## **Trustees' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025:**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of It's On The Ball for the year ending 31 March 2025. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
## **Objectives and Activities:**
## **Policies and Objectives:**
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit. It's On The Ball's charitable objectives are:
- To promote and protect the physical and mental health of testicular cancer patients in East Anglia through the provision of support, education and practical advice to patients and their families.
- To advance the education of the general public in all areas relating to testicular cancer.
## **Activities for Achieving Objectives:**
It's On The Ball organises and attends wellbeing and health information events, as well as running campaigns to inform and raise awareness of testicular cancer, and provides support to sufferers of testicular cancer. It's On The Ball has developed informative yet friendly literature, a website to provide further information and contact details for those requiring further materials or support.
It's On The Ball provides support packs for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment designed to make a stay in hospital, or at home recovering, more comfortable, but also critically providing information about It's On The Ball and the opportunity to speak to someone who has been through similar treatment.

Achievements and Performance:
## **Review of Activities:**
## **a. Awareness:**
During the reporting period we delivered over 50 awareness sessions to an estimated audience of over 3650 people, at an approximate cost of £6,780 (£4,790 staff costs, £1,730 travel costs, £260 accommodation costs). This is a decrease in audience figures of 1000 over the previous reporting period. Overall cost of delivering awareness sessions has decreased by £1,000 due mainly to delivering fewer sessions. Cost per audience head has risen slightly to a little over £1.80 per head.
There has been an increase in the number of sessions delivered virtually to either overseas locations (e.g an English language school in Spain), and to multiple offices when delivering sessions to commercial organisations throughout the UK. It is also noted that there has been an increase in invites from commercial organisations as businesses become more aware of the benefits of staff welfare.
Our Testicular Cancer awareness resources including lesson plans and downloadable literature suitable for both mainstream schools and Special Educational Needs students are published on the Times Educational Supplement website (freely available to any school/college in the UK and overseas). These remain a popular resource and are being downloaded on average over 1000 times per year.
Whilst the number of awareness sessions delivered has decreased, the number of awareness packs (containing posters and information literature), sent out to individuals and organisations has increased. In this reporting period we have posted 75 awareness packs (50 packs in 2023/2024), at a total cost of approx £448 (pack contents: £319, Postage: £129). The majority of orders for awareness packs are received via the website, and the pack contents differ depending on the individual requests and have been sent to various locations nationwide.
Subscriber numbers to the text reminder service continue to grow. The donation of £4,754 from the Apollo Golf group will be put towards the cost of the text reminder service at the group's request.
4
The charity maintains a presence on social media including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for the majority of teenagers and young adults Tic-Toc is the social media platform of choice and we intend to investigate creating content for this particular platform which will generate a meaningful following . We will continue to monitor and review the usefulness of Tic-Toc as a worthwhile tool for encouraging self-examination amongst young men.
Following our attendance at the ‘Talking About Cancer Together’ event organised by Community Action Norfolk at the Forum in Norwich, it was felt it would be beneficial to hold a similar event on a weekend and encourage working age and family attendance. It is intended to organise a suitable event in the spring of 2025 in conjunction with the Star Throwers charity.
## **b. Fundraising:**
Our main fundraising event during the reporting period was the Charity Ball held in October 2024. The ball was billed as a celebration of being a registered charity for 10 years and had a winter theme. The evening was a great success and raised in excess of £10,000. Following the success of the event it was agreed to hold a similar event in the latter half of 2026.
During the reporting period the charity has been successful in obtaining the following funding grants:
- The Hospital Saturday Fund: £2,000 (Patient Support Packs).
- Wymondham Waitrose Community Matters, (John Lewis Partnership): £500 (Patient Support Packs).
- Suffolk Community Foundation (Cancer Community Partnership Fund): £2,626 (delivery of awareness sessions in Suffolk over 2 years).
The charity continues to receive donations from a variety of individuals and groups including a donation of over £2,000 raised as part of a sponsored parachute jump by the mother whose son was recently diagnosed and supported by the charity, and £4,754 from a golfing group who has a member currently receiving treatment for Testicular Cancer.
In combination these donations and grants have enabled the charity to continue to deliver its patient support services and awareness activities, and to maintain its financial stability.
5
The Trustees remain vigilant in monitoring the financial health of the charity, with the intention of continuing its patient support services as fully as possible. We continue to investigate alternative funding streams and apply for grants supporting specific projects, and core funding to ensure the aims of the charity are sustained.
## **c. Patient Support:**
Patient support activities have continued in the form of peer to peer ‘Buddy’ support and the distribution of support packs to patients receiving treatment for Testicular Cancer at participating hospitals.
During this reporting period there were no requests for Financial Support Grants. Whilst no requests were received the Trustees remain mindful that this form of patient support can be vital and frequency of requests is unpredictable. To that end an allowance is made in the budget forecast to cover potential support grant requests.
Our Support Packs are currently distributed to patients undergoing Testicular Cancer treatment at the Cambridge University Hospital (Addenbrookes), the James Paget, and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospitals. There has also been an increase in the number of packs distributed in this reporting period. 33 packs have been delivered (20 packs in 2023/2024), at an approximate total cost of £2,500 (£1,000 in 20223/2024).
The cost of support packs is steadily increasing due to the increased cost of purchasing the contents items. Support packs remain a vital part of our patent support activities and whilst it is considered that the benefit to patients is worthwhile, the trustees intend to investigate reducing the overall cost of the packs either by omitting some items (such as the £10 Amazon voucher), and seeking commercial sponsorship or donations of certain pack items (the antiseptic toothpaste samples are currently donated by amie! 2 —= ‘ee+) || . j | \ | ‘Oraleve’ toothpaste manufacturers).
Packs are distributed to patients by the Oncology nurses at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, Macmillan nurses at Addenbrookes, and Urology nurses at the James Paget Hospital. Without their assistance we could not operate the Patient Support Pack scheme and their involvement is
greatly appreciated. Our next target is to introduce the Support Packs for Testicular Cancer patients undergoing treatment at the Ipswich Hospital.

