Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of 1 year by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
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 marked the second and final year of our funded therapy programme, made possible by The National Lottery Community Fund, Awards for All. We delivered 192 one-hour therapy sessions across the year — completing the full commitment of the £19,620 award and ensuring that people affected by testicular cancer continued to have access to professional support throughout.
In May 2025, The Martins family from the TLJ Group organised a charity golf day, with Baggy Trousers UK as one of the benefitting charities. It was a fantastic day, we were made to feel incredibly welcome, and together they raised an incredible £4,068.80. Combined with the generous £5,000 donation the TLJ Group made in December 2024, their total support comes to £9,068.80. That kind of backing from people who believe in what we do means a great deal.
MANvFAT St Helens reached out to us in January 2026 asking if we would be their chosen charity for an upcoming 24-hour football event taking place over the May bank holiday. We were delighted they chose to support us, and we look forward to taking part in what promises to be a memorable occasion.
Challenges and Operational Adjustments
With the National Lottery funding coming to an end in April 2026, securing funding to sustain this service going forward will be one of our priorities in the year ahead. We are also undertaking a full redesign of our website, the current one has served us well for ten years, but it is time for something that better reflects who we are now and makes it easier for people to find the support and information they need.
Outreach and Community Engagement
Outreach and awareness work continued throughout the year. We delivered talks and engagement sessions in schools, colleges, and workplaces, and maintained our online presence through campaigns and social media. The MANvFAT partnership is a great example of the kind of community connections we are building, organisations that share our belief that talking about health openly saves lives.
Phone and email support remained available to anyone who needed it throughout the year.

Public Benefit Through Our Activities
Completing 192 funded therapy sessions across the year is something we are proud of. Over the two years of the National Lottery programme, hundreds of hours of professional support have been given to people who needed it, people who, without this funding, may not have been able to access it.
Our new website, due to launch in June 2026, will make it easier than ever for people to find answers and access the resources they need directly, without having to wait or search around. It is one of the most tangible improvements we can make to the way we support people.
Service Utilisation and Impact
Across all our services this year, we continued to be there for people going through a testicular cancer diagnosis or supporting someone who was. The volume of people reaching out has not eased, and it is a constant reminder of why this work matters. Every conversation, every session, every email counts.
Gratitude and Acknowledgment
Our sincere thanks go to The National Lottery Community Fund, Awards for All, for two years of funding that have made a genuine difference to real people's lives. Thank you also to The Martins family (TLJ Group) their generosity and support has been extraordinary, and the golf day in May was a highlight of the year.
To MANvFAT St Helens, thank you for choosing us. We cannot wait for the event.
And to everyone who has supported Baggy Trousers UK this year in any way, thank you. None of it goes unnoticed.
