~Back round
This report covers the penod from July 2021 to December 2022 because the chanly changed
its annual
reporting
time from midyear
to the end ofthe calendar year at
its board meeting
m November
2021.
The period on which wo are reporting
has been one ofrecovery from Ihe effects of the Covid epidemic and implementing
the changes
in strategic direction we
needed
to ensure the future
viability of the chanty, which included
restaning
most ofour face io face services, continuing
and developing
those services		 that could
continue
to bo effectively delivered
on line and moving some service away from the buildings
of the Royal Berkshire Hospital, while ensunng
that our excellent
rmationships
at ag staff levels in the hospital ere maintained.
Wc opened a new headquarters
office and troatment
centre
in Chervil, Reading, commissioned
a new centre at Ihe Deanwood
therapy centre in Newbury
and
continued
to offer acupuncture
services
in the College of Integrated
Chinese
Medicine
in Readmg
and in Ihe Royal Berkshire Healthspace
in Brackneg
During
the penod we successfully
added arts therapy to our services, through
collaboration
srith the Arts Therapy College in London and at the year-end		 we added
Reiki lo our portfolio of services
~Ob ectives
The objects of the chanty are 'For the public benefit, the relef and support of people
wifh a diagnosis
of cancer in Berkshire
and surrounds
and Iheir carers,		 and
where appropnate

Acttvilies
The principal
long term aim of the chadity,

ongoing
objectives
of the Trustees,
is now to offer complementary
Iherapies
to any patient
in Berkshire
who		 has
recently

viith cancer,
with
a 'face to face' service
and

an on-line
complementary
Iherapy
service
in Mindfulness

and to continue

appointed
a Lead Therapist
to manage
Ihe leadership
and governance
of our volunteer

With the support

consultants,
we are now more comfortable
that our administration

is satisfactory,
vsth trustees
informed

Led by the CEO and Trustees,
the service is deltvered
by managers
and volunteers
We continue
to work closely rwith the Royal Berkshire
Hospital,
Berkshire Cancer Centre, and other charibes ofrelevance
in the support ofcancer patients
and with Ihose organisations
that can help us to find and		 particularly
the
retain suffiaent
volunteers
to develop the service
~Fundraisin
Our fundraising
group, some members
of which have had some expedience
with cancer, either personally
or in their families, have continued
to work		 extremely hard
and have generated
enough
money,
together
with some very generous
donations
to ihe charity,
to fund
our planned
growth,
manage
the chaniy		 throughout the
constraints
ofthe pandemic
and increase our reserves
sufficiently
to be able to fund our services and their planned
growth
for the next two years
We		 owe them atl a
big debt for afi this very successful work.
Volunteers
The chanty
continues
to be supported
by aiifiing volunteers
in meeting
iis oblectives
and some of its administrative
activity and Ihe trustees
would		 like to take this
opponunity
lo say how much
they appreaate
their continuing
and valuable
support.
tndeed,
somo of them were heavily
involved
in the development		 of our on-line
services, despite
being unable
to eam their living
in their own practices,
due to lockdown
We owe them a real debt
The trustees
consider that no measurable		 value
can be placed on their contnbution
for the purpose
ofour accounts bul in practical terms, they are invaluable.
Achievements
and Performance
Our valuable
relationship,
with the Directors ofthe Royal Berkshire Hospital and the consultant
oncologlsts,
clinical nurse specialists,
management
and administrative
staff at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation
Trust, has been maintained,
with mutual
support being cadenced
on both sides.
We have teamed to manage
and maintain
those good relationships
Ihrough
various
staff changes
Ihat have occurred
in the Hospital. The Hospital Tmst continues
io
donate Ihe use ofrooms to deliver our services at the Bracknefi Healthspace
and to allow the charily lo maintain a communication
presence, for patients, at Ihe		 Royal
Berkshire hospital
The Trust also continues
to provide
training
of Ihe therapists
in Ihc NHS 'cancer pathway',
enabling
the MCMC services to be tailored
to patient need		 We now have
29 volunteer
therapists
and 0 volunteers
to meet and greet people who viish to access the service.
It is our obiective
to recruit 4 more therapists

greeters
