hospitals in the Midlands weekly. These are items that patients might find difficult lo buy themselves or simply
¢annol afford - and that brings people happiness and wmfort al a difficult lime. For many people in the hogpilal
setting, our volunteers are their only regu5ar visitors.
Lorraine and Lee Lewis Icharily Founders) were so moved when Lee's mum was hospilalisèd with cancer al
Northampton General Hospital that il led them lo sel up a chaiily.
R￿ognIsing the fear. upset and lonelin&ss faced by individuals undargoing ¢an¢er treatment and IF*ir loved ones,
they were determined that Iheii charity would make a real differen¢e. They sourced donations, packageil. and
delivered gifts for patients on oncology wards. That was April 2016- when The Lewis Foundation was born.

The only criteria to access otjr service is that you are on a cancer ward al Dne of the hospitals that we partner with.

CHIEVEMENTS AND PERFO
ONTHS
As a chaiily over the last 12 months, we have continued to experience that the traditional methods of generating
income for our charity has become tougher.
When comparing our records from previous years of 8tlending fur)dralslng efforts in the community and through
events, we have noticed a signifi¢anl decline in fundraising income. Members of the public are finding il hardèr lo
lundraise in the manner they used lo as people are eillier donating a lesser amount or are not able lo donate al all
due lo the financial impact of the rising ¢osls of living in society.
11 is dear there are limited funding pols, wlh some even being cul which has made il harder lo secure long term
funding.
The cosl-of-llving crlsls has meant we have experlenced an increased demand for our se¥vi¢es. With cancer
patients not being able lo work or are restricted hours. often without sick pay, people are relying more on the items
We provide for our packs. Patients, their families and hospital staff repeatedly tell us that our packs are acting as a
lrfeline with people not being able lo afford loilelries. snack5 or something as simple as a book lo lake their mind off
what they are going through.
For us as ¢harity. we had to look al how we can financially continue lo delDier our services and gonerate the income
we need lo make this happen.
We have had lo really think outside the box and adapt our income generation model lo enable us to deliver what we
lova to do best, which is lo provide Comfort and happiness lo adult cance¥ patients in hospital. As a Charity, we have
decided we have no option but to adapt lo meet the needs of society. who want lo give bul are not always financially
able to give.
Whilst, it has been tough lo start to mak8 this transition and a huge learning ¢urve, we ar& proud lo say the
decisions we are making will enable us to raise funds and build a sustainable financial income.
Below showcases our achievements and performance for The Lews Foundation over the last 12 months.

