What We Do

Raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of testicular cancer, actively promoting the benefits of early detection and encouraging boys and men to visit their GP if they detect any of the signs or symptoms.

Deliver engaging awareness talks and showcase awareness exhibitions/stands in public and corporate places, handing out self-help materials such as leaflets, posters and step-by-step checking cards.

Provide financial and peer support to boys and men who have been directly affected by testicular cancer via telephone, email, social media and peer support groups.

What difference do we make?

Policy

Charity reserve: The charity aims to hold 3 months of running costs as a reserve. Currently, all income is invested in our continuous efforts to provide support and educate males on testicular cancer.

Charity expenditure: Cash expenditure supports our key objectives and so the cash that we spend must contribute to providing support to males that have been diagnosed and raising awareness of testicular cancer; this includes all our fundraising, events, activities and charity development.

Equality: We believe in equality in treatment and opportunity regardless of age, sex, religion, culture or colour of skin.

Founding principle: Irrespective of race, religion, age or ability, our founding principle is to educate every person, regarding testicular cancer.

Complaints policy: The Senior Management Team will deal with complaints in the first instance. If this fails to reach a resolution, the board will be advised, and the Chairperson will take over the complaint, where necessary legal advice will be sought.

Registered status: Baggy Trousers UK is a registered charity in England and Wales. Charity number: 1160724.

Trustees’ Annual Report

Successful Partnerships and Achievements

This year, we marked a significant milestone for our organisation, thanks to the collaborative efforts with Robinsons Brewery and the Tim Bacon Foundation. We successfully attained our goal of providing therapy sessions for individuals affected by testicular cancer.

This initiative funded 192 one-hour therapy sessions, directly benefiting 32 individuals. Our heartfelt gratitude extends to Robinsons Brewery and the Tim Bacon Foundation for turning a long-term aspiration into a tangible reality.

Challenges and Operational Adjustments

Despite our success in service delivery and awareness campaigns, we faced considerable challenges in fundraising. These financial constraints led to the difficult decision of making our part-time Admin Assistant and Marketing Assistant positions redundant.

The fundraising difficulties also impacted our ability to organise large-scale events comparable to those held pre-pandemic. In response, the trustees reaffirmed our commitment to a managed growth strategy, focusing on balancing incoming funds with expenditures while maximising our impact.

Outreach and Community Engagement

Our outreach efforts were robust, with numerous awareness talks delivered to various companies, both in-person and virtually. Our commitment to providing email and telephone support for those affected by testicular cancer remained steadfast.

We express our sincere appreciation to the individuals and businesses who continued their support this year. Their contributions, encompassing fundraising efforts and donations, were instrumental in advancing our mission.

Public Benefit Through Our Activities

Our digital presence was strengthened through online campaigns and the creation of additional digital resources. These materials, targeted at schools, colleges, universities, and businesses, played a crucial role in raising awareness about testicular cancer, emphasising the importance of regular self-examinations and recognising symptoms.

Thanks to Robinsons Brewery's support, we could fund 192 therapy sessions, offering a crucial support system to those impacted by testicular cancer.

Our online support services, including Zoom sessions, telephone, and email communications, reached approximately 47 individuals, significantly enhancing their mental health and well-being.

Service Utilisation and Impact

Our efforts resonated particularly in Northwest England, where students from various schools and colleges actively engaged with our awareness campaigns and virtual talks. Our collaboration with the public sector and businesses throughout England and Wales also saw considerable engagement.

The support services we offer have been a vital lifeline for many individuals impacted by testicular cancer, providing them with much-needed assistance and comfort.

Gratitude and Acknowledgment

As we reflect on this year, we are immensely thankful for the support we've received – time, skills, financial contributions and assistance in our daily operations.

Every form of support has been invaluable in our journey to make a difference in the lives of those impacted by testicular cancer.
