2025** 

The
trustees
present
their
report
and
the
financial
statements
for
the
year
ended
31
May
2025. 

## **Objectives
and
Activities** 

## **Aims
and
Objectives** 

Our
purpose
remains
rooted
in
our
vision
that
no
one
should
have
to
face
cancer
alone.

This
year,

we
have continued
to
support
individuals
and
families
affected
by
cancer
through
every
stage
of
their
journey.

We
refer
to those
at
the
heart
of
our
work
as
Warriors.

They
are
people
of
all
ages
who
are
living
with
a
cancer
diagnosis, recovering
from
treatment,

or
experiencing
the
loss
of
a
loved
one. The
practical
and
emotional
needs
of
our
Warriors
have
remained
at
the
centre
of
all
activity.

Our
team
of
staff and
 volunteers
 have
 delivered
 personalised
 support
 including
 regular
 check‑ins,
 
 counselling,
 
 transport
 to medical
 appointments,
 
 help
 with
 essential
 shopping
 and
 bills,
 
 and
 assistance
 in
 accessing
 equipment
 and services
not
otherwise
available
through
statutory
provision. 

## **Public
Benefit** 

The
Trustees
confirm
that
they
have
referred
to
the
guidance
contained
in
the
Charity
Commission's
general guidance
on
public
benefit
when
reviewing
the
Charity’s
aims
and
objectives
and
in
planning
future
activities. The
Charity’s
primary
objective
is
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
families
affected
by
cancer
in
the
North
East
of England.

To
achieve
this
aim
and
provide
clear
public
benefit,

the
Charity
provides
a
wide
range
of
services designed
to
meet
the
diverse

of

manage
physical
changes, boost
self‑esteem,
and

Transport
Services꞉** Ensuring

and
services,
removing
a significant
barrier
for
vulnerable
individuals. **Provision

essential
mobility
aids
(e.g.,
stairlifts,
wheelchairs,
mobility
scooters) to
enhance
independence
and
quality
of
life. 

- **Support

 Activities꞉** Facilitating
 social
 interaction,
 reducing
 isolation,
 and
 fostering
 a
 supportive community
through
regular
coffee

and

safe,
comfortable,
and
heated
spaces
during
colder
months,
directly addressing
fuel
poverty
and
offering
a
welcoming
environment. **Community
Allotment꞉** Encouraging
 physical
 activity,
 healthy
 eating,
 and
 social
 engagement
 through shared
gardening
activities. 

- **Well‑being
 Initiatives꞉** Organising
 social
 events
 such
 as
 afternoon
 teas,
 family
 meals,
 and
 trips
 to improve
overall
mental
and
social
wellbeing. 

- **Referrals
and
Raising
Awareness꞉** Signposting
beneficiaries
to
other
relevant
services
and
increasing community
awareness

Through
these
activities,
the
Trustees
are
confident
that
the
Charity
provides
a
clear
public
benefit
by
improving health
outcomes,
reducing
isolation,

and
enhancing
the
quality
of
life
for
our
beneficiaries 

The
trustees
confirm
that
they
have
complied
with
the
requirements
of
Section

of
the
Charities
Act
2011
to have
due
regard
to
the
Charity
Commission’s

and
Performance**

Trust Trustees'
Report
(continued) For
The
Year

## **Main
Achievements** 

## **Warrior
Support** 

Our
small
Warrior
Support
team
is
at
the
heart
of
everything
we
do.

They
provide
personalised,
compassionate support
 to
 individuals
 and
 families
 affected
 by
 cancer.
 
This
 includes
 regular
 wellbeing
 check‑ins,
 one‑to‑one counselling,

help
with
transport,

food,

and
household
needs,

and
group
sessions
tailored
to
different
stages and
experiences
of
cancer.

We
work
flexibly
to
meet
people
where
they
are,

offering
practical
help
alongside emotional
care.

Whether
through
our
Hub,

outreach
groups,

or
home
visits,

we
are
there
for
our
Warriors throughout
treatment,

recovery,

and,

when
needed,

in
times
of
bereavement.

No
one
faces
cancer
alone when
they
are
part
of
Team
Solan. 

Creating
 special
 memories
 is
 a
 special
 part
 of
 our
 support
 for
 families
 facing
 cancer,
 
 especially
 when
 time together
may
be
limited.
Throughout
the
year,

we
provide
memory‑making
treats
such
as
family
meals,
day
trips, afternoon
teas,
and
personalised
experiences
that
bring
moments
of
joy
during
difficult
times.

At
Christmas,

we go
even
further,

delivering
festive
food
hampers,

gifts,

decorations,

and
full
Christmas
dinners
to
families
who might
otherwise
struggle.

For
some,
this
may
be
their
last
Christmas
together,

and
we
are
honoured
to
help make
it
as
warm,

meaningful,

and
memorable
as
possible. 