OUR GIFT PACKS
We have been able lo maintain the variety of gift pa¢ks we offtrr lo patients al 29 diflerenl packs. No one has come
forward recommending any furthèr packs, so we are satisfied al present we offer the wide variety of pa¢ks that is
needed that is of benelit to patients in hospital.
We continue to provide on average 2DOO packs per month lo our 17 hospital partners. Vvhilsl, th& hospitals have
requested more packs be delivertd. we have Currently capped il at this number until we build our financial inGome lo
be able to offer an increased number ol packs to thè hospitals we support. The hospitals are understanding of this
and know that increasing the numbar of packs that we Can offer is something that we look al in thè next financial
year.
We continue lo receive requests from other hospitals across the UK for our servi¢es. Our work continues lo be
shared across the NHS about the bènelils of our support to a patients physlcal and mental wellbelng on a cancer
ward.
Al present as a charity, we have decided we will not expand our service further as this would compromise the
quality of the existing service we already provide. However, we will reach out to the hospitals that have approached
when we are in a financial position lo do so.
As a charity, we are prouol we have begn able tg maintain our average gift pack cost of £3.60. W@ have been able to
maintain our existing relationships with businesses and wholesalers who understand the nature of our work ancl
have not increased the prices of the products that we need lo purchasa.
We have also been able lo partner w¢lh businesses through our surplus sto¢k ¢ampaign, which we will OLrtllne in
more detail later. We continue lo partner with businesses such as Sol Retail who donate their excess stock lo our
charity such as loiletriès-based items. This is something we have be&n able lo expand with new brand donors such
as Avon, Amazon, Boots and J & J Fulfilmenl increasing that product range such as journals. books and dry skin
creams. This also saves us money from not having to purchase the items whi¢h means we can keep our tkqGk cost
low or sometime5 al zero cost because entire items needed foi the packs has been donated.
Over the last 12 months our work has extended lo support cancer patients in the community. We have found that
have been contacted by cancer patients and their families outside the hospital selling asking for SLTPPOrt and
advice on topics such as exercise, skincare and nutrition,
With funding support for a period of 12 months from Milton Keynes Community Foundation, we aro able lo host
series of maslerclasses and workshops for cancer patients and their families ¢overing the topics they were asking
for in the community setting. We partnered wth Naturally TIWA Skin¢ar& who provided the procfucls that would
alleviate the side effects of treatment, providing comfort to the patients.
MaslerclasBes and Wort(shops included hosting pamper session al Harrods Beauty, Yoga Workshop. Soundbalh
and Journalling, We found the numbers of participants continue lo grow. wth patients and Ihelr famdles, forming
connections and creating their own network of support outsid& the hospilaS selling. This prolect Is due lo complete in
July 2024, with a view lo be taking if this somolhing we wish to Gontinu8 b&yond this date.
Below are examples of how the impact of our work ¢onlinues lo make a differenctr..
I have been working with The Lewis Foundation on behalf of Nollingham University Hospitals NHS TrLtsl for 4 year5.
During this lime I have personally witnessed the difforence that this charity makes for people living with a cancer
diagnosis,
When l first mel Lorraine and Lee Lews, their dedication and Gommilment lo improving the lives of people with
cancer and were clear lo see. They had a simple idea and luined that idea into a charity Ihal improves lives. The
gifts they supply combat loneliness, make people feel cared for. lift mood and in many cases provide clothin9 and
food during long days in hospital for people who may not have the means to provlde thls for themselves.

This month alone and with the help ol this wonderful charity..
We gave Joyce an art pack which she completed on the ward while reeelving life
saving Irealmenl. The pack prompted a discussion with the person in the next
bed and together they worked on the art, got to know one another and formed a
frlendship.
We gave Peter and overnight pack after he was unexpectedly admitted lo the
ward from an oul-palients clinic. The pack provided him with essential toiletries,
underwear and nighlwgar.
ljve gave a sickness band pack to Susan, who wa8 struggling with nausea during
treatment.
Michael picked up a book lo read during his long chemotherapy sessions and
when he finishes it, he will pass il on another palienl having Chemotherapy.
We gave James a hol drink and snack pack aft8r he told us that he was al

Below is a highlight of how The Lewis Foundation generates It8 funds lo prowde the service we cfo lo Ihe cancer
patients we support.
Our key focus was lo start lo develop build a range income streams lo generate the funds we need br The Lewis
Foundation to provide ils services. This is about Starling to develop our income model so we are not just relying on
funding, fundraising and donations which makes it hard for us lo plan as a charity how much income we receive,
which will impact on the service we are able to provide.
R OWN FUN
We reviewed our previous years data about whal fundraising events would be beneficial lo proceed with going
forward and which ones no longer worked. Across the board with all our fundraising events, we have seen a decline
each year on the total funols raised.
11 efiabled us lo identify that fundraisers wllh a lower fundraising largel (£200 and underl did well and anything
above that level of income a lol of people were struggling lo meet. We were finding peopl& who has signed up lo
fundraise wère contacting us in advance of the event saying they were worried they would not meet theii target, with
some not being able to reach their laTget.
We look the decision lo drop events such as our Skydiv6 due lo a higher sponsorship amount that needed lo be
ralsed and focusing c)n things such smallèr sponsorship largels such as the Firewalk and Abseil.
We have Gonlinued lo host our own annual event 'Waler Dash, at Upton Country Park, with us being 8ble lo secure
sponsors such as Michael Jones Jeweller lo cover the costs of the event. This has meant 1000A of the race entry
and any sponsorship goes directly lo The Lewis Foundation to fund our Wofk. Due lo popularity increasing, il is
something we will also host again new year.
This year for the fir81 time, as a charity we declded lo host our own Gala Ball. Working with one of our long-term
Corporate Partners Fawsley Hall and Spa who gifted us the venue space lo use. This was about largeling our
business supporters and attracting new ones to support our cause. We were able lo allract sponsors such as
Mannol UK and University of Northampton which covered the costs ol the event. 11 a fantastic evening bringing
many members of the community together such as the Mayor of Northamplon and Deputy Lord Lleutenanl and
included performances from local artist Bllly L￿Ket1. In total £11.100 was raised and 11 is an event that will scale,
which we will host again next year.
In addition. we also had individuals and bus1nessès organlslng their own fundralsers for The Le￿S Foundation from
laklng part running events, bake sales lo hosting their fundraising aclivilies.

