## **Organisation**
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the administration of the charity. The day-to-day running of the organisation is led predominantly by the CEO, who is the founder of the charity. Supporting the Trustees is an ever-growing number of volunteers who undertake various roles in the charity’s regular activities. Current Board members are located throughout Cheshire and Merseyside and meet on a quarterly basis, where decisions are made. This year, these meetings have taken place face-to-face at various locations. Occasionally, decisions have been made via group emails, where a discussion has taken place and a decision have been agreed by all Trustees.
## **Risk Management**
The financial risk is very low however, as funding and fundraising continues to be a number one priority. This ensures the charity continues to deliver activities as set out in the constitution. The charity has:
- Public Liability Insurance
- Employers Liability Insurance
- Professional Indemnity Insurance
These are all at appropriate levels of cover for this stage of the charity’s development.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The principle, activity of the charity is the relief of isolation and loneliness, and the preservation and protection of the health of men, women and their families who are affected by a cancer diagnosis by the provision of support, information and advice to help improve their overall health and recovery.
## **Achievements, Performance and Demonstration of Public Benefit**
During the reporting period, the charity has continued to demonstrate strong performance and clear public benefit through the growth, reach and impact of its services.
We successfully celebrated our 10[th] year as a charity, marking a decade of delivering vital support to individuals affected by cancer across our community.
Our men’s support group has continued to grow, addressing an identified gap in cancer support provision and reducing isolation among male service users.
Funding from the ‘Know Your Neighbourhood’ grant enabled us to sustain our art and craft clubs, which remain a core asset of our provision and play a crucial role in reducing loneliness, improving mental wellbeing and fostering peer connection.
We were also awarded two grants from ‘The Arconic Foundation’, allowing us to expand our impact beyond direct service users. One grant supported the delivery of educational workplace training, equipping staff members with the knowledge and confidence to better support colleagues affected by cancer. The second grant enabled the launch of our new ‘Warrior Way’ project, which will start in 2026. This will offer service users structured lifestyle support through nutrition guidance, gentle exercise and wellbeing workshops.
Funding from the ‘Coalfields Regeneration Trust’ allowed us to host the first-ever Cancer Care Conference in the Northwest, held at the Mercure Hotel in St Helens. The event brought together cancer support organisations, healthcare partners and community stakeholders, and included the attendance of the NHS Cervical Screening Bus, which reported significant success and attended a community event of this kind for the first time. The Mayor of St Helens also attended, highlighting the conference’s regional importance and its contribution to improved awareness, early intervention and collaborative cancer support.
In addition to these milestones, the charity has continued to deliver significant public benefit through the consistent delivery and development of its core services. Weekly support sessions remained central to our provision, offering accessible peer support, creative wellbeing activities, gentle movement and confidence-building opportunities for individuals living with and beyond cancer.

## SAM'S DIAMONDS
## Trustees' report continued
The charity maintained a strong focus on reducing loneliness and improving mental wellbeing by providing safe, positive and non-judgemental spaces where individuals can connect with others who share lived experience.
Our volunteer programme continued to thrive, with many volunteers bringing personal experience of cancer and benefiting themselves through increased confidence, skills development, routing and a renewed sense of purpose.
Throughout the year, we strengthened partnerships with local authorities, NHS services, community/charitable organisations and other cancer charities, improving referral pathways, collaboration and awareness of early intervention and ongoing support.
The charity also demonstrated organisational maturity and sustainability through the successful management of complex projects, the expansion of training and education programmes, and the ongoing use of serviceuser feedback to shape and adapt services, ensuring they remain responsive, effective and firmly focused on delivering measurable benefit to the communities we serve.
The main focus of the charity during these past 12 months have been:
- Develop our activities and opportunities to meet the needs of the ever-changing needs of our service users
- Promoting and increasing the public profile of the charity, both online and in the community, by
- developing more community activities
- Raising much needed funds to sustain the charity’s ability to operate
- Continuing to support our service users, with a personal service, to gain self-confidence to continue
- positively with their lives
Our service users continued to inspire and motivate one another, fostering a strong, peer-led culture of positivity, resilience and mutual support throughout their cancer journeys. Members actively engaged in shared experiences that strengthened social connections, reduced isolation and reinforced a collective sense of empowerment in the face of cancer. The demographic reach of the group continued to broaden, reflecting increasing demand from individuals of varying ages who are motivated to remain active, informed and proactive during and beyond treatment. Through a programme of structured activities and workshops, service users were supported to regain a sense of control, adopt healthier lifestyle behaviours and develop a more confident and positive mindset. This approach not only supports emotional wellbeing but also contributes to improved long-term health outcomes and a reduced risk of recurrence, demonstrating clear and ongoing public benefit.

