Achievements and performance
Review of activities
The Charity continues to provide a wide range of practical, emotional and financial support to Warriors who have been impacted by a cancer diagnosis or bereavement as well as support to their families.
Warrior support
The Warrior support function provides bespoke support to the Warriors and their immediate families throughout their cancer journey as we are aware that every warrior has a different need and a different set of circumstances. The Charity operates a telephone support service where warriors receive regular calls from our Warrior Coordinators and monthly/weekly support groups which are to check on their well-being.
Other services such as counselling, holistic therapy, one-to-one support, and wig services are key to providing support to warriors and these services have helped with the warriors wellbeing and mental health. Warrior support also facilitates all warrior requests, for example, patient transport, tradesmen, cleaners, social activities and help with utilities and groceries.
Retail outlet
The Charity currently operates one retail outlet based in Spennymoor which sells donated items and charity branded merchandise. We also use this facility where required to supply Warriors with additional furniture and clothing free of charge. This outlet also allows the charity to support volunteers and warriors by offering them part time roles both paid and voluntary in order to grow their self-confidence and potentially learn new skills so that they can begin to rebuild their lives and move forward.
Team Solan Superstore
In February 2023 the Furniture store and the Boutique were merged to form one “Superstore”. The new Superstore was set up in the existing Furniture store which was located in a prominent position on Spennymoor High Street. The Superstore sells a number of goods, Furniture, Men’s, Ladies & Children’s Clothing, Electrical goods, Bric a brac, Books, DVD’s, Videos etc. The shop is stocked purely on donations of goods from members of the public and corporate partnerships. The shop is staffed by 20 members of staff both volunteers and paid staff with a ratio of 90% being volunteers and 50% being Warriors. The current Manager is one of our Warriors who has benefitted from the full support of the charity during her own cancer journey and now she is one of the paid members of staff.
Support Hub
The Hub opened in August 2021.This has enabled the charity to offer support groups for Warriors who can take part in a range of activities including craft sessions, participate in exercise classes and join in coffee mornings. The Charity continues to hold regular events & Activities including film nights, bingo, quizzes, Themed events, and Easter egg hunts. The Hub has also been made available to other charities and community groups including NHS, MacMillan, Warm Spaces, and Man Health. In addition, the Hub can also be used as a events/meeting facility for our corporate, community and charity partners.
Grants & Funding
Throughout the year the Charity has applied for and received grants from local Area Action Partnerships, in Spennymoor and Ferryhill, Durham Community Action Team, Various Town Councils, and Awards for All. The Charity has also received funding from locally based businesses including Aldi, and M&S, Sainsburys. We have also continued the “Warm Spaces” initiative in the Hub, the allotment and kitchen and IT equipment required to run the Charity.
Donations
The Charity has received donations from sponsorships and businesses supporting the Charity. In addition to donations from individuals and third-party fund-raising events, the charity has continued to grow its partnership database and has launched a new corporate sponsorship scheme.
Referrals
Referrals are received daily from a wide range of sources that include Macmillan, GP practices, hospitals, self-referral, other charitable organisations, support organisations and charity partners. The development of relationships with all the mentioned help promote awareness amongst employees who may know someone or have a family member diagnosed with cancer which could lead to an increase in referrals.
Partnerships
Raising awareness is a key priority for the Charity and we do this through various activities, events, social media and our website. The Charity also engages with GP surgeries, hospitals, hospices and other cancer-related organisations including Macmillan. The Charity is constantly trying to build new partnerships and relationships with other cancer charities and organisations who operate throughout our catchment area and beyond. The Charity has also developed partnerships with local
builders and tradespeople to provide essential support services for families including gardening, cleaning, decorating, provision of equipment including stair lifts, mobility scooters, downstairs beds which all to help to support Warriors and families struggling with a cancer diagnosis and its associated problems. The Charity continues to work with businesses and organisations to support both Warriors and the day-to-day operation of the Charity. The charity has also launched a new “Corporate Partnership Scheme” which gives businesses a number of ways to support the charity.
Review of aims and objectives for the 2022/23 year :
The Charity will continue to seek to increase Warrior numbers as the demand grows.
The charity has increased the number of partners in the healthcare sector. This has also included reaching out to schools, Colleges and businesses to raise awareness of the services that the charity offers.

Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 May 2023
1. General Information
The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and was incorporated on 09 May, registered number CE009917. The registered office is 26-28 High Street, Spennymoor, Co Durham, DL16 6DB.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Government grants
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of Financial Activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
2.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.8 Debtors
Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and monies held on deposit.
2.10 Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.11 Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements
