Trustees. Report For The Year Ended 30 November 2024
The trustees present their report and the flnancial ststements for the year ended 30 November 2024.
Objectives and Actlvlties
Alms and ObJectlveJ
Objects and aims
Publlc benefit
The principal object of the charlty is the promotlon of research into the constitutiDll and pathology of the pancreas {with
partlcular reference to CBncer of the pancreas) and into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of disease of the pancreas on
term5 that results of such research are publlshed.
The charity's aim is to improve the horrendously low sutvival rate of pancreatic cancer patients through funding and
promoting the best independent research throughout the UK.
The charity achleves thi5 through grant making.
The trustees confirm that they have cornplled with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due
regard to the public beneflt guidance published by the Charity Commlssion for England and Wales.
Achlevements and Performance
Charltable Activities
Revlew of Charitable Activltles undertaken
As the charity has a very small admini5tratlve set-upi the Tnjstees made the decislon to scale back the work of the charity
in the light of the Chief Executlve's plan5 for future retirement. Options were explored concerning the future of the charity.
Whlle active fundralslng through event5 will cease and no new grant5 wlll be awarded, the charity's reserves will enable the
fundlng of the current research commitments, Including the development of the PCRF Tissue Bank. The Chief Executive will
continue on a part-tlme basis to administer these commitments.
In communicating these plans to SUPPOrters, the Trustees were keen to also offer a future way they could support the
pancreatlc cancer cause If they wished. As the charlty Pancreatic Cancer UK {PCUK) had added funding research to its
remit of patient support and infomiation some years earlier, and was announcing Its new 5-year research strategy to
increase Investment in research each year, Trustees agreed to encourage the supporters to give their future support to
PCUK. Discu55ion5 were held with PCUK'S Chief Executive to agree the messaging to PCRF supporter5 about the changes
and the ways to contact PCUK.
Researth Awards
No awards were made for new research projects, but the following grants were awarded for ongolng commitments..
l.One-year cost extenslon for the prDJect 'The integrin ovP6 drives PDAC metsstasis: mechanisms and therapeutic insights,
£98,213
Professor John Marshall, Queen Mary Unlverslty of London
1.7.2025 - 30.6.26
2.Three-year awzrd for the contlnued support and development of the PCRF Tlssue Bank (See below).
2025: £558,575.07
2026: £616,261.15
2027: £627,642.16
The PCRF Tissue Bank
Applications fDr samples have been widened and now scientists from universitles, research institutes, blotechnology and
phamiaceutical companies all over the world are able to apply for tissue samples from the PCRF-funded pancreas t15sue
bank to help thelr research into improving the diagnosi5 and treatment of pancreas cancer.
The Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tlssue Bank [pcR￿B). which launched in 2016, aimed to solve the research
challenge of high quallty pancreas tumour sample5 being so scarce In the UK, The longer term ambition was to widen the
scope of who could request samples, but thi5 was dependent on sufficient sample number5 being colletted. This milestone
has now been reached, with over 10,500 pieces of pancreatic tumour and normal pancreas tissue donated and stored,
along with other blological m8terials such as plasma and serum (both products derlved from blood samples), urine and
sallva all of whlch are valuable for research.
The Tissue Bank has a 5rnall CDre staff based at Barts Cancer Instltute, London, who liaise with the partner hospita15 whlch
are contributing sample5. These are in Londoh, Lelcester, Southampton, Oxford and Newcastle upon Tyne. Derriford
Hospital of the University Hospltals Plymouth NHS Trust has recently joined as a partner hospltal.

Trustees. Report (continued)
For The Year Ended 30 November 2024
Charltable Actlvltles - contlnued
Each of the partner hospitals has a dedlcated Tissue Collection Officer (TCO) partly funded by the charity, and the
international expansion is in large part thanks to their work. TCOS discus5 tissue donation with relevant surgical patients to
obtain their consent for their removed tissue to be stored. They also ensure that the samples are processed to strict
protocols and gather some 300 pieces of data about the patient, their medical history and treatment to date, all of which is
key to the samples being such high value for research.
In addition, special technique5 produce additionèl resources called 'patient-derived tissue sample5'. such as 'organoids'.
These are patients, tumour cells that have been specially nurtured to grow into tiny 3-D structures. Very difficult to
produce, and highly valuable for research, they enable much more accurate insight into the disease and how PDtential
treatments might work in the body than traditional 2-dimension31 cell lines allow.
To demonstrate and promote the quality of the Tissue Bank'5 safflple5 and data, the team will be applying for 150
certification. This involves a rigorous process of assefjsment by UKAS. the National Accreditation Body for the United
Kingdom.
Approach to fundralslng ad Communicjtions
Approach to Fundrai$ing
The charity doe5 not utili5e door-to-door, prlvate site or street fundraising. Nor does it employ professional fundraisers or
commercial participators. Its main fundraising 50vrces are through in memory donations, indivldual giving and legacies.
The charity 15 not registered with the Fundralsing Regulator, as the levy Is voluntary. As in previou5 years, no fundralsSng
complaints were received in thls flnanclal year. The charity recognlses the Code of Fundraising Practice and Is slgned up to
the Fundraising Preference Service.
Communications
We are keen to inform supporters about the research their donations are fundlng and what they are achieving. We
continue, therefore, to show the detsils of all past, present and new PCRF-funded projects on our web51te, together wlth
news of outcomes and developments from the research.
Financial Rèvlew
Reserves Policy
Policy on reserves
The trustees have agreed that research awards wlll only be offered If the full cost of the award is already available in the
charity's funds. This will minimise risk and ensure continuity for each research projert should the charity's income be
dramatically reduced. Reserves. therefore, cover the full cost of awards allocated in each annual award round.
Risk Management
Major risks and management of those ri$ks
Risk5
The Trustees have assessed the major risk5 to which the company is exposed. in particular those related to the operations
and finances of the company, and are satisfied that 5y5tetn5 and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the
major risks.
Future Developments
Plans for the future
The charity will aim to continue to successfully deliver on Its charitable objectives, funding and promoting world-cla55
research into defeating pancreatic cancer. The focu5 of these will be..
the funding of current project grant commitments through to concluslon.
the guaranteed funding of the PCRF TIs5ue Bank untll at least end 2027.
reviewing progress of the fissue Bank towards self-sustainability and explorlng possible alternative source5 of funding for
the longer term.
