Achievements and Performance
Bosom Family Support is a well attended support group in Bottesford, Scunthorpe. The group also runs Bosom Belles (choir) and a children’s group called Liferafts. The Liferafts group specifically supports children who have ill family members.
In September 2019 Bosom Family Support opened Hope House, with the group taking over the running of the house in May 2019. The main focus of the House becoming a survivorship hub, which allows our groups to reach out to even more people by having its own base. The house is normally used most evenings during the week, and opens daily, with the house being well supported by all the community. During this financial year, Hope House has been well supported by the community and events held. Constantly adapting to meet the needs of our families, year on year we add other much needed support and activities. During the year there were successful events, a Golf Day, a Ball, weekly online quizzes, bingo nights, boot sale and craft fayre. Most importantly the support given to individuals increased dramatically, with the new house allowing the group, to provide individuals undergoing cancer treatment to have holistic treatments, and to provide more counselling services. Since the opening of Hope House, we have had approximately 2500 people through the doors at Hope House, we have provided over 200 hours of counselling to individuals affected by cancer and their children. Taken the young children away for a residential visit to Tattershall lakes. We have provided 120 treatments to people undergoing treatment for cancer. Distributed 1500 heart shaped cushions and 100 drain bags to local hospitals. The house has become a hub for activities, Yoga, Flower Arranging, Art, Felt Making, Card Making, Mindfulness Groups, all different ways of bringing cancer patients together. We continue to deliver meals weekly across North Lincolnshire to families affected by cancer, and this year sent families on weekends a way to a flat in Scarborough.This year has exceeded all expectations, and I know we are all very proud of our achievements.

Independent Examiners Report
I report to the trustees of Bosom Family Support on the examination of the accounts for Year Ending 31[st] December 2021
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records;
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
