Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2021

Chair Introduction

This is Can-Survive UK’s (CSUK) fifth annual financial and organisational report. Like everyone else, our work this year has been dominated by the impact of Covid19 pandemic. We have lived through extraordinary times and left our service users more isolated and vulnerable than ever. The country experienced various lockdowns and restriction of movement. As a consequence, we adapted our services quickly to deliver support that was flexible and responsive to meet the changing needs of established and new service users. We secured additional funding for the organisation to reach out into new areas; replicating our support and advice services for community members residing in Old Trafford, south Manchester and Harpurhey in north Manchester.

Since we were established five years ago, CSUK continues to be based within the Kath Locke Centre; a much loved community resource centre in Hulme, Manchester. We support people affected by cancer through a range of support groups, therapeutic services, one to one advice and information, home visits and advocacy service.

CSUK continues to be the ‘go to’ organisation for statutory healthcare providers and cancer support services when seeking to improve their understanding of and engagement with community members from Black and other ethnic minority populations. Covid19 further highlighted the health inequalities that exists for people from a Black African, Black Caribbean and Asian backgrounds, resulting in an increase in requests to share our knowledge and experience with these groups. This demonstrates the organisation’s growing reputation.

We would like to thank all of CSUK’s supporters, commissioners and funders including African Caribbean Mental Health Services, ALL FM, Arawak Walton Housing Association, ASDA Hulme, BHA for Equality in Health and Social Care, BME Cancer Communities , Cancer Equality, Diamond FM, Forever Manchester Auto Trader, Forever Manchester, Greater Manchester Health and Wellbeing Fund, Macmillan, No 93 Community Centre, Harpurhey, Manchester University, Orchid Cancer, Salford CVS, The National Lottery Community Fund, The National Lottery Awards for All, The National Lottery Covid19 Response Fund, and Manchester University NHS FT, We Love Manchester.

We remain grateful for this continued support as it is vital to CSUK’s ongoing growth and more importantly the organisations’ ability to continue to provide the much-needed support to community members affected by cancer. The commitment and support of various people, community groups, organisations and statutory organisations enables the continued development of CSUK.

On behalf of the Trustees, we thank Marcella for her continued vision, passion and leadership and to all staff members for their hard work and commitment all of which contributes significantly to the sustainability of the organisation. This reporting period was challenging for everyone, and our staff team worked hard to ensure continuity of services and activities.

Thank you also to the Board of Trustees who continue to utilise their experience, knowledge and skills; providing the strategic direction and support that enables CSUK’s progression for the years ahead.

A very big thank you to our service users and wider community members as they remain at the core of what we do. Collectively, they continue to make CSUK what it is: a culturally appropriate service supporting people to meet others affected by cancer, make new friends, share their feelings and concerns, learn new skills, access wellbeing therapies and activities – all of which contribute to improving their self-esteem, confidence and wellbeing.

It is widely recognised Covid19 has resulted in more undiagnosed and untreated cases of cancer especially among communities experiencing health, racial and economic inequalities. Over the coming years, there will be an upsurge in cancer diagnosis and higher demand for support services. CSUK is well placed to support individuals seeking help

and support as well as those who want to share their lived experience of cancer and become community cancer champions. To go into their own communities and help break down the barriers that prevent people from recognising signs and symptoms of common cancers, seek help from their GP, speak about cancer with others and engage with the NHS cancer screening programmes available. As more individuals and families are impacted by cancer, Community Cancer Champions and CSUK will have an important role in supporting increased cancer awareness and helping to save lives.

We are immensely grateful for the support of our service users and the wider community who continue to support the vision of CSUK, as being a successful and leading cancer support organisation, locally, regionally and eventually, nationally.

I continue to be proud to be Chair of Can-Survive UK and celebrate its many successes and joys.

Finally, I would like to express our sincere thanks to our staff, trustees, volunteers, donors and stakeholders for their valued contribution, all of which goes towards improving the health and wellbeing of our service users, carers and family members affected by cancer.

Objectives and activities

The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended March 2021. Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the charity’s constitution and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Our Mission

To provide culturally appropriate information, support, holistic activities and cancer awareness to people living with or affected by cancer. Our services are primarily but not exclusively targeted to people from a Black African, Black Caribbean and other Ethnic backgrounds. Our service is for everyone.

Our Vision

CSUK continues to aspire to be a centre of excellence, providing cancer related information, support and health and wellbeing holistic activities that meet the cultural needs of its service users and help to improve their quality of life. Service users continue to remain central in the development and delivery of innovative, creative and exciting tailormade services that are accessible, appropriate and responsive – ensuring that our services take into account the diversity of the communities we work with in terms of gender, age, sexuality, culture, literacy, disability, income and faith.

