CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS
Presented by Mr Jim Robinson
We dissolved CREST as a charity so that its work may be continued as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). CREST registered charity number 1111114 was dissolved in accordance with clause 15 of the charities constitution, with all assets and activities transferred to the new charitable incorporated organisation to be known as CREST Cancer Support CIO charity number 1181505. Changing the charity status has allowed CREST Cancer Support more powers to enable them to make decisions on a day to day running and the future services and plans CREST Cancer Support may make on behalf of the members.
This has made no difference to the day-to-day work of the charity. The Trustees consider that the work of CREST Cancer Support is more effectively progressed with the new structure of a CIO.
CIO is governed by the charity trustees, but with a wide membership of volunteers and other members who will have the right to vote at future AGMs and similar meetings. The CIO Constitution states that all members of the existing “CREST” charity will be members of the CIO from the day when it is formed – so no one will lose their membership through this change. Under charity law all members of the CIO have a duty to support its charitable aims when taking decisions in relation to the CIO. However if any existing member does not wish to be a member of the CIO, please let us know.
On a closing note
CREST Cancer Support is run by inspirational, highly committed volunteers, who are easily accessible to all our members and other volunteers. We still continue to have an open door policy which has worked well. We develop and motivate all our volunteers and members. We must have a person centred approach to volunteering and match their expectations to the work they do for CREST Cancer Support.
We must always realise that we are a voluntary organisation and count on volunteers heavily to run the charity. We must all make a conscious effort to inform everyone that CREST Cancer Support is run solely by volunteers. We must also continue to recruit volunteers and retain them and the Complementary Therapists we need to support our work.
