WORLD CANCER CARE
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Introduction
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting this report and the financial statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation for the year to 30 June 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements.
The need for our work
We exist because the lack of awareness and education of detecting the early stages of cancer and the effect of lifestyle choices which can potentially lead to the onset of cancer are a leading cause of death.
World Cancer Care are providers of Cancer Awareness through its work in the United Kingdom and Cancer Awareness, Education and Screening facilities to people in India who would not otherwise have access to such facilities.
Many people simply can’t afford to visit a doctor for a simple physical exam or screening appointment, and many live too far away from the hospitals and surgeries which could provide life-saving cancer checks. Our fully converted, mobile cancer-screening vehicles and pop-up medical camps can access remote villages and areas of India to offer these services to people in need. We also provide counselling for patients who are diagnosed with cancer through our connections with medical experts and Government hospitals.
Nearly 70% of the Indian population live in rural India, whilst 95% of cancer care facilities are situated in urban areas – out of reach for many in need of treatment due to distance and travel expense. Due to this, in rural India, mortality rates for cancer are much higher than urban centres.
World Cancer Care provide cancer tests for early detection of Breast, Cervical, Prostate, Oral Cavity, and Oesophageal Cancer. These early-detection tests are vital, since many rural areas of India have little to no awareness or education about cancer, and so often only ask for treatment during advanced stages of the disease.
It is due to this late detection that outcomes are often poor for patients who seek treatment, which could lead other sufferers to believe that medical intervention cannot help them.
World Cancer Care seeks to stop this vicious cycle by raising awareness about early-detection and raising awareness on how to self-examine and when to seek help.
Our mission, vision and philosophy
World Cancer Care’s mission is to provide a focussed awareness and education of cancer and reduce the number of people being diagnosed with late stage cancer.
Our strategic objectives and priorities
Our over-arching strategic priority is:
To undertake cancer awareness, education activities and provide early diagnostic facilities that reduce the risk of late stage diagnosis.
To support this strategic priority, we have four strategic objectives:
-
Engage with communities through innovative educational and awareness campaigns.
-
Build beneficial partnerships with other charitable, statutory and commercial organisations to extend the reach of our work.
-
Raise the profile of cancer prevention with key stakeholders, highlighting World Cancer Care’s role as the leading charity in this field.
-
Ensure that the necessary financial, staffing, governance and other resources are in place to support the objectives above.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
WORLD CANCER CARE
Our objectives fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further.
An overview of our work
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our work and in planning our future activities. All our charitable activities focus on the awareness, education and early diagnosis of cancer and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
We make a difference by:
-
Spreading knowledge and changing behaviour
-
Supporting people in local communities
-
Providing easy access to our facilities.
We use our skills to engage with families, spreading knowledge, changing attitudes and behaviour, and encouraging individuals to seek specialist advice from qualified medical practitioners on any concerns they may have.
In addition to our normal work, we expanded our general wellbeing guidance to highlight the need to follow government’s medical guidelines in dealing with Covid-19 and the importance of obtaining medical advice in the event of experiencing any symptoms.
Covid-19 lockdown and restrictions caused prevented us from carrying out majority of our regular activities. During the year the Trustees’ focussed their efforts in supporting causes which provided support to frontline and other relevant activities dealing with Covid-19 related issues.
Who benefits from our work
Our work is aimed at encouraging a healthy lifestyle and the need to obtain specialist advice from qualified medical practitioners to identify the signs of cancer at an early stage. We encourage regular medical checkups so any suspected signs of cancer can be identified. Treatment is undertaken by the mainstream medical establishments such as the NHS.
To achieve this, we target our activities at various levels within communities, equipping them with the knowledge they need to take proactive decisions.
Fundraising activities
During the year, the Trustees have succeeded in fundraising a total of £141,935 (2021 – £191,320). The Trustees spent £17,641 (2021 - £80,201) to further its activities under the “Adopt a Village, Save a Life” initiative.
The Trustees’ current policy is to continue the “Adopt a Village, Save a Life” initiative and to increase the reach of its activities.
Awareness of the Charity’s existence continues to grow and a large number of requests are now received, giving the Trustees plenty of ideas on how to scale-up the Charity’s activities.
The Trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when considering the objects, activities and future plans of the Charity.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity was set up by three current Trustees supporting of such charitable objects as the Trustees decide in accordance with the law of England and Wales. The Governing Document of the Charity is the Constitution dated 15 December 2015.
The Trustees have power to appoint new trustees but the total number shall not be less than three.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year under law, that the Trustees must not approve the Financial Statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities’ SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) has been followed, disclosing and explaining any departures there from in the Financial Statements; and
-
prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of World Cancer Care
I have examined the Financial Statements of World Cancer Care for the year ended 30 June 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act). My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
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 Financial Statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Financial Statements and seeks 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 Financial Statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Voluntary Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income, after any performance conditions have been met, when the amount can be measured reliably and when it is probable that the income will be received. Income from donations is recognised on receipt, unless there are conditions attached to the donation that require a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained. In this case income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified as Costs of Charitable Activities.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life. Land is not depreciated.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction.
Funds
Unrestricted funds are those funds can be used at the Trustees’ discretion for either capital or revenue purposes on any of the activities carried out by the charity. Where donations are for a particular project or appeal, these are recognised as restricted funds.
