ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
Duffus Cancer Foundation (DCF) is a charitable organisation which first met as a committee on 30th January 2017 and registered as a charity on 11th July 2017. It is governed by its constitution as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
Organisational Structure
The Board of Trustees meets monthly and monitors financial performance and strategic planning. The Youth Steering Group, which consists of young people (accessing/who have accessed our service) and young volunteers, meets quarterly. Other ad-hoc sub-committees are formed as required.
Staffing
During this period, DCF continued to have four paid part-time youth workers working on the Croydon Right Track School Programme. In addition to this, we had a part time Acting CEO leading on strategy and one staff member leading on communication across DCF.
In our community programmes, we had five part-time youth workers and ten volunteers who supported with group sessions, marketing, events and social media. We had one person on a week-long work experience and we also paid for ad-hoc support from a film-maker.
Responsibilities
The responsibilities for fulfilling objectives as a registered charity fall on the DCF Board of Trustees, as outlined above.
Staff/Volunteer Induction and Training
All new staff and volunteers undertake the Induction and Training programme. Existing staff/volunteer training requirements are reviewed via Planning Meetings and 121s/Supervision sessions.
Trustees are also encouraged to have any additional training as is relevant to their roles and requirements. In 2022 we had two trustees step down.
Risk Management
All major risks are identified and reviewed by Trustees on a monthly/bi-monthly basis. During this process, systems and procedures are put in place to manage any risk.

RIGHT TRACK SCHOOL PROGRAMME

Over the year of 2022, we worked with 301 young people in a mixture of Croydon Primary and Secondary schools.
We developed our sessions based on the needs of the students and included additional topics such as communication.
81% of the pupils we worked with showed an improvement in their wellbeing following the
programme. 100% fed back that they enjoyed the sessions and found them useful.
In addition to the workshops, we worked with 15 young people providing a series of 121 befrienders, supporting them to better understand their emotions, target set and take steps to improve their wellbeing.

WORK EXPERIENCE
This year we took on a work experience candidate for 5 days through 'Changing Education'. Our candidate, Alex, did an amazing job and contributed to creating two wellbeing videos on our YouTube channel and supporting our school's team and communications lead in delivering the service that we provide.
Here are some comments from Alex:
''I have really enjoyed the past week at DCF, it has all been a very new experience for me. I am able to walk away having learnt new skills.”
“My favourite moment was when I joined the 121 session at Ecclesbourne Primary School as it was like nothing I had done before. It felt good walking away from something knowing that it may have helped someone.”

CASE STUDY:
"
My daughter was first introduced to DCF, through a school participation project called Right Track.
She took part in all the sessions and thoroughly enjoyed taking part. She also extended how lovely, kind, and friendly the facilitators were.
At the end of the project, she was really sad that they were coming to an end because she was having so many challenges fitting in at school and her self-esteem and confidence were very low. I could see that participating in the project was having a positive impact on her overall well-being.
Thankfully, we made contact with Helen (communications lead) to partake in other activities DCF has to offer. I got in touch and Helen had an exuberant personality that I loved, and know that my daughter needs people like this in her life.

CASE STUDY CONT.
"
My daughter has since taken part in the young person session every month and thoroughly looks forward to every session. When a new month comes in she would be excited because she knows that she will be going to DCF. Recently, she mentioned that it would be nice to have more than one session per month. She has participated in the outings being held by the team, which also helps her to make friends and have fun.
Thanks to the DCF input, it’s evident to see my daughter has started growing in confidence through group participation/ outings. Her self-esteem has improved greatly. She can have funwhich has enhanced her mental health and well-being.
Thank you to the team for making this all so possible. I hope in the future when the opportunity arises, she will be able to give back to the foundation.
Continue to impart and impact young people's lives. We appreciate all that you do.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Income
Income was via funding sources including fundraising events and donations from supporters and organisations. General donations were down 29% from £7.8k to £5.4k, to address this issue the Charity is looking for alternative funding sources to help increase this in future years. Furthermore, charitable grants were also down in the year by 98%, from £20.3k to £0.5k. This is due to a number of long term grants finishing in the year, including those from BBC Children in Need and The National
Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF). However the Charity has been working on a number of new grant applications, one from TNLCF which will start in 2023 and is for a further 5 years. The Charity continues to operate its 3-year contract
supporting wellbeing in schools in the Croydon borough, income from this increased in the year by 13% from £33.3k to £37.7k. This is due to Croydon Council being in a position where they could return the funding to the full agreed level. Further details are shown in the annual accounts.
Expenditure
Expenditure in the accounts is grouped under fundraising activities and charitable activities, however most of the fundraising work continues to be completed by Trustees without incurring expenses. Other expenses have risen year on year, this is primarily due to salary costs which were up 27% from £45.3k to £57.7k. This is due to an increased role for the Communications Lead and due to having a full year of the part time CEO role. Beyond this, costs have been tightly controlled in the year with most costs falling year on year. Additionally, there was a one off return of funds of £3.9k which was due to underspend on a project because of the pandemic.
Net movement in funds
The Charity’s net funds have decreased from £52,821 in 2021 to £20,742 in 2022. Of these funds £6.8k are restricted and £13.9k are unrestricted (2021; £37.5k restricted, £15.3k unrestricted). This fall in funds, despite being significant, was entirely expected. Through the pandemic the Charity was unable to deliver its services in the normal way, which resulted in a build up of funds. When they were able to operate in a normal way the Charity went back to delivering the services in a normal way and utilised the funds available. The Trustees are mindful that they need to build reserves to ensure consistency of service delivery through the current challenging macroeconomic environment. Details in the movements of restricted funds are detailed in the annual accounts.
