CHAIR’S INTRODUCTION

Can-Survive UK (CSUK) is a growing cancer charity operating across Greater Manchester providing culturally appropriate support for African, Caribbean, and other minority ethnic people affected by cancer. Guided by service users and wider community members, we offer a range of support groups, therapeutic services, 1:1 advice and information, home visits and advocacy service that are inclusive and culturally sensitive. We continue to put service users at the heart of all we do.

During this reporting period, we continued to expand into new areas across Greater Manchester. Working in partnership with other community organisations, we delivered support groups in Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, and Trafford. This continues to be an exciting period of growth for Can-Survive UK, as we further establish ourselves as the ‘go to’ cancer support service specially developed and designed to meet the needs of our target communities, who often experience cancer inequalities in relation to awareness, diagnosis, treatment, and support.

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 to become more inclusive, culturally sensitive, and accessible.

We say ‘thank you’ to CSUK’s supporters, commissioners and funders including African Caribbean Mental Health Services, Answer Cancer, Arawak Walton Housing Association, Asda Foundation, Astellas Pharma, Big Life Groups, Cancer Equality, Global Majority Fund, Greater Manchester Health and Wellbeing Fund, Henry Smith Foundation Trust, Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes Network (ICON), Lloyds SSE Programme, Macmillan Cancer Support, Orchid Cancer, Prostate Cancer Research, The National Lottery Community Fund, Salford CVS, Trafford Housing Trust, Ubele Enterprise Development Programme.

We are grateful for this support, as it enables CSUK’s further development, growth and the ability to continue to provide our services and much-needed support for community members living with or affected by cancer.

On behalf of the Trustees, we thank our CEO for her continued vision, passion, and leadership and to all staff members, sessional workers and volunteers 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.

Finally, we said goodbye to Rose Thompson, who passed away from Breast cancer In June 2023. Rose was a respected and much- loved CSUK Trustee. Rose was the Founder and Director of BME Cancer Communities and spent many years challenging the inequalities that exists for African, Caribbean and other ethnically diverse communities affected by cancer. Rose was one of the first CSUK Trustee and her dedication, commitment, knowledge, expertise and guidance supported the organisation to grow from a local support group to an organisation delivering services and projects, regionally and nationally. On behalf of the Trustees, CEO, service users, volunteers and wider community members, we say… ‘Thank you Rose’.

We celebrated CSUK and our CEO for securing - Winner, IWA ‘Inspiring Woman Award: Community 2023’ (CEO, CSUK); Winner, Women of Worth ‘Outstanding Achievement Award 2023’ (CEO, CSUK) Winner, CAHN ‘Health Equity Campaign of the Year’ 2023

Our Mission

To provide culturally appropriate support, holistic therapies, activities, and services for people diagnosed with or affected by cancer, as well as deliver cancer awareness for community members. Our services are primarily for, however not exclusive to people from an African, Black Caribbean and other minority 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 consider the diversity of the communities we work with in terms of gender, age, sexuality, culture, literacy, disability, income and faith.

Our Objectives

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.

Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2024

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 2021 census, 43.2% of Manchester residents are from a non-White ethnic background. In comparison with White ethnic groups, Black people living in Manchester are diagnosed at a later stage often experiencing poorer outcomes. There continues to be inequalities in access to prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and support services.

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’.

The delivery of cancer awareness campaigns to our target populations continues to educate, dispel myths, cultural beliefs, and fear around cancer. However, there is still a lot of work to do to address the late diagnosis and poorer outcomes often experienced by Black African, Black Caribbean and other minority ethnic, marginalised, and disadvantaged populations.

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 diverse or 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 diagnosed with or affected by 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:

Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2024

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

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.

SUPPORT and INFORMATION SERVICES/ACTIVITIES

Support Groups

During this period, funding from Global Majority Fund, Macmillan Cancer Support, National Lottery Community Fund, Trafford Housing Trust and Macmillan enabled us to continue our support services and provide therapeutic and wellbeing activities for service users in Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside, and Trafford.

