Achievements and performance
This year has been a special year for the Centre.
A charity that achieves 20 years, demonstrates how committed staff, volunteers, supporters and
trustees have been. Well done and a big thank you to them all.
The years have not been without their trials, but through everything the Bury Cancer Support Team
have made it work.
The 20th Year captured the public imagination and all the events were well supported raising money
to support the excellent work carried out by the centre.
The centre is back to full operation and that ha5 been achieved by the excellent leading of the team
byJan Katana Imanagerl.
The Centre has had a marked increase of patients since covid .The team are working extremely hard
to ensure all patient5 are seen and supported.
As our Treasurer, Jan Pearce-Langton has noted the challenge of raising funds never goes away and
we will be very sad to lose ourTrea5urer as she retires in November 2024.
Although there are still pressures on the Centre,. the team will ensure our 21st year is as successful
as our 20th year.

Financial review
Bury Cancer Support Centre has now moved into its 21st year and as such it is a time to reflect
proudly on the Centre's achievements. The 20th anniversary year gathered financial momentum, the
imagination of supporters was embraced and the Centre's profile was raised.
Under the tireless dedication and versatility of Centre Manager, Jan Katana, the team have
consistently worked together alongside strong Chairmanship/Leadership.
Challenges may need to be faced in the coming year as the Centre is in a period of adjustment with
both new financial systems being put in place and a change of Leadership structure, Staff &
Volunteers. This includes my resignation from the role of Treasurer,
As a Team, we can be proud that the Centre's fragility has been protected. Moving forward financial
aims should be realistic. It is important that all financial decisions are prioritised and are
manageable. fime spent, the work involved and the resulting value to the Centre should all be
considered.
Acknowledgement and thanks are extended to Nancy who professionally produced the first Six
months Accounts for the year, The monthly Accounts are now being input on Xero and it is hoped
that this will prove to work as an efficient generic system,
I have always maintained the vital importance of regular income from background systems that are
already in place. Two of which are Gift Aid and BCSC Lottery.
Gift Aid is significant income for the Centre. Raising awareness and understanding the huge potential
of the financial benefit to the Centre should not be underestimated.
The Lottery is in the process of being rolled out to the public. I believe this is another source of
regular funding and should be actively promoted.
The Centre is dependent on the dedication of all involved and new contacts will in turn bring fresh
ideas and enable new opportunities to be explored. The key is to maintain financial reserves. This 15
a consequential ongoing challenge in the present economic climate.
It is important to be prepared that the financial future for the Centre could be demanding and
competitive. Brave decisions may have to be made and it is imperative that finances are closely
monitored. Prudent spending should always be observed, and new opportunities be grasped.

BURY CANCER SUPPORT CENTRE
TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED)
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Independent fundraising, including individual Just Giving pages, should be encouraged and corporate
Systems, including Matched Funding initiatives, are a valuable income for the Centre. Applying for
funding by a bid process and fundraising events organised by the Centre (which a150 raises profile)
should be concentrated on but measured as to the Centre's manpower resources.
The unrivalled ethos model of the Centre, the strong work ethic of the team and the involvement of
both existing/new supporters will help ensure Bury Cancer Support Centre strives to reach its goals
and that the Centre's future is secured.

Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The charity's governing document is a Constitution adopted on 8th December 2003, as amended on
6th July 2004 and 24th February 2009. This was replaced by a Constitution of a Charitable
Incorporated Organisation on 14th February 2014.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and
liquidity risk.
The charity is reliant on continuing cash inflows from donations to ensure there are sufficient funds
available for ongoing operations and future developments.
The charity's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash. The credit risk on these liquid
funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by
international credit-rating agencies.