## **The
Hub
Cafe** 

Our
Hub
Cafe
in
Spennymoor
has
grown
into
a
lively
and
welcoming
community
space.
It
continues
to
offer
daily activities
including
coffee
mornings,
art
and
crafts
sessions,
gentle
exercise
classes,
and
drop‑in
support.
During the
colder
months,
our
Welcome
Spaces
provision
has
ensured
that
people
could
access
a
hot
drink,
a
snack, and
a
friendly
face. 

The
 Hub
 Cafe
 has
 also
 become
 a
 venue
 for
 new
 preventative
 health
 and
 wellbeing
 programmes.
 This
 has included cancer awareness sessions, wellbeing meet‑ups, and introductory workshops on self‑care and mindfulness. 

Additionally,
we
have
initiated
a
schedule
of
events
for
Warriors
and
their
families,
delivered
in
our
Hub
Café, these
 have
 included
 a
 St
 Patricks
 Day
 celebration,
 Christmas
 parties,
 Easter
 events,
 pancake
 days,
 school holidays
activities
for
Children
and
more. 

## **The
Wellness
Centre** 

One
of
our
most
significant
achievements
this
year
has
been
the
opening
our
new
Wellness
Centre.
This
has included
the
development
of
our
new
wig,
therapy
and
treatment
rooms,
the
reintroduction
of
holistic
and
beauty therapies,
acupuncture
and
podiatry.
These
improvements
reflect
both
the
changing
needs
of
our
community
and our
desire
to
provide
structured,
inclusive,
and
professionalised
support. 

## **Outreach
Groups** 

Beyond
 Spennymoor,
 we
 have
 continued
 to
 run
 outreach
 groups
 in
 Bishop
 Auckland
 and
 Billingham.
 These groups
provide
essential
social
and
emotional
support
to
people
who
may
be
unable
to
travel.
We
are
actively exploring
new
locations
and
working
with
local
partners
to
ensure
our
services
are
as
accessible
as
possible. 

## **Retail** 

The
 Team
 Solan
 Shop
 remains
 a
 central
 part
 of
 our
 identity
 and
 impact.
 Now
 firmly
 established
 on
 the
 high street,
it
continues
to
perform
well
despite
a
challenging
retail
environment.
The
Superstore
offers
furniture
and clothing
donated
by
our
generous
community
and
plays
a
vital
role
in
supporting
our
charitable
work.
It
creates volunteering
and
work
experience
opportunities
for
those
rebuilding
confidence
after
illness
or
bereavement.
The shop
also
serves
as
a
friendly,
welcoming
first
point
of
contact
and
gateway
to
our
organisation,
often
introducing new
Warriors,
volunteers,
and
supporters
to
our
charity.

## **Additional
Note** 

## **Future
Plans** 

This
year
we
have
developed
five‑year
business
plans
for
both
the
charity
as
a
whole
and
the
retail
business. These
plans
provide
a
structured
roadmap
for
delivery,
sustainability,
and
impact.
The
charity
business
plan
sets out
 our
 intention
 to
 grow
 our
 outreach
 work,
 expand
 the
 Wellness
 Centre
 offer,
 and
 strengthen
 our
 ability
 to support
those
experiencing
bereavement. 

We
recognise
that
some
groups,
including
men
and
younger
people,
may
be
less
likely
to
engage
with
traditional forms
of
support.
To
reach
these
individuals,
we
are
developing
new
approaches
that
reflect
their
interests
and provide
safe,
informal
ways
to
connect.
This
includes
exploring
gardening,
DIY,
music,
film
nights,
songwriting sessions,
fishing
trips,
and
creative,
arts‑based
group
activities.
These
experiences
will
be
designed
not
only
to reduce
isolation
but
to
offer
meaningful
outlets
for
expression,
reflection,
and
peer
connection.
By
diversifying
our offer
in
this
way,
we
hope
to
create
more
inclusive
and
engaging
opportunities. 

The
retail
business
plan
focuses
on
maintaining
a
profitable
and
community‑driven
store
that
also
supports
our charitable
aims.
This
includes
investment
in
volunteer
training,
improved
stock
systems,
and
continued
use
of
the shop
as
a
platform
for
community
fundraising
and
awareness. **Grants
&
Funding** In
 addition
 to
 individual
 donations
 and
 income
 from
 retail,
 we
 have
 secured
 grant
 funding
 from
 a
 range
 of sources
including
The
Sir
James
Knott
Trust,
Awards
for
All,
Point
North
(Formerly
County
Durham
Community Foundation),
The
Hospital
of
God,
The
COSTA
Foundation,
Spennymoor
Town
Council
and
Bishop
Auckland Town
Council.
Our
corporate
partnership
scheme
has
continued
to
develop,
with
local
businesses
offering
both financial
support
and
in‑kind
assistance
such
as
staff
volunteering,
equipment
donations,
and
event
sponsorship. We
would
particularly
like
to
mention
Meldrum
Construction,
and
LEVIs
for
their
financial
and
practical
support over
the
year. 

