Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)	The objects of Red Trouser Day are: The preservation and protection of good health and relief of sickness in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer for the public benefit by: (a) Increasing awareness of colorectal cancer and its symptoms across the population in the UK; (b) Funding leading diagnostic and treatment research into colorectal cancer, where there is a shortfall in other funding sources, or where pioneering research cannot be funded by other sources, and publishing the useful results of that research in order to: (i) Increase the level of early diagnosis and early treatment; (ii) Improve treatment outcomes (iii) Improve the experience of patients, families and friends, reducing their anxiety, helping them feel in control with increased hope, from diagnosis, through treatment and post treatment.
	During 2022 as we emerged from the restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic, Red Trouser Day in person events restarted. The main concept behind Red Trouser Day was an events infrastructure to allow patients and their close family members to feel positive about the health pathway they are enduring. It allows patients to connect with other like minded people who have successfully recovered from the disease. This works, with individual events like Julie’s Zumba Party, Tony’s Deal Ramble, and Julia’s Tate Modern Art Walk. The regular annual flagship event a Golf & Ramble Day, was held successfully for a fifth time which raised a healthy £10,000. Every event promotes awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer and encourages people to be vigilant in their own health review. Projects funded during 2022 for the public benefit (a full summary report on each project is available on request) but in summary active projects are: Research Projects: RTD provided more funding to extend the mASCARA project, the first international registry for a rare form of Anal Cancer The Genetic Determinants of Radio-resistance in Rectal Cancer, a research project looking at why some patients benefit from radio therapy and others don’t. RTD launched a bursary competition which resulted in a PHD research student winning £14,000 to look at using light based technology for earlier detection.
