Purposes and Aims:

Our charity’s purpose is to:

Benefit members of the public living with cancer who are having or have had treatment for their disease
Make the lives of cancer patients easier by sending them a bag of luxury treats, chosen to mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy and other cancer treatments

The aims of our charity are to reach as many cancer patients as possible in the UK, to make their lives more comfortable. Also to create an easy way for patients’ friends and family to show their support.

We send out by post or hand over in person beautiful “Treatment Bags” which are linen bags filled with luxury relevant treats aimed to help mitigate the side effects of treatment for cancer.

Structure:

The charity is managed day to day by three volunteers from an office in Somerset, UK.

Bags can be ordered through the company website www.treatmentbag.co.uk

The trustees spend their time:

approaching companies to see if they would like to donate relevant goods for the bags – either for free or at ‘trade’ price
wrapping items and assembling bags
giving out and posting bags

During the year, there were three main wrap days, where fifteen unpaid volunteers met to wrap the contents of the bags.

The trustees have regular meetings to discuss the management of the charity.

Management:

The day to day running of the charity involves marketing, managing bag requests and donations, distributing bags by post and by hand.

We give up some free bags each month to other cancer-related charities - Something to Look Forward to, and The Cancer Club, a charity set up specifically for men with cancer.

This year we have given:

x7 bags to Ellie’s Friends (until it closed in April 2021) x23 bags to Something To Look Forward To

x36 bags to The Cancer Club

This year we have also given x30 free bags to Yeovil NHS Hospital

Bags are also offered once monthly free through social media (Instagram and Facebook).

Fund raising:

Funds have been raised by:

a) private individuals making private donations
b) private individuals completing sponsored activities
c) private individuals ordering bags for their friends/family

Expenditure:

Expenses are postage, packaging, goods for the bags as well as printed materials, cost of the running of the website and commission fees to Paypal and Stripe.

Achievements:

During the third year of trading the charity was able to send out and give away 197 bags (267 last year) – 178 Original Bags, 86 Man Bags and 49 Mini Bags.

Objectives:

Our objectives remain the same - to reach many more cancer patients in the coming months, to give away more bags to the NHS for free and to . raise our profile so more people get to hear about Treatment Bag
