to reinstate the Purple Ball, regulations allowing, and this is always a big fund raiser. We are building on increasing the number of fitness classes and will restart the Support Group on a face to face basis hopefully in collaboration with some other cancer charities in the local area. The choir is thriving and we have several new members. The continuing attendance of members at all our groups, despite the challenges of the pandemic, only goes to demonstrate the importance to them.
We have been able to meet our aims both in support for the immunotherapy research group at the University of Surrey and encouraging and supporting the establishment of patient support groups although we hope to expand the latter even further as the charity becomes more established and expands.
Immunotherapy report
The report is submitted by the team at the University and reflects their work in the year. It is included as we have been, and are, ongoing funding supporters to the team. We have no direct management of the group, which lies, within the University. The groups’ activities have been reported to the charity at meetings during the year.
At their February 2020 meeting, the trustees received a report from Charles Rayner, a Consultant in Upper Gastro-intestinal Surgery based with Professor Pandha’s research team, carrying out a PhD. He reported outcomes from oesophageal cancer are extremely poor, with five-year survival rates of around 15% due to the high proportion of patients presenting with metastatic disease. He is looking to improve our understanding of why the immune reaction has been disappointing in oesophageal cancer and how we can improve these results. Mr Rayner has a Fellowship which covers his salary and consumables, but there is a shortfall of £4.5k and requested whether ToC would cover this. The Trustees agreed to this proposal.
In March 2020, due to the pandemic and lockdown, the Labs were closed and support staff were furloughed by the University. Senior scientists were covered by recent grants which were honoured by the grant awarding bodies. Weekly lab meetings were held via Microsoft Teams. Professor Pandha offered the labs to the
7
NHS for anything that would help with COVID19 testing and he joined the clinical teams in the Hospital Trust, working on the COVID19 wards. Research trials team were redeployed to work on COVID19 trials
By June 2020, the Labs were starting to open and clinical trials were slowly restarting. The program continued under the senior scientists (Nicola Annels and Mick Denyer) who were working on two projects. The first is examining T cell infiltrating various stages of kidney cancer and determined how these T cells in this environment are metabolically dysfunctional, and how to reverse this. The second project is around a new type of immunotherapy called a huma-body working with a company (Crescendo in Cambridge), which is forming the basis of an immunotherapy trial will be conducted at Surrey next year.
The Team have also made good progress with an important project looking at the immune function in long-term cancer survivors in Continuum Project. This has now resulted in recruitment of 12 patients and commencement of the scientific program including evaluation of blood from of these individuals. They will continue looking at the original cancer tissue and evidence of immune dysfunction in that using our inhouse Vectra Polaris technology.
Review of financial activities
During the year the charity received income totalling £48,001. This figure is made up of £34,192 from grants and donations, £9.447 from charitable activities, £4,197 from Trading Activities and £165 from bank interest. Income for the year shows a considerable reduction of £35,596 (43%) from the income during the previous year. The accounts show that receipts from grants and donations fell by £38,818, receipts from fundraising events only fell by £397 whilst receipts from trading activities rose by £4,172 (brought about by having a Golf day in September).
During the year the charity spent a total of £83,451 meeting all of its 2020 commitments to the University of Surrey (£69,337) and to its Support Community (£11,552). The charity also spent £1,272 on the costs of fundraising (including £2,800 on the September Golf Day). The cost of fundraising has been partly offset by a credit note of £2,160 which has not yet been utilised and has, therefore, been carried forward to 2021. The balance on expenditure of £1,290 was spent on insurance, publicity and administration and the write off of stock. The total spent shows a decrease of £16,284 (16%) on that spent in 2019. This decrease was primarily as a result of a reduction in grants to Surrey University (£12,155), a reduction in fund raising costs (£2,783) and a reduction in charitable activities (£2,000)
The primary trading activity for the year was the Golf Day (mentioned in the above paragraphs), which brought in a net surplus of £1,384. Income from ticket sales, sponsorship and challenges on the day equated to £4,184, whilst expenditure on the hire of the golf course and finance processing fees equated to £2,800.
At year end the charity had a surplus of £42,841, a decrease of £35,450 (45%) on the balance at the end of 2019. This balance is unrestricted and will be carried forward to 2021 to continue with the funding of research and running its support groups.

Post balance sheet events
The continuing prevalence of Covid will greatly reduce the opportunities for fund raising. However, it is anticipated that as the year progresses the fund raising will increase. The Purple Ball that was postponed from 2019 will not now happen until the spring of 2022. This will have a major effect on finances as it is the major fund raising activity of the year.
Reserves policy
The Trustees aim to keep cash reserves covering six months support expenditure of approximately £7,000. Any reserves over and above that are available to give as grants.
Organisational structure
The Trustees undertake the day to day running of the charity, all of which occurs on a voluntary basis. The Trustees are also responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity and meet as regularly as necessary.
The Trustees have been very active in meeting the new GDPR regulations and the charity's Privacy Policy was updated and is available on the website Details on how to access the Policy can be found on charity literature. On 13[th] February 2020 the Trustees approved a new Safe-guarding policy.
Risk
The major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been reviewed and systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks.
Trustees Responsibility in respect of Financial Statements
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the charity's affairs; the Balance Sheet, the incoming resources and application of funds and the income and expenditure for the financial period. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
-
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
-
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity, enabling them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
9
Going Concern
The Trustees have considered what, if any, material uncertainties could affect the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months.
Cancellation of the Purple Ball and other fundraising events caused by the Covid pandemic are problematic because the Charity relies on this income to pay grants and overheads.
Reserves at 31st December 2020 were £42,841 and, while this is lower than in previous years, commitments to pay future grants and overheads were lower than this. The Charity does not employ any staff and overheads are kept to the absolute minimum. At no time would the trustees commit to future expenditure that exceeded reserves.
As we emerge from the pandemic, the trustees hope to see income returning to previous levels, resulting in spending on charitable objects increasing as well. However, spending levels will be dictated by income received and reserves at all times.
On these assumptions, there is no reason to believe that the Charity will not continue as a going concern for the next twelve months at least.