In summary, we delivered 210 Cancer Support Group sessions, 132 wellbeing therapies, activities, and workshops, 14 cancer awareness sessions and hosted information stands at 16 community and mainstream health events.

Talking Therapy continues to be a well utilised however under resourced service. During this period 32 individuals collectively received a total of 54hrs individual and group counselling. Group talking therapy sessions are popular, providing the opportunity for service users to share in a safe and confidential and culturally appropriate space and support each other to reach conclusions enabling them to move forward.

In total 340 services users, their careers 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. This year we have advocated on behalf of service users experiencing challenges and issues around housing, benefits, immigration, treatment, and support.

Home Visiting Service

Our new Family Support and Community Engagement Worker, funded by Henry Smith has elevated our home visiting and advocacy services. The role has enabled us to offer a more structured service with a dedicated staff member as the main point of contact for service users.

FOCUS GROUPS/CONSULTATIONS

CSUK continues to be the ‘go to’ cancer charity for mainstream cancer and research organisations seeking to engage with African and Caribbean people to participate in focus groups and consultations. During this period we worked with Prostate Cancer Research, In September, we partnered with Prostate Cancer Research (PCR) to deliver a focus group to hear the experiences of Black men diagnosed with and/or undertaking treatment for prostate cancer to help assist the development of PCR’s Infopool.

Can-Survive UK

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2024

We have seen a significant increase from cancer and other health focussed national organisations approaching CSUK to partner to deliver a range of focus groups and consultations seeking to address 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

Cancer awareness is central to CSUK – educating community members about the signs and symptoms of cancer, particularly, bowel, cervical, breast and prostate, empowering community members to share key cancer messages within their community and enabling earlier diagnosis leading to better outcome. We secured funding from Answer Cancer to deliver a range of events raising awareness around breast and cervical screening for African, Caribbean and Asian populations. We worked with talented and creative playwright and actors who developed humourous short plays that included messages about the importance of attending screening appointments. In total 280 community members attended 4 events.

As well as cancer awareness, we hosted our information stand at various community and regional events During this reporting period we raised awareness directly to 630 community members and indirectly (via social media and radio) to approximately 7,000 people, locally, regionally, and nationally.

SUMMARY

Information service

CSUK continues to collaborate with mainstream cancer organisations such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Prostate Cancer Research, 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, 14 volunteers (7 of which are trustees) contributed approximately 400 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.

Social Enterprise

As we strive to become less reliant on grant funding, we continue to build our social enterprise.

We continued delivery of our Cultural Competency Training (funded by Lloyds SSE Programme) to mainstream cancer and research organisations – supporting improvement in support services and engagement with African and Caribbean in relation to research and clinical trials.

Our pre-loved initiative, CSUK Vintage selling high quality clothing and accessory items continues to generate a steady income. Funding from the Enterprise Development Programme enabled us to move forward with moving the vision forward to establishing pre-loved shop/hub on the high street.

Awards and Recognition

CSUK and our CEO were recognised by three awards, namely Winner: Inspirational Woman Award ‘Community’ 2023; Winner: Women of Worth ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ 2023 and Winner: Health Equity Campaign of the Year 2023. We are proud of our achievements and collectively we celebrate our success.

Board of Trustees

The trustees, who served during the reporting period and since year end are set out on page 1 . Trustees serve for a period of three years, after which they may resign or seek re-appointment. The Board of Trustees meet on a quarterly basis. The Chair has regular supervision meetings with the CEO to review the Strategic Plan, deal with any issues and discuss future plans. The CEO prepares a full set of Board papers (having first sent them to the Chair for approval) that are sent to the Board of Trustees one week prior to the meeting date.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the strategic direction of the organisation and as such discuss and make decisions relating to the Business Strategic Plan, budgets, monitoring of financial performance and agreeing the 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.