Our Objectives

Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2021

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Why CSUK?

It is now predicted that one in three people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer. (Macmillan Cancer Support).

According to the 2011 census, 33.4% of Manchester residents are from a non-White ethnic background. In comparison with White ethnic groups, Black people living in Manchester have significantly higher rates of multiple myeloma and stomach cancer, Black men have higher rates of prostate cancer and Asian women have increased rate of cancers of the mouth. There are inequalities in access to prevention, screening, treatment and support services.

Due to language and cultural barriers, many Black African, Black Caribbean and Asian people living with or affected by cancer do not access the support services delivered by mainstream cancer organisations. They often stay at home resulting in increased isolation, anxiety and stress, as well as a decrease in confidence, fitness and energy levels. These factors can have a negative impact on their emotional, physical, mental and psychological wellbeing. Mainstream cancer organisations and health and social care providers have identified these issues and often describe BME communities as ‘hard to engage’.

Despite the delivery of targeted cancer awareness campaigns to our target populations, awareness about cancer remains low in Black African, Black Caribbean and other ethnic, marginalised and disadvantaged populations, leading to later diagnosis and poorer outcomes.

Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2021

There has been an improvement in the availability of culturally sensitive cancer resources for Black African, Black Caribbean and other ethnic people affected by cancer, however the offer of culturally appropriate support remains challenging within mainstream cancer organisations. Often staff within mainstream cancer services are not culturally aware which can lead to mistrust, breakdown of communication and lack of engagement from the patient / service user.

About CSUK

Founded in March 2015 and registered as a charity in March 2016, CSUK provides support and information that is culturally sensitive, person-centred, holistic, and accessible. We help people, their family members and carers through their cancer journey from diagnosis to life after cancer.

CSUK is currently located at the Kath Locke Centre, a well utilised community resource based in Hulme, Manchester. Our services, although targeted at the Black and Minority Ethnic population is available for anyone with cancer over the age of 18 years.

At CSUK, everyone is individual. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to our services, as everyone’s cancer journey is different and unique and it is on this basis that our services and projects are developed to ensure that our service users’ needs are met.

Our services include:

CSUK’s support services are free of charge. This is important as many of our service users are marginalised and disadvantaged.

Our services are delivered by experienced, trained and qualified professionals. We also have volunteers who contribute hugely to the development and delivery of the organisation.

This reporting period covers Year 2 of 3 funding from The National Lottery Community Fund . This funding largely contributed to the core costs of the organisation. The additional grant from TNLCF allowed us to expand our services to Harpurhey, north Manchester.

SUPPORT and INFORMATION SERVICES/ACTIVITIES

Support Groups: Women Only Wednesdays (WOW) and Men only Thursdays (MOT) Cancer Support Groups

The unexpected pandemic and subsequent resulted in the organisation moving some of our services from face to face to online from March 2020 to Sept 2020. During this period, we delivered creative writing, exercise, breast cancer awareness and talking therapy sessions. We made weekly telephone calls to service users to check on their wellbeing and find out how we could support them through this worrying time. From Sept to Dec 2020, we recommenced face to face services, however with restricted numbers and covid19 risk assessment and procedures in place.

5

Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2021

In summary we delivered 16 Cancer Support Group sessions (face to face), 16 online health and wellbeing activities and workshops and 3 online cancer awareness sessions.

The lockdown interrupted the establishment of our cancer support group in Harpurhey. However, we service users by providing 1:1 talking therapy sessions via zoom and telephone and online exercise sessions. We supported a terminally ill young mother and her two young children and her family members. Whilst in hospital, we advocated on behalf of the young mother, liaising with her consultant/hospital staff and feeding back to the service user and her family. This service user sadly died in January 2021. We supported the family and liaised with the hospice on their behalf, negotiating access at a time when there was a no visit policy.

We continued to support two homeless service users with the purchase of second-hand household items from Mustard Tree charity. We purchased 10 tablets and delivered training to service users to support them to get online and access Zoom, GP surgery, banking etc. Being able to go online helped service users to stay connected with family and friends.

Talking Therapy continued to be well utilised, with service users requesting 1:1 sessions due to additional stress and worry of covid19, loss of a loved one to covid19, depression and isolation. Group talking therapy sessions are also popular, providing the opportunity for service users to share in a confidential and culturally appropriate space.

With the grant from We Love Manchester Covid19 Response Fund, we supported 32 service users with transport to and from hospital appointments, contributions to gas and electric top up cards, food shopping. This support was invaluable for service users who due to being at home more, faced challenges in meeting the increased costs.