## **Impact Assessment – Sam’s Diamonds**
## **1. Strategic Context**
Sam’s Diamonds operates within the framework of:
**One Halton Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2022–2027),** which prioritises:
- Reducing health inequalities
- Supporting mental wellbeing
- Enabling people to live independently and age well.
## **Halton’s Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA),** which highlights:
- High cancer mortality rates
- Significant health inequalities, with life expectancy gaps of up to 11.7 years between the most and
- least deprived areas
- An ageing population, increasing demand for long-term and palliative care.
(The **Joint Strategic Needs Assessment** is the process through which our local authority assesses the current and future health, care and wellbeing needs of the local population. Assessing the needs of the population involves: characterising the health and wellbeing status of the local population and identifying inequalities.)
## **2. Services Delivered by Sam’s Diamonds Cancer Support**
- Emotional and psychological support (signposting, peer groups, annual getaways/retreats)
- Online and Face 2 face holistic therapies (relaxation sessions, meditations, sleep workshops)
- Carer support – signposting, family events, respite via our Diamond retreats

## SAM'S DIAMONDS
## Trustees' report continued
## **3. Addressing Identified Needs**
These services directly respond to priorities highlighted within the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA), specifically by providing:
Early intervention that helps reduce pressure on primary and acute care services Community-based mental health support in various areas across the NW Targeted support activities and involvement for families of our service users
## **Outcomes and Benefits**
Robust quantitative data from Sam’s Diamonds Cancer Support demonstrates positive outcomes across all service areas. Aligned with local and regional strategic priorities, these outcomes include:
Reduced GP and hospital attendance through timely emotional support and early intervention Enhanced quality of life for individuals affected by cancer Improved mental wellbeing for people living with cancer, their families Holistic support, helping to minimise long-term emotional and psychological impact Reduced isolation, reducing the feelings and effects of loneliness
## **System-Level Impact**
Aligns with NHS Halton’s focus on strengthening community resilience and partnerships with the voluntary and community sector
Supports the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System (ICS) ambition for integrated, place-based care
Contributes to Halton’s Marmot Community approach to reducing health inequalities
## **What is a Marmot Approach?**
A Marmot Place recognises that health outcomes and inequalities are largely shaped by the social determinants of health—such as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age—and takes coordinated action to improve health and reduce inequalities across the population.
## **Our Future Aims**
Sam’s Diamonds **will continue to support** individuals throughout cancer treatment and during the physical and psychological rehabilitation that follows. Our services **will continue to be designed** to ensure that no one feels alone during their cancer journey, promoting a positive, motivated mindset and reducing the risk of isolation, low mood, and depression. We **will continue to provide** inclusive support to individuals affected by all cancer types, recognising that a cancer diagnosis – regardless of type – **can have** profound and lasting physical and emotional impacts.
We **will continue to acknowledge** that the need for support does not end when treatment finishes, and that many individuals **will continue to experience** long-term side effects, anxiety, and reduced confidence. For this reason, Sam’s Diamonds **will continue to deliver** accessible support both within the community and online, ensuring continued engagement and helping to reduce health inequalities.
We **will continue to develop** innovative and responsive programmes that support service users to strengthen both body and mind, empowering them to look forward to the future with confidence. Alongside this, we **will continue to educate** the wider community and organisations about the signs and symptoms of cancer, with the aim of improving awareness, encouraging early presentation, and reducing the number of late-stage diagnoses.