## **Operations** 

We have strengthened our referral pathways this year. Relationships with GP surgeries, hospital teams, community
 nurses,
 and
 Macmillan
 professionals
 have
 ensured
 that
 more
 people
 are
 being
 signposted
 to
 our services.
 Our
 reputation
 for
 providing
 rapid,
 compassionate,
 and
 bespoke
 personalised
 support
 continues
 to grow. 

Over
the
past
year,
we
introduced
a
new
customer
relationship
management
(CRM)
system
to
strengthen
how we
record,
monitor,
and
respond
to
the
needs
of
our
Warriors,
volunteers,
and
supporters.
This
development marks
an
important
step
forward
in
our
ability
to
track
the
impact
of
our
work,
streamline
internal
processes,
and ensure
that
we
are
making
the
best
possible
use
of
our
time
and
resources.
While
the
rollout
has
brought
some challenges,
as
is
often
the
case
with
new
systems,
our
team
has
shown
great
adaptability.
We
are
now
working to
embed
the
system
into
daily
operations
and
hope
to
see
long‑term
value. 

## **The
Year
Ahead** 

Our
objectives
for
the
coming
year
reflect
the
strategic
priorities
set
out
in
our
new
five‑year
business
plans
and build
on
the
progress
made
over
the
past
twelve
months.
We
will
continue
to
expand
the
range
of
therapies available
 through
 our
 Wellness
 Centre,
 creating
 a
 more
 comprehensive
 and
 accessible
 offer
 that
 meets
 the complex
emotional
and
physical
needs
of
our
Warriors.
We
aim
to
establish
new
outreach
sites
in
underserved areas,
reaching
more
people
who
may
otherwise
struggle
to
access
support.
Strengthening
our
mental
health and
 bereavement
 services
 remains
 a
 focus,
 with
 plans
 to
 continue
 delivering
 tailored
 one‑to‑one
 and
 group support
for
our
Warriors. 

In
line
with
our
commitment
to
long‑term
resilience,
we
are
also
taking
active
steps
to
diversify
our
income.
This includes
maximising
the
potential
of
our
trading
activity
and
deepening
our
relationships
with
funders,
partners, and
donors.
Our
goal
is
to
secure
the
financial
stability
needed
to
protect
our
services
in
the
years
ahead,
without compromising
our
values
or
personal
approach

the
Financial
Statements For
The
Year
Ended
31
May
2025** 

## 1. **General
Information** 

Solan
Connor
Fawcett
Family
Cancer
Trust
is
a
charitable
incorporated
organisation
registered
with
the
Charity Commission,
registered
charity
number
CE009917.
The
principal
address
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)",
Financial
Reporting
Standard
102
"The
Financial
Reporting
Standard applicable
in
the
UK
and
Republic
of
Ireland"
and
the
Charities
Act
2011. 

The
charity
is
a
Public
Benefit
Entity
as
defined
by
FRS
102. 

## 2.2. **Incoming
Resources** 

All
incoming
resources
are
recognised
in
the
Statement
of
Financial
Activities
(SoFA)
when
the
charity
has
a right
to
the
economic
benefit
(entitlement),
it
is
probable
that
the
income
will
be
received,
and
the
amount can
be
measured
with
reasonable
accuracy
(certainty
and
measurement). The
following
specific
policies
are
applied
to
particular
categories
of
income꞉ 

## **a)
Donations
and
Grants** 

Voluntary
income,
including
donations,
grants,
and
gifts,
is
accounted
for
gross
and
recognised
when
the charity
has
an
unconditional
entitlement
to
the
resources. 

- **Unrestricted
grants** (core
funding)
are
credited
to
the
SoFA
upon
receipt
or
when
a
formal
offer
is received
and
the
conditions
for
receipt
within
the
charity's
control
have
been
met. **Restricted
grants** are
recognised
when
the
entitlement
criteria
are
met.
Where
a
grant
is
conditional upon
 performance
 and
 specific
 deliverables,
 it
 is
 accounted
 for
 as
 the
 charity
 earns
 the
 right
 to consideration
 by
 its
 performance.
 Unspent
 funds
 subject
 to
 conditions
 (not
 just
 restrictions)
 are treated
as
deferred
income
on
the
balance
sheet
until
the
conditions
are
met. 