## **d. Other Activities:**
The Charity continues to liaise with the Testicular Cancer Support Group at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, to support patients from the East Anglia region who require treatment at St Barts.
The Charity is an existing and founder member of the Testicular Cancer Network (TCN).
The Charity is an active member of Cancer52 and attends various Cancer52 all member, and CEO meetings throughout the year.
The CEO represents the TCN member charities on the National Germ Cell Group (NGCG), and is a patient representative on the NGCG Conference organising committee, and NGCG Scientific Advisory Group.
Rose Chapman was successfully recruited in the role of Administration Assistant and commenced part-time employment on 01 June 2024.
During her recruitment interview Rose read a poem to the interview panel who felt the poem had a powerful message, and it was decided to produce a film featuring the poem for awareness/fundraising purposes. The film was showcased at the Charity Ball in October and subsequently nominated for the Smiley Charity Film awards, and the film was shortlisted as a finalist in its category. 4 members of the charity attended the film awards ceremony at the O2 Arena, and although it was not the , ye Be bf overall winner, the film has generated a lot of social media 5 engagement, and awareness of the charity. The film will continue to be used at future awareness talks/events.
The Website was updated at a cost of £1,000 + VAT. The new website has a much ‘cleaner’ and modern look. This is a one-off cost, and the website hosting costs remain relatively low. The majority of requests for Awareness Packs are received via the website, and a number of merchandise sales are received via the website.
The treasurer is to investigate changing our account to one held by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), which is well regarded in the charity sector. Cash can be paid in via Post Office or HSBC, and we will earn interest on funds in the account.

## **e. Summary:**
The trustees are confident that the majority of planned aims set in the 2023/2024 Trustees Report have been achieved in the main, although we are yet to implement the distribution of support packs at the Ipswich hospital.

## **Reserves Policy:**
The trustees are aiming to carry forward up to 12 months of budgeted expenditure as a buffer against income fluctuation and therefore to ensure services will continue. As at 31 March **.** 2024 the charity's unrestricted funds are £62,837

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**IT'S ON THE BALL**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
It's On The Ball meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **1.2 Going concern**
After considering the charity's financial commitments and the strength of its reserves, the trustees consider that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
## **1.3 Income**
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

**IT'S ON THE BALL**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **1.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is accounted for for on an accrual basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.
## **1.5 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
## **1.6 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **1.7 Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **1.8 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

**IT'S ON THE BALL**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **1.9 Financial instruments**
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **1.10 Pensions**
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
## **1.11 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
