Summary of the objects of the

The main concept b8hind Red Trouser Day was an events
infrastructure to allow patients and their close family members lo feel
positive about the health pathway they are enduring.11 allows
patients to connecl with other like minded people who have
successfully recovered from the disease. This works, with individual
events like GeofFs Golf Day, Paul s Curry Night, and Julia's Tate
odem Art Walk.
Summary ofthe main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
those objects (include within
this section the ststutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guldanca
Issued by the Charity
Commission on publlc
benefrt)
The regular annual flagship event a Golf & Ramble Day, was held
successfully for a sixlh tim6 which made a profit of just over £7.000.
Every everrt promotes awareness of the S￿nplOmS of bowel cancer
and encourages people to be vigilant in their own health review. We
often have clinicians speaking at our events, sharing the latest n8WS
in research development and what they are hoping to achieve.

> RTD provi(ied more funding to extend the mASCAFiA project.
the first intémational registry for a rare fomi of Anal Canc8r.
This extension allowed the team to mak8 an SLrffici8nt progress
in orderforthem Io s8oJre some tong term funding to keep the
proj8Ct going and use the valuable data acquired in the
treabnent ofAnal Cancer with HPF virus particularly a problem
for women.
> The Genetic D8t8miinants of Radio-resistance in Redal
Cancer, a ￿Sea￿h project looktng al why some patients
benefft from radio therapy and olhers don't. This project has
continued and we are now awailing to hear about some
progress.
The Charity held a Bursary Competition and awarded
£12.000 to a student at the University of the City of London lo
look at using lighl based lechnology for earlier detection. Th8
project mad8 some major progress and indicated it was
feasible lo see thru skin tissue to identify possible tumors.
The team at the University are hoping to secure more funding
from other sources to hopefully create a new camera bas8d
clinical device.
During 2023 the Charity fom)ed a relationship with a research team based
at Imperial Iled by some very senior clinicians from the Royal Marsden l&
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital) who are looking into improving
education of primary care clinicians through the use of Technology Too15
using Al IArttficial Intelligen￿1, Haptic (touch based) and Virtual Reality.
Red Trouser Day made a grant to help the project move forward whilst ihe
Team searched for larger funds to make the concept a reality. The toolset
has been named DiRect (digital rectal examination training). Some
members of the board have Spent quite a bit of time helping the Imperial
Team to build a professional business case for substantial funding. This
project has been adopted for now as a strategic focus.
Conversations have been held at the Ipswich & Colchester
Hospitals to build a naw r818tionship with ESNEFT (East
Suffolk & North Essex Foundation Trust) owing to the recent
r81ocation of the Founders. During 2024 we are expecting to
develop the relationship into a sirnilar one to that of the Royal
Marsdèn.
> In addition to these research projects. RTD have been
advocates of two other projects:
Imaging to Individualisèd and Strategised Patient
Personalis8d Care Programme
Project Robin, looking al the knowledge gap on how
patients react to radiotherapy.
Red Trouser Day would like to thank all clinicians for their ongoing
su
