## Chair’s Review
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Welcome to the 2024/25 _Cabaret vs Cancer_ Annual Report.
It’s with massive pride that I look back on another incredible year, where **Cabaret vs Cancer** made a difference to the life of so many people.
Over the past 12 months, we’ve awarded more than **£50,000 in grants** to our partner organisations—funding vital projects such as a new blood fridge for stem cell charity Anthony Nolan, and providing respite breaks for families across the South East. The grants we provide life-changing support which is made possible through your support.
Our progress is only possible because of **you** —our passionate volunteers, generous supporters, and tireless collaborators. Whether you've donated, performed, shared our story, or helped behind the scenes, your contribution has driven everything we’ve achieved this year.
Looking ahead, **2026 marks our 10th anniversary** , and we’re already dreaming big. We want to make it a truly special year—one that honours the incredible journey we’ve been on and celebrates everything we’ve achieved together. Most importantly, we want to mark this milestone by reaching even more people and making an even greater impact.
Thank you for making Cabaret vs Cancer everything that it is and the difference that we can make, we look forward to celebrating our 10th birthday with you.

## Report of the Trustees
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025. The financial statements comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 1993 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
## Structure, Governance and Management
Cabaret vs Cancer operates as a Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. We have been operating as a registered charity since June 2016.
## Trustees
At any one time there must be a minimum of three charity Trustees. There has been no change in our Board of Trustees and in line with our constitution there is no remuneration paid to Trustees.
If any of the Trustees step down from the Board, a recruitment and selection process for a new Trustee will take place. Future Trustees will be required to serve a 6-month probationary period. This allows the new Trustee and the existing Trustees the opportunity to evaluate their decision. On completion of the probationary period the position will be confirmed for a period of 3 years, which may be renewable, by mutual agreement.
6
## Decision Making
The Board of Trustees meet and consult regularly; they hold ultimate responsibility for the Charity. It agrees the strategy and direction of the charity and confirms grant donations and key financial issues. Day to day management and administration of Cabaret vs Cancer is delegated to the Chair of the Board of Trustees, in the role of Chief Executive Officer. The charity has no employees.
## Objectives and Activities
Over the period of these accounts Cabaret vs Cancer awarded grants which met the Charity’s overarching purpose.
## The purposes of the charity
- To **advance** such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the Trustees see fit from time to time but not limited to the relief of sickness and the preservation and protection of good health by:-
- advancing the research, treatment, care and rehabilitation of persons suffering from cancer; and
- by **making grants and awards to cancer** charities and children under the age of 16, who have lost parents to cancer.
## Contribution made by volunteers
Our nationwide network of Ambassadors and supporters is the heartbeat of _Cabaret vs Cancer_ . From collecting donations and organising events to supporting the Board of Trustees as we grow, their efforts are vital in expanding our reach.
Every event we produce depends on the incredible dedication of our volunteers—both **on stage and behind the scenes** . From dazzling drag queens to West End singers, international burlesque stars to elite circus performers, it’s their time, talent, and generosity that make our work possible.
A special thank you also goes to the **Royal Vauxhall Tavern** and our Patron **Dave Cross** , who continue to stage fantastic fundraising events including themed quizzes, Kate Bush cabaret, and the ever-popular _May the Fierce Be With You_ Star Wars extravaganza.
This year, we were honoured to be invited to take part in a special night of cabaret and laughter in memory of **Trixi Tassels** —a much loved, and much missed, burlesque performer.
In July 2024, beloved venue **Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club** closed its doors. We were proud to support its epic send-off with a fundraising raffle.
7
**Gallifrey Cabaret,** Doctor Who–themed cabaret raised **OUT OF THIS WORLD** amounts in 2025/26, over **£4,000** , with some match funding secured in December 2024.
The _Cabaret vs Cancer_ volunteers are everywhere: selling raffle tickets front of house, performing on stage, or working tirelessly behind the scenes. We are humbled by their commitment to the charity.
To all our volunteers— **thank you** . We can’t do this without you.

## Grants Awarded
## Dragonfly Cancer Trust
Our grants to Dragonfly Cancer Trust provide support to siblings of children with cancer, and those to losing a close relative with cancer, with a focus on memory boxes.
Grants have enabled enhancement of the contents and presentation of these boxes and special gifts.
_"I remember the cuddly toy that was in there with the voice recorder in it. L has 2 nieces and a nephew who would have been 6, 3 and 1. I remember our intentions were for L to record a message but that was really difficult each time we tried. It was really upsetting so we got a really close friend to record part of one of his favourite songs from Toy story. L wanted a certain part which was from the song You Got a Friend in Me. The children still have them and it is always lovely when they hear it playing on something and say this is on the teddy from uncle L. E, who is the oldest, tells everyone her uncle L got her Teddy to sing that for her. The little ones are so proud of them. These teddies give them so much comfort and they always love telling the story behind them.”_