As the country went back into movement restrictions in December 2020, with funding from Forever Manchester, we developed and delivered our Food and Support Team (FAST) project. We delivered 640 hot meals and 560 baskets to service users and carers isolating, shielding or going through cancer treatment. In total we supported 75 community members. 7 volunteers and 2 sessional workers supported this much needed project – providing culturally appropriate food, hot meals and face to face (doorstep) interaction for service users across Manchester on a weekly basis during the winter of 2020/21.

In total 145 services users, their carers and family members accessed our support groups, therapies and other activities.

Advocacy

This reporting period saw an increase in service users requesting that we support them to access GP appointments, hospital services, hospice staff, benefit agencies, housing departments and other statutory services. This has become integral to our service offer as service users continue to seek assistance, particularly in light of the covid19 restrictions and what it translated to in relation to accessing cancer treatment, GP and hospital treatment.

In our last report, we highlighted supporting a service user to access cancer treatment, secure permanent home. During this period, we continued to support the service user to access culturally sensitive talking therapy helping him to address the anger and mental health issues he was experiencing. At the time of writing this report, the service user’s mental wellbeing has drastically improved, participating in a music and writing courses and secured employment.

Home Visiting Service

As well our Food and Support Team (FAST) service, we had the sad task of providing support for two service users coming to end of life and their respective families. This was particularly challenging during lockdowns and restrictions – navigating and liaising with the multi agencies, contributing to reducing the stress and anxiety for the family members.

FOCUS GROUPS/CONSULTATIONS

This area of our work is vital to ensuring that the thoughts, opinions and experiences of community members across Manchester are heard and included in future planning of cancer and health and wellbeing projects and services. This approach contributes to addressing and resolving the health inequalities that exist within mainstream cancer support services and published resources and to ensure that their views are taking into consideration at the beginning of any planning for funding/commissioning.

CANCER AWARENESS EVENTS

Due to Covid-19 our schedule of community events had to be put on hold. We resumed events in September 2021 – which we will report on in our 2021/22 Report. With funding from Answer Cancer – we produced a Breast cancer awareness short video, which was disseminated via various social media platforms. We accepted invitations to speak about the impact that covid19 was having on cancer diagnosis and treatment on ALL FM and Diamond FM – community radio stations in north and south Manchester. During this reporting period we raised awareness directly to 32 community members and indirectly (via social media and radio) to approximately 33,000 community members.

Information service

CSUK continues to liaise with mainstream cancer organisations such as Macmillan and Prostate Cancer UK, Orchid Cancer to ensure that information is culturally appropriate in terms of language and images that enable improved accessibility to and engagement with the Black African, Black Caribbean and other ethnic populations.

Volunteers

Volunteers continue to play a huge and vital role in the development of CSUK and the delivery of its services. During the reporting period, 24 volunteers (7 of which are trustees) contributed a total of 540 hours to the organisation. This time contributed hugely to the organisation and enabled CSUK to achieve its key outcome of providing support that is culturally appropriate to people, particularly those from Black African and Black Caribbean populations, living with or affected by cancer. With their support, we have been able to help people at a ‘traumatic’ and ‘bewildering’ time of their life. We were also able to deliver much needed support and stay connected with service users during the pandemic. CSUK’s role is to encourage and enable people affected by cancer to build resilience, grow in confidence, make appropriate changes and move forward with their lives.

Due to individuals giving up their free time and utilising their knowledge, experience and skills, CSUK has grown and continues to establish itself as a valuable community resource and asset.

Unrestricted income

Unrestricted funding, including donations is key to the organisation’s income and we are extremely grateful as it assists in supporting our services and core element of the organisation.

Operating Costs

Our total expenditure for the reporting period was £85,757.

During the reporting period approximately 75% of the organisation’s expenditure was related to meeting core costs and 25% service delivery. We continue to identify and secure funding and commissions for core expenditure to enable effective growth and future sustainability of CSUK as a viable organisation.

Reserves Policy

CSUK is a relatively new charity therefore all funding acquired to date has been mainly for core costs and project and services development and delivery. Although we have not had the financial capacity to start building reserves, we believe looking at our finances that we can begin to build on reserves in 2021/2022. We will continue to aim to increase our reserves in line with the growth of the organisation. We have an appropriate Reserves Policy that will enable us to meet our objectives. This is included in our Fundraising Strategy.

Trustees are recruited via networking, word of mouth and advertising. All potential trustees complete an application form, have an initial meeting with the Chair and CEO and if approved, invited to attend a CSUK Board Meeting as an observer and by way of introduction to the rest of the trustees. Once approved by all trustees, they are formally voted onto the Board at the next meeting. The induction process takes place during the year, when new trustees are invited to attend the support groups to meet and talk with service users as well as the volunteers. We will be looking to secure service user representation on the Board.

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