UNDRAISING EVENTS
Basèd on reviewing our previous data for community events over the last 5 years, we decided lo reduce attending
events of this nature by around 800/0. The money raised vs time invested was not charity lime or money spent well,
which could be deployed lo other araas.
We also found il harder lo gel volunl@er for events especially al the weekends with our volunteers regularfy saying
thèy are working more or have caring responsilylilies. If we had lo pay for people lo work lo allend. we would be in
This is something that has not just been experienced by us but also other charities loo.
We now only focus on key community events that hava consislenlly been successful like Weston Favell Shoppino
Gentr¢ and Duslon Players Theatre Group.
We have been grateful over the last 12 months for the funding support we have ¥eceived that has not only fLJnded
our gift packs bul also helped lo cover our wre Costs. We have not highlighted everyone as some peopl6 havè
requested that recognition is not required for the funding they have provided.
Tesco - Groundworks - Blue Token in Tesco Stores across the areas we support has secured us funding of £4750
10 Support OLtr gift pack costs.
Openwork Foundation- Provided funding of £10.500 to help support with 6 months rental costs of ow storage unit.
This was a fantsstic ftjnding support for Th6 Lewis Foundation as it is hard to secure funding lo assist with cor
costs.

The popularity of our Pop-up Shop Fundraisèrs in Grosvenor Shopping Northampton was leading to more business
donors, greater stock donations and requests from the shopping ¢ènlrelmembers of the public lo hosl more pop-up
events.
The opporlunily arose from Grosvenor Shopping Northampton lo have a permanent bgse within the ¢enlre to raise
funds for our work, we were offered a unll In centre as trial for 12 months. Fixtures, fillings and equipment was
supported by Wesl Northamptonshire Gouncil WNSET fund. The unit Officially opened on 21 st J￿lY 2023.
hilst the primary focus ol this is to raise funds and awareness so as a charity, we can provide our packs and
support to 8du1t cancer patients in hospltal, il also has had secondary benefits which we never anticipated when we

support adult c8n¢er patients possible. Both methods have really SUPPDrted the shortfall of funding, donations and
fundiaising that has experienced and has prevented us from having lo reduce our ServI￿S as a result, However,
they have also created wider community benefits and environmental benefits way beyond we could ever have
imagined.
If the momentum ctsntinuès wlh this, for the next financial review we will explore whether we need lo sel up a

continue our activities during the next financial year.
Our ch8riliÈs assets are adequate lo fulfi'l ils financial obligations and we can maintain the existing services we
provide lo our ¢urrenl hospital partnerships without impacting on the quality of the existing service we provid¥. Our
benefi'ciaries are al the forefront of our mind in eveTything we do. Our reserves provide us with se¢ur¢ly that rf no
income was received by our charity, we would have adequate funds lo continue our service for a period of 3
months. Given the uncertainly what the future for charities will look like especially with the cosl-of-living rise, this
provides us with adeqLJale security lo ensure our charity can provide our much-needed support to our beneficiaries.
As a charity we are keen not lo resort lo being in this position and are working on future plans lo avoid us being in a
position wherè we must use our reserve fijnds. 11 is the policy of the chaTily that unrestricted funds which have not
been designated for a specific tjse should be maintained al a level equivalent to belween one-lo-three-monlh
expenditure.
The trustees Consider that reserves al this level will ensure that, in the event of a signifi'cant drop in funding, they will
be able lo continue the charity's current activities while consioferalion is given lo ways in which additional funds may
be raised. This level ol r&serves has been maintained throughoul the year.
