TTOBs was founded in 2019 by Natasha Moore And Rachael Jordan to deliver holistic, emotional and practical support to ladies in Staffordshire when they have received a cancer diagnosis. This pastoral support has now been extended to the Burton and New Cross Hospital too.
In 2019 Rachael and Natasha laid out their 5 year plan with objectives for the organisation. The charity is now in its 4[th] year and the Trustees are delighted of the continuous progress made by all in delivering on that plan and are confident that TTOBs will continue to further grow and develop.
The lived experience of this organisation’s Trustees, Committee members and Volunteers is used to identify opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the local women that approach us for help; each of whom are on their own individual and unique cancer journey.
During 2022 it was identified by the members of the group who have secondary cancers, that they would like an additional group facilitating to address/discuss their different holistic needs. With this feedback, the TTOB secondary group was created. The TTOB secondary group holds a monthly get together which is also very well attended. The members of this group also attend the main monthly meetings and events. This additional group demonstrates the charities commitment to further improve the lives of our members.
March 2023 saw the second TTOB ball take place at the County Show ground. Sarah Peter did a phenomenal job in facilitating the event for a 2[nd] time and an astonishing 26k was raised on the evening. This event was a fantastic evening and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended. The trustees would like to thank the volunteers on the evening for all their help ensuring the evening went smoothly. Following on from this success the third ball has been booked for March 2024.
The charity has a very close working relationship with the local hospital and its staff. It has come to life that the hospital unit would hugely benefit from having a portable ultrasound machine and a family room for the Breast Care Unit. Conversations are taking place between the hospital, committee members and Trustees to negotiate a donation.
As mentioned in the previous Trustee AGM report, there are still challenges that remain.
Wellbeing services are still underutilised even though these are regularly promoted at all monthly meetings. Moving forward, In October we will see the first weekend group retreat being held. With this event being a group gathering, we are hoping that the members will take up this retreat. This will be a fantastic opportunity for the ladies to enjoy some much deserved rest and recuperation and we look forward to hearing all about it.
The finances of the organisation ended 2022 in an even stronger position from the year previous at just over 34k. The financial management of these funds continues to be supervised competently according to the requirements placed upon us as Trustees. The day to day operational costs of the Charity still remained very modest in 2022, even with the charity expanding their geographical reach to the other extended areas of Staffordshire.
Looking forward to the year ahead, there are a number of well thought out monthly meetings, special events and social gatherings that have been planned. We Trustees would like to thank the SRUFC for their continued generosity and support in allowing the TTOB to use the clubhouse for their events.