## St Joseph’s Hospice
Our grants continue to build on the work of previous years and the ongoing improvements and embedding of the Elephant Kits.
- Elephant Kits have been provided to children and their families, which - along with additional resources being distributed via reception and activities trolleys such as family games, information and Hospice passports
- Hospice staff teams and volunteers across the hospice have received interactive training sessions, are now aware of the kit and how to refer
- The content of the kits has been improved, making it more adaptable, interactive, fun, and easier for children to play with or without supervision
- Elephant Kit introductions and troubleshooting sessions for staff who work with families - including the Social Work team, doctors and nurses on the wards, our reception team, and day hospice staff.
- Posters and leaflets which are now up around the Hospice, reminding staff how to refer to the kit.
- Produced information about the kit and shared this via St Joseph’s Hospice’s intranet and -
- website (see https://www.stjh.org.uk/the -
- elephant kit/)
- Increased awareness of the kit through a visual presence across the Hospice, making the Hospice feel much more child-friendly.
## Anthony Nolan
We have purchased a blood fridge for the new Stem Cell Centre in Nottingham for Anthony Nolan, this will ensure the staff storage of life saving stem cells.
The fridge can hold up to 6 stem cell samples at once, safely storing both the cells and any related blood samples after testing. This secure fridge has a digilock and a temperature monitoring system with alerts, keeping the cells in ideal condition until a personal courier transfers them to the patient or researcher. Its secure storage ensures we meet all safety and regulatory standards, making it essential for the center - without these fridges, the cells would not be able to survive the journey to the patient.
The fridges will be permanent additions to the centre and will last for many years - receiving annual maintenance to ensure they are working well and meeting all the specifications.

## OUTPatients
This incredible charity provides support to the LGBTQ+ community when dealing with cancer diagnosis, aftercare and support.
## Cancer Care
We were approached by Cancer care, Cumbria, who were looking for a grant of £3,000 to provide food and supplies for their after-school club.

## Financial Overview
## Income
Overall, the income trends have remained stable, however it remains a very challenging time for small charities, and we value every donation we get. The trends seem to be broadly following a pattern, and we will continue to monitor with the Board.
A few key points in relation to 24/25
- The Fire Walk brought in significant amount of money from sponsorship
- Facebook birthday fundraisers have reduced in value and having an impact on returns to the charity
- Online auctions continue to raise a sizable and predictable income, postage fees increase, and are passed onto the auction winner
- As live events struggle to gain attendees, and global events take priority raffle income has decreased overall

## Expenditure
Administrative costs can be attributed to the need to buy auction lots and use these for profit and raise income, during this cost-of-living crisis it is harder to get free donations from makers and creators, however auction bids start and raise more than price paid so the charity is still raising money.
Our David Bowie online shop continues to produce steady profit, we have also opened accounts with wholesale suppliers to ensure that we are buying auction and raffle prizes at the lowest price, enabling maximum profit. We are also able to take advantage of wholesale prizes to stock other licensed items such as Bowie socks.
19
The trend of postage increases this year; however all auction winners and shoppers pay for insured shipping. All parcels are shipped fully insured to protect the charity from financial loss due to transit issues, and claims from the Royal Mail have all been successful.
## Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy that highlights key risks. This strategy indicates the principal risk the charity faces is financial stability due to a decline in donations.
## Plans for the Future
The Trustees’ overarching intention is that Cabaret vs Cancer should continue to provide grants in line with our purpose; supported by our fundraising community and to the benefit of others. ➢ 2026 is our 10[th] Birthday and we are looking to take on some PR support to maximise the milestone
- ➢ To ensure the health of the charity in a climate of global financial uncertainty; with a realistic annual income target of £50,000.
- ➢ Hold regular auctions with the support of our community, look at the use of Ebay for small one-off auctions, by exception.
- ➢ Continue to explore new revenue streams and income generation ideas, including the use of wholesale purchases for stock
- ➢ Continue to develop key relationships and support those affected by cancer
As the cost-of-living crisis continues, and the impact of the global world economy, we expect the current trend to continue. However, our grants can go to those who most need our support and are making an impact.

## Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The 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 state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources 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 accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained 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 business.
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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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 declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above.

## Independent Examiner’s Report
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an Independent Examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Accounting Technicians
## It’s my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of the 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those set out in the statements below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act and;
- ▪ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **8 TRUSTEE REMUNERATION**
None of the Trustees received remuneration or reimbursed expenses during the year.
## **9 GOING CONCERN**
In common with a number of charities of similar size, Cabaret vs Cancer’s ability to continue is a going concern for the foreseeable future, and depends on its ability to secure grants and donations.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and the trustees believe no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have therefore concluded that it remains appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