## **Fundraising and Raising the Charity’s Public Profile**
Over the past year, Sam’s Diamonds Cancer Support has continued to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of our Diamonds through the delivery of compassionate, high-quality support services. We are incredibly proud of the progress we have made in strengthening both the reach and impact of our work, ensuring that those affected by cancer feel understood, supported and empowered throughout their journey.
This progress would not have been possible without the dedication and generosity of our ever-growing community of supporters. Throughout the year, individuals, families, schools, community groups and corporate partners have gone above and beyond to raise vital funds for the charity. From fun runs and school challenges to breathtaking skydives and the inspirational Camino de Santiago journeys, these fundraising efforts have not only generated essential income but have also helped to raise awareness of the importance of compassionate, community-based cancer support.
We are deeply grateful to every person who has given their time, energy and resources to support our mission. Their commitment allows us to continue developing our services, expanding our programmes and responding to the evolving needs of our community.
With this strong foundation in place, we move forward with confidence, ambition and optimism, committed to building on this success and achieving even greater outcomes in the year ahead for all those who place their trust in Sam’s Diamonds Cancer Support.
## **Volunteers**
Volunteers continued to play a vital role in the work of Sam’s Diamonds throughout the year, generously giving their time, skills and enthusiasm to support both service delivery and fundraising activity. Many volunteers were actively involved in organising and supporting events such as jumble sales, afternoon teas, and celebration events, helping to strengthen community engagement and raise essential funds. The charity remains committed to ensuring all volunteers feel valued, supported and listened to, and we will continue to review and develop volunteer roles as the organisation grows. Children of our service users who volunteer alongside the charity have benefited from meaningful peer connections, finding comfort and reassurance through bonding with other children who share similar lived experiences – opportunities that are rarely available elsewhere. All volunteer activity is delivered in line with the charity’s safeguarding policies and procedures, with appropriate oversight, guidance and support in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all volunteers and beneficiaries.
## **Financial Review**
The past year presented significant funding challenges across the voluntary and community sector, and Sam’s Diamonds experienced increasing difficulty in securing grant funding to support its services. This was compounded by the retirement of our fundraising officer and bid writer, which reduced our capacity to submit funding applications.
In order to safeguard the long-term sustainability of the charity, the Trustees made the difficult decision to make two roles redundant. The remaining staff team also agreed to temporarily reduce their working hours. Throughout this process, staff were fully informed and consulted, with transparency and open communication being a priority.
While these decisions were challenging, they were made in the best interests of the charity. We are extremely grateful to our staff for their understanding, compassion, and commitment during this period of change.
As a result of the reduced staffing structure, the charity no longer required dedicated office premises. A transition to home-based working was therefore implemented, enabling further cost savings and ensuring that more funds could be directed towards frontline charitable activities.
The statement of financial activities provides a summary of our income and expenditure from 31st March 2024 to 4th April 2025.

## SAM'S DIAMONDS
## **Financial Overview**
This year, Sam’s Diamonds Cancer Support maintained fiscal responsibility while maximising impact. Our fundraising events, including our Afternoon Tea, supplemented grants and donations received, enabling us to continue offering free and subsidised activities to Diamonds. Detailed financial accounts will be submitted separately in compliance with the Charity Commission’s requirements.
Please see separate sheets for signed-off accounts as requested by The Charity Commission.
## **Financial Outlook**
The Board continues to support the facility to take online donations and organise ticket sales. This still proves to be a great success, allowing for greater security and better communication for our supporters. We still manage to organise many online fundraising initiatives and events using this medium. Our supporter base continues to grow both publicly and commercially and greater corporate links are still being secured, we feel comfortable about our ability to gain future funding.
## **Future Plans**
The charity aims to take some time to consolidate and review more of its policies and practices in the next financial year of 2025/26. Searching for opportunities for us to improve the work we do and continuing to offer a quality service to our beneficiaries. We will be supporting our service users with a closer, more personal service, assessing individual needs and delivering the appropriate support. We will also be continuing to look into how we can work closely with corporate organisations to increase awareness and education around cancer prevention and how to support someone in the workplace who has been diagnosed.
## **Future Goals**
In the coming year, we aim to:
Expand outreach through workshops and resources. Increase public awareness of cancer prevention and support. Strengthen partnerships to ensure the sustainability of our mission.
## **Acknowledgements**
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our volunteers, donors, fundraisers, and partners who have contributed to our success. Special thanks to The Arconic Foundation, Creative Lives and Coalfields Regeneration Trust who together, we continue to empower individuals and foster a supportive community for those affected by cancer.
## **Conclusion**
This year, though difficult, has demonstrated the real and measurable impact of Sam’s Diamonds Cancer Support, strengthened both the quality and reach of the compassionate services we provide. With this solid foundation in place, we move forward with ambition and optimism to deliver even greater outcomes for those we serve.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of
## SAM'S DIAMONDS
## for the year ending 31 March 2025
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Management Committee and the examiner**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) does not apply and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- q examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- q to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act: and
- q to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- q to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
- q to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