## **b)
Legacies** 

Legacies
are
recognised
when
the
charity
is
notified
of
an
impending
distribution
and
the
amount
can
be quantified
with
reasonable
certainty,
which
is
usually
when
the
charity
has
an
unconditional
entitlement
to
the funds
and
receipt
is
probable
(e.g.,
when
the
final
accounts
of
the
estate
are
approved). 

## **c)
Donated
Services
and
Facilities
(Gifts
in
Kind)** 

Donated
services
and
facilities
with
a
quantifiable
value
that
would
otherwise
be
purchased
are
recognised
in the
SoFA
(both
as
income
and
expenditure)
at
their
value
to
the
charity
where
this
value
can
be
reliably measured.
The
value
of
services
provided
by
volunteers
is
not
included
in
the
accounts
but
is
acknowledged in
the
Trustees'
Annual
Report
due
to
the
difficulties
in
measuring
their
value
reliably. 

## **d)
Income
from
Charitable
Trading
Activities** 

Income
from
events
and
the
sale
of
goods/services
as
part
of
the
charity's
primary
purpose
is
included
in
the SoFA
 when
 earned
 (accrual
 basis).
 All
 incoming
 resources
 are
 reported
 gross,
 and
 associated
 costs
 are shown
as
expenditure. 

## **e)
Investment
Income** 

Investment
income
(e.g.,
dividends,
interest,
and
rent
from
investment
properties)
is
included
in
the
SoFA when
receivable.

Connor
Fawcett
Family

Trust Notes
to
the
Financial
Statements
(continued) For
The
Year
Ended
31
May
2025** 

## 2.3. **Resources
Expended** 

Expenditure
is
accounted
for
on
an
accruals
basis,
which
means
liabilities
are
recognised
as
soon
as
there
is a
legal
or
constructive
obligation
to
transfer
economic
benefit
to
a
third
party,

and
the
amount
can
be
reliably measured. 

All
 expenditure
 is
 reported
 gross
 and
 categorized
 under
 headings
 that
 group
 related
 costs.
 
 When
 costs cannot
be
directly
linked
to
a
specific
activity,
they
are
allocated
based
on
how
the
resources
are
used. 

Key
expenditure
categories
include
Costs
of
Generating
Funds,

Expenditure
on
Charitable
Activities,
and Governance
 Costs.
 
 Governance
 Costs
 are
 considered
 support
 costs
 and
 are
 distributed
 among
 other expenditure
categories.

Grants
payable
are
recognised
when
payment
conditions
are
met
and
the
recipient expects
to
receive
the
funds. 

## 2.4. **Tangible
Fixed
Assets
and
Depreciation** 

Tangible
fixed
assets
are
measured
at
cost
less
accumulated
depreciation
and
any
accumulated
impairment losses.
 Depreciation
 is
 provided
 at
 rates
 calculated
 to
 write
 off
 the
 cost
 of
 the
 fixed
 assets,
 less
 their estimated
residual
value,
over
their
expected
useful
lives
on
the
following
bases꞉ 

Plant
&
Machinery 15%
straight
line Fixtures
&
Fittings 15%
straight
line Computer
Equipment 15%
straight
line 

## 2.5. **Stocks
and
Work
in
Progress** 

Stocks
 and
 work
 in
 progress
 are
 valued
 at
 the
 lower
 of
 cost
 and
 net
 realisable
 value
 after
 making
 due allowance
for
obsolete
and
slow‑moving
stocks. 

Cost
 is
 determined
 using
 the
 first‑in,
 first‑out
 method.
 Cost
 includes
 all
 direct
 costs
 and
 an
 appropriate proportion
of
fixed
and
variable
overheads. 

Work
 in
 progress
 is
 reflected
 in
 the
 accounts
 on
 a
 contract
 by
 contract
 basis
 by
 recording
 turnover
 and related
costs
as
contract
activity
progresses. 

At
the
end
of
each
reporting
period
stocks
are
assessed
for
impairment.
If
an
item
of
stock
is
impaired,
the identified
stock
is
reduced
to
its
selling
price
less
costs
to
complete
and
sell
and
an
impairment
charge
is recognised
 in
 the
 statement
 of
 financial
 activities.
 Where
 a
 reversal
 of
 the
 impairment
 is
 required
 the impairment
 charge
 is
 reversed,
 up
 to
 the
 original
 impairment
 loss,
 and
 is
 recognised
 as
 a
 credit
 in
 the statement
of
financial
activities. 

## 2.6. **Cash
and
Cash
Equivalents** 

Cash
and
cash
equivalents
are
basic
financial
assets
and
include
cash
in
hand
and
deposits
held
at
call
with banks,
other
short‑term
highly
liquid
investments
that
mature
in
no
more
than
three
months
from
the
date
of acquisition
and
are
readily
convertible
to
a
known
amount
of
cash
with
insignificant
risk
of
change
in
value, and
bank
overdrafts.
