0UR INCEPTION

I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR.

“During the colonoscopy, he took several biopsies. I eyed the screen suspiciously. One did not have to be a medical genius to notice the huge blockage in my colon. The doctor couldn’t even get the camera past it.” “Let’s go back to my room,” he said somberly. “We’ll talk there.”

I was in my vibrant 30s, a young energetic mother and wife, when I received the diagnosis that turned my life into shambles. Stage 4 colon cancer. I journeyed through my illness with fear, pain and loneliness.

No one should have to experience the pain of battling an illness all alone. In 2018, finally in remission, I founded Lev Chaim, taking my hard experience and using it to support others.

lev chaim is in a living, beating heart. we are there for cancer patients both practically and emotionally; providing assistance with the staggering financial needs, medical advocacy, and perhaps the most meaningful - a shoulder for them to cry on. lev chaim is there for patients throughout their rocky journey to bring some light into their darkness.

In 2023, we helped 19 cancer patients, 66 family members, and made 350 referrals.

Our mission to relieve financial burdens and alleviate suffering has been successful. Lev Chaim remains dedicated to helping cancer patients emerge from their cancer experience with renewed resilience and a sense of rebirth.

Mrs S. Neuman,

Trustee

CANCER. FIGHT, FLIGHT OR FREEZE. HOW DO YOU REACT?

The dreaded C word, striking at any stage of life, children, teens, young adults, fathers, mothers, and grandparents alike. Cancer knows no bounds, engulfing not just the individual, but their entire circle - loved ones, family, friends and colleagues.

Cancer hits suddenly, causing devastation, with gripping side-effects extending beyond the illness. Patients endure gruelling treatments leaving them with constant dizziness, erratic moods, hair-loss, numbness, challenging the emotional, physical and mental wellbeing of the patient.

Lev Chaim is in a living, beating heart. We are there for cancer patients both practically and emotionally; providing assistance with the staggering financial needs, medical advocacy, and perhaps the most meaningful - a shoulder for them to cry on. Lev Chaim is there for patients throughout their rocky journey to bring some light into their darkness.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

To aid patients in navigating their journey, addressing their holistic well-being - mind, body, and spirit - under the guidance of experienced therapists.

Case-study:

Dovy, a ten year-old boy, had a benign tumour on his brain and was placed on a cancer medical care plan for an operation in this delicate area. His mom was extremely anxious about the operation. Lev Chaim arranged a second opinion with a top neurologist, who advised leaving the tumour and monitoring it, as operating was deemed unsafe. Mom was relieved, as this opinion came from the most sought-after neurologist. Dovy continues to visit the neurologist at quarterly intervals, and is thriving well.

7

Lev Chaim’s expedited care

Access to doctors in a timely manner significantly impacts survival and recovery. For NHS cancer patients the initial consultation wait is anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Lev Chaim intervenes by expediting testing for diagnosis, providing medical advocacy, and offering referral support and guidance.

Lev Chaim’s family support

We have a support system in place for Lev Chaim family members. No family member dealing with cancer deserves to feel confused or lonely. Children, in particular, need reassurance and explanation, age appropriate, that their parent or loved one will be ok.

Lev Chaim provides a supportive social network of warmth and positivity. We empathise with our patients’ families, understanding their heightened levels of anxiety and stress, and offer sensitivity and support accordingly.

Lev Chaim’s patients are regular people

Lev Chaim serves individuals who are just like you - leading typical lives - ordinary people attending school or holding down respected jobs.

Recognising the burden of associated cancer treatment costs for patients, Lev Chaim actively raises funds to alleviate the financial strain and ensure access to enhanced medical treatments.

Sarah’s* Journey

Our daughter Sarah began experiencing severe fatigue, often falling asleep at any time. She wasn’t herself, frequently getting upset for no apparent reason, and we were puzzled by her extreme mood swings.

Feeling it necessary, we scheduled medical checks, including blood tests. The doctor reported that all results came back clear, suggesting it might be an emotional issue.

As Sarah’s eyesight declined, we opted for an optician check, which led to a referral to an eye specialist to examine her cornea. However, those results also came back clear, prompting a referral for an MRI. Sarah’s condition continued to weaken over time.

