Objectives and Activities

Summary of Objects of the charity set out in its governing document :

'The relief of sickness and the preservation of health by relieving persons suffering from cancer and the families and carers of such persons by the provision of positive individual and/or family experiences with the object of aiding the recuperation of those suffering from the effects of cancer and its treatment and improving the conditions of life of such persons and their families.'

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects:

‘Something To Look Forward To’ provides donated gifts, experiences and essentials to people affected by cancer and facing cancer poverty as a result of their diagnosis.

History and team development

‘Something To Look Forward To’ was founded by one family affected by cancer and exists to improve the lives of thousands of other families in similar situations across the UK. The charity became registered in December 2015 and became operational in February 2016 and was the result of the experience of Fiona and Andrew Coldron who are the founding directors. The charity supports people and families affected by cancer and ‘cancer poverty’ in the UK. This report is for the sixth year of operations and outlines the significant growth of the charity including changes to the staff team.

We terminated the Service Coordinator post on 27/11/2020 and recruited Molly Lambert into position of Projects Coordinator on 04/05/2021. We recruited Holly Kingsley into post of Relationship Executive on 01/11/2021 and our Fundraiser post became vacant on 22/12/2021 and was not filled by the end of the year.

Most significantly, our Founding Director Fiona Coldron sadly passed away in February 2021 after living with cancer since 2007. Francesca Abery stepped up into the role of Managing Director and now leads the charity in her mother’s memory.

The charity provides the following provision:

Holidays – These gifts provide couples and families with a break from their usual wold of cancer treatment, scans, and results.

Dining – These gifts allow couples and families to spend valuable time together outside of the home creating positive memories.

Activities and Attractions - These gifts provide couples and families with the opportunity to have fun by taking part in indoor and outdoor activities; promoting both their physical and emotional health.

Health and Wellbeing - These gifts allow individuals, couples and families to rest and recuperate during their time of need as well offering the opportunity for physical exercise and complimentary therapy.

Essentials – These gifts are for those experiencing extreme financial problems which we grant via the agencies we work with to reach those most in need. These include such things as bedding; towels; toiletries; clothing and food vouchers.

Impact

After successfully adapting our services in line with the global pandemic and associated government restrictions during the previous year, this year saw the charity continue to deliver a variety of services in line with continued restrictions, carefully balancing the need for support within our cancer community against the associated risks and anxieties within our high-risk beneficiary group. As the Covid-19 Vaccines were rolled out and restrictions eased, we were able to reintroduce our Main Gifts Programme which provided experiences to people affected by cancer poverty across the UK.

We launched our ‘Something Green Project’ which focussed on partnering with ethical and sustainable businesses to provide gifts, and experiences, continued running our Male Engagement

Project and launched new regional projects in Kent, Sussex, Essex, and projects focussing on supporting children and young people in Suffolk, Norfolk. Our partnership with the Elizabeth Coteman Fund continued so we could support those affected by Pancreatic Cancer with bespoke provision.

We developed our online evaluation tools to measure our impact more accurately and began measuring our impact across four main themes: Emotional Health and Wellbeing; Emotional impact on family and Carers; Identity; and Isolation. We asked beneficiaries to scale themselves on how they were feeling before and after using our service using a ten-point scale, with ten the highest level of wellbeing, and 1 being the lowest as well as leaving qualitative feedback.

Our quantitative results are as follows:

Theme Average Rating Before
UsingOur Service		 Average Rating After
Usingour Service		 Wellbeing % increase
Isolation & Loneliness 4.5 7 56%
Emotional Health &
Wellbeing		 4 7.4 85%
Emotional impact on
family& Carers		 4.7 7.5 60%
Identity 3.3 6.5 97%

On average, service users rated their experience of applying for, receiving, and using their gift or experience from ‘Something To Look Forward To’ as 9.8 out of 10. Considering the above we believe we delivered a highly professional service which made a considerable impact across the oftenoverlooked areas of need within the cancer community.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Something To Look Forward To is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 84 Coleridge Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB1 3PJ.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2021 are the first financial statements of Something To Look Forward To prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 1 December 2019. The reported financial position and financial performance for the previous period are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.

1.2 Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment

Straight line over 3 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
