CANCER CARE DIASPORA TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
The trustees have the pleasure to present their report and the unaudited financial statement of the charity for the period ended 30[th] June 2021.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Cancer Care Diaspora is a registered charity and is governed by the trust deed dated February 26, 2017 . The Charity was registered as charity with the Charity Commission on June 13, 2018. Trustees retire from office at each Annual General Meeting and are auromatically eligible for re-election. An election is held with Trustees required to receive a simple majority of those present to be elected. New trustees with the necessary skills to contribute to the charity’s management and development are nominated by members of the board of Trustees, interviewed by a panel and appointed by a resolution taken by the trustees. When new trustees are appointed they are given an introduction to the work of the Charity and provided with the information they need to fulfil their roles, which includes information about the role of trustees and charity law.
The Board of Trustees administers the charity, meeting . The Chief Executive is appointed by the trustees to manage the day to day operations of the charity, reporting on the performance against the strategic plans of the establishment.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees consider the risk affecting the Charity and its activities as part of its short and long term planning procedures. These are renewed regularly and plans amended accordingly to mitigate those risks. The Risk Register we have created helps us consider the level of risk being faced and to reduce the higher risks to a level acceptable to Cancer Care Diaspora governing body. In assessing risk, the trustees recognise that some areas of our work require the acceptance and management of risk if our key objectives are to be achieved.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the charity are for public benefit:
- To advance the wellbeing of the the local community
2.To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the trustees from time to time may think fit; and
3.To advance the welfare of the community the trustees from time to time may think fit.
The trustees' objectives for each year are determined by reference to the overall objects.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
We continued to provide support for the African community during the corona virus pandemic with grant received from the National Lottery Community Fund from April to October 2020.
In October 2020, we received a grant of £49,394 from The National Lottery Community Fund to continue to provide much needed support in the African community adversely affected by the pandemic.
We delivered over 300 food parcels during that time to over 40 families spread all over Manchester and some parts of Scotland. We paid staff and supported 15 volunteers to deliver food parcels to these families while we carried out a lot of publicity and online campaigns to encourage people to stay at home, wear face coverings if they go out and keep generally safe out in the communities. We also received £2000 from We love MCR charities to deliver healthy cooked meals to our service users for a period of 6months and a further £5000 from Forever Manchester in March 2021 to engage our community online in exercise and online cooking discussions/ support group to encourage a healthy lifestyle and prevent loneliness among service users who mostly live alone especially during the National Lockdown.
We also paid monthly rent for our office space and monthly mail box rental.
Manchester city council gave us a grant of £2000 in April 2021 for corona virus public health messaging publicity and in June 2021 we received £5,418 from Macmillan charity to resume face to face support group meetings in the community, provide our service users with healthy packed lunch when they attend meetings and for personal protective equipment and cleaning resources while we learn to live with the corona virus as safe as we can.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Voluntary unrestricted income totalled £3,520 (2020 was £3,268) and has been achieved through the efforts of the trustees. The significant inadequacy in income has allowed us to review our income generating activities and our out-going operations to relieve financial hardship on the organisation. The charity did receive a grant of £56,394 (2020 was £44,472) to promote cancer Care in the year under review. Moving forward, we have to established gift aid management to enhance future incoming activities by engaging our accountants to help with a well established process of making the gift aid claims. It is expected that the financial position will increase over the subsequent years. Also, the charity is pursuing strict budgetary and prudent ways of reducing the cost of running the charity.
It is the Trustees objective to build up sufficient reserves to cover one year's expenditure. In the Trustees opinion, it will take a number of years to achieve this objective. - 5 -

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
As in previous years, we will continue to build our capacity for spiritual, numerical and financial growth in furtherance of the above objectives. The Leadership will carry regular reviews and where appropriate make necessary improvements in our activities and services in our bid to offer more tailor-made activities and services that will suit our members' needs.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The trustees (who are also the directors of CCD for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity Commission law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable organisation for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Volunteers
The Trustees and members of CCD would like to thank all the volunteers for their weekly sacrifice to make our community organisation a home indeed.

CANCER CARE DIASPORA NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
Independent Examiner's Report to the members of CCD Trustees
To the trusees and members of Cancer Care Diaspora with Charity number 1178766.I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 9.
The members of the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met.
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
