## **THE DORSET CANCER CARE FOUNDATION**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
The Board of Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016)
## **Objectives and activities**
Our aim is to provide help to the people of Dorset suffering with cancer in a very individual way to meet their immediate needs and to make life easier during a difficult period; Trustees believe that this satisfies the public benefit requirement of the Charity Commission.
This is achieved by the provision of non-repayable financial grants to individual Dorset based cancer sufferers to fund for example, temporary accommodation, transport, childcare, food, minor household modification, domestic help, specialised equipment such as wigs and sleeves, certain treatments and counselling, and other financial hardships caused by the cancer.
## **Achievements and performance**
This year we have run a full calendar of successful events to generate funds, received numerous grants and legacies and given financial awards from a full year of applications.
We have increased our visibility within the Dorset area by visits, radio and TV interviews and social media, and in 2025 we intend to focus more on this aspect to reach out to even more cancers patients.
For the first time we introduced the idea of pledges to raise money at our yearly Black Tie Gala and we are extremely grateful to two courageous young men who pledged to raise £10k by running seven marathons in seven days in March 2025 and by the end of 2024 they had raised £16k; given this success they have increased the pledge to £20k!
Other new events this year included a skydive which raised over £6,000 and karting which raised over £3,000.

## **Financial review**
## **Finances**
Our gross income in 2024 was £224k an increase over last year (2023 - £173k); our events raised £119k (2023 - £120k) from our annual Black-Tie Gala and from other DCCF organised and third-party events some via our sponsors. Donations and legacies were £102k (2023 - £52k); £23k from grants from other charities and we were fortunate to receive £61k from legacies.
- Our support costs – staff, office, PR, fund raising costs and governance – totalled £78k (2023 £65k) the increase being mainly driven by an additional part-time staff member. Fundraising costs were £50k (2023 - £45k).
This year, income exceeded expenditure by £50k (2023 - £11k). The difference is mainly due to the legacies we received.
- - We started the year with £149k (2023 £141k) in the bank and have finished the year with £210k (2023 £149k). The designated reserves fund was reviewed and set at £30k for 2024, whilst the remaining funds at year end were £171k; both funds are unrestricted.
## **Awards**
We had 115 applications during the year (2023 -142), and paid a total of £68k (2023 - £62k) to 73 applicants (2023 – 87); 47 awards were for bill payments followed by 13 for household items. The average award was £929 (2023 - £714) with a maximum of £3,000 and a minimum of £200.
Since the Charity began we have given 887 awards totalling £771k to individuals, other charities and the NHS.
## **Policy**
The Board of Trustees has 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.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **Structure, governance and management**
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006, incorporated on 19th December 2012 and registered as a charity on 11th April 2013. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
The Charity, a non-profit organisation, is overseen by a board of hands-on trustees and supportive patrons. The foundation raises income from running fundraising activities such as the charity dinner, auctions, raffles and sponsored events. The net profits are totally distributed in financial grants to deserving cancer sufferers and their families in the county of Dorset, keeping in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit with procedures designed to be effective at a reasonable cost.
The expenses of the Charity are kept to a minimum and controlled, expenditure includes one full time Charity Manager and two part-time administrators, insurance, wages, training, IT, website and PR; no Trustee, Ambassador or Volunteer is paid an income or receives expenses from the Charity.
Inducton and Training of New Trustees
The Charity has an induction and training procedure to be followed within a month of the appointment of a new Trustee and it is the responsibility of the Company Secretary to ensure this is completed. The Company Secretary conducts the induction meeting and ensures all necessary paperwork is provided to the Trustee and keeps a register of all induction proceedings.
It is recommended that the new Trustee reads three Charity Commission documents – Charity Trustee: What’s Involved, The Essential Trustee and The Governance Code for Smaller Charities.
The Board of Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
L M Harrison
C J Thomas E M Went M J Ponsford V M Szewczyk D Bird J Barbary
None of the Board of Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Board of Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

**THE DORSET CANCER CARE FOUNDATION**
_**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Dorset Cancer Care Foundation is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Discovery Court Business Centre, 551-553 Wallisdown Road, Poole, Dorset, BH12 5AG, United Kingdom.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Board of Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Board of Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Board of Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors 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 donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
## **1.4 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.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

## **THE DORSET CANCER CARE FOUNDATION**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
## **1.5 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 insettlement 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.
Expenditure is classified as follows:
- Costs of raising funds comprise all costs of selling souvenirs and sundry items together with the costs of staging specific events in the year.
- Costs with regards the charitable activity undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and its associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
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.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 25% Reducing balance Computers 25% Straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**

## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.10 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.11 Retirement benefits**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