However, the soonest MRI appointment available was in three weeks and would be conducted over Zoom. I reached out to Lev Chaim, expressing my concerns and anxiety about the three-week wait for the appointment.

Lev Chaim emphasised the urgency of addressing the matter immediately and managed to schedule an in-person MRI appointment just two days later.

Though there was momentary relief, it was shortlived.

Before heading to A&E, I contacted Lev Chaim again, who provided reassurance, listened, and empathised with our pain. Lev Chaim kept in regular contact, calling or messaging every few days. Sarah received thinking of you notes with treats, including bath bombs, makeup bags, all of which were thoroughly appreciated. These gestures always came at the exact right time and cheered up Sarah!

Lev Chaim sent gifts for my family, balloons, flower arrangements and food treats. These thoughtful gestures carried us through our challenging periods.

We are incredibly grateful for all of Lev Chaim’s help and support. Without them, we would have received the diagnosis later, where every passing day was crucial. Lev Chaim saved us from many more complications. The doctors said that if we had waited any longer, it could have affected Sarah’s eyesight.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

(Incorporating the Director’s Report)

Year ended 31 December 2023

Structure, governance and management

Lev Chaim is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 12 February 2020 as a company and the company number is 12459457. It was registered as a charity on 04 March 2020 with a charity number 1188334. It was originally called Lechaim and its name was changed on 22nd Jan 2021.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.

There is no chief executive officer. The day-today affairs are undertaken by Mrs L Neumann on behalf of the trustees. All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees and all the trustees give of their time freely. The trustees are unpaid and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts. The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity’s employees are the sole domain of the trustees.

Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all grants.

Risk management

The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity. A formal review of the charity’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis.

The key controls used by the charity include:

o Comprehensive strategic planning and budgeting;

o Established organisational structure and lines of reporting;

o Clear authorisation and approval levels.

Through the risk management processes established for the Charity, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

There are no policies for the induction or training of new trustees.

Risk review

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.

The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective grant making. These risks are managed by the trustees researching potential beneficiaries before granting donations.

Objectives and activities

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT

(Incorporating the Director’s Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 December 2023

The objects of the charity are: to promote and protect the physical and mental health of sufferers of any medical conditions around the world through the provision of financial assistance, support and medical advice.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year.

Grant making policy

The charity is funded by donations and investment income. The charity gives out grants in line with the above objects.

The application of the funds by way of grants to either institutions or individuals and is almost always to institutions.

The trustees consider they have met the public benefit test and outline these achievements below.

The trustees measure the success of achieving the stated aims by the number and value of grants paid out for each object. The grants paid out in the year are detailed in the notes to the accounts and the trustees consider they have met their aims successfully this year.

The trustees consider the shorter term aims to be similar to the longer term aims and assess the achievement of the charity in the same way.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Year ended 31 December 2023

The charity received £218,007 in donations during the year and paid out £338,852 by way of direct charitable expenses, grants and support costs.

The direct charitable expenditure was made in line with the stated objects of the charity and relates to consultancy, medical & convalescence expenses that the trustees have paid out to speed up the provision of diagnoses of serious illness or the intervention to cure or prevent the spread of serious illnesses.

The charity also incurred costs associated with convalescence of patients during the year.

The charity incurred governance costs comprising

professional fees.

All other office costs are borne by a local benefactor and the trustees wish to record their appreciation to the benefactor for the free use of their offices.

Related party transactions are disclosed as

applicable in the notes to the accounts.

Fund is an acceptable level of reserves given the nature of revenue receipts against grants payable.

In considering the financial obligations of the charity, the trustees have resolved to maintain a minimum reserve, being the current assets of the charity.

The trustees consider that the year was acceptable in terms of income generated from donations and grants paid out. The trustees are delighted to have made many valuable contributions to the community as a result of these donations and hope to be able to do so for many years to come.

The free reserves, represented by the net current assets of the charity, amounted to £253,902 all of which are unrestricted.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 31 December 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 14 Saltire Gardens, Salford, M74BG, Manchester.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements did not require management to make judgements, estimates or assumptions that affect the amounts reported.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

• income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

• expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.

• expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.

• other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised
