The charity offers a range of wellbeing services to Guests (the service users) including counselling, complementary therapies, hair and skin advice, and a variety of social activities. ## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Now in its 12th year, The Pink Place continues to adapt to meet the needs of those experiencing cancer in North Hampshire . The impact of COVID isolation highlighted the importance of social interaction in supporting mental health, and the team have responded by offering opportunities to socialise and receive peer support. The Pink Place offers a place to meet others and gain practical advice and emotional support in a safe space. After an extensive search, the charity moved into accessible rented premises at The Orchard in June 2022. The charity began with a small office, a dedicated therapy room and an option for a larger room for wellbeing sessions. This has proved to be a financially safer and prudent option in uncertain times. The therapy room enabled the charity to offer a range of bookable complementary therapies, including reflexology and massage. Mindfulness classes continued and in late summer, weekly Yoga therapy classes were added. Through 2022 demand for wellbeing services increased, and through community links the Pink Place secured the use of a local Bowls Club to meet the need for larger weekly group sessions. With a growing reputation locally and stronger links with Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust, the charity has gone from strength to strength providing vital support to an increasing number of adults experiencing cancer. The ‘Pink Place extra’ group (for those Guests with stage 4 or secondary cancer) has seen a steady increase over this period with its dedicated monthly support and outings. The Alton provision continued twice monthly at The Maltings with the introduction of wellbeing activities including hand massage and Tai Chi for The Pink Place and The Blue Space guests. The Pink Place Cancer Charity provides wellbeing and support services for adults affected by cancer ## VOLUNTEERS The charity is so grateful to the growing team of volunteers, who’s loyalty, skills and commitment help deliver a wide range of services, increase awareness and support. ## FUNDRAISING COVID pandemic restrictions and the cost-of-living crisis continue to impact fundraising activities, particularly with in-person events. A successful Golf Day, a Sky Dive Challenge, Fashion Show and a Race Night all contributed to raising funds. The team had a presence at Basingstoke Festival of Transport and Basingstoke 10k and Half Marathon raising awareness as well as funds. The charity has needed to rely increasingly on donations and grants, including those from The National Lottery and The Postcode Lottery. Joining Basingstoke Community Lottery has also provided revenue. The charity was fortunate to be chosen as The Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane’s charity of the year from May 2022. This helped to raise funds and the profile of the charity in new areas of the community. ## STRUCTURE, MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE The charity is overseen by a small team of volunteer Trustees who meet monthly, or more often if required, and are in regular contact via email and telephone with the staff. The charity is supported and managed by 2 part-time and 1 full-time employees. This ensures the Charity has a stable and responsible resource to deliver its services. Employees manage day to day delivery of operations, services, and fundraising activities as well as building and maintaining strong relationships with the charity’s volunteers. Through regular review, consultation and feedback, the team plan and adapt services to address the changing needs of our Guests. The Pink Place is fully inclusive and welcomes all people, regardless of background, race, faith, gender, or personal circumstances. Further work has been carried out to improve the website to enable us to better support guests and publicise our activities and events. The Pink Place has in place appropriate insurances to protect operations, services, and special events. ## FINANCIAL REVIEW Despite the continued impact of the pandemic on the charity sector’s income sources, The Pink Place income has increased by £15,653 this year. Expenditure has increased by £21,750, mainly due to new rental and core costs. Income has come from a variety of sources, namely grants, fundraising initiatives, and corporate and private donations.
