Charily Objectives
The mission of the Cambridge Cancer Help Centre, ICCHCI is to improve the quality of life for people
suffering from cancer along with their relatives and carers. This is achieved through teaching relaxation
techniques, by counselling and by offering practical along with pastoral care support, but not medical
advice.
The Centre offers a wide range of complementary therapies and courses that focus on individuals,
wellbeing, social activities and the opportunity to take part in activities such art and craft groups, dance
and fitness exercise, yoga and tai chi, to name a few.
The Trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public
Benefit when reviewing its Aims and Objectives 8nd in planning the Centre's current and future
activities. We believe that the activities ot the Centre clearly demonstrate a direct public benefit.

offer further workshops in the autumn.
Exercise classes which include Dance, Tai Chi and Yoga continue to be successful with a full
programme delivered regularly at the Centre.
The Complementary Therapy and Counselling Sessions are always very popular. New therapists have
been recruited to assist with the continuing demand. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to all the
volunteer Therapists and Counsellors for giving their time 8nd expertise to the Centre.
Collaborative Support I workshops
We continue to work jointly with Macmillan and the CUH Cancer Information team, and now regularly

Support Groups for people with specific cancers and 8 Carer's support group continue to be offered at
the Centre monthly. The groups Support the following cancer8=
urostomy, gynae, prostate, lymphoma, breast, myeloma and a newgroup Livingwith Cancerthat
covers all other cancers. This list is not exhaustive.
Breast Cancer Now, has started a secondary breast cancer support group at the Centre, continuing our
collaboration with this charity.
Volunteer Team
The Centre relies enormously on a dedicated team of volunteers who undertake a range of tasks vit81 to
its smooth running. We thank all the wonderful therapists, volunteers and course facilitators for their
dedication to the Centre. Their continued support is massively appreciated.
Looking forward
As fundraising from Trusts 8nd Foundations becomes increasingly difficult year on year. the Centre will
continue to nurture relationships with local businesses, charities and expand our fundraising events.
Plans are well underway for a second cycle event which raises not only incredible income, but great
awareness of the Centre.
Keen to expand the activities of the Centre, the Manager is investigating the possibility of providing a
small gym for members, use, a quiet welcoming space away from the usual pumping iron nature of
standard gyms which may be considered less suited to people with cancer and post-surgical scars.
Finanoial Review
Successes in fundraising, particularly the first cycle event, has led to an increase in income to £104,732
12024.. £73,740). A breakdown of fundraising income and donations can be found in notes 3 and 4 to the
accounts.
Despite a small increase in costs there was an overall surplus for the year of £15,80512024'. £2,959)

Reserves policy
The T¥ustees have reviewed the reserves policy.
The Trustees recognise the reliance on fundTaising to ensure the Gentre can continue to operate. To
buffer against any future instability such as the last pandemic, the Trustees have set aside funds to
cover one year's operating costs. currently £90,000 in 8"Continuing Operations" designated tund.
To be able to explore other ways to expand the activities the Centre provides, either geographically or
practically the Trustees have set up an Expanding Reach designated fund, allosmng an initial investment
in this plan of £20,000. Matched funding for this will be sought.
The general unrestrl¢ted reserve at the year end was £17.54112024'. £111.3161
