for the year ended 31 March 2022
## **CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION**
This is Can-Survive UK’s (CSUK) sixth annual financial and organisational report.
Now in its 6[th] year, CSUK continues to provide support for African, Caribbean and other minority ethnic people affected by cancer by offering a range of support groups, therapeutic services, 1:1 advice and information, home visits and advocacy service that are inclusive, culturally sensitive and puts service users at the heart of all we do. During this reporting period, the country was getting back to normal, after approximately 18months of lockdowns, due to COVID19. Service users were getting used to leaving their homes and reconnecting with services and support. Our independent external evaluation produced an evaluation report which demonstrated the positive impact of our services and work for service users, wider community members, commissioners, and partner organisations. It gave us the boost to continue with our vision to expand into other localities within Greater Manchester and pursue the development of our social enterprise.
We continue to work with a range of regional and national cancer and other health organisations seeking to better understand the health needs of community members from African, Caribbean, and other ethnic populations. We work with these organisations to help shape services that are inclusive, culturally sensitive and accessible.
We would like to thank all of CSUK.s supporters, commissioners and funders including _**African Caribbean Mental Health Services, Arawak Walton Housing Association, Big Life Groups, BME Cancer Communities, Cancer Equality, Greater Manchester Fund, Greater Manchester Health and Wellbeing Fund, Macmillan, No 93 Community Centre, Harpurhey, Orchid Cancer, The National Lottery Community Fund, The National Lottery Awards for All, The National Lottery Covid19 Response Fund.**_
We remain always grateful for this continued support as it supports CSUK’s development and the ability to continue to provide the much-needed support to community members affected by cancer.
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.
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.
Service users and wider community members 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.
Our service users and the wider community continue to support the vision of CSUK as being a successful and leading cancer support organisation, locally, regionally and nationally.
I continue to be proud to be Chair of Can-Survive UK and celebrate its many successes.
Finally, as in previous years, I would like to express our sincere thanks to our staff, volunteers, donors and stakeholders for their valued contribution, all of which goes towards improving the health and wellbeing of our service users, carers, family members affected by cancer.
**Kirit Patel Chair**

Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31 March 2022
- To effectively and strategically network and build partnerships on a local, regional, and national level with other cancer related agencies and relevant community organisations and groups.
- To highlight and challenge any discriminatory practices that exists within cancer service provisions.
- To develop social enterprise and generate unrestricted income
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 two 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. The census conducted in 2020 will no doubt reveal additional issues around cancer relating to the Black African, Black Caribbean, and other minority ethnic communities.
Due to language and cultural barriers, many Black African, Black Caribbean other minority ethnic 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 minority ethnic, marginalised, and disadvantaged populations, leading to later diagnosis and poorer outcomes.
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.

## Can-Survive UK
## Trustees’ annual report
## for the year ended 31 March 2022
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:
- Cancer Support Groups
- Home Visiting Service
- Advocacy
- Group and 1:1 activities and therapies
- Diverse range of holistic wellbeing therapies
- Wellbeing Workshops
- Focus Groups / Consultations (organisation and facilitation)
- Cancer Awareness sessions / events
- Information Service
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 years’ funding from **The National Lottery Community Fund** . This funding contributed to the core costs of the organisation. The additional grant from TNLCF allowed us to continue to deliver services in north Manchester.
## **SUPPORT and INFORMATION SERVICES/ACTIVITIES**
## **Support Groups**
During this period, we continued to engage with and support service users to attend the weekly support groups in Hulme and Harpurhey, following a long period of being isolated and fearful. Funding from the Global Majority Fund enabled us to deliver a suite of therapeutic and wellbeing workshops and activities including art therapy, personal development programme, relaxation and meditation, exercise, in South and North Manchester. In summary we delivered **144** Cancer Support Group sessions, **66** wellbeing activities and workshops and **8** cancer awareness sessions.
**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.
In total **184** services users, their carers and family members accessed our support groups, therapies, and other activities, including support and information.

## **Advocacy**
We continued to advocate on behalf of service users – supporting them to access GP appointments, hospital services, hospice staff, benefit agencies, housing departments and other statutory services. Our advocacy service is integral to our overall offer.
## **Home Visiting Service**
Our home visiting service continues, as we engage with service users who, due to cancer treatment, generally feeling unwell or coming to the end of life. Our plan is to further develop this and embed it into our offer.
## **FOCUS GROUPS/CONSULTATIONS**
Post COVID19 has seen an increase cancer and other health focussed national organisations approaching CSUK to partner to deliver a range of focus groups and consultations. COVID19 further highlighted the health and social inequalities that exists for Black African, Black Caribbean, Asian and other minority ethnic community members. This area of work supports our work in influencing policy, developing, and improving cancer diagnosis, care and support.
## **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.
## **SUMMARY**
## **The benefit of our services**
The services, projects, and initiatives we deliver are beneficial to service users, the wider community and health care professionals:
## **Service users**
- reduced feelings of isolation
- increased confidence and communication skills
- improved mental, physical and emotional wellbeing
- improved resilience
- developed new friendships and expanded support network

## **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, 15 volunteers (7 of which are trustees) contributed a total of 337 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. We continue 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 continues to develop and establish itself as a valuable community resource and asset.

Fundraising Strategy. The Board of trustees is also responsible for the recruitment and approval of any senior posts and for reviewing the performance of senior managers.
The Board of Trustees have in place a diverse range of skills, experience and knowledge required to grow and secure the sustainability of CSUK. These include business management, human resources, financial management, project management, voluntary sector, social enterprise, charity governance and administration, health and social care and cancer.
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.
The trustees delegated day to day responsibility to and sought advice from Marcella Turner, Services Development and Delivery Manager, during this reporting period.

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.

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- 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 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.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Notes to the accounts for the period ended 31 March 2022
## **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.
The charity has applied the exemption available to small charities in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and does not include a Statement of Cash Flows in these Financial Statements.
Can-Survive UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
## **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.
